have u heard the word secular

GogetterMD:

BH has pledged alliance to Daesh(IS), so it's more of a splinter terror cell of ISIS in west Africa. Now they want to form a coalition to cut ISIS down to size (much like the MNJTF), you are here claiming islamization of Nigeria. Like say more than half the population of Nigerians ain't Muslims before.
Now that help is minimal and we need as many hands as possible to put an end to this scourge once and forall, CAN is here spilling balderdash.

P.S. before you start shouting and screaming Arab nations, don't forget that Isreal is also an Arab nation

emecheboy2:
I wonder why Nigerians don't face realty on ground, just about two to three days ago CNN and Aljazeera mentioned Nigeria as one of the islamic countries joining the coalition to fight terrorism. I even posted this issue on my facebook wall and almost everybody ignored me. Nigeria has being a member since the military era and i expected the CAN president to fight for that course during GEJ tenure but meanwhile is was acquiring wealth.
Buhari practices sunni islam and he will not do anything about it unless a Christian leader who is willing get there and delist our membership from this unholy union.

What the hell! A times I just feel some of you are just myopic..I beg to say.

This is not about being an Arab nation or not. We are plagued by boko haram that swore allegiance with Isis. if anything we should be glad that we are among the team who are at the fore front of destroying Isis/boko haram.

imagine Isis getting destabilize! imagine they lack power...resource and man power. now Imagine how that will affect boko haram morale. a lot of them by the grace of God will give up.

TonyeBarcanista:

bros you see one of the problems of some of our ethnic and religious leaders is hypocrisy. Another is cluelessness, while another is blowing unnecessary alarm.

First, A Christian(Gowon) enlisted Nigeria as associate/observing member of OIC. Where was CAN? CAN remembered to raise their voice when IBB got Nigeria enlisted fully as OIC member in 1986 but everybody accepted and moved on. When the constitution was drafted and there was recognition of Sharia and Sharia courts, where was CAN? CAN only sprang up when Gov Sani Yerima of Zamfara state, Kwankwaso of Kano state, Ahmed Makarfi of Kaduna state and other Govs decided to implement the Sharia rule(which has constitutional legitimacy) in their domains. Even Obasanjo couldn't do anything because it was 'constitutional'. When OBJ himself atteended OIC conference where was can? When Jonathan did, where was CAN? When Yar'adua reaffirmed our membership, where was CAN?

The implication of OIC membership is that we have agreed to be Islamic Country. We may not all be muslims but our country wears Islamic regalia. Cameroon for instance is not within the geography of Central Africa but they signed up to be Central African State.

If we have been accepting the interest-free loans and grants from OIC and member states, why should we now oppose military alliance? So you see my angle?

There's nothing in Nigeria that points she's secular. She only appears secular in constitution but not in practice.

You guys should get it into your thick skulls , NIGERIA IS AN ISLAMIC STATE!!!

The boko Haram we fight here has pledged allegiance with ISIS , so what's wrong in being listed among nations that would fight them?

I'm not a muslim either but the countries you mentioned are not OIC members. Nigeria isn't as secular as you think. If it is secular, we won't be having religious pilgrimage boards, neither will part of the country be practising sharia.

And why do you want to force your religion into other people's throat? For your information, Nigeria isn't AN ISLAMIC STATE!

LadyExcellency:



Your understanding of international diplomacy and alliances is warp to say the least.

What has OIC (notwithstanding subsisting debate) got to do with this Confraternity of Arab (Sunni) Countries? You mean we can't have Non-align nations against ISIS even in OIC?

In this instance, we are faced with matters of wars and international alliances between people of the same religion, people and culture and moreover APC specifically designate Nigeria as a multicultural secular Country with no religious alignment whatsoever.

[size=24pt]NIGERIA IS A SECULAR COUNTRY[/size]

Anyone can worship anything. Don't even try and think this ur sttmnt is mainstream. Even a notherner cannot call this a muslim country. And u say ur not Muslim & ur preaching this falsehood.

jcmaiah:

What is wrong is that we are an Islamic nation simple! The north has tried several times to Islamize Nigeria, they will keep failing cos we serve a living God.

neoapocalypse:



What religion ? if you must know I'm atheist but I was born as a Christian

And Nigeria is an Islamic state by virtue of its membership to OIC , if you don't like that then by all means challenge that but facts remain facts

10.- Prohibition of state eligion

The Government of the Federation or of a State shall not adopt any religion as State Religion.

Ibb government was a military government and arbitrary promoted lot of things including corruption.

Nigeria is now under democracy and what guides us now is the section of the Constitution I quoted above.

I wrote a paper on this, wish it is in soft copy, would have shared it, you will realise that we even have more Christian and other religions in the North than the muslims.

gimakon:


So, the Muslims would be at war then Nigerians will go, and fight to redeem your madness? And die for nothing? Because of people like you China banned islam. If I had my chances of being Mr President, I would hang you for this crap you scribbled here in your folly.
