I grew up under a highly disciplined parental guidance, which gave me my Christian background. My great grand-father had seven wives. By the time he became a Christian, he settled all the other six wives and wedded one. He gave birth to my grandfather who was also a Christian. He wedded my grandmother in church. He was looking for a Christian girl to marry and they showed him a girl in another town. In those days, people got married through match making. Then my grandfather had my father who wedded my mother in church. At some point, one of my cousins said he knew somebody from the family would rise so high. So a lot of these things prepared me. My educational background supported me for my work today in lieu of what I studied and how I focus on what I was doing. All along without my knowing, I was being shaped for what I am to deliver as far as life is concerned.

President of Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, recently paid a visit to the International Catholic Charity Aid to the Church in Need Organisation and spoke with the media on religious freedom, Boko Haram insurgency, Corruption, Chibok Girls and other matters affecting Nigeria.

Though it colonized Nigeria and can boast of decency and superior infrastructure in terms of social development to the extent of vilifying the country before the international community, Britain may have just been humbled by the candour and diplomatic finesse of a black leader over its provocative, uncultured, hard stance on Nigeria.

There is tension in many parts of the country over the rampaging herdsmen who have killed several thousand innocent Nigerians, raped and kidnapped others. They attack their victims in farms, homes, and along the way.

There are seemingly intensive lobbying and chess games among officers of the Nigeria Police over who becomes the next Inspector-General of Police, IGP. This is following expectations that the present Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase’s tenure will end in June, 2016.
