Have you eaten today sir?

Your father can succeed him after 8 years...

The number of foolish people are too many, so Nigeria can never be great (this is on the masses).

Tinubu will never be the President of this country not even one day.

His analysis is perfect. But the truth is no true born again Christian has ever ruled Nigeria, just church goers. And, church goers are not recognized in heaven.
Now, that being said, if only Muslims are allowed to hold power for 24years, then, they will consolidate power so much so that the system will have no room for the emergence of a church-goer again.
Hmmmm....a very dicey situation indeed!

Is that all you could comprehend from the piece?

I have optimism that after Tinubu nobody will talk about religion in Nigeria's polity again. Tinubu is known for exploiting competence and talents than religion which most Yorubas are known for. Let Tinubu choose who ever he thinks fit the cap and ride us to the dream land

Would you have said this if it were to be Christians?

You are the pretender here. You pretend to carry everyone along by advocating for Christians and Muslims to take turns in the office. You are the pretender because Christianity and Islam are not the only religions in Nigeria. What about idol worshipers and atheists? When will you give those ones chances?

Until you realize that religion and governance are distinct from each other, things will keep getting worse. Being a Christian or Muslim does not guarantee good leadership. Some Muslims have done well in the office. Some Muslims have done badly in the same office. No religion has only bad people. No religion has only good people. So, how does religion matter here?

If an atheist win election, which book will he swear the oath of allegiance to?

We havr less than 1percent of atheists in Nigeria, most traditionalists r somehow tilted either towards christianity esp those found in the south east and south south and those in western states tilt towards moslem.

So for now the 2 predominant religion are christianity and Moslem.

immortalcrown:
Your logic only inspires religious discrimination (religious conflict). The problem of Nigeria today is not because Buhari is a Muslim. The problem is because Buhari is wicked and incompetent. If the leader is rational and competent, the country will be good irrespective of the leader's religion. Stop deceiving yourself.

The problem is because the North wanted power to return to north becausr of yaraduas demise.
The north is predominantly Moslem, so any presidential candidate from there must be a muslim.
Tinubu wanted being buhari's vice, they told him it can't work. He grudgingly nominated osinbajo...
Today he wants to practicalise his stupidity by picking another moslem from the north cos he believes only them can make him win.

Time shall tell

Donshegxy10:
where are the christians?
In politics, nothing is given.

I personally like osinbajo, obi , moghalu and durotoye.
But i cant even see them, why are they hiding in their bedrooms?

Do they have the structure to win a presidential election?
Have they form a formidable alliances that can make them win?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Obasanjo and jonathan are christians, what did i benefit specially as a christian during their tenure, now that buhari is in power, my self and my muslim friends are still paying the same price for goods and commodities.

The same rain that fall on a christian will also fall on a muslim, no matter the religion of the leader.

Bros muslim muslim ticket won't work, simple as that.
Just like Christian christian ticket cant work in Nigeria.

Whether there r bad christians or not, point line is it wont work.

i am not in support of muslim/muslim or christian/christian ticket.
My position is that, TO ME it doesnt matter if a christian or muslim becomes president after buhari.

Taribo West or Taribo North!

Penguin2:
Would you have said this if it were to be Christians?

With a person who is very neutral and patriotic I'll humbly say the same....

Penguin2:
As Tinubu proponents continue to try to market Tinubu’s ambition to naysayers, one of the greatest hurdles standing in his way right now is his religion.

The argument is that it will be insensitive to the yearnings and feelings of Nigerian Christians for Tinubu who is a Muslim to succeed a Muslim Buhari.

But even if we were to overlook that, another question is who would be his Vice? Northern political and religious stakeholders have made it clear that the region cannot be represented by a Christian being that they are predominantly Muslims. So if Tinubu must garner votes from the north, he must choose just another Muslim from the north as Vice. That would be a Muslim/Muslim ticket and if they succeed, they are likely to rule for 8 years. Now, when you add Buhari’s 8 years, that would 16 years of Muslim rule in Nigeria.

