Helen Ukpabio Calls On Buhari To Apologies Over Boko Haram by MAYOWAAK: 8:48pm On Sep 11, 2011
Lady Apostle Helen Ukpabio, the founder of the Liberty Gospel Church, has called on General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, to apologise to Nigerians over the bombings and killings by the Boko Haram sect in northern Nigeria.


Apostle Ukpabio, who was speaking during an interactive session with journalists organised by the Calabar Christian Leaders to react to the spate of bombings in the country, said Buhari at the peak of the April 2011election campaign did threaten that Nigeria would be ungovernable if he fails win the presidential election.

“ I watched Buhari on television and on radio during the April election threaten that there would be trouble in Nigeria if he did not win. Even when he did not come here and several parts of the country to campaign, he still felt he had what it takes to become president and that threat is manifesting today.

“We should on that score hold him responsible for the violence. If you have forgotten, I have not forgotten; he should apologise to Nigerians,” she said.

Ukpabio, who is also famous for producing Nollywood films and videos, said Christians have the capacity for violence but they are being constrained by their faith which preaches love but when the violence by the Boko Haram is always directly targeted at them, they would have no choice but to react.

“In our Bible, we are admonished to protect our faith even with our blood, but we are constrained to walk always in love but that should not be taken for granted because the Bible also says in the time of John the Baptist, the kingdom suffereth violence and the violent take it by force ”.

Bishop Josef Bassey of God’s Heritage, who read the speech of the leaders, said the Sultan of Sokoto, who is the head of Islam in Nigeria should call on the Boko Haram who are his Muslim brethren to stop the violence in the northern part of the state.

“We in Christianity have authorities we respect and that also goes for the Muslim. He and their head should call on them to stop the killing of innocent people”.

He said it was time for National Conference to be convened to determine the future of the country rather than resort to anarchy.

“In a state of war, the constitution of the country and the rule of law are suspended and rather than get to that state, we should convene a National Conference to determine the future of our country, any state that wants Sharia can be governed by Sharia law while any that prefers Cannon law can have same.”

The Christian Leaders who also condemned the destruction of property in the University of Calabar attributed it also to the handiwork of agents of Boko Haram.

“They have been threatening to come down here and the fact that the destruction took place the same day with the bombing of the United Nations building took place shows it is not a coincidence but a plan hatched a long time ago,” Bishop Bassey said.

He warned that any further attack on the city of Calabar that is noted for peace would not be taken lightly while concluding that the last word has not been heard from the Christians should the bombings continue.

“Violence is not the preserve of any community or religion, if these acts continue, we would react and very soon”. The Bishop concluded

What is the difference between that witch, Helen Ukpabio and boko haram? That woman should be stoned to death, Nigeria's greatest problem is religion.
She and Buhari are the same sort of evil creature.

What is wrong with this woman? So many of her inflammatory and provocative statements are uncalled for. The part of her speech that makes sense to me, which is not easy to realize, is the call for a National Conference.

HOUSTON — At home in Nigeria, the Pentecostal preacher Helen Ukpabio draws thousands to her revival meetings. Last August, when she had herself consecrated Christendom’s first “lady apostle,” Nigerian politicians and Nollywood actors attended the ceremony. Her books and DVDs, which explain how Satan possesses children, are widely known.

So well-known, in fact, that Ms. Ukpabio’s critics say her teachings have contributed to the torture or abandonment of thousands of Nigerian children — including infants and toddlers — suspected of being witches and warlocks. Her culpability is a central contention of “Saving Africa’s Witch Children,” a documentary that will make its American debut Wednesday on HBO2.

So this woman is still walking about freely and is also allowed to be given a voice for her demonic opinions? Doesn't she have a child's head to be caving in or a mother to be convincing that her child is a witch?
Re: Helen Ukpabio Calls On Buhari To Apologies Over Boko Haram by egift(m): 9:41pm On Sep 11, 2011
Helen, on what ground are you asking for apologies - Is that you have evidence Buhari is the head of Boko Haram or because Jonathan is your brother?

