I am glad that Father Mbaka of the Catholic Church has finally seen the light and that he has denounced the Buhari regime.
This coming from a man that once supported the President vigorously, even when members of his own flock and faith were being slaughtered, marginalised and humiliated, is cheery news.
Yet there are still many more Church leaders that supported the Buhari government, that sold their souls to the devil and that need to follow Mbaka’s example and recant.
The great philosopher, writer and intellectual Mr. Dante Alighieri once said that “the hottest place in hell is reserved for those who maintain their neutrality at a time of moral crisis”.
To add to this it was our very own Professor Wole Soyinka, the distinguished Nobel Laureate, that said “the man died in him who remained silent in the face of tyrrany”.
I have no doubt in my mind that this is the time to speak out because we are not only in a time of great moral crisis in our country but we are also facing persecution and wholesale tyrrany.
I am making this contribution not out of fear for the plight of the Christendom in Nigeria because I know that, as the Holy Bible says, “the gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church”. It also says “He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps”.
It follows that no matter what the enemies of the gospel throw our way, including one million President Buhari’s, at the end of the day we shall prevail.
I am making this contribution not out of fear or to divide our nation but rather in an attempt to inform the Nigerian people and the world about what is really going on in President Buhari’s Nigeria.
What many fail to appreciate is that the Church and the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ was built and spread by the blood and the bones of the Christian martyrs.
It follows that the more you persecute, jail and kill Christians and the more you subject them to terror, shame, insensitivity and humiliation the more the Church grows.
Where the so-called “great” Christian leaders of Christendom with the mega-Churches and the better known Pastors and Bishops in the land have compromised with evil and have chosen to either side with the enemy or remain silent when confronted with the tyrrany of the state, the Lord will raise other voices to stand up for and speak for His people.
Nobody is indispensible to the Living God, no matter how large, rich and powerful your Church is and no matter how many people you have in your congregation.
Once you have betrayed the faith and joined hands with those that seek to destroy the gospel and persecute Christians in our country you are finished and your end has already been determined by God. It is just a matter of time.
Yet thankfully there are some men and women of God that have refused to be silenced, that have proved to the world that they are not cowards and that have chosen to remain true to the faith.
These are the true believers who have not sold their heritage, faith and future for a mess of pottage. These are the faithful remnant who have refused to sit back silently and watch our Lord and His message being crucified all over again. These are the true saints whose reward is the Kingdom of God.
An example is Pastor Bright Bayo Oladeji, who is a journalist by profession and a Baptist preacher by calling. On the 2nd August 2016 he wrote the following on his Facebook page.
“Where are the Christians who sold the Church? The Islamic agenda is being perfected. Professor Ishaq Oloyede, a prominent Islamic fanatic who said he was not aware Christians are being attacked and killed is now to head JAMB replacing Prof Ojerinde, a Baptist.
Four Muslims were not replaced but left to continue. Out of the 17 offices, 9 new replacement are Muslims and 4 retained are Muslims. 13 out of 17 are now Muslims. NUC, Muslim. JAMB, Muslim. TETCOM, Muslim.
Where are those Christian leaders who sold the Church for a plate of porridge? Where are those telling us Professor Yemi Osinbajo would stand for the Church being a Pastor?
Do they involve him in all these lopsided appointments in favour of the North and Muslims or not? Do we have Christians among the APC leaders? Does Odigie-Oyegun, the National Chairman of the ruling party really belong to the Catholic church?
The fact that Buhari released these appointments the same day that the PUNCH Newspaper published an editorial titled”Buhari’s parochial appointments” (this is a paper that endorsed his candidacy) is a dirty slap on the nation.
To say the least, it is a corruption with impunity. Many are afraid to speak out and are being intimidated by the security operatives. Have we become second class citizens in our own country?”
Pastor Bayo, as insightful and courageous as ever, has asked a pertinent question.
Sadly the answer to that question is “YES”: since Buhari came to power Christians have become second class citizens in Nigeria. We warned our people but they wouldn’t listen.
Nigerians said they wanted “change” and now they must live with it. Every Christian that supported President Buhari and the APC, including some of the most prominent Church leaders, should bow their heads in shame.
As long as this evil continues we will not remain silent and neither shall we be intimidated. No matter how hard they try Nigeria will NEVER be Islamised and neither will our Christian faith be rubbished.
When Christians are treated with respect and dignity and when they are honored in the land that is when we will know that true change has come.
