Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) yesterdaydisclosed that it was  considering sending a bill that would allow  every  adult to carry arms as a way of checking unwarranted attacks to the National  Assembly.

The  body also took a swipe at what it called the non-challant attitude of President Umaru Musa Yar Adua and Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to the violent  crisis in some parts of the North, asking  them to resign if they cannot proffer solutions to the problem.

Reviewing the religious crisis in Bauchi and the attendant death toll,   CAN  Secretary General,  Samuel S. Salifu , said at a news conference that it was passing a vote of no confidence on Yar'Adua and Jonathan  for their alleged inability to proffer solutions to the crisis.

CAN said it received the news of the killings in Bauchi over the weekend with deep pain and sorrow, adding that it was considering sending a bill to the National Assembly on gun ownership in the country.

“We met this morning and we are considering sending a bill to the National Assembly to facilitate adults who are twenty one years and above to make it legal to own arms and weapons.

“Everybody should buy his own gun, Right now,  as we are talking, they are still killing people in Bauchi. Where are the security people?" he said.

CAN said reports from  Bauchi State showed that about 11 Nigerians were burnt to death out of which six were christians while three were burnt beyond recognition. It said  12 churches and a mosque were burnt and several houses destroyed over the weekend in the mayhem. 

According to the CAN  scribe, “over the weekend and even today (yesterday), we got the reports on the killings and we tried to reach on phone one of the Special Advisers to the Governor by name Adamu, who assured us that the situation was under control but thereafter I asked him to call me back but he didn’t up till now. We also tried to reach the Vice President on the situation but could not.

“ What bothers us most is that the president and vice president of this country have the responsibility of providing security for the citizens, The perception there fore to CAN is that the President and the Vice are very weak in tackling the situation”.

Because if these things happens in other parts of the world, in whatever  form, you find the president coming out to address the country.

“This is not the first time we have been having this in this country. We had it during Shagari time, he was a muslim too, but he talked on it,  so we don’t know why our present president is dumb and is saying nothing. As Christians with options , we are expecting the president to come out and condemn this act as soon as possible. Life is sacred and it must be respected. If he finds it very difficult, himself and his vice and they are not intending to take responsibility, then they should resign."

This is quite interesting,

, think back to when Israel had their men of war.

The scriptures don't mention anything being sinful of having weapons.

Of course the scriptures also mention God fighting our battles for us.


I suppose to know 'when' he wants to fight through us or for us is the issue!

Some people think that people can no longer think thanks to Cable TV, Video games, music, and drugs/alcohol,
but I say : Yes We Can!
