After Nigeria gained independence from the United Kingdom on October 1, 1960, it took Nigeria 3 years to became a republic in 1963. After that, now pay attention.
The country was split into three geopolitical regions—Western Region, Eastern Region and Northern Region—and its political parties took on the identities and ideologies of each region. The Nigerian People's Congress (NPC) represented the interests of the predominantly Hausa/Fulani Northern Region, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC)] (later renamed to "National Council of Nigerian Citizens") represented the predominantly Igbo Eastern Region, and the Action Group (AG) dominated the Yoruba Western Region. The NPC took control of the federal parliament, and formed a coalition government with the NCNC. The National Independence Party (NIP) formed by Professor Eyo Ita became the second political party in the old Eastern Region. Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, leader of the NPC, was poised to become the Prime Minister, but instead he chose to become the Premier of the Northern Region, and supported his deputy Tafawa Balewa's candidacy for Prime Minister. This raised suspicions amongst the southern politicians, who resented the idea of a federal government controlled by a regional leader through his designated proxy. In the end, Tafawa Balewa of NPC was named Prime Minister and Head of Government, and Nnamdi Azikiwe of NCNC was named President.

At Nigeria's independence, the Northern Region gained more seats in parliament than both Eastern and Western regions combined—this would cement Northern dominance in Nigerian politics for years to come. Resentment amongst southern politicians precipitated into political chaos in the country. Obafemi Awolowo, Premier of Western Region, was accused of attempting to overthrow the government. This followed a period of conflict between the AG regional government and the central government. In spite of the flimsiness of the evidence presented by the government's prosecutors, he was convicted. With incarceration of Awolowo, Samuel Akintola took over as the Premier of Western Region. Because Akintola was an ally of Ahmadu Bello, the undisputed strong man of Nigeria, Akintola was criticized as being a tool of the North. As premier of the West, Akintola presided over the most chaotic era in Western Region—one which earned it the nickname "the Wild-Wild West". However, as late as Thursday, January 13, 1966, Balewa had announced that the federal government was not going to intervene in the West. However, the very next day, Akintola, premier of the West met with his ally Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, premier of the North and party boss of NPC party to which Balewa belonged. At the same time a top-level security conference in Lagos was taking place which was attended by most of the country's senior army officiers. All of this activity created rumors that the Balewa government would be forced to crack down on lawlessness in the West using military might... The issue of tribalitic sentiments and regional segregation is not a thing of today... And it has been a Mar on the progress and unity of our beloved nation. But unless we abolish this regional and religious mindset of admonishing one another politically, there may not be an end to this tunnel... Time is really running out on Nigeria.

Religion and Tribal sentiments is the bane of Nigeria.
Religion and Western education are the major root causes of the sorry state of this country.

Religion is the number one cause of hate, violence and division among people both locally and globally.

Deep issues bedevilling this country like tribalism, underdevelopment, corruption, nepotism, etc. are signs and symptoms of Nigeria's failed (Western) education system and religions.

Most religionists in Nigeria (Christians, Muslims, etc.) don't know that by worshipping imported gods such as Allah and Jehovah, they (Nigerians) are using their own hands to kill our cultures and traditions.

If things go on like this, Nigerians shouldn't be surprised if our indigenous languages die a natural death in the next 30-50 years, and get replaced with English and Arabic.

Some Nigerians even see nothing wrong if they become English people or Arabs right here in Nigeria, since they are so ignorant of their history and that of the foreign gods they worship and how Great Britain colonized our forefathers using religion and Western education (scam) as tools.

People that detest their culture and language (as most Nigerians do) are a dead people — their cultural values and language will get lost in history with time.

And the world will forget them as time goes on.

Religions are a political tool for mental enslavement (mind control).

If one is searching for God, the Creator of the universes and all living things including the gods of religion, it's wiser to look beyond religions.

The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, on Wednesday called on the Ekiti State Governor-elect, Kayode Fayemi to give “Muslims in the state proportionate representation in government appointments.”

MURIC anchored its call on the fact that Muslims in the state cast “massive protest votes against Fayose on Saturday because the latter was a Muslim hater and a con artist whose major preoccupation was the marginalization of Muslims in government appointments, the demolition of mosques, making mockery of Muslims and harassing Islamic scholars.”

In a congratulatory message signed by its Director, Ishaq Akintola and sent to DAILY POST, the organization also advised the governor-elect to remain level-headed and sympathetic to the poor and elderly citizens of the state.

MURIC also warned that Fayose’s “downward slide has just begun.”

The message reads, “We complained in vain early in 2014 when Fayose formed an all-Christian cabinet. All 14 commissioners, as well as all permanent secretaries, were Christians. The secretary to the state government was a Christian. All board chairmen were also Christians except the Muslim Pilgrims Board where the maximum ruler had no choice. Muslims in the South West had never experienced such totalitarianism. Fayose’s defeat is good riddance to bad rubbish as far as Ekiti Muslims are concerned.

“We warned Fayose when he embarked on his orgy of mosque demolition but he did not listen. Can you imagine a state governor issuing an order to shut down Arabic evening classes in the state capital in this 21st century Nigeria? Fayose’s downward slide has just begun. His cup of anti-Muslim and Islamophobic acts reached its brim and even spilled over the day he publicly insulted and harassed Shaykh Muhyideen, the popular Ansar-Ud-Deen preacher.

“We know that you are a Christian. But we have seen that you are very liberal. You hate nobody. You have charity for all. We trust you because you have been tested before and you performed creditably well. You really impressed us during your first term before Ekiti citizens entered ‘one chance’. You gave Muslims cabinet slots. You issued a circular permitting female Muslim children to use hijab in public schools even without Muslims making much fuss”.

Noting that it was not partisan, MURIC maintained that the religion or political party of a President or Governor does not matter so long as he or she was transparent, credible and fair to all.

Akintola added, “We are not supporting any political party. Neither are we supporting Muslims in public offices. All we are interested in is good governance. MURIC is particularly interested in politicians who are fair to Muslims in this country.

“We will support a president or governor who gives Muslims their dues, fights corruption and observes democratic tenets no matter what religion, tribe or political party he belongs. Yet we do not encourage any Muslim president or governor to maltreat Christians and traditionalists. Those who come to equity must come with clean hands. We are for fairness to all.

“But we will not allow Muslim haters to rest whether at federal, state or local government level. We will use every constitutional means at our disposal to give extremist crusaders a run for their money because this country belongs to all of us. Muslims will no longer remain underdogs in this country: oppressed, repressed and downpressed.

“We are watching governors in the South East who are in the habit of depriving the minority Muslims of their Allah-given fundamental human rights. They refuse to give Certificates of Occupancy (C of Os) for mosques. They demolish mosques at will while heads of tertiary institutions disallow Muslim students from worshipping and building mosques inside campuses. They also demolish existing make-shift mosques on campuses using flimsy excuses.

“In conclusion, we appeal to Governor-Elect Fayemi to make his in-coming government inclusive and to redress the wrongs done to Ekiti Muslims by his irritant predecessor by giving them befitting government posts and returning to them all their civil rights. Apart from a proportionate number of commissioners, permanent secretaries and board chairmen, we particularly demand that the post of secretary to the state government should go to a Muslim since both Fayemi and his deputy are Christians. In return, we urge Muslims in Ekiti to give the in-coming Fayemi regime all necessary support”.