When Yoruba Muslims are allowed to lead their northern counter-parts in prayer in the mosque that is when we will know that true change has come.
When the secularity of the Nigerian state is reiterated and confirmed that is when we will know that true change has come.
When southerners are regarded as being on the same levell as northerners in the affairs of our nation that is when we will know that true change has come.
When the murderous Fulani herdsmen and militias are finally diasarmed and when they stop slaughtering our people with impunity and without any fear of retribution from the state that is when we will know that true change has come.
When Christians are no longer murdered in cold blood in some parts of the north simply for exercising their faith whilst the govetnment turns a blind eye that is when we will know that true change has come.
When Christians leaders are no longer subjected to insults and brutal assault by over- zealous security agents simply for praying and reading the Holy Bible that is when we will know that true change has come.
When the Igbo people are not treated as pariah citizens and when their children are no longer shot in the streets like stray dogs simply because, as a people, they have their own dreams and aspirations and simply because they are protesting against the manifest injustice that they have been subjected to in the land, that is when we will know that true change has come.
When Middle Belters and the northern minorities are allowed to carve out their own identity and when they are freed from the intimidation, harassment, hegemony, genocide, cultural imperialism and slavery of the core Muslim north then we will know that true change has come. Until then the change that the Buhari administration has offered and served to the Nigerian people is nothing but fake. It is a classic case of 419. It is evil. It is wicked. It is nothing but a monuemental fraud.
MR FFK how has your christianship in government helped christendom in Nigeria, as a minister christian how much did you give to christian missionary on mission works,how many local villages have you taken as your mission point,how many times have you gone for envangelism,show me your converts of fellow cabinet members you converted to christian,If you were part of this government will you be saying this.We are wiser now only for the blind gullible nigerians that will fall for your deciet
Femi Fany-Kayode, Its shocking that you think you can still full Nigerians.As Aviation minister in Obasanjo regime we cant point out one achievement of yours except that you were tried by EFCC for stealing.Then you termed it persecution. Then you left to APC and dined with them. When the 2015 election drew near you sold your sweet mouth to PDP. Mystereously you were let off the hook in the money laundry case. You dumped APC and called your being there a mistake. However this turned to be your your greatest eror , because if you had known that APC would win you would have stayed put. Again as Jonathan 's campaign spokesman you soiled your hands with the Arms money. Now you are on trial again by EFCC. Your decision to resort to playing the religious card is funny. If you loved christianity as you claimed mention one deed you did as a good christian with all the opportunity God gave you to dine with the high and mighty. I advise you to face your trial by EFCC and stop distracting Nigerians. We now know better.
If you understood what Mbaka said you can't say that he denounced Buhari. He never said he regreted supporting Buhari.He only advised the President that people are suffering much. Your good friend will always tell you the truth. That you supported somebody does not mean you will not have any rason to advise or criticise the person if you feel he's going wrong insome areas. You ought to salute his courage to rise to the occation to advicse a man he supported. In your time as Jonathan's campaign spokesman you knew it was wrong to collect campaing money from Sambo Dasuki but you did thinking Nigerians will never know. Now you are looking for sympathy from the same Nigerians. Nobody will be deceived again. Face your trial and worry how to prove your innocence, if you think you are.

Useless man whipping up religious sentiments as usual. Muslims and Christians are brothers and we serve one God. We will not allow politicians to divide us any further
So uncle Femi can preach like this? He needs to open a church for the gullible ones who don't know his points are to bring down the country. I challenge him to put on the table for us to see the array of his achievements when in power. You are pot calling a kettle black.
Shame to all the gullible chrisrtians who gave Buhari their mandate, and voted this dullard into power. I never did, because I knew members of the renowned religion of 'piss' only offer shit!
Useless man whipping up religious sentiments as usual. Muslims and Christians are brothers and we serve one God. We will not allow politicians to divide us any further
but muslims said there is nothing like God but allah
I dont know how low this man can get....this should be a record low for him. 90% of northerners are Muslim so how will you expect the appointees from the north to be Christians? Am sure so gullible Nigerians with No brain will fall for this shit. He has tried the tribal card, he as tried the witch hunt card, he as played the herdsmen card, now it's religion?
