Would you vote for a politician who happened to be one of the three or a combination

Would you want a Sango worshiper as your president

No. I am very biased in that regard.

Definitely the Sango Worshipper!! All the others are most definitely possessed by demons!!

I would rather vote for an openly gay politician. Especially since i have heard that there are "bible-believing" homosexuals. They may have skipped the sexuality part of the bible, but they still believe in the other parts.

kobo haba?  Ifa or Amadiorha worshipers arent cool  

C2H5OH:

Why are you biased in that regard considering this is a politicians with a solid track record.

Let's say he was an ideal politician because the little umm quirk, won't you tolerate him/her?

So you only vote for bible-believing politicians? What if the politician was one of those polygamous African church politicians? and get ur lazy ass off a-40's bed 

polygamous people are hell-fire bound; if you make them rule over you, they will take you along with them!

Bawo, screw you!
I prefer to vote for people that have a belief that i can tolerate e.g. Allah or God. Those other two options are not my cup of tea because I don't agree at alllllllllll with their beliefs.

Can't it be argued their beliefs are personals and have nothing to do with how good a leader they can be. Why can't you tolerate an Ifa worshipper though.

be expecting a visit from Uncle sege and Gov yaguda 

Bawomolo, wassup with you and homosexuality?

@post
None of them.

i concur

Why would a belief be personal? What good is a belief if you can not stand up for it?

You have to agree that in as much as most politicians try to separate their religion from the state, it somehow always re-surfaces. I cannot tolerate Ifa worshipper because I know the amount of plagues that will come upon our country will be too many to count. Besides, It's a matter of ME voting shey? It's in my opinion so I guess different strokes for different people.

Kobojunkie:

It's my vote! I can do with it as I want. It's my personal right, isn't it?

Kobojunkie:

Why would a belief be personal?

Why won't it?
Is it not what you chose? your decision?

What are you trying to imply here? Why no to all three? What makes you think an Ifa priest can't be a good leader.  His etutu could end the recession you know.

Kobojunkie:

Why would a belief be personal?

meaning his belief (sexual orientation blah blah blah) wont directly affect his job as a leader.

I cannot tolerate Ifa worshipper because I know the amount of plagues that will come upon our country will be too many to count

you wicked o, are you saying an Ifa worshiping or atheist president would bring problems on the nation  

you ye ye people should stop concurring. state why you concurr

Ok! so are you saying now that belief MATTERS? Basically, what I am trying to say is there is no such thing as a PERSONAL belief per say, as our belief is seen in our actions, and in decisions we make daily.

Kobojunkie:

that was a typo, i meant won't directly affect his leadership.

Oh please!!! lol

Bawo, I pray for your next president to be an Ifa worshipper. If Obama can do it, Ifa worshippers can do it. And let us watch and see what will happen. Hurricanes will become worse and we'll definitely see worse economies than this. Just wait. What happened when Ahab ruled? What happened? EHN!

Kobojunkie:


Kai!!! Roflmao!!

I can't help it. . . I'm strangely Christian.

That's just it. What [i]I [/i]think.
What does an ifa know about politics? If much, why should I vote for a man who my bible brand as evil.
Eventually, I'd have to trust him to stabilize the economy. That, I cannot do.
Why should we vote for a politician who believes calling on his gods would terminate the problems the country is facing.

Personally, I have nothing against gay politicians. As someone mentioned (unfortunately) they too can be atheist.

Don't mind my implications.

I will vote for a politician, gay, hetero, shango, amadioha, or polygamist based on his level of intelligence and smart policies that can fix the country.

I will vote for anyone that has an impressive track record and has something inside his skull that is not cockroach puke, irrespective of his beliefs, but the problem I have with Nigerian politicians is their lack of respect for the thick  boundary between personal opinion, religion and state.

