A
few months back, American military leadership visited Nigeria and sniffed all
our military establishments to their very foundation and went on to declare
that they are the sole guarantor of the security of the country.

Ekanem Wrote Thus:
I do not know who Joseph Ikechukwu is but I know what the
Christian teachings are about the relationship between those who follow Christ
and the state. I know of only one sin that one will commit and there will be no
forgiveness. That sin is not armed robbery, killing of Catholic priests during
mass or even murder. It is blasphemy against the holy spirit of God. That is
what this fellow is doing.
I notice here so many acres of barren preoccupation with
Israel as a “Christian” nation and the need for it to take over Nigeria.
This is silly on diverse grounds. As far as our constitution is concerned,
Nigeria is a secular country. I know too that there is probably no Christian in
the Israeli government and that 90% of the people of Israel home and abroad are
opposed to the mention of that name, Christ.

Nigeria and sniffed all our military establishments to their very foundation

country. I didn’t hear Ikechukwu scream in the name of patriotism
I know in Syria currently, the ISIS has been burning church
buildings and killing their Christian occupants and these are the same Islamic
terrorists that both Zionist Israel and NATO have been funding, training and
arming. We watched as Trump stooped down on his two knees, the King of all
Sunni and other Muslims worldwide put his hands on Trump’s head and gave him an
Islamic Sword of Conquest against Christians! That was the very sword used to
kill thousands of Christians and even Moslems who disagree with the King on the
details of Islamic worship rituals. Did
Ikechukwu see that and analysed if he so much understand the complexity of how
nations relate and especially that religion has so little to do with governance
at that level.
How much wiser would one be that as one claiming knowledge
of international relations, cannot know that the Arab coalition in Syria is
coordinated with Israel? So, where is religion in all this? Was it not Roman
Catholic Priesthood that was coordinating the mass slaughter of fellow
Catholics in Rwanda in the church complexes in 1994? What the hue about
religion?
On our part, are we to sheepishly follow Ikechukwu and drum
up support for Israel’s membership in ECOWAS? How knowledgeable is Ikechukwu
that he does not understand that membership criteria in international
organizations is now fluid. Are all the current memories of the British
Commonwealth of Nations really those that the British colonized?
By the way, what makes Ikechukwu feel that the heavens must
fall if Buhari wins again? What does the Bible teach about the emergence of political
leaders and the role.
Perhaps I should spare the writer whom I do not know in
person but I don’t think that should apply to the one who shared it to me
because I don’t know the intentions behind my attention being drawn into this.
If there are people who can not transcend the subjective quagmire of the
writer, then we have a monumental intellectual problem in our hands . I am
outside this bracket.
