So what you are basically telling us is that, the most important thing on God's to do list in this country, is not to destroy bokoharam who have bombed a few churches, killed christians, and held many Christians in captivity, its unseating Ambode?.

Don’t you just marvel at some people’s stupidity? This one weak me o.

Fashola is the best thing that has ever happened to Lagos... His first term though.

Why did she has to do that? Karma is a bitch

I dey looku, I dey laffu

God has no business with politics

Sometimes, the sins we commited today comes back to hurt us tomorow.

In 2017, their was news of ambode's wife slapping a priest because he didn't give her a preferential treatment during communion session.
The manner in which Governor Ambode handled the situation could be the reason why he would never come back for second term as governor of Lagos state .

Our God is a patient God , he gives enough room for sinners to retrace their steps from sin, and failure to do so would lead to punishment .

Governor ambode instead of apologising to the man of God whom his wife slapped for not giving her a preferential treatment as the wife of the governor , he decided to sack the chaplain, throw his family and properties out of their place of residence .

Did Ex governor Ikedi Ohakim flogging of parish priest in Imo state cross your mind?

Ikedi Ohakim will never ever be a second term governor in Imo state till this world comes to an end , even afte
r he has apologized for his shameful actions .

same fate is about to play out on Governor Ambode's political career if he doesn't retrace his steps because disrespecting a man of God is a disrespect to God almighty .

You Nigerians will always add a religious angle to everything , that's why we are where we are today

Hmm.

omoadeleye:
Yes oo, i still discussed this with someone yesterday

dumb discussion..

Nigerian can be damned religious!

What the heck?

No matter how big you are, you cannot disgrace man of God and go free, Ambode your wife have killed you, her ego don finished you.

Very possible, I believe in karma

The thing tire me

I doubt if the woman actually slapped the priest. Though, the humiliation of removing him as the chaplain and throwing him out of his official residence was uncalled for.

Would you rather prefer we were irreligious?

Karma in Nigeria politics.. I hail thee

Op where is any shread of evidence of ambode wife slapping a priest??
Because this your post sounds so stupìd

Ohhhh...I remember my Facebook post when this incident happened. If this is what God is visiting Ambode for then he is gone...

Ambode's wife was not wise. What would one be doing with preferential treatment and pride in a communion service?

The chickens have come home to roost!

Conjectural musings everywhere you look.

Sacked Lagos Chaplain: CAN backs Governor Ambode, says pastor’s sack in order


L-R: Secretary, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Lagos State, Elder Israel Akinadewo; Chairman, Apostle Alexander Bamgbola and Vice Chairman, CAN Lagos State, Rev. Emmanuel Oguntoshin during a press briefing by CAN at the Chapel of Christ The Light, Alausa, Ikeja, on Tuesday, May 30, 2017.

The Lagos State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Tuesday threw its weight behind the decision of the Governing Council of the Chapel of Christ the Light to remove Femi Taiwo as presiding chaplain of the church.

Alex Bamgbola, the CAN state chariman, told journalists during a press conference in Lagos that the allegation that Mr. Taiwo was sacked because of an incident involving Bolanle Ambode, the state governor’s wife, was “not only untrue but unjust and erroneous.”

Media reports had claimed Mr. Taiwo was sacked for allegedly disrespecting Mrs. Ambode by failing to accord her due recognition during an anointing service on May 14.

Mr. Taiwo received his sack letter on May 15, with a directive to vacate the premises within 24 hours.

PREMIUM TIMES had reported that the chaplain’s problems leading to his removal predated the annointing service incident.

But addressing a press conference at the church premises on Tuesday the CAN leadership in the state said the Governing Council of the church acted within the law to relieve the chaplain of his duties.

Mr. Bamgbola said it was unfortunate that the public had been fed with “a totally untrue” story about an altercation with Mrs. Ambode, adding that the chapel was established by the State Government for its officials and members of the public with a Governing Council running its affairs through a standing Constitution.

