Well said. I am of the same opinion with the consular general. Its good of him to clarify issues.
His response makes sense and portrays someone with a liberal mind set.
I have opened a thread with a very similar message saying we were born into the tribe and religion we were in and that most religion preaches dogma and total faith, hence, we mostly remain in the religion we were born into and could have easily been born into either faith.
This response is very important and should shape our mind set to be liberal and face our warrant with our creator.
Much as Islam answers all my quest, had I been born a christian, it would be difficult for someone to convince me of changing religion and I could have been born an ibo or hausa too.
I think the moral of this my story is to judge people based on their character rather than tribe or religion. I have met good ibos and bad yorubas and vise versa.

Fan indeed. This islam is a curse on the mind and an afliction to humanity. The world be a better place if someone had slit Muhammad's throat when he was thirty years old and maclatunji would have been an enlightened person.

shut your crap boy. seems you dont know what it means to represent a country as the consular general. for your information Gej has been building almanjiry schools for your almajiri brothers and children, not minding religion. with public fund, and he even took pictures with them in their soo called almajiri school. that should be the position of the consula general in a situation like this.


i hope the federal govt notices this and put it into consideration when appointing CONSULAR GENERAAASSS.

You can't drag me to e-fight with you. Raise up your thinking level, then we can talk.

Built2last: The only person to blame for all this sh.it happening is Lord Lugard and His girl friend for joining Light and darkness If not, this guy may have been Boko Haram ambassador to Afganistan. Has he Gone to see the families involved till now? Rubbish
Unfortunately the guy is representing you and Nigeria in general appointed by FG, how do you feel and why aren't you on that seat in order to avoid all these problems?

We need to watch our utterances.

Dude, youre so intolerant its unbelievable. People like you are who make me get out of character that I respond with insults on NL because of your illogical, aggressive and "me-is-all" way of doing things. Yes, I responded to a statement you made: BECAUSE THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM! Like, for real, get a grip. There are two sides to a story, the two sides match. Theres proof that he sent someone; both sides agree! Theres no proof that he stated he could never step into a Church because hes a Muslim, and no matter the amount of tantrums you display it will not validate the accusations against him. Short of bringing forth verbal/vocal evidence I take this as the typical Nigerian "exaggeration".

The Nigerian Consulate staff are callous, yes, I've witnessed them in action when I went to apply for a visa. But, you have to look at it from the point of: WHAT ARE THE DUTIES OF A CONSULAR OFFICER?

Now, stop sulking and start getting logical, youre too grown for these childish tantrums.

Geez....
So the insults are not part of yr character?....good to know

You guys should learn how to read and understand. He says he can't attend a church service but has attended different events(weddings, birthdays) that have taken place in a church.
Am really impressed with the way
you reason.I just hope others can remove that hatred they have for muslims before commenting.Am not suprised though,since they also do the same to their fellow christaings too.I read a thread yesterday about a guy seeking advice on changing his church from Winners chapel to Catholic.I was so amazed at the level of insult and unimaginable words directed at this guy and the Catholic church.If this can happen within christains,how much more btw. christains and muslims whom they have tagged as their sworn enemy.Anything the muslims do is deemed bad and evil.

Well, the response so far on this trend is not strange but I will always say this "LET US STOP BEEN BIAS". Their is a word called designation and its worldly acceptable. If it is the other way round, the response would be "what is he going to do in the evil cor vine". Now he is been insulted for not attending the church service. We should stop this mentality or else we wont be any better than the BH guys who destroy violently and we destroy mentally which is even worse.

That is the point. If their terror would not make me say it does not invalidate those statements. I would have no hesitation saying so about Jesus in front of Christians if I believe same to be true. Islam indeed inspires fear, abject terror, rather than love.

EVERY POLITICAL LEADER MUST BE ABLE TO SET ASIDE RELIGION AND FOCUS ON THE PEOPLE. If he knows he can't attend church service, for crying out loud, QUIT YOU DAMN JOB.

what I see as wrong is this condescending attitude. This letter is wrong in all ramifications.



You wouldn't attend church services or you would when they suit you?

I just don't like it when Religion is the excuse people give for their actions.

It would be more appropriate to hear of his fear of such a gathering or of his busy schedule or that attending funerals isn't part of his job.
Re: Nigeria's Consular-General, New York, I Am Not A Religious Bigot by deols(f): 6:07pm On Aug 15, 2012

maclatunji:

It is not a matter of supporting anybody. Christians are fond of this "you must follow our way mentality" which is quite ridiculous. If it isn't in his schedule of duties to attend Church services, he has every right not to attend if he chooses not to and you should respect Ŧħåϯ. I would be more concerned if he did not reach-out to the bereaved family rather than whether or not he attended their religious function.

As much as you want to cry "Freedom" to associate with anybody. Those that seek not to associate with you should also be respected. The bolded is typical- why "Must" he set aside his beliefs if it doesn't affect his statutory functions? The writer of the article was mischievous and he has exposed the lack of tolerance of a lot of Christians as well. The man has the right not to attend if it isn't a part of his official duties.

This mallam is a or suppose Ť☺ be a daiplomat not ordinary citizen.

Chai. Are we talking about christian leaders here or someone holding public position . Can u point a Christian leader holding public position in nigeria that refuse to enter mosque when there is need too? Nobody is asking muslim leader to enter church since its not mandatory
We asked someone that is representing nigeria not muslim. Simple as Abc

Seriously we Nigerians have comprehension problems. Our mindsets were seriously altered either by God or Allah or Satan himself..
As a Catholic, i find it difficult to attend and spend 10 minutes in any other Christian Church let alone Islam.
There is no law that requires the Consular General to attend Churches. I would do the same .

The CG said he sent an igbo-catholic lieutenant for the event. I think it is left for the so called lieutenant to say why he has to come dressed so casual witout even entering the church. I see no reason why a christain consulate representative will act this way. If the man doesn't speak then the CG is hidin something

No matter what you say,they will not make them view with open mind because HATE is already engraved in their minds. Once they hear Islam or Muslims the stereotype begins. He is a fanatics,Religious bigot,Boko haram etc. For some,they think when they castigate and demonise Islam,it makes their religion better.
Every Nigerian Muslim is now a Boko Haram,a Terrorist.In a country where about 50% are muslims,if every muslim is a terrorist,i wonder if you will be comfortabily typing behind your pC.
A South African last week called an Igbo man Boko Haram simply because he heared he is from Nigeria.Thats the same mistake we make when you call every Northerner a Boko Haram.
There are approximately over 50 million good practicing muslims in Nigeria,they will not use that as bases for judging muslims conduct,they will rather use the conduct of about less than 10 thousand Boko haram because its beneficial for their cause. Who is the fanatics here?
