On the contrary, Islam will never 'dislike' you. It encourages you to see the light not to embrace darkness and deceit.

why not go to Abuja and tell F.G that they should reduce it to one day since Easter and 25th dec is also one day.

I never used the word "HATE", I said dislike. Besides, I talked about the religion itself not the people practicing the religion...

What statement did I make? Did I tell you I hate Islam, I simply said "as much as I dislike Islamic pratice", what's all the fuss about? Does that make me a religious hater? Nna, see me see trouble o...

Why are a lot of you sentimental? You're right, we have different perspective. There's nothing abusive in what I said, I only aired my humble opinion.

Again, I do not "HATE" Islam, hate is a strong word, I only said I dislike their practice. If many of you cannot deal with it, I'm sorry but that's your problem.

Why should I go to Abuja, didn't I just say "in all fairness", they should have one day? If you make a better argument, then it's cool in the game...

A lot of you folks on here are just sentimental cargoes, chai,

I have seen the light not to embrace darkness, HATE and DISLIKE are two different things. If I was a religious hater, I would have been a member of terror organizations the U.S. recognizes as terror groups. I DO NOT HATE ISLAM, like I said, I dislike it practice and what it stands for. That I don't like my boss don't mean I don't accomodate her, nor go into her office, seat, chat and discuss details with her. It just means that such relationship isn't there... I dislike Islamic practice doesn't mean I cannot accomodate nor acknowledge their practitioners.

Whatever they say about Jaganba of Africa is sentiment and anger. The only state functioning in Nigeria today is Lagos, because of the legacy laid by Asiwaju there is no one in Nigeria that can match Tinubu’s achievement all of you that criticise him are mediocrities .Ondo state for example has potential to compete with Lagos in term of infrastructure and economy development. Mimiko has not use the so much wealth and potentials to attract any investor to the state. No single foreign direct investment and public private partnership, all we can see is inducing individual and group with cash to speak on his behalf over 400 million spent on declaration day economic wise this money can create job for 10,000 people not to talk of more than 500billion subvention excluding loan and internal generated revenue.

No single industries function in the state. The state that has the second largest deposit of bitumen in the world Iroko is not expose to attract investor to tap huge resource available in the state .

Ondo state has the largest level of unemployment in Nigeria. Akeredolu is on rescue mission. Mimiko is doing all these within is exposure and capacity not capable of delivery 21st century dividend of democracy. AKETI has travelled far and wide and has all it takes to transform the state within a short period of timeif given opportunity.

This is same thing I said about one thread - Tolerance. Maclatunji or whatever his name is banned me for speaking out the truth - what they preach on that thread, they weren't exhibiting, anyway, I've decided not to go into war of words with no one.

Out of the intents of my heart, what I said wasn't out of hate, but simply expressing my own opinion based on experience... That's good enough for me.
