What follows below are excerpts from various weighty articles from academia. They are words not to be taken with any levity, I leave you to contribute and expand the knowledge bank, research further and make up your mind. Its chilling stuff, read on:

It is part of the history of Nigeria, that General Olusegun Obasanjo, as the successor of General Murtala had problems with pushing through, the Islamization Plan of Murtala. The believers in Murtala's Islamization Plan in the Supreme Military Council, Shehu Yar'Adua, Babangida and Buhari were not powerful enough to push the plan through. They had problems with the avid defenders of the secularism in the Supreme Military Council led by the Service Chiefs {General TY Danjunma (Army), Commodore Isa Doko (Airforce) and Rear Admiral Adelanwa (Navy)}. Tinkling with what the Constituent Assembly approved was what General Obasanjo's regime could do and it did precisely that

Although Babangida took the rap for Nigeria's sneaky upgrade to full membership of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), according to a study on Nigeria funded by the US Defense Department in the early 1990s, it was actually Buhari who without any regard whatsoever for the sensibilities of Nigerians of other faiths, submitted the application to upgrade Nigeria's membership from the observer status it had enjoyed since the Gowon regime to full membership. The OIC's review of the application was concluded after Babangida's palace coup. Rather than reverse Buhari's action, Babangida quietly allowed Nigeria's new status as a full-fledged member of the OIC to stand. Buhari's OIC action exposed him as a religious zealot, who will have no qualms in rousing and ginning up Sharia issues, quiescent for several years now, following its aggressive unveiling in Zamfara, where Buba Bello Jangebe's wrist was amputated for stealing a cow, and Safiya Husseini was sentenced to die by stoning for adultery while her co-participant in the act was not prosecuted because he was male.

The move by Nigeria to join the Organization of Islamic Conference (O.I.C), initiated by Buhari and amplified by Babangida, also almost tore the nation apart. General Babangida, whose regime was welcomed because of his restoration of the freedom of speech after the days of Buhari/Idiagbon, shocked many Nigerians with this development. It was ironic that many of the
key members of his government who were Christians claimed to be ignorant of such move

Very Interesting Titbits
But the period of General Babangida (1985-1993) represented the beginning of unmitigated Islamization of Nigeria. General Babangida was one of the loyal followers of General Murtala. This was why General Babangida took the fateful decision in 1986 to face the Nigerian Christians in particular and Nigerians in general with the plan of Muslims. He without the approval of the governing organs of the Federal Military Government organized a mission led by a non-member of the Government, the Sultan of Sokoto to formally admit Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). When the Chief of General Staff, Commodore Ubitu Ukiwe complained that he knew nothing about it and definitely said that he could not remember the matter coming to the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC), he was shown his way out. The Christians took it. The Christian leaders bought the plan of the Military President to keep them talking under the auspices of a 20-man panel to 'examine the implications of the country's full membership of the organization'. This was a diversion and the Christians were victims. This was not all.

OP, are you surprise?

Buhari ( GMB ) is not the messiah Nigerians want and would never perform better than GEJ.

If APC actually represent the change we clamour for, they would've presented a better presidential candidate.

Nigeria can't afford to try sharia practice outside the Northern part of Nigeria.

Anybody thinking sharia will be practiced in rivers state even if ayatollah khamenei becomes Nigerian president is a child who must believe Santa Claus is real and anybody thinking he can islamise Nigeria is a dunce.

This propaganda has gone past its sell by date. Its proponents should try another one.

this article is pure propaganda from PDP.
Buhari didn't partake in registering Nigeria as an Islamic country.
Buhari didn't submit any application for registering Nigeria to Brother of Islamic conference.

Nigeria was islamised by IBB who is a current member of PDP.

IBB registered Nigeria despite Muslim having less than 50% population.

from a more credible source;



“Muslim leaders, like Gen. Ibrahim Babangida
(retd), Gen. Sanni Abacha, (retd) and Gen. Murtala
Mohammed, had had a systematic attempt to
islamise Nigeria. It was Babangida that registered
Nigeria as Islamic country in Organisation for
Islamic Contries.
http://www.punchng.com/news/withdraw-nigerias-membership-of-oic-to-curtail-violence/

GEJ should deregister Nigeria to reduce terrorism just like the link above stated, but he won't because he needs votes from Muslim extremists too.

don't bring Buhari into this

Let Nigeria leave that organization immediately...Nigeria is a secular nation and we don't have to be a member of any religious organization.
So it was even Buhari that made that move...Damn!
That means all the "things" I've been hearing so far is true after all. CHANGE my foot then!!!

The people really want a change, I want change.
GEJ's government has not been good all the time infact bad.

But Buhari judging from all he has orchestrated and done in past, he is worse and to me bad really seems better than worse.

If you want a change, then be the change.

And I doubt if Buhari has changed after all this years.

B4 we were in a dictatorial regime where whatever the Head of State says is Final.
But we are naw in a democratic regime, where a bill cnt be passed except approved by the Legislature.
I will continue to say that its political immaturity that would make anynigerian to be thinking that Nigeria would be islamised.. Trash saying.
And if u think dat Gej cnt islamise ,then u are wrong.. D vice is a muslim, wat of if Gej is impeached nko??

Joining of OIC by Nigeria is akin to a fat man going to Mcdonalds for salads.
