ThrownBack:I don’t hate. I talk facts. All what I say has been corroborated by those who were party leaders and subsequent governors after Peter Obi. Go and find the videos to listen to them. |
Femifasola:Your statement is the height of ignorance. Islam even goes further than omoluabi principles when it comes to teaching morality. What do omoluabi do if their mother opposes them and ask them to worship idols? Will omoluabi accept it or not? Generally, omoluabi is supposed to accept what their parents say. But Islam says you must not worship any other good apart from Allah. In omoluabi tradition, can women inherit property? No. If the husband dies the widow must marry the brothers, is that not omoluabi behaviour? Islam is opposed to forced marriage which is liberating for the woman who is going through sorrow. I can give you many more examples of where Islam goes far beyond the moral or behavioural principles of Omoluabi. The omoluabi of those days used to sacrifice humans for worship of gods. Islam stopped that. Omoluabi will give bride price to the father as the owner. Islam says it belongs to the woman being married. Because it’s actually a price being paid to deflower the woman. Does that not make better sense? You speak out of ignorance. |
ThrownBack:I know him more than you. Were you borne when he was governor? He was a failure as Governor. He was impeached. He didn’t know how to negotiate. ASUU was on strike, doctors on strike, pensioners not paid. No single legacy project. He told lies about how much he left behind. He invested in a poor beer company and state lost investment. I can continue for ever. |
ThrownBack:Peter Obi is a weakling. He cannot do anything. He doesn’t know how to negotiate. He is a failure. |
Is it 1 million or 100 man match you call it? |
Femifasola:You Christian’s must find your way out. Because you met Islam in Yoruba land. Go and read your history. |
Demolakay:To say the truth means lack of education? You must be thick upstairs. Yes, you create mess for many years of PDP rule and expect everything to be cleared off by others so quickly? How smart is that? |
Femifasola:CAN sows religious discord more than any group in NIGERIA. They are the can of worms, not MURIC. This group has always been on side of justice but the injustice against Muslims is just too much. That’s why you think they are irritating you. Pushing you out of your comfort zone of lopsided privileges will bring complaints and murmurings from you. But justice must be done in all areas, not selective justice. |
Moh247:MURIC is not like CAN. MURIC is a human rights groups. They have a right to be political. The Nigerian Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs represents all muslim groups. They are not partisan like CAN. That’s where the difference and maturity lies. CAN is a can of worms, a PDP organisation. |
laaja38:Tales by Moonlight. You have just been deceived by the devil. Jesus Christ is not God. That alone destroys all your dream as fake. You only had a nightmare. Forget it!!! Obi will not win. Did you drink Mkpuru mirin? Stop drinking it from now onwards. |
I know they won't like to read this ��� TINUBU BEYOND NIGERIA'S ISLAMIZATION by Very Rev Dr Okegbile Twenty two years ago, I was sent by Methodist Church Nigeria to serve as Presiding Chaplain, Chapel of Christ the Light (Interdenominational), Alausa, and later at the State House Chapel, Marina, Lagos. My pastoral work at the chapel afforded me a close understanding and religious maturity of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate, of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), and a former governor of Lagos, a state that is a microcosm of Nigeria in terms of religious diversity. His matured management of religion as a way of life, ensured inter-religious harmony in Nigeria’s most industrialised state. Asiwaju Tinubu’s composition of his state Executive Council was a model of religious harmony, trust and love in Lagos State. Nations fail not due to climate, geography or culture. In the words of leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A Robinson, nation fails due to lack of ‘sound institutions that allows virtuous circles of innovation, economic expansion, more widely-held wealth and peace.’ Asiwaju Tinubu’s ability to blend economics, politics and history as a powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty has potentials to place Nigeria on the path to peace and prosperity. Thanks to God for the conclusion of all the political parties primaries and selections of candidates for 2023 general election in Nigeria. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s ‘hard decision’ and choice of a Muslim-running mate is not about Nigeria’s Islamisation or a look down on Christianity in Nigeria. Just as it is understandable and right for the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to express our feelings and fears about the choice of Muslim-Muslim ticket, it is important to note that ‘when religion is used for political purposes, it empties religion of its eternal meaning and becomes just one more cynical method of acquiring power.’ One is very sad about the unabated killings and kidnappings especially against the Christians in Nigeria but we must be very watchful not to allow any blasphemous campaign aimed at provoking anger against the person and aspiration of Asiwaju Tinubu. With practical experiences and encounters with Asiwaju Tinubu and his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, human life is very sacred. Asiwaju Tinubu’s leadership vision for a better Nigeria is able to provide an assurance and commitment for Christian safety and freedom of worship. As a former governor who laid the 24 years development plan for Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu and his wife also instituted and hosted Lagos State annual Christian Thanksgiving Service at Lagos House, Marina, always led by CAN leaders. It was during the tenure of Asiwaju Tinubu as governor of Lagos State that Lagos State Christian Pilgrim Board was given a lifting up and constituted with members drawn across all the blocs in CAN. I think CAN should give Asiwaju Tinubu the benefit of the doubt. This is based on the consideration of his political manifestoes, personal testimonies as a husband to a Christian wife and a pastor, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and his openness to Christian community and leaders across Nigeria. Asiwaju Tinubu while serving as a governor of Lagos State did not stop her daughter, now Iya Loja – Folasade Tinubu- Ojo from being a member of a Christian church in Lagos. I was introduced to Asiwaju Tinubu by Rev J Abimbola Odunlami, a former Conference Public Relation Officer, Methodist Church Nigeria. Upon my appointment as conference editor, Methodist Church Nigeria in 1993, I was put under the mentoring of Rev Odunlami. It was during one of my visits to Rev Odunlami’s residence at Victoria Island, Lagos, that I first met Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. In 2000, under the leadership of Asiwaju Tinubu, Lagos State government sought the support of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Lagos State, to volunteer a Christian clergy for the pastoral oversight of the newly built Chapel of Christ the Light (Interdenominational), Alausa, Ikeja. Only two churches responded namely: Methodist Church Nigeria and Foursquare Gospel Church of Nigeria. I was sent by Methodist Church Nigeria and became the first presiding chaplain. Asiwaju Tinubu and his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu were very regular in the chapel worships at Alausa especially during state’s special functions. Since the creation of Lagos State in 1967, there was no worship place built for Christian worship in the governor’s residence at Marina House except a mosque built by the past administrations. In 2003, under the leadership of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for the first time, the State House Chapel, Marina was built and dedicated with all the CAN leadership in attendance. Asiwaju Tinubu’s support to his wife enabled her to pray and lead other Christian staffs and friends at the State House in the mid-week, Sunday worships, and monthly all-night vigil at the State House Chapel, Marina, Lagos. Asiwaju Tinubu’s form of religiosity is filled with love and welfare of others, Christian or Muslim. Asiwaju Tinubu’s adherence to the tenets of religion is about the practice of equality that benefits ‘all because talent is no respecter of faith; intellect is not limited to one religion. Diversity enhances societies while insularity destroys it.’ Asiwaju Tinubu not only demonstrates religious tolerance, he accommodates and ‘believes in that cardinal principle of the Nigerian Constitution that no one should suffer discrimination on the basis of creed or opinion.’ Very Rev Dr Okegbile, is a former Presiding Chaplain, Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, and State House Chapel, Marina, Lagos. |
These Obituary supporters are confirmed clowns, wallaahi!!! Your eyes go clear very soon. |
Karemarealty288:. I laugh in Swahili and fulfude. Lol!!! But the man has said the truth. You cannot know yourself. You need others to assess you. |
Lying is in Peter Obi’s blood. Such a compulsive liar can never, I repeat, never, be our president in shaa Allah. He is a pathological liar and very shameless. He talks more than he thinks and he talks rubbish. His followers are like him. You can never find an intellectual and highly intelligent person following a third class philosophy graduate. Only jobless hoodlums and vagabonds follow him about. |
NaijaRoyalty:Another wailing IPOB charlatan spotted. |
limeta:Another ignoramus spotted!!! |
ThrownBack:Another IPOB charlatan has started crying here. Someone give him feeding bottle. Lol. |
9jahotblog:You are celebrating Ade dancer, who knows nothing other than dancing? We shall see your life for outside soon. |
agadez007:Imagine that!!! You want Muslims to answer CRK questions, three of them? What exactly is your aim in doing that? To convert Muslims? Is that what you call tolerance We are not stupid. Our tolerance has limits. We will never allow you to convert us through backdoor. You will never allow same done to your Christian children. |
