Lekki central mosque in Lagos, has received heavy knocks on social media for displaying a banner which reads; ‘Jesus Christ is not God’
Netizens across social media platforms have criticized the banner.
The inscription on the banner which went viral on Wednesday read, “Jesus Christ is not God. He is a Prophet and Messenger of God!”
However, reactions have trailed the message, with some arguing that the motive behind it was blasphemy.
A Nigerian actress, Wumi Tuase, took to her X and expressed displeasure saying, “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.”
A 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.”
One user who identified with the handle #Adesuwa noted that this action is nothing but blasphemy.
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.”
“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.”
