Dogara Urges Nigerians To Forgive Boko Haram Members by oluwaSmith1(f): 12:28pm On Sep 18, 2015 |
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, has called on Nigerian Christian community, particularly those in North East states to forgive members of the Boko Haram Islamist sect. He stressed that the country could only make meaningful development when Nigerians begin to forgive one another. He noted that although people’s sources of livelihood and churches were destroyed during the fiery days of the insurgents, the Christian community should, in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ, forgive and look forward to better times. The Speaker, who is the first northern minority Christian from the core north to hold the highest political office in Nigeria, made this appeal yesterday in Abuja at the Christian Ecumenical Centre, during the diamond anniversary lecture of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria. Dogara re-affirmed the right of every Nigerian to subscribe freely to any religion of his choice as long as it suits his or her conscience. According to him: “The need for sober reflection is particularly important for us in Nigeria, especially in the North-eastern states of Nigeria, where the terrorist group, Boko Haram, which of late, has been flaunting its association with the world terror group, the Islamic State (ISIS), has targeted not only the Church, but also Mosques, children, women and indeed, the entire society, in mindless terror, death and destruction of all that we hold dear. “The rights of our people as entrenched in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) as amended, to worship and choose their religion has been violated by the terrorists, who left no one in doubt that they want everyone to follow their ways. “What are the lessons for us today in Nigeria? Christians would need to forgive those who, especially in the last six years, have promoted, strengthened and supported the massive destruction that the Church and others had suffered in the hands of the Boko Haram. But, where else lies the footstep of the saviour except in forgiving? History has shown that the blood of saints cannot be shed in vain.” The Speaker called on clergymen to live above board and be actively involved in nation-building, noting that Christian leaders should not look up to the world for leadership. “The Church must never look to the world for leadership; rather, the world should look to the Church for leadership,” he stated. http://dailypost.ng/2015/09/18/dogara-urges-nigerians-to-forgive-boko-haram-members/ 1 Share

Eziokwu? Where do we even start from? Should we start from their unrepentant attitudes or their threats? Not even talking about their killings, bombings and kidnappings. I think they need the forgiveness from God in order to be remorseful and then for the public to have an atom of feelings that can eventually lead to forgiveness.

you can only forgive someone who seeks for forgiveness. are we going to forgive them while they keep on bombing innocent souls? are we going to forgive them while the chibok girls and several other thousand innocent people are stil held in captivity? are we going to forgive them while they are stil planting bombs in the markets? Boko Haram needs no forgiveness for now, unless they turn away from their wicked ways and ask God to forgive them. for now, they stil remain our number one enemies in Nigeria. Dogara, thank you, but we will not forgive them as it stands 41 Likes 2 Shares |

The reality of it all is that as a CHRISTIAN that you prove to be, You must Forgive. There is no two way about it. Even some people are now claiming to be Jews, at least they have forgiven Israel for killing Jesus Christ 1 Like |

Seriously, do our leaders weigh their words before they utter them? Forgive Boko haram for deliberate and wanton destruction of properties and merciless killing of innocent ones: kids, women and aged? Is this guy high on Sapele weed or just plain dumb??! Oh! because he lives in a fenced and heavily secured house and his kids school abroad, right? Is 'forgiveness' going to exist in his dictionary if his family is murdered in front of him and he only manages to escape with the cloth on his body and has to endure endless trekking in the bush with no clear route, hunger, thirst, and other unfavorable elements: with book haram on his pursuit? Honestly, this is the most insulting trash I have ever heard in recent time.. 18 Likes |
