Today is sunday and like every other sundays, people went to church. Some are still in church right now. Lol... I was in a barbing saloon when this thoughts came to me. I did not think it up, it actually happened.

I was in church on a thanksgiving sunday. First sunday of the month and as it was the culture of the church, testimonies were always shared. Well, I had no testimony but was listening intently to testimonies being shared by others.

This beautiful looking woman came outside, beaming with smiles. She started an Igala song. Wait... I understand Igala.

"E un ko ojo ma she no I de no.."

Translated..

*anything that God did not do does not exist*

That wasn't the exact song she sang but my mind was, this should be the right song for your testimony.

"Praaaaaiiiiissssseeee the Looooorrrrdddddd"

She was jumping and as it was expected, we all jumped with her. I was saying in my mind.

"E be like say this woman don discover oil for her family land oo."

She danced to the offering basket and sowed a seed. As was my custom, I did not look at the amount but the way her hand was moulded, I knew she had dropped something big.

"Brethen... The Lord is good"

We all screamed...

"All the time"

She shook her head and her voice turned sorrowful..

"I have a neighbour who has been fighting and quarreling with me. I don't reply her"

Hmmmm... My mind was on the alert.

"One day, she something happened..."

What happened?

"She said she was going to deal with me. That in fact, I am going to die..."

Red alert!!

"I replied that if God says it is not my time, then I'm not going to die. If fact, she would be the one to die. My neighbour is one that does fetish things"

Informative...

"Just yesterday morning, her room was opened after she did not wake up to open it. Her mutilated body was seen lying on the bed. Her intestine was practically falling out of her stomach."

Damn..

"I give God all the glory. Praissseee theee Lorrrddddd"

The church erupted into a thunderous applause. Me? I was too shock to clap. Why would my neighbour dying an agonizing death be my testimony?

Well, we all think differently. As for me, some testimonies should be banned in church. That's why I like it when the testifiers are taken for counselling before they are allowed to testify.

What's your take on this

BENIN — CRISIS is brewing in the leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, as members from the Niger Delta, under the aegis of Global Peace Relief Initiative, led by Prophet Jones Erue, yesterday, faulted President of the association, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, over what they described as the unacceptable comments made against them, following their attempts to reconcile the G-7 governors with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

In a statement by Prophet Erue, the Niger Delta pastors described Oritsejafor’s comment to the effect that CAN was apolitical, as laughable, accusing the CAN President of getting involved in politics of calumny and name dropping.

They said that they might not be as rich as the CAN President or own a private jet, but were men of integrity.

The statement said: “We are disappointed that a leader could sit and watch his two children fight while the rest of us suffer only to come and blackmail those who take their time to seek solutions to the crisis.” They warned that no amount of blackmail or intimidation would deter them from the noble mission of rescuing the country from imminent collapse.

“It is surprising that Pst Ayo Oritsejafor, the CAN president will handle issues of immense gravity and national importance hastily, with levity and without discretion. The first and easiest thing to know about a man is his name; it is a pity that the CAN president does not know the name of the group of clerics he is addressing nor their affiliates.

“Expecting him to have minimal knowledge on what they stand for, will be tantamount to exerting too much pressure on his aging gray matter. We are begging his aides and personal assistants to do their job well and stop exposing this great man of God to disrepute.

“These eminent clerics and their affiliate, Global Peace and Relief Initiative have taken on a laudable project of consulting across all interest group and stakeholders concerning the Nigerian project. Nigeria is the only country we can call our own and as fathers we cannot fold our hands and watch intolerance and impunity destroy our nation.

“To place the records straight, we have not made promises to any persons and we have not used the name of CAN, we have an affiliate whose mission and vision best defines our activity. We are noble men and do not rail accusation on authorities.

“It is a pity that the handlers of the CAN president have allowed miscreants, to drag him into a show of shame, misinformed the press and over laboured the corporate affairs commission with a futile search.

“If we may ask, whose registration were they authenticating? A group they barely know its name? This is a faith based Non Governmental Organisation, NGO, with memberships spread across the nation. Our main business is advocacy, conflict prevention/ resolution and facilitation of peace projects whether individual, group, organisation or government. We create a good soil for developmental projects and people oriented policies to thrive

“For the CAN president to say CAN is apolitical is laughable, as the same president is involved in politics of calumny and name dropping. “The CAN’s statement as reported by the media does not represent the facts on ground but a mere imagination. Calling names at this critical period of the nation’s political development does not represent the responsibility expected of a great leader of Pastor Ayo Oritsejeafor’s capacity”

“We want to place it on record that the Bishops and Clerics in this body may not own private jets but are men of unquestionable character, dependable leaders, and stewards of peace and holders of reputable degrees. The leader of this group Prophet Jones Ode Erue is a highly respected both in political and religious circles. Many people have benefited from the peace initiatives by this great icon since 2002 till date.

“When men lack purpose and relevance, rather than encourage others with vision and purpose they become detractors of good and well meaning Nigerians. “ We are disappointed that a leader could sit and fold his hands and watch his two children fight while the rest of us suffer only to come and blackmail those who take their time to seek solutions to the crisis.

The forum wishes to state emphatically that no amount of cheap blackmail or intimidation can deter it from this noble mission to rescue the country from the imminent collapse which can be averted. “We are duty bound to restore peace and unity to our dear country, Nigeria.

” We will continue with the ongoing consultation with all stake holders in the task of putting Nigeria back to the road, to national unity and development” stated.
