The Archbishop of Abuja Catholic Arch-Diocese, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, Sunday urged the National Assembly to reconfirm the definition of marriage and not to waste energy deliberating on same-sèx marriage.

Onaiyekan made the call in Abuja, at the opening mass of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), titled 'Faith and Dignity for Human life'.

He said marriage, a concept of union between man and woman, was being compromised in so many places today, adding that it was brutal to try to change God’s order.

The cleric said: "I will like to advise our legislators not to waste their energy legislating on what is meaningless: same-sèx marriage.

The House of Representatives Committee on Police Affairs has criticised President Jonathan’s visit to the Police College Ikeja. The Chairman of the committee, Mr. Usman Kumo, described the President’s action as “meaningless.” Kumo stated that the visit might be counterproductive because Jonathan seemed to suggest that he was not aware of the dilapidated state of police formations and barracks in the country.

Kumo noted that whatever aim Jonathan wanted to achieve with the visit had been defeated, as “he simply displayed that he has not been in touch with what has been happening to the police.”

He added, “Who does not know that all police colleges in Nigeria are in a dilapidated state and uninhabitable?

“Why did he go to Lagos? Was it because a television station aired the poor state of affairs there.
