The Catholic Laity Council of Nigeria has released a press statement about the appalling disrespect meted out to His Eminence John Cardinal Onaiyekan by the brainless attack dogs of the presidency after the highly respectable bishop spoke truth to an incompetent delusional govt.
Protect Rufai by all means necessary. He is the only fearless and uncompromised journalist this country has.
He never fails to call out APC hypocrisy…
Thank you @ruffydfire
It is a shame that truth has become so politicised in Nigeria. Today, if you speak the truth about the suffering of ordinary Nigerians, you are quickly labelled partisan. That should concern every Nigerian.
Cardinal Onaiyekan was not speaking for Catholics alone. He was speaking for millions of Nigerians who bear the weight of the present realities. The Church has always stood with the poor, the vulnerable and those whose voices are ignored. That is her mission.
Mr. Bwala, your statement is very divisive and by reducing a moral intervention by the Catholic Bishops on behalf of millions of suffering Nigerians to mere politics, you have lost all sense of the sacred. Not every voice that challenges those in power is a political voice.
The Church does not exist to defend any government or opposition. She exists to proclaim the Gospel, defend human dignity, and remind those in authority that power is a trust to be exercised for the good of the people. When we dismiss every uncomfortable truth as politics, we lose not only our moral compass but also our sense of what is sacred.
Thank you but no thank you. It is an insult to John Cardinal Onaiyekan to put him side by side Adeboye. Catholic major seminarians are more sound than the latter. Please don't try this again 🙏🏾❤️.
The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of August is to pray for the evangelisation and the spread of the Gospel in cities and urban areas.
“We know that cities are called to be places of freedom and opportunity, but they can also become spaces of anonymity and isolation.
That's why today, we ask you, for a renewed gaze, able to discover, in urban life, fertile ground for proclaiming your Gospel.
Give us a creative and deep faith that doesn't remain in words, but becomes flesh through simple and loving gestures.
Make us a Church that goes forth, able to reach out to the peripheries, to console those who are lonely, and to sow fraternity and connection instead of giving in to indifference.”
A CATHOLIC PRIEST MURDERED IN AJAOKUTA
Fr. Samuel Opeyemi Ayetoro, a priest of Lokoja Diocese, Nigeria was murdered in Ajaokuta on July 29, 2026, after being stabbed multiple times. No priest should have to lay down his life in such violence while serving God's people. May his soul rest in peace, and may justice be done.

I love this video. It helps with my appreciation of comparative cultural contexts. However, how does one differentiate between humility and humble bragging relative to the Chinese approach to compliment?
There are books going into these shredders that exist nowhere else on Earth. Booksellers are watching last-surviving copies get bulk-ordered by anonymous buyers, spine-sliced by hydraulic machines, and pulped.
And here's the part that should make your skin crawl. The destruction is the legal strategy.
A federal judge ruled the whole pipeline is fair use for one reason. When Anthropic scanned a book and destroyed the original, one copy replaced another. Keep the paper after scanning and you're holding two copies, which puts you back in infringement territory.
Shredding the book is what makes it legal. Saving it is the crime.
The internal documents are worse. Anthropic's program had a codename, Project Panama, and a memo that said the goal was to "destructively scan all the books in the world." Another line instructed staff to keep it quiet because "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this."
They knew. They named it something boring on purpose.
And the hunger only grows from here. AI labs specifically want pre-2022 print because it's the last text on Earth guaranteed to be written by humans. Every year that pool shrinks and the bulk orders get bigger. Brokers now sell anonymous million-book purchases to whoever's next.
Five hundred years of surviving fires, wars, and floods. Ended by a hydraulic paper cutter in a warehouse, so a model that gets deprecated in 18 months can autocomplete your emails.
