These Northern Christians are not wise, Little wonder the Islamists are lording over them.

Will the Muslims accept this same thing if the governor was a Christian??... You and I knows the state would have gone up in flames by now.

IsraeliAIRFORCE: The Governor should apply Solomon's wisdom and handover the church to the other Pastor and not the wolf Pastor that preferred shutting down the Churches.


Sword should not linger in the assembly of God's people.

Here is the cold reason why El Rufai took such a weird deicision.

If you have lived in Kaduna State in the last three to four decades....you would know that there are religious crisis in that state. Sometimes Christians vs Muslims, and sometimes intra-religious.

And yes....Muslims too too sometimes get it from the government....eg Sheikh Zakzakki has had his run ins with both the state and federal government....including getting jailed.

And in 2006...in the wake of a religious crisis in ABU, the university authorities (the VC was a Muslim then) closed the uni, and sacked the headship of the MSS at the school (they blamed them for instigating the crisis)Guy throughout my stay in kaduna.there have never been a time christian cause trouble even the said problem in ABU was being escalated from inside ABU to outside by the moslems. the only question i always myself is that y do the yorruba moslem not always cause trouble like the hausa moslem. It is very rare for Christians to kill one another no matter how angry they may be.


Of course...Christians too have had their share of crisis.

But in this case...this is a crisis that was clearly getting out of hand, it was threatening to erupt , and despite the Supreme Court looking at the case...both sides were gearing for war.

Would it have been nice for El Rufai to sit back, and let things be.....only to get blamed for any carnage resulting from the crisis?

The painful thing about leadership in Nigeria is that whenever a decision is made...you Nigerians read religion and tribe into it. That is how we got GEJ is marginalising northerners, and now...Buhari is marginalising Southerners....and meanwhile....we fight over things that are of no consequence.


One more thing.....Kaduna State does not just close down churches like that.(And yes...there is some anti-Christian bias) For El Rufai to close the church shows that something serious was afoot.

waat u think about us muslims doesn't even affect us!thank u sir

This is my point exactly!
What stops the governor from arresting the warring parties if he feels that they're breaching the peace of the state or community? Is the feuding pastors now bigger than the entire church, the body of Christ?

would he have done this if it were muslims.

sweetgala:
You have missed the mark. Stop and ask yourself beyond the principle of an eye for an eye. What is right ?

Welcome to change a time when religious extremism would be stopped

Elrufai is an islamist. It will be very silly for any Christian to support this act of persecution.
Northern Christians need a much stronger unity, love and more emphasis on evangelism, without which, hardline islamists like Elrufai, et al will always have reasons and excuses to bring down churches and scuttle their spread.

FROM NOAH EBIJE, KADUNA

However, the two pas­tors in the eye of the storm opened up, saying that the initial arrangement of breaking church atten­dance into two sections by the State government to ensure peace should have been allowed to endure, rather than slamming total closure on the church.

In separate telephone interviews with Saturday Sun yesterday, the warring Pastors from Assemblies of God Church in Sami­naka, Reverend Simon Ji­moh and Reverend Haruna Tutu, said peace would only return to the leader­ship of the church when the Supreme Court finally delivers judgement on the issue before it.

Also, closed down is Theological Seminary of Northern Nigeria, (TSNN), Shalom Comprehensive College, and Evangelist Hospital, all owned by As­semblies of God Church in Saminaka

But when these two PASTORS CHARLATANS needed to "sort things out"..... they said it is ONLY the SUPREME COURT that can decide for them! Holy Spirit nor even get mouth inside!

But we all know "its all about the money.... and that ain't somefin funny"!

Can a Christian Governor close down a mosque? Shame on CAN

ok, all those mosques that preach in support of jihad and extremism should also be closed down.

TonyeBarcanista:
The Governor has NO business with the internal wrangling of the Church that is even before the Supreme Court. All he needed was to put security in check and arrest any troublemaker for breach of public peace. What he did amount to infringement. As for Kaduna CAN, it is a BIG shame that they don't understand what is at stake. A more Bigger shame to the two warring businessmen called Pastors

Appareil:
Tonye Barcanista! You need to hear the echo of Barcanistéé when I read out your post and I mentioned you. We have been feeling you on NL.Greetings from Douala Cameroon!
