The highest result of Education is Tolerance (Helen Keller, 1903). There is a need to look inward on the matters that dismantle the peaceful coexistence in our society. In a multi ethnic society that share the bond of religion, tolerance is pertinent. Tolerance can never be achieved if one group plays God. If we are to live in peace, we must come to know each other better (Lyndon B Johnson, 1965)

When I lived in the Muslim community of different cultural groups in the North and South of Nigeria, I enjoyed the freedom of existence in my relationship with them.

In the Northern part of Nigeria, they don't entertain jokes especially at the expense of their religion. Religion comes first in everything they do. If you are to live in their community, you must respect their position on religion. So it is in India, where Cows are worshiped. Out of the 29 States in India, 20 states prohibit Cow slaughtering. Slaughtering a Cow for any reason is tantamount to killing their God. Peace connot be kept by force, it can only be kept by understanding (Albert Einstein)

I have spent many years in Academics and I have a bank of experience on how we oppress the Muslims by depriving them their rights.

When I left Obafemi Awolowo University some years ago, there was only one Muslim lecturer in the Faculty of Pharmacy. Out of the Twenty one Lecturers in the Department of Educational Foundation and Counseling, only Dr Sobowale was a Muslim. The Department of Medicine under the Leadership of a Professor who is also the General Overseer of a Church, witnessed an Era where competent Doctors were denied their right of employment because of their Muslim religion. I was sad when I heard that the Small spot on the deck of the Health Sciences building where the Muslim students observe their prayers have been closed whereas classes or any spot in the faculty premises are open to Christian students for fellowship or Devotion without infringement. Christian lecturers have tried in many ways to cancel the Space were the Muslims observe their prayers in the Geology Car park but Professor Ramon of the Geology Department has played a major role in maintaining the spot.

In many occasions, I have intervened in cases were Christian Project Supervisors enforce Christianity on their Project students. They use Christianity as a prerequisite to excellence. I have fought Christian lecturers who deprive some muslim ladies their rights to wear the hijab. These sinful Lecturers never fight against the Catholic Sisters who come to classes, Laboratory, Examination halls and Seminars wearing the Catholic Ragalia or those students who dress like Harlots but their problem is the hijab.

On the 29th day of November, 2021, Dr Awoseemo who served has the Principal of School of Nursing and Midwifery, Obafemi Awolowo University, pressurized the Muslim Nursing students to sign an undertaking stating that they will not use the hijab in the school premises.

On the 5th of February, 2013, According to the Punch News Paper, the Principal of Kadara Junior Grammar School in Lagos State; E. C. Ukpaka, flogged a Muslim student; Aisha Alabi for putting on the hijab. If Ukpaka had beaten the student 5 or 10 strokes, it wouldn't have bothered the public but 43 stokes of cane is harsh and inhumane.

In September 2019, The Premium Times published a news where 30 Professors of the University of Ibadan submitted a petition against the school Authority for scheduling Senate meetings to Friday Prayer times. Some Christian Lecturers also fix Classes to Friday Jumat time.

This is not the right platform to discuss how the Christians in leadership Positions in Universities and Government Parastatals deny the Muslims of Job opportunities, Scholarships, Grants, or Work benefits.

In all my years of work, I have enjoyed working under a Muslim faithful than a Christian Devot. A Faithful Muslim will not deny you a job opportunity because of your faith. He will not beat a Christian Nun because of her Regalia. He will not stop you from morning devotions or force you to join him while he is praying. He will not abuse Jesus Christ or Holy Mary.

Tolerance is the best religion. As Christians, we must stop the oppression and cease to preach hatred towards the Muslims. They are not our enemies. We need to teach our children that Christianity is not Superior to Islam and the Pastor is not Holier than the Imam.
Either men will learn to live like brothers or die like beasts (Max Learner, 1949)

I've said it time without number that the hoax called religious tolerance in south West is nothing but big SCAM. The kind of shit Yoruba muslims takes from their Christian counterparts is unimaginable which their Christian fellows can't take 0.001% of such treatment from Majority Muslim Yorubas.
Professors Kperogi and Akintola of MURIC have been vindicated by this piece!
The Church must STOP hatred of others religious views!

