Apart from going to church every Sunday and surrendering to the Catholic church’s century-old worship rituals observed in Latin, my dad was hardly an overly religious man.
On April 12,2020 while a wedding was taking place in Tegina Kabata village of Niger state, armed herdsmen stormed the church. In the end, 12 Christian faithfuls were macheted to death while the couple and some church members were later abducted to an unknown destination. Following the Killing of the CAN chairman, the Northern Christian Forum of Nigeria issued a statement to the effect that “Murder of CAN chairman won’t break our trust in God”, the tone of which was defiant and commendable. What the body might not have reckoned however, was that when God created us in his own image, he trusted that we will do all that is necessary to protect that image. And that situations may sometimes require more than fasting and prayers.
The Nigeria church is home to mega-churches and influential pastors who have the wherewithal to organize and make a difference but are busy darting around the globe in luxury birds, serving up arsinine conspiracy theories. Of course most come complete with fully armed security details even as they ask the rest of us to pray for God’s protection.
