Militant Group Attacks Churches In Nigeria

26 Dec

A Nigerian gang have struck again- this time attacking two churches in the North of the country.

The Islamic group, known as Boko Haram gunned down the churches early on Tuesday morning. It is reported that at least 6 Christians were slaughtered as a result.

This is yet another attack on the Christian community this year. Boko Haram have been carrying out massacres in Northern Nigeria in a bid to impose sharia law on the state.

A series of killings also took place on Christmas day in central and Northern Nigeria last year, where around 44 people died.

The state continues to grieve while these militants run riot in the country, targeting innocent Christians.

Nigerian Bishops Concerned Over Mass Condom Handouts

19 Dec

Comdoms-360x340Bishops have expressed their concern over various foreign organisations and government agencies distributing condoms in bulk around the country.

The issue was raised by Rev. Gabriel Dunia, Health Committee Chairman of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria. Dunia commented that the action was a ploy to actualise ‘population management’ under the pretext of providing health care or reproductive health services to Nigerians.

Recent reports state that more than three million condoms have been obtained to be handed out at a Christmas Carnival in the village of Calabar by the Cross River State Agency for the Control of HIV and AIDS.
