Today’s Nigeria including Imo State is a fierce war zone full of desperate seekers for political power and the easy wealth associated with it. Seeking to be upright or to give moral direction in such a situation can only attract attacks and persecution from the violent and the deadly. If peace will ever come onto our land inordinate ambition must be checked and self-centred prayers stopped. May heavenly prayers of peace prevail among us. + Archbishop Anthony J.V. Obinna.
