Thanks for your eyewitness report and sorry about losing your slippers. undecided

When will Osogbo/Osun people also become wise and react same manner to AreGbese who is using their heads to play football while putting the bailout he received from Sai Baba in fixed deposit instead of paying OWED salaries & pensions to DYING workers and old pensioners?

Where is the change

At last, the masses have become wise that our politicians are using religion to fool us, stealing our commonwealth yet we respect them because they belong to our religion. Kudos to Kwara people. More of this should happen in other states Mosques and churches. Our political leaders must be taught to lead or be dealt with.

Am not a fan of politics and i dont support any politicians because i believe they are all the same, likewise when it comes to religion, am very conservative and dont argue abt religion with people, i believe in freedom of religion.

 It was by the grace of Almighty God witnessing another sallah on earth...being in ilorin this very moment afford me the opportunity to witness first hand how our suppose leaders have brainwash our political thinking with politics.

Am just in ilorin for some official engagement and as usual on every sallah day, we have to go to the eid ground for prayer and today was no exception.

I left with my guy as early as quarter to nine with the believe that prayer will be called at exactly 9am as i was used to in my area in Lagos but to my surprise when we got to gomola roundabout and everywhere was still free...my guy suggested we should stay around the junction as everywhere will be crowded soon but i decline saying we should get to the playing ground i even laugh it off that i will love to stay behind the imam to oversee all what will happen and listen to

 

we got to the eid ground and after looking for space, we got a space not too far to where the imam was and we can see the imam clearly, i mock my guy saying am enjoying d view instead of staying somewhere where i will just be listening to voice alone.

barely 20mins after we settled down, dat was about 20mins to 10am, we started hearing noice, most people were on their feet shouting and i started asking what was happening, somebody beside us said "maybe its saraki that arrived"....in other to do away with my curiousness, i stood up to peep and there it was, our senate president was the one that walked in...

everything was stand still from that moment and we couldnt hear any sermon again.....all we were hearing was side talk.....i guess after like 15mins of standstill and the imam couldnt help it again, all we heard was "sofullilahi" which signale that it was time for prayer.

 

We stood up and started praying but people were still making noise but by the time everywhere was silent that was when i started hearing some people shouting "ole" "ole"....."saraki ole"....everywhere was tensed that imam wanted to make mistake along the line during "rukuu" when he suppose to say "semi allahu limon amidahu (Only God knows who worship him)" and wanted to say "Allahu Akbar (Allah is great)"....but he corrected himself immediately.

The moment imam said "salam aleikum waramotullahi" signalling end of prayer, before those of us could respond to him, everywhere was scattered and people started scampering in different directions "ileya ooo" "e ma duro ooo (dont wait)" ....everybody around the place was running up and down finding the best available route outside the praying ground.....

 

some people started shouting "ole" "ole".....and started throwing stones....me and my guy had to hold ourselves and walk through a bush part to jump a fence outside the praying ground. I lost my slippers during d scuffle of trying to find my way out and had to walk barefooted to the main road.We could hear the agony of people on our way out saying "a ti gbon (we are wise)"....thief, they didnt pay our salary and they are enjoying with their families.....

from our observation, kwara people are tired of their livelihood, most of them are lamenting and some of them couldnt help it as they wanted to confront the police that were providing security at the praying ground saying they caused all this and were the one supporting the politicians...u dare not say anytyn positive about the government except u want to be lynched.

so my problem is, how do we get here? How did we get to a stage of mixing religion with politics that our prayers had to be standstill cos of arrival of the SP......how did we get to the situation of going to pray to God and wouldn't have peace of mind and be scared of something bad happening cos of politics and our politicians.

 

Definitely kwara/ilorin people at large are not happy with their leaders and politicians but should this be mixed with religion?

In your narration i cannot find where religion was mixed with politics.

Even at the point of prayers people are allowed to chase off a thief come to steal, or a snake come to kill.

To Kwarans Saraki is both a thief and a snake.

[quote author=tswitch post=38333180]OP your story reeks and it is not fish!

No picture of chaos.
No picture of stoning.
Inconsistencies in the story.(eg dram occurred at end of prayers in your report meanwhile it is middle of prayers in other reports)
Too much words and little detail concentrated around your "highlight".

The onus falls on you to provide a credible telling of your story else we call it exactly what it looks like - a poorly written fabrication from the cauldrons of the APC!

Muslims are violent people, Who always resort to violence and chaos at all times and all places. Even in the so called holy mosque.
Can you imagine this happening in the church? Capital No.
The violent gods must be very happy with this happening.
Mumu,who told you that such incident can't happen in a church? I am a christain but I dnt take rubbish from any rubbish;Saraki deserves what he got "we need change"

I was there too, I am in Ilorin for a function and had to pray at that ground; but I prayed at the back. Though I don't support saraki, i believe those people were hired, because i don't believe that a muslim that makes intention to go to eid, would be shouting OLE during salat.
People that distrupt salat of thousands because of worldly gains should fear Allah.