ObidientFC:I hope you are okay. Tinubu was the first to include Igbo in his cabinet and made igbos to have igwes in Lagos. The only thing Tinubu did is to prevent you ingrates from handing over Lagos to PDP that destroyed your states. You ingrates prefer your Godforsaken pdp to destroy Lagos. That’s why you are angry. Bunch of evil ingrates.!!!! |
Copied: MY PERSPECTIVES ON THE ASIWAJU-SHETTIMA JOINT PRESIDENTIAL TICKET FOR 2023. Protocols: My names are Professor Ojo Emmanuel Ademola. I am a professor of Cyber Security and Information Technology Management, and in fact, Nigeria's first professor of Cyber Security. I have a rich teaching culture that cuts across several universities in Europe, America and Africa. I am an ordained minister of God and, indeed, an official of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the diaspora. Currently, I am the Proprietor of the Ademola Ojo Emmanuel Foundation, which is presently establishing the first ever University of Professional Studies (UNIPRO) in Igbajo-Ijesha, Osun State Nigeria. The Issue: The 2023 general election in Nigeria is fast approaching, and the necessary politicking is nearing frenzied heights. The actors and gladiators are helming in and pressing their advantages. The primaries have been concluded, the parties have selected their respective candidates for the various offices, and the stage is set for the commencement of full campaigns. I wish all the parties and their candidates' luck in their various political desires. However, I note that the decision of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to field a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential race has drawn heated reactions from many Nigerians. This is because, so far, APC is the ruling party, the most formidable party, the most likely party, with the most significant structure to win the election. While most of the reactions were borne out of the desire to be partakers in the anticipated victory of the APC, others were borne of the desire to capitalise on the religious fault lines in the country and employ the same to demarket and weaken the ruling party, thereby boosting the chances of the opposition in the coming election. But then, I acknowledge that some adverse reactions against the APC choice are borne out of genuine concerns from some people in a country where religion has been negatively employed as a divisive and rancorous factor when it should be a uniting factor. Having said this, I have to weigh in here and state my position and beliefs on the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC. First, I must state that Religion is a spiritual affair that should not become a political tool. In this, I note that the time has come for all Nigerians to rise to the urgent imperative to detoxify the religious content wrongly built into our politics and governance by ignoring every effort to interpret apparent political and governance issues along religious lines. There should be clear boundaries that separate politics from religion, and this must be clearly adhered to if Nigeria must record progress. There is no linking chain between them. So we should stop the penchant for using the religious microscope to examine clearly political issues and offer interpretations that continue to divide us and eventually pull the country down. During elections, we are not required to elect leaders that will lead us to heaven but leaders that will employ all indices to chart our progress as citizens and the growth of Nigeria. Christian, Muslim, Traditionalist or any other belief should not matter in leadership selection. Countries that have made real, significant developmental strides have not bothered about the religion of their leaders. They have not elevated such to the very height of their priority during elections. Before recently, the religious belief of occupiers of political offices in Nigeria was immaterial. Thus, Chief Obafemi Awolowo contested for presidency in the second republic with Chief Philip Umeadi on a Christian-Christian ticket while Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe ran with another Christian. Prof. Ishaya Audu in the same second republic without any fuss. What's more, the current President, Muhammadu Buhari, governed Nigeria as Military Head of State with his Deputy, a Muslim too, and many people didn't even notice. One of the most successful regimes in Lagos was that of Lateef Jakande, and his deputy, Rafiu Jafojo, both were Muslims and Lagosians never cared. There are legions of similar cases, and no one tried to stoke the fires of intolerance, enmity, and anger because rightly. Nigerians knew that good governance, the ultimate reward for the right democratic choice, does not depend on whether the leader attends church or mosque. So the furore being instigated mainly by opposition politicians against the choice the APC has made is as immaterial as it is needless