This ur rejoinder sounds stupid as u will be.Can't the simple explanations the writer put forward explain the Govt intent, which every sane person should understand, do we have to wait till the virus will spread and not containable again.
Even,if Nig govt is a bad one,should we throw the baby away with the bath water?is it rocket science to know the govt intent! Stay at home to cut the spread channel..You are an evil person

Oluromantic:

Kindly tell Nigerians when and how God gave the commandments to the government and who's the government earpiece that heard from God...

Does the government has the interest of Nigerians in mind?.. Everyone including pastors and church members already know beforehand that they're on their own.

If this was happening during election campaign and voting season, then you'll understand that you're just a tool to the government whether virus is staring you on the face or not. The pastors know they're on their own in Nigeria, they're used to it, so little wonder they don't give a damn about govt laws. In fact some of the pastors offer better welfare to their members than the so-called govt.

OP, Churches have closed down while Mosques continue to hold services. Are you not still ok with that?
What more do you hold against Churches?

Stupid comparism.you should know the illiteracy level in both religons.Why must religion come up in a case like this.hate bigots like you.Who told you mosques open,some do just like some defiant christian churches do.Here in enugu two Pentecostal churches are on now.seriously kid you cant grow up when you allow religon take over you.be guided by your conscience.The fed govt is trying with our limited resources #stay at home#.see a church/mosque open report but dont compare.

Let's See who is BRAINWASHED..


Qur'an, Surah 30: Al Rum 17

"SO (GIVE) GLORY TO ALLAH, WHEN YE REACH EVENTIDE AND WHEN YE RISE IN THE MORNING;" 18 "YEA,TO HIM BE PRAISE, IN THE HEAVENS AND
ON EARTH; AND IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND WHEN THE DAY BEGINS TO DECLINE."

These verses only mention four prayers as directed by allah.. Muhammad in hadith BRAINWASHED you slaves, kicked against this directives, asked you to pray FIVE TIMES a day...

Secondly :

Surah An-Nisa [4:3] - Al-Qur'an al-Kareem

And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].

allah said you should marry maximum of FOUR wives, Muhammad kicked against the directive and commandment of allah as he MARRIED over TEN WIVES.. Muhammad brainwashed you as usual that you can marry up to 10 wives.. Can you now see how STUPID you are with your bloody religion.. JUST THINK ok

Lol...... U well so? I ain't even malo so you quoted the wrong person.

Agboriotejoye:

All over the north, mosques are opened and prayers ongoing everyday.

all over the north , churches are holding service and you can ask anyone...so what's your point...the lockdown depends on the state governor and it is tougher in the south because there are more cases there

Iyiataata92:
[s]OP, Churches have closed down while Mosques continue to hold services. Are you not still ok with that?

So if mosques are open it means churches must be open as if disobeying the government is a competition.

When we go get sense for this country?

we Christians r our own enemies..come to Kano and see the way they go to mosque every day..No one dare to stop their prayer,no Muslim come online to criticize it.But if it were to be Christians, some foolish Christians who think they r educated and wise will open their wide mouth to insult pastors and the church...

Because many Christians are from the south and in Nigeria today the south is more enlightened than the north on average.
Remember that christianity condones criticism when compared to most religions.

I'm presently in the north and in the town where I am, churches were warned not to open else they get burned while mosques go ahead with their prayers. This one na live movie not dem say.

Norabay:
Some church in my area, are still holding church service.

What area

alBHAGDADI:


I recently read about a mosque in Agege which was shut down by the government of Lagos for flouting the social distancing order. I don't know about any other mosque disobeying the order.

But if Muslims want to expose themselves to the deadly virus, so be it. That doesn't mean Christians should do same.

Abeg shattap there. If you are sincere,you should be concerned about both religions.

Iyiataata92:
Trash!!!

Just like your name. Trash.

mvem:
which Christians were killed in the South. In the North no church is banned from opening. You have to understand that the total lockdown is not in all states and it depends on the state governor. The lockdown is tougher in the south because we have more cases there. Moreover the imam of that katsina problem was arrested and another in Kaduna. Stop watching those what'sapp videos depicting people killed for it is fake.The only known death happened to a civilian in Delta and it was unfortunate.Please no one is targeting Christians because even those soldiers you see on the road in Lagos etc are also Christians. Total lockdown is not enforced in all states...as I speak to you many churches in the north are free to hold service same as Mosques...I think it is when new cases are found in those states that the state Gov might implement tougher measures in some northern states...This is not a Muslim vs Christian thing...Those States having total lockdown bans all gathering, whether Jumua prayer or Sunday Service

Lies!! I'm in Niger state and churches and main mosques are locked. But the street mosques are opened for morning and evening prayers

persius555:


Oh, so it has now got down to counting number of the arrested on both sides of the faith.

