Goddey18: The support would have been massive. Some of us wouldn't have been Obidient.
Lies Before APC primary, Igbo called Osinbajo fake pastor and they said Igbo man or north should continue. Funny enough Igbo want to play religion card by appealing to YC vote. Yoruba are not stupid
Honjoshy4u: Wise by a quarter.... It is population that determine the equation. A state with 50:50, 40:60, 45:55 will likely do christian-muslim or muslim-christian. In the Nigeria space of today, muslim-christian population is a very close call. So, muslim-muslim , christian-christian is a NO NO.
Sane Nigerians have already rejected the wicked old greedy man's idea.
Forget that it all boils down to intolerance. Osun has more Muslims than Christians. Yet voted Christian/Christian ticket
Ttalk: Since Shettima, the immediate past Governor of Borno state was confirmed as running mate to Bola Ahmed Tinubu, there has been outcry from some quarters who claim to be speaking for Christians in Nigeria.
There argument bothers on the plurality of Nigeria where North has majority Muslims with Christianity is majorly practised in the South.
There selfish proposition is North should always produce either the Muslim President or the Vice while South must produce the Christian President or the Vice.
Their proposition is selfish and and very disturbing when principle of equity, fairness and inclusiveness is considered.
What is the chance of a minority Christian from the north or a minority Muslim from the South becoming President and Vice in such arrangement that exculiveky rule out minority in multi ethnicity and multi religion Nigeria. The Christians from Middle belt up to core north deserves the top job just like the minority Muslim in SW and SS deserve to be president and vice.
The position of Tinubu in chosing a Muslim from the north has broken the notion of minority Muslim from the South becoming the president. This gesture will equally be replicated in the future after all General Gowon was made Head of State by the same Military north in the 60s.
Let's churn politics selfishness, we are human first before any religion. The hope of a minority Christians from the north in becoming President is now brighter just the way the bold gesture of Tinubu has given minority Muslims from the south chance of getting the first and second slot at leadership position in Nigeria
We should understand that his choice of Shettima as running mate is politics not religions. Tinubu is banking on northern votes so he has to do what he has to do.
popez: Calm down bro. No be fight. There are about 3 Muslims contesting, and just 1 christian contesting in the main political parties. How does the calculation favour the Muslims?
Like I said earlier, political parties ought to respect certain sensitivities before choosing their candidates.
Stop asking me to calm down like you're some kind of civilized person. Not long ago you shaded Yoruba as Agbo sellers. The ultimate aim of political parties is to win election not to cater for whims of the butt hurt. That's the reply to your question
They've been demonizing same Yoruba Christian to the extent of Calling their people not to attend their churches.
They labelled Oshinbajo fake Pastor
Yes i remembered how they forced the revered Kumuyi to cancel his crusade in SE. Will any Yoruba do that to him? They would have voted for Atiku even if Osinbajo clinched the ticket. Remember their East or the north should continue charade? The list is endless bro
wickedJezibel: it takes only a determined mind to drag a case till Supreme Court and to think such determination is coming from people that have been deceiving Yoruba Christians that religion doesn't matter in South West just to keep them subdued and naive. I thank God many Yoruba Christians are no longer falling for that crap and have been seeing them and their tricks. they made sure that Osinbajo's ambition was dead and maligned him in the most wicked manner ever calling him unprintable names just because he's a Yoruba Christians even when he's over qualified than their preferred choice Tinubu. they said Muric is on his own yet Tinubu urchins who are mostly Yoruba Muslims are already here on nairaland pre-primaries telling you that it's Tinubu or nothing, meaning they don't rate Osinbajo and will never support him should he emerged. Same people are pushing for Muslim-Muslim ticket telling people that yoruba Christians will fall in line because they knew they'll deceive them with their usual lines that "religion doesn't matter"
The same Yoruba Muslims that said religion doesn't matter are gradually pushing for Sharia laws in Yoruba land and before you know it boom it's already in supreme Court and it'll be ruled in their favour.
Dear Yoruba Christians, it's time to wake up and stop living in lies and deceit these guys don't rate you and will never do. the facts are there. it's their religion first and nothing else.
Yoruba Christians/traditionalists ronu God bless real Omoluabis and Yoruba land.
Shut up your ipobic mouth. There are 5 Christian governors in SW only Oyetola is a Muslim. There are also 3 governor is SW that run on Christian/Christian ticket Oyinlola and Erelu both governed a Muslim dominated Osun. Yoruba separate religion from politics
mycar: Obi simply said that Ipob agitation and others are as a result bad leadership, besides, there were never violence until recently and some atrocities ascribed to them are really not by them as there has always been criminals amongst us and when they strike, they will attribute it to IPOB
They were never violence or the atrocities ascribed to them are not committed by them. Stick to one please
In an interview with Channel tv The presidential candidate of labour party Peter Obi has disagreed with the government proscription of IPOB as terrorist. The IPOB through his military wing ESN have targeted non-igbos, police stations, markets, and other public properties, including Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices and custodial centres. Mr Peter Obi said he lives in Onitsha and he's pleased with IPOBS and never felt threatened by their action. The sad interview below.
I strongly condemned homosexuality in strong terms but should we support killing and jungle Justice of fellow human over sex and relationships then that's evil
You want to kill other people's children like Idris Bobrisky and James for having mental issues or different sexual orientation, we won't tolerate that
Well we are not voting extremist Loser Party LP with IPOB terrorist Peter as President and a Fulani jihadist as Vice President
Spirit04: the funny thing is that the main reason I support Tinubu is the attacks online people are unleashing on him. I've never really liked nor rated, I started liking him because most people just want to attack him for no reason.
