He could have applied for Asylum

Dem tell you say na wetin dem dey use asylum for be that?

I thought Trump is only deporting non-Christians since he has been fighting for Christians all over the world? I wont be surprised if the priest being sent back home is one of those passionate lovers and supporters of Trump like his family in Nigeria

But this guy fooooqed up.
What type of a religious leader would set this type of example? It means he doesn't believe anything he was preaching.

What happened to "endurance", long-suffering as they preach?

Nobody no won die buy everyone won go






HEAVEN

So that means that at the end of the day, your criticism of GEJ over chibok girls was unjustified then?

Your brother unalive himself just not to come home. This is a region that’s far from boko haram and this is what Concerns you?

ElevationD:
His fears were not valid. He had no reason whatsoever to take his own life, even though it was his own.

If missionaries did not take the risks many centuries ago to arrive in Africa to spread the goodnews and tell Africans about their own nations, were would the deceased have gone? Early missionaries lost their lives to natives, animals, wars and mosquitoes, yet the persisted. They faced all forms of persecution to set up churches, even in Abakaliki and the entire length and breath of his Ebonyi state. It was not his birthright to reside us America as a Catholic priest. It is the right of the church to post priests to the desired locations.

Or do we want to say that foreign priests posted to Nigeria should reject because there’s persecution of Christians or terror everywhere? The guy took his life as he say the position as his birthright. By the way, who says that he might not have been posted to Europe or any other country?

It is so sad and painful to hear such news. What was he preaching to his members in the same situation?

Right and very right you are. I've read enough mission stories, and matrydom stories to know that you are very correct. It's kind of what Jesus expected too, since He was the first martyr of the faith.

At the end, guy was not cut out to be a priest. I think that Catholic church should tell people who want to enter the clergy as priests, nuns and monks that it is not an easy life at all at all.

Something is not right here. I pray that God have mercy on his soul. What a loss.

He will rather die than return to Nigeria. Ah!

That was extreme!!

An ordained catholic priest for that matter?

There are lots of catholic priests within the Abakiliki archdioceses, going about, doing the Lord's work

I hope it is not because he has tasted life in US and the prospect of returning back to Nigeria was too difficult to handle.

Lots of priests do not willingly wants to come back to Nigeria after completing their apostolic work overseas, especially in the Western country.

They should know that their local archdioceses has the final say on where priests should be posted and how long.

EKONGKING:
The priest might have developed panic attacks due to being posted in the region where ESN and IPOB are know to target catholic clergy.
This is the came situation among catholic clergy in Lagos also when they are being posted to east.

RIP father.

In in Lagos where agboro and thugs are king why will a sane person go there.

You have missed the point.

May God bless you the way tinubu government is blessing nigerians.

The bad news in which his fellow kinsmen are painting on Nigeria wall sent the man a panic and fear of unknown that actualised to taken of his own life.
He thought he would die the day he stepped into Abakaliki soil....so pity, the bad news killed him.

Nigeria is not truly safe but not a place like Abakaliki in South eastern Nigeria.

He’s fake

Lol, format...na una brothers kuku dey kidnap and kpai una

Won't change anything.

Your country is the way it is because you guys insist on having public services at knock down prices.

This prevents investment in said services, meaning they are inefficent, meaning that at the end things like massive industrialization are not possible. Also, debt results from keeping prices of such ultiites low

That means a large population of unemployed youth,some of whom take to crime.

Also, most of us do not pay tax. (Yes, the kids will now mock me). No tax, no money to modernize the police, pay for forensic labs, pay for better detention facilites, pay even for state run reformation centers, pay for better education facilites, and so forth

Result, maladjusted youth...more crime

Then at the end of the day, you all prefer imported stuff. More imports, less local production, no jobs...see the pattern.

And then you defend your corrupt politicans, meaning disgruntled people, meaning the next set of currpt ppoltiicans then present themselves as the good guys and then take over from where the others were chopping, while people support one side or the other because...government to them is about breads from the table.

Result...shitty economy.

All adds up.

why should I pay Tax when government have refused to use our natural resources for the betterment of the country ?
Do you know how much raw materials are stolen by under this administration.

