The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has blasted Wole Soyinka for opining that religion will destroy Nigeria if not tamed.

Soyinka was said to have made the statement at a book presentation in Abuja last Thursday.

“I would like to transfer that cry (by President Muhammadu Buhari on corruption) from the moral zone to the terrain of religion. If we do not tame religion in this nation, religion will kill us.”

CAN’s National Director, Legal and Public Affairs, Kwamkur Samuel, in response insisted that religion was not responsible for Nigeria’s problems.

“With due respect to Prof. Soyinka, it is not true that religion is the bane of Nigeria’s stability. No genuine religion promotes killings and destruction of lives and property.

“It is unfair for the Nobel laureate to project religion as a problem when it is the faithful believers that are praying and sacrificing to keep the nation moving,” Samuel said.
“Christianity preaches peace in all its ramifications. I challenge the professor to identify one attack on any community in Nigeria that was reported to have been carried out by Christians.

“Let him show any terrorist group by whatever name that shouts the name of Jesus before attacks or claim they are fighting for Jesus.

“We are sad that the so-called religious killing is persisting because our prominent leaders are not ready to call a spade by its real name”, he added.
He also asked Soyinka to question security operatives, on why some suspects had not been prosecuted.

“Why would a woman will be murdered in cold blood by known neighbours, yet they will be set free without prosecution like it happened in Kano? Nigeria will be far from getting to any solution,” Samuel added.

Soyinka is A bleeping Traditionalist and Atheist !!

One word that perfectly fits

Islam also preaches peace thats why its called Islam

I have said it before that the most dangerous idea of religion is the belief that you have to fight for your God.

While I'd believe that we can live together peacefully as one irrespective of our religious beliefs; Muslim brethren should remind their people that you don't need to fight for Allah if they believe that he is all-knowing, all-powerful and vengeance belongs to him.

The idea of fighting for one's God is like a creature taking the tools of it creator.

Some people from a certain brown roof republic no work at all......

Story for the gods.

How dare you call Islam peace?!!!

You don't seem to have truth and such can never know truth and will never be set free.


If you think Islam is peace, I bet you would never know peace in your life. You would be cursed by PEACE itself from knowing it.

Your hatred for Islam and Muslims has not stopped Islam from growing faster than Christianity. Islam was fully established about 600 years after Christianity, yet the population of Muslims all over the world is near that of Christians. Lies cannot overshadow truth. There are Islamic Terrorist no doubt, but does that make Dangote, Fashola, Tinubu, Rilwan Akiolu, Atiku and billions of Muslims all over the world terrorists?

You hate Muslims, but you all are rushing to Dubai. You hate Muslims, yet you line up in front of Dangote Group for jobs. You hate Muslims, but you wont mind fuccking Aisha, Amina and Rashidat.

The people that chained your grandfathers and exported them to work at slaves in Europe and America were all Christians. Till today, the Africa is backward because of Slave Trade, yet you see Muslims in your dreams.

Those fighting for God are simply brainwashed people who don't know what life offers.

Imale- forcfull understanding,jihadist

CAN won't get it even if it hit them square in the face.. the fact that pastors were preaching mmm shows one of the dangers posed by members of CAN. In CAN myopic mind wole was referring to violence but in fact the manipulative tendencies of pastors who will lie that God told them to increase school fees and no one should question it.

The word "Islam" has been falsely proclaimed by Muslims to mean peace. The word Islam, actually means "submission" to the Muslim god of intolerance and hatred. It comes from the root Arabic word "taslim". In Arabic, the word for peace is only "solh".

Do I have the right to call Christianity a religion of the rapists after reading that a pastor raped a girl?

All terrorist are Muslims but not all Muslims are terrorists. Yes Christianity is 500 yrs older Tha Islam but our population isn't near each other at all. Christianity is about 2.2 billion ppl while Islam is 1.7 billion pp. We hold 3 continents firmly Europe, N/America n S/America while islam doesnt hold any continent at all except for its domination of mideast Asia

How do you know if the pastor is Christian or if he was doing it for Jesus. Did the pastor scream Jesus while doing it?

Abeg Islam is a not a religion of peace and serve weak god that can't fight for himself.

you are right the crusaders fought for allah.

So, how are you sure book haram is doing this for Islam? You go inside a mosque and scream Allahu Akbar, does that make you a Muslim? You judge a religion based on the teaching of the religion, not the action of some followers.
