Nigeria Can’t Be Islamised – Osinbajo by irepnaija4eva(m): 11:07pm On Jan 05, 2017
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday enjoined faith-based organisations in the country to shun rumours that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was moving to Islamise Nigeria.

He told religious leaders after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Student Christian Movement of Nigeria (SCM) in his office, that they should dwell on facts.

Recall that before the election in 2015, Prof. Osinbajo spoke out that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was not secretly plotting to Islamise Nigeria if it won the election.

He again reaffirmed that stand stressing that the rumour making the rounds about plans to make Islam the official religion of Nigeria were unfounded as the country “can’s be Islamised”.

Osinbajo emphasised that it was impossible to Islamise the country given the 1999 Constitution that forbids state religion.

He urged religious bodies to channel their energies towards proffering solutions to the numerous challenges facing the country.

The vice president also challenged Nigerian youths to wake up from slumber and take advantage of abundant opportunities in ICT, agriculture and other sectors.

While noting that the opportunities were far much more now than they were in the past, Osinbajo harped on the need for young people to take responsibility for their future and be creative.

He also emphasised the importance of using the internet to acquire knowledge as well as learning a second language to boost their global competitiveness.

Expressing appreciation to SCM for the honour, the vice president solicited the organisation’s assistance in disseminating factual information about the Federal Government’s policies and programmes.

Earlier, the National President of SCM, Rev, Eric Ighalo, commended the government for its social interventions such as the N-Power initiative and the conditional transfer scheme.

Ighalo expressed the willingness of the body to partner with government in several areas including serving as government ambassadors in their constituencies.

The SCM national president said that the award was conferred on the vice president in recognition of his integrity and outstanding leadership he had demonstrated over the years.

The award presentation, according to him, culminated the 75th anniversary of the organisation.

Only dead and non functional brains believe the lies promoted by the Likes of Fayose and FFK who are only looking for a way to evade justice.

Those ones are just looking for a way to turn the people against the Govt. So when they are picked up, the sympathy would be there and it will sound as if a Christian is facing persecution.

When Jonathan gave approval to Dansuki to send Musiliu to give Peter 1.5 Billion meant to prevent Islamic Terrorists from killing Christians and Muslims, there was no religious division.

Can anybody stop RCCG, WINNERS, DEEPER LIFE and MFM alone from Worshipping for just 1 Sunday ?


Please push sentiment aside, step forward and explain in practical terms how Nigeria is being Islamatize and people around you will tell you how stupid you sound.

Who takes the words of that nonentity dwarf (osibanjo) serious?. The foolish lying idiotic pastor who his afonja sister was decapitated by muslim mob in abuja, and no word of condemnation from him, nor has any person been arrested for such destardly act.

Anyways, for afonjas, even if nigeria is to be islamised, they wount care after all 70% of them are already muslim. While the few professing Christianity are nothing but a CLOSETH MUSLIM. Eg Adeboye, Oyedepo,TB Jushua, Ashimolowo etc.

you are a poor student of history. Ask Google the religion predominant in Turkey in earlier centuries.

You think that the only way to islamise Nigeria is changing the Constitution. You need to open your eyes and see how people don't go to church in the north for fear of being attacked by Muslims

You are dumb bro so stop forming techy.


Ask your google the Christian population of Turkey before, and concerning the population of Christians in Nigeria, I think your president's misguided brothers aka herdsmen are reducing it already.

Mischievous reference just to drive home a brainless point.

Musical instrument used in the church or used at a Muslim wedding.

Isn't the killings made by fulani herdsmen in Benue, Enugu and southern Kaduna a means to reduce the christian population ?

They come to your lands and build mosques but you can't find a single church in many LGA's where sharia law covers in the north.

Nigeria can't be Islamised ,never .Even when both the head d state and his vice were both Muslim it never happened it can't be now . Nigeria can't go the way of Turkey, remember both the South East and South South have almost 95% Christian, south west like 50 %.For your information even in the North almost 30% are Christian check Taraba,Benue,Jos,Adamawa,Nasarawa, part of Borno , Kwara, Niger ,Kaduna. Political check in the history of Nigeria no President have emerged due to pure Muslim support,let all these Muslim states vote for a candidate and others for another the one the Muslim voted for may not win . Check 2011 PMB vs GEJ . That's one of the reasons they dropped Bola to pick Osibanjo. I can tell you if all the Christian in North and South West voted for GEJ PMB will never be President. The Church of God in Nigeria is very active .

So useless Fulani were employed to kill all Christians in Nigeria and Islamatize Nigeria.

Yes, it possible and they have been successful so far..

So far so good -- Obasonjo

The progress maybe slow but sure it has been excellence...

SouthernKaduna is ur best example... As at today, the Fulani monsters has taken over the community with their herds..

The Christians has just been ranting just like the mere commissioner..
