The Archbishop of the Province of the Niger and Bishop of Awka Diocese, Most Rev Alexander Chibuzo Ibezim, has blamed the deteriorating lifestyle of some young Nigerian girls on their activities on the social media.
Ibezim said social media has had more negative impact in the life of the Nigerian youths, especially young girls in the society, who he said engaged in various negative activities to the detriment of their moral life.
The archbishop stated these when he spoke at an event organised to mark the 2021 Mothering Sunday at the Cathedral Church of St. Faith in Awka, Anambra State, calling on mothers to seek spiritual solution by praying for the young generation.

The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, Most Rev Paulinus Ezeokafor, on Sunday, flagged-off 2021 Laity Week at St Mary’s Catholic Church, Awka, Anambra State capital.
Ezeokafor, in his homily, thanked the Catholic Laity Council of Nigeria for choosing the theme: “The Word Of God; Dependable Light And Hope Of Survival In Adversity” which he said was properly chosen as the present situation of the country is far from satisfactory as unemployment, banditry, kidnapping and Fulani/Farmers clashes has continued to characterise Nigerians daily life.
Bishop Ezeokafor urged people to join various parishes to be alive to the opportunities provided by this year’s 2021 Laity Week to mobilise and educate the laity as well as raise fund for the running of the Diocesan Laity Council so as to complete some ongoing project in the Diocese.
Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis, has urged Christians in Nigeria to stop being sectional, and take the moral high ground.
Pope Francis, who took a swipe at churches that had opposed the appointment of Most Rev. Peter Okpalaeke as Bishop on the basis of his dialect, urged Christian communities in the country to act as true followers of Jesus Christ by showing love to all.
The Pontiff said this while delivering the homily at a special mass to celebrate the first anniversary of the creation of the Ekwulobia Catholic diocese, weekend.
Represented by the Papal Nuncio to Nigeria, Archbishop Antonio Filipazzi, the Pope said, “While we acknowledge that the creation of the new diocese was necessitated as a result of the remarkable numerical growth of Awka Diocese in Anambra, we cannot remain silent about another fact, a non-positive fact that preceded the appointment of the first Bishop of Ekwulobia.
