“Life is cheaper
than Salt” – Says Nigerian Catholic Bishop
The Catholic
Bishop of the Boko Haram-infested Maiduguri diocese, Nigeria, Most Rev. Oliver
Doeme has described life as a commodity cheaper than salt which was formely
believed to be the cheapest commodity in the market. He made this remark in a
report submitted in October 2014 to the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria and
to Aid to the Church in Need, a
charity organization helping him to rebuild vandalized churches in his diocese
and take care of thousands of displaced persons. In that report, he also
lamented on the failure of the Nigerian government to effectively counter the
Boko Haram insurgents, saying that human life is being devalued.
