Please, read this with an open mind. I sincerely do not aim at poisoning your hearts against certain religions/regions. We're diversified in Nigeria, and which can be a very good thing.

Well,

If you know anything about our history, you'll recall that the white men came into west Africa and started doing trades along side other foreigners along the coasts of West Africa. Lagos particularly started entering trade treaties with the whites (as well as Old Calabar, New Calabar, etc)

Now, the Lagosians started being influenced by white culture (Christianity, etc) by the whites, same way Jihadist Muslims were coming in from the North, influencing most northerners as well.

For this reason, one can say it's more natural for a Yoruba man (perhaps, anyone from the South?) to be a Christian. In other words, it's more natural for Tinubu to be a Christian. The core northerners understand this, that's why they would NEVER consider you (or Tinubu) down south as a "Real" Muslim. No. They don't even hide this sentiment. You've been conquered.

For this reason, Tinubu has to either go against Religion, or Region. He must defy one in a bid to enter aso rock.

That's why there's a touch of wrong if Tinubu picks a Muslim, and a touch of wrong if he pics a Christian as well. He too is aware of the fact that he would never be considered a "real" Muslim, and that's why he might pick a "real" Muslim instead of a northern Christian.

If he ends up picking a northern Muslim, then once again, he has solidified the fact that Southern Muslims are not Muslims in Nigeria.

Why then do people down south/north keep deceiving themselves identifying as certain religions?

My f*#g opinion tho.

Christians in the North are not segregated or termed lesser christians.... Or pagans or unbelievers....


Only Muslims will know who is real and fake... Infact, a core northerner and a born Muslim can be ascribed as a pagan if he for one minute doubts or say anything against his religion...


Tinubu isn't smart... And all the southern Muslims should learn from this...

He should do the right thing and have the people support him for doing just the right thing...

As it's stands now, he's being controlled by Elrufai and Ganduje... His decisions are already against him... The cabals have shown themselves. We will make a second mistake having Tinubu as a president.

Buhari came in as a Muslim for 8yrs and Tinubu is coming in as a Muslim and after 8years, the North will come out to foster another Muslim for another 8yrs... Making it 24yrs of Muslim rule in Nigeria...

Is Tinubu thinking about this at all?

We will be under Islamic rule for 24yrs?

Only if you will not give minors voter's card to increase your voting strength... And completely close the border to prevent Chadians and Nigeriens from coming in to vote.

You people claim to be saints, you're all in the government top position stealing yet sees other religion as pagans...

Because we will always do the right thing.... We believe that God only approved of our actions if we do what is just and right....


The way you people struggle for power by proxy, you keep pushing christians to the world... You people will have to stand the heat when christians decides to fight back....

Either you like it or not everyone knows his /her candidate come 2023 . Shun politics of hatred, envy, jealous and bitterness am talking to all internet bandits and terrorist who want to kill their selves because they don’t want to see opposition, what then is the beauty of democracy? . Better face your life and engage in meaningful and fruitful things , if you have a preferred candidate campaign and canvass vote for your candidate
