Former FCT minister, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has come under heavy attack of social media for his tweet on Sunday in his attempt to defend the former Education minister, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili and to deride Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
The ex-minister, in his tweet posted on January 27, 2013, made a sarcastic joke about Jesus and Mary Magdalene aimed at Information minister, Labaran Maku, Dr Doyin Okupe and Dr Ruben Abati.
His controversial tweet reads: “If Jesus criticizes Jonathan’s govt, Maku/Abati/Okupe will say he slept with MaryMadgalene.”
Meanwhile, Christians and other Nigerians have been attacking the ex-minister describing the comments as offensive and attack on Christians.
One tweet reads, “Sir with all due respect. I get u point in dis joke. But why Jesus? It’s not funny”.
On Sunday, one Dr Thomas Agande in his Twitter statement titled “El Rufai Defiles Jesus Christ” said, “He went overboard when, on his Twitter page, today January 27, 2013, said our Lord Jesus Christ had sex with Mary Magdalene. We see this as a very insensitive, irresponsible, and a offensive thing to say about Christ, and an attack on the sensibilities of Christians globally.
“El-Rufai betrayed his lack of respect for our Lord Jesus Christ and obvious hatred for Christians. How else can one explain his effrontery and buffoonery when he seemingly jokingly twitted that Christ had sex with Mary Magdalene.
“El-Rufai who aspires rule a multi-religious nation, should have been circumspect in his use of words when referring to the sacred.
“It is on record that less offensive things have been said about the Prophet Mohammed which led to loss of Christian lives.”
Another Twitter user wrote , “This is so irresponsible and insensitive. If Christians should make such reference to Prophet Mohammed we would be counting dead bodies in the north. We Christians are peace-loving and will definitely ignore him but he must be told he is an IDIOT for saying such.”
One person added, “The former minister has just told Nigerians that he lacks the decency to rule a multi religious nation, if he should display such disrespect for the sacred and thinks it is funny. His Tweet shows he is not a decent man. He has disregarded the collective sensibilities of Christians all over the world by this very offensive reference to our Lord Jesus Christ.”
He is stupid, idiot, fucking muslim. Make mohammed nyash born for fire, idiot
@Gerald: abeg easy easy.. He apologieses opendly with vivid and conviencing statement na!! Bros lets not over anger and aulter some provoken that may cause provock or calamity..
@Suleiman, u ‘re an idiots by saying he apologize. If is u touts u would have killed hundreds of christians. Go to hell with ur apology.
I knew that this midget called el Rufai will soon be killed by the gods, that’s why he is becoming a mad man. This are the type of people that Nigerians should be careful enough to know that they don’t mean well for this nation. Alfet all his new found godfather Buhari once said we Muslim should NEVER vet for a christian. Birds of the same feathers flock together. El Rufai is indeed a disgrace to Islam and an idiot
What concern him with mary and jesus?believers,avenger is of the lord.he that is doing good let him continue,and he that is doing bad let him also.but he that sin against the holy spirit can not be forgiven.God i am not judging bt d enemy to you are mine.
Its a work of those who want to see his down fall. I blame him for talking too much if not his point is clearly stated for those who wish to understand.
You are so sick in the head..
I think his point would have been more clear if he stated that he “El-rufai” slept with your mother
God will judge el-rufai for that.
El-Rufai is an IDIOT in deed,but not all ss cadidate are senseless
@elrufai: “@zebbook: If Jesus criticizes Jonathan’s govt, Maku/Abati/Okupe will say he slept with Mary Madgalene.”….LWKMD…..”.
Didnt see any tin wrong abt this tweet…………some pple can b devilish….retards!!!!
i guess you would see nothing wrong if someone refers to your father sleeping with a mad woman and using it as a joke. He probably should have said “if Onuwavbagbe’s father criticized Jonathan’s govt, Maku/Abati/Okupe will say he slept with a mad woman.” I guess that sounds better.
