Quotes

 * The Church in Africa is to stimulate "ecological conversion" through intensive education. She is to educate people in Africa to be more sensitive to the increasing disaster caused by environmental damage and the need to minimise it. All are to be made ever conscious that future generations have a right to live in an environment that is intact and healthy and to enjoy its resources.
 * - H. Exc. Mons. Lucius Iwejuru UGORJI, Bishop of Umuahia (NIGERIA) (6 October 2009) Press Office of the Holy See


 * Peace is the bedrock of development. There is no sustainable development without peace. Peace takes root when people are free from hunger, poverty, unemployment, oppression and exploitation. We have to work together to save our people from the prevailing scourge of violence and insecurity that have brought unimaginable grief, trauma and fear to our fellow citizens in the State. Consequently, I call on the gladiators in the State to shield their swords, for violence begets violence.
