Christmas Day Massacre: 10,000 protest in Kaduna

BY LUKA BINNIYAT

KADUNA – No fewer than 10,000 people [size=33pt]marched [/size] in a carnival-like procession in Zonkwa, headquarters of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State denouncing and condemning the Christmas Day bombing of a church in Madala, near Suleja, Niger State, where about 30 people were killed, and several others injured.

The protesters called for a united voice against terrorism, insisting that God had a divine purpose for creating Nigeria, and as such Nigeria must not be allowed to be destroyed by evil men posing as religious champions.

[size=33pt]Speaking after the three kilometre procession[/size] at the Zonkwa play ground, Zangon Kataf council Christian Association of Nigeria Chairman, Rev. Sunday Ibrahim, said that God did not create man for another man to kill with satanic pleasure in the guise of fighting for God.

Said Ibrahim: “In Madala, unarmed men, women and children were praying to God and were without provocation bombed. That was just one of the several terrorism acts carried out on churches by people who hate God and his children.

They kill people with satanic pleasure to please, certainly, not our God. God has a divine purpose for every human being. God has a divine purpose for Nigeria to be created.

“No man has a right to kill any man. God did not allow Nigeria to be created for someone to destroy. Christians and all those who believe in peace must speak up against terrorism. If you don’t stand up against terrorism, one day you would stand on the Judgment day and face your creator”, he said.”

After reading some of the responses here, I am thoroughly ashamed at our average mental output.
But, it could be that some people simply do not understand tenses to know when something has already been done and dusted.

Good idea but they should take necessary precautions to ensure the procession itself is not bombed, because all GEJ will say is that perpetrators will be brought to Justice, bet we all know that nothing will happen.

Did you bother to read the post above you?

No No No, !!!!! this is wrong because we are opening way for protest this can lead to Revolution people more of protest will be carried out in different part of the country when things like this happend remember you dont know were next, !!

men, these guyz chop liver o! i cant partake in this kind of protest at a religiously volatile place like zonkuwa. Kudos for the effort.

@Afam4eva Hope you can see that I responded to the topic via a mobile phone and mobilie phone version of NL only shows the topic I.e via twitter. The topic expressly asked whether we are in support of the march or not. However, I think the issue of present or past tense is merely a diversionary tactic to distract people from the crux of the matter. The koko is that we have a president who can not protect Nigerians. Beaf and co can speak as much english as they like but nobody is fooled here, I mean not the second time after April 17.

The figure too small for a country of over 150 mil.

March Like marching will change anything. Just be careful as you all are marching, incase Boko Haram place another bomb in the midst of 10,000 marchers

and some people are afraid of going to church.
I hail una courage.

the only good protest we can think of now is anyone against jonathan and pdp.
it is obvious that a sick yar adua is 200% more active than a healthy jonathan.

Pictures? Videos?

Hopefully this protest will force officials to take action.

The govt. should do something fast about this. Whether they should ask CIA or Mossad to help, i don't know. They must do something fast about it

its a good thing as long as its violent free.

GBAM ME SUPPORT ALL D WAY, LEFTRIGHTLEFTRIGHTLEFT [b][/b]

@threader. WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT. Ibu onye ala? Thats a question u know the answer to. If u are a muslim, then ibu onye ala.

Like his predecessors, why can’t GEJ set up panels of inquiries to look into the remote causes of these incessant and provocative bombings?  The government   know who the bombers and their sponsors are. Any  solution?  He has told us to be patient with the bombings and learn to live with them as the bombings  will soon fizzle out. Good. At least that is the best he can do to proffer. In my candid opinion, Every Christian should team up to protect themselves as CAN has said and only reprisals will do that. If they can succeed in bombing them on a Friday jumat prayer and the casualty figure is as high as 2,000 then the battle like will be drawn and the government will begin to find a lasting solution. Wait and see. Very soon what am posting here will happen in the northern states of the federation. Enough is enough.

that some people do not believe in Christ is not the reason they shoould kill those worshipping Him. what happened to the so called freedom of worship?

the people that did this also have who they believe in and worship and they also have a day or days set aside for their celebration, how many times have christians disturbed them talk more of bombing them during their sallah or watever they call it?yet such act is being perpetrated on christians.

how long shall we fold our hands and watch devil use these idiots in sendding home before time the soldiers that will do the endtime work? for how long should we continue to burial christ's endtime soldiers? today 's christianity is suppose to be a radical one, more than the days of Elijah who called down fire and slain the prophets of baal. devil is seriously using these pple to make sure that the kingdom of God does not move forward. it s high time we arise and call upon the fury of God on these barbarians. they have been trained and sold their hearts to terriorism. they are living but in actual sense they are dead.

wat happened on 25th was a big insult to Jesus. thanks to God for the pastors that arose to declare vegeance for this great insult. for of a truth the perpetrators of this latest act will not go free. the news of their judgement will be heard sooner than expected.

the protest will not change anything but going down on our knees will.

I don't support the protest one bit! Protest is for cowards. I favor reprisal bombings. That is a better way to get our grievance against Islamists heard in the land. All those in favor of reprisal, say Aye.

It will make sense þo protest in ABJ n not in kaduna. I hope there was security during the protest. Cos bokos like large gathering it is appetizing to bomb crowd than few.

the question is not whether you support the protest or not, the question is when will all these nairaland's fire-spitting Gladiators protest and stop posting
when will all these HALF NIGERIAN-HALF EUROPEANS/AMERICANS stop the war of diction and vocabulary and apply their luxury intelligence to Boko Haram tactics?
Until then, the fear of Boko Haram is the beginning of 'run when you see an aboki walking suspiciously'.

Fully supported the protest march. This shuld send a clear message to Boko & Govt that xtians cant take this anymore. Let what happened in 1966 not repeat itself. Hmn, GEJ wake-up frm sleep & tidy up all these mess otherwise we'll sink.

Next time, they should march to Aso Rock, that's where the real Boko Haram is

Am in full surport of the protest , enough of the suffering and smiling. Its time to let the govt know that they have to do something about this boko haram mass murder of innocent nigerians.

Any non-violent approach supported.

Alfasegh:

Any non-violent approach supported.

Stop dreaming. Wake up and welcome to the real world - scud missile for bomb, gun for sword, LMGs for rifles, earthquake for fire.

That's a welcomed development to the Boko Haram menace. However, it would take a lot more of such protests to change the present state of affairs condoned by this seemingly overwhelmed government of ours. Action has to be taken fast, maybe even through rogue attacks or guerilla methods.
