I don't see reasons why peoples carried religious for head, Religious isn't the problems of this country,it wee the peoples be the problems..If you're not comfortable,vote whoever you wish..No be by force to vote for Muslim ticket,if that is your problems.peoples vote based on better economy and change,not religious bigotry everywhere..
Religion is not the problem yet people from a particular religion are the fore runner of bombing, banditry, kidnapping and killing across the nation.
why is Killings only happen in churches, for a country were some religious youth burn a female to death for speculated blasphemy and walk scot free, a country were muslims can go on killing spree and the govt will look the other way my brother Religion is a problem.
The major problem Nigeria is facing right now is bandits and insurgence geared by religious fanatics ... if religion is not a problem why are people jittery north won't vote a northern xtain.

who told you christian is a majority in nigeria? Loool
Don't lol... let me make it clear. The day Nigeria does a proper census then you'll find out. One of the appointees of Jonathan who wanted to do a biometric census was forced to resign his position. And there's a reason for that. Those oligarchs from the North didn't want to expose their secrets.

Large swathes of Borno, Bauchi, Kebbi, Adamawa, Kaduna are Christians. The North Central is predominantly Christians. The whole of the South East is Christian majorly. The South South almost all Christians. The SW Ondo, Ekiti mostly Christians. Lagos, Oyo, Ogun also has large swathes of Christians.

Not even in a dream are Muslims majority in Nigeria.

Atiku going for Okowa is a good news to me, Okowa doesn't have any influence outside Delta State. Wike would have been a very strong option.


As for Tinubu,this is the beginning of his failure. Choosing a northern Muslim VP in a country with Christian majority,he doesn't value the presence of Christians in Nigeria.

APC has sent a clear message that they don't care about Christain. President, presidencial candidate, Senate president and now VP Candidate are all Muslim. Where is the justice for Christians?


Anyways na Obi we know.
I thought u people claimed that delta north indegenes were also Igbo, or is it when u want to forcefully co opt people into your Biafra that u remember that delta north is ibo and ikwerre is also ibo.

Ifeanyi Okowa is the best choice for pdp
Very much so.
He seems to be a very strategic politician who has worked to displace Ibori as the Delta landlord going by the outcome of the PDP primaries there.
Peter Obi lost it when he hurriedly left PDP instead of stepping down at the primaries for Atiku. Hopefully he can still retrace his steps back and get the SGF or ministerial post.

We already have enough to divide us, let's not add more. Moreso, I can't say this for all Christians in terms of bigotry....some are bigots but not the majority.
Also remember that CAN, PFN and co are politicians in their own right and they do not necessarily represent mainstream Christian views at all times.
CAN and PFN represent christians, I don't know what denomination u belong to or if u are even a Christian, but know this aa a fact.

Christians would have made them drank

Ask Ghanaian Muslims how is it like being minority to Christians. Ask D.R Congo Muslims. Ask Igbo Muslims. Ask Plateau Muslims. Ask Benue Muslims.
It is hellish! All zones and states Christians dominate in Nigeria have been on Christian Christian ticket since independence and 1999
what about the zones that Muslims dominate, like sokoto, Kano even kaduna with significant christian population, have we not had Muslim Muslim ticket since. In those places u mentioned how many times have mosques been attacked or has any Muslim been burnt to death for flimsy excuses, how about attacks on Muslim owned businesses?
Re: Running Mates: Tinubu’s Camp Narrows Down On Shettima, Atiku On Okowa by eldoradoxx: 8:42am On Jun 14, 2022
Tinubu is falling into a grave error with his Muslim VP choice. Three Muslims will be fighting for votes in Muslim North namely Atiku, Kwankwaso and Tinubu. APC is a majority party in the North but Tinubu is from South meaning that many people who voted Buhari/APC will switch camp to another Northerner, after all Buhari is not running and they can switch their loyalty to Atiku or Kwankwaso,therefore splitting Northern Muslim votes into three parts. The swing region for the next election is actually Southern Nigeria whoever among the three that wins majority in the South wins the election.

There is no doubt Tinubu is winning the South.. His only dilemma is how to win North, that is why he is choosing a Muslim VP from the North. Shetima is competent and nice but he is not a heavy wing in Northern politics. If I am in position of Tinubu and I have accepted to go with a Muslim Muslim Ticket, I will choose a strong politician like Ganduje or El Rufai who cannot be pushed over. Shetima as ex governor has no structure even in his own state.
Tell Tinubu, if he wants to eat frog, he should go for the fatest one.

I'm sure you're are blind and solidly an illiterate for this your comment. A country where its hard to live a month without reading church massacre, christian mass are... A country where Islamization has gone beyond plan to actualization... You still believe we shouldn't be religious-conscious because you're part of a killer-religion. You'd suffer for this your comment.

Zulum, Buni and Yahaya of Bauchi are comfortable with Shettima, they will work for him to pull votes.

Also note that the VP must be someone who has strong credentials, no accompanying baggage with a sense of loyalty to the President. Ganduje is a good administrator, but his baggage is too much, while El-Rufai is too strong and radical.

Shettima is a WRONG CHOICE. The only Borno man to work with is Zulum all the rest are the reason for the failure of this government and boko haram that has infected the whole country with insecurity. That is the work of Borno politicians and they want to bring them to nationalhuh?? They destroyed buhari’s government with senseless advice now BAT is falling into their calabash??

Please don’t mind that fool. He’s trying to appeal to us to form woke for a Muslim Muslim Ticket. No way!. Obi and Kwankwaso can decide to work together to pull this off. It’ll be best merger of two brilliant men for the decade

Zulum or shettima will be the best choice for tinubu...okowa will only curry delta north votes for atiku while udom influence won't go beyond his state
Shettima is a perfect match, lets Gov Zulum focus more on Borno and deliver the state together with other political icons in the state.

I strongly believe the combination of Asiwaju and Shettima will surprise Nigerians interms of good governance .


May God leads Asiwaju to pick the best running mate.
