Dshocker:
They weren't smart enough

This is not a good statement. Are you trying to encourage kidnapping or what?

What a sad news .There are so many cheap ways to die in Nigeria,this is just one of them. These nurses on duty will also blame buhari,but they have failed in carrying out their responsibilities.These health officers should be given query and sanctioned appropriately by their professional body.may God comfort the bereaved

Well said

A show of shame

Thank God for the safety of the shop owner. It's obvious an average Nigerian hardly read or pay attention to details

Her husby don show her the real pepper

Rest in peace,man of God.Though I never attended your church,am a silent fan of your philanthropic and generous life to the aged ,widows,orphans and mentally deranged people.You have really touched so many people,and this is the essence of Life.A question that i keep asking myself is what will I be remembered for when I am gone from this earth, because one thing is sure,death is certain for all mortals no matter how long or short the duration may be.May your soul find peace with your creator.Adieu

May you find rest in the bossom of the Lord Jesus Christ

Ojo iku,ojo eru, but for those that slept in Christ Jesus,death has been swallowed in victory

Nigeria under APC has become something else.The worsening insecurity in the land is something to really worry about.Federal govt should seek for international support to fight these issues. These bokoharam insurgents hiding under the name 'bandits'have infiltrated our land and are tactically achieving their aim,they said Western education is Haram, look at how students are being kidnapped and abducted in hundreds thereby increasing the number of 'out of school'children.Its alarming how students can be kidnapped in hundreds with no interception,and no intelligent sources.

May God save us.no value for human lives in Nigeria again

Govt has really failed in securing lives and property as it's primary responsibilities.Yorubas need to wake up from their slumber and act now, because these evil men have infilterated our land.We need action.Our traditional leaders should rise and defend our land,they should not wait until their palace is burnt or they are kidnapped.There is fire on the mountain

Prank gone wrong...thank God he escaped unhurt. Nigerians are not smiling, and looking for whom to transfer their aggression

Painful....what a barbaric act .May God console the affected families

A man's death from flames ignited by candles and perfumes during a prayer session has prompted a warning from one of Nigeria's biggest churches.

The Celestial Church of Christ, whose members wear white one-piece garments and attend services barefoot, is popular in western Nigeria but has branches across the country, and abroad.

Kayode Badru had been praying with lit candles during a privately organised session for him at the church in Lagos last Monday when the incident happened.

Church elders had been praying for Mr Badru and it is thought that the priest leading the session then sprayed some perfume on him, which was ignited by a nearby candle.

The flames quickly engulfed Mr Badru who had been wearing the white garment of the church, which is usually made from flammable fabrics such as cotton or silk.

He died in hospital on Thursday from the burns he sustained.

Imolemitan Ojo, a senior pastor of the church, told BBC Pidgin that the priest who led the prayer session and some other elders who were present had been arrested by the police.

Prayers in the church are usually conducted with lit candles and perfumes, symbolising light and good aura.

Members usually source their own perfume which they take to services but it can also be bought within churches.

The perfumes are not intended to be sprayed excessively and members are advised to dilute them with water. It is not known if this was done with Mr Badru.

A statement released by the church reminded members that "spiritual perfumes intended to be sprayed, sprinkled, or poured with a lighted candle should be diluted with water".

"The spraying or pouring of undiluted Spiritual Perfumes in its volatile state with a lighted candle is an imported culture not originally part of the tenets of the Celestial Church of Christ," the statement said.

Mr Badru, a rich Nigerian living in Dubai, had reportedly visited the church, where he is a member, for a thanksgiving ceremony.

One report said he was in Nigeria for the graduation ceremony of 40 people he sponsored to attend an art and technology academy.

Founded in 1947 by Rev Samuel Biléhou Oshoffa in Porto-Novo, Benin, the Celestial Church of Christ says it now has branches all over the world.
