u be dumbass then for not answering the question.
You're the imbecilee for asking an obviously stupid question. We're talking about Yorubas being divided between North and South and the identity conflict it portends and you're asking about Igbo. I gave you an example of Igbo accepting Goodluck though he is from South South and you're still too dumb to understand. Don't project your low IQ on others


there are many recognized Muslim group in Nigeria.
NSCIA is the Supreme Muslim group for Muslims just as CAN is for Christians. Stop playing with stupidity to prove a no-point

why so dumb like this? gringrin

Announcement is what anybody can do as far as they see evidence that it is time for Ramadan,stop crying on what isn't big deal.
Ok. You'll do the one for next year then? Asinwin cheesy cheesy


instead of worry about Yoruba Muslims,kuku worry about your private jets pastors gringrin
What does private jet have to do with the fact that you are all under the Fulani sultan? Don't blame anyone if poverty is so pervasive in Islamic states

and if tinubu make oneiyaekan as VP candidate, would your hero babachir accept? gringrin

CAN include Catholic and Protestants,we are talking about CAN not just Catholics gringrin
Why not? As long as they are northerners. Will your Fulani Muslim overlords agree?

seems like I'm arguing with my dumbass friend called ojuotana,is that u?

Cos this is the same argument I had with him.



When will black become vactican Pope?
It will happen someday since a Persian and a Cushite have emerged Pope. It is only a matter of time since two blacks vied against the present Pope. When will a Yoruba Muslim like dumb Compton vie to become leader of Muslims in Nigeria

why I say u dumb,u will say I'm lying.

Who told u fulani conqured the kanuri?
Oh ok. They did not conquer Kanuri. The Kanuri king is deputy leader of Muslims in Nigeria grin grin while Yorubas in Ilorin were conquered grin grin

That's why Yorubas cannot become leader of Muslims in Nigeria. Only secretary grin grin[/quote]

This fact check no gel.

Place of birth is different from State of Origin.

Even PSquare and Mikel Obi were born in the North (Jos).

To prove the premise wrong, you roll out the Cardinal's State of Origin.

Dumb question huh Sultan is a monarch. It's just like asking why is a southerner never been an emir of Kano or a northerner never been an oba of Benin.

Some of you will just be giving lame comparisons.
you never know you are more dumped than me, are you not aware that the Sultan is the head of Muslims in Nigeria both South and North. Why has there not been a southern in that position from past till now? You never ask such questions it is another man's religion that concerns you most.

A dogma like you who will never think only to nack your head on ground to the stone in Arebia called allah. Even when they tell you to recite the abominable words that there is no God except the stone called allah, yet you never still get sense.

The sultan of Sokoto is the king of Sokoto caliphate, he is not the head of all Muslims in Nigeria. Muslims in Nigeria are not an ethnic group, nor an organisation, nor a kingdom, they have no common leader, only a common belief: there is only one God and Mohamed is his prophet.

In the context of Nigeria, stupidity and lack of education will certainly make many of you guys believe the sultan of Sokoto is "the head of all Muslims in Nigeria", by the way boko haram is also claiming it's leader is the head of all Muslims in Nigeria...you know what I am going to claim I am the head of all Indus in Nigeria, since anybody can just claim to lead all people following a given religion, and the masses of half educated Nigerians will believe without questioning.

Conclusion : there is no "head of all Muslims in Nigeria", some people want to make such claim, but such a claim is empty on arrival. I don't know about yoruba, but for us in the south-south, the sultan of Sokoto is not the leader of our Muslims, we already have traditional rulers whose crowns predate that of the sultan of Sokoto by several hundreds of years (and we are not seeking to adopt a northern traditional ruler as our leader). So thank you but no thanks.

It seems you do not know much about the religion you are practicing. We have 2 personalities who co-head the religious affairs in Nigeria as recognized by the Nigerian govt which are the CAN President and the Sultan. to represent Christians and Muslims in Nigeria. Now tell me if the Sultan is in that capacity representing the Sokoto Caliphate or representing the Muslims in general? That is one point


The second point is that the Sultan is the only person chairs the council that advises the FG on muslim festivals in Nigeria. Now tel me if he does this based on the Caliphate he is like king over or that he is the head of all Muslims in Nigeria?

