Nnewi Anglican Bishop Bans National Anthem And Nigeria Flag In Churches
--------

The Anglican Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, His Lordship, Rt. Rev. Ndubusi Chukwuka Obi, has revealed the reason why he suspended the singing of National Anthem and hosting of Nigeria flag in churches in Nnewi Anglican Diocese.

The Bishop who has been very critical about the need for restructuring of Nigeria revealed that he suspended the recitation of Nigeria National Anthem in Diocesan events and hosting of Nigeria flag in all the churches in the Diocese, in protest of the maladministration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him, there is no leadership in Nigeria, and the country has become a ship with no captain.

“Nigeria has become more divided in President Buhari administration, in every part of Nigeria, there is agitation for either secession or injustice, President Buhari has failed woefully, he has redefined the concept of leadership in Nigeria”

“If you look at the pattern of appointment, a part of Nigeria is always favoured in appointment, what our President runs in Nigeria is government of the Fulani by the Fulani and for the Fulani’s.

“People are no longer comfortable being in Nigeria, and the worst of it all is that you cannot even protest or talk against the government, everybody is afraid”

Continuing, he expressed displeasure on how security agencies especially the army who have been deployed in the east, are subjecting the citizens to inhuman treatment, he wondered why security has not been deployed in the north where schoolchildren are kidnapped almost on daily basis.

Modified: Soon they will tag your Lordship a pained contractor of the FG that couldn't get contract anymore. They will find a way to silence you with possible blackmailing here and there and lastly will label your Lordship enemy of the state for banning those insignia.

Yet Nigeria flag, Buhari picture go still dey for the church...

Btw, some people don't really know the implication of their reckless statement..

A pastor preaching Love or Hatred?

Wow, trouble be like wetin again shocked shocked

God will continue to bless you more, our beloved Bishop!

"How can we sing the Lord's song in a strange land...."

It seems our clergy men have awoken. The other time it was the Methodist archbishop of Onitsha, now is the Anglican Bishop of Nnewi. Anyone still having doubt is indeed a fool.

Igbo elite are fast joining hands to break the contraption.

Let me see any pastor again that will ask us to pray for Nigeria. Any prayer about Nigeria now will be for God to bring the contraption to an end.

Except that Catholic churches don't hoist the nation's flag in church premises nor do they sing the national anthem during Mass.

What so sort of treatment? What did they do to Mbaka? Aside asking him to steer clear politics on the podium.

Once congregation is dwindling and cashout isn't as expected, they just latch unto the biafra franchise as last resort.

They've all perfected the art of controlling the masses from that part of town, knowing they're led principally by emotions and not reason.

Well, as long as they keep their ipob madness to the East, it's their cup of tea.
