The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has asked the Federal Government to immediately establish ecclesiastical courts in the country to correspond with the existing Sharia court.

Reverend Adeolu Adeyemo, CAN’s chairman in Kano State, made the request on Thursday at the ongoing public hearings on the review of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) taking place in the state.

According to him, if the country cannot remain secular as provided in the 1999 constitution, there is an urgent need to equally establish ecclesiastical courts to balance the existence of Sharia courts in the country.
Similarly, the Bauchi State chapter of CAN also demanded that the ecclesiastical courts must be included in the Nigerian constitution to attend to the yearnings of Nigerian Christians.

The association insisted that the Christians have been marginalised and discriminated against over the provision for Sharia court without Christians having their own.

DAILY POST reports that Sharia law has been in existence in the country since 1999, when then Zamfara State Governor, Ahmad Sani Yerima began the push for the institution of Sharia at the state level of government.

Establishing an ecclesiastical court would enable the Christian faithful to have jurisdiction mainly in spiritual or religious matters concerning them.

The love Southern Kaduna people gave to you in Kaduna.

You reciprocated with beheading them in their sleep.

Benue Christian Farmers tried to love you too.

You spilled intestines and slit throats in barbaric manner.

Plateau Christians wanted to try their luck loving you.


You went after young students killing them in quiet assassinations.

You barbarian, undeserving of love. The only thing you deserve is VENGEANCE.

Thats good because I am already under the Ecclesiastical province on the Niger.

So I think the court is necessary so that I can be tried according to christian laws which will help anchor my steps for heavenly race.


Eternity in view and Heaven at last because I am already a candidate for heaven but Ecclesiastical Courts mitst be here to guide our steps.

YOU MEAN NIGER REPUBLIC

You and who is yearning for Christian court




Ehhh CAN

How the Muslims will reject the Ecclesiastical court and support Sharia law will automatically inform you the type of god they worship

Shut up. Better to keep quiet than to display your stupidity.

And what happens when the Moslems starts demanding for Fridays as stay at home days just like the way Sundays is in Nigeria..??

The Christians never demanded Sunday as holiday, it's the calender that provided us with a holiday.

Don't Muslim also rest on Sunday?
Should Muslim be granted Friday as holiday what about other religions that will ask for holiday meaning Sunday, Monday to Saturday will be holiday then. So don't be stupid

Take one chair and sit down

Baawaa:

shut up. And Muslim should behave like devil ?

Christian states should organize militia groups like Hisbah to enforce 10 commandments.

CAN is shortsighted.
This is how they did in the hijab fight with some student wearing church gown before they gave up after a few weeks
All CAN will do is oppressive Sharia court and end up hurting itself.

No religious courts should be legally recognized.

Yes! Waiting for MURIC stupid response to this development.

If there can be sharia courts,why not

Most Christians don't understand Ecclesiastical court, they are busy supporting CAN

Ecclesiastical court is just the sharia version of christianity even worst than sharia.

Make una dey support evil.

Do you see christians telling you headslammers the date to sight the moon?

You are in no position to tell christians what is good for them.

That pastor ought to be jailed for even thinking about it, how dare he?? How dare he?? What nonsense...

Are you a Christian?
ANYWAYS, Christianity is not by mouth fortunately, it by their fruits you know and your fruits om nairaland at least disqualified you. Unless you will change from this your comment

Nothing bad about this as long as your religion truly stated it and not as any form of jealousy because of shariah Court THAT IS A MUST for Muslims on some certain issues.


It's a welcome development.
