Yup MURIC might just awaken a Christain identity the way it wants to awaken a Muslim identity and I repeat states like Lagos Ogun Ondo & Ekiti will fall into Christain hands lol

Anyways I trust Muslim elites to ensure this doesn’t happen it will mark the end of yoruba civilization

No! If won’t mark the end of Yoruba civilization, it will just mark the beginning of mass voluntary and willingly conversion of Muslim youths in order to identify with sane minds and leave the midst of backward people like this mumu

That’s the pretext jihadist use
They are being oppressed and thus fighting for right to jihad
They label all western institutions Christain as a gimmick

They only think they are being oppressed because they fail to lift the vail of backwardness off their face and accept civilization. So, when the names of pace setters are listed in all sectors, they are found wanting which makes them feel inferior and start shouting oppression. They have very resourceful youths but they will keep dragging them back because of the religion you were not born with, it’s only someone that brought you up tgat told you the religion to follow. I hope their youths will borrow sense and not be like professor of Islamic eschatology.

The problem remains what it always has been: oppression of Muslims by the Christians, and can only be resolved when the above issues are settled.

But after more than a century of trying to use force to forge a united country, now may be the time to try doing so through our consent. 

Until the government decides whether it agrees with our demands or not, the rows are bound to continue.

Let me ask something please. Since when did Boxing Day and new year day become Christan holidays?

To understand MURIC, see them as Islamic Supremacists in Nigeria (ISIN) with the same agenda as ISIS but in a subtle way.

Good people of Nigeria should stop calling them MURIC rather ISIN (Islamic Supremacists In Nigeria)

I like how my SW Muslims and even Christians aren't giving this madman attention he's desperately looking for.

It show how highly educated yorubas are and can'tbe deceived or divided by religious bullshits.

When the time comes we will put this failed fulani wannabe puppet in a place where he should be.
He better run while there is time.

sad Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think i support MURIC on these precious demands. We Christians have marginalized the Muslims and everything seemed skewed in our favour. It's unfortunate that we are testing the peace of our Muslim brothers because if they decide to retaliate it will be very tough. Why can't the Muslims have sharia courts all over the country like the Christians courts? Why can't we allow them the number of holidays we Christians enjoy? Our hypocrisy stinks to high heavens and its time we apologize to our Muslim brothers sad

This is exactly the meaning of boko haram. Westernization is Abomination. Do you see why being in Nigeria with these type of people is not feasible? Have you ever wondered why Somalia being the only 100% Muslim country is still a failed state? People with such mentality hate peace.

OfficialMURIC:
Sequel to the clamour for restructuring Nigeria, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has reminded the Federal Government and the general public of the six reliefs it enumerated and demanded for Nigerian Muslims since October, 2017.

The six reliefs were revisited in a press statement issued by the Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Tuesday, 5th October, 2020, exactly three years later.

The statement reads:

“We demanded six reliefs on behalf of Nigerian Muslims exactly three years ago. The reliefs were contained in a press release issued by MURIC on 9th October, 2017. We are aware that the present government is not positively disposed to restructuring and it has declared its determination to avoid it. Nonetheless, we have decided to represent demands which are of special interest to Muslims for the records.

“Let us make it abundantly clear ab initio that MURIC has zero tolerance for separatist and secessionist proclivities. We therefore reiterate our rejection of demands for Biafra, Oduduwa Republic and all other parochial, selfish and unpatriotic agitations.

“It is equally important at this juncture to state that this press statement is designed to remind those who are agitating for the balkanization of Nigeria and restructuring that they are not the only ones who have grudges in this union. Just as there is no perfect marriage, there is no nation in the world without its headaches. In the same vein, just as couples manage their imperfections and try to understand their differences in order to avoid broken homes, so do stakeholders in nation-building sink their group interests for national cohesion.

“We reproduce below our press statement dated 9th October, 2017 and captioned ‘Restructuring Nigeria: Muslims seek Six Reliefs’ (https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/245569-restructuring-islamic-group-muric-seeks-six-reliefs-nigerian-muslims.html). It should be noted that none of the six demands has been addressed hitherto:

“The Federal Government appears set for restructuring particularly with the setting up of a committee on this crucial matter by the ruling party, the All Peoples’ Congress (APC). Restructuring became popular after the South East, South South and a section of the South West complained about marginalization. Several politicians from both the opposition and the ruling party have since spoken in support of this clamour.

“However, we of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) dissociate ourselves from all agitations for secession. We condemn all irredentist movements rearing their ugly heads in Southern Nigeria, particularly the agitation for the creation of Oduduwa Republic. We affirm clearly, unambiguously and unequivocally, that Muslim leaders in Yorubaland were not carried along before those demands were tabled. Nonetheless, just as some ethnic groups have complained of disaffections, we contend that Nigerian Muslims also nurse serious grudges bordering on marginalization against the Nigerian state.

“We must start from the lanes of history because today was born from the wombs of yesterday. Islam has been in Nigeria since the 11th century and the British met Islam on ground when they arrived in the 19th century (800 years later). The British did not deem it fit to observe the rules of natural justice when they colonized the country as all Islamic landmarks were eliminated and supplanted with a wholly Christian system.

