The reason why I hate Jonathan was that he never sacked ABBA MORRO minister of interior ,turned monster of interior over the NIS Nigeria immigration service recruit exercise


It shall never be well with both APC and PDP for giving us wrong choice at a time

The NIS recruitment exercise was contracted to a private firm. The firm was sanctioned. The President ordered refund of the monies and gave automatic employment to the families of those who died.

The Immigration tragedy was an unfortunate incident. Maybe more should have been done in terms of prosecuting the directors of the firm. But saying the Minister should have been sacked because of the botched operation of an exercise handled by a private firm is overreaching. And it's not like GEJ did nothing.

*AN ADDRESS PRESENTED BY THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE OF NIGERIA (CBCN) ON THE OCCASION OF A COURTESY CALL ON HIS EXCELLENCY MOHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, THURSDAY, 8 FEBRUARY 2018*

Your Excellency,

*Preamble*

We, the representatives of the Catholic Bishops of Nigeria, bring you our cordial greetings and blessings. We desired this meeting, in order to continue the dialogue we initiated with you even before your election as President. We therefore thank you for granting us this audience, which affords us the opportunity to share with you, once again, our thoughts and concerns on some issues affecting our dear country, Nigeria.

 First, we thank God for bringing you back to us healthier and stronger after a period of ill health. We hope and pray that you continue to make progress on the way to full recovery, in order to be able to face the enormous challenges emanating from your exalted office.

 Your Excellency, needless to say that, as President, you are the Father of our dear country Nigeria. It is therefore pertinent that as loyal citizens as well as informed members of the society we come to you from time to time to express not only our willing cooperation with the government in working for the progress of our country, but also to share with you the feelings of the multitude of Nigerians at this moment. We work with the people at the grassroots and, therefore, have first-hand information about what they are going through.

There is no doubt that when you came into office, you had an enormous amount of the goodwill of Nigerians, since many saw you as a person of integrity who would be able to bring sanity into a system that was nearly crippled by endemic corruption. Nearly three years later, however, one has the feeling that this good will is being fast depleted by some glaring failures of government which we have the moral duty to bring to your notice, else we would be failing in our duty as spiritual fathers and leaders.

*Our Concerns*

Your Excellency, there is too much suffering in the country: poverty, hunger, joblessness, insecurity, violence, fear… the list is endless. Our beloved country appears to be under siege. Many negative forces seem to be keeping a stranglehold on the population, especially the weaker and defenseless ones. There is a feeling of hopelessness across the country. Our youths are restive and many of them have taken to hard drugs, cultism and other forms of violent crime, while many have become victims of human trafficking. The Nation is nervous.

 Just as we seem to be gradually emerging from the dark tunnel of an economic recession that caused untold hardship to families and individuals, violent attacks by unscrupulous persons, among whom are terrorists masquerading as herdsmen, have led to a near civil war situation in many parts of the country. We are saddened that repeatedly innocent citizens in different communities across the nation are brutally attacked and their sources of livelihood mindlessly destroyed. Property, worth billions of Naira, including places of worship, schools, hospitals and business enterprises are torched and turned to ashes. We are still more saddened by the recent massacre of unarmed citizens by these terrorists in some communities in Benue, Adamawa, Kaduna and Taraba States which has caused national shock, grief and outcry. What is even more distressful is that the government, whose responsibility it is to protect the life and property of every citizen seems either incapable or unwilling to do this. The silence of the federal government in the wake of these horrifying attacks is, to say the least, shocking. There is a feeling of helplessness among the people and the danger that some people may begin to take laws into their hands.

We therefore earnestly urge the government to take very seriously its primary responsibility of protecting the lives and property of its citizens and ensure that such mindless killings do not reoccur. Herdsmen may be under pressure to save their livestock and economy but this is never to be done at the expense of other people’s lives and means of livelihood. We would like to add our voice to those of other well-meaning Nigerians who insist that a better alternative to open grazing should be sought rather than introducing “cattle colonies” in the country. While thinking of how best to help cattle owners establish ranches, government should equally have plans to help the other farmers whose produce is essential for our survival as a nation.

In a similar vein, daredevil kidnappers, who at present are having a field day, with a feeling of invincibility, must be made to understand that there is a government in this country. Government should invest more in equipping our Police Force with modern high-tech devices that will help them track down and arrest these criminals and make them face the wrath of the law.

The Federal Character Principle is enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria:“_The government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity and also to command national loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from a few states or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups in that government or in any of its agencies_” (Section 14, Sub-section 3-4). Disregard for this Principle in some federal government appointments as well as perceptible imbalance in the distribution of federal amenities has created the loss of a sense of belonging in many parts of the country, hence the constant cries of marginalization, agitation for secession and calls for restructuring.
 

*Conclusion and Assurance of Prayers*

Our Church has always complemented the efforts of government in such areas as providing quality education and primary health care services to our people. We shall continue to support the effort of the government in nation-building. As the voice of the voiceless, we shall therfore continue to highlight the plight of our people and play our prophetic role of sensitizing the government, thus promoting national unity and cohesion. As we encourage you to spare no effort to build a new Nigeria, we reassure you of our support and prayers for your success.  On the long run,Government under your watch must do all in its power through good policies to restore confidence that government is for all and sundry. Our collective efforts must be seen in the desire to return to the fine principles of democracy such as true federalism, negotiation and consensus building as means of achieving a more equitable distribution of the resources of our country.

Thank you, Your Excellency, for the audience and may God bless you.

Thank you, my Bishops. I trust you not to sugarcoat words.

We sincerely apologise for the intense heat all over the world . This is due to the general maintenance going on in Hell Fire. This maintenance is imperative to accommodate more Nigerian politicians when the world eventually ends. We sincerely regret any inconveniences this may have caused.

What type of nonsense did you write?

An accident happened, caused by a private firm, GEJ did his best to assuage the situation and you say it's medicine after death?

If you just want to criticize aimlessly, do so. Don't type nonsense.

No one wanted that scenario to happen. Abba Morro wanted to be more transparent. The NIS has been ridden with scandals like the recent CBN, FIRS, and DSS recruitments where there is nepotism and lack of transparency. Unfortunately, the private company contracted did a shoddy job and people lost their lives.

Then the FG does its best to assuage the situation and you call it medicine after death. Is the sack you are shouting about not medicine after death as well? Abi which is more important, refunding money, sanctioning the firm, and giving automatic employment to the families; or sacking the Minister (not even the Comptroller General of NIS).

Sometimes I don't understand how you f*ckers think.

GEJ's response was not the best ever, but it was decent in light of the circumstances. He didn't do nothing.

Nobody is coming to bail you out in 2019. You'd vote for another corrupt mofo. Hopefully, you'd vote a more sensitive and sensible corrupt mofo rather than another bigot, corrupt, nepotist mofo like the current dullard-in-chief.

There are no "mights" there. Those are consecrated Bishops of the Holy Catholic Church.
They don't suck up to any man's stinking ass and they sure don't play dirty political games with anyone.
They don't just talk in our Churches, they also say it as it is - face-to-face.

Bear in mind, consecrated Bishops doesn't mean righteous Bishops or holy Bishops.

Whatever it means to you. See what is and stop envisaging what isn't.

FarahAideed:
Any Christian leader that goes to pay homage to the Satanic relic called Buhari at these times when Buhari has refused to tackle herdsmen who are killing people deserves to be ex communicated from the church

I don't think they went to pay homage.
They most probably went to complain to him about the situation in Nigeria, in case he doesn't know.
