18 out of the over 40 people who lost their lives in the 2011 Christmas Day bombing of St. Theresa Catholic Church, Suleja, were buried yesterday, in a single grave dug beside the church.
During the church service for the burial, the Emir of Suleja, Mallam Awwal Ibrahim, who came for the service, was booed and chased out by parishioners of the church when he was called to say a few words. No one wanted to hear anything he had say. The emir and his entourage had no choice but to leave. Christians in the city are angry with the emir over what they say was his lack of concern or sympathy for the victims of the Christmas Day bombing.

That serves him right. Other northern leaders who are not doing anything about the violence meted out to Christians in the north also deserve the same treatment.
ReplyDeleteUseless man, he didn't show any concern when the bomb blast killed the victims, after the media criticized him...the nerve of him to show up at the burial sef.
ReplyDeleteThe man don't have human blood running in him and he is not man enough to make a decision and stand by it, even if he would rot in hell fire for that. when people of other religion and tribe were kill by some ppl believe to be ur own ppl u did not make any statement either for or against and when they a now burying those ppl u now show up, that man is in support of BH, he should be arrested if this is not Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteGod help us,may the souls of the departed rest in peace and may the good lord console their families. Amen
ReplyDeletehmm.
ReplyDeleteServes him right......who cares about what he has to say???? mtchewwwwww....
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they up and stone him???? The nerve!!
ReplyDeleteThe Emir should apologise for showing up their. He is not needed, because, he is not a true ruler. When you are a ruler, you belong to all the people and not some sections, but, the emir has not demonstrated this. Thank God for the braveness of the parishoners in displaying their disgust for him. May the gentle soul of the departed rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteAt least he was not smiling and assuring us that BH would soon become a thing of the past. Nor did he come in helicopter to blow off our rooftops!
ReplyDeleteSERVES HIM RIGHT!!
ReplyDeleteThe EMIR IS NOT ONLY WICKED,HE IS A SADDIST, HOW ON EARTH ? WHO SEND AM TO COME THE BURIAL?I KNOW SOONEST THE TRUTH ABT ALL THIS WICKED PEOPLE WILL GRADUALLY UNFOLD...WHY THEM NO STONE OUT OF THE PLACE?MAY GOD GRANT THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE THAT LOST THEIR LOVED ONES THE FORTITUDE TO BEAR THE LOST AND MAY THE BLOOD OF VENGEANCE CRY THE THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATTACK.
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry for these victims, and pray that their souls rest in the bosom of the Lord. Amen!
