Islamisation: Nigeria On Throes Of Jihad, Christian Elders Insist by GuntersChain(m): 1:40pm On Sep 11, 2017
LAGOS—THE National Christian Elders Forum, NCEF, has insisted that the Federal Government was planning to Islamise the country through Jihad. The group comprises different professionals and former senior army generals, including former Defence Minister, Theophilus Danjuma. In a statement entitled, “Jihad in Nigeria: Burying The Head in Sand,” and signed by NCEF chairman, Mr. Solomon Asemota, SAN, on September 6, the group was compelled to defend its earlier release in July this year entitled; “Correct Assessment of Situation in Nigeria,” which has generated a great deal of debate among some Nigerian Muslim leaders who have denied the reality of an ongoing Jihad in Nigeria, and clarified certain misconceptions in the interest of peace and development of Nigeria.

After reviewing unfolding events across the country, the eminent Christian elders in July this year, called on Nigerian leaders to tread softly to avoid a pending implosion, insisting that the real problem with the country was that a Jihad had been launched in Nigeria. It also contended that Islamists that have been interfering in the governance of the country, using “Taqiyya” (approved deception) as “Stealth/Civilization Jihad,” Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen as violent Jihad, were relentless in their pursuit of eradicating democracy in Nigeria. “The objective of the Islamists (political Islam) is to supplant the constitution of Nigeria with Sharia ideology as the source of legislation in the nation. ‘’The conflict between democracy as national ideology and Sharia as a usurping ideology is responsible for the crisis unfolding in Nigeria. The nation is in the throes of Jihad,’’ the group said. Nigeria moving dangerously close to national red line Noting that Nigeria was moving dangerously close to a national “red line” where truth was now being criminalized as “hate speech,” the NCEF said it was committed to the unity of Nigeria, contending that the duty of the leadership of the nation was to ensure that this unity was not sacrificed on the altar of sectarian interests and biases. It noted: “The NCEF is fully aware of the seriousness of these issues and wishes to share this information for the consideration of serious minds desirous of providing solutions to the myriad of problems confronting Nigeria. “The NCEF has taken on this onerous task, not for the interest of the present Christian elders, most of whom are in the boarding lounge to eternity, but in the interest of the coming generations.” NCEF challenges Muslim leaders The NCEF challenged Muslim leaders denying the existence of a jihad in the country to clarify certain pronouncements over the issue, including declaration by Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, in one of his videos in 2012 that the war they were prosecuting was not political but religious. It said: “It is between Muslims and unbelievers (arna). It will stop when Islamic religion is the determinant in governance in Nigeria or, in the alternative, when all fighters are annihilated and no one is left to continue the fight. “I warn all Muslims at this juncture that any Muslim who assists an unbeliever in this war should consider himself an unbeliever and should consider himself dead.” If this statement is not a declaration of Jihad, could Muslim leaders explain what this means?’’ The group further quoted Shekau as saying. Buhari’s agenda is for new Nigeria—Presidency Reacting, the Presidency denied the claim, saying President Buhari’s only agenda for the country was for a new Nigeria. The President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said: “The times in which we are do not call for unnecessary suspicion. The only agenda President Muhammadu Buhari has is emergence of a new Nigeria, safe, prosperous, corrupt free, where our children can have a future and a hope.”

[/b]" Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, in one of his videos in 2012 that the war they were prosecuting was not political but religious. It said: “It is between Muslims and unbelievers (arna). It will stop when Islamic religion is the determinant in governance in Nigeria or, in the alternative, when all fighters are annihilated and no one is left to continue the fight. “I warn all Muslims at this juncture that any Muslim who assists an unbeliever in this war should consider himself an unbeliever and should consider himself dead.”[b] Guess trend of events is still not clear for Christians esp.those in the northern region Hausa-Fulani just violating the sovereignty of this damned country at will yet none have been prosecuted,convicted or punished About 20 people including children were brutally killed in Jos recently.No word from the government.After all they once told us the killers are Malian/Lybians that're invisible to the Nigerian security forces. There is a grand but subtle plan to islamize Nigeria.Lets divide this country fast.

Cyynthia:
I will say this loud and clear, ......the earlier some of my fellow Yoruba Christians and progressive Yorubas use this opportunity Ipob has created and throw their weights behind Adeyinka Grandson to agitate for Oduduwa and separate totally form these northern Muslims, the better for all of us.

If you think that our Muslim brothers will support us in agitating for Oduduwa, then you need to have a second thought because they can never do that since some of them even have more value for northern muslims more than their own Yoruba brothers.
In fact, they are those who are always on Biafran thread to oppose Biafra because, they believe that once Biafrans leave, the urge for we progressive Yorubas to seceed from Nigeria will increase thereby making them to loose northern muslims they see as gods.
Islamization agenda is very real. We Yoruba Christians will be the worst hit once Igbos leave Nigeria .As for them to leave,they will definitely leave one day.
As it stands now, Igbos are those stabilising and checking the excesses of Muslim dominance in Nigeria today since 99.9℅ of them are Christians. We are doomed the day they will leave Nigeria.
Take look at that map I attached below, those states in the North are controlled by Sharia law, then, remove SS,SE and some middle belt states from Nigeria, because I know that some of Ss states and some north central states that are Christian states will like to leave with Igbos when the time comes because they won't like to stay with those religious extremist. Then, after they must have gone, Christians will have less number in Nigeria, thereby making Islamization agenda obtainable and easier.

PROGRESSIVE YORUBAS WAKE UP !!!!, STOP SITTING ON THE FENCE.JOIN ADEYINKA GRANDSON FOR ODUDUWA ACTUALIZATION NOW !!

Lalasticlala, move this to the front page immediately.
Big up dearie.

yoromozlems like sarrki are being used to deceive yoruba christians and other anti-Biafrans.

We all know that men like Nnamdi Kanu have been thr greatest source of headache for the Jihadists so they want kill him. I pity non-muslims who are in support of jailing Kanu and dancing Jihadists rhythm. When the fula Jihadists strike them, we will be here to laugh at them.

Yet no concrete evidence of any Christian forcefully converted to Islam or laws being pushed that threatens to take away only Christian freedoms.
I am a Christian but I don't enjoy this victim mentality of some of us. Flip the roles and Imagine how you will react if the other religion always accuses you of everything imaginable under the sun? How easy is it to return love and understanding to such group?
If Islam has an agenda, they are entitled to it, what is the Christian agenda? Definitely it can't be whining and crying about real and imaginary enemies. Why can't we be more focused our our agenda than become reactionary to the other group's agenda? Are we so disorganised and bereft of ideas that we become so paranoid and cry on sight of any shadow.
