Middle Belt youths’ position on Oritsejafor’s comment is irresponsible – Waku


Vice President of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Senator Joseph Waku has taken on middle belt youth Forum for standing with the President of the Christians Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor on the Boko Baram issue.
Waku who reacted to the criticism of the group on his comment against the CAN president said he sympathise  with the group for reasoning in the most shallow way. Waku stated thus  “I do not join issues with people who are full of emotions rather than principles.”
Waku, the man known for his controversial comments was accused in 2003 for calling on the military to take over government while he was in the senate.
Waku had recently criticised the Oritsejafor for his unguarded  utterances on the boko Haram issue  .
Reacting to the middle belt condemnation of his comment, he  said he spoke as an individual and not in the capacity of the position he currently holds as the vice chairman of the ACF.  ” As far as I know, I have the right to make a comment on national issues like every other person”
He said he did not need to take permission from “an irresponsible and self-style organisation like the Middle Belt Youth Forum.”
He emphasised thus, “I do not belong to any religious organisation than to make comment and advise religious leaders.
“It was not the CAN I challenged. I challenged the comments made by the Reverend (Oritsejafor). If he had made it in his private capacity, I would still challenge him.  Any meaningful Nigerian, irrespective of his religion, would agree with me.
“I am surprised that the youth forum did not read the comment made by the American Congress in respect of this man’s request. They said they were not designating Boko Haram as a terrorist organisation but individuals.”
“So, it is the same reasons that I gave three months ago that the American Congress gave; that Boko Haram has several versions. There is the criminal Boko Haram, there is economic Boko Haram and there is political Boko Haram.
“If the so called Middle Belt Youth Forum had read their statistics since the inception of Boko Haram, can they give me the total number of people Boko Haram has killed? How many Christians and Muslims?”

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release. With that said, this would surely deprive Snoop Lion from direct contact to some elders within the Rastafarian community also, access to vital information and place of worship. Let us see
