Lol the person that did this fact-checking don kolomental.

So Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, a Yoruba man is now the candidate of the Northern minorities Christians?

If Tinubu pick a Yoruba Christian from the Northern geopolitical zone, will the other Northern Christian tribes in Jos, Benue, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, and other places accept him as one of their own?

CAN marginalizing middle-belt Christians and those in the core North. CAN should be ashamed of themselves.
as far as that Yoruba man is born and brought up and still residents in the North.
And how do you know that he is a Yoruba man? If it is based on d name then you are dumb. My son is bearing a Yoruba name but he is not a Yoruba man. What do you have to say?

Bros, everything is not supposed to be by quota system now. Besides is Kogi not politically part of the MB again? Do you want CAN to be operating with APC and PDP template of rotation when it's not a political body but a spiritual body? If God has not allowed for a Fulani man to be president of CAN, then go and ask Him and stop making everything North vs South. You people are just too crazy in this country. You have been actively killing off all the Christians in the North and yet you are crying that no Northern clergy has been president of CAN. Is CAN a political entity? Oh, you want some fake pastor herdsman to come and desecrate the Church?

u mean they won't complain of Yoruba-yoruba ticket? grin grin

Is it about tribe or region? It is a case of southern vs Northern region. The other way round. If a Yoruba from Kogi is picked as Atiku or Buhari or Kwankwaso's running mate, would Yorubas in the South see him as representing them?

You still have not told us when a very serious Yoruba Muslim like your humble self will become NSCIA President. Even if it is a Yoruba from Kwara or Kogi we don't mind. Let's start from there

Yes he is yoruba! Even if we are to base our argument on that, you can’t do same ethnic ticket just as it’s wrong to do same religious ticket.

HYPOCRISY ON THE PULPIT

This is such a senseless take. When it comes to politics and governance, you associate any state over the Niger as a northern state. Now it’s time to project your baseless bigoted claim, Kogi suddenly is no longer sufficiently north enough for you and your minions. The press release addresses a specific misinformation of CAN never having a northern leadership before, we did not anticipate the foolishness of whether such person must be Gwari, Kanuri, Fulani, Hausa, Igala, Egbira, Yoruba, Nupe or Idoma.

You people should endeavor to use your God’s given brains much better than this. It’s embarrassing.

Can you see your stinking ignorance?
Sultan is a traditional stool that is appointed by Sokoto state government. However, the supreme council for Islamic affairs (SCIA) is headed by the sultan who is just a ceremonial leader while the secretary general is the administrative head for day-to-day running of the council. The following southerners have been the secretary general for over two decades:
Dr. Lateef Adegbite
Pro. Ishaq Oloyede
An Igbo muslims whose name i can not recall has also held the position
Currently, the Abuja National Mosque is under the administration of an Igbo Muslim.
Southern Christians believe northern Christians are second class citizens and are not Christians enough!


When will you have a southern Muslim as president of NSCIA, that's question before you slaves of allah? Afterall CAN has produced a Northern Christian as President.

Are you southern Muslims not worthy to become the president of NSCIA, must it been your fulani master in Sokoto that will always tell you southern Muslims when to start your Ramadan fasting and when to have your sallah?

If he's not from middle belt, he's not a northern Christian by any standard.

Ask yourself, if a political party pick a Yoruba from Kogi as a Presidential candidate, will that person be accepted as a Northern candidate?


And even if we are to accept him as a Northerner, CAN has had like 17 President since 1976, yet, only one is a Northerner, is that fair?

You do realize that Muslims don't have organize mosques the why you organize churches like businesses. Everyone can open a mosque and all will enter. Here in Minna the mosque I usually go have a Yoruba preacher, and he preach in Yoruba but 90% of people that comes don't speak a word of Yoruba. So were are you getting this lies about Yuruba not leading prayers in north.