Repent and forsake your sins.
Acept Jesus as your Savior and be save from hell fire.

Jesus delivers everyone from sins tha leads to eternal death. He has the power to raise you up from death. He has the power to forgive all our sins. Run to Jesus and be save.

Lol the person that did this fact-checking don kolomental.

So Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, a Yoruba man is now the candidate of the Northern minorities Christians?

If Tinubu pick a Yoruba Christian from the Northern geopolitical zone, will the other Northern Christian tribes in Jos, Benue, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, and other places accept him as one of their own?

CAN marginalizing middle-belt Christians and those in the core North. CAN should be ashamed of themselves.
so Yorubas in kogi state are yorubas but igbos in Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Benue, kogi and cross Rivera should not be addressed as igbos ?

CAN is not even Godly formation ...Just an association of some churches who only wish to be a member.. They have turned it to be a political forum and that is why thousands of other churches chose not to be part of them. CAN CAN DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY SO CAN'T TRUST CAN.
afonja Muslim pig with audacity on church organization,

CAN are not like Shia, izala and Derica who hates and killed each other.

Onayikan is Yoruba, he cannot be classified as middle belt that can represent Plateau or Taraba


CAN has exit for close to fifty years, yet they cannot find a single middle belt Christian to be their President.


HYPOCRISY ON THE PULPIT
afonja but chukwuma from Delta or Rivers is not Igbo ?

1) A religion is not a government organisation, so the Nigerian government doesn't get to say who "leads" a religion.
2) a religion is defined as a set of beliefs, and the Muslim faith doesn't include the belief of the sultan of Sokoto being it's leader.
3) You seem to have a hard time understanding that nobody can claim to be the leader of all people following belief A. But in Nigeria you guys lack basic education, tinubu even claimed some time ago that he were the leader of all "democrats". Once again, having a common belief doesn't turn people into a kingdom or a tribe or make someone be their leader.
Also for your info, the leader of CAN is the leader of an association called CAN, not of all Christians. It will take time and effort for you to distinguish between leading an organisation and leading a bunch of people who have only a religion in common and never elected you as their leader nor had you as their traditional ruler.
Re: Fact-Check: Is It True That CAN Has Never Had A Northern Christian As President by Nobody: 8:33pm On Aug 08, 2022
Having a belief, doesn't automatically turn you into someone's subject. Being a Muslim in Nigeria, doesn't make you a subject of the sultan of Sokoto nor of anybody else claiming to be the leader of all Muslims.
A religion is not a kingdom.
Also being a "democrat" doesn't make tinubu your leader.
Re: Fact-Check: Is It True That CAN Has Never Had A Northern Christian As President by Nobody: 8:47pm On Aug 08, 2022
Most times while talking to Nigerians (especially on this website), you have to teach them things which you can reasonably expect a 15 year old to know.
This is why I hate talking to Nigerians, your lack of education and intelligence make conversing with you not worth more than conversing with a kid.

Igbos are in the south east, not Delta state ! Nor in Rivers state.
You guys in the southeast should learn how to stop claiming people up and down, if people want to join you and claim they are Igbo then fine, but just going around making claims for other people is annoying.

See the difference: the people in kogi state claim to be yoruba ! The people in Delta state and the people in rivers state do not claim to be Igbo, rather some Igbo in the south east claim the people in Delta state and those in rivers state to be Igbo !

Going by eye-witness written documents, the people in Delta state are part of Benin empire, same with the people of Rivers state and they all know and make the claim of their roots being Benin. But some people in the southeast need access to the sea so much that they will start claiming other people irrespective of the people's own claims and historical documents.

The sultan declares when a Muslim festivals start and end in Nigeria.

The CAN tells when a Christian festival starts and ends in Nigeria.

tell me what you don't know.

you claim to know about the religion you have been practicing for long while you can't take a Quran and read a page on your own. You do not know what is inside. People tell you what is inside. Come to Jesus, He will give rest to your soul.

The Bible is open for you to read and understand. No one needs to tell you what is inside.

the only Igbos from Niger Delta are located in imo state (that is if imo state is in niger Delta), without counting the postcolonial or colonial migrants whom can also be found in places like Kano.
