Defend Yourselves,Herdsmen,BH,More Powerful Than Nigerian Govt–CAN Tells Christians

President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Rev. Ayokunle Olasupo has lamented that herdsmen, Boko Haram and other militia groups appear to be more tactical than the country’s security agencies.

According to him, there was need for Christians to take up self-defence to survive in the country.


Olasupo, who doubles as the President of Nigerian Baptist Convention, NBC, further called on Christians, especially Baptists, to participate in politics, noting that Nigeria would only change when Christians take over leadership positions.

Olasupo spoke, weekend, at the Rivers Baptist Conference International Camp Ground, Ndele, in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, during a pre-convention briefing, as part of the events to mark the year’s annual meeting of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, entitled ‘Moving Forward, Building a Great Nation through Effective Christian Participation’.

The CAN boss said, “Lawyers have been speaking that the issue of self-defence is constitutional and also common sense, which may not be common, because if you see somebody coming with dangerous weapon to kill you and you say it is not constitutional to defend yourself, then you must be ready to lose your life.

“It is common sense that you defend yourself from danger that is coming; but if you think it is not good to defend yourself, goodluck.


“Don’t be naive. If these marauders appear to be more powerful than the government and they cannot save us from them, then we save ourselves.

“For about nine years now, these people have continued to kill and it appears like they have more guns and tactics than the security agents to be able to continue.

“How many of them have been arrested? How many of them prosecuted? Then if I allow them to take my life, I will be responsible for my foolishness.”

Olasupo said participation of Christians in politics was crucial, stressing that Nigeria was being governed by persons who do not have the fear of God and lack compassion and vision.

“You must rise to protect yourselves from these people; if you depend on the armed forces to protect you, you will all die”-TY Danjuma.


Good! Nehemiah & the Isrealites were working with one hand & having a weapon on guard in the other.
Enough of the stupidity of Christain humility in crisis while christain leaders goes about with heavy armed security agents protection.

So why is Kanu taken away...when he addressed Igbo unions in US, to arm them so they can defend themselves against the rampaging fulani militias?
