IgbereTV reports that despite the cancellation of the booked venue for a witchcraft conference to be held in Enugu state, the organisers insist that they are proceeding as planned and will announce a new venue soon. Director of the B.I.C Ijomah Centre for Policy Studies and Research, Professor Egodi Uchendu, made this news available to IgbereTV. He said that the protest and campaign by the Christian Association of Nigeria and Christian students in the University of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka will not deter them from holding the academic conference. “Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right. CAN and others are free to express their opinions just like we have the freedom to have an academic conference on witchcraft”, Mrs Uchendu, a professor of history said. “I’m delighted that the conference is generating the debate it should across the nation. Nigerians should look critically into the subject of the conference and identify how it’s impeding our national existence and personal experience”. She absolved the UNN of blame for the cancellation of the booking for Energy Centre, as venue for the conference, billed to begin 26 November.

She said the centre is owned by the Federal Government and is domiciled in the UNN. Prof Uchendu said; “UNN DID NOT deny us use of Energy Centre. Energy Centre did. Energy Centre is a Federal organ domiciled in UNN. It’s not controlled by UNN. Their decision to deny us their venue may not even be known to UNN”. The conference on witchcraft has generated controversy since it was announced that it would take place in UNN Nsukka.

Students, believing that witches and wizards would descend on UNN, during the conference, printed posters decrying the plan. They were joined by the Christian Association of Nigeria, which escalated the opposition and urged Christians in the South East zone to embark on prayers to dissuade the organisers from holding the conference. Chairman of CAN in the South-East zone, Bishop Dr Goddy Okafor demanded that the programme be called off immediately. Okafor said; “I call on all Heads of Blocks, State Chairmen and other Stakeholders of Christian Association of Nigeria South-East Zone to take up aggressive prayers against the planned convention of Witches and Wizards slated to hold on November 26 at UNN. “This convention is not of God and must not hold in Jesus name. Exodus 22:18 says, ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live’. “I hereby direct, all Christian Churches in South East of Nigeria to take up lamentation and pray against this evil movement in all our churches this coming Sunday. “I also call upon all Christian Campus Fellowship Groups and other Christian Students’ Associations to join in this effort and stand up for JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD against this evil development in South East Of NIGERIA.”

We should do what the Lord asks us to do.

Matthew 24:43 (KJV)

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

its about time Nigerians understudy witches and wizard rather than deny their existence


as for the Christian hypocrites, wike already declared Rivers state a christian state, why not migrate there and let people be and enjoy their nature

Witches holding conference

e good like dat

If you are going to attend, let's gather here please.

----------------
On a serious note, this conference is on witchcraft and not a gathering of witches and wizards. The people standing against its materialization shouldn't even be Christians nor Muslims but witches and wizards themselves. Because apparently a lot of their secretes will be revealed and they won't be happy about this.

"University of Nigeria belongs to Jesus"

I wan join

Make Una take am to FCT where there will be no religious bias. The centre of both Muslim and Christians

Everyone should have the right to divergent views, as long as it within the purview of the law.

We can be too judgemental and sanctimonious at times.

I see nothing bad in an academic discussions on the topic.

CAN and christian students are afraid witches and wizards will descend on the university! So their "powerfull" prayer cannot stop the witches and wizards. The same people who are wont to chant "No weapon formed against me....."! Hypocrites, afraid of a mere academic conference. Mrs Uchendu, you are a woman of courage for resisting these fanatics, but be careful they can resort to the unthinkable. Christians are practicing their religion freely and the fanatical hypocrites want to deny witches and wizard their rights. The witches and wizards must be peacemakers indeed to have kept their cool so far. Shame on the troublemakers. This world belongs to all of us - Christians, muslims, ogboni, atheists, witches, wizards etc.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no wonder

Although it’s an academic event but the reality is that real practioners would attend. What happens in such gathering is that actual rituals are not done because not everyone there is initiated. Usually, basic information is passed and especially since that is not an ideal environment, more like talking about the theory aspect and leaving the practical aspects for practioners.
However, members of certain covens who are present would share invitations and introduction of prospective individuals would take place on the side, must likely without the knowledge of the organizers. Witch craft initiation is always by referrals.
Things might become a little murky if rival groups start acting up especially those who are contesting for supremacy in whatever matter.

In all, don’t except to see flying brooms and boiling cauldrons of spiders and toads because such open event does allow for proper incantations and lacks the materials to enhance the fusion of underworld with the physical.

Wow.

Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right as entrenched in our constitution.

One reason why Nigeria is under developed is because we are more religious than religion.

Please allow the witchcraft to enjoy their right.

Allow them dance like this.

just imagine if it was a northern states that did this to Christians.......


how come we Christians aren't crying Christianisation' of UNN but cry Islamisation when northernerws do something similar


I hate hypocrites

freedom of worship is still a right

Yes na. People need to try other ways this one our prayers are unanswered

Baztardmods:
Mynd44, which one are u witch or wizard?

she is boat of them

I wish this lecture will be extended to ABU Zaria. This is the type of public lecture we need that is very relevant to our current situation in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

Harry Potter things. Abeg all these Christians and Muslims that will never allow anyone to practice their own religion and way of life. At least witchcraft real pass......

How witches will be dancing now.
