Rt. Rev. David Onuoha, has expressed worry
over how deep corruption has eaten deep into
the country, as he says it is posing a serious
threat to our corporate existence as a nation.
The cleric said this in his address at the second
session of the seventh synod of the diocese held
at Saint Matthew's Church, Umuezeala Nsu,
Ehime Mbano local council area of Imo State.
"It is no longer news that our country sets a new
record on this every year and all efforts at
reducing the incidences of this national
embarrassment succeeded only in the breach,"
the bishop lamented.
"The issue is not these mind-boggling annual
revelations. What should disturb us as a nation
are the denials, the reb*ttals and deliberate
refusal to acknowledge an obvious fact".
Speaking further, Onuoha said: "What this
clearly indicates is that this nation and her
leaders are not in a hurry to fight this malaise.
That we are in a society where funds meant for
projects and services that will benefit all and
make for national growth are brazenly stolen by
a privileged few and still people from the same
society appear to quarrel with views of massive
corruption in Nigeria calls for a great concern."
He however advised Nigerians to pray for the
country and shun corruption always.
