Northern Religious Extremism, Is It Enough Reason To Divide Nigeria? by FatherOfJesus(op): 9:01am On May 14, 2022
Personally in my opinon, I think the way northerners reason in terms of religion is a big factor as whether this country should be one.
We seem not to be same set of people. We are different and the more we stay in this country, the more tendency for a clash to happen in future if we cannot contain the extremist northern muslim.

What do you think?

Below is the so called alleged blasphemy by DEBORAH. Are we really in one country?

SULTANATE COUNCIL OF SOKOTO APOLOGIZES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR THE MURDER OF DEBORAH, STUDENT WHO SAID JESUS IS THE GREATEST AND JESUS MADE HER PASS HER EXAMS

It's unfortunate.

Her crime was that she said that Jesus was the greatest and that Jesus made her pass her exam.

That is what they call blasphemy.

It's not that she said anything against their religion.

She talked about her own religion and Christ.

It is now blasphemy for Christians to speak of their faith in this secular country called Nigeria.

Lanre Ayoola.

You are wrong, i am a southerner and a strong believer of my people's freedom but to divide the country base on religious bigotry/extreemism is equally wrong. If it can be bulkanised based on tribalism,ethnicity, that is ok. If you divide nigeria based on religious extreemism or bigotry, what will be the fate of indegineous christians in the north likewise muslims in the south? The truth is northern muslims lack religious tolerance. Majority of the imams inculcates extremism on them.
Re: Northern Religious Extremism, Is It Enough Reason To Divide Nigeria? by Nobody:
Yes divide Nigeria into regions, western region and if South South want to be servant to igbo they can go with Biafra.

Igbo have the religion intolerance just like North, they are only quiet because they are powerless. I want separation and non-indigenes kicked to their father land.

What an idiotic stream of thought. There is a considerable number of Igbo in the demography of the so-called South-South. There will be no so-called south-south when nation states replace shithole called Nigeria.

Deborah that was killed is from the North. You need to understand that there are many Hausa Christians, Kanuri Christians, North has many indigenous Christians. So dividing won't solve the problem.

Southern Christians political leaders are not vocal enough. If they are, we can abolish sharia law from Nigeria.

So Igbos are a threat to ur existence because they don't want you people killing them in their farms? Anyway, no point exchanging words with you.

At least you have finally agreed that you are fulani... that's what av been trying to ascertain.
Ciao!

Well, I think you have perosnla issues with the igbos. This is not what the topic is all about, so kindly stick with the topic and let your personal delusions off it.

I am not Igbo myself though but I can see the obsession in you. Get a. Life

My problem is not Igbo, it's their hypocrisy embarassed they all kept quiet about soldiers killed in South East threatening people to remove video online.

They are in the fore front of Deborah now making things more complicated than before.

I was disappointed when they all kept quiet about the death of audu a northern Christian killed by ipob, I'm annoyed Gloria and Audu didn't get justice because some certain tribe practice selective criticism.

You should understand my pain now, we failed Audu, let stop this tribal and religion violence, stop fanning it. This is what ipob are doing hoping it will lead to destruction of Nigeria.

They are not doing it for Deborah, they are doing it for their ego and more violence

The problem with some of you is that you are unbelievably naive, and this -together with whatever crumbs they are giving you- is what the northern hegemony is counting on in their bid to 'keep Nigeria one'!

So you actually think 'strong laws'...'enforcement of laws'....and 'imprisonment for those openly supporting terrorism/fanatism' will actually work in your Nigeria!? Who are these upright and honest politicians, police and judges that will impliment all this, and where are they presently!

Southerners, right from the likes of Zik and Awo, have been too naive and too willing to trust the words and actions of these northerners, and this is part of the reason why we are in the mess we're in today!

NO!...What you're 'disappointed' about is the fact Ndigbo didn't buy into your evil agenda of going out to murder innocent individuals and then turning around to try and pin the blame on IPOB!

Ndigbo are sorry for the avoidable loss of all lives in this wicked contraption you call Nigeria! But when you want to commit murder and expect Ndigbo to buy into your false narration as to who the culprits are....you'd have a long wait on your hands mate!
