Please let's support his excellency Mr Peter obi for the president of federal Republic of Nigeria, we are tired of those thief's now,

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian know it's only someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from total collapsing, but seriously some ethnic bigot people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian's current problems, #ObiDatti2023 is certain
Obi is the bigger thief... #pandoragate #ikoyigate

Poop comment!
Bar1941:


The attack is totally condemned but we need to know that in as much the book he published 34years ago is still in existence, it effects will surely still be in existence. BTW why should someone write a book just to disrespect or cause unnecessary unrest in other people's faith? Their are a lot of things we can write or talk about and lately we know how intolerant some people could get over religious matter, why can't we just abide by the simple principle of 'respect other people's religion and beliefs'.

I love the above quote of his. Religion most times gag people freedom of thought and tend to dubiously polarize people to conform to certain set of norms without asking "why".

Good that the guy was arrested, he should be made to face the full wrath of the law. You cannot fight for God, he is the supreme being and if need be, he just say kun fa-yakūn (Be, and it is).

Just on another note, some people with chronic religious bigotry who have been barking about a supposedly muslim-muslim ticket in Nigeria and their fake pastor counterpart will start showing their hypocrisy on this thread.

I can bet my left balls that part of your heart is glad that the devilish act happened to Salman Rushdie. So much for religion of pieces oh peace

Satanic Verses and Midnight Children are beautiful reads!

They are part of my all time collection of books that make sense!

The religion of piss at work, Islam is a terrorist religion but not all Muslims are terrorists, they are very peaceful but they are always ready to kill you if you provoke them, so how are they peaceful undecided?

I thought they only kill when you say something bad about there prophet, but did Mr Rushdie say anything bad against there prophet?

This people who attack and maim in the name of religion should be thought a thorough and proper lesson so others like them will learn.

Even till now we haven't heard anything about those who killed Deborah Samuel. This shouldn't be and the case shouldn't be hushed.

And why should you provoke Dem in d first place? I don't see Muslims going around to insult Jesus, Budah, Ogun or Ifa.. because they don't believe in them.. they respect your religion give Dem the same respect too..

Hypocrisy!!!

Qur'an was written to disrespect Christianity. Jesus is God. But Qur'an came after Christianity to say Jesus was just a prophet.


If criticism makes you to murder people, then that belief of yours is demonic.

U read wetin u post so?
U don't even have any evidence to back up your claims.
1. Qur'an was written to disrespect Christianity!
Oga how?
2. Jesus is God... He(Jesus) never called him self a God u guys did... Which verse in d Bible did he call himself a God?
3. Qur'an came after Christianity!
You're right. Bcuz Islam came b4 all religion.
And the prophets that came b4 Jesus have their own scriptures too.

forget that muslim Muslim part. The Easterners have been denied access to power for long and when they complain, hypocrites like you would scream, “ but we are one Nigeria , it doesn’t matter “ . Hypocrisy will kill you definitely

Funny thing about all this is the fact that the person who committed this crime wasn't even born when the novel was published!!!?
Quest7777:
...

Someone published a book 34 years ago. You say the book insulted your god & you passed a death sentence on him. Your god could not avenge the insult for all these 34years & you still carry the 34years old bitterness reach 2022 to the extent of committing murder. SMH.
