Empiree: All this one you are talking is tales by moonlight. Pantami is a terrorist sympathizer that respects murderers. Such a person, whether Christian or Muslim should not hold a sensitive position in a country. He is a bad image on the country. |

Simplyleo: It's not about SIM and NIN anymore, you mofo. Before the revelation that Pantami was a terrorist sympathizer, we were complying and linking our SIM to our NIN. Even if he resigns, he will still link our SIM to our NIN. Why can't you guys see the big picture. If a Christian was in Pantami's shoes and it was discovered that he was once sympathetic to radical Christians who attacked and beheaded Muslims, you guys would have called for his resignation or sack. Hypocrites! 2 Likes |

GOTVee: Oga shut up. Being a Christian doesn’t guarantee you sense. You no get sense. Is Nnamdi Kanu a government appointee? If NK was a government appointee, do you think he will still be in government with all his agendas? Even Sunday Igboho that the yorubas are supporting is not a minister or government appointee. Their cases are different from the minister’s own. Nobody is calling for Pantami’s head yet. He should just resign from the office because of his religious bigotry. Mumu dey ask for proof. Go online and do your findings. You are here looking for proof, and the Pantami guy has apologized to Nigerians for all he said in the past. Go online, google is your friend. Come back here and apologize to nairalanders for supporting Pantami. Mumu 4 Likes

His extremist views are now exposed and he should do the honorable thing and resign. So talking about economy is tales by moonlight. |

TheGoodJoe:Pantami and the hypocrisy of his detractors - By Fredrick Nwabufo Profiling. Targeting. Scapegoating. In Nigeria, you are more likely to effectuate wry remarks and suspicious stares if you are the prototypical Muslim with full-bred beard, a ‘’decimal point’’ on your forehead – a sign of your devotion to Almighty Allah, and apparelled in modest trousers that stand aloof from the ankle than if you are a Bible-wielding evangelist piercing the dawn quietude of a drowsy neighbourhood with screams and shrieks of ‘’repentance’’. We live in a country that is autochthonously Christianised. Our ways are Christian. It is commonplace to profile Muslims who hold strong beliefs as ‘’extremists’’ but not Christians who arrogantly profess their beliefs anywhere and everywhere, even commanding obeisance to their faith. I have never heard any Christian described as an extremist – even when some church leaders make galling and inflammatory statements. In the build-up to the 2015 presidential election, Bishop Oyedepo vowed to open the floodgates of hell on the opponents of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Is this not an incendiary statement – by a man of god? This pastor also physically assaulted a penitent who came to his church for deliverance. But it was excused because he is a Christian leader. Christians are not extremists even when their actions vouchsafe this fact – but any Muslim can be summarily tagged an ‘’extremist?’’ When a Christian leader makes extremist comments, we call it ‘’holy anger’’. It is hypocrisy. In 2017, the DSS attempted to arrest Pastor Johnson Suleman after he publicly said he asked his security guards to kill any Fulani intruder around his church. He also threatened the government after state agents swooped in on a hotel he took residence in Ekiti. In addition, Pastor Enenche and others in the same phylum have made ungodly threats that border on bigotry and extremism. But they were all palliated – because they are Christian leaders. It is hypocrisy. Our society is subliminally attuned to certain precepts and ways that are predominantly Christian. Any otherness sets off an alarm. It is societal conditioning. Our society has been conditioned to readily see some people in one divide as ‘’extremists’’ and others in another category as ‘’devotees’’. A conditioning in hypocrisy. The avalanche of attacks – both sponsored and taxied – against Isa Ibrahim Pantami, minister of communication and digital economy, accents some Nigerians’ atavism and aboriginal hypocrisy. I would not want to dwell on the contents of some videos and abstracts rippling on social media because they have been politically ammunitioned for not kosher ends. Pantami’s only offence could be that he is a Sheikh heading a vital government ministry. Yes, some bigoted interests find his being a Sheikh in a sensitive public office exasperating. They cannot stand the fact that a notable Muslim leader is the superintendent of a key ministry. But Pantami is not just any Sheikh. He is a technocrat who knows his onions. He is not fish out of water at the ministry of communications. He trained as a computer scientist, obtaining a PhD from Robert Gordon University in Scotland. He bagged sterling credentials from Ivy-league schools like Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He also attended Cambridge in the UK. But bigotry clouds the mind of those who see him as a Sheikh who has no business in the communications ministry. As a matter of fact, the kindler of the current social media blitz against the minister is beyond ‘’what he said or did not say in the past’’. Some interests in the communications industry who perceive him as impervious to inducement, a non-conformist and a strong character are working in the shadows. Pantami has taken some hard-line-decisions against the industry vultures that are desperate to draw blood. The controversy is a smokescreen to exact vengeance. Nigerians should not unwarily cavort on the playground of this horde. The truth is for every of Pantami’s detractor, the cause for grouse are interests not being served. The minister is not playing ball, hence, veiled daggers drawn. Those calling for Pantami’s resignation do not mean well for Nigeria. I believe he should be judged by his stewardship at the ministry of communications — not by his faith. If the social media blitzkrieg against the minister is because of his performance at the ministry, that will be a different matter. But it is not. Pantami is perhaps one of the most resourceful and responsive communications ministers Nigeria has ever had. Again, the minister should be judged according to his work at the ministry. And he has done a good job of that. I will not join the multitude to commit murder. |

I am concerned with your words that you are a Christian. You didn't sound like one. What you wrote is terribly biased. Is it only Christian that is asking for his resignation? Even if it is, is it not also right for people from other religion allow proper check on what could become national security if found to be true? If the story is just the past issue and that he had repented then we let him be. Are you saying President Buhari is a perfect man who could not have employed him in error? Everybody has past, yes. Let the right people do the necessary investigation on Pantami, if he is found wanting let him go and if he is clean let him stay. Don't just discard the complain of the public. If we continue with this bias attitude Nigeria will never grow. But we all know that many Nigerian are selfish and self centered. When an issue is affecting the public and one Nigerian alone is benefitting from the issue, he or she won't like investigation and truth. Such will not want it to be checked. GOTVee: |

As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, I'm ashamed of the level of hypocrisy displayed by we southerners especially we Christians in this incessant calls for Pantami's resignation. What has pantami done wrong for God's sake? How many of us don't have some misdeeds in the past? Why can't we practice the teachings of our lord Jesus christ who admonished us to love our neighbors as ourselves? When Nnamdi Kanu formed IPOB that later metamorphosed into a terrorist group we southerners were supporting him. Kanu was tried and convicted and became a fugitive yet we kept supporting him. Pantami has never been convicted nor tried in any court yet we are calling for his head. Are we not meant to be our brothers keeper? What proof do we Christians have to call him an extremist just because he mandated us to register for NIN. Why this sudden media trial and blackmail? Why can't we emulate northerners who always stand by themselves no matter what? Are we not ashamed that our country's name is been dragged in the mud by this baseless accusations? Pantami is going no where. We have terrible people amongst we Christians too but we shield them rather than call them out. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a Christian. Honestly