I am almost sure the Ifa priest will not attempt to railroad us into "Ifaizm" Most (if not all) Adherents of Afro Religion that I know are very tolerant. Can't say the same for the homosexual and the atheist, considering that most atheists I know have zero tolerance for RELIGION and most homosexuals won't get off your tail until you tell them homosexuality=Awesome!

I see I am not alone in my experience with those!!! They label you intolerant when they themselves find it hard to tolerate you not sharing their view!!!! I sometimes wonder if they are  Nigerians in disguise sent to torment me out here in my comfortable world!!! roflmao!~!!

una dey discriminate o. kai.

Wow! What plague will come on Nigerians if an Ifa worshiping man or woman rules? But you'll allow someone worshiping an imported "God" to rule? The many Alien aspect of our system is the reason we are still not getting anywhere. Do you even know one Ifa practitioner? Cause if you do, you'll know it's not a religion, it's a teaching. You can learn it and still be a Christian or Muslim or whatever you like. Many of Barren women go to Osun to beg for babies but after delivering, they scream jesus has done it oo. Jehovah has helped me ooo simply because they are ashamed to openly admit that they went to Osun worshipers for help. People think it's barbaric but we don't find exorcism barbaric, driving nails into kid's head to drive out witches not barbaric, What won't we do for this "god" that never existed? We even use our poetry to praise this unseen, unproven being. It's even in your bible that this "god" is a jealous "god". So clearly he doesn't deserve to be worshiped by any being. If you believe your "god" split the red sea, why can't you believe that Sango breaths out fire? Even your jesus was documented to be dealing with high forms of magic. Turning of water in to wine is what? but if an African man did that, it becomes diabolic even to Africans but if a pastor did that, it's the power of Jesus. We are backwards in many ways!!!

Keep sleeping; I'll wake you when you are dead.

This isn't a matter to be sentimental or biased about. Yes of course I'd vote for him/her, if he/she's someone I believe in. Someone who is good enough to lead the nation. Capabalility in government's got nothing to do with type of faith or sexual preferences. Leadership is much about vision and (being able to carry the world along, with You)!

That would be in another world.
Even though most of this charlatans politicians are more evil in deeds than they appear, i would disown any that openly
exhibit this tendencies as adumbrated.

My choice too.

What a question? Of what benefits are the so-call bible/koran believing politicians who have been looting the country dry? Anybody, I repeat anybody that can govern well is welcome. Let nobody decieve you, many religious politicians, particularly christians and muslims have failed us woefully. At times, I feel like asking whether it is God/Allah that these politicians worship.

Ebony-Silk:

Why won't it?
Is it not what you chose? your decision?

It is my experience that our beliefs turn out not to be as personal as we would like to believe they really are. Sure on the outside a person might claim to believe in A, but majorly, their actions tell a better story of what the individual actually believes and that drives the individuals decision making process as well.
Only a while back, I had a colleague (who happened to be an atheist) who claimed to respect my right to believe in God. Initially, the relationship was purely professional but as soon as this colleague learnt that I was a Christian, respect went out the window. He poked fun at my belief every second he could; questioned my intelligence and ability to do my job since I, according to him, believed in a made-up puppet in the sky. This put a serious strain on our work relationship; I finally had to request I be moved to another team as a result. This was not my first encounter with this sort of people, but in majority of the cases, people’s beliefs affect their decision making and actions to a higher extent than many are willing to accept. I remember one particular dude I had to completely ignore after he turned to attacking me for what the bible says about homosexuality, and another just had a hard time accepting that I did not share his opinion of how to approach solving a problem at work. These are mostly people who deep down believe that the world has to mostly revolve around their chosen ideologies and when that is not the case, they switch to attack mode and will go as far as they have to, to bring the other team aboard.

Yes, if they are not corrupt and really want to serve the people unlike the the corrupt bunch that we have now. The pretend to be born again christians and steal and give 10% of the money stolen as tithe which is eventually used to buy private jets and leave the people poor and miserable and the list goes on and on ------------------------------------
