If not for the environment he has found himself, Sanwo-Olu would have made an outstanding governor.

Environment or no Environment, I just love the man naturally. He carries everyone along, And moreover, I like him smile.

them dey collect am like say na entitlement.

Nothing. tompolo na government!

Muslim-Muslim Ticket: What Nigeria Can Learn From The Islamisation of Constantinople

By Reno Omokri

First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in today’s ThisDay.

I have just returned from a trip to Turkey, where I was on a pilgrimage to some of the seven churches of Asia, also known as the seven churches of Revelations.

I visited Smyrna (now known as Izmir), Pergamum (now known as Bergama, and Ephesus (now known as Efes).

Prior to this visit, I had visited Laodicea (now known as Laodikeia). There are no remnants of some of the other churches, but I did get to see Cappadocia.

And then I went to Istanbul and the city blew my mind. It was my third visit to Istanbul, but my first time staying on the Asian side.

Istanbul has a rich history that can probably bring you to tears. This city used to be known as Constantinople, and was the center of orthodox Christianity, until on 29 May 1453, when it was conquered by the Muslim Ottoman Empire. Note I said Muslim Ottoman Empire, not Islamic Ottoman Empire.

The Ottomans were Muslims, but they were not really Islamic. In fact, they even conquered the Arabs, and from the 16th Century to their liberation by the British through Lawrence of Arabia, Saudi Arabia was under Ottoman rule.

The fall of Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire meant that Cristian Europe no longer had a buffer against Muslim (not Islamic), expansion into Europe, and one by one, European Christian city states and nations began to fall one after the other.

And why did the conquest happen? It happened because there was no unity In Christendom (political Christianity). The Byzantines were Orthodox. The Roman Catholic Church considered them rivals, rather than brothers. And the Balkan Christians would not even help them. Rather, they were suspicious of them.

When the Byzantines were under siege by the Ottomans, the Roman Catholic Church, rather than help them, insisted that they must first accept their dogmas (Trinity, Mary veneration, Christmas, purgatory, idols, the change from the fish as the true symbol of Christianity, to the pagan Ankh (disguised as a Cross) etc) as a condition for their help. Out of desperation, the Orthodox Church voted to accept the Pope’s terms, but the people of Constantinople refused and rioted, rather than accept what they believed to be an adulteration of their faith by the adoption of pagan European doctrines masquerading as Christian doctrines.

There are about 20,000 of these pure, Orthodox Christians left in Turkey and I have had the honour of preaching to them and learning from them.

A similar lack of unity had earlier led to the Islamic (not Muslim) conquest of much of Spain in 711 AD, which led to 800 years of Islamic rule in Iberia.

And the Byzantines were also partly to blame for their own destruction. While the Byzantines were busy building awe inspiring churches, basilicas, theatres and marble roads, the Muslim Ottomans were razor focused on building a political movement and an army.

And when they were ready, they descended on the Byzantines, and militarily defeated them, and now, all their awe inspiring churches, basilicas, theatres and marble roads belong to the Muslim Ottomans, and have so belonged to them for almost 600 years.

Fast forward to 2022, and the All Progressives Congress is presenting Nigerians with a Muslim-Muslim ticket, of which Kashim Shettima, the Borno Governor under whom Boko Haram thrived and metastasised into the international terror group that it now is, and again under whom they invaded the Christian enclave of Chibok, because Shettima refused the Federal Government’s counsel not to hold WAEC examinations at Chibok, is now assuring us that he will be in charge of security, effectively making Bola Tinubu a puppet, if at all he is elected.

If you do not see parallels between what happened to Constantinople and the Byzantine empire and what the All Progressives Congress wants to serve Nigerians, then you have obviously not been paying attention.

In the last seven years of almost demonic mis-governance by the All Progressives Congress administration of Muhammadu Buhari, we have seen a sudden, unapologetic and zero sum like shutting of the government space to people of the Christian persuasion.

Never in the history of this nation have we ever had the head of the executive (the President), the head of the Legislature (the Senate President), and the head of the judiciary (the Chief Justice of Nigeria), all Muslims. I mean the imbalance is unprecedented.

And then you go to the next layer of government, which is the military and security services. The heads of the Ministry of Defence, Army, Navy, Police, NSA, DMI, EFCC, DSS, DIA, NPS, NCS, NIS, NIA are all Northern Muslims. Where is the balance?

And in the midst of this, the All Progressives Congress wants to increase the volume with a Muslim-Muslim ticket? Think of the psychological damage it will do to the minds of Christians. Even if it is not uttered, it is already clear that the All Progressives Congress sees us as a conquered people who do not matter and who should accept their second class citizenship status without raising dust.

