CITY PEEP

Must read

PUBLIC WORSHIP BAN NOT THE ANSWER

The Inter-religious Council cannot do otherwise but to conform with the unilateral banning of church services and Muslim prayers. Inwardly they murmur but cannot voice it out otherwise it may have been seen as rebellion. But why were they not consulted in a matter that concerns them? Was it not because they would raise issues? If individual worship was ideal there would be no churches or mosques or temples.

The Bible says where two or three are gathered the Lord will be present. His presence is invoked.

There is a complete loss of fellowship. People cannot make decisions together for the progress of their congregations or the role of the church and mosque in the state. There is a loss of income that underpins the existence of the two institutions. No more Sunday Schools where worshipers can ask questions and discuss issues. No more praise sessions.

This country is blessed with all the natural and mineral resources that more progressive developing countries don’t have.

City Peep travelled to Waterloo past weekend and there was fighting to get into vehicles and five passengers in a row. So why were churches and mosques targeted? Satan.

 

MACLATE WAHALA

No we know the impediments of illiteracy and semi-literacy. Readers would recall the recent raid on schools by presents and guardians to “rescue” their children and wards from “vaccination” against CORONA VIRUS. Can you beat that? Would any educated person believe the irony of vaccinating persons against a disease for which even a cure has not yet been found let alone a vaccine?

This ugly incident focuses on the need for schools to have perimeter fences and gates. CP is sure that the aimless presents and guardians did not enter the schools that were well guarded. There should have been vigilance of heads of schools and class teachers to kick out intruding parents and guardians who were suffering from idleness and ignorance.

The unfortunate incident only goes to prove that President Bio was right to select education as his flagship project. It has proved the behavior difference between the educated and the uneducated citizens. On one occasion Aristotle was asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated. “As much” said he, “as the living are to the dead.” No educated person rushed to any school.

 

CORONA VIRUS BY TOUCH

Like the misconceptions that were bandied about during the Ebola scourge, false theories are misleading many hopeless people. False rumors abound. They say since COVID-19 is an airborne disease one can safely touch and be free.

That is not true. The danger with touching is that there is an unfortunate habit of everyone to touch one’s face umpteen times a day. It is natural. As soon as one touches an infected person or surface and brings that touched part to the face the virus enters through the nose, ear, mouth or eye. You have it. Beware!
