Its nice that he cleared the issue and I have responded to the intelligent response he gave.

This christians and their propaganda against Islam. When I have a friend, a jehova witness who refused to enter a church during a wake keeping for his late dad and nobody raised an eyebrow. The rants in the message specifically emphasized the consular not attending wake keeping in person, all other allegations are just there to get people's sympathy.

As a muslim i would rather have a muslim rep come to mosque to a christian who does not understand my religion well and may end up unwittingly hurting my feelings. I could remember one incidence when Obasanjo generated furore among muslims when he was televised wearing shoes in a mosque. That action was seen as a desecration of a place of worship. Obasanjo could not have known that since he's used to entering church with his shoes on. Such awkwardness could have been avoided if he had simply sent his deputy. Muslims have aversion to any non-muslim entering their place of worship except when there is genuine need. Also, muslims are discouraged from entering churches, synogogues, temples and shrines if there are other alternatives.

No, Christians must be bowed to, no matter the inconvenience and awkwardness

aribisala0: I just wonder whether we would be having the same outrage if an Igbo Christian refused to attend a service for Amadioha!!! grin

Did GEJ attend the Mosque service for his boss?

The key issue is whether he engaged with the bereaved and discharged his duties/functions to them. Some people choose Not to attend religious ceremonies of ANY kind. That is their right and CANNOT preclude them from public office.

He has presented his own side of the story and we have no choice but to believe him since it is the duty of the accuser to PROVE OTHERWISE.

i could have ignored this post but where is the Humanity in the Consul whatever, The 1st Place the holy Prophet Muhammad visited and hope to get refuge when he was being Persecuted the people of Saud was Abyssinian (present day Ethiopian) and who did he visit, A Christian King, There is nothing wrong with a Muslim visiting a church especially under these Circumstances it is not as if he is going there for praise and worship session...Thank God for the kids of Christians and Muslims and Atheist i roll with, non are extremists..

I bliv a yoruba or an igbo christian wouldn't have hesitated to reach across to the deceased family if they were muslims.
Evryday these socalled reps kip slipping cocks in us, showing us hw selfish they can be and telling it all to those who can read in between the lines that they want a break-up, I wonder why this country still holds.
I as a catholic hav never been to a mosque b4, but I remember paying a visit to one -Yewa north Central mosque ayetoro for presentation of gifts et al when my batch corps members were abt to passout..Altho I waited till their prayers was over befor I ws ushered in with my team. I was the C.L.O of that Zone, I represented all the over 300 corps members in that zone.. Muslims, Christians, Atheists, Paganists et all. Yet this baga is there feeding on tax payers money, living ayé-foreign and playing the religion card, may Dionsyus wrath befall him. IDIAT.

The action of the Consul-General is disgusting. He is ignorant of his diplomatic responsibilities. This is one of the appalling effects of mediocrity in public service.

But the point is he has denied making such a statement. So, its either you will provide categorical proof that he did, or I will just have to assume that you're a bigot and an hypocrite.

No doubt, mr. Habu is a religious gizmo, i believe that a moslem can visit the church for prayers or any other activity if he/she so desires, it is not a crime or sin.

Likewise, christians can visit the mosque if they desire. Afterall, it is on record that the late pope of the catholic faith and former president of vatican city, pope carol wajtila (pope john paul the second) once visited the mosque. How did it happen.

In the middle east uprising, christians were targeted and massacred by the moslems. When the former pope (may his soul rest in peace, amen) heared about it, he decided to visit iran. Everybody pleaded with him not to go because of fear of his life but he refused.

He got to iran on friday, and the president asked him to wait in the hotel till after their prayers but the pope refused, saying that all his life, he has been praying and that he want to go to the mosque and pray with the president.

They went together, when they got to the mosque, the president removed his shoe and pope did the same. Mr. President folded himself on the ground and pope did the same. Mr. President stood up and prayed and pope did the same.

Within minutes, the news spread all over iran that pope john paul the second is in the National mosque, praying. It is unbelievable.

The news spread like wild fire, and people started gathering in the mosque, christians and moslems alike. People filled the mosque and the sorrounding compounds, but they were still comming. The streets were filled up and the police were invited to barricade the roads and stop vehicles so that people can sit on the roads and worship the Almighty God through Jesus or Mohammed.

That was the end of the uprising and the killings and when pope john paul died, the whole world, both christians, moslems, judaism, and pagans cried with one voice saying ''MAKE HIM A SAINT NOW''.

Mr. Habu should make himself a saint by serving the people.

For those crying that mr. Habu be recalled. The question is, who will recall him. Your guess is as good as mine........... Chuks writes from Enugu, Nigeria.

Who are you placing a curse on? Be slow to wrath brother to avoid heaping curses on your head. 'Do not recompense evil for evil. Vengeance is mine says the Lord'. The Consul-General erred. He has denied his earlier statement. Lessons have been learnt.

We will all wait and see what the Nigerian President will do.
Somebody said sometime ago that President Jonathan was the most insulted President in the world!
Why not, if issues like this happens, and he does nothing about it.

Obviously he is not a true muslim. Because Islam doesn't teach such. He is a northerner and an extremist for that matter. He should be investigated he could even have ties with boko haram. This is a big shame to our govt to have such senseless goat in govt. Animal, may he also suffer the same tragedy

Nigeria is never one, with the high level of hate and tribalism...

The Consular should be recall with immediate effect! He is not representing a section of the country, he should go where he can represent a section of Boko Haram.

2mch: Let us respect the man's religion. It takes a liberal christian or muslim to do this. If he sent a representative with a personal statement then no harm done.

you must be a FOOL to make that kind of statement, are u aware that none of activities where held in a church? even if it was in a church he could have sent someone to represent him and not deliver a message that "he received their letters.
I'm sure you are a Muslim (hypocrite). if the sultan of Sokoto dies and GEJ says he didn't go ( or sends his driver - T-shirt on shorts) to deliver a message outside the house that 'he heard he is dead, then leaves, you will say all manner of things in this forum abusing, insulting and cursing GEJ. but because it happens to a Christian its all right - the man acted right RUBBISH!!!!!!!!
Or lets bring it closer home and assume your father was among the that died, i know i will be mad with the Consul-0General.

Advice: lets put ourselves in their position and stop spewing out nonsense.

Your father is the fool for bringing up a bigot. Are they the first people to suffer a loss in America? What obligation is it for the man to show up at all the functions affecting Nigerians. Do you have a brain or is something wrong with you? Outside of his official functions he is not obligated to attend any wedding, funeral or any private function. That is not even part of his job. mumu like you! At the most, send a letter. If he wants to be nice or knows the people he can go in person or send a representative which he did. You guys are nuts for real. Will his presence raise the dead? All this fake outrage is ridiculous. If you make a claim, you better have proof. With the way people are going, it will be better to blame him for their deaths. Kill yourself over the guy, nothing will happen to him. He did nothing wrong. shikena!

It's mandated on him to attend funeral? He is a Consul general not a funeral attendant. After all they are dead he can never bring them back to life.
