I don't think she's a Christian, if she's a real Christian she won't organise a program that tends to bring up protest and negative views about the conference.

its about time Nigerians understudy witches and wizard rather than deny their existence


as for the Christian hypocrites, wike already declared Rivers state a christian state, why not migrate there and let people be and enjoy their nature




Witchcraft is not nature it's demon possession. However, I support that witches should be allowed to express themselves positively. It is only on youtube that I have seen witches coming boldly to say that they are witches,and they are non Africans. I am a Christian but most of the people we call men of God have demons and they are casting out other demons. If witches are allowed to come out and say who they are we will see that there are more witches than non witches. Witches are not only people that fly. All agents of the dark world are witches. Shalom!

IgbereTV reports that despite the cancellation of the booked venue for a witchcraft conference to be held in Enugu state, the organisers insist that they are proceeding as planned and will announce a new venue soon. Director of the B.I.C Ijomah Centre for Policy Studies and Research, Professor Egodi Uchendu, made this news available to IgbereTV. He said that the protest and campaign by the Christian Association of Nigeria and Christian students in the University of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka will not deter them from holding the academic conference. “Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right. CAN and others are free to express their opinions just like we have the freedom to have an academic conference on witchcraft”, Mrs Uchendu, a professor of history said. “I’m delighted that the conference is generating the debate it should across the nation. Nigerians should look critically into the subject of the conference and identify how it’s impeding our national existence and personal experience”. She absolved the UNN of blame for the cancellation of the booking for Energy Centre, as venue for the conference, billed to begin 26 November.

She said the centre is owned by the Federal Government and is domiciled in the UNN. Prof Uchendu said; “UNN DID NOT deny us use of Energy Centre. Energy Centre did. Energy Centre is a Federal organ domiciled in UNN. It’s not controlled by UNN. Their decision to deny us their venue may not even be known to UNN”. The conference on witchcraft has generated controversy since it was announced that it would take place in UNN Nsukka.

Students, believing that witches and wizards would descend on UNN, during the conference, printed posters decrying the plan. They were joined by the Christian Association of Nigeria, which escalated the opposition and urged Christians in the South East zone to embark on prayers to dissuade the organisers from holding the conference. Chairman of CAN in the South-East zone, Bishop Dr Goddy Okafor demanded that the programme be called off immediately. Okafor said; “I call on all Heads of Blocks, State Chairmen and other Stakeholders of Christian Association of Nigeria South-East Zone to take up aggressive prayers against the planned convention of Witches and Wizards slated to hold on November 26 at UNN. “This convention is not of God and must not hold in Jesus name. Exodus 22:18 says, ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live’. “I hereby direct, all Christian Churches in South East of Nigeria to take up lamentation and pray against this evil movement in all our churches this coming Sunday. “I also call upon all Christian Campus Fellowship Groups and other Christian Students’ Associations to join in this effort and stand up for JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD against this evil development in South East Of NIGERIA.”

Is witchcraft a trade of the North? Are you in competition with the north? I just want to know the reason for the comparison.

Is witchcraft region-specific??! Is it a trade in the South??!...

This is not a comparison.... Rather, a pointer at the bias directed at a certain religion.

Witches and Wizards have

1. Freedom of religion
2. Freedom of speech
3. Freedom of movement
4. Freedom of association.

All you snowflake Christians should go sit somewhere and allow people do their stuff. Isnt that the Love Jesus preached?

And you are supposed to be a Mod. Referring to Christians as snowflakes shows how uncultured and and untamed you are . A Mod should be an epitome of standards required for a forum like this and not a parochial element.

I'm all for it... But, we both know they can never hold such a conference in any university in the far North.
They would probably have a far smaller audience. How is that relevant to the op anyway?

I personally don't see anything wrong with the conference. they want to educate the public about witchcraft, what they do, how they operate, how to fight the dark forces, etc
UNN students should imagine that Albus Dombuldore is going to give them a lecture in Hogwarts, and stop acting paranoid Lol

Nne, you got my point. UNN Lions and Lionesses ought know better. In the same vein, I am amazed at the fact that a number of people here are posting the same wrong insinuation . Its only a few understand actually knew its a proposed gathering of the academia to discuss ' Witches & Wizards'.

And all you bunch of Atheist MODs should stop your double standards.

With all respect to Muslims on the thread, if a Christian posts this your comment on say, a Muslim thread, you'll come for his head. Yet you're in haste to post this.

A group of people expressing their view in a civilised way should be the least of your problems.
