Kemi Olunloyo: We Should Stop Using Religion As Excuse For Character Defamation by Rapmoney(m): 9:59am On Apr 03, 2017 |
Just recently, we have seen countless posts and articles on why Pastor David Ibiyiomie isn't acting like a Christian or why he should stop 'persecuting' the blogger, Kemi Olunloyo, a woman well known for her frequent defamation of people's character (a crime under the law) and her 'garage journalism' all in the quest to be famous. Firstly, we should see Pastor Ibiyiomie as a bonafide citizen, a Nigerian, before we take a look at his religious background. He is a Nigerian like every other Nigerian who is entitled to protected rights as eshrined in our constitution. It amazes me that many folks talk about fundamental human rights, yet see everything wrong in punishing people found to have defamed the character of others and criticize the victims when they pursue their rights through legitimate means.. Defamation of people's character is against the law, whether we like it or not. Anyone who feels his character has been defamed is free to seek redress in law courts. It is not out of place. We should stop hiding under religious doctrines to support character defamation in Nigeria. Things like this are not condoned in saner climes. When you say or write negative things about people and accuse them of doing something evil, you must have concrete evidence. Character defamation is not and has never been a comedy or joke! Such things can cause damages and crises in the homes or organizations of victims. Now, we talk of forgiveness? ![]() Most of these folks castigating Pastor Ibiyeomie never cared to caution Kemi Olunloyo when she was busy writing stuffs about people where there was no concrete (even soft) evidence. The hypocritical nature of many Nigerians has come to play again. How many articles did we read cautioning Ms Olunloyo when she was writing what she wrote? ![]() ![]() Kemi Olunloyo deliberately defamed a citizen's character. That is the fact; whether it involves a pastor, magician, juju priest or a Bhudda whorshipper is irrelevant here. She should face whatever punishment the law dishes to her. Let it serve as a lesson for others who defame the character of others, especially, on social media, as a thing of joke or to increase popularity. 106 Likes 22 Shares

This article is brilliantly written oga Rapmoney The only thing I can say concerning this issue is that "defamation of character" is a very big offence under the constitution, and I'm of the opinion that anybody can take legal action at the expense of his image. There's a limit to what everybody can take in this life and this has nothing to do with being a "pastor".. . However, if I'm a pastor and you defame me that I'm a "fake pastor", I will definitely throw deaf ears to your accusation and leave you to your stupidity but when the defamation has to do with fraud, theft or rape, I can take legal action against you 84 Likes 5 Shares |

Then safe to say Churches and Pastors should start paying tax. You can not enjoy privileges under religion and when it comes to acting what you preach we say it is two consenting adults sleeping with one another or fighting. 14 Likes 1 Share |

AntiWailer:This does not have anything to do with tax. That churches do not pay tax doesn't have anything to do with people's fundamental rights. The victim is a Nigerian citizen and the rights enshrined in the constitution are suppose to cover him. He is not a Vietnamese for crying out loud! 28 Likes |

Kondomatic:In the first place, this is a case of violating the rights of a citizen; it has nothing to do with taxation. I made reference to Christ paying tax to explain a point that you cannot separate the citizens from the state irrespective of religious doctrines or affiliations. He is supposed to know that. 9 Likes |

Op we know she defamed his character but we believe he being a pastor he should overlook it Since he didn't he should be called a fake Man of God Cause as a man of God you should learn to forgive no matter the atrocities committed against you but no he is a yahoo yahoo pastor only interested in the tithes of his followers Wouldn't it be better to try to win her soul instead of try to condemn her to jail Sorry o but anybodybwey dey go this man church ehn well make i shut up 2 Likes 1 Share |

We all, at d initial stage agreed to her arrest. We all said she must be purnished for publishing what she's nt sure of. What ppl r sayin nw is for d Pastor to show mercy. YES, MERCY! What an ordinary man can do, a Pastor is nt allowed 2 do so as they are suppose 2 b a gd example, as dia fflowers r lookin up to them. Remember what happen wen JESUS disciples got angry on earing their master is abt 2 b arrested? Our Lord still showed mercy 2 d guy his ear was cut off. Christians a bound 2 FORGIVE at all tym. REVENGE IS FOR THE LORD! 1 Like |

@rapmoney Mathew 5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Pastor Ibiyeomie calls Christ his Lord but failed to do what Jesus said he should do. Luke 6:46 And why call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 8 Likes |

Rapmoney should take a seat please. We all know that Kemi's tongue runs unbidden like a flash flood. We know she has written many nasty things about different people in the society. She has commited an offence that no doubt she should pay for. Now, what are we against? We are against the use of influence and the judicial system to humiliate a fellow citizen. Has she been convicted of said offence? NO! Should she appear in court in a convicted person's garb? NO! Is pastor David Christlike with all the venom that he has pursued this case with? Hell NO! Religious leaders in this country are a curious set of fellows -- they are all about do what I say and not what I do. 10 Likes 1 Share |
