My Brother, You Are Talking About Osun And I, Nigeria. People Of Osun Can Decide What's Best For Them, People Of Nigeria Have Decided Against Islamisation.

When obasanjo was the president did you know the northern can deprive him of the seat and don't forget those northerners where most MUSLIM they gave presidency to Christian to lead them what's the result since then ?

The cable has proven to be run by foolish people. One of their articles deliberately misquoted Pat Utomi.


They keep exposing themselves. Islamist extremists!!

Why do we have sharia if it is not a in Islamic Emirate?

Why do most Muslims support killing for blasphemy and Nigerian police and army remain silent?
What are you even on about for heaven's sake??, Did you even read the article??, It's actually against same faith president and vice president because it will be catastrophic for the psyche of the country...

Make una dey try read before commenting.

Yorubalandlord:
this is what I keep telling my yoruba muslim brothers, but they keep saying that religion doesn't matter.
Nigeria is a multi religious country, and Christians and Muslim are the dominant religion, why will a presidential candidates that want to unite Nigeria, make the christains feel left out, and yet you all justify what he did.
we yoruba Christians say NO to Muslim muslin ticket and tinubu.
please no adan(bat) member should quote me oo
We in the South South and our brothers in the South East and even Northern Christias are not mistaking about rejection of Muslim Muslim ticket, in fact we have resolved that as far as next President is concerned, he MUST be a Christian from the South, after all Christians are absolute majority in the South and power ought to return to South after North has had 8 years with Buhari. The person who fits this now is Peter Obi and he happens to be the smartest of all the Presidential candidates. Our only fear is Yoruba Christians, you guys are the majority in the West, very tolerant and accommodating, but it appears that the Yoruba Muslims who are in the minority really are emotionally manipulating you guys not to mind religion in this coming Presidential election. The fact that Yoruba Christians were willing to support Tinubu a Muslim minority is commendable, but Tinubu refused to reciprocate your tolerance when he went up North and negotiated his fellow Muslim as your VP. That is a sin that no idea of Yoruba brotherhood can wipe, he needs to be voted out so that his kind will never ever attempt to go into any political deal without respecting the religious sensibility of Yoruba Christians and indeed the entire Southern Christians who are actually the majority in the South.

Nonsense talk

Allow people to vote their choice. Religion is not a factor for contesting under the electoral Act.
It is silly statements like this that has led to all agitations in this country. Same thinking Buhari has that led to this much devision in the country. You guys just throw words around without being circumspect in your thinking...

What do I know self, you might be one child with free internet that knows nothing about the intricacies of harmonious existence between a diverse people.

God wont forgive any Christian who votes any ticket that has Muslim Presidential candidate after 8 years of Buhari a Muslim. Christians are not slaves or minority in Nigeria, There are 20 Christian Governors in Nigeria with defeat of Oyetola in Osun. Christians don't have any reason to be ruled or play second class position to Muslims if they unite and vote end mass for a Christian. Muslim Muslim ticket is what is going to push Christians to vote their own since Tinubu could not find one Christian to be his VP, let's give him one Christian to be his President. He will learn from that experience. Nobody should tell you, Its not about religion, if it was not about religion why are Northern Muslims not willing to support Tinubu unless he runs with a Muslim VP

This article pretty much captured the sentiments of Northern Christians in particular and Christians in general across Nigeria.

The implications will be grave and the fragile nature of Nigeria currently won't survive it.

Below is link to another article that explains the crises that would emanate from it.

God does not discriminate....
He deals with Men accordin to his will...
Christians are never united in the first place...
They should have seen this problem 8 years ago that it is awkward for a Muslim
to represent the South in the first place...
The above scenario should not have come to play at national level.
I dont envy Tinubu at all....
He has to choose between going for a Northern Christian or Northern Muslim...
U either choose to face the wrath of Christians or face the Jihad of the North...
No easy way out for Him.... on both path...
As a man .. he must choose a path...
He has made his choice ....
May God be with him and with everyone in Nigeria as we decide !

