jjcbuthot: What is this retardeen called cleric expecting from a xtian gov in Lagos? The criminals that we chase out of power in Ogun (Daniel), Oyo (Alao Akala), Osun (Oyinlola), and Ekiti (Oni), are they not xtians? Will any of the states mentioned above ever want anything associated with those characters in their states again?

These so called xtians clerics are so dull and very lazy thinkers. Anyway, it is when people don't fit anywhere that they go into religion as a means of livelihood.

And if we have to base voting on religion, how many states in SW will have any xtian in government?

To answer the bolded question, maybe only Oyo state won't have a Christian government. Don't you ever wonder why Tinubu always felt the need to be seen at Adeboye's redemption camp?

Pee2k3: good talk, what a loyal slave u are

@ pee2K3, i saw t'he quote of t'he writter {iwanchop} but t'he last part of his writing he said they should pls allow peace to reign between christian and moslems in lagos o! Come who is fooling who? So when christians are asking for what is their legitamate right some people are saying christians want to cause trouble, abeg wake up and smell t'he roses this is not slavery matter its t'he right to fairness, equity, justice and harmonious relationship, moslems have ruled lagos about 20 years straight or so, we christians desire to rule lagos also period, this is fact, try controvert it instead of abuses am too polished to hull abuses at people. a

saxywale:
Would have been an excellent statement but Shobo is a name indigenous to lagos so which village are you referring to?

That name is indigenous to the Egba people of Abeokuta, but would not doubt some might have settled in Lagos early on like other Egba families a la Tinubu.

. Gbam my brother, u spoke well, not only tinubu plus his wife and fasholas wife they are always at the redemption camp to ask for blessings and plead for political support, if u guys dont know t'he population of christian in lagos is far more than moslem, so why cant tinubu project a chriStian governor?, i tink i remember vaguely how pedro was cleaverly skeemed out of office as deputy governor because he wanted to succed tinubu, off course pedro was a christian that was t'he main problem, tinubu and t'he palace wanted a muslim candidate, read between t'he lines

Battle of Lagos is the Battle between Majority Yoruba Christians and Minority Yoruba Moslems.
Minority Yoruba moslems are secretly clearing ground to permanently impose their will on Majority Yoruba Christians.
Yoruba moslems are very crafty and are well organised than Majority Yoruba Christians, if their plans goes well as planned Pastor Enoch Adeboye is going to change to Imam Enoch bin Adeboye.

The population of indigenous Muslims in Lagos may be more than the indegenous Christian population but the total number of Christians that live in Lagos is way more than the Muslims. It's not even a contest.

PAGAN 9JA:
i dont get why my post has been deleted. ofcourse it is the usual discrimination against Pagans by Mods.


I repeat, christians have NO right to ask for a christian governor.

WE NEED A TRADITIONALIST GOVERNOR!

majority of them are traditionalists anyway. They go as far as India for charms.

cool down, your priests get their own version of tithe.

iwanchop:

Akwa Ibom 2015:it must be a Muslim governor or no Akwa Ibom.

Dear Iwanchop, you for go chop before you come and talk to me! Mind you, Akwa-Ibom's population is 99.9% Christians and 0000000000.1% Traditionlist, while Lagos is roughly 60 to 70% Christians and they dont allow them to rule!!! Haba!

Your assertion is spot on. The problem as identified by the cleric is the apathy Yoruba Christians have towards politics as opposed to the Yoruba muslims fanatical interest. However, performance should always trump religious affiliation when electing our leaders.

It's only Oyo state that can be said to be markedly majority Muslim by indigenous population, which reduces to a weak majority if one considers the voting population (greater Yoruba population and other tribes resident there).

Is this about the Igbo presence in Lagos? Don't these people travel home to cast their votes?

stop lying. The Yoruba Muslims are the majority.

The real Lagosians are mainly Muslims starting from Oba Akeredolu(hope I got it right)

It's not just about the Igbo population in Lagos. Lagos is dominated by mainly southerners and the dominant religion in the south is Christianity. The Muslim population doesn't even come close. There's a reason why you have numerous churches in one street alone while mosques are fewer in number. I find it ignorant that people still have the opinion that Igbos travel to the east to vote. That is preposterous. If Igbos all travel to the east then how come the number of voters in Lagos still reflect the population?

