Onaiyekan To Presidency: Stop Linking Opposition With Boko Haram by Nobody: 10:27am On Jul 18, 2014
The Catholic Bishop of Abuja, John Cardinal
Onaiyekan, has urged the Presidency to stop
labelling critics of his administration, particularly
opposition politicians, as enemies and supporters of
the Boko Haram sect.

Speaking on a radio programme “Face the Nation”,
on Rockcity 101.9 FM Abeokuta, Ogun State, the
frontline cleric advised those in positions of authority to be tolerant of the opposition.

He said: “The issue of the politicisation is very
serious and dangerous, where the party in
government sees anybody who doesn’t agree with
them as the Boko Haramist that are out to destroy
the nation. What this means is that, if you do not
agree with me, or if you are not in the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), you don’t love Nigeria… That we disagree in politics doesn’t mean we don’t love our nation. And until we get that out of our heads, not much will move forward.

“By the way, before I’m misquoted, it’s the same
thing from the part of the opposition, who think they are the only ones who love Nigeria and those in the party in government don’t like this country and are destroying our nation. That kind of attitude cannot help us.

”The former Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)
president also said the insecurity in the land is
disturbing.

The cleric expressed disappointment at the
Presidency’s information managers.

He said: “When things are not going well, and if there is anything on which Nigerians are agreed,
irrespective of political parties, it is that things are
not going well. The only time I’ve heard that
everything is perfect was recently on television, on
the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), when
Okupe was telling HARDTALK that ‘everything in
Nigeria is perfect’.

“He is the only one I’ve heard saying that kind of
thing, that the government has done everything
perfectly. When he was asked about the girls in the
bush, he said: ‘Oh, don’t worry, they will soon come
back.’ Who is he deceiving? We all agree that things
must change. I’m hoping that the more and more
Nigerians will realise that we can’t just sit down and
wait for things to change. Worse still, we don’t sit
down and say, ‘Only God will save Nigeria’.”

thank you sir!

Exactly what is happening here on nairaland. So swift for the ProGEJs and the PDP supporters to label anyone who doesn't support their views and opinions an APC supporter of APC and devil.

Why can't your man of God use his spiritual resources to tell us who the sponsors of boko haram are? Afterall he seems to be so sure they aren't the opposition.

Now tell me, are members of the congregation not the same people the politicians are ruling? If they are, then the Bishop should be concerned. Moreover, he is a Nigerian like everyone of us.

German Muslim scholar replies on TERRORISM ... I
liked the answer of this German Muslim scholar
when he was asked about terrorism and Islam : He
said : Who started the first world war? not
Muslims ? Who started the second world war ? not
Muslims ? Who killed about 20 millions of
Aborigines in Australia ? not Muslims ?? Who sent
the nuclear bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ?
not Muslims ?? killed more than 100 millions of
Indians in North America ? not Muslims ?? Who
killed more than 50 millions of Indians in south
America ? not Muslims ?? Who took about 180
millions of African people as slaves and 88% of
them died and were thrown in Atlantic ocean ? not
Muslims ?? No , NOT Muslims!!! First of all, You
have to define terrorism properly... If a non-Muslim
does something bad..it is crime. But if a Muslim
commits the same..he is a terrorist... So first
remove this double standard...then come to the
point!!! , . . . . . I am proud to be a MUSLIM !!! ARE
YOU SPREAD THIS MSG & DON'T BREAK THE
CHAIN

Military coup as this time will only help disintegrate the country once and for all.
The coup leader will rule only people from his enclave.
