Then they won't be neutral anymore

Clerics should not get involved in politics.

(Yes, black American clerics get involved in politics, but that's the result of circumstance....sometimes a black cleric was the most educated and the person with the widest reach....and even then....most of them even then don't.)

If human lives are all that matter to them irrespective of genders, religions, ethnicity, colours, etc, they are neutral.

All humans matter to God and He wants them to enjoy all their basic rights and privileges. However, those are saved through faith in Jesus Christ become a special species, anyone can join them- salvation is optional and personal - and anyone can decide to perish eternally. But I counsel those are yet to saved to embrace Christ today.

But for humanity's sake, it's no neutrality when you know good things to do but refuse to do them. When genocides become fruit of a political system and you are not involved for a good change, you're not neutral.... you're aiding and abetting evils. Are we not in a worse situation than the black Americans you referred to? Do you say our circumstance doesn't warrant more than theirs did? You're saying this because, perhaps, you think you are safe.

Is Osinbajo a cleric?

So u don't know? It is finished.

Apus:


Oga which Kain question be dis na?

By "Christian" I don't mean Nominal Christian but Practicing one.

Good God bless you we want good people from both religion to contest for political office in the country so that they will correct the wrong done in the past by the ungodly and wicket politicians

No. He's an alfa.

Amen and you too sir.
We're tired of just praying in our churches, while it seems those guys become even the more hardened. We need Godly men who are dauntless and can steer the affairs of this nation around for good.

I will join soon. We don't even need to be told that. After all, Daniel was vice president in a foreign country in three successive government.

What is this man saying, every human's calling's is vertu different.

By neutral I don't mean that they should be quiet about injustice

Just that they should not take sides party wise.

Religion is best separated from Politics

Lordbravo11:



Religion is best separated from Politics

In theory it is a great ideal.One that I like myself

In practice, it doesn't quite work out that way. Human beings don't live in a vacuum.

Ajebaba:

And you cleverly left Apostle Sulaimon and Pastor Oyedepo out of your list...oh i forgot those are PDP pastors!!! Continue deceiving yourself

Bro na forgetation do me o







I'm not a fan of any political pastors in the country

Makinde is mad .

If we all join politics, what happens to the productive sectors of the economy?

Everybody is abandoning their profession for politics.

Senate is full of Industrialists. We invest more in politics than in industry and we want to reduce unemployment and grow the economy. How's that possible?

Shame on us.

Apus:
I agree with him.

I don't know where Christians got the idea that they should not get involved in politics when in fact in proverbs 29:2 it says "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.'

I wonder too

If there are good and bad parties, their line of duty must include supporting, sponsoring, and voting for the good ones and their good candidates until evil is incapacitated. If there is none, as seen in our situation in Nigeria, they must encourage and sponsor formation of a good one, be involved unrelentlessly in ensuring good party representations in all aspects until justice, equality, equity, and peace prevail. That is an atmosphere that guarantees peace, prosperity, progress and development for everyone. Otherwise, all of us will continue to cry endlessly, because God will not do what he has programmed humanity to do. He has His own divine part to play, we have ours too. God doesn't do what He expects people to do.

What are:

Pastor Osinbajo

Sheikh Gumi

Pastor Ize Iyamu

Pastor Adeboye


Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor


And others doing it underground...



BTW, even if all other imams and pastors join politics, will they allow them to use the laws of God to run the affairs of the country?

what are the laws of God?

Rolexjerry:

It's a lie bro. At least they'll have some conscience. Nigeria would have been in a better state if Osinbanjo was president.

what did he do when he was commissioner in Lagos?

kingawothefirst:
These miracle money pastors corrupt past politicians, what we need is highly educated and intelligent people in government, not land and money grabbers.

we already have highly educated and intelligent people in govt. And they are all money grabbers

Cromagnon:

If they are money grabbers, then they are not intelligent.

Intelligent people plan for the future and consider future generations in their plans, they also understand that a democratic government is a government elected by the people for the people.

Money grabbers in government positions that don’t apply this in their policies, attitudes and decisions are not intelligent, they are what you call buffoons. We currently have a bunch of buffoons in agbada in office, don’t mistake that for intelligence.

Really
They achieved their aim didn't they?

Intelligent people plan for the future and consider future generations in their plans

They've planned for THEIR future and THEIR FUTURE GENERATIONS

They were elected by the ppl abi no election for your area?

Argue with yourself about semantics. You know exactly what I mean. We need intelligent people in government who are elected to move the country forward. Any elected public official who works solely on self interest instead of the interest of the people is not intelligent but a BUFFOON! or better yet a BABOON in agbada. Hope that clarifies things more for you.
