     Rev. Fr Dr Collins Ojene,The founder of Madonna Mercy Family International and an official of Federal Polytechnic Okoh,an Onitsha Archdiocesan catholic priest has lamented the recent increase in the prize of foodstuffs, saying he experienced this kind if hunger when the Nigerian government issued land,sea and air blockades on the Biafrans, making them suffer severe hunger when there was nothing left to eat.
     In his words "The increase in the prize of foodstuffs is a sad experience as we only experienced a famine of this kind during the Biafran war, when we were still children.The war dried us of everything and about 40% of the War Victims died of hunger. People deserted their villages and went into the forests for hiding just tell me what they would eat there than dying in hunger."
     He went forward to inveigh against Christians of nowadays ,alleging they have forgotten God for earthly pleasure. Asking Why God will not also forget the people and purposefully let them suffer  bit.
    He also accentuated the ceaseless decrease in oil prize and the latest attacks on oil installations by the Niger Delta Avengers in the oil-rich region of the country.
