Igbo Muslims, take note. Your existence is at risk by our fellow Igbo Catholic Mary-statue bowing idol worshippers.
you must be a paid agent, if not tell me why this hates? Babachair lawal is he an igbo man? Or other people condemning APC choice are igbo man? As any christian rule in kastina , sokoto, Kano, kebbi, zamfara before? Stop the hate because good or bad you and I will not escape it. Preach love and togetherness instead, that is what we all need to grow.

We are looking for a president, a political leader not religious leaders. Whether one is Muslim or Christian to me is irrelevant. Can you lead and perform according to your oath of office and your manifesto, if the answer is yes then everything other thing irrelevant.
you are right but on a second thought, do you think same religion ticket is good for us at this time in our nation?

How many Christians in the North as compared with Muslims. Yet in the north you have some Christians holding elective offices.
There are no Muslim office holders in the south-east! Such hypocrisy.

In some northern states, Christians are the clear majority. Infact, there are orders of magnitude, more Christians in the north than muslims in the south.
In Anambra state, I am pretty sure there will only be just tens of muslims who are indigenous to the state. The other muslims in the state will be foreigners. So you cannot expect Anambra to have a muslim deputy governor.

How many christian deputy governors have Kano ever produced since 1999.
How many Christian deputy governors have Katsina ever produced in spite of the fact that indigenous Christians make up more than 10% of the state?

It has no bearing on good leadership. Go online and read about Maitatsine, Shagari was the president then, he did not hesitate to crush them. That is what leaders do, not cuddle criminals.

Petty question.....
Don't deviate,stay on the line.

For long the patience and enduance has elapsed,we can neither be coarsed nor cajoled,we have learnt our lesson.
Religious politics started from the North, Buhari to be precise..
During the 2011 elections,I was in the NE and what they where told and believed is something you would close your ears if I say.
You won't want me going there.
For peace to reign,soonest Christians and Muslims would have to go separate ways..
I think more from Jonathan than Buhari. Jonathan. It was who was pronouncing state policies from the churches he attends on Sundays. Pastor Oritsejafor, CAN president at the time was acting more like a government employee, culminating in his plane being caught with millions of dollars in South Africa trying to buy arms.

And if you're from the North at all, be reminded that you'll be treated the same way a Hausa man would when the time for the separation you're clamouring comes.

Don't mind the hypocrites and liars. They think Muslims are fools and call them headslammers. Christians are minority in the North but occupy some of the highest positions within State government even up to Governor, as in the case of Patrick Yakowa, former Governor Kaduna who was a Christian.

But no igbo Muslim has ever held any such positions in the Southeast, not even local government chairman. Nigeria Muslims better wake up and defend their religion. Vote for Tinubu/ Shettima 2023. Being a Muslim is not a crime.

This Igbo Christian is voting for Tinubu.
aside kaduna please give us another name of a state in the north west, kaduna have much population of christian there. Shame on you all agent of destroyers

Are you talking about the Buhari who told a crowd of supporters in 2002 at Kaduna that "a true Muslim will vote for a Muslim".
Or,the baboon and the dog will soak in blood" statement,or "we will make the government ungovernable" or an attack on B/H is an attack on the North".
Or the one that has an Extremist Sheik who supports a world known terrorist organization as a Minister in the cabinet?

I am a Christian and you call yourself a Christian what has your faith in christ have to do with mine? Will your faith get me to heaven when we know your own faith will not get your own family to heaven but only you.
What I know for sure is that Christian fanatics are just like Muslim fanatics, different religions but the same ideology of hate and intolerance.

The tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.

Dear Nigerian Muslims can you see the kind of hatred Peter Obi and his supporters like this have for you? This is how Peter Obituary will run Nigeria with immeasurably hatred for all Muslims.

You can see for yourself how Igbo Catholics promoters of the pandora thief IPOB candidate Peter Obi are exposing themselves. That's why you should vote for Tinubu/ Shettima 2023

This is exactly what Peter Obituary thinks against Muslims. Their supporters are getting tired of pretending and gradually exposing themselves. Good news is Northern Muslims are taking note of it and Peter Obituary will be disgraced during elections with a terrible loss. He won't get up to 1000 votes in the North grin

