IYANGBALI: chisos!so he orisa man na notorious army robber before?kai christaindom and christains have suffered

jaybee3:

He owns a private jet not commercial Jet. Asside from the obvious implications (Taxation, circumventing normal airport protocols et al) surrounding the wrongful use of jets registered as private to be then used for commercial interest, Ignorance is simply not an excuse.

The Ayo dude is bleeped no matter what angle you might want to view this from

APContherun:
I'm a Catholic but loves Ayo Oritsejafor's approach to national issues. People must remember that apart from being a body of Christians CAN is also a socio political organisation the way National Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs NSCIA is and tbe president of CAN must be seen to be playing that role.
While not defending his involvement in the arms deal (that's if he truly is involved) Christians must support him as the voice of the Christians in Nigeria, The days of Onaiyekan and the Sunday Mbang are gone, CAN must be active, vibrant and if possible be aggressive for that is the only thing one friends from the other side understand.

John Onaiyekan, the favorite CAN spokes person of the islamist. There lies the problem.

kokoA: You can never compare the respect these bishops command worldwide with what you pastor gets in Nigeria.. Can El'rufai, GEJ or anybody in Nigeria address bishop Onaiyekan, Cardinal Okogie, bishop Akinola, bishop mba, etc like the way they address this current CAN president? No! This is because these men respect themselves and stay out of politics as much as possible, they only offer their words of advice when necessary and everybody (irrespective of religion) respect them. Unlike the current president who shamelessly announce to the whole world that he supports GEJ/PDP.. I'm a christian but I will speak my mind when I see wrong.

cr8v: When Muslims are becoming more ferocious by the day does it not make sense if Christians start thinking of ways to defend themselves. It's a pity that it's still the foolish Christians that will come here to criticize it And support the Boko APC coalition. The children of this world are indeed wiser. When Muslim acquired there's no one knows till date but bet me it's a fellow Christian that will first blow an alarm. Until ISIS resurrects in Nigeria and starts chasing Christians away will we know what we did to ourselves

Mintayo:
if there is gonna be a muslim take-over of Nigeria,its the catholic bishops are the ones that will sell Nigeria out. The way they kiss the"asses" of these muslims is very warrisome,and these muslims are not friendly,they are green snakes under the green grass!
In as much as i don't trust Oritsejafor,but i believe without CAN and probably him,christains would have seen the worst of muslims killings,but CAN has been working tiredlessly to prevent that to the minimum.
Concerning this allegation,i will not say anything until the truth comes out,as far as i am concern this maybe another muslim propaganda.

pendy79: nice, thought provoking, clear and unambiguous statement by the sound mallam unlike the stupid, childish, vile and despicable story by the director of national issues of CAN who assumes he is the Personal Assistant of bling bling pastor.

The most honorable thing for the pastorprenuer is to step down as the president of CAN because Jonathan may use all the agencies of government and diplomatic channels to cover up for him, Nigerians know better and it is crystal clear this arm purchase is purely not for any security services cos we just took delivery of fighter jets and high caliber weapons from russia which followed due process and no public outcry was recorded

cococandy: While I'm not a fan of Ayo and his showy type of CAN leadership,if he says he rented the jet out and it can be confirmed that it was actually rented out,wouldn't it make sense to hold the actual people in possession of the jet at the time it was impounded so that they speak up on who they are working for.
Rather than assume that because he owns it,he must know what the renters did with it while they were renting it?

lincolnj88:
Sorry to say I am an anioma guy....
Igbos make up d larger percentage of catholics in nigeria....and d victims of bomb blasts nd church attacks in d country mainly are d catholics....so u can't solve insurgency by just praying nd eating communion every sunday.....
Insurgency is a political/religious problem , so u must involve in politics to get better protection of christian citizen in d country.......

The catholics went out on a crusade because spain ,macedonia ,jerusalem was conquered by islam nd dier churches burnt down... Is dis in d bible , is dis nt political now...
I really pity for northern xtian critising ayo ..u dnt have a clue abt islam

epospiky: Is this for real? *smh* This seems incredible. What does the CAN president have to do with nigerian politics. This could explain why he's mostly seen together with GEJ. A political christian leader! God save us.

omenka: This is a question all those delusional scavengers on this forum ought to answer!! This man is simply intelligent.

I hope the mods won't be shy to move this to the fp since they denied the other two threads revealing the scandal frontpage-ship but were so quick to move CAN's reply to the fp.

texazzpete:

This is a very naive point of view.

Oritsejafor is a Religious minister. There MUST be clauses to whatever purpose his Jet can be used for. Just like a devout Muslim will always advice his stockbroker not to invest his funds in alcohol or pork farms, so must a Christian Minister insist that rentals for activities that aren't above board be discouraged.

