OchukoisBlack:Machetes are considered weapons so anyone carrying a weapon need not be surprised if arrested and questioned for it. Charms on the other hand, I am not against people carrying charms. It is your government in Nigeria that is against such things. If individuals want to worship them or use them for a fashion statement, that is there individual freedom. |

Kobojunkie: Our lord's prayer is not an incantation? Or many other prayers and poems and letters. Or speaking in tongues? Is it because oyinbo said: "our prayers to our God is not incantation, but yours are"? Please... every religion either Abrahamic, Greek, Yoruba or Chinese have their beliefs (origin story and future hopes), their holy objects (charms, crosses, books, beads, waters, oils), their rituals (crossing of oneself, clasping and holding hands, casting and binding, baptisms/indoctrination) , and their incantations (sorry, prayers). So if somebody believes that by holding the bible (or cross, or beads, handkerchief, olive oil) they are safe or empowered, I don't see how that's different from somebody holding a leather amulet (or wooden figurine, or beads, or palm oil) and using that to feel safe or empowered. |

nextstep:1. The Lord's prayer was never given to by Jesus Christ as a poem or an incantation. It too was instead issues as a command to be obeyed regularly by those who choose to be His followers. When Jesus Christ taught His followers How to pray , this in Matthew 6 vs 5 - 15, He made it abundantly clear that the Lord's prayer is the "How to Pray". And Prayer is meant as direct communication from His followers to there and Father in Heaven, not words said half-heartedly in regular ritual. 2. There are no holy objects in Christianity, not according to Jesus Christ who never suggested any of the objects you have listed there are having any significance in His Kingdom. The eating of the last supper, though a ritual, is meant as an act to be carried out in obedience to law given explained by Jesus Christ in John 6 vs 25 - 45. and in Matthew 26 vs 28 - 30 3. Beliefs and ideas individuals chose to have of objects do not impact the Truth of Christianity as given by Jesus Christ, the Christ in Christianity. |

MrWondah: Ak 47 is not a hunting gun. There are certain guns you cannot have licence to have as citizens. A hunter with charm should be able to pass through protest ground without being arrested by police. |

Love how you conveniently left out the cutlass in possession of an unidentified person at a heated protest scene. NaijaSatanlst: |
Re: No One Should Be Arrested In Nigeria For Possessing Charms by eefeem: 2:25am On Oct 22, 2021 |
In Nigeria, it is an offence to be in possession of a charm. It's against the law. You do not dictate the law, you obey it. PENALTY Imprisonment for 5 years See Section 213(b) of the Criminal Code Act. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: No One Should Be Arrested In Nigeria For Possessing Charms by NaijaSatanlst: 3:42am On Oct 22, 2021 |
pabio: In the eyes of the law/state, it should be treated on the same level as other religious rituals. No religion should be seen as "special". |

Kobojunkie: What way is it carried out, there is only one way like it is done in the scriptures. Which is exactly how it is done in d Catholic Church |
Re: No One Should Be Arrested In Nigeria For Possessing Charms by NaijaSatanlst: 3:43am On Oct 22, 2021 |
harmargedon:Lmao.its for the charms bro. Remember when the DSS detained a cat because they thought that Sunday Igboho turned into a cat?? Yes the police are really that superstitious. |
Re: No One Should Be Arrested In Nigeria For Possessing Charms by ultimateprof: 3:46am On Oct 22, 2021 |
How can a country employ an illiterate to enforce the law and you expect things to be alright? Since vigilantee dey rescue police, na since that time I give up on Nigeria police. |
Re: No One Should Be Arrested In Nigeria For Possessing Charms by Kobojunkie: 4:02am On Oct 22, 2021 |
miketayo:It is most definitely not done in the catholic church the way it was done in scripture. Carefully read Matthew 26 vs 25 -30 and then compare it to the ritual you have in your catholic establishments today. |
Re: No One Should Be Arrested In Nigeria For Possessing Charms by Kobojunkie: 4:04am On Oct 22, 2021 |

Kobojunkie:what of olive oil, anointed handkerchief, prayer mantle and candles? Just a question |
Re: No One Should Be Arrested In Nigeria For Possessing Charms by Kobojunkie: 4:31am On Oct 22, 2021 |
thecommunist:They have absolutely nothing to do with Christianity as taught you by Jesus Christ. All of these ideas, including your anointing, were imported mostly from Pagan religions and beliefs which have nothing to do with Jesus Christ's New Covenant. |

Kobojunkie:You don't know what you're saying. Jesus said do this in rememberance of me. Thats what all christian called holly communion, it was called last supper because that the last supper with the deciples , don't let English language confuse you. |

tollyboy5:Pay attention to what Jesus Christ in fact asks you to do in remembrance of Him in Matthew 26 vs 15 - 30 ■There is nothing "holy" about that command except that which is made up in the minds of men. FYI, men are by default unholy, so also their thoughts ■Your "holy communions" are done in ignorance of the meaning behind the mention the the New Agreement between God and man in the passage. You eat and drink without a clear understanding of what it is you do. ■Even your churches, businesses built to the glory of men and their doctrines and traditions stand against the teachings of Jesus Christ. And what you do in your churches have absolutely nothing to do with Him - Matthew 15 vs1 - 14 |

NaijaSatanlst: Go back and read what you posted again more slowly. He was holding cutlass which is considered a weapon. It seems you have not been robbed with a cutlass before? Do you know how many people were wounded and robbed during the last SARS protest? That Alaye is not innocent, this I have seen. NB: Nigerians are emotional when it comes to religion and very few would think this through without being emotionally derailed thus losing the larger picture. |
Re: No One Should Be Arrested In Nigeria For Possessing Charms by zedegit: 5:31am On Oct 22, 2021 |
ThinkWISELY: All of the above. That Alaye came to either cause trouble or rob. It was reported that thugs came during the last protest and were stabbing, cutting people but none of these "OH YES" members joining the wagon would remember it because Nigerian police is involved. NB: Nigeria police could be wrong at times but not on this case. |
Re: No One Should Be Arrested In Nigeria For Possessing Charms by harmargedon: 5:45am On Oct 22, 2021 |
einsteine:2. The President or, as the case may be, the Governor of a State may by order prohibit the worship or invocation of any juju which may appear to him to involve or tend towards the commission of any crime or breach of peace ,or to spread of any infectious or contagious disease.” here is what the code says, it only points towards wrong usage and not charms in general. That's why it said "any" because juju as a whole are different from one another. |

Kobojunkie: I am guessing you are a Protestant/"Pentecostal"if yes, then it is safe to assume that you have books written by your GO/Pastor/Evangelist etc that serves as a guide to daily/monthly/yearly/seasonal prayers, oftentimes these books a loaded with personal beliefs of the writer and you may have treated these materials as Christian materials. I won't also be shocked to find stickers of various inscriptions proclaiming different prayers that you may have also bought with the believe that it can add value to your spiritual life. If the above is correct then can the above be characterized as Christian practices? However the Rosary is a guide to a series of prayers, which is a collection of different Bible quotations including a recital of the only prayer the Lord Jesus Christ taught his disciples, same way you church may have arranged a series of prayer that come in succession too. Try not condemn what you know little of. |
