WHY THE ABAKALIKI CATHOLIC DIOCESE SHOULD CONSIDER REJECTING UMAHI'S GIFT OF KING DAVID UNIVERSITY OF MEDICAL SCIENCE

Governor Umahi is like the proverbial witch rat. It bites your toe at night while blowing it cold so you don't feel the pain. Then you wake up with a deep sore in the morning realising you've nearly bled out. I will say this for the umpteenth time, Ebonyians will realise the much ruins that Umahi's government has caused the state when he's long gone. They will wake up to look for all the abstract and white elephant projects but they won't find any. The flyovers will turn to skeletons hanging in a museum. People would be scared to cross under them because the law of disuse would play out. Like an uninhabited house, it would wear, crack and tear, and God forbid, collapse. Lizards will occupy the ecumenical centre. Squirrels, grass cutters and pythons will bore holes at the international airport. Bats will inhabit The King David Umahi University of Medical Science. The tiles at the roundabouts will all scrape off and litter the roads, puncturing tires of careless commuters. Pipes underneath the concrete roads will burst and it will be hard to break the roads for repairs. There will be so much mess.
Whether you agree or not, the handing over of the controversial King David Umahi University of Medical Science to the Abakaliki Catholic Diocese is an attempt to lure the newly crowned bishop into a corrupt enclave and shut him up like that one who's no more. It's the way the devil tempts every perceived child of God. It makes him an irresistible but self-destructive offer. The Bible records how Satan promised to hand the world and everything in it to Jesus Christ if only he could bow down and worship him. Jesus said, "depart from me, Satan."
Would this humble son emulate his father, Jesus Christ? Would he reject the devil's offer? Sadly as always, it doesn't seem very likely, or easy to tell.
Flip it however you want, the Abakaliki Catholic Diocese has a lot already on her sleeves. The four missionary hospitals in the state are run by them. And I can tell you that it hasn't been a -cutting through the cake affair. Running a private medical school is obviously never the church's agenda at this time, or so I think. Accepting the offer will not only strain the Diocese beyond imaginable limits, but place her at an angle where failure might be inevitable. The reasons are many. Umahi simply built a castle which like the many others enables him pocket as much as he wants. Looking deeply into what it takes run a university, a medical one in that regard, one would find out that Umahi hadn't met upto 30% of what it takes a university to function. How can the diocese handle the remaining over 70% in a poor state like ours? Is it through 4 offering sessions per Mass? Or through donations? Or what? Perhaps the new Bishop would decide. I'm just wondering.<"this link will take you to the main blog">

It is a known fact that education is a necessary key to success in life. Its availability gives everyone equal opportunity to succeed in life. Some of the goals of education are to teach cultural literacy and to help people become critical thinkers.

Its philosophy is based on building a sound and effective citizenry and the provision of equal opportunities for all citizens at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels, both inside and outside the formal school system. Education of women were frownedat by many people in the past. Women were meant to be seen, not to be heard; and their place was in the kitchen only. Unfortunately, some people still hold this ideology ignorantly or for some reasons.
