With deep pain, anguish and outrage, we dedicate this special episode to Nigerian Catholics who were massacred when they gathered to celebrate Pentecost Mass at St Francis Church, Owo, Ondo State. This is a time for lamentation for Nigeria, a blessed land that has been turned into a killing field and a vast graveyard by irresponsible, insensitive, corrupt, and wicked office holders who neither love people nor fear God and who have destroyed Nigeria and produced and/or enabled the kind of inhuman Islamist young men who are terrorizing the land. We may never know those who committed this atrocity (because the law enforcement officers are often complicit in these crimes) and defied our land, but Nigerians know which religion and region continue to produce most of these 'unknown gun men.'  Nigerian Christians and church leaders are invited to declare a period of lamentation and mobilize for action against the kingdom of darkness that is engulfing Nigeria.