Or sleeping with your sister or your wife. It is Onuwavbagbe?
that man is the worst idiot Nigerian politics av put for power.he most pay the price of everything he said with his basket mouth.
@Kants his downfall is long overdue, useless PUBLIC NUISANCE!
@Kants his downfall is long overdue, useless PUBLIC NUISANCE!
He’s a disgrace 2 muslims. I tink he’s v. Foolish 4 sayin dat. I tot he’s a responsible man b4 but now ”i tink he’s a mad man dat wil die soon bcos he has offended Jesus. God wil giv him punish him n mak him mad. Satanic man. How r we sure he’s not d 1 behind dis BH? Devil’s incanate…
And he wants to become the president! Dough he has apologised! He will not see the out come now! He shd ask Gen Buhari what he is passing through! I believe he is not better than Buhari! By the time God is done with him! He will understand! We don’t kill becos of Jesus or God if not it would have being something else!
He is lacking the wisdom of God, Our lord Jesus Christ will show him that he is the only way for salvation, christians no fight vengeancy is of the lord
El Rufai is like other typical muslims who has no regard to Christ and Christiandom. They can pretend but sincerely speaking thy wanted christians to be wiped out,that is why El-Rufai and co created Boko Haram to distablize Jonathan’s govt because he is a christian. Thank God that we christians are not like them who are fighting for their god,we allow our God to fight for us. So El-Rufai,u shuld repent or the wrath of God will visit u.
HE SHOULD BE RENAMED “notice me or i die”. He uses negative press to get attention. Its a psychological/psychiatric case! He needs prayer!
so true
you said it all thank you
El-rufai is stupid. That is why I love Christianity. Hadn’t been it was Christian that abuse Muhammed, thousands of Christians would have been slaughtered by now.
This show’s the kind of derogated satanic incarnate we have in human form….. He is not worth to lead a second…..
JESUS delivered mary magdalene frm ha evil ways now an uncircumcised philistian & a son of a bond woman is usin it against d savior of d world anyway d intresting tin is JESUS luvs him no mata wot i pray dat d LORD wil visit u & u‘l bcom an evangelist & win souls 4 dis same JESUS u av insulted may God av mercy on ur already doomed body spirit & soul JESUS IS COMING SOON
What ever any one has to say, pls say it. Our Lord Jesus Christ is more than able to fight & answer for HimSelf ( d owner of d universe, He who said: let there be & d universe was formed ). Pls NOTE, We Christains we save a living GOD NOT a dead one, so NO one I repeat NO one can fight for OUR GOD.
For me I̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ not a suprise el rufai I̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ boko aram leader may God forgive me
For me I̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ not a suprise el rufai I̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ boko aram leader may God forgive me
I am Muslim, but i compeletly against El-Rufai’s statement agaisnt Jesus… He have to apologise to believers n of cos to seek God’s forgiveness!
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said:
“man kaana yu’minu bi Allahi wa-alyaumi al-aakhiri fal yaqul khairan au li yasmut.”
Means: “whoever believes in Allah and in d last day, let him say something good or let him keep quite.”
El-Rufai talk to much thats why he did this big blunder. Take a note!
El-rufai is a carword and a very stupid mallam’look at that common theft talking about jesus
El-rufai is a carword and a very stupid mallam’look at that common theft talking about jesus
I think obasanjo owe nigerians an apology for bringing and making a lunatics a former of fct and looting nigerians money
You never know a fool until he opens his mouth and talk. If you are just now knowing that El-Rufai is a fool and an empty barel then I wil say you are probably not a Nigerian.As for his comment about Jesus, The God we serve is a forgiven God and I am very sure He has forgiven him.
I am Muslim, but i compeletly against El-Rufai’s statement over Jesus… He have to apologise to believers n of cos to repent!

I have always said that Ewu–Rufai is a hopeless man, God will soon punish him for all the atrocities he committed during of reign of terror in Abuja.
