All these your grammatical blunders just because of Buhari. You will just slump and die of hypertension. 2019 is coming, buy form for your biological father. Let him contest against Buhari. Your father may just be the Messiah or Mai Suya that Nigerians have been waiting for. If not, just keep your mouth shut before I forcefully shut it for you.

Most Christians accuse Gen. Muhammad Buhari of
Islamic fundamentalism, even when the man can't
even remember the last time he visited Saudi
Arabia for Hajj. This is moreso that most Muslims
view him as a liberalist and secular.
All these accusations are coming at a time when
Goodluck Jonathan, a sitting President is
frequenting Israel and various non-coherent
churches in the country for acceptance as the
church's annointed candidate, and this is
considered normal and a birth-right by the
christians.
In short, to become a Nigerian president, a Muslim
must be a sell-out and secular, while Christian must
be seen associating with the church.
This is how evil democracy is.

Do you still hold this same view ?

I am eagerly waiting to see if Buhari will dust up another perjury case by heading to court to swear another affidavit over his purported missing secondary school cert.

As President, I believe he can easily branch Cambridge in the UK and ask them to print another original certificate for him.

Anything short of this will be considered as a forgery.

We will not accept any affidavit in Buhari's INEC form come 2019; be it declaration of age (which he is apparently confused on) or WASC certificate.

I had to make this thread to set the record straight after seeing several posts here by the APC urchins blaming the PDP and GEJ for introducing religion into our politics.

While religion has always been a consideration among voters and even Military regimes in choosing who occupies both the President/Head of State as we can see from Murtala/Obasanjo and then Obasanjo/Yaradua to Shagari/Ekweme, it was Buhari after toppling Shagari that relegated that arrangement and went for a Muslim deputy in the form of Idiagbon.

IBB will settle for a Christian deputy in the form Ebitu Ukiwe. Ukiwe will later resign his position and was replaced by Augustus Aikhomu and even Abacha had a Christian deputy in the form of Diya.

Abdulsalam settled for Michael Akhigbe a Christian and with the return to democracy, Obasanjo picked Atiku (A Fulani Muslim) as his deputy; Yaradua will settle for Goodluck and Goodluck will have Sambo - a northern Muslim.

Buhari will relunctantly settle for Osinbanjo after the Muslim-Muslim ticket was resisted by members of his own party prominent of which was a northern Muslim - Saraki.

It is important we lay bare the fact that religious persuasions in picking deputies has always been the norm and was meant to assuage the populace of a balance within the helms of affairs.

However, it is important to note that the antecedents of Buhari going against the norm in picking a fellow Muslim candidate went against the tide.

But most importantly is to consider the utterances of Buhari in 2001 and 2003.

In 2001 while attending an Islamic seminar held in Kaduna as special guest, Buhari declared his unequivocal support for the Sharia project and his commitment towards ensuring that Sharia law is universally applied within our polity.
Here are his exact words;
“I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria”

He then added that;

“God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country”.

Buhari an advocate of sharia was chosen to address that seminar in Kaduna because of his advocacy and he did not disappoint because he is one of the boardroom voices of Sharia.

Now fastfoward to 2003 general elections with Buhari contesting against the incumbent, Obasanjo and this is what Buhari declared;

"Muslims should vote for only Muslim candidates that will defend and uphold the tenets of Islam"

Buhari made the call while attending a Quaranic recitation competition organised by the Zamfara state governement where he further stated to the audience that they had "every reason to thank Allah for restoring sharia" which he further claimed was "destroyed by the British Colonialists during their crusades in 1903 against the Sokoto Caliphate". Emphasis on the word Crusade!

The APC urchins failed to factor all these sectarian speeches and call for the return to the glory of the Caliphate through the re-enactment of Sharia law not only in the Muslim north but all over our polity by Buhari but rather chose to go all out and blame GEJ for pandering to religious persuasions by attending Church services.

This ploy was meant to sway ignorant Christians who bought the propaganda and saw GEJ's open display of worshipping in a Church as a desperate bid to get the fence-sitting Christian votes.

