berem: because there was lightning on the St Peter basilica church, nairalanders are spewing trash! If this was to happen in Canaan Land,sango ota, they would say it is actually from God. That lightning you see there is no ordinary lightning believe it or not.
haha.
So you believe this 'lightening' trash.
No wonder your views in the political section are often shocking and mind-boggling.

In as much as this could make a good faith based story, the truth is the popes resignation was only announced yesterday but the decision has been made for quite a while. You think Cardinal Onaiyekan heard this yesterday?

Why in 2013 so many people believe someone has to be behind a camera to snap a picture? Even if the picture is real ... is it the first time lightning striking the building? And even if..how you figure it is a sign from God?.. and even if...is the sign good or bad? When good God sent manna....when bad as in Sodom and Gomorrah..He sent fire and brimstone...so if He now send lightning down on the pope hmmmm....hmmmm....go figure.

GOOD DAY earthlings...we are wat u refer to as Aliens from a distant galaxy, we have watched your planet from afar for many many years even before you all came to being and we have come to believe you seem brilliant to yourselves but you all are outright dumb and gullible, accepting whatever is fed to you all because you fear what might happen to you if you question it, the messages of your religion, your leaders, your society have made you all worse than your ancestors thousands of years before you and things like this have made us lost hope in unifying our race without yours. Since we don't want a corruption of our mindset and belief's by your forsaken kindred we are proceeding with the extermination phase....please initiate Extermination of the human race from the earth and proceed to occupation!

Greatken007: Na who b d person wen no say lightning wan happen wen he com wait snap am?On a serious note our basic physics made us to understant dat light travels faster than sound,hw comes dis snap shot(may b u no know d speed of light)lastly,Building of such should av ebonite rod 2 resist d effect of d lightning

Meaning you neither understand physics nor photography. How else do you think the thousands of lighting photos on the web were taken?


3ndy: no.. it it an unrelated picture existing since early 2000.. shame on you.
Thou shall not call or use the name of the almighty God in vain.

No you are very wrong,i read this on the Metro in London this morning,it was actually taken after he announced his intention to resign on the same day a few hours later!

Redmosquito: [b]
This is faker than fake!
Even the pic proves it. Lightning is one fast phenomenon. Wat are the chances of the guy actually pointing his camera at the dome and anticipating a strike.
Haaaaa! So dumb fake! I think the photographer is actually trying to insult our IQ.

I'm reading some comments and I've had to modify my post for more clarification.
Pope retires on monday, there is no news of a storm or anything like that.
If there was a storm on that same day, the whole would know, trust me, they would take it as a sign.
A man sets his camera idly in front of the dome on the day that the pope retired, no storm and anything. And he catches pic of a lightning strike.
First of all, why did he point his cam at the dome on that prticular day?
He is a vatican photographer, what is there that he has not snapped a million times.
Or was he anticipating a strike in a clear weather?
The whole thing is boxed up, like a pack of dumb lies.
Some say it was photographed, others say it was videod.
BBC uploads the video and another vatican photographer is claiming it?
Haaa! I need to chillax
[/b]

Another confused poster whether it's related to it or not is another matter. But it's not fake and it's also not difficult to snap lighting with an ordinary camera!

obicentlis: I Love my Church, The Holy Roman Catholic Church!
I love the Mother of the Church, The Blessed Mary, Ever Virgin!
I love Jesus, The Only true Son of God!
I love the Holy Spirit, the Teacher!
I love the Abba Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth.

You guys cannot stop amusing us here. So the Roman Church is now "Holy"? Eeehn! Alright. And Mary who had many children after Jesus is still a virgin to you. Hmn! She is also no longer the "Mother of God" but now the "Mother of the Church". I see! And Jesus has been confirmed as "The Only true Son of God", not "God The Son" anymore. Well we are learning. And Holy Spirit is "Mr Teacher". Ok o! And after talking about all the "important persons", you 'kindly' and 'wisely' remembered "Abba Father". You dey try for your "holy" church. More grease to your elbows.

Lightning bolt hit Vatican not once but TWICE hours after Pope's shock resignation

By Paul Cockerton  |  12 Feb 2013 12:58

Lightning struck the Vatican not once but TWICE - hours after Pope Benedict XVI's shock resignation.

The spooky moment, believed by some, to be a sign from God, was caught on camera by AFP photographer Filippo Monteforte.

Today he described how he took the incredible image which has been beamed all over the world.

He said: "I took the picture from St. Peter’s Square while sheltered by the columns. It was icy cold and raining sheets. When the storm started, I thought that lightning might strike the rod, so I decided it was worth seeing whether – if it DID strike – I could get the shot at exactly the right moment.”

Filippo, armed with a 50mm lens, waited for more than two hours and was rewarded for his patience with not one but two bolts.

He added: “The first bolt was huge and lit up the sky, but unfortunately I missed it. I had better luck the second time, and was able to snap a couple of images of the dome illuminated by the bolt.”  

The lightning touched the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, one of the holiest Catholic churches, after the Pope's shock admission he lacks strength to do the job.
