People came before tribes, and tribes preceeded religions, if we have this in minds we will know religion should be to blend tribes and make them good people that love and have mercy on others. Any religion that fails to achieve this is not worth to exist.

Kwara people should explain reasons for that. Myself experienced cases of intolerance in some places in Kwara when I was there. The reason might be closeness of the State to North.

fashola needs his head examined. well i am older than him so i could give him older brotherly advise.

no marriage of a muslim is a marriage unless it is a nikah. nikah alone and nothing else with it.

in yoruba culture and every culture except the jew and that is really half baked culture because of their insincerity, father is always the 'owner' of children; this means religion, hometown, family name because the blood is from the father.

for fashola to confuse his children if he can't sell Islam to his wife, he shouldn't throw his children away from Islam. how is he with all his luxury gonna stand before Al Rahman that his non muslim wife over rode the commandment of The One Whose Commandment Over rides all?

i am yoruba. yoruba muslims need to step up their commitment on the 'way of success'.

Who says fashola is a Muslim. Politically of course in the public he is. He is a secret follower of Jesus like Nichodemus.

I have always loved and admired religion tolerance. And I've always prayed and wished for a Muslim lady for a wife.
My friend's parents while I was in Secondary school were my role models and inspiration - married for over 30 years - the man an Imam/Alfa, while the woman a strong Christian women leader in her church.
God please give me a Muslim lady for a wife - she does her thing, I do mine.

I know you're finding it very difficult to believe [there are actually people like these]. But have you ever considered there are people out there who have strong views and orientations and social inclinations completely different from yours?
When we talk about education and acquiring education, this is hugely one of the reasons for such clamourings. Education is NOT all about the degrees/certificates BUT [about] TOTAL LIBERATION AND EMANCIPATION!!

oga, age is not a measure of intelligence. If you were smarter than him, how come you are not the governor?
i hope you are not saying that fashola is the most intelligent lagosian. if this is not your position, then you are on my side because i only spoke towards his Islam. i couldn't marry a woman who will not allow the nikah to be the process of my union with her. in fact i will not marry a non muslim. period. what i say about fashola, age is a relevant factor based on experience. in islam, age count for something positive. this may be the reason you don't find a 70 year old man going to syria to going isis or rush to boko haraam camp to begin their foolishness. again, my advise is about his religion and how he has been over ran by his wife on their children. bola tinubu does not allow remi ikusebiala tinubu to take their children to church. there is a difference there and you can't love or let the wish of your spouse be the rule over what commands. those who obey creation instead of Creator, they worship the creation they obey.

Muslim and catholic has little difference. In fact history has it that Muhammed learnt most things from the Catholic church which was then practicing the backsliding form of ChrisTianity. Things like Fatima, repeating prayers with beads, scapula(a talisman-looking object hung around the waist or neck), etc are practiced by both faith and not in the Bible

Your MUMU should be spelled in the upper case! Where on earth have u heard or seen a group of Christians lifting arms to against innocent people? I'm not saying all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims!!

You've just reasserted your MUMU SYNDROME. You are obviously a product of Christian Extremism with an unenlightened brainwash. Your word "All Terrorists are Muslims" reflects that you may not even have a clue as to what terrorism denotes, and its real evolution.

To educated your limited exposure and extremist brainwash, their are numberless Christian Terrorist Groups and Personalities. But people like you won't know because you're only been fed by the Islamophobic Western media who will always fail to project the other side.

What do you call the following:
The Christian Terrorists in CAR - The Lord Resistant Army Christian terrorist group - The brutal Colonial Masters who also claimed that spreading the Gospel is part of their mission - The brutality of Adolf Hitler who was a Christian - The Crusaders Movement of the previous Century who murdered thousands of Muslims - The Illegitimate invasion of Iraq which George Bush has described as a "Crusade", and has claimed lives of thousands of civilians - The National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and several others.

However, even if they present themselves to be acting for Christianity, we all firmly believe that their brutality is contrary to the pure and loving message of Christ.
This is the same way Muslims too encourage you to view the Boko Haram and the likes, and stop spreading Hate among humanity.


A word is enough for the wise.

Speaking to Channels TV In an interview yesterday, First Lady of Lagos state, Dame Abimbola Fashola explained how she and governor Fashola have been able to manage their home despite their religious differences. Abimbola who is Catholic, while her husband, Fashola is a Muslim, has this to say;

"We got married in the Church, the Catholic church, that is who I am, that's where you will take me from and that was done. But ever since then my husband has practiced his religion and I have practiced mine. There is no trouble whatsoever. My husband has his own part of the house where he prays, I have my own altar there with my crucifix and my rosary and everything and everyone is minding their own business. When its time for family prayer, we pray. I pray mine to the name of Jesus Christ while he prays in Allah's name & the children understand all that. My children are baptized and they go to church. When he wants them to go to mosque with him they go to the mosque with him."

A lot of us need to learn from this. Who knows if both of them rejected each other based on religious bias, they might not have achieved such a great destiny?

Mrs Fashola also revealed that to get her husband to do something she wants personally, he would ask her to put it in writing so that he would not forget and give it urgent attention. She said it has become important now that everything that she needs to be done has to be documented and passed to her husband because that is how he says he can manage the homefront and the state effectively.

I'm passing through similar experience now,thought not yet married I have a girlfriend which we loved each other but we're almost opposite on all front yet we're still together.I'm a northern muslim while she's a south western christian whose mom is from the south eastern part. We even share opposite political view,while I root for most APC candidates she's a staunch PDP and GEJ's fan,infact she is already planing on how to laugh at me if GEJ wins this election.She's a born again christian that doesn't joke with her religion. While we ague and fight most times,our love always end up prevailing though I must admit that I'm very patient with her. We met while she was doing her HND,and I was newly posted to the state in my working place,she's going for her youth service this may. The problem now is I don't know if my family will accept her and verse versa,but truly we do love each other,but I kept on having this doubt,I have a northern muslim girl too but I love my christian girl more. But I'm afraid,the religious,cultural e.t.c might just be too much for me,please Nairalanders I need ur advice,thanx.

If that's how they want to live, its good for them.The Yoruba probably has the highest number of Muslims converts to Christianity per population in the world.Quite a number of families are like the Fashola's and you can't be any judge over your brother.
The Yoruba are culturally inclined people and its one of the most liberal people in the world

An assault from any Christian group against Muslims must be a reprisal attack. Need I remind u again of ur religious background, how Islam was introduced in Nigeria? What's with the barbaric rituals of cutting throats or crucifixion after reading from the Quran? It has always been sword and compulsion. Most countries in the world's most corrupt list are there because of Islam.
And don't you misquote me again. I said "not all. .". But u must agree with me that the north is well-known for their religious extremism and violence. It's not like that in the West. That's why Fashola is able to live with a Christian wife
