Portable Berates Pastors For Keeping Silent, Following Jos Killings

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Street singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has berated Nigerian pastors over the recent killings of Christians in Jos.

Recall that many Nigerians were aggrieved, following the news and video of suspected Fulani gunmen opening fire on a community in Angwa Rukuba, Jos, on Palm Sunday, leading to the death of many.

Linking it to alleged Christian genocide, Portable wondered the reason behind the silence among Christian leaders, noting how they use bulletproof cars, while their members are being killed.

The 'Zazuu' crooner stressed that the recent killings would have been met with actions, if Muslims were the casualties.

"Why are Nigerian pastors not fighting for Christians? They use bulletproof cars yet their followers are dying. Why can’t pastors lead protest to the Aso rock? You can’t harm a Muslim and there won’t be chaos. If you kill a traditionalist, there will be crisis. But if you kill a Christian, the pastor will look away and begin enjoying in his car.”
