FFK Reacts

I have immense respect for Sheik Jingir but I am constrained to point out that the extremist rhetoric he has indulged in here is most unhelpful and neither is it true.

Worse of all is the fact that it is highly provocative.

Kindly take note that it is a very slippery and dangerous slope to take and is best avoided.

Nigeria is NOT a Muslim country and neither is she a Christian country.

She is a SECULAR and MULTI-RELIGIOUS state comprising of BOTH Christians and Muslims in equal numbers and that is our strength.

We are supporting a Muslim/Muslim ticket for 2027, as we did in 2023, only because of the calibre, ability, sincerity of purpose, character, utility and electoral strength of our Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and their ability to deliver and not because they are Muslims.

One day we may have a Christian/Christian ticket too because with God all things are possible.

Let us leave religion out of politics and consider issues, policies and personalities instead.

The Christian community has fared very well in Nigeria in the last three years under this Government and far better than they did between 2015 and 2023 even though at that time we had a Muslim/Christian ticket.

We must not allow this issue to divide our ranks.

We are NIGERIANS before being Christian or Muslim and we must not only stand as ONE but also go to the polls as ONE.

We overcame religious intolerance in 2023 and won the presidential election and by God's grace we will do the same again in 2027.

Poll Result: 65% of Nigerians believe the Muslim-Muslim ticket is a religious war against Christians.
After the genocide they paid billions of naira to PR firms to deny and try to cover up, it should be clear to everyone by now that this Muslim-Muslim ticket is a religious war against Christians in Nigeria.

Empty heads like this man is the reason Nigeria is retrogressive

Imagine for a moment if a Christian pastor or priest said this at a political party gathering in Abia state.

Imagine what will happen nationwide.

It will be the focus of news headlines for weeks.

It will be a subject of protests.

It will be condemned as religious extremism by the Presidency and state governors.

But notice how quiet everywhere is

This one and his types are the ones that collects money from politicians and foist fools and empty heads on the country as leaders, it is left for those listening to him to decide if Muslim - Muslim ticket has ever made their life better, go to the southern part of this country, many of them has ran out of their uninhabitable north to the Christian South as refugees after voting Muslim - Muslim ticket

I don’t have problem with this man because he’s doing what they are known for .

My problem is with some Chrtistians that have refused to cast their votes rightly..

If Christians refuse to get it right, trust me Muslims will continue looking down on you all

That is not empty head. The man is right. Christians has no electoral values and they are small in numbers

Notice how they waited till voter registration was over before making their religious agenda obvious.

If you thought politics doesn't concern you and didn't register to vote, now it's too late, you have to watch from the sidelines

This is an example of what we have been saying about making reckless statements from Islamic clerics. The DS should please whisk this ignoble servant of Arabs away before he causes more damage.

Most of these old men in the north are the reason why the country is where it is today.

U have been in leadership positions in the past years...what achievement do they bring to their people if not bokoharam, bandits and herdsmen.

We know their real agenda...

It is islamisation.

But it can't happen in Igbo land that is a sure banker.

But that's how all of them reason

They are soo cocky and arrogant filled with hate

If there's 50 slot for job appointment these guys will rather take 49 instead of saying 5 or 10, and give the rest people 1 to share. They are the custodians of tribalism and nepotism.

It can happen anywhere in the world, even in Europe. It will happen if you can’t fight them at the state level and elect leaders in your states who are not afraid to strongly disagree with FG and resist them, leaders who can speak for you at the National Assembly and refuse to stand on the mandate.

Where are all the Tinubu online warlords who love waging tribal, political and religious war against Peter Obi, come oh, Una food has done shocked cheesy

I was on Tiktok one faithful day and saw a Muslim page listing Muslim Countries and their percentages,they listed Nigeria and gave her 90% Muslims,many southerners were correcting the Muslim page and then I saw Northern Muslims shutting the Southerners up telling them if Nigeria isn’t 90% Muslim,why thrn do we have Muslim President and Muslim Vice President

Southerners have failed theirselves and their kids unborn,in what Planet do you think Northern Muslims will accept a Christian President and Vice President?
Re: Sheikh Jingir Says Muslims Outnumber Christians In Nigeria; Fani-Kayode Reacts by Cutezt(m): 6:08pm On Aug 09
If Plateau State wants to have peace, this demon called Yahaya Jingir is the first person they must do away with.

He is directly and indirectly responsible for 90% of the unrest the state suffers today, and to think the fool originates from Bauchi and Kaduna States and made a name in Jos, yet is the one pushing the Islamic agenda and the unrest the state faces today.

If you want to know those who want to claim Jos by force, just look at their names; they always include the name of a place in Jos in their names, but if you investigate, their actual birth name has nothing to do with that name.

Even with every single administration from democracy till date having a Northerner as the first or second citizen of Nigeria, the region still is the most backward and poorest.

We need to split this country and let everyone go their way please.

This is why I advise against the pitobi people playing religion in politics

If we make it Christian vs Muslim war, and Muslim Muslim wins nobody will remember that alot of christians voted tinubu

It will become a measuring tool for jihad testing whereas more Christians didn't even participate in elections

Ok ooo
What of those that are neither Christian or Muslim
Re: Sheikh Jingir Says Muslims Outnumber Christians In Nigeria; Fani-Kayode Reacts by LZAA: 6:23pm On Aug 09
Well..
This is all as a result of the warning not heeded in 2023
Even Northerners who saw the future rejected this particular ticket but sophisticated folks thought they were wise
Well the results are in
Smh