And do not think the All Progressives Congress will stop at their Muslim-Muslim ticket. Did the Ottomans stop in Constantinople? No. They conquered the Arabs, who were Muslims like them. They took Jerusalem. They moved into Europe. Greece fell to them. Then the entire Balkan Peninsula. Then present day Romania. And on and on until they took over Hungary and were stopped at the borders of Austria.

If anyone had told you Imo, Ebonyi and Cross River would be All Progressives Congress states, would you have believed it? But there it is.

Nigerians have to open their eyes and stop believing that it cannot happen here. Are we better than Lebanon? Lebanon was the only stable democratic and multi religious country in the Middle East, until the Christians there slept on their rights, and were soon overwhelmed by massive immigration from Islamic nations that made them a minority in their own country.

What is to stop the same from happening here? Tinubu and Shettima can open the borders Nigeria shares with Niger Republic and Chad to change Nigeria’s demographics and make it impossible to vote out their party in future elections, if they win in 2023.

I was in Bethlehem in 2018. The same thing happened to that town where our Lord and Savour was born.

You see, history does not repeat itself. Men repeat history and blame history for repeating itself.

Nigeria must preserve its religious balance by respecting each faith and balancing our government and public sector. The Peoples Democratic Party respects that balance. The Labour Party respects it. But the Muslim-Muslim ticket of Bola Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress does not respect our religious diversity. And a vote for Tinubu may lead Nigerian Christians to the same fate of the ancient Christians of Asia Minor (now known as Turkey).

So, let us forget our divisions and unite against this imbalance. Whether or not you are Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecost, Evangelical, Charismatic, Celestial, or any other denomination I have not mentioned here. No that those who want to whittle down your faith see you as one. Therefore, you better also see yourselves as one. Or you go the way of the Byzantines.

May that never befall us in Yeshua’s Name.

Reno’s Nuggets

Before you buy an iPhone 14 for a girl you are not married to, as a sign of your love, ask yourself these 3 questions:

Do I have a business?
Do I have a home?
Have I ever bought my parents such an expensive gift?

If you have three nos, then your gift is a sign of your foolishness, not a sign of your love! The first sacrificial giving wisemen make is always to God. The second is always to their parents. But the first sacrificial giving that a fool makes is always to his girlfriend. Why? Because immediate pleasure is more important to him than infinite treasure!

This is Nigeria.

AllahRapesPigs:
Angela Merkel was an idiot. Germany will pay the price for her stupidity in the years to come.

seriously?
can you explain please explain? because I loved her rule.

she just made me remember the former female German Chancellor. Hope she would till that path...

OSUigboFlatHead:
Then why are you using the same adjective that defines your mother with me?

just saying that you dad is a fooool.

OSUigboFlatHead:
Do I look like your mother?

Nope!! but I sure look like your father

OSUigboFlatHead:
Congratulations to the mother and baby.

The cop try but na still rubbish!
WOMEN NO DEY AROUND?
WAS HE TRAINED TO DELIVER BABIES?

Useless generation where women are becoming something else.
They no longer want to be traditional but they want men to be traditional...


Traditionally, it's WOMEN that delivers women's babies. THEY WILL OFTEN CREATE A SHIELD AROUND THE WOMAN IN LABOUR FOR DECENCY... NOWADAYS, NO MORE SHAME!

Why should a sane man feel comfortable with a woman spreading her legs for her in the name of wanting to deliver a child? Only pervért men find this interesting. The shameless ashawoṣ will even be studying gynaecology...


I hate it when I go to the hospital and it's men I see attending to women. WHERE ARE THE FEMALE DOCTORS?

Go to any medical schools and you'll notice that the population of male and female medical students are the same but when you go to many hospitals, it's mostly the men you'll see practicing.
HOW MANY FEMALE DOCTORS WORK AS THE OPPOSITE OF GYNAECOLOGIST THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST?
And as a man, will you be comfortable allowing a female doctor assess your private parts?

Chaii.. you be real mumu

it's not really easy for this people to be indicted or brought to court in this our Nigeria, because the more the keep indicting the more you find out that the whole system itself is corrupt.

VERDA:
One is that he steps down as chairman once a northern presidential candidate emerges.

The said person never even self one year finish, una one make him step down.

things ain't done that way

VERDA:
Abeg make Una shift, playing which God, why can't those so called people who are not playing God, stick to agreed arrangement.

He was not playing God when he almost singlehandedly with a few others funded the party and kept it affloat when the so called leaders now all abandoned it after the election loss. The so called presidential candidate ran to Dubai.

You now decide he is not important, if he was important enough then, he should be important now...
What exactly is he even asking for??...just stick to agreement, how hard is that for heaven's sake.

