Separation Of State And Religion by AZeD1(m): 11:26am On Jul 20, 2013 |
While Nigerians are calling for the repealing of the paedophile act recently passed by the senate, I think it's also time sensible Nigerians take a stand on the separation of state and religion. I'm a Christian but it's my personal choice and Nigeria should not force people to live by my Christian doctrine. Same goes for Islam. Those in support of the child molestation act did so under the guise of Islam. In order to put a stop to all this, we need to separate state from religion. 3 Likes |

The constitution clearly states that Nigeria is a secular state. Recent events however shows otherwise. Government today has been so rooted with religion to the extent that some confused souls are clamoring for ridiculous religious laws. Very unfortunate is the recent child molestation act passed by the highly respected House of Senate! That is a recipe for disaster! It contradict the basic rights of freedom and a blatant disregard of the constitution. What the senate had done will only give way to more abuse, impunity, disobedience of the law, and unconstitutional acts that will be perpetrated all in the name of religion. Until religion is rooted out of governance, Nigeria will slide into the pit religious bigotry and conflicts leading to a total breakdown of law and order. 2 Likes |
