Straight From the Heart By Mercy

With our current situation in Nigeria, another religious crisis may not be far fetched. Although the north eastern region seems peaceful on the face value, Christians living there have been victimized severally and they have always kept quiet due to the fact that Christianity is a religion of peace but recent incidents is pushing them to the wall and if they decide to fight back,  our president might be having another major crises at hand.

Zamfara state with the slogan 'farming is our pride', is a state where the Muslims have had their grounds undoubtedly but the constitution gives every Nigerian a right to  his or her preferred religion. The Christians being victimized in Gusau the state capital are not just the indigenes but corp's members. Starting from the camp in tsafe where

the Nigeria christian fellowship where told to vacate the venue where they use for midweek prayers to Gusau the state capital where the NCCF building was demolished with  the only excuse being that they built story buildings in their community. If I may ask where in our constitution is it written that people must erect a particular building design? Do we no longer have the right to choose our preferred religion? Or does the need to erect a befitting place of worship for our God disturb public tranquility?

The Nigeria christian corpers lodge in Gusau, Zamfara state was built from the sweat of corp members even when they were paid 10,000 naira per month by the federal government. As little as this money was, they tasked themselves to get the land and start building, even after some finished serving, they came back to help just so Christians coming to the state could have a solitude. The amazing part of this story is the fact that the government of the state has not in anyway acknowledged the cry of this corps members.

Our Muslim corpers don't face all the harassment, stoning and cursing the christian corps members receive.

We the corp members are tired.

If the governor of the state will not do anything to help us because we are Christians, we will soon rise up for ourselves.

We say no to religious molestation....

We say no to victimization....

We are called to serve not to be trampled upon!!