in choosing the next President of Nigeria. Again our constitution didn't make any provision for religion as a pre-requisite for political office in Nigeria. Because it is unnecessary and clearly of no importance to governance, the laws of the land clearly treat religion as a non-issue in governance. So why should we use religious adherence as a prerequisite for leadership selection? Besides all these syndicated religious hooplas, my interests are on who is most competent, qualified, capable and demonstrably equipped to lead Nigeria to developmental glory amongst the people jostling for the presidency. This isn't a difficult task because Asiwaju Bola Tinubu stands many poles ahead of the others presently in the ring. He is the most competent and has demonstrated impregnable knowledge of leadership and the basic requirements of governance far above all the others desiring to govern Nigeria. Talking of competence. Asiwaju has Lagos as an unbeatable template; no other candidate in the race can either argue or contest. Today, Lagos remains the oasis that drives the country's survival when other states have crumbled under poor leadership such that Lagos today offers a redemptive impetus to citizens of other states fleeing from the leadership tragedy in their respective states. From the solid foundation laid by Tinubu as Lagos Governor, between 1999 and 2007, Lagos has transformed from a 'jungle' which then President Obasanjo dismissed it then to the fifth largest economy in Africa and still growing exponentially-all thanks to Tinubu's vision, competence and grip in governance, which none of the contenders to the Presidency has. It gladdens the heart that his chosen running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima, has an equally brilliant run as Borno Governor, and both raised equally competent successors who have continued their visions in both states. No other candidate and his running mate has a similar success story! What's more, no one, not even the die-hard religious bigot and dedicated zealot, can point to any form of religious persecution Tinubu or Shettima or their successors did in Lagos or Borno to the advantage of Muslims and the disadvantage of Christians! Again, Tinubu is perhaps, the country's most successful talent hunter, with a redoubtable capacity to identify and poach the best brains for various tasks. This has gifted him with perhaps the most competent and dedicated discipleship among Nigerian leaders today. As Lagos Governor, he assembled the best team ever in any state in Nigeria to govern the state, and they had the best result ever. Shettima had the same record in Borno, and it was from such repertoire of leadership acumen that the wonder boy, Gov. Zulum, was poached from. Leadership is all about identifying talents and deploying them to deal with daunting challenges. Tinubu is Nigeria's best here, and that is why Lagos is perhaps the biggest success story to have come out of Nigeria. We are equally seeing the wonders being done in Borno by current Gov. Zulum, which is a credit to Shettima's own capacity to identify and poach the best talents for developmental tasks. So a combination of Tinubu and Shettima promises to be a leadership record-beater that comes once in the lifetime of any nation. Amongst all the candidates on display in Nigeria, Tinubu is the only one with proven technocratic competence acquired while working in such octopoidal multi-national company as Mobil both in the United States and Nigeria. He is the only one with a reputable record of working for very respectable international accounting and auditing firms. This accounts for his unbeatable record in Lagos and why he is the best hand, Nigeria can boast of to turn its fortunes around. None of the other contenders comes near this record in their work lives! Among all the candidates, Tinubu is the only one that has a noble history of fighting for the present democracy. No other candidate has that history. Tinubu risked his life, sacrificed his resources, his comforts, etc., to lead the fight against the military and gift Nigeria with the present democracy. No other candidate did, so he is best qualified to lead Nigeria, having long been a stakeholder in the battle for a better Nigeria. I just want to leave it at these few instances where Tinubu towers far and ahead of every other contender for the 2023 presidency and return to the vexed issue of religion which is where the other candidates seek to invest in to shore up their own sagging challenges. Tinubu's choice of a Muslim deputy is a purely political option he took. It was the only option left to him, given that as a Southern Muslim, he is a religious minority in the South. Given that his choice of deputy is informed by the need to boost his electoral chances (like every other candidate), he wouldn't have chosen a deputy from among the Northern Christians, who equally are minorities in the North. This would have made both him and his deputy two minorities, and this would have impaired his electoral chances in a country where religion has been