More than 200 Muslim youth volunteers are part
of those protecting Christians during church
services to celebrate this year’s Christmas in
Kaduna, says Pastor Yohanna Buru. Buru, a cleric of Christ Evangelical Church, Sabon
Tasha, Kaduna South, disclosed this in an
interview with pressmen in Kaduna. He confirmed that over 200 Muslims were at his
church to help protect the faithful from any
attack during the church service. According to him, the feat is the first of its kind
after the series of crises that rocked the state in
recent past.
“I really appreciate their love and care,’’ said the
cleric. Buru said the essence of that was to protect the
Christian worshippers as part of effort to
strengthen peaceful co-existence between Muslims
and Christians in the state. The pastor expressed happiness over the
protection given to them by the Muslim brothers. He noted the initiative was an indication that
peace has come to stay in the state, saying the
measure will strengthen a lasting peace between
the two religions. He also prayed God to continue to bring about
peace in the country the country, praying that
other citizens would emulate the gesture. He urged Nigerians to learn to live in peace with
one another irrespective of ethnic or religious
differences.
The cleric said that peace was a major panacea
to the positive development of any nation. (NAN)

this proves nothing malicious.

The decree was SPECIFICALLY targeting those who spread FALSE news about government offivials or government.

In fact, we should add such to our constitution so those lazy 20 kobo journalists that publish whatever news the highest bidder wishes Nigerians to read can sit up.

We need factual news, the likes that have been thoroughly investigated before being published, not the useless akara sellers gossip that passes as news in our tabloids

false...who dictates d falsy nature of dis news?

There is not a single verse in the bible that says
Jesus (peace be upon him) was born on the 25th
of December. There is not a single verse in the
bible that says anything regarding “Christmas” or
“Santa” itself. There is not a single verse in the
bible that Jesus declares to be God.
God does not need eat, Jesus did. God does not
sleep, Jesus slept. God does not pray, Jesus
prayed. God is independent, Jesus is dependent
as he prayed. God is All Knowing, Jesus has
limited knowledge and is not all knowing.
Jesus prayed, Muslims pray. Jesus fasted,
Muslims fast. Jesus kept a beard and so do
Muslim men. We love Jesus (peace be upon him)
he is our role model. Even his mother Mary who
we Muslims call her as Maryam she wore a scarf,
full loose veil which Muslim women wear because
both were Muslims.
Jesus (peace be upon him) came with a simple
message, to tell his nation to worship One God
without any partners. Bible has been edited
several times, there are so many versions and
contradictions. God sent down another Prophet
who was called Muhammad (peace be upon him)
he came to mankind not just one nation. This is
the last prophet with the last revelation as God
said he will protect this book from being altered
and changed. This book is the Qur’an till this day
it has never been changed or altered.
We invite you to look further and investigate
Islam. Islam is not just another religion. It is the
same message preached by Moses, Jesus and
Abraham. Islam literally means ‘˜submission to
God’ and it teaches us to have a direct
relationship with God. It reminds us that since
God created us, no one should be worshipped
except God alone. It also teaches that God is
nothing like a human being or like anything that
we can imagine.
The concept of God is summarised in the Qur’an
as: Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute.
He does not give birth, nor was He born, and
there is nothing like Him*. [112:1-4]
Becoming a Muslim is not changing or losing
your Christian identity. But it’s going back to the
original teachings of Jesus. Guidance ultimately
comes from God. We ask God to guide us and
you. God says:
And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said,
“O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger
of Allah to you confirming what came before me
of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a
messenger to come after me, whose name is
Ahmad.” But when he came to them with clear
evidences, they said, “This is obvious magic.” (Al
Qur’an 61 : 6)

because of people like u, buhari must make dis declarartn! Weere!?!!

experimentist:
Nonsense Bishop! Nowadays any fool can pick a mic up and yarn bullshits.

i pity u! Y are u defendin Buhari, dis is a simple request for a sane mind...its too small a request to cause agument! If Buhari get free mind..he shud make dat declaration!

