Nigeria is fast becoming a land flowing with Tears and Blood, because the reality of Terror, devastations, destructions and fear are evident. The troubles that come to people are like the earthquake, which was followed by a Tsunami with great destruction of lives and property. The aftermath is only ruins and fear for life. We live in very uncertain times, insecurity and devastations. Our people have lost their homes, livelihood, lives and property. We are constantly under attacks in our Nation, and in some parts of our Dioceses, churches have been destroyed, our members are kidnapped, some people are killed violently through sudden attacks by unidentified gunmen. The painful thing is that the dead are not counted and adequate recognition of the evil made.
