Ranting about women on a Monday morning

You will hear those IPOB miscreants and cannibals enveloped with hatred and devour by bitterness shouting Yoruba muslim and Yoruba Christians, they have forgotten we are not in Igbo land where they destroyed mosques and properties of their fellow Igbos, we are not in Igbo land where Igbos openly support unknown gunmen that were killing their fellow Igbos, Yorubas are not divided by religious lines, we are humanity (YORUBA) before religion.

Ment. All the big churches are in Lagos. Have they been islamised yet? Na ment? A good brain would know that since Tinubu didn't islamise his wife and Lagos, he won't islamise anyone. Stop limiting politics and competency to religion.

Like, you could see the high strides which Tinubu achieved in Lagos such as his legacies which include Lekki seaport, lekki trade zone, BRT, Eko Atlantic, BRT terminal, high increase in Lagos revenue even at the time Obasanjo withheld Lagos allocation for several years yet Tinubu made Lagos' thrived regardless. But rather than look at these, you're limiting Tinubu to his religion. How is Peter Obi who's got no achievement whatsoever better than Tinubu's enormous legacies in Lagos? Na ment? Tinubu is a first class graduate of accounting whereas Peter Obi is only a D pass graduate of philosophy.

Also, Tinubu is the most liberal leader who always ensure he brings in intelligent talents to nurture and work with him, irrespective of their religion or Tribes. People such as Fashola, Sanwo Olu, Osinbajo, Igbokwe etc..

Point is most Muslims in the southwest are different from the Northern Muslims. They don't allow religion to cage them. Personally, I hope for when religion would only be limited to home and religious houses because that's where it belongs. By limiting religion to only homes and religious houses, this would create more secular carefree avenue for people to use their brain to think outside of the box and improve their environment. Religion or non religion shouldn't be a determinant in any of our settings. Competence should always be championed and should be the main determinant.

Now on the question why Tinubu chose a Northern Muslim despite being a Muslim. It's a political strategic move. He chose a Northern leader from the core North which happens to be a Muslim since almost all the Northern leaders are Muslims anyway.

You all know that most of the leaders in the South are Christians while Muslims are the majorities in the North. Let imagine for example that a Northern Christian happened to get the presidential ticket of a huge platform, who do you think he would choose as his deputy in the South? Of course a popular Southern who may eventually end up being a Christian. Why? Because majority of the leaders in the South are Christian hence choosing one of the popular Southern leaders could end up being a Christian. That was exactly what Tinubu did. It's a political strategic move.

That's why religion shouldn't be a determinant in any settings because it's only a personal thing. Imagine if Shettima was only seen as a Northern Nigerian while Tinubu was seen as a Southern Nigerian. That already balanced the equation and criteria needed instead of bringing in religion into the prism. Point is when you look at Europe, American and Canada, they don't care about your religion whether you're Christian, Muslim or Atheist. What they care about is your competence irrespective of your religion. You wouldn't care about the religion of a doctor who's to operate on you but his competence. Religion shouldn't be a ticket for you to get your way out of your incompetence and I'm talking about Peter Obi who achieved absolute nothing in his Anambra state.

Meanwhile, I believe Tinubu chose Shettima as his deputy because Zulum was Shettima's protégé. Zulum would have been the perfect fit but he wanted a second term as a governor hence Shettima. This isn't about religion.

ProfessorAlex:
With APC losing Osun election, they've successfully made plans to rig the presidential election and have a perfect reference that elections were free and fair, "like Osun"..
APC and Tinubu know they can't win the presidential election in a free and fair election.
You won't be able to complain cos they didn't complain when they lost Osun. It's all a plan for future reference. They'll gaslight you and try to paint a picture of you being a sour loser.
The silence of APC and the North on the outcome of Osun State election is deafening.
Don't let it deceive you.

Why nobody is holding Nigeria's illiterate president accountable still baffles me.
In a sane country, he would have been impeached

Proposed a business, and introduced him to a partner, my so-called best friend went behind me to contact the business partner requesting they do it alone without me, mind you, I was housing the so-called best friend.

Bola Tinubu is a selfish politician. His decision to settle for a Muslim-muslim ticket has clearly shown that he puts self interest above national interest. At a time like this where our country is tending towards religious and ethnic malaise that have further polarized us along such lines and slackened our national cohesion, a so-called elder statesman like Tinubu shouldn't have throw caution to the wind in the selection of a running mate. Alarmingly, Shettima is an unapologetic and unrepentant Boko Haram sympathizer whose antecedents is of public knowledge. What happened to a Christian APC running mate? Or are there no other persons more qualified and competent for that position in the North? While some may dismiss the argument against a Muslim-Muslim ticket with all repudiations, we all will one way or the other pay for the consequences. This was the same way I kicked against the candidacy of Buhari way back in 2015, pointing out the dire political economic, and religious implication it will portend for our budding democracy, but some political neophytes called me names, today they call back to called me a Nastrodamus.

phemmyjohnson:
Well in as much as the VP is right and we all are right to sympathize with our Christian community , what has the ticket of buhari and osinbajo muslim/Christian achieved since 2015 till date . I rather choose competence also but then you cannot just overlook the killing of the Christians and understand this country is not just ripe to have a Muslim/Muslim ticket at least for now ..

You are chasing after irrelevancies as far as the story is concerned

Yes you are right. But one thing for certain, when it comes drugs, fraud and kidnapping inyamuri usually take the lead. Because they're very good in developing illegal activities.

Argue with your keyboard, if you doubt it.
