Anglican Church Opposes Double Catholic Ticket In Enugu by EvilBrain1(m): 12:46pm On Dec 18, 2014 |
In a clear example of the kind of idïocy you get when you mix religion and politics with an ignorant parochial mentality, the Anglican church in Enugu is demanding that the post of deputy governor be zoned to one of its members. The Anglican archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province, Rt. Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma made this sënseless demand at a press briefing attended by 7 other Anglican bishops. Apparently, these people think that Enugu is a cake that Catholics and Anglicans get to divide among themselves. They think politicians are defined by their religion first and foremost, ahead of any other thing. It doesn't bother them that Pentecostals, Traditionalists, Atheists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Eckankar, Guru Maharaji followers and other religious groups don't have a candidate. Just that the Anglicans must have or else! The PDP and all other parties must change their primary procedures to accommodate the Anglicans. Because their unfounded beliefs are better than every other religion's unfounded beliefs. From the Daily Trust, via allafrica.com: Enugu — The Anglican Church in Enugu State has faulted alleged attempts by Governor Sullivan Chime to install Catholics as governor and deputy governor of the state next year. http://allafrica.com/stories/201412180898.html |

Nigerians need to stop with this nonsense. Before it was Obasanjo telling APC chose a christian to be Buhari's running mate. Then there's Buhari himself selecting "pastors" each time he runs as an apparent attempt to counter the PDP's "Muslim fanatic" smear campaign. There's CAN and their many shenanigans. There's zoning between Christians and Muslims in Kaduna. Plus dozens of similar cases at lower political levels all over the country. We all need to understand that when you become president (or governor or whatever) you are the president of everybody. You are not elected to represent just people from your village or state or religion or sect, you are elected to serve everybody. We need to keep this sectarian bullshit out of our politics. We have to demand that public servants park their religion outside when they come to work. If you are an Anglican from Enugu, you should think about writing to your bishop and Archbishop and tell them to STFU and stop embarrassing you. One of the reasons I'm living openly as an atheist is because I refuse to allow any religious clown claiming to represent me to make any such stupid statements on my behalf. I may just be one little drop of water, but I refuse to contribute to their dirty bucket. |