“This injustice may have been at the root of frequent religious crisis in Nigeria because successive governments after independence refused to listen to the agitations of Muslims for a review of the status quo. The issues being raised by Muslims are listed in the following paragraphs so that the authorities may address them when restructuring eventually begins.

One: Nigerians enjoy a total of eight (cool public holidays in a year. These are Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Id al-Kabir, Id al-Fitr and Maulud an-Nabiyy. Five (5) of the eight holidays belong to Christians (Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 1st January, i.e, New Year Day, Good Friday and Easter Monday). Only three (3) holidays belong to Muslims, viz, Id al-Kabir, Id al-Fitr and Maulud an-Nabiyy.

“Restructuring should give Muslims 1st Muharram. This will bring the total number of Muslim holidays to four while Christian holidays remain five.


“Two: Christian marriages contracted inside churches or registries are held sacrosanct everywhere in Nigeria whereas Muslim marriages (nikah) are not recognized for any official purpose. Muslim couples find themselves in a cul de sac each time they presented their Islamic marriage certificates for official purposes. It is paradoxical that in a democracy, one marriage conducted by a religious group is acceptable while the other is not. What kind of constitution is Nigeria using?

“Islamic marriages should be recognized in all official circles where Christian marriages are recognized. The Nigerian Marriage Act (1990) should therefore be revisited.

“Three: Nigeria has a two-day weekend, viz, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was a half day during the colonial era and Sunday was the only full day at the weekend. However, Saturday was made a full day to favour the Seventh Day Adventists, a Christian denomination during the regime of General Yakubu Gowon, a Christian military ruler. It is very clear, therefore, that the two weekend days recognized in Nigeria belong to Christians while Muslims have none since Friday, the Muslim day of worship, remains a working day.

“It is pertinent to note that Friday was a work-free day until the British brought Christianity and stopped Muslims from enjoying their Allah-given fundamental human right. The relief we are seeking through restructuring is that Friday should be declared free to assume parity with the Christians’ Sunday. While we are not seeking anarchy, we are confident that the Federal Government (FG) has all the paraphernalia of administration to work out the modalities.

Four: Immigration officials engage in regular stereotyping of Muslims who apply for international passports. They intimidate Muslims particularly at the point of taking pictures. Muslim males are ordered to remove their caps; Imams are coerced into removing their turbans; bearded Muslims are compelled to shave or trim their beards; hijab-wearing Muslim women are made to remove their hijabs or ordered to draw their hijab backwards to reveal their ears. The same scenario plays itself out in driving licence, national identity card offices and during registration for elections.

“In the process, thousands of Muslims have been denied international passports, driving licences and national identity cards while millions have been disenfranchised during elections. The authorities must find a way of stopping the persecution and profiling of Muslims.

“Five: Uniformed groups in Nigeria, including the army, police, uniformed voluntary groups, nurses, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), students of primary and secondary schools, etc, use uniforms designed by the Christian colonialists. These uniforms should have been reviewed after independence because they only suit the Christians. Some of them constitute breaches to Islamic dress code and offend the sensibility of Muslims who are compelled to wear the uniforms regardless of their inner feeling of resentment.

“In view of the fact that Western countries like Britain, Canada and the United States have designed uniforms with hijab for their female Muslim police, soldiers, students, etc, Nigeria’s restructuring authorities should borrow a leaf from those countries.

“Six: There is no single Shari’ah court in South Western Nigeria where Muslims constitute the majority. This is contrary to what obtained in Yorubaland before the advent of the British. There were Shariah courts in Ede, Iwo, Ikirun, Ibadan, etc. Yoruba Muslims are now compelled to take their civil matters like inheritance, marriage, etc to Christo-Western courts. This is preposterous and unacceptable

“We demand the establishment of Shariah courts in all South Western states including Edo State where there is a significant percentage of Muslims.

“We call the attention of FG and the restructuring committee of the APC to the above six reliefs. Muslims are in bondage in this country and we believe that restructuring should emancipate people in captivity. APC promised change. This change can only be meaningful to us if it breaks the shackles around our necks. We have begged enough for the restoration of our Allah-given and fundamental human rights. We are tired of begging. Restructuring is about reapportioning the dividends of democracy such that it goes round and it is not restricted to one section.

Colonial administration was grossly unfair to Muslims. Nigeria was Christianised by Britain and Muslims bore the brunt. We suffered forceful conversion, denial of rightful employment and even worse forms of persecution. But what is most disappointing is the policy of exclusion adopted by post-independence governments.

“On a final note, we demand full integration and full recognition as bona fide citizens of Nigeria, not second or third class citizens. We are the aggrieved party. The British most brutally and most unjustly took all we had from us, giving us nothing in return and offering no relief. It has continued to give us a feeling of rejection, marginalization, denial of the dividends of democracy and lack of a sense of belonging. The time for redress is now and our six-point relief is here for all to digest.

Does this freak understand that he wrote this complaint in a language planted by Christo-linguists? He should have written this in Arabic.