IF 2 PEOPLE QUARREL, AND ONE PERSON OPENLY THREATENS TO DEAL WITH THE OTHER, AND THE NEXT DAY THE PERSON THREATENED IS FOUND DEAD , ASSASINATED , WONT THE POLICE INVITE THE PERSON WHO MADE THE THREAT FOR INTEROGATIONS ?

BUHARI AND ATIKU THREATENED NIGERIA, AND THE BOMBS ARE GOING OFF- WHY HAVEN'T THE SSS INVITED OR DETAINED ANY OF THEM FOR THEIR THREAT ? THATS THE CORRUPTION WE FACE TODAY .

Can anyone provide a link to where Buhari said this? If he really did that beside his emotional instigation by crying why haven't the authorities invited him for questioning yet?  Appologising is not enough.  The person I know who made that statement was another northerner not Buhari but I await further information. Meanwhile OP should edit his topic to reflect the verb form of apology.
Re: Helen Ukpabio Calls On Buhari To Apologies Over Boko Haram by egift(m): 11:29pm On Sep 11, 2011
Sadly, these PDP apologists are never bold enough to demand apologies from their party members and the like of Atiku, who promised hell if the party do not follow the zoning they all agreed on.

Now every chicken-feed will open up to demonize the name and person of Buhari just because of "he lost election to my brother".
Re: Helen Ukpabio Calls On Buhari To Apologies Over Boko Haram by Relax101(m): 12:08am On Sep 12, 2011
Buhari made the statement. He's an indirect mentor of boko haram. As for the woman she should be cooling off in jail.

I'm not supporting anybody until someone refutes the allegation that Boko Haram destroyed properties at UNICAL.

The Helen woman is not qualified to accuse anybody of anything, but who did this:

I'm not comfortable with this thread turning into a Helen Ukpabio thread.

This is about Buhari's threat before the elections, and what we are seeing today.

Folks shouldn't spin the issue out of focus.
Re: Helen Ukpabio Calls On Buhari To Apologies Over Boko Haram by moderatorr: 1:57am On Sep 12, 2011
GEJ cannot arrest buhari now because it may be sparking a civil war! He maybe able to do that in 2014.

I thought it was Atiku Abubakar that made threats before the elections.

Or are we talking about another threat?

"Those who make peaceful change impossible, will make violent change inevitable"

^ Atiku said that right?

Re: Helen Ukpabio Calls On Buhari To Apologies Over Boko Haram by Nobody: 2:11am On Sep 12, 2011
Buhari never said any such thing.

Atiku however did.

Buhari has a proven trackrecord of quenching religious extremism as Head of state in 1984/85

02 March 1984 – ITN NEWS
[size=18pt]GENERAL BUHARI VISITS YOLA AFTER QUENCHING RELIGIOUS RIOTING THAT LEFT DOZENS DEAD.[/size]

Nigeria's military ruler, Major-General Mohamed Buhari, visited the northeastern Nigerian city of Yola - in Gongola state - February 29 to assess the extent of damage caused by violent communal rioting two days earlier.

The known death toll from the religious disturbances is nearly 140, with at least another 60 persons injured, some critically. Gongola's acting state governor, Colonel Cyril Iweze, blamed the turmoil on fanatical followers of Moslem fundamentalist Muhammadu Marwa Maitatsine's religious sect. Marwa himself was killed in vicious rioting three years ago, when an estimated 4,000 people died.

In disturbances on February 27, the army was eventually called in to quell resistance from thousands of religious fanatics, at least 715 of whom were arrested by security forces.

General Buhari visited the Yola Specialist Hospital during his one-day tour of the gutted city, and also met with the Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Mustapha Aliyu, to discuss the situation.

Actually he did. He threatened that Nigeria would be ungovernable if anyone rigged elections.
Well, that translated to if he loses.
And here we are.

For those PDP appologists like Ukpabio, they wish just by witchcraft magic - all the problems of Nigeria Jonathan is confused in address can be blamed on someone else.
