*Coronavirus is not going anytime now.We should just learn how to live with it. That's all.*

Continue locking Down your economy won't end CoVid-19, you will end up adding salt to your injury.

Sustained lockdown will fuel economic crisis and can pull the entire system down.


*Are you saying that we should this lockdown or continue under Curfew till next year if CoVid-19 remains till next year?*

Open the system and learn how to live with it!!!


*Also, let's decentralize Management of CoVid-19 from NCDC centralized command system.*


By God's grace, we shall overcome.

Why the churches will never be the same after COVID 19. Read below

Churches with massive numbers may witness significant reduction after pandemic - Sam Adeyemi

The head pastor of Daystar Christian Centre, Sam Adeyemi, has said that the church will not be as it used to be after the deadly coronavirus outbreak is over.

He made this known during a live chat with BBC Yoruba on Tuesday, May 12, a session that was observed by The Cable.

In the chat, the man of God said that the pandemic will greatly affect churches, as some of them may witness a big reduction in their membership as many members might just want to continue worshipping God from home.

“That’s an issue I have pondered upon severally because the church may not be the same again after this COVID-19 experience.

As you can see, many people have been receiving messages via online broadcast from their homes. It’s no longer like before that they have to be physically present in churches,” he said.

Adeyemi said that since many are already used to getting broadcast from the comfort of the homes, they would feel reluctant to go to church even after everything comes back to normal.

“Now that many have been used to worshiping God from the comfort of their rooms, will they go to church when COVID-19 is finally over? Many Christians may also feel relaxed on Sundays when they usually go to church,” he added.

Trailer loaded with Fulani cows, goats and "Almajiris" heading to the South East fell at the Lokoja Bridge killing many

Trailer loaded with Fulani cows, goats and "Almajiris" heading to the South East fell at the Lokoja Bridge killing manyA trailer – truck loaded with travellers from the Northern Nigeria and heading to the South Eastern Nigeria has tipped over killing scores of the travellers as well as animals loaded in the trailer. 

The animals were suspected Fulani cows, rams and goats loaded inside the truck along side with travellers and Almajiris headed to the South Eastern Nigeria.

According to the report made available to 9News Nigeria reporter, the accident happened around Meme bridge in Lokoja.

9News Nigeria gathered that the trailer was loaded with many people suspected to be Fulani herdsmen and Almajiris being transported from some states in Northern Nigeria to the South Eastern Nigeria.

Trailer loaded with Fulani cows, goats and “Almajiris” heading to the South East fell at the Lokoja Bridge killing manyRecall that there have been several interceptions of trucks carrying several hundreds of Almajiris migrating from the Northern part of the country to the Southern Nigeria especially South West and South East.

The mass exodus and repatriation of Almajiris to the Southern Nigeria have been ostensibly engendered by recent announcement by Norther Nigeria governors that Almajiri system should be abolished.

Almajiris transported from MinnaHowever, Southern Nigerian residents and leaders have shown repulsive response to this development owing to suspicions of the purpose of the mass movement of the Almajiris from the North to the Southern Nigeria.

The suspicious factors include security threat as some of these Almajiris could be used for malicious political intentions against their host states.

Other suspicions also border around health threats. There is suspicion that some of these Almajiris could be people already infected with corona virus, hence posing the risk of infecting unsuspecting people living in host states.

So, take precautions.

COMMUNIQUE ISSUED BY THE LEADERSHIP OF ALL TRANSPORT OPERATORS IN EBONYI STATE ON 11/05/2020 By EZEIGBO OJUKWU

Following the outcome of the meeting which was well attended by the Department of Parks Development and the leadership of all transport operators in the State held at the Multipurpose Hall, Cabinet office Abakaliki on 11th May, 2020, the following resolutions were made:

1.That the stakeholders of the various transport operators in Ebonyi State appreciates the state government for her people-oriented policies and programmes which has impacted positively on the lives of all and sundry. We therefore unreservedly thank the Governor of Ebonyi State for the proactive measures so far formulated to curtail the spread of Covid-19 in the state and pledge our total commitment in partnering him to win the war against this global pandemic.

2.That any vehicle, tricycle, or motorcycle caught while attempting to cross the border should be charged to the Anti Covid court with immediate effect.


3.That there should be a total overhaul of the security personnel at the borders in order to fish out the few bad eggs who aid travellers to cross our borders.

4.That all vehicles both at the borders and the central park in the state must be profiled with manifest in order to track the records of all passengers.