No one is disputing that.
just that what is the said agreement?

maasoap:
It is easy and convenient for you to accuse him since you are not in his shoe and couldn't put yourself in his shoes. Atiku and PDP shouldn't get away easily for what they did to him.

what did they do to him?
was there anything written that wike would be the parties flag bearer?
see politics played itself out in the emergency of Atiku. And I am solidly behind him. infact wike is even creating enemies for himself

Cromagnon:
before it declines he wants to teach betrayers a lesson.

Bros, who betrayed wike?
Nobody did. See what happened to wike is called politics!!!
Politicking brought atiku as the flagbearer and not threats and empty noise

don't have anything to say.

wike just dey form bully.
am happy this dude isn't PDP flagbearer.
He is just playing God, He should ask Peter odili, after his tenure his relevance begins to decline.

Guy, this on loud gan!!!

omohayek:
See Mr. Dundee united using broken English to call someone better read a "mumu" - as if you and your grammatically incoherent ramblings weren't an examplar of "mumuism" at its worst. I know you're slow on the uptake, but here's some free advice: the sooner you stop typing rubbish into your knockoff of a cheap Tecno phone, the sooner you'll stop providing evidence to the world of your subnormal IQ.

mumu.
if I answer you again ma die.
I couldn't come down to your level.

bye dumb dumb,
and if you reply this message, ogun go kee you.

omohayek:
The pathetic, paranoid prattling of a parasite. I make more in an hour than you get living off the Abia state public teat in a month. It pays to know all that "grammer" [sic] you dozed through during your school days!


The only "idiöt" here is you, and you're a vicious, selfish, greedy one to boot. Imagine the effrontery of a halfwitted rambler like you questioning anyone else's intelligence!


It's "grammar", you cretin, not "grammer", and your inability to spell or write grammatically correct English says it all about just how unqualified you are to be on the public payroll. Abia and all the other states would be far better off purging their employee rolls of puffed-off, entitled deadweights like you, and reallocating the money to things of real value.

Ultimately, the blame for all this nonsense lies in the federal allocation system, which allows state governments to wait from manna to fall from Abuja instead of raising funds through the proper methods of taxation. If taxpayers knew there was no big daddy waiting in Aso Rock to bail them out, they wouldn't tolerate the bloated public payrolls that allow semi-literate sociopaths like you to spew your incoherent drivel online instead of at least pretending to be "working" for the dole you're angrily demanding at the cost of others' suffering.

You mumu Las Las.
chai... anyway, since you get money ma drop my account make you send me money? since you Don blow.

see mumu, way dey correct me, with all your big Grammer, Buhari with wace still be your president, mark way be drop out still dey cash out from your head, you dey here dey form grammarian.

mind you am from Rivers state. So ask

and mind you,i ain't the type that uses Grammer to act all wise, and all knowing. Naaah, that's not my thing. asshole.

see you daft oooh

omohayek:
Better to have no "sense" than to allow an empty stomach to turn me into a selfish, inhuman monster.


Whether she's looking for public sympathy or not, what she has done here is a good thing. That you are incapable of acknowledging as much says everything we need to know about how sincere you are in your pretended concern "for the women of Abia state". All you really care about is getting paid a salary for being a deadweight on the state's payrolls, and you don't give a damn about "the women of Abia state" as long as you get to "chop" public money you clearly don't deserve. You are the sort of empty humanitarian who cares about "people" in the abstract but hates all the individual people he sees in the flesh.

Chaii, I don jam mumu..
I dey suspect say you be her media aid way them dey pay 15k everymonth or she dey go your church..

but wait idi*ot I won ask you something, is it wrong to be paid?

see mr man, tell me one thing apart from this so called eye service that she has done for the good women of Abia state. no come dey use big Grammer they decieve people.

Imagine her husband built flyover for close to 7 years in power. that's his only achievement. and she is here doing eye service because election don reach.

Born2Breed:
Una go dey pray and form churchy and your husband is looting ABIA madly

God bless you..

jclassiq:
You are hopelessly daft.

You, and your lineage is hopelessly daft.
infact, your middle name na dumb dumb.
so you can't express your own opinion with out insult baa? mu. mu

dumb dumb, that woman na public sympathy she dey look for. what has she really done as the first lady of Abia state in terms of women empowerment. shebi na her husband promise new mother's 200 as empowerment.

omohayek:
What a dumb statement. You do realise it's possible to do both things at once, right? It is the height of selfishness to wish for the continuation of another person's suffering because your own hasn't been alleviated - if this is how you are as a public "servant", you probably don't deserve any salary you think your government is paying you, and everyone else would be better off if you were struck off the public payroll altogether.

you be mu.mu
with all this your big big Grammer, you still no get sense.

wait on a more serious note, what has she done for the women of Abia state? any known women empowerment initiative?
no be her husband talk say him go dey give new mother's #200 for transportation back home? what did she say

abeg this woman just dey look for public sympathy. like as if she is nice.