We are not a poor resource country like UK
Even if you want to tax
Tax billionaires or the rich , let their wealth build our nation .

Tinubu , can you please make Nigeria great ?

toluleke:
I wonder why kill yourself. Who told him he would not make it in Nigeria. Have people not left USA and start over. This one is not grounded in the Word of God. Bible is so strong that it changes your mindset and thinking. That anywhere you are will favour you

What are you saying, can't you be reasonable here, did the Reverend father told you he was looking for a country to MAKE IT IN ? Did he tell you he was in USA to make it una go just rush comment without thinking first.

Everyone has to pay a tax, it's how the saner climes have been doing for centuries even when it wasn';t benefiting them

Payment of tax is also the only way that people can be forced to hold their government to account.

Your revenue from oil and other raw materials will never be enough because the population is too large for them to sustain us, and we do not control the prices.

Infact your policy is what we have been doing since independence, and why we are broke and why corruption is rampant.

So sad he took his own life .

He should of returned home to Nigeria when his visa expires, that doesn't mean he will never visit the USA again in his life time.

Just return, probably after some time again, you can go back to USA besides Donald Trump will never rule USA forever.

After 2028 Donald Trump will become former US president.

Nawa for this Father o

Eriokanmi:
But why?Ministerial or missionary call isn't about comfort. A lot of western missionaries left their comfort zones,lived,died and were buried in most villages the in Nigeria where they served as missionaries. This one shock me.
Trump's immigration policies aren't forever. Shebi he'd have renewed his visa and returned later. After all,he didn't commit any criminal offence,which could have blocked his visa renewal process.

Exactly @bolded. We underate what the white man did for black Africa. These guys left their homes, comfort and loved ones and came to the jungles of black Africa and died from diseases and sometimes through jungle justice and even their corpses buried here. But black African priests all want to run to the same white man's land to enjoy unlimited comfort.

Suicide is never an option. His fear about Nigeria and been a Christian in Nigeria is very much valid.

magicminister:
Imagine having a country so messed up that you’d rather commit suicide than leave another country where you’re an immigrant. Our political rulers all need to be hung and shot!! Including Tinubu!

There are many priests in the rural areas still serving God.
There's something wrong with this man, may be depression.

Catholic Church is not Pentecostal where their clergy are all after material comfort.

Somalia will be better than Nigeria - Nnamdi Kanu

Best decision for him.

UkoAnnang:


Wait first let me check something

When looking at the pictures in sequence, the first picture was when father Madu was in Nigeria while the second picture was taken in the US.
In the illustrations of the both pictures one could see the clear difference.

But, even at that it doesn't worth taking his own life because of Visas and continue stay in the United States

You're not really smart .

You should know that the second picture is when he was newly ordained. He should be around 30 years in that picture, while the first picture is the recent picture when he was over 50 years.

Go and check his videos when he celebrating Mass in the USA

You've got valid points up there as the reasons for underdevelopment in Nigeria especially in areas of not paying for utilities and services and tax evasion. But remember Nigeria has large crude oil deposits but a few people are benefiting from the extraction and sales of it. Believe me, if Nigeria's natural resources was used for the good of the people, we would have gotten to the level where no one will want to use public utilities and services for free. Educated and employed people will be glad to give back to the government that took care of them. Is that the case in Nigeria and other black African countries?

Donald Trump said White South Africans are being oppressed and he opened a path for them to migrate to america

Same Donald Trump said Nigerian Christians are being targeted and he blocked them from entering the US

And you don’t know yet that this man doesn’t give a shitttt about you black people ?

Dmthreads:

You should be ashamed that a priest from your region has committed suicide, instead of quoting the disgraced and jailed IPOB leader.

As of today, there are several priests I the rural areas doing the work of God.

Being a priest in Catholic Church is not about living in comfort and aggrandizing material things

Catholic church is different from pentecostal churches

Nwaiyoo:

Nothing valid, he was not born in the US,
There are several priests who are still serving God in the rural areas

The main issue is I doubt if he was called by God, may be one of those few who joined priesthood for material comfort

Na so nija bad finish? Taking once life as a better option to living in nija.
