Lady calls out Lekki Central mosque over controversial ‘Jesus not God’ banner

A Nigerian lady, identified as Wumi Tuase, has called out Lekki Central Mosque over a controversial banner.

In the post shared via the microblogging platform X, Tuase called out the religious body over its remarks against the body of Christ. 

The banner had inscriptions which read: “Jesus Christ is not God! He is a prophet and messenger of God.”

Reacting to the post, she wrote: “I don’t like to get into religious conversations but i found it very weird that Lekki Central Mosque has this in front of their gate.”

Another user who tweeted with the handle #Fisayo Ojabodu wrote, “You don’t see the banner is disrespectful to other people’s religion. And is propagating foolish agenda.”

Another user who identified as #FS Yusuf tweeted, “Christianity is actually a religion of peace.

“In the last two decades, my family church has been set on fire by Muslim extremists for ridiculous reasons such as religious extremism and Buhari losing his 2011 election.

“This is the reality for hundreds of churches and also innocent individuals accused of blasphemy. If this write-up was done by a Christian organisation, we won’t be here typing. Until we learn to uphold tolerance, we can’t make progress as a pluralistic society.”

One Silva Bella on X said, “It’s not about Christianity is a religion of peace or not … Jesus is not God. I have read the Bible a lot of time and it obvious but I can’t still get why people call Jesus God. He’s the son which means God is the father.”

“Jesus is God, Jesus is your King and Jesus will pass judgment on all. For judgment will only be fair through him that has walked in your flesh and felt your pain,” GeradTheGreat opined.

“We are so peaceful, and we will remain peaceful, we don’t fight for our God, He fights for himself,” Joycccc wrote on Meta.

Another user on X, Expope said, “The late Deborah they set on fire has not done up to this before they all joined hands to terminate her life.”

On X, another user identified as #ChristTheLighhouse opined, “We as Christians accept criticism, backlash, rejection, and even insults. Our Lord and saviour whom we believe and serve received more up to the point of death! He prayed for unbelievers and his persecutors and killers.
