My greetings to you I don't want you to be surprise by the call just because christians leaders and Government people are into each other they both works for themselves and that's what's holding us back as a nation until we make religion less important thing if not the country will remain stagnant forever.

since Catholic left CAN what I see now is nonsense

You are free to leave Christianity

The Spiritual Arm of PDP has once again made a distasteful decision that will be remembered by decent society as one of the events that mmarked the erosion of the moral authority of religious institutions in the country.

Yes sir zombie

Rivers is a pure Christian state but Kano must not be call a pure Muslim state.
CAN and Christians sha.... Wike Apostle of peace... Christianity and business sha you can't seperate them.

CHURCHES & POLITICS. Preacher man come around talking, ion wanna hear it keep walking

Peace or piece? CAN cann't be serious. :-

the bible said it."by their fruits we shall know them.
Rivers of Blood, that have been the bloodiest and most violent state, before, on, and after Elections.

and the Christian Association of Nigeria, left Calabar, Akwa Ibom, Jo's, Enugu, etc to offer the most peaceful governor Award.. to Wine, who was caught on tape, promising to kill people.

Christ Must be so ashamed of Nigerian Christians... we follow money and politicians in this Country and Not Christ Jesus.. shamelessly lot. #LoneProtester.

[quote author=Max24 post=53639733]
You people have woken up the sleeping giant - CAN. Happy that CAN is now playing the politics as it should. Gone are the days when Christians will be slaughtered anyhow and nothing will happen. They spend the christian south oil money but kill u for being a christian. #our mumu don do #.[/quote ]
#YourMumuDonDo

After paying hoodlums to behead two policemen on election duty. We dey watch how Wike became apostle of peace.

MORNDEW:
No wonder Christianity is constantly mocked. As in Wike apostle of peace. Even the devil will kick against this.

hahaha if Muslim talk, wuna go insult us. So lets keep quite and be watching you guys.

CAN made a wise business decisions

Business decision indeed.

CAN made a mistake on the apostle of a thing. But I support wike on the Christian court issue.

If we all follow the doctrines of our respective religions there would be no problem or clashes in the country.

The two holy books believed in equity then why the discriminatory behavior by the followers?
Anyway I believed Nigeria has never had a religious crises but political and ethnic crises. in Kano and Kaduna during the so called religious crises on the early 2000s and I can say they are not religious crises. The people doing the killings don't even know their religion, they are only out to steal from their unfortunate victims.
Also the politicians are just using the cover of religion to propel their political careers

ddippset:
This is preposterous. Why do these CAN people like to embarrass us Christians like this? They collect our offerings, they collect our tithes, they sell us to politicians. The same man caught on tape threatening to kill people, the same man telling people to write their wills, the same man telling gatherings that he will beat up Amaechi. Apostle of peace? Iam so ashamed to be a Christian right now.

one day, one day! Christians will wake up and realise the truth.

This man stands for everything bad in this country including corruption and murder and yet our so called can g8ve him stupid tittles. I don't blame them anyway. If they can pretend to enter a country under false pretense to buy weapons, what can't they do. I am beginning to think religion is the root of our problems in this country. If you commit the worst atrocities in this country, just pay a religious leader and you are as clean as a saint. God help us all

C.A.N. should stay away from all these politicians.

so many beans head won't like this. LMAO!!

Apostle of what? Archangel of violence would hav been apt, alongside his brother-in-arms, Rotimi Amaechi. Both hav murdered sleep in rivers state.
Are these CAN guys high on something or plain mischevous? Pray tell
Ecclesiastical courts? Wot for? Last time I checked, naija is a secular state. If Moslems wouldn't respect dat & go ahead to get their governors to collude with dem on d set up of sharia courts, Christians should exhibit the maturity dat avoids the temptation to get even. Why ecclesiastical/Christian courts? Why is religion making a mockery of itself in naija?

The governor said: "Other states have courts that handle their different religious issues. I want to reiterate that[b] Rivers State is purely a Christian State.[/b] Therefore, issues that affect Christians must be tackled in legal ways that promote peace".

Someone is declaring River state a Christian state now and no one is shouting christianization agenda. If it is other way round hypocrites will scream like idiot and fool.

Abi o..there I more peace in Anambra APGA, Ambode APC than any other state in Nigeria..Yet they gave it to Wike of all people..

Empty CAN

CAN is a certified political party!

Knew right from when Dbanj- Ayo oritsejafor, was there president.



An outright insult to the body and it's leadership.

Glaring why the catholics exempted themselves from the political platform disguised as a religious body.

Rivers is a pure Christian state but Kano must not be call a pure Muslim state.

Chai!!! Christianity and the body of Christ don suffer for the hands of these so called men of God. Imagine conferring such title on a known Ogboni man and blood thirsty person of Wike. Is it hidden that Wike is an Occultist and 99% of his cabinet members too.
With all the killings in Omoku,Ogoni land,Kalabari and Ikwerre land sponsored by this government,yet these religious rascals deem it fit to confer him with such title.

