While some Nigerians are advocating for a northern Muslim to replace the incumbent northern Muslim, another set of Nigerians are advocating for a Southern Muslim to succeed a northern Muslim even with a Muslim/Muslim ticket.
Even with the fact that Peter Obi of the Labour Part is on the ballot, a person who is generally seen as credible, capable, competent and relatively young, it is so interesting that some 'Christians' are supporting either the northern Muslim or the Southern one with a Muslim/Muslim ticket!
Not that I am in any way against the good Muslim faithfuls we have in Nigeria, but is this polireligious situation equitable, fair and just?
How did we get here, that some socalled Christians are part of the 'structures' that inadvertently want to islamise or give the impression that Nigeria, a country of appropriately equal number of Christians and Muslims is an Islamic country?
Can Nigerian Muslims in all honesty accept a Christian president handing over to another Christian president and even canvass vigorously and passionately for it?
Are we buying this idea that there is no southern Christian competent enough to be Nigeria's president in 2023?
Are Nigerian Christians second class citizens?
If a Muslim to Muslim succession occurs in 2023, how are we sure a Christian can ever become Nigeria's president till Christ comes?

Muslims are terrorists
Not all Muslims sir. There are good Nigerian Muslims who believe in equity, fairness and justice. Aisha Yesufu is one of them.

Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims.

Aisha Yesufu is not considered a good Muslim,
I don't know what your motive is but mine and that of Peter Obi I believe, is certainly not to denigrate all Muslims. Some northern Muslims who equally believe in real equity, fairness and justice see supporting Peter Obi.

And you know the worst part, if Tinubu becomes the president in 2023, by the time he is handing over, a Northerner will take over and he will obviously be a Muslim.

That's 24 years uninterrupted islamic rule in a secular country.
Before Nigeria started practicing democracy, most of the leaders that Nigeria had were also muslims.

But will this be fair? My concern is that some Christians are championing the presidency moving from either the incubent northern Muslim to another northern Muslim or incumbent northern Muslim to a southern Muslim/Muslim ticket even when a credible southern Christian is on the ballot!

Nigeria is perceived as an Islamic Jihadist country the world over, even though Nigerian citizens are always in denial of reality out of ignorance or sheer stupidity.

For one, the leaders of Nigeria are at least 90% radical Muslims.

This is one of the reasons a black American prefers to visit and live in Ghana instead of coming to the so called giant of Africa.

So yes, Nigeria is an Islamic terrorist country, a country run by a terrorist government with an army of "repentant" terrorists.

I'm just telling you the fact about Muslims with prove, I don't care about what you or Peter Obi think
But you should know that this your assertion is offensive especially to the good Muslims out there.