FreedomfromtheT:
I don't hate Muslims and I know many Christians don't. I have a lot of them as friends. But we hate the ideas of Muslim/Muslim ticket in a heterogeneous nation as Nigeria where Christians form about half of the population. To add salt to injury, we are told that out of the millions of Christians in Nigeria and the North in particular, none is competent enough to become a vice president in the ruling APC! Talking about Muslims from the Southeast, I am almost 50 years and I have NEVER seen any indigenous Muslim in the Southeast. If there are, they can't be up to 1000 out of the about 40 million (whether homebased or in the diasapora). That should be less than 0.001% of the population. That is not the same as Kaduna, Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba, Nasarawa, Niger, Kwara or even Borno States where there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of indigenes. And by the way, it is the Nigerian Christian community that was insulted as not being competent enough to produce president or vice under the ruling APC. So it is not about the Southeast. The general expectations was that the ruling party would choose a Christian running mate from the North not someone from the Southeast since the presidential candidate is already a southerner. Christian politicians from the North, Southeast and Southsouth have so far resigned from the APC due to this insulting decision by senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a Muslim to choose a fellow Muslim running mate for the 2023 presidential election. Even the Yoruba Christians are not happy about it. So I don't understand this mischievous attempt at making it look like a Nigerian Muslims versus Southeast matter. This dangerous propaganda of pitching the Southeast against others is dead on arrival. The Muslims know who their real enemies are. The politicians and their lackeys who want to make nice and accommodating Muslims look like greedy, insensitive people without conscience are their real enemies. Thank you.

You lack knowledge a lot more of Igbo Muslims don't normally invest in Igbo land due to marginalization from the Christians, Igbo Muslims are very much, goverment of eastern region wickedly don't want to recognize them in terms of political appointment and rest!

Let me tell you, you have actually met so many of them but due to introduction is the reasons you want know if he/she is a Muslims.. they have been marginalized and that's why a lot of them are taking cover in the north

since 1999 when democracy started till today.

Yet we Igbos are the ones championing all kinds of hate and propaganda against Muslim/Muslim ticket of Tinubu/Shettima but in our own region, we only vote Christian/Christian ticket, even when there are Igbo Muslims among us. We hate hate and ostracize them completely. Then you have the guts to say nobody should vote for Muslim/Muslim ticket?

Even Kaduna that is a core Muslim state has had Christian Governor and Christian deputy governor before since 1999, and Christians holding several major political posts across the North.

Nigerian Muslims wake up now and vote for Tinubu /Shettima for presidency 2023. Don't let Muslim haters blackmail you with lies. Defend your religion. Being a Muslim is not a crime.

Sincerely,
Igbo Christian man from Nnewi, Anambra!
You can't manufacture or forced Igbo Christians to be converted to Islam in other to be given appointment. All this empty noise about Igbo Muslim, I bet we don't have upto 2 thousand Igbo Muslim in Nigeria and in the world beyond. Afikpo in Ebonyi state where you still have the largest of them is not even upto 200 and parts of Nsukka as a result of their relationship with igalas neighbors .

There are actually more Igbo Jews are the third largest and probably growing religion in the east. First, you should talk about Igbo Jews before any Muslim. Most Igbo that are Muslim are illiterate like their Nothern counterpart, and most of their kids are never converted along with them.

Alhaji Onyema who was the most prominent igbo man died but his children are all Christians. Funnily many of them that died are denied Muslim rites burials by their living children.

I challenge you to show me one single ANAMBRA Muslim.

While I cannot speak to the treatment of Igbo muslims in the SE, it's not a fair comparison to compare the North to the SE as the North is not nearly as religiously homogenous as the SE. Muslims make up less than 1% in the SE while both NE and NW have sizable christian population.

Kaduna is a terrible example to make your case as a "core muslim" state, because Kaduna has at least 40% Christian population, so Kaduna having Christian representation is not out of the ordinary and completely in line giving its demographics breakdown. Also, not too long ago the christians of that state were complaining about the muslim/muslim ticket of the governor/deputy governor. There was also concerns about it would be a continuation of the neglectful response to the Southern kaduna herdsmen crisis.

Lastly, I also used to think zoning along regional/ethnic/religious line was not as relevant as long as the person running is qualified and has good ideas. I'm now realizing that this notion is not in line with reality giving the parameters of the Nigerian state. Buhari is a good case study because of his terrible handling of the Fulani headsmen crisis, his indifference to End SARS tragedy, amnesty and sympathy to Boko haram members, and the sidelining of his VP as he surrounds himself with his Northern buddies.

I would like to get to a point where religion and tribe would not matter as much in electing a candidate, but Nigeria is nowhere there yet. In the end there will always be tribalism and biases that would cloud the judgement of elected politicians.
