loopman: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PDP is not dividing Nigeria along religious lines. Nigeria has always been divided along religious lines. The APC presidential hopeful, Buhari, accentuated this division through his actions and rants over the years. Let's take a little look at history: Muhammadu Buhari of the APC used Sharia to rise to political fame in 2000/2001. He was the one who advised Muslims to vote for those who will promote their religion: [http://allafrica.com/stories/200201210250.html]. He also called for Sharia in all states in Nigeria [http://allafrica.com/stories/200108270355.html]. These are indeed divisive comments. Even the colonial masters saw the religious lines and allowed Islam to fester in the North. Ditto for the military governments. They recognised the differences in religion in the country, hence we had: Gowon/ Hassan Katsina; Murtala/Obasanjo; Obasanjo/ Yar'Adua; Babangida/Ukiwe and later Babangida Aikhomo; Abacha/Diya and later Abacha/ Akhigbe. Ironsi was was a special case because of how he came to power and he didn't last. In fact, it was your man, Buhari, who frowned at this, hence his second in command was a Northern Muslim, Tunde Idiagbon. Even in civilian regimes, it was so: Belewa/Zik, Shagari/Ekwueme; Obasanjo/Atiku and YarAdua/Jonathan. So saying that PDP divided you along religious line is a fallacy. Did the PDP start the No Hijab, No vote issue in Lagos? Did PDP start the religious brouhaha in Osun Schools since the coming of Aregbesola? Islamic riots in Nigeria date back to 1953 in Kano. In the 1970s and 80s we had the Maitatsine riots. In 1991 we had the Reinhard Bonke riots in Kano caused by Islamic intolerance. In 1995 Gideon Akaluka was Killed in Kano by Muslim fundamentalists. In 1999 Yerima led other Muslim governors to declare Sharia in nine Northern States, telling Christians that they were now in Muslim territories and must behave. Remember the Miss World Riots of 2002? What about the Danish (Mohammed) cartoon riots in 2005? We have seen the mayhem caused by Boko Haram since 2009. Each riot tells non-Muslim that they are not wanted in certain parts of the country. So, division along religious has always been part of Nigeria. The PDP did not start it and will not end it. 35 Likes 2 Shares |

Ngwakwe: How did you measure the 98% value other than quesses and counting the Christians within your circle of friends and family? Besides quite a few people who have been 'baptised' are ardent juju worshipers, animists, and/or cultists - i.e. even after being baptised. Your 98% number probably include those folks. 1 Like |

Sibabasibaba1: Par your last sentence - You are right, and i have always said this myself. The pdp and gej did not start religious divide in Nigeria. So in fairness, let no body accuse gej of bringing religious divide to this country. But, what we accuse gej for is that under this administration, the religious polarity in Nigeria has been pronounced to a whole new level that it has never been before. Similarly, pdp/gej did not bring insurgents to Nigeria, but under the present a$$holes occuping aso rock, insurgents has planted a flag on our country. Nigerian Army has never been the strongest in the world, but under this useless government, we see Nigerian army running away from war front (for the 1st time in history) to Cameroon and shamefully surrender their arms to show they meant no harm simply because they have been delibrately under equipped and funded. The list goes on and on. I am sure many unbiased and enlightened people can add and explain more. 7 Likes |

gists: You know something...I am tired of Nigerians. It seems that we are not willing to pay attention to the issues....rather we engage in inane and weird talk about religion and tribe and so on. Let me tell you something about any Nigerian leader's attempt to Chrstianise or Islamise this country. It won't end well. And it would bite everyone in the back....elite and non-elite.

Op my God increase your wisdom a hundred folks!! I said it yesterday, I'm repeating it again, all these talks about religion, age and region are absolutely nonsensical. That of religion is particularly nauseating due to its volatility. These antics never were issues, but had to became topical issues today since Jonathan and his gang have absolutely nothing tangible upon which to base their campaign. Dwelling on these frivolous considerations take the eyes of the electorates off the ball and indeed, the goal post!! We've had numerous bad leaders in this country and the cut across both major faiths and tribes. So if you ask me, what one should be considering in making that choice of whom to led us beyond 2015 is the politician's antecedents and not their age, tribe, religion, or where they come from. Such considerations, to me, are supposed to be exclusive preserve of tauts and illiterates. God bless the op. 5 Likes |

bushdoc9919:It is very irritating my brother. Religion, tribe and age became an issue since Jonathan started campaigning for re-election. Jonathan is completely damaged goods. Not a single tangible achievement he can place a finger on to sell himself to the electorates. He himself said in 2011, that if he can't fix the problem of power supply in 4years, then he is unworthy of being sent back to Aso Rock. |
