    fearlessly discharging his duty of his vow, if all men of God especially the so called general overseers have been this honest in preaching; surely we won't have been were we are today as a society with moral decadence. may God whom you serve, continue to strengthen you

    ❤ the truth you have spoken to me, that Christianity without love is another religion and a lost case. Love after all is central to it and drives in spite of all. I thank GOD most immensely for you my Lord.

    We don't need any political parties and politicians to solve our problems for us. They have suffocated us more than enough that we can't breathe again! We, the Indigenous Peoples in the Nigeria Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self Determination/ Survival (NINAS) are ready to take ourselves out of the present quagmire. One Nigeria is a Fulani Caliphate Conquest where Love is turned to hate!!
    My Lord Bishop Onah, your sermon is always enriching. Thanks.

    Yes, we join you, Fr. Bishop, in this sober reflection, weeping and praying to God to save our country, Nigeria.
    And like you concluded during the homily, we must continue to love and pray for those who abuse and victimize us, for that is the best 'retaliation' or reward, so to say.

    Dear Lord, please strenghten me to carry this leadership burden you have laid in my heart. My people are crying everyday, Lord, when shall our salvation be? You have asked, "Whom shall I send?" but I am here and helpless. Nigeria no longer needs politicians, Nigeria needs LEADERS.

    It's normal for Christians to preach love. But the Nigerian situation is not normal Hence I commend Father Onah for this message of love.

    Not at the end of time. But now because NOTHING, NOTHING can separate us from the love of God.
    The peace the world cannot give is always in the middle. Nothing on the left nothing from the right can shake it. That's Love.

    Good one his Lordship but what about the words of the psalmist in Psalm 149:6-7. “Let the praise of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand. To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon its people”.
    Can love still solve this horrible situation?

    How can we preach love when our religious fathers enrich there pockets and forget to share love with their flocks and forget to preach the truth because of fear of favour. God bless you.

    My dear friends,
    I must be honest with you, today, I would have preferred not to be here to preach to you. Today, I would have preferred to lock myself up in my chapel before God alone to weep and to pray. To weep and to pray for my nation where darkness has descended. To weep and pray for my church that is being stifled out of existence in the world and also in Nigeria. To weep and pray for Debora Samuel who was killed because she found herself in a part of Nigeria she thought was home but it wasn’t. To weep and to pray for my brother and friend Bishop Matthew Hasan Coker. The world acclaimed the voice of the voiceless who has now become self-target for those same voiceless people who see him as part of their problem rather than as part of the solution. To weep and to pray for the poor miserable murderers of Debora who have been left uneducated and unemployed deliberately so that they can be manipulated, brain-washed and instrumentalized for political ends by religious bigots and political egoists. To weep and pray for people who should be leaders, religious leaders who enjoy being ambivalent about the condemnation of people when it is perpetrated by one of them. To weep and to pray for our political leaders under whose watch this nation has crumbled and they keep looking for whom to blame for the mess into which they have put all of us. I would have preferred not to be standing before you here now to tell you about love. The liturgy of today instructs every Christian and every Christian preacher to reflect on the essence and meaning of Christianity. The love we should have for one another but how can you preach love in Nigeria. How can you preach love in a country where violence has become a rule?
    Where hatred and intolerance have become norms rather than exceptions. Where corruption has become a culture and a tradition. Where impunity has become lay. Where the government feels so helpless that it is now appealing even to religious leaders to talk to non-state-actors so that they will not make this security situation in our country worse. Those were the words of the Vice President of Nigeria while he was speaking to all Catholic bishops of West Africa gathered in a meeting in Abuja.
    He addressed us two Tuesdays ago. And you are wondering how a presidency could publicly admit that they have lost control that they have left the grounds so free and the country so lawless and the so stateless that non-state-actors now take over the entire country. Not only in Sokoto and Kaduna, and on the highway between Kaduna and Abuja or between Abuja and Nokoja and Nansuka but throughout the country. How can you preach love in Nigeria- in a country where those who want to follow the rule of law are regarded by the rest as weak? How can you preach love in Nigeria- in a country that claims not to have any state religion but constantly places a religion in an unhealthy advantage of others? How can you preach love in Nigeria- where a few people have collected what belongs to everybody and they are doing with whatever they please? How can I tell Nigerian students to love their neighbour, love their country, love their leaders when their parents have paid their school fees and they are sitting at home? In a country where the ruling party within a space of less than two weeks can rake in from 27 persons 26.3 billion Naira collected as fees for presidential nomination forms and the same ruling party is unable to finance our education properly such that our teachers are at home and our students are roaming the streets. How can you preach love in Nigeria, in a country where members of ASUU, hear me well members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in Nigeria have collaborated with INEC to install misfits in power in this country because they have collected money? All their electoral officers who installed the present ruling class in Nigeria are professors of our universities, members of ASUU. All INEC chairmen for may decades have been members of ASUU. Whom are we blaming?

    : Love?
    : Yes, love.
    : But it is hard, Lord....It is painful.
    : Yes, yes, I know, but love. It is only love that works.
    : Give us the grace then, Lord, to witness to this love.
    : My grace is sufficient for you.
    Thank you, Fada Bishop.

      Somehow we keep focusing on Presidential forms that raked in a small amount compared to the #50Ms, #20Ms, #10Ms & #2Ms that has raked in more than #16Bil.
      These Politicians are Simply Wicked & Heartless, there is no other way to say it.
