Bros no pastor will preach against a Yoruba man in a Yoruba church. Even Bishop Oyedepo will not do it.

So using one person's post on Twitter is enough to prove a point but using a poll of over 70 thousand participants where one candidate won over 80 perfect is not an accurate tell of the trend abi?

Sir Mo Farah has revealed in a BBC documentary that he was brought into the UK illegally under the name of another child.

The four-time Olympic champion said “the truth is I’m not who you think I am”, adding he needs to tell his real story “whatever the cost” in the documentary titled The Real Mo Farah.

The father-of-four, 39, said: “Most people know me as Mo Farah, but it’s not my name or it’s not the reality.

“The real story is I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin. Despite what I’ve said in the past, my parents never lived in the UK.

When I was four my dad was killed in the civil war, you know as a family we were torn apart.

“I was separated from my mother, and I was brought into the UK illegally under the name of another child called Mohamed Farah.”

------‐--------------------------------

Had it been that Mo Farah was a minimum wage factory worker and disclosed this, would he have been deported or would he even have the guts to disclose something like this? But now he has built up social capital he is a 4 time Olympian and a British hero. Now he can get away with it

I have made my position know about Muslim-Muslim ticket , I guess for the avoidance of doubt I should restate it.

First and foremost I’m a south westerner from a family whose both parents are of the two religions ( Islam and Christianity ) . I have enough cousins and relatives that are of both faiths. In the south west Christians and Muslims coexist together without issues u see in places like North east ( that has Christian’s in large numbers ) , southern kaduna etc ; …….

However , truth must be told that Nigeria as a country is not ready for a same religion ticket just yet. No we are not .

A link posted up there by Raumdeuter showed the NSA claiming Boko Haram grew simply because of politics of exclusion played by PDP governors in the North east . If we will be truthful with ourselves , it’s that same politics of exclusion that was responsible for groups like IPOB going military and having a military wing ( ESN ) that has now been proscribed as a terror group. Some of their agitations are predicated on the believe that A buhari presidency with a pastor VP is fulanizing/islamizing the country ….. Now imagine what will happen with a Muslim president and a muslim Vice President .

I once interacted with a Christian guy we served together who is from Plateau state . He told me about series of religious/ ethnic clashes they’ve had and he even talked about eating the flesh of their adversaries ( it’s a sign of victory for them ) , I was shocked all that go on Nigeria just because of religious differences and ethnic division .

God knows the ascension of a same faith presidency will do this nation harm than good. I know to politicians and their analysts it’s all about winning elections and then using federal power to bend people to their knees, but the 4 years after election matters too. A president spending his years fighting insurgency is not going to be regarded as the man of the year.

As at last month the US senate was talking about Nigeria being a country with so much religious intolerance with cHristians getting killed cos of their faith and then this week a ruling party is bringing out a Muslim-muslim ticket . Kai ! No be so na

Well said.

I see it as God's way of retiring the party sef.

His loss in the Southern part of Nigeria will shock him

I'll vote for Peter Obi.

But are there people that were actually planning to vote for Tinubu before that will change their minds because he picked a Northern Muslim?

This religion is another major stumbling block in this country. The country's demographics as good as eliminates any Southern Muslim or Northern Christian from running for the presidency, no matter their individual qualities.

Buhari picked a Pastor twice. Some Christians did not vote him.

izzou:


Yeah. Quite true

But it poses lesser issues compared to field both from the same religion or zone

afrodoc2:


Both sides have a point. Personally i don't have a problem with a same religion ticket especially if it is a nominal Muslim like Tinubu, however i see how the optics would give cause for alarm.

1) The North would never accept a Christian-Christian ticket so why should the South accept theirs.

2) A Muslim-Muslim ticket in these perilous times will grant the more obnoxious and extremist factions in Islam the confidence to carry out even more dastardly and audacious acts. They will assume the ticket gives them carte blanche to do what they will with Christians, similar to how the Trump presidency emboldened those who invaded the US Capitol building.

Why didn't he pick a Muslim, since it won't matter?

Lagos PDP just picked Funke Akindele to complete their own Moslem-Moslem ticket

Answer the question first, then we would come back to Jandor

Buhari picked a Pastor the first time and Christians did not vote him, like you said

Why did he pick the pastor the second time?
