Is Nigeria Heading Towards Becoming An Islamic Country? by rectitude(m): 9:10pm On Mar 23, 2016
Coming in now on www.fixmeblog.com

It is no longer news that our beloved country is now a member of the coalition of Muslim countries against terrorism (ISMAT) this has caused offset to some Nigerians especially Christians. Also, to other Nigerians the truthfulness of the words of our leaders (Mr. president ) is now in question.

Why this fuss? Is it not a good thing for Nigeria since BH boys (boko haram) have pledged allegiance to ISIS which we all know is causing chaos and anarchy in the world today?

The scourge of terrorism sweeping the world has caused tension across the world but in Nigeria, the new alliance to ISMAT has raised concern.

The statement by president Muhammadu Buhari when he expressed the willingness of Nigeria to join ISMAT is viewed by many Nigerians to be suspicious this is because an earlier statement was issued by the president at another forum that Nigeria would not join the coalition

In 2015, the Christian Association of Nigeria warned the nation against joining the coalition but according to the president, ” we are part of it because we have got terrorists in Nigeria that everybody knows who claim that they are Islamic…… I have told you it is boko haram itself that declared loyalty to ISIS. Now ISIS is based in Islamic countries. If there is a coalition to fight terrorism why can’t Nigeria be a part?”

The statement by the president betrays what he earlier said as regards the coalition says one Nigerian.

Also does this mean the president can change his words and decisions without bringing it to the national assembly? Are we still in the military regime? Asks a concerned Nigerian

The bill in the senate house in Kaduna state aiming at preventing public preaching of any kind is seen by many as being directed to frustrate and silence Christianity. Of recent, two Christian clerics were abducted in Kaduna state. Report says these men were in opposition of the bill in the Kaduna senate house also two others have been killed.
