I don't understand the focus on christians. Churches are still closed and people going to the markets, malls beaches are not only Christians. When we tell them to appoint smart people into key positions, they'll refuse. You see what nepotism has caused?

This man is a learner. You are a Muslim, a lot of Islamic clerics have violated the directives and you kept mute only to give a press statement saying some Christians are exhibiting reckless confidence. Even if you are right, giving that we live in this kind of environment, you are suppose to exercise caution or get a Christian that agrees with you so say it.

Just look at a man who was elevated by God like Mordecai to defend the cause of the christians, spewing out an unfounded claim in a very base and deraogatory manner against the same set of people. Even Muslims in their dreamland wont castigate their faith in such a bbranzing manner as this man has done just to get along. Reason they sometimes don't take us seriously as we lack coherence in our deliveries and posturing.

Your trust in ignorance is mind-blowing.
Madagascar cure was just an advertisement and they don't actually have any cure.

Madagascar has recorded 33 deaths out 3250 positive cases - 1% death rate
Singapore has recorded 26 death out of 44,983 cases -0.05% death rate
Bahrain 98 in 29,367 -0.33% death rate
Ghana 122 in 20085 - 0.6% death rate
Nepal 35 in 15956-0.2%
All these countries do not make any claim of having a cure.


Uzbekistan, ivory coast, Palestine, Kazakhstan, UAE, Kuwait and many more countries have lower death rates than Singapore.

So just don't talk out of ignorance of you have to type


Thanks for pointing that out for him. The level of ignorance a lot of folks display here is absolutely alarming. You begin to wonder if they live in a cave in this internet age. Madagascar that is currently with worse case of the pandemic and has currently shut down some part of their country!

This is purely an example of testing God. Christ warned the us not to put God to the test. If you disrespect NCDC, a government agency, you're disobeying Christ because they're instituted by God himself. Be very careful please

You can tell him (Righteousness89) that again... so-called Christians who pick one part of scripture and focus on it but ignore the other parts of scripture that prove them wrong. Did Romans 13 not tell us to obey those in authority because God allowed them to be there? Did Jesus Himself not tell the Pharisees to give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar?
The only premise on which a Christian should oppose the government is when the government tells you to do what opposes what God has said - like don't preach the gospel again; don't mention the name of God again like the Pharisees told the disciples & they refused; bow before a strange god like Nebuchadnezzar told Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego and they refused; etc.

NCDC has not told us not to preach, or worship God, or bow before a strange god, etc..all they said is religious centres can't open because of virus transmission issues, but rather worship and pray to your God at home. How is that evil? Even some prominent men of God have decided not to open their churches until things die down, is that wrong?
Personally, worshipping and praying to God at home has helped me in my communication and relationship with God. In the course of these past 3 months, God has instructed me on areas of ministry that He wants me to carry out and I have started. If I were busy with church as a leader that I am and other secular activities, I would never have heard God speak to me.

For me, I am a Christian, and will stand by what the Bible as a whole says - obey those in authority.
Mind you, some of the people forming Holier-than-thou here and saying they will not obey the government & church should reopen may be sinning against God in other aspects...how many of them pay their tax, or even their tithe, how many love their neighbor as themselves?? Like my pastor would say, There will be surprises on the day of judgment!

Continue to talk nonsense. You can only open your dirty mouth against the Christians.

I live in Lagos and I can authoritatively tell you that above 85% of the mosques have not stopped their call for prayer EVERY MORNING.
If you want to prove me wrong, tell me where you live and you would be bursted with facts.

Investnow2017:

All they do is shout Jesus up and down they don't study their Bible, and sadly the gullible ones think once you call Jesus a million times that means you are a Christian. It is so pathetic. God's word clearly says we should respect and obey government authorities if the laws they impose do not conflict with God's law. But when you are overzealous and ignorant you will put up foolhardy confidence and with that you think you are closer to God whereas you are actually an agent of Satan determined in your foolishness to draw away simpletons into destruction.
Watch and see if he will listen to you. Their hearts are seared as with a hot iron, irredeemable. And none of them can refute the Bible portion clearly cited by Boss, rather they make ignorant and arrogant statements laden with stark foolishness.

I agree with you!

LMAO. I don't go around looking for front-page threads just so I can comment Jesus mumbo jumbo even when it requires a practical view instead of spirituality. I have threads I view consistently that are either about work or money, then maybe the regular news which I rarely comment on. I've used nairaland to earn money and help people earn money.

Boss Mustapha is a christian. I get the point he was trying to make. He emphasized the need for carefulness quoting from the book of proverbs. In the same service he attended the way people were dancing almost hugging themselves during the service may have provoked him.

Unfortunately, He didn't mention any specific instance where christians flouted the NCDC rule? Let's not jump at defending people who batter our faith to increase the value of their pay cheque just to save face. Generalisation is bad and evil and synonymous with stereotyping, and must be discouraged in totality. .

Read the news again please. Boss did not go against having faith or confidence. What he advised against is reckless confidence, and he rightly quoted an apt Scripture to support his point. If I may ask, do you stand on RECKLESS CONFIDENCE to prove that you are a Christian?

Thank you.

There is so much anger in the land that people aren't listening to what is being said anymore. They just react based on who is speaking.

Fellow, a Christian, was addressing Christians in a Christian forum, rightly for that matter. But the anger of Nigerians have clouded their ability to listen to reasonable statements.

Let us show our confidence in Chris and like some silly people have done, let's enter a cage of lions and confidently declear we will not be harmed by them hingry lions because we have faith in Jesus.