Rufai EL must be stupid is muhammed having sex with his bastered mother . Your life is in danger if we xtistain will there catch u. Stupid muslim blood sucker come out in the public n see how we will kill u.
d word an egg,must b guarded.once broken,it’s an irretrievable.what an unguarded comment!
ACN product , they want to be president of nigeria, idiot
Apology!!! Sincere Apology!!! Profound Apology!!! to all Xtians & Muslims. El-Rufai really goofed!
Pls every xtian should know and keep it in mind that no sincere muslim will ever deride Jesus as he’s highly respected in the Muslim world. In fact, No muslim is a muslim without strong belief in Jesus Christ.
I believe El_Rufai could not av meant to insult Jesus but rather trying to give a point on how Maku and the likes could be so bad. But he should av used another means, not Jesus (or even Mohammed), knowing full well the volatility of religious matters in Nigeria.
Again, pls people should desist from juxtaposing northerners un-Islamic approach to issues and Islam. Every knows the northerners are naturally aggressive and value lives of animals (cows) more than human’s. Or why is such their dastardly acts not happening in other parts of the country.
As for Boko Haram, any discerning person should know by now that they are much more political than religious…..
u dat u are againsing prophet muhammad is dat wat ur religion tels u dat wen a person abuse ur god 2 react, i tank allah 4 beying a MUSLIM
You are such a stupid and idiot person. How could you say that? Some said bad thing against God and you are backing him. You are birds of d same feather. If it were to be xtain dat said that nasty word to Mohammed lots of dead bodies would have full d ground. We (Xtians) did not fight over this cos we can not fight for our God. He will fight for Himself. Xtainity is a peaceful religion and it will continue to be.
@ezekiel u must be stupid 4 insulting our prophet, is dat lunatic speaking onbehalf of muslims? crazy man.u and dat bastard called hmself rufai are d same
@geraldine u and rufai shuld go to hell
Y is it everybody commenting sleep nd place their heads on a direction? Haba!
El rufai! May GOD judge you.
foolish mallam. Always control ur tongue.
Why do christians alwayz curse directly without chake-mate of facts behind the idea El rufa’i want’s to make, on the answer he gave to jonathan crue in conjunction with the issues ahead.
U just a fucking idiot
RELIGION WORLD! dose christ ask u to insult any man 4 his name? no! christ is love he died 4 al men el rufai jst say somtin acording to his understandin bt instead of putin alright u are insulting him is that how christ caried his minstry?iam comin
if u knw u ar a true christian jst ignore dis statement!
Very unfortunate. El-rufai, are sure you know the exalted position of Jesus in Islam? You have succeeded in insulting both Christians and Muslims.
The year of judgment
Those words are offensive to muslims also, its only less knowledgeable xtians dat do not knw. So, MIND UR WORDS!
Pls all of u stop ur senseless insults and look beyond religion it has not gotten us anywhere and it won’t! I feel rufai made a high order joke if he were in the US or UK it won’t count that much but nigerians who are blood blind on religion and still commit more sins than some demons would definitely attack him. Our low level of education is very very clear. Pastors are buying range rovers you are looking for money to pay common bills imams are building mansions you are looking for bread to eat. Stand up for something today stand against ur own annihilation stand for development and christ will stand by you. Safe
Nigerians shuld no dat nt evry1 wit high politcal profile are more inteligent dan d comon nigerians.They are also prone
somebody said he is mad I kinda doubt but now is obvious. For this statement he maybe find funny will put him on the market square in Jesus name AMEN “you can’t make mockery of our lord Jesus Christ,may he forgive you”
Please beloved Nigerian, lets forgive Nasir El rufai for his un calculated and utterance. This is an evidence that nemesis is catching up with him. No body bite the fingers that feed him and go free. Thank God his utterance has brought his political carrier in to a death lock. What a failure!
El rufai or what ever name he is called is psychologically incapacitated
As a matta of fact,he is Anti Nigeria
