As the new year closes in on Nigerians, governments have been advised to tread with caution when it comes to contemplating adopting foreign policies aimed at regulating religious activities in Nigeria.

This followed a recent warning by the Ghanaian government to its faith-based organizations against making what it termed alarming New Year predictions or prophesies that it said can cause anxiety, fear, or death. The Ghana police spokesperson Grace Ansah-Akrofi in a statement had said those found culpable would be arrested, a submission that has generated a lot of talking points even in Nigeria

Speaking with Planet News, the Director, of One Year Bible Study – OYBS in Nigeria, Marshal Bernard, noted that it was expedient to be careful in adopting such an approach in Nigeria, to avoid infringing on people’s human rights, not to talk of unnecessarily heating up the polity.

CAN: Bishops at Shetima’s Unveiling Ceremony were Desperados-Rev. Joseph

apc, Bola Tinubu, CAN

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has described Bishops, who attended the official unveiling of the vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Kashim Shettima as selfish desperados.

Vice-President of CAN (19 Northern States and Abuja) and its chairman in Kaduna State, Rev. Joseph John Hayab, said this in an interview with journalists in Abuja.

He said, “The people we saw at the unveiling of Shettima paraded as Bishops are people who did not have enough time to learn how to wear Bishop garments. Take a closer look at their photo and you will see another Nollywood movie.

“CAN wonders why the desperation. First, a story was out claiming to have come from the Chairman of CAN Borno State only to be refuted. Secondly, there was another lie that BAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) and his running mate were on their way to meet CAN President one night. A meeting that was not true and was on a night that the CAN President was in Alabama, USA attending the Baptist World Alliance Conference of which he is the Vice President.

“Another desperation story was that they met Papa Adeboye, which the RCCG later refuted. If Christians are not important why the desperation?

“BAT is free to hire mechanics and other artisans and sew clerical garments for them. An effort that will only add to their many ropes, when the political exercise is over but will not change the need for fairness and justice that CAN is calling for,” he said.

Owo Church Attack, PastorAdeboye

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor, Enoch Adeboye, counters the rumour of asking Christians to buy guns for self-protection in the church.

“Don’t buy guns. You don’t want to kill anybody. We just must make sure that unwanted visitors don’t come to our churches, so don’t go and buy guns,’’ Adeboye said.

Adeboye made this statement while preaching from Mount Carmel, Ifewara, Osun State at the church’s monthly thanksgiving service on Sunday, 2 July.

Furthermore, he cited that Sampson in the bible did not use guns to fight his enemies, rather he used the jawbone of an ass.

“I never asked Christians to go and buy guns. Sampson in the bible did not use an AK-47 to fight his enemies, Samson used the jaw bone of an ass how do you demonstrate that to the children? You show them the jawbone of an ass”.

“What we are saying is that we don’t need unwanted visitors in our church. If the police come and they find the bone of ass they will understand. All we are doing is to demonstrate to our children,” he said.

Additionally, at the July Holy Ghost Service, Pastor Adeboye urged members of the church not to be afraid to attend church programs.