IN 2001 at an Islamic seminar in Kaduna, Buhari
was given an opportunity to choose between
Nigeria’s secularism and fundamentalist Islam,
this is what he said; “I will continue to show openly
and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia
movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria”, he then added that; “God willing, we will not stop the
agitation for the total implementation of the
Sharia in the country”.Buhari an advocate of
sharia was chosen to address that seminar in
Kaduna because of his advocacy and he did not
disappoint because he is one of the boardroom voices of Sharia. The boardroom advocates emboldened the weak
minded and impressionable youths and female
suicide bombers. Those who prepare such
extremist point to such “moral exemplars” that
dying for Sharia is a worthy cause. It does not
matter if one is campaigning by selling democracy to unsuspecting non-Muslims like a
salesman selling snake-oil, they all have a common
goal but different modus operandi. The
boardroom voices, the elite prepare breeding
ground for the field-soldiers, they prepare the
ideological diet upon which the adherents feed. Today many Nigerians are concerned that our
society has degenerated to a point where people
wake up on a particular day and go to public
places like a market to kill their neighbours with
bombs. But these bombers did not just wake up
one day to take such a fatalistic decision. The suicide bomber dies for a cause after a lengthy
ideological and psychological diet . A cause he or
she has been made to believe to be a worthy
cause, It is immaterial that the suicide bomber has
chosen a course of action different from the other
advocates of the cause, but they have similar objectives, to spread Sharia to every corner of
Nigeria, and in that goal, Boko Haram and other
fundamentalists have many elite who have
created a breeding ground for their actions in
Nigeria. General Muhammadu Buhari Other elite voice who have helped to ensure the
social and political mobilization against Nigeria’s
secular status, and who create a breeding ground
for groups like Boko Haram include, former
governor Kure of Kaduna state who was also in
the same Kaduna seminar with Buhari. At the aforementioned seminar, the then Governor Kure
urged all council members to ensure that the
Nigerian constitution was “upgraded” in all states
to ensure that the basic objectives of the Sharia
legal code was achieved all over Nigeria. He
gained the support of other elite such as former minister of Agriculture, Alhaji Sani Zango Daura,
as well as emir of Suleja, Alhaji Awwal Ibrahim,
who refused to pay a condolence visit to the
Suleja church that was bombed by Boko Haram
on a Christmas day until political pressure was
put on him. These boardroom voices of sharia have not
concealed their position. It is only other Nigerians
who have tried to polish their position to make it
an acceptable perception for political convenience,
but the advocates for the spread of sharia to
every facet of Nigerian life have never disguise their goal. For instance, a very notable advocate
of Sharia, Senator Sani Yerima, former governor
of Zamfara state, robustly defended his
advocacy and had the support of several other
elite with similar conviction in the Senate when the
status of women was being debated. To make his sharia values clear, Yerima who had earlier
defended his marriage to a 13 year old in
contradiction of Section 21 of the Child Welfare
Act told the Senate that, when a woman is
married at whatever age even at 11years, she
instantaneously reaches the full age of adulthood. This is not very different from recent laws
purveyed by ISIL which justified enslavement of
girls, including their defilement if they are non-
Muslim captives. This is the type of ideological commitment that
Buhari will bring to the presidency if voted in. It is
quite easy to state on television and radio
interviews that he is bound by Nigerian laws as if
its only when he occupies the office of the
presidency that he will be bound by the law of the land. When he becomes head of state who will be
there at those quite moments when this values
influence his decisions on official matters? He has
made his ideological position quite clear when he
stated in the Kaduna seminar that the spread of
Sharia is ‘’a legal responsibility which God has given us, within the context of one Nigeria to
continue to uphold the practice of Sharia
wholeheartedly and to educate non-Muslims, what
remains for muslims in Nigeria is for them to
redouble their efforts,educate muslims on the
need to promote the full implementation of sharia law”Buhari has made his advocacy for sharia
clear, those who wish to vote him to power can
either accept it or pretend that it does not matter,
just as those who said naively that Yerima was
harmless later expresed shock when he eventually
stopped the Senate from reviewing our laws on the legal age of a woman and we are today stuck
with his sharia version. As Boko Haram has demonstrated viciousness, so
shall we will come to find that Buhari, a promoter
and advocate of Sharia as president of the
federal government of Nigeria would direct the
thinking of his adherents and their attitude to
governance. This would spell doom for all non muslims in Nigeria that Gen.Buhari said should be
educated to accept and embrace sharia now
being enforced by Boko Haram through violence
and killings.