It worked!

HsLBroker:
Nigeria leaders been using religion to cover there evil since time in memorial.

Buhari is an Islamist extremist to the core.

The stupid foollowish [sic] tithe paying idiots claiming to be Christians ignored GEJ and voted this madhist and for some reason they are now crying Jihad?

For some reason this is tolerated and acceptable:

It happened in the Middle East, Egypt and Turkey where once proud Christian populations dumped their religion and heritage and embraced Islam and from there made Arabs their rulers.

Yorubas should take note of the Yoruba Muslim problem.

It has taken a spike over the past decade with prominent Yoruba Muslims like the current Minister of Communications and Ishaq Akintola leading a radical movement on campuses through the Muslim Student Society.

There is a very clear and apparent danger in future that the Yoruba Muslim will pick up his sword to fight his fellow Yoruba non-Muslim for Sokoto.

There is a reason why almost all Yoruba Kings are Muslim.

Its just a matter of time.

Blue3k:
I listed multiple examples available on Wikipedia including in Australia daft wailer. Now you hyperventilating charolete North Carolina avoiding your first argument about dry ports needing to be by international border or in land locked countries. You guys are goal post shifting champions.

There are no dry ports in the middle of the United States just like your zombie king chose Kaduna.

You lie will not make this foolishness logical

You listed two ports in the US as dry ports only for me to quickly shut your lying ignorant mouth down.

Now you want me to believe that Australia, with the longest coastal line with no land borders will decided to cite a dry port in the outback? You must be really smoking cheap weeed

Blue3k:
I choose dry port. Lol the are located long distances from the ports. Again it still proves my point the don't need to be in landlocked or by international border. The point of dry port is to speed up clearing times.

Your mumuism no get part 2.

Next time research your lies properly before dropping them here.

Charlote NC ports is a waterway port located on the Mississippi river similar to what Lokoja or Onitsha ports would have been if developed

Try another lie, you compound zombie

jerseyboy:
Kwara and Osun Muslims are the only primitive Yoruba. They suffer so much in educational gap compared to their Christian counterparts from those same states that I have come to the conclusion that Islam dulls the brain.

They were also responsible in handing Ilorin to fulanis and are the willing useful idiots ready to hand all odua to sokoto

Blue3k:
The examples I gave weren't so my point is proven. North Carolina, south Carolina and Virginia aren't. I already proved it's not necessary for dry port to be located near international border or in land locked country. Why would USA or Sustain a have dry ports if that's the case. The point of dry ports is to ease business increasing clearing times and giving shippers reduced cost of moving goods to ports.

You are so daft that you chose port cities in the US without checking the map.

Nonesene again.

Buhari that introduced religion into our politics since 2001 when he declared his total commitment to universal sharia law?

Or is it the same useless Buhari that called for Muslims to vote only muslim candidates when he was facing Obasanjo in 2003?

You hypocrites!

Wasnt it el Rufai that mocked GEJ kneeling and praying in church?

God will punish all you BMC rodents this year with your own lies.

jerseyboy:
You're so right. Omenke and Sarrki might actually be the same person. The one thing for sure is these are irredeemable Afonjas. Forever slaves to our Fulani lords.

99.9% of BMC rodents are either from Kwara or Osun and they are all Muslims.

It is hard educating one with fixed mind
You think a successful Army general, former Governor, minister of petroleum, head of state and PFT cordinator cannot afford such decent life for his family from his renumeration in and out of office?

Do you know the entitlements of former head of states?


If Buhari was like others, he would have been the richest Nigerian been the most fortunate

But the goat has been preaching that he was broke ?

You guys used his austere demenour to claim he was a man of integrity and even claimed he owned no house in Abuja as proof.

Why are you now claiming he was rich after all to the point he could send his children to schools abroad?