Then comes the question of who would be Tinubu’s successor after his likely 8 years in 2031 supposing he was to win 2023. Going by zoning, power would naturally return north and the north being predominantly Muslim would naturally prop up a Muslim to take their slot. Supposing he too were to be victorious at the polls, he would go for another 8 years as is guaranteed by the constitution, right? Now, add Buhari’s 8 years to Tinubu’s 8 years to Tinubu’s northern successor’s 8 years, that would amount to 24 years of Muslim rulership in Nigeria.

These are not conjectures, they are facts as they are.

Now, does it make sense that Nigeria, a country of diverse people and religion would have 24 years of people from same religion being in charge? Is that how national cohesion and social integration would be built and cemented? Will Muslims be comfortable to have such long years of Christian rulership without causing social chaos?

So, even as it’s Tinubu’s constitutional right to aspire for the presidency, and even as we might give him credit, to an extent, for being the first engineer of the new Lagos which demonstrates his capacity, his ambition, if it succeeds, would disrupt a lot of social order and glue that holds the entity and union called Nigeria together.

To avert such disruption, it is therefore imperative that Tinubu realizes the near impossibility of the materialization of his ambition and supports a Christian Southerner to succeed Buhari rather than continue to pursue a futile ambition.

Penguin is a bird of reason!

Religion should never be a basis to elect leaders
If you are to talk about religion, is it only Christian and Muslim that are in Nigeria, we have other religions too
How about tribe
We have hundreds of ethnic groups in Nigeria yet the presidency has be rotate among the few major ones
If you are to argue about religion then you can’t rule out tribes also

the question you should be asking is what effects have these oaths of allegiance sworn by our politicians have had on making them make decisions that benefit the masses first rather than their pockets?

The question u should be asking is why was it inserted in the constitution?

immortalcrown:
I never said you argue against Igbo presidency. I just used the analysis to explain that religion does not guarantee good or bad governance. A Christian can go there and do the things the Bible condemns. A Muslim can go there and do all the things the Quran condemns.

I want you to explain how a Christian being the president will guarantee good leadership.

All the governors and local government chairmen in Christian states are Christians. How good are their leaderships? Is the same thing happening at the federal not happening in those states and those local governments?

My guy your brain set.

So it was said in Kaduna State until it happened. I don't understand our irrational sentiments.

You funny. If it can happen in such a very volatile religious state as Kaduna what makes it impossible for it to happen in Nigeria. People had the same mentality as yours in Kd then, until what the assumed impossible because so easily possible which is a progress because it has broken such dogmatic sentiment.

Southern kd is in a confused state presently, rl rufai capitalized on this to run them street knowing fully well most indigenes won't come out to vote.
He boxed them to a corner with the banditry stuff then pull out the stunt.

Sensible northerners abound and they don't want such shit.

If they had wanted, buhari and tinubu would have been on the balloy 2015.

Were you born durying the Zangon Kataf crisis? When was that and why?

If we must discard religious bias then it follows that we must discard ethnic bias too. Let only competent Hausa/Fulanis rule Nigeria till eternity as long they are ‘competent’.

Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Edo, etc, must never complain as long ‘competent’ Hausa/Fulani keep winning the presidency.

That makes sense, huh?

I have said this severally. Tinubu becoming President will harm Nigeria because after him a Muslim comes in but if Atiku rules, I will handover to a Christian

The point the OP raised is a very valid one. Nigerian Christians will feel very alienated in the event one of their own is shut out from power for 24 years and would bring about unnecessary distractions for the next regimes

PresidentAtiku:

But Atiku himself is highly corrupt....and Fulanis have pillaged this nation enough....

remigreat:
Well, your political permutations and analysis seem right in all aspects of the game. However, what Nigeria needs now is a man or woman with the political will and sagacity to set the country on the right course irrespective of tribe, religion or what have you. Nigeria shall be great again.
