he compulsory prayers introduced by Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State for staff of the Government House in Jalingo last year has recorded some casualties as the governor yesterday ordered the suspension of three workers for failing to attend the prayers for a period of time in spite of repeated warnings.

 

Those affected are two female journalists attached to the Government House press crew, Deborah Jonathan of the state owned television outfit and Hilda Adebayo of the state radio. The third victim is the personal assistant to the Governor’s Special Adviser on Security, Ahmed Ben, whom the governor ordered to be transferred out of the Government House for the same reason.

 Suntai was said to have handed down the directive during the compulsory morning prayer session for Christians at the Government House Praise Chapel after going through the attendance registrar.

Ignorance. . . .

Is this true? Wonder o!

See Governor?

is this mandatory prayer to a specific god/religion or is this a moment for them to pray in thier own religion and in thier own way?

Why dis obeying if that is in the curriculum of the working code?
I am not suggesting the law is the best or not, rather concern about the "disobedience"

Is it by force to pray for the Gov., his family and nigeria?

Religion is seeping into all aspects of Nigerian life without limit. Not good.

Deluded muderfuckers.Illusions in the face of reality and people wonder why we are backward.

We are not getting it,we need to pray to ourselves for our existence,we are the gods,the devils,the angels,the demons,what we are is just our subjective imaginations,nothing is certain but consciousness.

Naija nd their over-bearing religious attitude.
Anyway, itz not our fault.
Na poverty cause am.

 

i was wondering why davidylan and co were missing from this thread -

then i just saw that the governor is a christian

if he had been a muslim our islamwatchnazis would be all over the thread and it would have grown to 40 pages 

There's clearly no shortage of religious bigots on both sides.

3 times a day during the working day, pray, for how long each time?

Religion is poisoning the Taraba State government; this time, it is the Christian type.

Morons.
.

Nigerians are just extreme with everything. is prayer meeting by force now?? according to which constitution or code? the stupid thing is if the workers decide to sue, the judicial system is just messed up and it will take years to rule on the case. why do we like to impose ourselves on others in this country?? its annoying 

Right on bro! In fact when I saw it was just 2 pages I guessed the gov must be christian. . . well whadoyouknow!. . .

these guys r unbelievable
i wonder what that guy has done 4 his state
and he is up nd about, forcing people to pray. . .in this modern day, some people still have that stone age mindset.
rubbish!

This governor is trying to set up the people. While they'll be closing their eyes, kneeling down & up and praying; he would be standing up and running with their money to the bank.
