Northern Christians are upto 35%!

OsunOriginal:
Now tell me why the VP slot should be given to a northern Christian given the small population of Christians in the north? Abi, it is about population

Answer the question. It doesn't make sense to let the tail wag the dog

MetaPhysical:
Step aside if you dont know what representation and inclusion means, please...

They're too few wrt the overall population to be given deputy governor

OsunOriginal:
The muslims in Delta are inconsequential?

You're just being docile

Jking20:
That's why I don't have a problem with it, considering the fact I might not even vote tfor them. Simple!

Moral lesson: stop giving yourself unnecessary hypertension where you should not.

It is not. National politics has been running federal character and quota system for balance. In justifying what is against precedence, you brought states into national politics. You guys know what you're doing but when this country finally scatter, it will be on you guys!

helinues:
That's goal shifting

You cant compare that to national of 50% besides is there precedence in Edo state of Christian-Muslim ticket before now or you wanna push a lame argument?

helinues:
Are Muslim in Edo state not more than 10%? Why is the governor and deputy still be Christian Christian?

So you would select vp from 100 out of a population of 1 million?

MetaPhysical:
Diversity does not follow percentage The concept is for representation.

In a town population of 1million where only 100 people are Christians, you respect their mode of worship and not hinder their religious rituals. When passing laws you remain sensitive to how it may impact the 100 people that are not in majority.

I'm from Delta State

helinues:
Like Edo state right?

If Muslims are less than 10%, you'll chose them for diversity?

MetaPhysical:
If your zone is a blanket Christian/Christian or Muslim/Muslim, shut up! You have not respected diversity locally where it matters most, and have no earned authority to demand for it at where it matters less at national level.

We know Christians, they tend to leave things to God. But we will make sure we use our God given strength to wake the docile ones and let them see how this is totally unacceptable.

Be truthful, will Muslims accept Christian-Christian ticket?

ElSudani:
You know Obi cannot defeat the ticket this is why you are all crying.
In politics if your opponent is making a mistake you cheer them on, you don't cry over it.

Be truthful, will the Muslims accept Christian-Christian ticket?

pineed:
Mr zion, I believe your state governor (senator & HOR) is a "Christian"

Can you honestly tell us what you have personally benefitted and what your state have benefited from his Administration?

Pls be truthful.. we're waiting

So what have you benefitted from a Muslim president?

Jking20:
Me personally, there's nothing I have ever benefited from a Christian president not to even talk about Vice.

Do you think Muslims would accept Christian-Christian ticket?

oghalebros:
They just create unnecessary tension everywhere.... My pastor who is saying Muslim Muslim ticket won't work in Nigeria went to Dubai two weeks ago for vacation.. I asked myself, is Dubai a Muslim nation or Christian nation. What we need to who can bring the necessary development we need.

You gain dignity and respect. You gain inclusiveness, equality and equity.

When Esau was selling his birthright, he thought at the time it doesn't matter. Thats what you're doing. If it doesn't matter, why did the core North say Tinubu must pick a muslim else they'll not vote for him?

yemex04:
What did christians enjoy when OBJ and GEJ were in power? Or did Muslims enjoy some certain benefits when Yard Adua was in power? Or have they been enjoying anything under Buhari?

I am Christian and I wasn't paid specially or enjoyed special life when we had christians as Presidents.

Nigerians need to outgrow this issue of religion but focus on development..I wonder why no one has been talking of being fair to the traditional religion adhrents.

The reason APC is flying Muslim-Muslim ticket is the same reason PDP is fielding a Northern Fulani after 8 years of Buhari who is also a Northern-Fulani.

Both parties want to win election.
Simple!

We are creating awareness to awake the docile christians

ElSudani:
Aren't you guys supposed to be happy that Tinubu made a mistake. Why are you all crying over it?

You'll praise him now but if he criticise Bubu or any of the politicians you support, you start running around like a headless chicken

Moh247:




Bishop Matthew Kukah is not your average regular Nigerian pastor, he is very educated

Many times he had appeared on TV discussing with Muslim clerics on Religious matter, he even feeds many poor Northern Muslim during Ramadan



.

Shutup! We have far more percentage of Christians in the North than the negligible percentage of Muslims in the East

Bar1941:
Asking Tinubu to choose a northern Christian is like asking a governorship candidate from the southeast states to choose a Muslim as running mate. Can anyone mention one Christian political heavyweight that can earn Tinubu victory in the northern states of the country? Election is won by numbers and not by sentiments and by the way, this is one of the people that stood by Tinubu when the going was tough.

