Why Christians?
And Christians refuse to be United
I pity the end of Christiansity is nearer than before.

Prayers alone can't do anything.
We need to ACT.
Agree some selfish Christian pastors had destroyed the Faith and Believe but whatever rest of Us that still genuinely serve God?

Are we going to fold our hands?

Nigeria forces won't fight for us;
Other religions won't fight for us;
Americans, European, other countries won't fight for us.
Politicians won't fight for us.

We need to face this and END this Oppressions in all ways....

We can make Christianity Greater Again

All thanks to Fr. Mbaka for making Rev fathers look like a joke.
They are just like Politicians, so nobody treats them with respect anymore..

Re: Gunmen Abduct Another Catholic Priest In Anambra by hopefulLandlord:
Where was the god he is serving when this was happening? I guess he was too busy working in mysterious ways, so mysterious it's totally indistinguishable from radom chance.

Same mysterious ways he was working when that redeemed female preacher was stoned to death in the north. Same way Deborah Yakubu was burned to death for her belief. Also when Reigner's bible church collapsed. when ozubulu church members were pumped full of hot lead. Also when the owo church members were at the receiving end of assailants bullets.
In February 2018, a 14 year old girl was kidnapped alongside other girls at a school in Yobe state. Later all the girls were released except the aforementioned 14 year old because she refused to renounce her belief in the bible god. The bible god in his mysterious ways decided to leave her there till now, so much so that she's being raped severally for over 6 years and counting, married off against her will to her kidnappers and has even given birth to at least 2 kids for them.

I hope I never become as useless as the bible god when it comes to real matters because I'd be useless indeed

The level of insecurity at this time is highly alarming and completely unbecoming of a country who prides herself as the Giant of Africa.

It's not only the people of Nigeria that will not be safe, a time is coming and that time is close that even the politicians and their religious leaders friend will not be able to sleep in the house build using sweat and blood of the innocent. They have succeded in making the black skin look like a curse, the time that every evill will come to an end is near.

Judgement is upon the wicked. The good people of Nigeria should be a personal relationship with the Most High, government will not protect you, rather they will protect only the rich and the occult.

All these gun men can be useful for the nation while they become useless to themselves.
Government should create a large farmland with joint task force units securing it.
These elements should be made to work there till they are like 70 years after which they should be redeployed to another quarters of a bedroom with central feeding cook by their female counter part where they will spend the rest of their lives .
With this all these unuseful elements will be useful to the nation

Re: Gunmen Abduct Another Catholic Priest In Anambra by Ogbuu101: 9:27am On Jun 18, 2024
Hmm.
This is very suspicious.
The typical Anambra person whether honest or criminal has big respect for the Catholic church and priests.
