The Nigerian Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola during a recent interview with Channels TV explained why religion should leave our public space.

According to the former two-term governor of Lagos State, religion should leave the public space and go back to homes where it belongs.

The APC Chieftain noted that there's too much religion in our public life. According to him, religion is a private thing.

He spoke against praying in public while opining that the act of praying in public should be stopped .

He noted that under the current administration which has a Muslim president and a Christian vice president, Christians have been killed in the church just like Muslims are being killed thereby making it clear that the issue is not peculiar to one faith

That's not our problem sir, kindly tell your boss the true position of this country alot of blood is spilled everywhere people are dying every hour because of insecurity, the country is facing with a high volume of poverty there's recession and inflation honestly this is not what we want hear please tell baba to act now we are tired of him and his policies people have lost confidence in him and his administration � �

The thing is that no matter the criticism tinubu is your and our next president.

Any serious and sensitive Nigeria know tinubu is the best candidate among them. Competence and good governance are imbibe in Asiwaju.

The movement is Divine ✊✊✊✊

Every christian should vote wisely this is how they started with south easterner now since 1999 they're being denied of presidency

Nigerians If you vote Tinubu as President, you will turn Buhari to a celebrated Hero because as bad as Buhari bad he would make a better President. Awuzubillahi.....God forbid bad thing...Olounmaje ooooo. SDM

That's not our problem sir, kindly tell your boss the true position of this country alot of blood is spilled everywhere people are dying every hour because of insecurity, the country is facing with a high volume of poverty there's recession and inflation honestly this is not what we want hear please tell baba to act now we are tired of him and his policies people have lost confidence in him and his administration � �

This man is a correct mad man, when we do that, our lives doesn't have meaning at all.

Very Brilliant and I would have loved APC Presented Fashola /El-Rufai. The ticket would have been ���

This man that failed Nigerians when he was minister of power.

Only if the radical Muslims killing “kafirs” in the middle belt and the North would listen.

Until these senseless killings are resolved once and for all, religion will still dominate in public related matters.

Try another media spin, evil APC party.

The problem is not religion but false religion.

People preaching what they don't practice.

If religious Nigerians only did half of what their religion preaches, Nigeria would be the African USA.

But of course they don't, so they've made the benefit of religion to be of none effect in the nation.

Yes Fmr Gov Fashola is very right. Christianity and Islam should be practiced in private

I can't speak for Islam but real disciples of Christ practice our faith in private and we don't disturb anyone with noise! Matthew 12:19🙂

All priests should be licensed by chartered bodies. An Awo Orunmila is more than a degree holder and an Araba Awo is more than a Professor. It is a real body of knowledge and not a holy book affair.

Do you think the highlighted is generally acceptable globally or your own personal opinion?🙂

To become an Awo Orunmila is a real academic exercise. It takes some people up to ten years. That is the first degree and it is an age long practice. Then you start teaching others and after a while of accumulating students you become Oluwo which is like a PhD. It is fellow Oluwos and Arabas that then make you an Araba which is the equivalence of a Professor. So for those who are conversant with the system, what I said is generally acceptable

The highlighted is what makes your idea useless because it's not generally acceptable globally it's like someone imposing Islamic clerics claiming they are equivalent of a professor something billions will find really amusing!😂

While we can say a Sheikh or Bishop is the equivalent of a Prof and be somewhat right, Awo Orunmila is even moreso because what they learn is methodology, literature and etc. You are first an apprentice then a master after which you continue studying. What you learn to become a first degree Awo is more voluminous than the average degree course. You are Awo then Oluwo and finally Araba and not everybody rise through the ranks. They are pure academic ranks and are equivalent of BSc, PhD and Professor

lawani:

Guy stop deceiving yourself.
If there should be any rule it must cut across all not just picking one above the others.
It's what crumbled the above opinion.

No ifá or orunmila practice each person must remain silent no public hearing of any kind it's either you speak to individuals one on one or keep whatever you think you know to yourself!🙂

I understand your point that all should be treated the same but I also want you to understand that spirituality has always been an important part of all human cultures without exception throughout history and it is religion that uses threat that is new. I believe spirituality should be protected by government. There is hardly any way divination based spirituality can be faulted. It is not right to throw the baby away with the bath water.
Ifa/Orunmila is like nuclear physics, carpentry or tailoring. A real knowhow. It is not religion

You are the one segregating them but in real sense whatever doesn't come from a person's perspective but inculcated is the same as RELIGION it's the number of adherents that makes a difference.

Ifa/Orunmila is handwork gotten via knowhow. It is not the same as religion. They have clients and not adherents
