"What was offensive to the Presidency about Bishop Onaiyekan's speech was that it did not fit the narrative they wanted to control. The Catholic bishops have already made it clear that the statements presented were not just from them but were compiled from bishops across the country. For those saying they do not represent the views of many Nigerians, the Catholic Church has about 35 million followers in Nigeria, so they are very close to the average people."
— Ayo Mairo-Ese of Arise TV reacts to the recent visit of Catholic bishops to President Tinubu.
For this government to run a Muslim-Muslim ticket again is a disgrace to this nation and to Christians.
A government of propaganda, always pretending they don’t know what to do. I have been quiet for a long time, but the bubble is about to burst.
— Bishop David Oyedepo speaks.
After arriving in Asaba from Lagos to visit Newton Jibunoh’s museum and attending a few events in Onitsha, Peter Obi returned to Lagos to join his wife for two wedding celebrations yesterday.
So ECOWAS knew that Nigeria's 2023 election was rigged, yet they still rewarded President Tinubu with the chairmanship of the organization?
Now they are talking.
Why now?
What has changed?
If you knew from the beginning that Nigeria's election was rigged, why did you immediately hand over the chairmanship of ECOWAS to the same person who emerged from that election?
Why keep quiet then, only to start speaking now?
Clowns.

From the days of the military up till today, the Catholic bishops of Nigeria are renown and reputable for always speaking truth to power.
These are not men with wives,
You can’t use women to blackmail them.
These are not men with children,
You can’t kidnap their kids to blackmail them.
These are not men who want fame,
You can’t use the allure of celebrity to compromise them.
These are not men who chase money.
You can’t use the offer of bribes or dirty lucre to compromise them.
These are not men who seek material things. You can’t use private jets to make them bend or buy their conscience.
They are not Daddy GOs.
They don’t own church buildings.
They mostly have no property or assets. So you can’t use temptation of setting up human empires to compromise them.
These are noble men.
Not pulpit opportunists who turn the holy altar of God into a platform to rebrand satanic politicians.
May God bless these Catholic bishops for being the last voice of reason, the last hope of sanity and the last shred of conscience in a society full of depraved, compromised people who have sold their souls for dirty money.
Thank you, Cardinal John.
At a time when speaking truth to a vicious, evil, Pharaohic regime has become unfashionable, you chose courage over silence. You spoke with clarity, conviction, and without mincing words.
History will always remember those who refused to bow before power and instead stood firmly on the side of truth, justice, and the people.
To those who have never heard about Mr. Peter Obi’s performance as Governor of Anambra State,
just send this to them to listen 🎧
If you are not motivated by bigotry, you can go and verify the strides he made as Governor.
The oldest surviving photograph in the world was taken around 1826.
There's a photograph of Oba Nogbaisi, then Oba of Benin taken around 1897.
We have all seen photographs of Bishop Ajayi Crowther, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo ...
Heck there's a photograph of Fela's mum, a woman born in 1900..
YET
There is not ONE genuine photograph of the man who's Nigeria's President from his birth till well after his University days.
A man supposedly born in 1952.
Who is Tinubu?
Thank you, Catholic Bishops! Just like the biblical prophets who spoke hard truths to rulers, this is the standard we expect from spiritual leaders —not excuses like, “He has done his bit, you don’t expect him to put on khakis”.
Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie was another fiery voice under the PDP. Called out presidents and spoke the bitter truth to them. No one attacked him because he was acting in his place as a shepherd of the people.
But under Tinubu, no one must criticize his govt.
Nigerians, Tinubu has polluted our country enough!
The problem is not that Cardinal John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan spoke
The problem is that he spoke the truth
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Are we still pretending or we know the people that are allergic to the truth? 🤷🏿
