Any country that doesn't have freedom of speech in the internet age is a country held together by a weak glue that will erode and give way over time. It may be a long time, but it will happen.

trash. Who did the arsonists tell it was because of oyedepo's endorsement?and when did oyedepo endorse jonathan?and why now 6days later. Why didn't winners chapel release a statement instead of this interlopper, Are these people not tired of whipping up religious sentiments for the sake of politics?

Acidosis:
A branch of the Living Faith Church, popularly called the Winners Chapel, in Giwa, headquarters of Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has been set ablaze.

The church, founded by Bishop David Oyedepo, was reportedly set ablaze by two unidentified arsonists.

During the incident that happened on March 20, 2015 at about 2:30pm, nothing was saved from the church.

The burning of the church came a few months after the reported endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan by Oyedepo.

A terse statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by the President of Tarayyar Masihiyawan Nijeria (Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri Christians), General Ishaku Ahmed Dikko (rtd), and the Director of National Issues of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Sunny Oibe, entitled: “Presidential Elections 2015: Signs of what to expect,” called on security agencies to act fast to avoid violence in the area.

According to Dikko and Oibe, the Christians in the North, particularly the Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri speaking Christians, who are indigenous in these states and live within and among their kith and kin, “are in serious jeopardy”.

The statement reads in full: “Giwa is the Headquarters of Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State. On Friday, 20 March, 2015 at about 2:30 pm, two (2) unknown hoodlums on a motorcycle drove into the premises of Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) and set it ablaze.

“The Church was razed to the ground and nothing was saved from the Church including the building. This action surprised the Christian Community especially the Church members, as there was no tension or any sign of it between Christians and Muslims in the town.

“It is, however, a known fact that the people of the Local Government have not been friendly with the Christian Community even though over 90 percent of them are of the same Huasa-Fulani indigenes.

“The incident actually became more worrisome when no effort was made by a passersby to assist in putting out the fire. In fact, it was a Fulani herdsman that saw the fire and reported to the Police Station. Only one Policeman and a Christian volunteer that ran to the scene and attempted to put out the fire but of course could not achieve anything.

“This situation and the circumstances surrounding the incidence are a cause of serious concern. If this can happen more than a week to the Presidential Elections, what shall we expect during or after the elections? Is this a sign of what to expect or a dress rehearsal of a repeat of 2011 Post – Election Violence? This is a wakeup call to the Federal, State and Local Government Authorities,especially the Security Agencies.

I'm a Christian and a CAC member but sincerely we Christians have a way or provoking people into violence and we will start shouting. I'm not new to it because they practices it in my home. This is a general election for the country and not for any religious body to divide Nigeria. Why will CAN come out and tell us they are endorsing Jonathan and CAN south east saying they are supporting buhari. They are suppose to preach about God and not politicians. Sincerely any pastor who endorses a politician is suppose to be burnt because he is a scammed who lobbying for stolen money.

It is already happening and they said we shouldn't use soldiers. And when chaos erupts, they still blame the president for not handling the situation.
Why is it that buhari is so synonymous with violence. He has not caused anytin positive to happen in Nigeria. But goes about inciting people. Even our brothers in the south west have been radicalized. They now threaten everybody with a dissenting views.
Jonathan is the president and you can insult him and go to bed with your two eyes closed. To me, that is the height of democracy. Buhari is not yet the president and people are already afraid to criticize him. Online and offline, people are being threatened for supporting jonathan Believe me If this people get to power, they will gag the press and free speech. Political assasinations will return to our political culture.

After evaluating and observing the character of APC supporters. I came to categorize them thus...

1. The RADICALIZED(boko haram) supporters: this category of supporters are very violent, even with words. They attack anyone that Is against their candidate with so much verbal force you would wonder what they would have done if it was a physical interaction. This category represent a menace and a threat to our society. They would kill and cause mayhem in the name of buhari. I think the department of state security should be on the look out for them. They can be compared to the brainwashed boko haram terriorists in the north.

2. The moderate supporters: this category are less abusive. They attack the current government based on sectors they haven't really performed. Most in this category are very reasonable Nigerians. They are tired of 16 years of pdp and they simply want change. They want political change and forget structural change. Most simply want change for change sake.

3. The crowd mentality(follow-follow) supporters: the people in this category are just pathetic. They support buhari cos that seems to be the trend. They don't have a mind of their own and they have a poor grasp of thev real issues. They support buhari cos most of their friends, relatives e.t.c support buhari. You identify them by their posts and comments on nairaland. They simply don't understand anything. They just post stuffs like sai baba. Wemarchforbuhari and the likes. They just don't have anything to contribute.


Change my foot. I know true change when I see one.

No, it is Buhari and Tinubu (muslims) over ambition that has killed NIGERIA and NIGERIANS.

Burning a church in the name of politics is abominable. I hope the Christians in Kaduna will get ready to defend their families and fight any blood sucking urchin who tries to attack them.

APC will lose in Kaduna, El Rufai the bigot will fail in this election.

This message is directed to all peace loving Nigerians. There is something about that word "Sai-Buhari."


At the shout of that name; all sane Nigerians become insane, blood pressures rise; tentacles grow from the skull; and teeth begin to gnash!


Stay safe Nigerians! Sai Buhari is synonymous to VIOLENCE; wherever & whenever that name is called; what follows is VIOLENCE.

Nairaland was peaceful until we started seeing these words; Lagos was peaceful until "SAI BUHARI"

Do you even know the main activator of the 2011 post election violence? Fellow Nigerians, watch the video on YouTube and tell me what you hear!

We've seen people destroying banners and simultaneously chanting "SAI-BUHARI." That name give them the energy and tenacity to kill, steal and destroy.

"SAI-BUHARI" will result to loss of lives on Saturday, 28th. When you hear that name; grab your voter card and run for your dear life.

A re-election bid too costly
If President Jonathan could desperately spend so much money, because of a second term bid, then you can realise how powerful you are! How powerful is your right to vote! Your Permanent Voters card is very powerful! Vote out poverty and black out with your PVCs!
#6~ 7 Billion for Pastors
#50 million each for Obas (20) =1 Billion.
#150 million for OPC and MASSOB
#250 million for Nollywood celebrities and artistes.
#100 million for News agencies e.g (Media Houses)
#2 Billion for other political parties i.e YDM,PDM,APGA,La
bour party&accord party
#200 million for ethnic socio-political groups i.e
Afenifere, Ohaneze ndigbo, northern governor's forum.......
TOTAL: #9.7 Billion
Do you know how many roads this amount would construct
in Nigeria today?
Do you know how many good schools this amount would
have built?
Do you know how many Megawatts of electricity this
amount would have generated?
Do you know how much adequate security this amount
would have provided?
Do you know how many hungry people who live on less
than $1 per day in Nigeria this amount would have fed?
Do you know how much Employment this amount would
have generated?
Yet they bring it to you just so they can
bribe you to vote for them. Had they use the money for theA
right things that we can see they wouldn't need to bribe us
to vote for them!
