Discover Bishop Ukah and Archbishop Egbujor’s heartfelt appeal to tackle Nigeria’s growing insecurity, bloodshed, and its devastating impact on the country’s image and economy.
Urgent Call to Address Nigeria’s Security Crisis
OWERRI — Nigerian leaders have been urged to take immediate and strategic action to curb the growing insecurity, rampant bloodshed, and the shame it continues to bring upon the country.
The Bishop of the Jubilee Christian Centre Ministry Association, Rev. Udoka Ukah, made this appeal during a press briefing in Owerri ahead of his inauguration. He lamented the worsening state of security and the senseless loss of human lives, which he described as a grave concern and a tarnished reflection of Nigeria.
Security on Highways: A Growing Nightmare
Bishop Ukah emphasized that traveling on Nigeria’s highways has become a harrowing experience for citizens. He stressed that the country’s security crisis could be effectively tackled if all tribes and communities unite to confront the menace.
“Let’s not deny the obvious: insecurity has taken over our land. Traveling on our roads is a nightmare, and human lives are being wasted senselessly. Life seems to have lost its meaning,” Ukah said.
He continued:
“This disturbing reality is painting a very bad picture of our country. However, we can turn the tide if all tribes come together to combat this menace. Patriots still believe in the ability of both federal and state governments to tackle this issue, but success will only come with unity and collaboration across all geopolitical zones.”
Faith in Divine Intervention
The cleric urged Nigerians to turn back to God in prayer, seeking His mercy and intervention. He expressed optimism that the country’s challenges would end in praise if its citizens retreat from negative practices and embrace collective action for peace.
Archbishop Egbujor’s Perspective: The Economic Fallout of Insecurity
During the homily, Archbishop Benjamin Egbujor also appealed to the government to intensify its efforts against insecurity. He pointed out the devastating economic impact of the crisis:
“Insecurity has tarnished Nigeria’s image, scared away investors, and forced many talented individuals to leave the country,” Egbujor stated.
He revealed his own reluctance to stay in Nigeria due to the rampant insecurity, citing reports of attacks by unknown gunmen.
“It’s heartbreaking that businesses are folding up, and our best minds are fleeing the country. This is not the Nigeria we dreamed of. The government must find a permanent solution to this ugly situation to ensure people can safely return to their homes,” he added.
A Plea for Action
Both Bishop Ukah and Archbishop Egbujor highlighted the importance of unified efforts among leaders, citizens, and all tribes in Nigeria to address the security challenges plaguing the nation. They urged the government to adopt a proactive and collaborative approach to restore peace and dignity to the land.
