We have become too sensitive to issues in this country

I would not expect Fashola to attend the service. He can enter the mosque. A christian governor can send a muslim for the prayer and then meet them in person at a gathering where he would not feel awkward.

Just imagine how you would feel if you find yourself in a place of muslim prayer.
But you can meet the same people when they have finished their prayer and you would not be awkward

The day Wole Soyinka dies, if they are doing the funeral in shrine, I wonder if a Christian governor would attend it

BetaThings:

Hitler, as a leader of a Christian country, would not have killed 6million jews

amosy007:
so how many of them forcefully convert anybody to christianity the way prophet osama bin latrin (piss unto him)
prophet abu qada, usman dan fodio, alzawiyr, not forgetin prophet shekau and sokoto are forcing people into kilslam?

Opps i forgot prophet muhamed fought and won many wars to capture mecca (holy wars init?)

now am waiting 4 u to refer me back to d days of catholism.

olawalebabs: Does giving sympathy not different from services. Lets be realistic here. Did GEJ attends Yaradua burial? Somehings dont add up here.

Sam Milla:

Anuofia, dont you know the meaning of
Church Services and
Church events?

Bazaar is an event.

amosy007:
so all jonathan participation in yaraduas death and burrier is not enough abi?(declaring 1week mourning etc) If the man in quote did half of what jonathan did for yaradua we wont be here complaning(just a single condolense leta woulda clear the air)... Or may be u should to the homepage and read allegations against the man again

BetaThings:

You are rude and don't have any respect for people
No need for an answer to you
My religion forbids being rude to leaders of other religions. This is not an even contest

olawalebabs: Answer my question and sop beaing around the bush.

jerseyboy:

Hitler wished Germans were Muslims. He was a great admirer of what the cult of Mohamed (Urine Be Upon Him) could get people up to.

Adolf Hitler –In his own words

"You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been more compatible
to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"

“Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers -already, you see, the world had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity! -then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.”

amosy007:
so what answer do u want again?

adegeorge:
I don’t think Mr. Onyeani whom I had been treating as an elder brother and adviser would descend to the level of insinuating my being a Religious bigot.

amosy007:
thats becoz u have no answer to that.. Me am not a bigot.. I hate any religion that support killing of my people .. Be it christianity or islam... And i hate superiority.. If thats why am rude (i prefer to stay that way)
thank u

olawalebabs: he same yardstick you use to judge the consular, use it for GEJ oo.

BetaThings:

If he had cited the examples of the Roman Empire that fed humans to lions, his soldiers would have been able to refute him

aribisala0: I just wonder whether we would be having the same outrage if an Igbo Christian refused to attend a service for Amadioha!!!

Did GEJ attend the Mosque service for his boss (Yaradua)?

The key issue is whether he engaged with the bereaved and discharged his duties/functions to them. Some people choose Not to attend religious ceremonies of ANY kind. That is their right and CANNOT preclude them from public office.

He has presented his own side of the story and we have no choice but to believe him since it is the duty of the accuser to PROVE OTHERWISE.

jerseyboy:

Romans who fed humans to Lions were not Christians. They actually fed Christians to Lions.

bigboy3: this guy is a clown....same way Facrook started with orisiri lies. What is the complexity about a church service or did anyone ask him to preach? Naija and drama....Funny thing, if na election period, the guy go enter church sharply.

manny4life: HE can attend church service if it's for celebration such as weddings, birthdays, baptisms, etc BUT his legs and hands are tied that he cannot church service for mourning... FLIMSY EXCUSE.

Now the perfect excuse comes - "I wouldn’t know what to do during the service as a Muslim", like seriously, who asked him to do anything special? Did anyone ask him to preach ?

norrisman: Why does the consular have to attend a church service for victims of a car crash? My wifes brother was shot dead in the same United States 2 years ago. We obviously didnt expect any government representatives at his interment and none turned up. When the young man (I think his handle was Bawolomo) on Nairaland was murdered last year, was there any government representative at his wake?

This stupid man accussing the consular is a fool. He probably only wanted a high ranking official from the embassy present to make their village association seem like one with friends and connects in high places. They obviously werent mourning at this event as we saw pictures posted on Nairaland of adults eating generous portions of food right infront of the portraits of the deceased children. What a shame!

Mekanze: true talk my broda, dis muslim people self, can't they see dat all d good things in dis world is 4rm Christian countries abi them blind?

phaya:


Exactly! All he had to do was just to show up. Has he gone to visit the bereaved families? Or his religion won't still let him enter a christian home?

kingoflag:

My dear ignorant African friend,

What is this obsession of yours with Hitler? I do not subscribe to any organized religion, but I despise deception and hypocrisy with a passion. Thus, those who do not know me might say I "flip-flop" on issues. This is not the case, however. I just choose to be fair, so my views today might differ from my views tomorrow depending on the situation on the ground.

It was just a war. Hitler hated cowards most of all. The ones that used to hide in drain pipes, sewers and cesspools to find comfort. I must tell you that he held a great respect for many British and American troops when they showed courage and resourcefulness. Are we to now denigrate Americans and British because of one mad man's respect for valor?

All wars are bad. For instance the Palestinian Holocaust. Almost 15 hundred innocent civilians died under the illegal White Phosphorus missiles the Jews, backed by Christian Nations, used out of fear of confronting face to face with the brave Palestinians.

Your words sound very peculiar especially when someone of "Christian" faith writes them. "Christian faith", practiced in the Nigerian version which promotes profligacy, decadence, extravagance and the accumulation of all things wealth related; all contrary to the teachings of the Bible which they claim to follow. The Bible teaches simplicity and modesty, doesn't it? So why does Nigeria's allow for Preachers to live large flying Private Jets and Driving Bentleys--all paid for by the largely poor followers--- while people starve to death everyday before their eyes?

What you have just said is subject to debate and most Muslims would probably say it is untrue. Also, even if Hitler admired Islam, it makes no difference toward Islam since Hitler was not a Muslim.

What is not subject to debate, however, is that Hitler was a Roman Catholic and often stated that the Nazi goal was in God's will. Also, the Roman Catholic Church has often been responsible for plotting to kill the Jews. Hitler never put Islam above Christianity, nor is he known to have renounced Catholicism and converted to Islam.

Please my dear friend do not also forget that Judas betrayed Jesus Christ and your people worship him as their God.

I hope that you are feeling better now.

erniok:
Before you respond to his post, you should know he didn't start the hitler talk.
Did the consular send a messenger to let the bereaved know that they are in receipt of their letter to the embassy or did he send a delegate to represent the embassy because these are two entirely different things.