If hats what you are doing you're targeting the wrong crowd. When it comes to religion Yorubas are more matured and advanced than you yeebos and your opposites up north. I'm a Yoruba Christian and I don't care about the religion of any candidate. Mind you, I don't want Tinubu to get anywhere near Asshole Rock not because of his religion or competence, but because of his age. Although it will be amusing if he wins just to see all of you IPOB cum Obidients dash back in droves to "Biafla or nothing" after the elections.
Some of you should think before you type, all this crap about I don't care about religion or ethnicity is just that...* Crap *...

Wise people know that when you marginalise a group, tribe or religion, there are always agitations and if not properly managed, leads to disintegration...

Few people that are not up to 1% of the country rightfully think like this acting all enlightened and intelligent and assume others are not, the stupidity is that you guys fail to understand that over 95% are sectional in their thinking.

It's as if to say a father has 20 children, 10 each on opposing sides, while the father cares about competence, if that father were to pick 2 representatives for the family, to prevent a bloodbath he would be wise to pick representatives from both groups to lead even though he knows he might get the most competent from one group...

Nigeria is even more complex than a family unit and the above example is an oversimplification but sadly one has to go this route seeing as some of you are not smart enough to understand the basic tenets of leading a very diverse people...

South Sudan and Sudan were once one country, I am sure they had people that claimed to be all enlightened and intelligent feeling religion did not matter leading to a particular religion dominating and we know how that ended. Make Una dey try think deep, some of you have not traveled beyond your little enclaves to see the way of life and believes in other parts of the country.

You just blindly feel every one sees things the way you do. Make we dey observe.

Op permission to share this thought on every platform I am engaged in.
It's very important we sensitize everyone expectially those sitting on the fence.

Terrorist are preaching against the govt, urging them to join them in their quest for an Islamic state, Muslim-Muslim ticket will give them morale and credence to the Ideologies they are preaching to people.
Apc must be crushed now for they are willing to sacrifice anything just to retain power angry
They are known that they are the greatest disaster to hit this country,they are afraid that Nigerians will kick them out like pdp angry

So what you are saying in essence is that, no muslim should run for 2023 presidential election because power will shift to the north after eight years and a muslim will probably emerge president. I don't think that makes any sense.
It simply means, Muslim president Christian vice president, Christian president Muslim vice president cause Nigeria is equally Muslim and Christian country not an Arab country

As for your question about traditionalists, it's the same reason you will not hear any Christian indigene in Kano complaining about not being governor or deputy ....Or hear the indigenous Muslims in Enugu complain about not being made governor or deputy...

"Let us assume then that Tinubu and Shettima triumph at the 2023 presidential election and proceed to complete two terms. Power will thereafter be liable to rotate to Northern Nigeria, which will probably produce a Muslim. At the end of two terms of that person, following the two terms of Tinubu-Shettima and counting back to the two terms of Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s presidency would have been occupied by a Muslim for pretty much a quarter of a century or for 27 out of 32 years going back to the administration of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua."

This part of the article is what I don't agree with because the issue of having a muslim president (for 27 out of 32 years) will still be the same even if Tinubu picks a christian vp.

Having a Muslim president and a Muslim vice president, in a country where there are radical religious people who can mob a young girl for simply practicing her faith by saying Jesus helped her with her studies is wrong, a country where there are religious terrorists killing people in the name of religion, it can't work, Nigeria has never been divided along religious line like this before

The north are deceiving tinubu to front a Muslim Muslim ticket so that the presidency goes to atiku.
Tinubu is a fool.
Tinubu would have stepped down for osibanjo so that osibanjo and someone like nuhu ribadu will be accepted.
The southeast and South south will support them.
Atiku will just die a natural death.

Suffer head like you, so when they say those who live abroad should raise their hands, you self go raise hand too lol. I won't step foot in a dead country like libya even if i am offered a million dollars. You see agbado and cassava chop na im you embark on your isrealite journey to libya through the desert drinking piss as water. And you are still a loafer even after all the sufferhead journey. Perhaps you you are even working as a slave to raise money to pay your trafficker his balance so he can get you over to europe on a banana boat or are you planning on swimming across the Mediterranean sea to italy? You should be more worried about your lowlife because it is completely worthless where you are. Even camels fare better than crockcoaches like you who hold their hearts in their palms whenever they step outside because your arab slave masters are looking out for pigs like you to harvest their kidneys even while still alive. You shall be caught!!