Pathetic

My dear, cool down. The dichotomy is sickening. We will speak against it.
Meanwhile, ignorant muslims are exposing themselves to the virus. That's their wahala.

All the mosques in my area are always full. Argue with your face mask.

paxonel:
i'm a Christian let's say the truth. There are more cases of churches closed for flaunting the government sit at home order than mosques.

Infact, there were more pastors arrested than imams for this disobedience.

I guess you are not on nairaland or you choose to turn blind eyes and come here to claim Christian. Dummy. Why don't you show us any imam that have been arrested so far, just of recently a news on front page said that bauchi mosques are still open, and this one is still talking trash, or you don't read the Benue central mosques that was open on naira land, I guess the kastina that burn down a whole police station at Christian. Foolish being

Kinematics:

Then criticise with brain or better still among fellow Christians. Don't open Christianity to laughing stock among unbelievers

When you were born, did your mother dispose you in a nylon bag till a Samaritan found you? Or why you reasoning like a maternal waste product like this?

The Catholic Church I watch on AIT don't obey those rules. Communion is also served on tongue

Mosalashi Alhaja at Agege Lagos State opened on Fridays but thanks to our Governor Babajide Sanwolu who shut the mosque down and locked it up

Don't mind those idiot asking for link, they are all on nairaland and they are seeing the news.

That's how one idiot ask me to show him a link that said that bokoharam are killing Christians. Those guys are just to dumb to reason with.

alBHAGDADI:
I recently read that a very popular pastor in Nigeria spoke against the arrest of pastors who disobeyed the social distancing order by the government by holding services of more than 50 people. His argument is that the pastors were arrested just as Jesus and his disciples were arrested for doing what government warned against.

Both instances are quite different from each other. Jesus and his disciples were arrested by the government for upholding God's commandments and testimonies. These pastors on the other hand were arrested for disobeying the government who hasn't stopped them from upholding God's commandments.

The lockdown and social distancing order by the government is not a persecution of Christianity as some are trying to paint it. It is truly what it is - the protection of people which is by curbing the spread of COVID-19.

If some people say Christianity is persecuted because Churches aren't allowed to hold services in the regular manner, what about night clubs, sports stadiums, concert halls, restaurants, buses, schools etc? Can those ones also cry of persecution?

The government is simply trying to protect the citizens by ensuring that the number of people infected with COVID-19 doesn't increase. Perhaps, it's when people start dropping dead that stubborn folks will understand the government's effort.

Any pastor that tries to cramp his church with a crowd is wicked and should be arrested for endangering lives and aiding the spread of the virus.

Some may say "God will protect us, so we must have faith in that by gathering as usual". That is a wrong thing to say because it means you are tempting God. God steps in when there's nothing else you can do to protect yourself. But when you have measures or escape route and still decide to walk into evil because you think God will protect you, then you will be punished.

Proverbs 22:3
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Don't tempt God, obey the government's guidelines towards battling this virus. It is not compulsory you gather in a build before you worship God. You can worship God individually at home because God is everywhere and can see you.

Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

The only time you can disobey government's order as a Christian is when they are telling you to disobey God's word. Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego were told by their government to bow before a statue. They refuse because it was against God's commandment.

Exodus 25:4-5
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

The three young man refused to obey the government's order because it goes against God's word. Then knew the punishment the government would visit then with. They knew God could deliver them from it because they couldn't deliver themselves. The only other way out of the punishment is by disobeying God. They didn't want that route so they trusted in God.

Daniel 3:17
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king

Don't let any false pastor expose your life to danger of the virus. The worst thing is that when you get infected, same pastors who hold stage-managed miracles in large stadiums won't be able to perform a miracle to heal you because they are false prophets who don't know God.

Stay at home and stay away from conspiracy theories. Read the Bible.

How many imams have been arrested by the same govt. At least they are still gathering to pray on Fridays.
Let's be balanced when talking about constitutional rule of law. You ask one group not to gather but permit the other to gather.
