Catholic Priest With Loaded Rifle In Church Causes Uproar (photo) by Kemperor: 12:06am On Jan 15, 2017 |
A photo of a military catholic priest ministering at a podium with a rifle strapped to his arms has generated a social media debate. The photo was taken in at the St. James Catholic Cathedral military base in Yobe state at the height of the Boko Haram insurgency. The priest is seen with his Ak47 rifle strapped to his shoulders as he carries out his ministry to his congregation. Some Nigerians reacting to the photo have commended the clergy man for being alert in church. Others however, faulted the priest for carrying a gun in church. They said the priest lacked the courage to believe that God can fight his battles. Another group suggested that carrying guns to places of worship could help reduce insecurity in the country. Where do you stand on the issue, do you think carrying guns to places of worship is the solution to insecurity in the country?

madridguy: It will take us many centuries to get to that stage.... Religion is our sole reason alongside ethnicity and a couple of other countless reasons that a common Nigerian will need to fathom in other to do away with all these barbaric killings and hatred for a particular region or so.... 1 Like |

madridguy: i've many suggestions that it'll need a memo... Tribalism must be eradicated... Religion must also be reduced... like in the case of having different islamic practice and also having different churches with different doctrines.... christians must have a guide and must have one doctrines same goes to muslims... Names: The FG has to recreate a generation with a specific Nigeria's name.. a standard polynym that will make one have a unique identification as a Nigerian.. e.g one must not be identified as a fulani or hausa or yoruba or igbo, ijaw, ibibio, tiv, etc.... just like an english name... or a german name or a french name... I have these few but many unmentioned suggestions to go by.... cant be typing in vain as well.... Not like this will change anything... |

Kemperor:It's only the living that has hope of the future. For those saying that he should exercise faith, they can only say this from their comfort home but when faced with reality, they think otherwise .Some of them may even deny Jesus at gun point not to talk of this menace.Even the Bible says[b] watch and pray[/b] 3 Likes |

pls don't blame the Rev father, he is only trying to protect is ship and him being the Shepherd of if church he won't open his eyes so one lunatic will come in the name of religion and slaughter his church member. Even God will blame him on the day of judgement. so do not blame the priest but blame the FG. 1 Like |

You sha want to create unnecessary panic all because of Oyedepo's statement. Very stale pictures taken in a military camp(most likely), cos they are soldiers, the preacher and the congregation. |