The training of nursing in Nigeria is unique because it's devoid of religion, tribe,culture, creed,skin colour, races, kin and knots. In fact, the training in Nigeria is universally acceptable evident by, how our nurses are living the country in drove.
The guidelines of/for training are clear from the students prospectuses. If the author is satisfied, he should go a kill himself.

Both Christian and Muslims are from one source Judaism, Islam fighting like thug against their brother from another Mother is Simply unnecessary and useless.

I know most of your Bible off-hand, I can’t see where Jesus called himself God in all the verses you wrote, maybe you should consider writing it out in full context and verse….

Before then… check this out

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus” (Acts 3:13).

Peter further said: “God raised up his servant” (Acts 3:26), where the title servant refers to Jesus.


Not only Peter, but the entire group of believers viewed Jesus as God’s servant. When they raised their voices together in prayer to God, in the course of their speaking to God they called Jesus “your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed” (Acts 4:27). They repeated this title also in verse 30. Consistently, Jesus was being called servant of God by the original followers of Jesus.

Some people mistakenly thought that the disciples called Jesus Son of God. An inconsistency of translation actually helped to give this wrong impression. In the King James Bible, the translators call Jesus “Son of God” in Acts 3:13, 26, and “child of God” in Acts 4:27. They simply translated the Greek word paida as “son” or “child”. But the word paida also means “servant”, and the present context demands this translation since the author of Acts is trying in this passage to establish that Jesus is indeed the servant of God.

The translators knew that the Greek word paida means servant. When the same word was used for David in chapter 4, verse 25, they translated it “servant”. Why not call Jesus also by the same title? Or, if they feel that “son” is the correct translation, why not also call David “Son of God”? Jesus and David are both called by the same title in Greek. Why not call them by a same title in English also?

Other translators recognised this inconsistency and corrected it in the modern translations of the Bible. Therefore the New International Version of the Bible and many others call Jesus Servant of God in the verses already quoted above. Nevertheless, the fact that Jesus was God’s servant was so well known that even the King James Bible called him by this title in Matthew 12:18. Referring back to Isaiah 42:1, Matthew identified Jesus as the servant of the one true God Yahweh.

When Christians who have been following Jesus and Bible more than 500 years before Islam came to cause confusion, listen to them not to quote Bible out of the context. You can't come now to teach them what Christianity should believe.

You are only quoting and cramming Bible with mindset to antagonize Christians not to understand it from the Context and background it was applied. If you can't comprehend the Bible except you quote wrongly, humble yourself and learn from the Christians themselves. Anybody can interprete Bible as he/she likes to antagonize; Satan crams Bible more than you, but twisted it trying to deceive Jesus with it and not for his own moral living.

You and your Islamic teachers/dawahs are only quoting Bible and turning it upside down so you can critisize like Satan did to Jesus, but not to follow or obey instructions of Jesus. If you like cram Bible like you are cramming the entire Quran, it is useless if you are only doing so to antagonize

God is a nature like man is a nature.
That's why Paul said Christ was in the form of God before coming to the world.

There's a nature of dogs, of chimps, birds and lions. The same ability, characteristics and attitude would be found shared in a lion family between father lion, mother lion and son lion.
You can't possibly say the son of a lion isn't a lion. You can't possibly say you as a man's son isn't a man. So we can't possibly say the Son of God isn't God.

How do you know your question is not answered then? When you already know answer, why asking? And if I give you my own answer, it wouldn't make any difference either in you because seed of God's word is being sown in wrong mind. Most of them have given you the right answers from christian perspectives, humble to learn; but the problem is that door of your tender heart has closed, it only opens for critisim like Satan did to Jesus. Jesus knows Bible, Satan also knows Bible. Jesus's perspective has been shown to you by the followers of Christ and Bible; you need a renewed heart in Christ to be able to receive the truth of God's word and understand. However, if you are trying to cram and quote Bible blindly like Satan did, sorry; you are not ready to receive true of God's word into your life, but to antagonize which may lead to waste precious time.
