Nairaland is the worst place to read any meaningful news. I'm getting increasingly nauseated by this forum. A reflection of the decadence of the intelligence of our people.

This news was half-reported, I even had to Google the story to really understand what happened.

How can you simply put a picture of the pope kissing the leg of a Sudanese leader without writing why or what transpired?

The more you visit here the duller you actually become. Even the act of reporting news in simple and correct English has become a big problem here. I weep for people that will grow up reading Nairaland and the many junk on it.

This is what actually transpired for those that care to check:

Yea, what a language of "faith", " divinity" and "humility " you just spoke there! A true defender and reflection of Pope Francis' "humility".

Keep it up, kid. Sure the " humble" Pope is so proud of your " humility". grin

Chukwudi, You don't know that the country in question is at war? Are you aware that this simple gesture can make the President and Rebel leader to see it that Jesus is begging them to stop killing human beings?

You do know that every diplomatic gesture has failed in Sudan and that country is about to implode? You are aware that America does not care right? Neither does all these useless GOs we have here?

And a man that a billion plus people rely on for spiritual guidance decides to intervene... You deride him?

I leave you to whatever you worship or hold esteem.

That's Christianity for you. We preach peace to the world. The Pope is a promoter of peace hence, this act. Hardly will you find a Sheik or an Imam exihibiting an extraordinary manner of humility such as this.


We bow to no creature except the creator of all things living and none living ALMIGHTY ALLAH.


Bowing to kiss the feet is anything but humility. It’s denigration of your being for another being who has nothing over you.

If he can now to kiss the feet of an ordinary human being, a rotten meat, a sand, what will he do to show humility to the one who created him and has the power over his life and death.

Bowing to kiss the feet of of a fellow human is a sign of a man who is confused as to who is bigger between his god and the man.

I checked the link out and I think it doesn't really justify your comment, although the post gave little reason about why the pope kissed the president's shoes, it still didn't change the fact that the pope kissed the shoes..

by d way I don't see this as an act of humility and not necessary to emphasize on promoting peace, even if a million pope gives a million kisses on the president shoes, it won't still change the fact that if the power brokers don't want peace, they won't fight

I am not Catholic but I can tell you that this action of humility by the Pope is a big lesson on "Stooping to Conquer". It did not change the fact that he is Pope; it cost him nothing but proves he has no pride.

Besides, Jesus washed the feets of his disciples. We are christians - christ-like - and the Pope just put Christianity into perspective yet again.

That is NOT Humility, Far from it, whatever it is, it is a public show and it has no relation with Christianity

The Pope is just representing an organisation that loves to be referred to as a Church,but in actual fact, a dead organisation, lifeless and without Christ

How does kissing the feet President Salva Kiir Mayardit of South Sudan stop the war that is raging in that place since the 80s? Did Jesus kissed the feet of Punctius Pilate to negotiate Peace when they cried crucify him? Men without Power do stupid things for the Camera

The Pope doesn't deceive the black people.
How many people KILLED in that new nation?
Salva Kiir & Riek Machar are two people to stop violence.

POPE'S ACT OF HUMILITY WILL CHANGE THEIR LIVES & THINKING FOREVER.

Think my brother! Over 1.7 million people killed in that new country already.

Caused by the camps of the 2 men.

Think my brother. Think.

The two south Sudanese leaders are both Catholic.
Pope is bigger than them, yet, bow to respect them.
That act alone would make them both, stop war in their country.

do you read your bible at all?? Use your brain biko, Jesus Christ washed and kissed the feets of his apostles, of which peter wanted to refuse but The lord insisted and also ordered them to do to others what he has done to them.
Learn to read your bible.

Pope Francis was pictured kneeling down to kiss the feet of South Sudan's President Salva Kiir Mayardit (C) and South Sudan opposition leader Riek Machar (R) at the Pope's Santa Marta residence in the Vatican on April 11, 2019

I am a Muslim,Alhamdililah. But this is what i expect from a real religious leader. I will do anything for peace to reign.

Only the parties there can really tell,how speechless they felt @ that moment.

You can see the President,don turn to humble Man. I can also guess this will be the end of the war in South Sudan.

Islam don’t admonish us to bow,but we do bow to our parents and elders. No be only Yoruba and Hausa people dey bow down oh. Chinese get respect for elders die,Indiana’s too.

I am waiting for the Day,the chief Imam in Makka will do something similar to 2 fighting parties and see if they no go gree immediately.

If your Papa Dey bow for you to make peace,who no go run and grab his Dad or Mum from bowing to him? Only if Na Omo Ale!

Humility breaks all boundaries. Thanks again Pope for that amazing gesture.
