Cleric Sets Himself Ablaze In Delta by mukina2: 12:08pm On Jul 19, 2012
A cleric, whose name was given as Obaleme, committed suicide in Warri, Delta State, on Wednesday by setting himself on fire.

It was gathered that Obaleme, who had recently complained of family problems, stopped his car on Udu Bridge in Warri, grabbed a can of fuel and dashed under the bridge.

Eyewitnesses say he then doused himself with the fuel and set himself ablaze. Before onlookers could sufficiently quench the fire, the pastor died.

When contacted, Charles Muka, the state’s police spokesperson, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.

What a way to commit suicide. He should have used a different and quicker method because fire was nothing. Hell was waiting for him.

C'mon, that was the type of Chariot Elijah used back then. He didn't set himself on fire.
Re: Cleric Sets Himself Ablaze In Delta by baslone: 1:39pm On Jul 19, 2012
No big deal. He got tired of scamming his congregation. He didn't need help. He just fastened the process grin

If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through.- Zechariah 13:3

Re: Cleric Sets Himself Ablaze In Delta by Nobody: 1:42pm On Jul 19, 2012
There's more to this story than meets the ordinary mind. 1. May be he did something unthinkable or committed a sacrilage and never wanted to face the shame. 2. May be he was under a spell or enchantment kind of.

Try and beat his record with your methods and you'll be honoured on Nairaland as a brave man who died for his country. This is my humble logomachy.

How am I judging a sucider? So, because he was a pastor aka cleric, he should be in heaven?

How can one take the life God has given them?

If it's ok for him to commit suicide because he was a cleric then your god, my dear, is a very unfair god.