You are a big Liar, Yorubas Christians are Majority (70%), Yoruba Moslems/Taliban Yorubas are Minority (30%)

This cleric must be smoking something i have never seen b4, Muslims must always be gov for lagos as they are the majority in Lagos. Also the party that controls SW is headed by a muslim so its only right he picks who he can work with without any misunderstanding.

even t'he inddgenious christians still eclipse t'he moslem in numbers, look back into history as at when t'he christian missionaries came to t'he west, bult cms grammer school, churches and commenced massive evangelism of t'he people, islam as a religion was not yet in the west as at then. Make una bone, the population of christian both indigens or non indigence over blast t'he moslem population in lagos so therefore, 2015 elction acn must field a christian candidate to balance tins out or they may be gradually putting lagos over a keg of gun powder. a

You should have left it at your first statement. Most Lagos governors are Muslims because people don't care which religion the governor belongs to and not because Muslims are Majority in Lagos.

Whatever alien religion a King might choose which ordinarily differs from the traditional doesn't confer same religion on the indigenous population. Lagosians are Christians and Muslims because they chose to, not because a traditonal king chose to become Christian or Muslim.

I used to argue that the indegenous Christian population was more than the Muslim population but i started thinking otherwise when i discovered that a lot of young Christians of Lagos origin used to be Musliims and their Fathers are still muslims.

Afam4eva:

She might be right if we consider Lagos as old Lagos alone(Eko), and also disregard its returnee population(from the Caribbeans and Brazil). If we however put to consideration the entirety of Lagos as a State and the population indegenous to each of the areas, then the Muslim majority begins to wane. Care must be taken not to mistake the religion of the nobles as the religion of the masses.

So there are no indigenous Akwa Ibomites that are muslims Abi?
Go and do your research very well,that's by the way.
Mr Akpan(the errand boy) please I really want to know who you are to have written this ' Lagos 2015: it must
be a Christian governor or no
lagos!!! '.Lagos is about 10 -12 hours journey by road from your village,how dare you say such a thing.Omo atoko wa bale je.
You better go and destroy your state before you do same to Lagos,what you will never allow any visitor do in your state is what u have come to Lagos to preach abi ...

duality:

My friend, speak for yourself. there are lots who do care. if no one cares as you think this story will not arise. Lagos is lucky to have an administrator
who is prudent with religious issues. if Lagos had someone
like senator Yerima as Gov, you will know that Lagosians are Nigerians who take religion seriously.

unfortunately for you.....fashola is not yerima,lagos is not zamfara,south is not north and yoruba is not hausa...so ur religion theory doesnt count....leave us alone it is our own headache not urs!!!!!!!!!!

It's just unfortunate that most if u make comments from the corners of your rooms.
Have you ever been to Lagos?
If yes,how many years have you spent or did you spend in Lagos?
Because if you are conversant with Lagos,you would know that most indigenous Lagosians are Muslims.If you don't know you ask .I'm an Awori man so I know what i'm saying

with Oyo state having 80% Muslims as an estimate, we wont only continuously have Muslim governors but Muslim first ladies as well.

The bigot called cleric should be arrested like someone said.

there is no difference between you and d cleric.
Be decieveing urself, 80% ko,120% ni...clueless woman.
Who cares whether u v muslim governor forever-as long as he does9t force us to go to mosques; as long as he allows freedom of worship; as long as he gives d ppl d dividends of democracy!
Like being a governor will take someone to heaven...smh

I am very careful about what I post and that is the reason for the question marks.

You mentioned other southerners. it doesn't change that you are hammering the presence of others in Lagos.That is the point.

and about the numerous churches, you of course don't need me to explain how they are business driven. A Muslim can pray anywhere anyway. In fact, conservative Muslims would frown at building gigantic mosques and over beautifying them.

deols:

Yourself is fooling you.

What has religion got to do with good governance?. We have been deceived so long with these religious jingoism, this is the time to let these poli-religous opportunists know that they are talking non-sense.

It is impossible to underestimate the division religion causes among people, even those of the same race, background and tribe.

The animosity is astounding. How can one claim to love God and it's creations but yet show so much disdain at the same time.

This is sad. I hope the respective gods are proud and content with the behavior of their respective subjects.
