Catholic priest kidnapped in Imo...seems abducting the annointed is becoming more lucrative

 Gunmen


So now , Jidenna would have to get a grip of himself and know that it is not only fair skinned people that get kidnapped. News coming to my desk says An Imo State Reverend father,  Francis Ugoo Egbebu, has been kidnapped by some hoodlums.


 This is not the first time it has happened and little is known as to why kidnappers are fast growing a penchant for kidnapping priests rather than the fair-skinned people our dear Jidenna had erroneously thought.Come to think of it, kidnappers may think that abducting men of God is  in fact more lucrative.


If you follow up my blog post, you perhaps did read the news about the Ekiti state priest that was kidnapped by gunmen. The kidnappers are demanding a ransom of 5million naira and the church has been devastated since the news of the kidnap got to them.

It is apparently not clear as to where the kidnapping took place. some say it happened in Owerri , others say it was Orlu, the community where he was serving. He was last seen Monday Morning.
Let us say our prayers fervently for the rescue of the priest.

Read the details at VANGUARD
Strong feelers from the Catholic Diocese of Orlu, where Rev. Fr. Egbebu is serving, indicated that the ever cheerful priest was last seen driving out of the Parish Monday morning.
Although it was not clear at press time, the exact location where the priest was picked up by the hoodlums, stories making the rounds however indicated that the kidnappers had made an initial contact with close relations of the priest and demanded N5 million ransom.

Is it correct to say I waybilled it to you? A few expressions you probably don't understand

I appreciate those who ensure that my bank account doesn't  get flooded with cockroaches😃. Anyway, let's get down to brass tacks. What is a waybill? a waybill is a list that contains  names of people and goods to be conveyed from one location to another. It is that book where you write your name before entering a bus. There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc. Waybill cannot be verbalised. I want to waybill some goods to you❌ If you are looking for a verb to replace  the erroneous 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use. 1. Freight (verb) transport (goods) in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft. "the metals had been freighted from the city".
