Its a pity!! The editor deserve what he got.

Many imams and alfas have been accused of raping minors even in the mosque, so the question is:

has the editor ever used a cartoon of a man urinating on the quran to buttress his point? The answer is a NO...

That Christians are peace loving doesn't mean we are fools!!!

I have never read a story where worshippers defend an Imam against a criminal act.
I can bet you that the reason these editors were sacked is that there are some fanatics
among the management, nothing to do with Nigeria being a religious country because
media houses get away with everything in Nigeria.
You have never read a story where worshippers defend an Imam against a criminal act.

But you must have read or seen where worshippers defend 'the Prophet' against a critical analysis to the point of killing others. Right?!

He was so ingenious with that artistic cartoon, it best captured the column. In a sane society, that is devoid of dunces like you, the man and his literary material will be appreciated not sacked. Let's forget religion for a while, it is least of our problems.
Did you hear what happened to the man who drew the monkey carton when prince Charles's son was born? Did you also read what happened to the canadian who drew cartoon of Donald trump and the immigrant that drowned? Now this are recent cases,that happened this year.

Lol you lots you come here ,type in the corner of your room with your false stories and spew your ignorance, sane country indeed .

You don't seem to know what "ingenious" means undecided.Let me educate you a little, do you know that in a sane country, that editor to catch a law suit from pastor fatoyinbo? Go figure.

I hope you also remember the bloodshed that happened in the northern part of this country some years ago over a cartoon that was drawn in far away Denmark? If you still think this carton was ingenious after this, then you are very dull.

The moment you use “touch not my anointed” to defend a rapist, you have pissed on the holy book.


A Muslim will never defend a rapist in the name of “touch not my anointed” BS.

A Muslim will fight to defend what he knows is right and he values.

Why will a Christian fight for the Bible when they all don’t follow the Bible or even obey its teachings? Why will they fight for what they don’t believe in?

All they use it for is to defend their criminal ways like “touch not my anointed (rapist)”.

You refused to say the truth, will the Muslims let the cartoon pass? They have killed thousands of people anywhere their faith or Quran has been mocked and that's what the guy was referring to.

You are employed to generate money to the company, customer retention and satisfaction should be on your head. There are other ways he could have made his point without using this cartoon. Just that Nigerian companies have no database or statistics of online and offline readers who follow their organizations. Web Analytics would have done justice to this because the writer will know the number of readers who are Christians, who buy or read Punch Newspaper, location, region and all before putting up what he did.

Punch sacked the Editor because the rapist illustrated in the cartoon is a fellow cultist of the Punch mgt. The cartoon also depicts the symbol of another cult group which is different from that if the rapist and the Punch mgt. So it is a clash of two cult group.

Aside the offensive cartoon, the article violated the journalistic ethic of neutrality and fair hearing. When there is an issue, no matter how emotional you feel about it, at least wait for formal investigations to be concluded and the accused person pronounced guilty by the authorities vested with such powers before taking sides.
Media professionals ought to realize there is a world of difference between social media and mainstream media.

I see this has propaganda against Christian. But nevertheless, I expect punch to suspend the writer and tender their apology to the whole public.

I agree such shouldn't have been published but punch went too far. Even the bible talks about forgiveness. Sure they would have begged for forgiveness. Simple apology would have been accepted. Except punch had wanted them out and saw this as an opportunity.This is just like a case of the parents setting fire on their daughter for having a relationship with an unbeliever. I pray this doesn't affect their future publication.
May the two sacked workers through the mercy of God find help.

my learned brother the story would have been extremely different if it were to be the other way, the ThisDay lady that wrote an article about Prophet Mohammed when Nigeria hosted Miss World beauty pageant some years ago comes to mind. She has to run for her dear life, ThisDay media offices burnt in the North and a Fatwa was placed on her head

Please try and read about sociological, legal and political concepts before you run your mouth.

When you want social media to be monitored, the question of privacy emerges. This is dealt with the Data Protection Act in English law. Do you have a robust data protection act in Nigeria to protect against invasion of privacy?

Freedom of speech is only limited by hate speech or libel or slander.


Freedom of speech does not apply to the contract between an employer and an employee. So the newspapers have every right to sack the editor.
