Let Yoruba Christians keep shouting" we are one,no religious difference" while their Muslim counterpart keep subjugating& relegating them to the background. I hope It will not be too late before they realise what is happening.

Easyfren: Don't let Fulani man hear you. If Kwara is south west, why can't the Yorubas produce an Oba instead of eternal Emir of Ilorin? If you did'nt know, Kwara is North Central.

Kwara doesn't refer to only Ilorin...Mumu
Other parts of kwara have Oba as their leaders.

By the way, Emirate leadership indicates an Islamic leadership and not Hausa/Fulani Leadership. This is so in Ilorin Cos, Ilorin Indigenes are 95% Muslims....
Although due to migration and all that, the ratio of Christianity to Islam among Ilorin Residents is roughly 50:50.
And really, all these shout of Emirate slavery, Saraki Slavery etc in Ilorin is purely political. Ilorin Indigenes couldn't care less! No one is bothered about anything, because no one feel enslaved......
Ilorin is a very cool, serene, clean and beautiful city that I really like.

Afterall said, Ilorin and Kwara as a whole is a yoruba city and state respectively (though there are minorities just like everyother state in Nigeria).

Have stayed in Ilorin for 4 years now and I have not heard any other language from any one, but Yoruba (well except Suya sellers; which is like that everywhere else). The North central is just the geographical location.
Besides, Kwara was part of western Nigeria during Regionalism....before they splitted everywhere in Geopolitical zones whatever!

Re: CAN Gives Kwara 7-day Ultimatum To Redress Discrimination Against Christians by eleluabdulsalam(m): 12:06pm On Sep 12, 2013
lekanolas: The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, yesterday gave Kwara State Government a seven-day ultimatum to redress alleged general discrimination against Christians or face its wrath.

The state CAN Chairman, Rev. James Folaranmi, who issued the ultimatum at a press conference, complained of discriminations against his members in the areas of political appointments, education and some others.

For example, Folaranmi said out of 146 key political positions in the state, only 29 were for Christians, which he said amounted to 10 per cent whereas the Christians “form about 50 per cent of qualified personnel, using every parameter”.

According to the CAN chairman, the governor, the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Head of Service, Chief of Staff, chairman, Teaching Service Commission, Primary Education Board, SUBEB, heads of tertiary institutions in the state, all secretaries, treasurers and the directors of personnel in all the 16 local governments are all Muslims.

He also said there were only five Christian commissioners in the state while chairmen of the boards of agencies nominated from the state were Muslims, adding that the head of the State Civil Service Commission and three other members were also Muslims.

Folaranmi also said the recent ‘selection’ of chairmanship, vice-chairmanship and councillorship candidates for 15 local governments by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the October council polls was grossly one-sided. He said out of 21 permanent secretaries, seven were Christians, while others were Muslims.

This, according to him, also applies to the directorates of Personnel and Management, Finance and Supply in all the ministries The CAN chairman accused the government of forcing Muslim board members on the Teaching Service Commission to effect transfer and promotion of Christian teachers to suit their own will, even in schools owned by Christians and voluntary organisations. He said: “Out of 41 government- owned secondary schools, there is only one principal who is a Christian.

“The rector of the polytechnic, the provosts of the three colleges of education and the vice-chancellor of the state university, including the two schools of nursing and the school of technology, Offa, whose heads are all Muslims.

am so so sorry for you. so is it how your brain dey think. this people you're mentioning go to there house majority of there wives are xtians, the governor of kwara, oyo, lagos even the tinubu that you hate his wife is a xtian. in yoruba land there is no any form of discrimination or sentiment. in kwara you mentioned, majority of kwarans are Muslims. almost 70percent are Muslim and they're politically active so the appointment can't be equal, or did you expect them to share appointment 50:50. abeg parkwell joh.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE XTIAN. IT IS CHRISTIAN! LEARN TO TYPE THE CHRIST and i think fellow brethren in Christ should stop making the same mistake. Jesus is the Christ and we are Christians not Xtians. Please note the "X" is negative.

In the SW,

Only 2 governors are pure muslims, aregbesola and mimiko.

Only 2 govnors are pure christians, fayemi and ibikule amosun.

Fashola and ajimobi are muslims by backgroung but they both have christian wifes.

So where did u get ur own facts from that christians are been relegated in SW.

anex4real: No you are wrong seventy percent of kwara state are yorubas am from kwara so I know.
It still doesn't change the fact that kwara state is in the north central, and a member state of the 19 northern states. Past and present governors have been very active members of northern governors forum. Or does kwara state governor attend south-west governors forum meeting? The state from what i know comprises of the yoruba tribe as majority, and other smaller tribes like bussa, gambari and fulani.

Kingspin: Christians view satan as their enemies but Muslims view them as one. This guys brainwash and incitement statement they got them, and even more dnt allow any other to operate or compete with them worldwide. The next person to kill or attack is always a christian why?. A set of people that could point gun at you to convert to islam or you die, you can understand better now. If Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is still among mulisms today many reforms must have taken place. We cant continue to exist in the past. You imagine, a world led by Iran, Taliban and co and the fear of human right & freedom to other faiths. No faith is seen perfect but reality make the different.No spiritual leader should mislead us to achieve and sult religion private gain .Free yourself people. Religion is a personal thing. Tell ur brothers to take up education(Reform) today is not a Western thing. Stop killing your people who are willing to go to school up Malala. The likes of Qatar's are making waves due to education.

Why not focus on the message and not the messenger? This man has voiced out the apparent inequalities of how Christians are being marginalized and discriminated in this state and yet some fools are busy yarning dust.

These are verifiable statistics so if you are indeed true to yourselves and not just some bunch of bigoted hypocrites you would try to reason with these facts without sentiments. Someone was even mentioning the current governor having a Christian wife. So what Is that the reason qualified Christians are being fenced out of appointments?

So you people would rather CAN just live in denial that there is a problem of marginalization in the state just to proof to you that they are meek and true Christians? That's foolishless dawg and the time is up for that. Cracks me up when they say Kwara is a muslim dominated state. Oh pls, foh with that baseless assertion. You can say that for Ilorin but the state as a whole is even between the two religions.

From the military era till 1999, Christians held many important positions in the state. Don't know if I should attribute that to the fact that there were a lot of educated Christian professionals then when some other people were busy doing Aleef, Ba, Ta in their worship places and didn't want to embrace western education or because the military-led govt then weren't sentimental in their appointments and they only wanted those who could deliver. Whichever it is, I'm glad CAN is stepping up to the plate and they now know what time it is. You are dealing with people who subjugate, kill you softly & still accuse you of intolerance when you express your discomfort. Dodos!!!

Same things in university of Ilorin as well. Its in 2 group. Muslim lecturers on a side and xtian lecturers on anoda side. Very annoying.