Ask yourself a question do you think it's possible for someone to tell you, you can't practice your religion in this Age and period? Obasanjo didn't try to christianize Nigerian, Yar Adua didn't try to islamize Nigeria, Jonathan didn't try to christianize Nigeria Now because opposition is in power for the first time their agenda is to islamize the country? Femi is not okay at all
I didn't even bother reading the whole trash. The idïot have started with the religious sentiments again. That is what all politicians does when they are in trouble, Even if he is a Muslim he will do same to appease the religious sentiments of Muslims. I just pity the gullible people always falling for this common ploy.
Its left to politicians to raise the plight of Christians.
Meanwhile the money loving preachers Adeboye, Oyedepo, Adefarasin, Oyakhilome, TB Joshua, Kumuyi and even the mouthy Bakare are silent while they count their money of hard working fooled Nigerians.
God will judge all of una, especially Adeboye that endorsed Buhari by permitting Osunbade Osinbanjo to be Buhari's running mate.
Instead of Adeboye condemning the killings of Christians, he is busy seeking cheap relevance by talking about marriage and women
Useless man whipping up religious sentiments as usual. Muslims and Christians are brothers and we serve one God. We will not allow politicians to divide us any further
Sorry Oga but God and allah are different.
God through Jesus has adopted us, moslems dont have that gift.
Listen to a man explain that we don't worship the same God.
gists: This running-mouth guy still dey talk? I wonder who is listening to this guy
This useless man is trying to cause a dangerious division.Government must not take all these stewpid articles lightly its bad enough to cause religion war
Hear who's talking FFK has turned to a pastor This change is really working. He now has the right to call real men of God cowards and quote Dante just because they are obeying the Bible by not speaking evil of the leader. Christians are not Christians because they go to church, they are Christians because they act like Christ. And I'm sure FFK isn't a Christian because if he is, he must have read Acts 23:1-5, Exodus 22:28, Ecclesiates 10:20 , Romans 13:1, 1 Peter 2:17 and learn how to speak good of his president and not to use the word "Christians" to conceal his fears and proclivity to cause division in this country
Christians are so different from other religious group. because Christianity isn't a religion it's a lifestyle and we don't kill ourselves for political appointment because we know that our stay in this transient world is temporary and our permanent home is in heaven.
You can blame your tribe man Adeboye of Redeemed, he single-handedly gave the Christian vote to Buhari & APC, even though it was known well ahead of time that Buhari wants to islamize Nija and can't stand Christians.
If you notice Adeboye has never condemned the killings of Christians.
The painful thing is that Pastor Bosun Emmanuel was sent by God to warn the Church, yet Adeboye distanced himself from Pastor Bosun Emmanuel.
We can all see that Pastor Bosun Emmanuel was telling the truth and that Adeboye has sold out to Islam for power.
If you haven't already heard Pastor Bosun Emmanuel's warnings before the election here it is.[/size]
Greatfuture: MR FFK how has your christianship in government helped christendom in Nigeria, as a minister christian how much did you give to christian missionary on mission works,how many local villages have you taken as your mission point,how many times have you gone for envangelism,show me your converts of fellow cabinet members you converted to christian,If you were part of this government will you be saying this.We are wiser now only for the blind gullible nigerians that will fall for your deciet
He should not even turn these into a religious fight. Leave Christians out your politcal nonsense.
This guy is the most educated and most outspoken idiot in Nigeria right now! He only sees ALL issues with the corruption-tinted lenses he wears on his brain due to the taste of corruption he's tasted and enjoyed.
Look here mister, the suffering on the land doesn't know tribe, region, party or religion. Infact, the poor north you are trying to demonize are less buoyant than people from the west or south, hence, they feel the pinch more.
The only context you might say the Christians are perceived to be shortchanged is in the area of political appointments but as we all know, 95% of politicians are as useless as shit to the people on the street just like you. Abi, who you epp? What have you achieved as a politicians?
With this jaundiced diatribe of yours, what were/are you expecting? That all Christian leaders begin to preach hate messages or sing anti-government sermons? What are you trying to achieve?
Why are these people this mischievous? Must you talk? Does it mean the only thing these people think about is how to flame up the country? There is more to these people's thinking.
May Almighty God in His infinite mercies reward you according to your thinking. Amen.
Useless man whipping up religious sentiments as usual. Muslims and Christians are brothers and we serve one God. We will not allow politicians to divide us any further
Speak for yourself young man. Yoruba muslims and Christians are friends. We have already been divided by your uneducated president. How gullible and foolish can one be smh
Useless man whipping up religious sentiments as usual. Muslims and Christians are brothers and we serve one God. We will not allow politicians to divide us any further
. Don't mind him. He is full of political nonsense.