He said under the constitution of the chapel, the Governing Council, which reports to the Lagos State Government through the Ministry of Home Affairs, has the legal authority to appoint two officers to run the church who are the Presiding Chaplain and the Chaplain.

“The Governing Council has the constitutional responsibility and authority to recruit and to terminate two officers who run the Chapel who are the presiding Chaplain, who is the senior officer and the Chaplain, who is the deputy. So, the presiding chaplain and the chaplain are officers of the chapel and officers of the government of Lagos State,” said Mr. Bamgbola.



“With this clarification, it should be known by the general public that these two officers who run the chapel are strictly officers of the State Government and they are subject to terms and conditions of employment of the State Government.

“When this matter began, many well-meaning Christians and elders tried to look at things and see how to work on the issue so that it does not get to the point we have seen. Well, the fact is, having investigated the matter carefully and objectively, that is CAN Lagos State, we wish to state here today that the Governing Council that recruited Venerable Taiwo acted within its constitutional authority to terminate the appointment of Venerable Taiwo.”

Mr. Bamgbola addressed the briefing alongside top leaders of CAN in the State.

“In particular and most unfortunate is the accusation of our revered and most responsible First Lady of Lagos State, Deaconess Mrs Bolanle Ambode as being instrumental to the termination of the appointment of the presiding chaplain because of one anointing service,” the CAN leader continued.

“We wish to state clearly here today that this is far from the truth. We want the press to know this and we want to thank all of you because the press has been quite on this matter except a particular paper that has been selling its paper through this matter which is unjust, unfair and does not portray professionalism.



“Deaconess Mrs Bolanle Ambode as far as we know is a true woman of God who fears God and lives a godly live and whom it has pleased God to raise to be first Lady of Lagos State at this time. The error of judgment by the said newspaper is most unfortunate and unfair to her, unfair to the entire Lagos State Government and unfair to the church at large in Lagos.

“We are therefore appealing to the press and the social media to please desist henceforth from publishing and circulating erroneous publication concerning this matter,” he said.

Mr. Bamgbola said the former chaplain was given notice before his from his official residence, but added that it would be inappropriate to start discussing the offence of the chaplain on the pages of newspaper.

He said for now, the CAN leadership has taken over the matter and would resolve it, but urged media practitioners to desist from circulating untrue story to the public.

Also speaking, Michael Adeyemi, Bishop of African Church, Ifako Diocese, the church where the former chaplain was seconded to the Chapel, said the church was satisfied with the position taken so far by CAN.

Mr. Adeyemi had granted an interview to the Punch newspaper saying Mrs. Ambode committed sacrilege and should apologize to the church.

The law of karma, what goes around come around God will never allow his husband for second teams

Neminc:

It'd be much better if we were diplomatic and think logically.

Religion has clouded our sense of thinking.

Why is everybody talking as if election results have been announced?

The way things suddenly turned against Ambode is phenomenal and I won't argue that there is God's hand in this.

Tinubu loyalists for the first time so be 1999 are threatening to disregard him should he endorse Ambode.

Interesting insight.

There is no fucking sin here the only sin here is thinking that tinubu alone has the perogative and total authority to choose a leader for over 15 million Yoruba people.

eluquenson:
NB: Tinubu doesn't care about your religious affiliation nor what transpired between your religious life. He's more concerned about the sharing of political seats, award and contract in Lagos state.

Her sin wasn't political

It doesn't have to be political. But, imagine a supposed man of God, weeping to d being he serves, for d disgrace he was forced to endure.

I followed d story then, n d reverend refused to make any statement to disparage anyone. Even though d whole Anglican diocese, was on his side! There're some pple, u dare not offend.

There is no hope for Nigeria in this generation. Religion has made the average Nigerian stupid.

Since when did Tinubu's godfatherism become God's weapon? Instead of condemning it, see them trying to excuse it as God's will.