Ungaurded comments. Handicaps shouldn't live and survive in ur world. Sorry, u are also intelectualy handicapped.

nobody is sayin dey shud die..since they cant fend for dem selves and since there is no provision for their welfare...let dem go back home where dey av relatives!

teekay12:
Whether or not he's lame isn't the issue. Is he a Nigerian? That's all that should matter. Lame people don't have their freedom of movement cut short because they lost some limbs. They're human beings too and you'd do well to remember that.

they cant survive like u and i...all am sayin if provisions cannot be made for dem here..let dem move back to their home town where dey av relatives!

teekay12:
So only able-bodied people have fundamental human rights in 'your nigeria'? You're part of the problem.

my point dey shouldnt be on d street! Aw can a lame man move frm d north to lagos? If nt to b exploited or cause anoda tin

duni04:
Wonder how much Mr Gumi will b paid for this

and aw much dem pay u?? Lolz..mofos! So he cant exercise his rite to speak freely? Una oga spirit don dey enta una body

Are they all handicaps?? If yes they shud return home no time! But if nt then its an abuse of their fundamental rites as citizens of Nigeria(all dis northerners self, we no knw which one of dem b nigerian(chadian and nigers are too much self)

mikolo80:
he who says 'it cannot be done' should stand aside for the person who is ready to do it. Cos ur'e used to incompetence should not mean everyone enjoys it with you. Go to china and see how much they've achieved in the time it took pdp to embezzle over 16billion dollars to produce -1000mw.no be wetin you produce you go distribute and transmit,but hey its a democracy and you have a right to suffer for another 4yrs if we dont get the general into aso rock

china's growth came as a result of efforts of all nt jst one person! So wat advice has ur Apc offered d present admin if they so care abt d nations growth?? None and all dey bring is distabilization in all fronts jst to bad-name d presidency! Dude nobody is forcing u to vote for Gej!

tipzysama:
y should a Nigerian soldier die 4 a country dat sends him to fight when he's outgunned not taken care ,where dere is nothing to boost his morale,where government say dey spend millions on d military but he hardly get to eat twice daily and u compare him to a US marine who is commended by his president almost everyday.Obama visited d middle east last year or so without announcing d soldiers where so glad to c him, dats a morale booster but here u send soldiers to fight and even d minister for defence can't visit dem talkless of commander in chief.
please check d basics b4 comparing

soldiers are nt civilians..they are meant to live in ash conditions, God forbid u re lost in battle for days..se u go dey find fried rice wey u one chop? Dats y its d military, millions are spent on roads everyday dont we av potholes on dis road? Millions dont gurantee disaperance of dis problems..if u cant handle hunger, low welfare and oda vices u av no biz in d army! Army no b boys scout

ooshinibos:
i think its a good thing to care about your country ..we nigerians should have the same mentality ...we dont care about any attack on our country ..see the state of Naija ..security wise , we the society at large dont care of naija ..and so our leaders dont bother too ..because they dont love naija ..hence they milk the country dry and take all the wealth outside to another country ..

an average american marine wil die for their flag!! But ours run at d smallest sound of gunshot! If u cant die for ur country u av no biz in d army! So also d citizens, we done d worse damage to our country, now even our kids av no hope in dis nation...because of our actions! We wil get there

continuity brings stability! Baba use ur drugs very well o..leave all dis kids and grndpas alone, pls die in peace u ve played ur part in either slowin us down or movin us forward
