Re: Obiano Reassures On Partnership With Church As Anglican Communion Holds Prayer Rally In Awka.

The Anglican prayer rally 2018 has come and gone but the issues raised are yet to be dealt with.

 However, it is important to state that the Roman Catholic Governor of Anambra state, Chief Willie Obiano did not attend the rally neither was he represented. The venerable, Okwuosa attended the prayer rally as an Anglican priest and so was not a representative of the Anambra state government. The Governor did not attend because it was not a Roman Catholic event neither did he deem it fit to send a high powered Government delegates to represent his government.

A Rejoinder Re- Bishop Nwokolo and rest of us

By Rev JB Okafor
We write not to argue with one so called Rev Iloegbunam because he is not a priest of the Anglican Church nor  Diocese on the Niger. The Anambra state government under Chief Willie Obiano should come out plainly instead of making  use of masquerades and pseudo writers. But whoever allows himself/herself to be used should remember that history will judge them.

Do Not Be Deterred By Government Intimidation & Verbal Violence As Most Nigerians Are Behind You

 

Nigeria: 2nd November 2018)-Amnesty International must remain undeterred, courageous and committed in exposing large scale rights abuses and violations around the world particularly in Nigeria where such abuses and violations have been raised to an “industrial scale proportion”. 

This position of ours on AI is sequel to recent intimidation and verbal violence unleashed on the group  by the Nigerian Army (DHQ) and the Nigeria Police Force over its advocacy condemnation of the recent killing of “at least 46” or  “as much as 60” members of unarmed Islamic Movement in Nigeria (Shiites). The growing intolerance of the present central Government of Nigeria to democratic free speeches including street protests and religious processions is alarming and deafening and poses greatest threat to the sustenance of democracy, human rights and rule of law in Nigeria.
