Must Read: How Many Christians Are Creating Problems In Nigeria by maclatunji: 11:47am On Jan 16, 2017 |
The controversy over the retirement of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A. Adeboye is just about settling down right now. However, there are several points to note and draw from the episode that show how many Christians in Nigeria (not all) have become such a big problem to themselves and the country as a whole. Immediately it emerged that Pastor Adeboye was retiring based on a government agency's directive namely the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, social media and the electronic media- radio and television in particular were flooded with all sorts of claims about how the country's Muslim President, Muhammadu Buhari was 'fighting the church', 'trying to Islamize Nigeria (their favourite chant)' and so on and so forth. None of these self-righteous sanctimonious hypocrites bothered to check how or why the policy was implemented. This went on for about 4 days until news broke that a certain Jim Obazee as head of the FRC had defied Presidential directives on the policy that affected the RCCG leader, then there was silence. So, this is how to be a Christian? Slander people and lie about issues when it is convenient for you and when the truth comes out keep silent because it does not 'favour you'? Yes, Nigeria has many problems of religious tensions and unnecessary violence. However, these dubious traits of too many Christians is a major source of the conflict. It is Christians that are seeking to wipe-out anything that they perceive to be related to Islam in our national life, like removal of Arabic script from the naira under Christian President Jonathan based on the prompting of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor-led Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) or the totally unnecessary campaign against the introduction of Islamic banking in Nigeria which ironically many Christians now benefit from and which is an accepted form of banking across the world regardless of the religion practised in those countries and the attacks by Christian teachers on Muslim girls wearing hijab to school or even to write GCE and JAMB examinations! The faster, Christian leaders and their followers begin to act more in line with what they claim is in the Bible and see as Jesus' (Peace Be Upon Him) teachings, the better for them and the peace of Nigeria. The shameful lack of integrity and forthrightness they have been showing in recent years do no one any favours and do not promote the peace which they want us to believe they uphold. The tensions and killings will fizzle out when we address the real issues of apprehending criminals under any name they may call themselves from Boko Haram to Nigerdelta militants to cattle herdsmen/rearers to ethnic militia to armed robbers and Kidnappers. However, if leaders continue to think they can use these negative elements in society to blackmail or rubbish people of other faiths and tribes, they are almost as guilty as these criminals in being complicit in the crimes they commit. 17 Likes 7 Shares |

See what religion has turned you into.. You are busy nurturing this monstrous thoughts on how to allocate some blame to Christians over the numerous evil deeds by Muslims. I don't blame you, I only blame Christians with their foolish, 'turn the other cheek belief' after a slap... Continue rumbling about until you are able to smell your own anus.. 19 Likes 2 Shares

I hate to dabble into religious crises but I think the Op is a hypocrite. Not until the Op tells me his stand on the religious cleansing of Christians by Muslims in southern kaduna, then he's a certified hypocrite 24 Likes 2 Shares |

maclatunji: I am a Christian, but you are seriously speaking the truth. Our so called Christian in power will keep mute when they are bidding for what will favour them materially and forget about what will affect Christianity. This very law was signed by our so called Christian president GEJ, nobody talk about it then but they are very active to crucified Buhari now, and keep mute when the whole truth came out. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Mods please move this piece of dirt to 'religion' or 'islam' board/section.. It's share stupidity for anyone to believe even in the face of Buhari tyranny that any of his stooges would act without being instructed.. Even Buhari himself takes instructions from the "Aso-Rock Cabals" ...ask Aisha! 6 Likes

Don't bother with any retort, u r known all around the world so it's not a Nigerian thing. Scum of the earth. 16 Likes 1 Share |

BeClever:pls kindly open your Bible to first Samuel chapter 15 verse 3 and read what is written there. And as for d 2 verses u coated, u Ave totally interpreted it and used out of context. The verses are referring to time of war between d Muslim community and non believers. During war u don't spare ur enemy who also intends to kill u. But if there is no war, Quran enjoins us to live peacefully with non Muslims. |

BeClever: Guy I don't blame you because its very hard for this Generation youth to think for ourselves, we only depends on what our useless politicians tells us. The law was made in 2011 yet your almighty Reno said your self acclaimed Hero does not sign it. When was the so called chairman appointed and by who? Was the so called Chairman a Muslim? And why no one talk about it when this was going on? The same way your Gej never instructed Dasuki to share money meant for Military weapons yet so many are returning the said loots. Guy, start to reason for yourself from an obvious reasons and stop worshiping all these useless politicians claiming born again Christians after loosing power. Your senseless Reno sat there in abroad and talk rubbish everyday and you sit down here to swallow it. The same way Obanikoro was boasting while he was in USA, latter came back to Nigeria and turn deaf and dumb when he was confronted with obvious evidence. Why is Obanikoro now paying back? Why are we not hearing from him again? Why is he now suing EFCC as he boasted while away? Why is Deziani never step on Nigeria since she ran out of country? Why is she not in court to defend $153b. You need to wake up and don't let those useless politician use you as a political tools in the name of religion 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Corrinthians: I am personally not unmindful of this, and I have also been told the same by other people. The problem is these kind of people you describe become 'leaders' among Christians in Nigeria and poison their followers from all tribes across the country. Some arguments we are getting from Christians in recent times never used to be made in the past and this is for the worse not the better. 5 Likes 1 Share |
