You can ask yourself has anybody ever been charged for burning churches or for destroying Christian properties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA pastor was slaughtered openly in Adamawa. People, priests were killed in Benue. Priests have been killed in Kaduna.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems as if killing Christians is the only thing the world can do without consequences. That means that if you are serious as Christians, Catholics, what happens to the church in Ikwerre, what happens to the church in Sokoto, what happens to the church in Onitsha, what happens to the church everywhere in this country should affect us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTragically, you know, Christianity has become largely subordinated to ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people today still have a caliphate mentality that those who are not part of us must be against us. And this is the fate of Christians and Christianity in many parts of Northern Nigeria today, where Christianity is being tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChristians are being denied lands to build churches, and it is not seen as a problem. In a place like Kenya, I have a problem of that nature right now as we talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on, Bishop Kukah said they must preach the gospel, whether welcome or unwelcome, adding that it has no political and ethnic boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not about friendship. If it is about friendship, Jesus would have said to Peter, get behind me. When we are confronted, martyrdom is not just about being killed. Because, of course, in the end, you are killed for speaking the truth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember in the days of Abacha, many times people used to say to me, oh Bishop, if you don\u2019t keep quiet, you will be killed for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am saying so because we now need to come to terms with the essence that every day of our lives as Christians, we are challenged to martyrdom. Martyrdom because a sword is dangling before us,\u201d he said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kukah stated that Christians have become endangered species and soft target in the