5.That we urge the SA on Parks Development to form a formidable Task Force to man the borders and the central park so as to ensure strict compliance with the precautionary measures adopted by the State government.

6.That no commercial vehicle is allowed to move straight into the International Market without first being profiled the designated park opposite the International Market. This is because some unscrupulous commuters have deployed a means of smuggling passengers into the under the guise of carrying essential commodities.

An irreparable lost by Comr. Arinze Okolobu

We missed you My Lord Bishop

Valeat Dominus Meus!!!

As we fondly call the Late Arch Bishop Albert Kanene Obiefuna, (My Lord) we children as pupils and Mass Servants can't forget your pious Aaronic lifestyle those days  when Tomapep Tin Tomatoes was in existence.

During your selfless service in the vineyard of Christ in Awka beanyi,  your service brought Divine Tranquillity & Peace in Awka.  Your pastoral engagements in St Patrick Cathedral Awka and the diocese made Pagans and Atheists to give their life to Christ then, i remembered vividly how you visits the Poor in their homes and give them food, how about many broken marriages you resuscitated, how about many indigents you gave scholarship, I can't forget how you kill Cows,  cook Jellof Rice for we Pupils then on every St Patrick Feast days.

I also remembered how you resolved various imbroglio in Awka like, OKUKO ONYE UWA, Land disputes between Communities, Building homes for the Poor, the Girl Child inequality etc. with nostalgia, you were truly a shadow of Jesus Christ while you served as Bishop in Awka.
Some of those you groomed then in the vineyard like Rev Peter Okpalaeke is today a Bishop.

What a legacy as GOD used you to erect Ragina Caeli Hospital, CANA House through CWO,  the foundation of St. Patrick's New Cathedral, Retreat Center Okpuno, various parishes etc. How about Late Rev Fr Aaron Ekwu you used to propagate the Acts of Charity  then, today those legacy you consolidated has lifted the diocese to greater heights irrespective of some Dogmatic challenges facing them today, i know if you were alive today, such misdemeanor must have metamorphosed to a peaceful reunion of the people and the Laity.

This is your 9th year you left this world, may the GOD of Creation, continue to bless you with divine Peace in the bosom of Christ.

We miss you (My Lord) Bishop Obiefuna, you are a Gift from Oraukwu, in Idemmili North to humanity and the Church.

We missed a Bishop, that does not segregate but carries Everyone along.

Reminisce from Awka

The Roman Catholic Church and their trending act worthy of citing: Read below;

The Catholic Church is trending on Twitter and here’s why

There are certain ideas many people have about the Catholic Church, but one of these ideas that are less talked about and not very visible are their numerous acts of kindness and impact on society. 

The Catholic Church, as we know it, is not like some regular churches, with steep protocols and conservative ideas, the Catholic Church has for hundreds of years, been at the forefront in aiding positive causes and issues.

The Federal Government recently announced that the Church (Catholic Mission) is donating all its 425 hospitals and clinics in Nigeria to the government as isolation centers to help in the fight against COVID-19. 

While the church has little or no social presence, a gesture as such can’t go unnoticed.

And of course, a gesture like this will always draw the attention of Nigerians, and while what the church has done is very laudable, many people will still find ways to air their views in contrast to what has been done. Some Twitter users commended the church but expectedly, others still hold contrary opinions to the kind gesture. There are quite a few other Christian groups who have supported the fight against the COVID-19, donating church auditoria, buildings and facilities to aid the government in controlling the spread, while others are against the government on certain terms. A few pastors still think that the best option is to keep churches open so as to “heal the sick.”

While other men of God are helping in the fight against the spread of coronavirus in the country, helping the lives of their members by supporting them financially, other men of God still are of the opinion that the government needs to remove the restriction placed on public gatherings as it affects churches. Other Twitter users are calling on churches who own schools and universities to donate their facilities to the government just like the Catholic Church had done.

Another angle to why the Catholic church is trending on Twitter are the zealots who are of the opinion that the church is a model to many other Christian denominations globally. Yes, the church may have been the first, but just like the Catholic Church, other churches have in one way or another contributed to the affairs of the country. Living up to the standards of true religion according to James 1:27’s definition of what pure religion looks like.

Although the news of the Catholic church’s donation did not come as a shock to many, the way it was perceived by both Catholics and non-Catholics alike is a sign of hope for Nigerians who are hoping for the best out of Nigerians and for Nigerians.

It most importantly also confirms the philosophy that faith-based institutions can not be pushed aside in the quest to build a country of pride that works for everyone.