Yeye

Blue3k:
You should look at a list of dry port around the world. A lot are located by international border and dont need to be in landlocked countries. I start with examples in US. There's one in San Antonio Texas, Charlotte North Carolina, Fort Royal Virginia etc. You staying nonsense again about dry ports just look it up. The later aren't close to international border.

I looked up VAT point your right on that.

Is Kaduna in anyway located within international borders?

Ilorin was a small town in the Oyo Empire by the beginning of the 19th century. Afonja, Baale of Ilorin, who also held the title of Are Ona Kakanfo of the Oyo Empire, rebelled against his king, the Alafin of Oyo, in 1817. (There is no space here for the reasons for his rebellion). In order to sustain his rebellion, he was desperate to build a large and powerful army. To that end, he did a number of desperate things.

First, he invited the people of nearby villages to move to Ilorin and turn Ilorin into a large town. Many people so moved, but most refused.

Secondly, he reached out to many prominent friends all over the Oyo country, and invited them to come and live in Ilorin. Some accepted his invitation and came. Among these was a rich trader named Solagberu from Kuwo. Another was a man named Alimi, a Fulani man who had long lived in the Oyo country peddling charms from town to town. Afonja employed Alimi to make charms for him and his army.

Thirdly, Afonja decided to exploit a religious situation that was causing trouble in the country at the time. A Jihad movement had started in Hausaland in the north in 1804, generating wars and stormy Islamic evangelism there. It was started and led by an immigrant people called Fulani. The Fulani immigrants were few among the large Hausa nation, but very many of the Hausa who were already Muslims sided with the Fulani – and thus made it possible for the Fulani to defeat the ancient Hausa kings and make themselves rulers over Hausaland.

Some of the violent Jihadist preachers trickled south into the Oyo country. Everywhere they came, they were causing a lot of commotion by preaching violent and disrespectful sermons against the Oyo kings and chiefs, and against Yoruba culture in general. Yoruba people, with their tradition of religious tolerance, were alarmed; and angry crowds began to attack the preachers. Afonja decided to exploit the situation by issuing a general invitation to the Muslims to flee to him in Ilorin, promising to give them protection there. Thousands of frightened Muslims fled to Ilorin, and Afonja trained many of them for his army. (Afonja himself did not intend to convert to Islam, and he never did).

Fourthly, most rich Oyo families had Hausa, Nupe and Fulani slaves - used mostly in farming, trading, livestock rearing, etc. Most were Muslims.

Afonja decided to exploit this also. He issued a proclamation saying that if any slaves ran away from their owners and came to him in Ilorin, he would give them freedom and protection there. Large numbers of slaves, mostly Hausa, fled to Afonja, and he trained some of them for his army.

Afonja thus had his large town and large army. Most of his army’s commanders and soldiers were Oyo Muslims. A few of the soldiers were Muslim Hausa – all slaves recently set free by Afonja. But many of his Hausa soldiers were unruly. He warned or threatened them repeatedly, but with no result. When he at last decided to discipline them, they mutinied. Afonja was killed in the mutiny - in 1823.

Meanwhile, while Alimi had been making charms for the army, he had become a friend to many of the Oyo commanders who were Muslims, and these hadmade him Imam (Islamic teacher and preacher) for the Muslim community in the army. After Afonja›s death, the same friends gradually made their Imam the ruler of Ilorin. They also created some officers among the Hausa soldiers - for instance, Balogun Gambari. The powerful men doing all these things were Oyo.

That then is how Oyo people made a Fulani man the ruler of Ilorin. When Alimi died, his elder son, Abdulsalam, was elevated to his father’s position by his father›s powerful Oyo Muslim friends. Adulsalam had lived in the Jihad in Hausaland and had only recently come to live with his father in Ilorin. He knew that the Jihad had made the Fulani the rulers of Ilorin - with a Fulani Sultanate based in Sokoto and quasi-independent Fulani Emirs in the separate Hausa kingdoms. So, after he was made ruler of Ilorin, he sent to Hausaland to announce that he had established an Emirate in Ilorin and to ask that his Emirate should be accepted as part of the Fulani Sultanate.

