I Never Said Nigerians Should Be Allowed To Carry Guns —oritsejafor by mukina2: 9:28am On Mar 02, 2012
President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has denied reports published in an online site which quoted him as having asked President Goodluck Jonathan to allow every Nigerian to carry gun.

Pastor Oritsejafor, in a telephone interview, said that the online site named News Naija quoted him wrongly.

The site also wrongly referred to the Nigerian Tribune edition of Monday, February 27 as having reported the claim attributed to the CAN President.

Pastor Oritsejafor said: “What I have always said and will continue to say is that if you are attacked, you should defend yourself. As Christians, we don’t retaliate. But it will be suicidal for you to sit down there and allow somebody to kill you.

Suicide is not allowed in our religion because if you commit suicide, you go to hell. As Christians, you should defend and protect yourselves.

“I don’t understand why some people protest when I say Christians should defend themselves. I wonder if people want me to say, as the leader of all Christians in Nigeria, that if they come to cut off your head, you should surrender. I will never say that because that would be suicidal and it is wrong to commit suicide in Christianity.”

The online site, in a news report entitled: Allow Every Nigerian To Carry Gun, Pastor Oritsejafor Tells Jonathan, indicated that the CAN President told the president to allow all Nigerians to carry guns to protect themselves.

what mistake? , Even if he actually said it or not, nigerians are fund of understanding things in d way they individually choose. "Defend ur self or carry guns" point in the same direction n I'm with the Man of God all d way.

[b][/b] DID I HERE SOMEONE SAY "ISLAMITIZING NIGERIA"? THAT CAN NEVER HAPPEN NOT EVEN OVER THEIR DEAD BODIES,
THE PASTOR SAID CHRISTIANS SHOULD DEFEND THEMSELVES AND THE STATEMENT CREATES FEAR AND THREAT AMONG THE FANATICS,
THE BOKO RAMS AND GOATS BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE UNSTOPPABLE, PLEASE TELL THEM TO STOP ATTACKING AND RUNNING AWAY INTO HIDING,
BIAFRANS DID NOT STRIKE AND HIDE, THE MILITANTS IN NIGER DELTA DID NOT STRIKE AND HIDE, TELL THOSE COWARDS TO COME DOWN TO THE EAST AND SOUTH SOUTH, THEN THEY'LL KNOW THAT THERE ARE MILITANTS WAITING FOR THEM TO CROSS THEIR BOUNDARY,

islam is not the only people who can kill others.
why is the pastor even trying to give more meaning to that open truth.

dont ever think there are moderate ones, they are all the same

Re: I Never Said Nigerians Should Be Allowed To Carry Guns —oritsejafor by slam7000(m): 12:07pm On Mar 03, 2012
Im not a fan of Pastor Ayo cos he is CAN president,but i think he should not be castigated for his speech.any responsible leader will say what he said, he christians should defend themselves,he never said christians should offend or retaliate,however mischievous minds want to misinterpret his statement, He simply said They should defend themselves, period.running away from danger is defense as well as fighting a man or thugs who are attacking you.
Re: I Never Said Nigerians Should Be Allowed To Carry Guns —oritsejafor by Buc(m): 1:06pm On Mar 03, 2012
Self defence is human right.
Re: I Never Said Nigerians Should Be Allowed To Carry Guns —oritsejafor by Buc(m): 1:24pm On Mar 03, 2012
Self defense is a right recognised by God, animals, plants and d constitutions of sane societies and organisations. To discourage people from it is wickedness, rape, violation, madness and insane. A failing Nigeria is a result of cowardice.
