The point is a call by any Christian Clergy for the carriage of arms as a means of self defence is not scriptural by biblical standpoint.

However, why I do not aim at promoting ethnic/religious violence, great Nigerian masses need one form of defensive/protective weapon.

The big question in my mind is who do I need this weapon to attack:
[size=15pt]Nigerian Mentality is rotten ooo. See question. Do you have to go and attack anybody because you have a gun.
To read and understand can be a milestone to some people.
No imagine, if some one like you (attacker) want to go and attack an innocent man who also has a gun, wont you think twice ?[/size]

the man who is fighting for equality and just distribution of the nation's resources or the pastor who enriches himself/his families at the expense of the poor/impoverished members of the church community?

I'm sorry but a call for any form of social and national aggression in Nigeria should not come from any Nigerian clergymen. May be pastor Tunde Bakare could speak on this issue too.

Please tell them. The problem with our people is that they have been totally brainwashed with religion from childhood to the extent, they can't think outside the box . The indoctrination has eaten so deep into them that they can't possibly see how they can live without religion. If we are to gauge the IQ of the average Nigerian with the kind of responses on this thread, then it's obvious that the future of this nation is very bleak. This generation is nothing but an abysmal failure! The people who are taking this country for a ride are the same people who have been there for the past 30-50years and THEY ARE STILL THERE running things! When a younger person tries to rise up, it's the same younger generation that pull him/her down with sentiments such as "you lack experience" OR "you don't have what it takes" OR "Nigeria needs people of experience". No wonder IBB had the guts to repeat the same sentiments on live television when he said "The youths of today don't have what it takes to move this nation forward". Imagine that!

Remove religion from the system of things and see if Nigerians won't begin to take their destinies into their hands. Remove religion and see the masses react with instant action on any irregularities in government affairs. The people will become intolerant to the endless tales of missing billions and they would readily march en-masse to the government houses to carry out jungle justice on these thieves (if the government refuses to act accordingly). Nobody will sit back and watch one man steal trillions while the masses suffer. Look around you. . .All they do is pray,pray,pray and fast,fast,fast and pray some more. The price of gas keeps going up, the roads are worse than before,crime is skyrocketing and with the abundance of religion, the people still remain vile,wicked and mean to themselves. So much for the "benefits" of religion.

Pathetic! ! !

Useless CAN how could they say that?

LagosShia:

when the area boys in CAN make silly and irresponsible statements,people react by excusing them that it is not "scriptural" as if the bible is not full of violence.even Jesus (as) asked for swords.

but when boko haram does nonsense they dont remember that islamically it is not also "scriptural".


i know that the silly statements by CAN are only givem much attention on in places like NL.they reach anywhere important.

Those castigating PAPA AYO are the greatest fool. The man made a conditional statement, If it is obvious that FG cannot provide security for Jos people then tell us how to protect the Jos people.
When the muslim kill, they don't quote the Quoran but when the Christian does any thing that is when you see muslims quoting the Bible even more than the Christians.
In fact I regretted being a christian because Christians don't know their right from their left.
How many muslims have come out to openly criticize the sultan of Sokoto and even Boko Haram on Nairaland?
Any one who knows he can do the job better to guaranty the security of Jos people should aspire to take over from PAPA. Personally , I don't like the Christian faith because it is full of hypocrites