In this way, Ilorin became a Fulani Emirate, ruled by a Fulani family.

Ilorin was, in population, still an Oyo town - probably over 95% Oyo in population. And Ilorin was never conquered or even invaded by any Fulani army. Those influential Oyo men who made Alimi and his son the rulers of Ilorin did so out of fervour for their Islamic faith.

When the news of the happenings in Ilorin spread all over the Oyo country, people were shocked to hear that Ilorin people had made the family of an obscure Fulani charm peddler their rulers. Therefore, people formed armies to go and subdue Ilorin and flush out the Fulani impostors. None of these invasions of Ilorin succeeded. The invading armies were poorly organized, and, moreover, the old Afonja army defending Ilorin was just too powerful. In fact, in the end, the Ilorin people, in order to ensure perfect protection for their fervently Muslim town, decided to go out and conquer most of Yorubaland (all the way to the sea coast), and make all of it a Muslim empire ruled from Ilorin.

Their army marched out in about 1838, conquering town after town towards the south, and causing mammoth streams of refugees. Till today, most Yoruba people still call this Ilorin invasion a Fulani invasion of Yorubaland. But it was not a Fulani invasion at all; it was an attempt by the predominantly Yoruba Muslim people of Ilorin to conquer and Islamize the rest of Yorubaland.

The victorious Ilorin march southwards ended suddenly in 1840. The refugees who had gathered in the Egba village of Ibadan had quickly become a large town. Their army marched out and met the Ilorin army in Oshogbo in 1840, and totally destroyed them, capturing many of their commanders. From then on, the power of Ilorin was more or less over, and Ilorin never dared again to face the Ibadan army in battle.

In the following years, Ibadan became the most powerful state in Yorubaland, and established control over the Oshun valley, Ife, Ijesa, Ekiti, Akoko, Igbomina and parts of Iyagba. Ilorin continued to be ambitious to control some territory in its immediate neighbourhood – in nearby Igbomina and Ibolo (especially Offa); but they feared Ibadan. In 1877, the Ekiti, Ijesa, Igbomina and Akoko revolted against Ibadan’s rule, and the Kiriji War started, keeping all these peoples and Ibadan busy until 1893. Ilorin took advantage of this and established some feeble control over parts of Igbomina and Ibolo.

However, at home in Ilorin itself, a proper Emirate could not develop. The powerful Yoruba war chiefs wanted to re-establish the traditional Yoruba political system whereby the chiefs in a kingdom select their king. The Emirs resisted. By 1895, the chiefs were winning the contest grandly – a situation which forced the Emir Momoh to commit suicide after setting his palace on fire. The victorious chiefs then installed Sulaiman as Emir. This was the situation when the forces of the British Royal Niger Company came and conquered Ilorin in 1897.

In the years that followed, it was the British that established Ilorin as a full-fledged emirate, making the Ilorin Emir like the Emirs of Hausaland. The Emir then took advantage of that to establish all sorts of Emirate-type control over Ibolo and northern Igbomina.

In short, Ilorin was never conquered (was never even invaded) by the Fulani. Ilorin is more than 90% Yoruba in population. The Igbomina, Ibolo, and Ekiti of Kwara, because they have hated the imposture of the Ilorin Emirs since the beginning of British rule, tend to be usually cool towards Ilorin. Rather it was the treasonable ambition of Afonja and the Yoruba Muslim converts who handed Ilorin to the Fulanis.

Today, the same group are at the forefront fighting to ensure that all Yoruba land falls to Sokoto.

Blue3k:
VAT is charged at ports? I don't think so. Anyway doesn't change fact dry ports benefits businesses. Dry ports are pretty normal all over the world. Don't be against for illogical reasons.

Everybody is entitled to his or her own opinion but not facts.

All services and goods rendered in Nigeria are subject to VAT.

Dry ports are only normal in landlocked countries or within land borders.

Siting a port in the middle of Nigeria far from any international border is foolishness.