tuned to a tool for religious exploitation. So, insofar as we are dealing with politics and leadership. Tinubu's choice is sound and the best option open to him. But then, given the antecedent of Tinubu, a Muslim married to only one wife for over 40 years, whose wife is not only a Christian but a pastor, those mischievously shooting religious darts will hardly hit the target in their quest to smear Tinubu with their mischievous religious tar. As the great development in Lagos recommends Asiwaju for the country's leadership, his cosmopolitan, cultured and liberal attitude to religion makes the task of the religious bigots harder. Here was a Muslim governor who instituted the yearly thanksgiving by Christian leaders as an official tradition in Lagos! Here was a Muslim governor who not only handed schools back to the Christian missions but whose government partially funded those schools when they were returned to the missions! Here was a Muslim governor with very close and enduring personal relationships with leading Christian leaders like Cardinal Okogie! Equally, we have been overwhelmed by profuse and overwhelming testimonies by revered and leading Christian leaders on Sen. Shettima, flowing from the liberal and tolerant policies he carried out as governor. We have heard from the very leadership of CAN in Borno, who threw instant support to Shettima as soon as he was named as Tinubu's running mate. We had heard and still hear from the very President of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama, who reiterated the position he made when Shettima was governor because of the policies of the former governor, which eschewed religious bias and intolerance. With these, among several other compelling reasons, why should anyone or interest stoke fear, distrust, intolerance, and acrimony over these two liberalists, very competent and dedicated leaders, based on the religion they profess? As I earlier said in this piece, choosing a president, his deputy or any other political leader, we are not choosing anyone to lead us to heaven. We are choosing leaders to tackle our problems and challenges, so whether they attend churches or mosques or worship in their ancestral shrines is very immaterial. Tinubu and Shettima emerged purely through the political process, using political criteria. God did not commission them to win souls for Him, which is the prerogative of religious leaders, so Nigerians will be shooting themselves in the leg if they allow bigots and charlatans to deceive them to employ religion to stymie their progress and future. Religion should be left to where it belongs. As a Christian leader and pastor and a former official of CAN in diaspora, it makes no sense to me that some of my brethren are seeking to use religion to abort our best chance to improve the lots of our people. Why don't they ask the faith of pilots before boarding planes to their various destinations? Why don't they ask about the religious beliefs of drivers before boarding cars? Why don't they ask the religion of doctors that attend to their health issues? Hypocrisy, purely misguided political hypocrisy! In recent years, I have seen the effect of the SUKUK bond, taken from the Islamic bank to fix our decrepit federal highways, which had left our roads far better than they were. I should have expected those zealots and bigots now desperately splashing religion all over to reject plying on these roads because they were fixed with loans from Muslim banks! Concluding: We should not forget that in 1993, Nigerians faced such similar scenario (though of lesser magnitude) when the late Chief MKO Abiola chose Alhaji Baba Gana Kingibe as his running mate. Religious zealots made frantic efforts to poison the political climate with similar hoopla and insipid propaganda as we have today. Nigerians ignored these evil gospels and voted massively across all states for the Muslim-Muslim ticket and gave Abiola and Kingibe an overwhelming pan-country mandate. It took the noxious act of then Head of State Ibrahim Babangida to annul this great wisp of fresh air callously, and the action nearly crumbled Nigeria. Through Babangida's unfortunate indiscretion, Nigeria lost a golden opportunity to deal decisively with religious bigotry-for that was what Abiola-Kingibe's election was. I expect Nigerians to rightly use the opportunity of the Tinubu-Shettima ticket to deal the final death blow to this religious ennui that clearly enchains our progress as a nation. I recommend we massively vote for the Tunubu-Shettima ticket firstly because it is the most competent, the most capable and the best equipped to govern Nigeria irrespective of whether the duo go to church or mosque. Secondly, voting for the Tinubu-Shettima ticket will put the final nail on the divisive religious politics that has been sowed in the Nigerian polity to divide and cause a perpetual crisis in Nigeria. It will fulfil the aborted resolve Nigerians took on June 12, 1993, to do away with the noxious infiltration of religion into our politics and governance. Prof. Ojo Emmanuel Ademola. |
