Sharia is meant for Muslims and not Christians and part of the Muslim religion. How is that your concern? Zamfara state started the sharia law during obasanjo's administration but never have you heard there's being ethnic or religious uproar in that state.
Who is more ethnic and religious bigoted like Jonathan,Sambo and PDP who keep dividing Nigerians along ethnic and religious lines?

angryThis is what happen when Sharia law was introduced! Where do you guys get this your stories and fake accusations?

In May 1999 violence erupted in Kaduna State over the succession of an Emir resulting in more than 100 deaths. In Kaduna in February-May 2000 over 1,000 people died in rioting over the introduction of criminal Shar'ia in the State. Hundreds of ethnic Hausa were killed in reprisal attacks in southeastern Nigeria. In September 2001, over 2,000 were people were killed in inter-religious rioting in Jos. In October 2001, hundred were killed and thousands displaced in communal violence that spread across the Middle-Belt states of Benue, Taraba, and Nasarawa.
Plateau State has the highest number of displaced people as a result of clashes between Christians and Muslim communities there. The predominantly Christian Tarok farmers consider the mostly Muslim Hausa cattle herders as outsiders, and accuse them of stealing land and trying to usurp political power. These had led to the burning down of 72 villages over between 2002 and the end of 2003. More than 1,000 people were killed in sectarian clashes between Christians and Muslims in Jos, the Plateau State capital, in September 2001. Subsequently a low intensity conflict spread to the surrounding countryside, where the mainly Christian farmers clashed repeatedly with the predominantly Muslim livestock herders. Several hundred more people died in these skirmishes, which forced several thousand people to abandon their homes. Most of the clashes in Plateau have been portrayed as being between Christian and Muslim communities, but have often assumed an ethnic dimension.

A further 45 had been arrested and 40 had been injured after mobs of youths armed with clubs, machetes and jerry cans of petrol roamed the streets on predominantly Muslim Kano, attacking suspected Christians. An estimated 10,000 Kano residents, mostly Christians fleeing from their homes in troubled parts of the city, took refuge at the main military and police barracks on 11 May 2004.

At least 57,000 people fled their homes following sectarian violence involving Christians and Muslims in northern and central Nigeria. More than 30,000 Christians have been displaced from their homes in Kano, the largest city in northern Nigeria, which was racked by religious violence on Tuesday and Wednesday. A further 27,000 displaced people had sought refuge in Bauchi state in east central Nigeria following a massacre of Muslims by Christian gangs in neighbouring Plateau state earlier in May.

President Olusegun Obasanjo declared a state of emergency in Plateau State in central Nigeria on 18 May 2004, following the Christian
massacre of Muslims that in turn led to reprisal killings of Christians in the northern city of Kano. The bloodletting had claimed more than 2,000 lives since September 2001.

Excerpt from the article;

"Under the Government of the previous President, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari, many Christian schools were taken over by the state, and permits to build churches were held up while the construction of mosques was stepped up".

Well done Sunnybobo, they can never counter what we bringem. They just say idiotic things like "Whats the Source" "Buhari is Clean As A Slate" everyday. Because of millions they dashed to spread lies and wash a pig, they want Nigerians to just be infected with mumuism?

Why did the sponsors of the propaganda against Buhari shown on some TV stations forget to mention that he seized christian schools and stopped the building of churches?

seizing of christian missionary schools from the owners by government is not a new thing. Its been happening and the matter resolved. It has nothing to do with islamization of Nigeria.
By now, you should've known that Buhari is a " BAD MARKET". My sister, give it up, Leopard can never change its spot.
