THE President General of the umbrella Igbo organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, has taken a swipe on the Federal Government over the current scarcity of fuel, describing the situation as a deliberate plan to impoverish the Igbo people, who usually travel enmasse during the Christmas period.

Nwodo, who noted that whatever wealth Igbo sons and daughters would be bringing home during Christmas would be halved by the the obvious effect of fuel shortage, advised Ndigbo to strive to ensure that they invest at home. This is as the Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Ecclesiastical Province, His Grace, Dr. Anthony J. V. Obinna and the Bishop Diocese on the Niger, Rt. Rev Dr Owen Nwokolo, urged Ndigbo to use this period of Christmas to intensify their prayers for peace in the country.

The two reverred clerics also urged the Igbos to bring back their wealth to their homeland. The Ohanaeze President, Nwodo, also said in a Christmas message to the people that the period provided good opportunity for Ndigbo to pray more to God to send succour to alleviate their sufferings in the country. Chief Nwodo alleged that knowing what Christmas means to Ndigbo, the Federal Government was very uncharitable to the people to allow fuel scarcity in the country during this yuletide.

He said: “They know that at this period in the year, Ndigbo travel a lot to their homeland; that is when the government chose to close our airport; that is when it decided to allow scarcity of fuel. This is very unfair and insensitive. “It’s a deliberate policy of impoverishing our people, to ensure that whatever wealth our sons and daughters bring home during Christmas, is expended on the obvious effect of fuel shortage and none for investment.” Nwodo warned that any deliberate policy to undermine the economy of Ndigbo would affect the entire country heavily. He urged Ndigbo not to allow the hardship occasioned by the anti people policy of this administration to affect them in ploughing some fractions of their wealth home. Let nothing spoil your Xmas —Archbishop Obinna Archbishop Obinna gave the advice in his 2017 Christmas message “Light up the Candles; Sing the Carols and Jump for Joy.

He said: “Let nothing spoil your Christmas, not even the government induced poverty”. The cleric said that “only recently, with the so called Operation Python Dance, a number of our youthful children were swallowed up, with a number of them are still unaccounted for. “ That Ekeukwu Market in Owerri is now lying in ruins, reflects the dispirited hearts of traders, civil servants, pensioners and the common Imo man, in the face of mass poverty and sadness in our land,” Obinna said. Bishop Nwokolo preaches peace, reconciliation In a similar vein, Bishop Nwokolowho spoke during his Christmas message said the love of God, good will to men and peace on earth were the three cardinal messages that must be emphasised during Christmas celebrations because God loves the world and gave his only son Jesus Christ to redeem mankind. Udeogaranya calls for Christ-like humility

In a related development, a chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Charles Udeogaranya, in his message urged Christians to rediscover and rededicate themselves to love, peace, unity, equity and justice. He said: “The lessons of humility, selflessness, love and simplicity learnt from the birth of Jesus should be our guiding principles. He urged those in position of affluence to return to a more simple life in emulation of the unique experience of our Lord Jesus who was born in a manger. “Our continued existence as a nation was a great testimony that God loves Nigeria and will continue to protect us the more if we come closer to him. We should therefore, keep up our hopes for a better Nigeria as there will always be light after darkness”

Bolustical:
They GROWN THE RICE when you were busy bolting out of your English classes?

Ode!

Dollyak:
You don't have to be a Muslim to see that this is a legitimate protest. Defending an adoption of western culture i.e Lawyers wig, rope and dressings, while criticizing an Islamic dress is a master piece of hypocrisy.

Habyz:
The hijab wasn't enforced as you said. And I agree that covering your body doesn't make you holier that does who don't but the ones who don't have other reasons for not and I can say that they are not all pure reasons also the hijab is not a blanket of any sort it is simply to cover the head it isn't going to stop her from wearing the uniform how is that a problem to the law school?

Habyz:
What have your Christian association done about those social ills? I'm not in anyway supporting any form of inaction against it but..
You said we came to the world naked and naked we shall go, I couldn't agree less with you but does that mean we should expose our bodies

seguntijan:
When the issue of protecting the rights of women in hijab is raised, some people will come up with unrelated ideas. You will hear, "Let's have Cele people too wear their sutana and keep bare foot everywhere. Let the Egungun dress in their regalia. Those of the Ezemo ilk should adorn their costume..."
No one is holding them now. It's a free world.
We are all living witnesses to an attempt to play that out in Osun State the other day. Those of other religions went on to instruct their wards to dress in chorister's uniform, sango wears, among other ceremonial wears in protest to the hijab uniform to Muslim school girls. We could all see how theirs wasn't sustainable. Their dressing styles are purely ceremonial.
Unlike the hijab, these dressings cited are only ceremonial wears. The hijab isn't a ceremonial wear. It's every time you see that woman in hijab but you want her to remove it to disregard God's commandments. She doesn't wear it occasionally. She believes it's part of her religion. The Nigerian law respects her right to practice her religion. Her right to wear the hijab does, in no way, harm the rights of non-hijab wearers. So, what's your problem?

ablelad:
It is not a surprise to see comment coming out from a non Muslim like you people. You are all sentimental that's just it. What act have you all exhibited with your foul comments. Its equivalent to terrorist, racism and abuse. Allah will judge you all according to your comments. What are your mothers and sisters wearing?clothes they put on showing cleavages, lapses and almost their unclothedness and yet you celebrate them. Hijab gives respect.

Sikay19:
Some people are just being hypocritical on the ground of islamophobic attitude. It is really unreasonable to have compare hijab with these ceremonial style of dressing. Hijab is being known as part of Muslim identity of of which every female muslims are to be adorn with and definitely not for ceremonial or spiritual purposes.
The argument is really baseless

zakari247:
if ever that happens and she is not call to bar then we will introduce a doctrine that will disobey every court ruling in Nigeria that every Muslim will take them for granted. and courts will gossip centers while judges will judge on cases of the Christians in Nigeria.

Farmerforlife:
Now they are trying to find some dumb fault to put on her. Typical behaviour.

I truly salute her strength, courage and principles.

This is what a true Muslim should be like, not those so called 'Muslims' who were begging her to disobey her Lord and creator for the sake of some smelling humans that are going to rot in the ground one day, but who seem to believe that their rules are superior to, and must supersede those of the Creator.

Ride on my sister, and may Allah grant you victory over the disbelievers and replace your law degree with what is far better. Lots of lawyers are begging for 'case' on the streets outside the courthouses, wearing worm-eaten okada suits. There is no assurance that your law degree alone would have even provided you with a source of income. At least maintain the fact that Allah's blessings is with you.

It is Allah Alone who provides worldly wealth.