Unless you're telling me that the Church jet can be rented out to PlayBoy magazine to have mid-air orgies

2014PRESS RELEASE:CASH-LOADED JET AND WEAPONS DEAL: IT IS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST MUSLIMS  

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor was alleged to have admitted ownership of a private jet seized last weekend by South African authorities. The aircraft was stashed with $9.3 million in cash meant for arms purchase. In the same vein, the Federal Government (FG) issued a statement yesterday admitting ownership of the cash. Oritsejafor has sought to extenuate the deal by claiming that the jet was hired out by Eagle Air in which the pastor himself has “residual interest”. The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) is alarmed by this scandalous development. We have every reason to reject FG’s explanation and it is hereby rejected. Government is being economical with the truth. We suspect a grand conspiracy against Nigerian Muslims in this latest revelation. Nigerian Muslims are enveloped with apprehension. All the ingredients of a plot are here for those who care to look beyond their noses. In a country in which two religions are most prominent and are hot rivals of each other, here is the national leader of a religious group who also happens to be the president’s kinsman, an undisguised Muslim hater, a man with a belligerent disposition towards his Muslim neighbours, a man who has been threatening hell and brimstone over the Boko Haram saga. Tie this to the Israeli connection, a country well known for its anti-Muslim and mass murder propensities. It raises more questions than answers. For instance, was the intended arms purchase really meant for the Nigerian Armed Forces? What is the guaranty that it was not meant for Niger Delta militants, or Christian crusaders masquerading as Boko Haram? Afterall, under-the-table assistance for Boko Haram has been noticed in the past. Where did the arms and food drops for Boko Haram by helicopters come from? Only the Israelis are capable of doing that. MURIC is shocked by the huge amount involved: $9.3 million! Conservatively, $1m is N163m. $9.3m is therefore N1,514,502,583.61 at the current exchange rate of N163 to $1. It is very disturbing for this to be happening in a country bedeviled by serious security challenges bordering on religious rivalry and ethnic jingoism. There is definitely something sinister about all these. We assert that Nigerian Muslims are not safe any longer. We are not safe in the hands of Israeli military advisers breathing down the neck of the Nigerian government and encouraging it to arm the Christians to the teeth. The fate of Nigerian Muslims is therefore not certain. We have lost confidence in FG and its security agencies, particularly with the involvement of Israel. Islamic scholars are disappearing at will all over the country. Recruitment exercises into the security outfits favour Christians even in Muslim dominated areas. President Jonathan has just concluded a national conference whose composition was lopsided and in favour of Christians. FG relies heavily on Israel, a well-known anti-Muslim country for its security matters. Palpable fear of religious cleansing has therefore gripped Muslims. Whole Muslim communities are already being wiped out in the North East under the guise of ‘Boko Haram’. Just two months ago, 34 Muslims who were followers of Shaykh Ibrahim Alzakzaky were massacred by soldiers in Zaria and nothing has been heard of it. MURIC calls on the National Assembly to save Nigeria from total disintegration. This jet and cash story is a scandal of monumental proportion and it must not be swept under the carpet. The National Assembly must intervene in order to calm nerves. This is not the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob. It is the hand of President Jonathan and the voice of Oritsejafor. There is an unholy union here. An aircraft owned by a war-mongering and current national president of CAN, the cash is being claimed by a Christian-led, Muslim-repressing government, there is more to this than meets the eye. We are no longer safe. MURIC demands the termination of all security deals with the Israelis in Aso Rock, the seat of government. It is too dangerous to involve a country like Israel, an anti-Muslim country in the security matters of a country like Nigeria, deeply polarized by religious sentiments. Only a government with an anti-Muslim agenda will do such a thing. It is time for the Israelis to be kept at bay regarding key security issues in Nigeria. We advise President Jonathan to change his tactics, to integrate Muslims into his government, to stop the political marginalization of Muslims, to review the Christian-loaded recruitment into the security agencies, to probe the disappearance of Islamic scholars and the killing of Muslims in Zaria and to balance the sharing of the dividends of democracy between Christians and Muslims.  We warn that the lopsided recruitment into the security agencies, particularly the Nigerian Army in the past three years, smacks of a more sinister plot to systematically wipe out Nigerian Muslims through extra-judicial killings. We draw the attention of the international community to acts of pro-Christian favouritism and anti-Muslim practices of President Jonathan. The Nigerian leader is deliberately dividing his citizens along religious lines. MURIC affirms that it seeks peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims. We are prepared to live with our neighbours. We urge those fanning the embers of war and amassing weapons to remember the plight of Liberia, Congo, Sierra Leone, Bosnia Herzegovina, etc. The ravages of war, the sufferings of millions of innocent young and old are better imagined than experienced. Finally, we appeal to Muslims throughout Nigeria to allow the National Assembly to wade into the matter. Meanwhile, we charge them to remain calm and law-abiding.

kokoA: Why should CAN release a press statement on behalf of Oritsejiafor?

What has CAN got to do with the guy's private business?

Does the aircraft belong to CAN?

This pastor doesn't know the implications of what he is doing.. Nigeria is a very volatile country when it comes to religious issues.. This is a country where a cartoon painted in far away Denmark led to the killings of hundreds of innocent christians. Yet he brought in CAN into this issue to justify his own personal business activity.

Mr CAN president, speak for yourself! Do not drag Nigerian christians into your business.

meforyou1: this ishaq man must be very drunk. Let him call for the disintegration of this union that is not working let everybody go their separate ways.
North that doesn't contribute anything to the Nigerian economy except murder, looting, destruction and Islamic terrorism.
