The 266th and current Pope of the Catholic Church, His Holiness Pope Francis, has shunned Nigeria in his first official trip to Africa.

The pope is said to have decided not to step into Nigeria stemming from numerous attack of Islamist sect, Boko Haram. According to The Vatican, instead of coming to Nigeria, the pope will be visiting Kenya, Uganda and Central Republic. He will be meeting with slum dwellers and refugees. He will also call for dialogue between Christians and Muslims when he visits these three aforementioned African countries next month.

He is billed to have a two-day stay in the state capitals of each of the countries he visits. This is the pope’s first visit to Africa and he is all out to have as many inter-religious meetings as possible. Since his election as the first Latin American pope, Francis has met the most needy on each of his 10 foreign tours. In Nairobi, he will visit Kangemi, a slum that is home to 650,000 people. He will say a Mass at a university in the capital.


In Uganda, Pope Francis is scheduled to pay a visit to the home for the disabled in Nalukolongo while his last stop is Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, where the centrepiece of his visit to a country plagued by inter-communal violence is a meeting with Muslim leaders in the Koudoukou mosque.

This adds to the numerous times Nigeria has been sidelined from receiving important international figures. President Barack Obama sidelined the vast nation on his first African trip as head of state in 2009. Instead he visited Nigeria’s shrimp-sized neighbour, Ghana, where he lauded the smaller country’s democratic achievements. Obama also left Nigeria out again in his 2009 visit.

Nigeria is a failed state.

Failed state.
It is only a matter of time before the rest of the world begin to look at Nigeria as non-existent like haiti.

Pope just visited the US and he did not visit Canada or Mexico. So what's the fuzz about Pope not visiting Nigeria?

After shunning your president like a nincompoop at the UN.

You seriously can't fathom how useless your country is.

Since I lost hope in Nigeria, I have been living a stress free life. There is no redemption for this country; the earlier we citizen realize this the better for us all.

Of what use is his visit to Nigeria?
We need to stop looking for attention when no one actually gives a damn.
He is free to visit wherever he likes.

There is hope.. Dnt give up
Modified.... Tune in to brilla now..murphy is asking callers again

Good, every sane mind avoids blood sucking islamists. Even the Pope agrees with Biafrans. We also know why the Pope refused to meet him in the US. The Pope knows what Biafrans know. The boycott has started already.

Do animals care about shame? A nigerian animal delegate threatened to assasinate Biafran families right there in the U.S because they were protesting. He later ran away when called to explain further. How shameless!

The case is coming up in few months time, Nnamdi will soon be more popular than every president in Sub-saharan Africa.

Lalasticlala, Afam4eva, OAM4J, mods where una dey? Front page things oo

Buhari and Abubakar shekau are within the same class but Buhari is an illiterate terrorist Shekau know book small

Nigeria is a giant of Africa is hoax.
Nigeria is a failed country and with time the whole world will know the truth.

And who says Nigeria and Nigerians are perturbed by such news.

Abeg, he should park well abi he be God?

Who gives a shoit but brainwashed Nigerians.

Pope....
Oh, the gay guy in white flowing robes?
Don't give a hoot......

If he is a gay or support the act he is not welcome in Nigeria.

Kini big deal? Is he coming for physical or spiritual reasons? Maybe he is avoiding Nigeria because we have toooooooooo many churches already. so he need to propagate christ in places where they haven't heard enough about christ.