It's unfortunate where ethnic and religious bigotry had taken us, we have tried Christian-Muslim, Muslim - Christian, Christian-Muslim, Muslim-Christian to no avail, LET'S TRY Muslim-Muslim, Christian-Christian and see if it can solve the problem the country is having. Obi can as well change his vice to a Christian because his online supporters seems more concerned about Tinubu's running mate than supporting Obi since the announcement of Shettima as Tinubu's running mate.

When the time comes, something will be done. But before then, we will talk about it loudly

BigSarah:
Tinubu has made his choice, you go and get your PvC and make your choice.

You should do the right thing, which is get your PvC and vote the preferred option.

It's not enough talking about it, do something about it.

But Tinubu chose based on religion. You're only deceiving yourself

oyin44:
Shame on all the obituaries...

It shows that Bishop kuka is very good man instead of lighting fire he doused it ,.


If you are a like minded person you won't care about one's tribe and religion...


And once again,
Let's give the obituaries a clap of shame..

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally!

spearman:
IGBO GO BACK AND VOTE IN BIAFRA
LAGOS IS YORUBA NATION
YOU WILL REQUIRE LASRA CARD TO VOTE IN LAGOS GOING FOWARD

Lagos is not Tinubu’s making. Lagos was better organized before Tinubu.

Pastorjohn2:
I have seen various posts and comments stating Christians shouldn't vote for tinubu because of his Muslim-Muslim ticket.
I'm a man of God and a born again Christian, I'm here to tell you myself and my congregation and house hold will still vote for BAT.

We're BATIFIED.
he'll turn this nation into the economic powerhouse like Lagos

Let him insult. We wait for the people who will say only Igbos insult

helinues:
Make una dey try to dey lower una tones. We don't have to be like them

People supporting APC are doing so based on tribalism! With APC failure, nobody should be talking about them

Are we not? Are we protesting on the street or destroying things? Are we insulting amybody?

We only say its unacceptable to us and we will encourage Christians to reject it because Muslims can never accept Christian-Christian ticket

helinues:
Then we are advising you guys to do it diplomatically.

All the best

Nope, we must reject from now so anybody sitting on the fenxe knows the implications of being docile

helinues:
Can't you people use your power on the ballot instead of disturbing our ears.

Abi all this epistle na early consolation?

When Esau was selling his birthright to Jacob,
he did not care thinking it meant nothing until his blessings were taken from him. You said you dont care, have you thought about why the Muslims care?

You're docile and take pride in your docility

oghalebros:
This Christian Christian and Muslim Muslim thing should stop... What we need is development of the country. We don't care from where and who it comes from. Has a christain, what have you benefited from Osinbanjo as your VP?

He did far more than that. The fact that you're supporting Tinubu shouldn't make you rewrite history

Kagd10:
Shielded? When he didn't even know who they were to begin with. I mean these group were already existing under Yaradua to begin with.

The only mistake he did was equating them with Niger Delta fighters because first, Niger Delta region are generating revenues for the country. Secondly, the Niger Delta fighters weren't killing people but their grievances were with the people exploiting their oil without giving much in return while spoiling their environment.

Who's talking about amnesty? We're talking about tacit support for bokoharam, you're talking of amnesty

Maghan37:
Amnesty is not shielding. The truth is that to end the violence we have in this country, you will need a similar program like the amnesty program and poverty alleviation programs as well.

All these defenses now will not fly. You're arguing against documented evidence

wandyvirus:
Where do you guys get these lies from?
The president was informed and did nothing for three days. Instead they started a propaganda that the girls were never kidnapped but we're in govt house. That was a lie. It was until Tinubu took Shettina on a global media tour 5 days after that the world believed and the Nigerian Govt swung into action.
Shettima was not told by anyone to move WAEC to anywhere.
It is an election period I know but these lies won't get you anywhere.
Besides the security apparatus is NOT in the hands of the Governor of ANY STATE in Nigeria. ONLY the president can order the police and military. Shettima inaugurated the civilian fighters against BH. Hunters and vigilantes were conscripted for protecting the people before ISWAP and the militia from Libya joined forces with BH.

All this your defense of Shettima, the bokoharam sponsor will not work. Tinubu has got it coming!

Adding more baggages to his already battered image

ElSudani:
Nonsense, boko haram are driven by fanatism, hate and intolerance, the same emotions that are driving most of you who are opposed to this ticket. You are not better than the boko haram yourself.