I'm not surprised after all the bling bling Orits did worse things during the era of that drunken master from the Niger Delta.

If you like insult me for saying the truth the way it is.

Dumb! in fact, really really dumb!!! Why can't they rather built environmental courts to arrest the black soot issues that is trending there of recent?
Did Jesus ask us to open any court on his behalf? I wonder why we always find new ways to create division among ourselves. What next, build markets for Christians only and register all Christian artisans for social security.

RSG to introduce Ecclesiastical Courts to handle purely Christian Matters

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has announced that the State Government will establish Ecclesiastical Courts to handle Christian matters across the state.

This is as the Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN) Rivers State performed the investiture of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike as the Rivers State "Apostle of Peace " for his commitment to peace and actions that have made Rivers State one of the most peaceful states in the country.

Addressing Christians at the Civic Centre, Port Harcourt on Saturday after his investiture as the "Apostle of Peace " during the Rivers State Peace Campaign organised by the Christian Association of Nigeria, Governor Wike informed that the State Government has already submitted the bill for the creation of the Ecclesiastical Courts to the Rivers State House of Assembly.

He noted that Ecclesiastical Courts will work alongside the Customary Courts to tackle issues directly affecting Christians in their daily lives.

The governor said: "Other states have courts that handle their different religious issues. I want to reiterate that Rivers State is purely a Christian State. Therefore, issues that affect Christians must be tackled in legal ways that promote peace".

He informed that the Rivers State House of Assembly has amended the relevant law that permits the State Government to give grants to churches to improve the facilities in their schools.

Rivers State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Most Rev Isaac Anyanasikike said that the State Peace Campaign is aimed at consolidating the gains of peace in the state.

He lauded Governor Wike for building peace across the state through his successful implementation of the State Amnesty Programme and his support for the security agencies.

Explaining the reason behind the award of the "Apostle of Peace " to Governor Wike, an official of Rivers CAN, Rev Dan Obinna declared that Governor Wike has transformed the state into one of the most peaceful states in the country.

He said though the governor inherited a state where insecurity reigned because the immediate past administration closed the courts for two years, incapacitated the Rivers State House of Assembly and destroyed the traditional rulers council.

He said immediately Governor Wike took over he reinstated the institutions of Government and started the process of empowerment which has improved peace in the state.

Highpoint of the event was the conferment on Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the award of the "Apostle of Peace " by the State Chairman of CAN, Most Rev Isaac Anyanasikike supported by the Methodist Archbishop of Bishop, Most Rev Sunday Agwu, Anglican Bishop of Evo Diocese, Most Rev Innocent Ordu and Pastor Ene Secondus.

Lion of obima,and fearless fellow,I salute you.

BOKO HARAM IS NOT ISLAMIC TEACHING AS STATED IN QUR'AN: Chapter (5) sūrat l-māidah (The Table spread with Food)
Sahih International : Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.
Pickthall : For that cause We decreed
for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had
saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old
with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.
Yusuf Ali : On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it befor murder or for spreading mischief
in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit
excesses in the land.
Shakir: For this reason did We
prescribe to the children of Israel that
whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as
though he kept alive all men; and
certainly Our messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even
after that many of them certainly act
extravagantly in the land.
Muhammad Sarwar: For this reason, We made it a law for the children of
Israel that the killing of a person for reasons other than legal retaliation or for stopping corruption in the land is
as great a sin as murdering all of
mankind. However, to save a life would be as great a virtue as to save all of mankind. Our Messengers had
come to them with clear authoritative
evidence but many of them (Israelites)
thereafter started doing wrong in the
land.
Mohsin Khan: Because of that We
ordained for the Children of Israel that
if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And
indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs,
evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed
the limits (e.g. by doing oppression
unjustly and exceeding beyond the
limits set by Allah by committing the major sins) in the land!
BUT IN BIBLE STATED AS FOLLOWS:
Parallel Verses
New International Version
Now go, attack the Amalekites
and totally destroy all that
belongs to them. Do not spare
them; put to death men and
women, children and infants,
cattle and sheep, camels and
donkeys.'"
King James Bible
Now go and smite Amalek,
and utterly destroy all that
they have, and spare them
not; but slay both man and
woman, infant and suckling,
ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Darby Bible Translation
Now go and smite Amalek,
and destroy utterly all that
they have, and spare them
not, but slay both man and
woman, infant and suckling,
ox and sheep, camel and ass.
World English Bible
Now go and strike Amalek,
and utterly destroy all that
they have, and don't spare
them; but kill both man and
woman, infant and nursing
baby, ox and sheep, camel
and donkey.'"
Young's Literal Translation
Now, go, and thou hast
smitten Amalek, and devoted
all that it hath, and thou hast
no pity on it, and hast put to
death from man unto woman,
from infant unto suckling,
from ox unto sheep, from
camel unto ass.'
