This is when Christianity/religion meets tradition. A heated debate has been sparked online after a masquerade was seen using the statue of Jesus Christ for his performance in the eastern part of the country. While some are of the opinion that this is an insult on the church for trying to desecrate its mode of worship, others are arguing that this is not Jesus Christ but just a statue.

Online users have reacted differently to this shocking development. See below;

That is not "Jesus"

Just an Art work

Ibo people

That's just a statue!! That's not Jesus. I am sure none of the people that makes these statues have set their eyes on Jesus or a picture of him.

That's not Jesus.

Lol! Someone said that showed how confused their people have gotten.
Well, At least we can all agree that Jesus never looked like that in the first place.

The difference is clear, Christians are not even doing anything violent unlike some who seeks Peace

Is just a statue.
I blame Okorostatue,people are being inspired by him to build different statues.

Okorostatue right now....

fpeter:
That's not the statue of Jesus, nobody has the image or picture of Jesus Christ, that is someone's impression.

Since it's not Jesus Christ I can do anything I want with it?

If you truly fear God, you will know that wooden image can never represent JESUS CHRIST. Those saying sacrilege should be careful of idolatry. God bless you all.

Haba...

True, that can never be Jesus but also, depictions of Prophet Mohammad can never be the prophet. But it would usually be enough to start a blood bath for the latter.

In nairaland, christianity is almost a curse, enough division and insult! But im really proud of the christian faith-that this story is circulating and nobody has being killed offline.

Shout out to christianity.

That nonsense isn't Jesus and can never be. Jesus is no more on the cross. So some Christians should try and put they head where it is

That's not JESUS
Neither is it HIS portrait

Ppl are saying that statue is not Jesus. I'm wondering where the Catholics are right now.

See una Jesus. Hahahaha

I will not be surprised if one day we wake up and Demn Nigeria has turned into statu including Buhari.

Only we Christians do take this shiit for nothing.
Rubbishhhhhhhhh!

The more religious people are is inversely proportional to how logical and how much common sense they'd have.
