The reality remains that Nigerians hav been torn apart along ethnicity and religious bigotry,but we must find a common ground to uproot issues plaguing this nation (unchecked massive embezzlement and massive corruption). We need our monies back pls to build this nation. Restitution should be the focus. Just get it right. All these religion,ethnicity,sectional interest,etc are all diversionary.

WE NEED RESTITUTION, EFCC RIBABU REPORTED $380BILLION LOOTED FR OUR TREASURY SINCE INDEPENDA,AND U GUYS ARE BUSY BULLING YASELVES OVER PERSONAL MATTER(RELIGION).

IF U SHARE $380MILLION TO 160MILLION NIGERIANS,ME I NEED $5MILLION'FR IT ONLY. GUYS FOCUS OH!!

Dammyllionaire:
See your life in the open publicly? Fashola wife is a complete christain, Tinubu wife who ia presently a senator is a complete christain, Former APC National chairman Chief Bisi Akande wife and children are complete christain, Oyo state governor wife is a complete christain. This is the better truth that you guys in the ss and se dont know about the Yoruba. If APC can present GMB/BRF, just tell your GEJ to forget 2015 because it will be a easy ride for APC.

Do you also know that B.R Fashola government of lagos state has ban the wearing of ijab to public school by the Muslim students? You need to learn more.

eightsin:
What of Fashola/buhari ticket? Is there anything wrong with that? Abegi

DailyNews:
ok, I agree with your proposition of: let's change govt every 4yrs, but pls, biko, ejoor, emabinu, doo, make we just allow Goodluck finish his 2nd tenure and see...subsequent governments must be 4yrs alone u hear?

But I repeat: Fashola is over-hyped!! He isn't as good as he is being painted!!

Most of the Nigerians I can vote wholeheartedly as president (late Prof. Chinua Achebe, late Fela O., late Col. Odimegwu Ojukwu, Late Muritala- according to my dad o, Late Maj. Okar, etc) of Nigeria are dead...the few remaining ones are:

1. Prof. Pat Utomi
2. Wole Soyinka
3. Arch. Dr Alex Ekwueme
4. Myself or my able mother

As for Fashola and co, they have already lost!!!

eliment:
a person of fashola will not encourage sharia no matter what, he is too enlightened to do that

BekeeBuAgbara:
Let those confused ''i'm a Christian, my father is a muslim'' talking nonsense about South East religious intolerance answer the bolded line.

oluamid:
Lol. Its obvious that you are trying too hard.
@post, The comments I've seen so far on this thread serve as an instant reminder of why I chose not to be a slave to religion.
Is this the love Christ preached? Is there anywhere it is written in the bible that only pastors should be presidents of countries? It suddenly seem the Christians are more bigoted than Muslims.
What most of you are doing is to give the neutrals like me more reason not to vote GEJ because it seem the only reason his supporters have for voting him is because he's a christian, though we all know that the country has been worse off under his leadership.
You guys should stop with all the bigotry, its counter-productive.

ugotuf:
VP's in Nigeria are just figure heads, the Presidents call all the shots and the vp's look on in silence if they love their jobs.

LivingSoul34:
Even if the Sultan of Sokoto and Sanusi (the Emir of Kano) become President and Vice President of Nigeria respectively they cannot islamize Nigeria, yet for me Nigeria's problem is not just about who becomes the president as we are trying to present it. Many of us don't care about what is happening in our states, senatorial districts, LGA etc but we keep on shouting about the central govt as if the people in the other tiers of government are not there to do for the people at the local and state levels what we are demanding from the president at the Centre. I feel Nigerians should begin to give serious attentions to who becomes governor, Senator, LG Chairman etc in their States, Senatorial districts, LGA etc. Everybody is talking about who becomes President as if everything starts and ends with the president. Who told you that the dividents of democracy you looking from can not come from your state governor if the guy is set to work and not to loot. There are governors that didn't do anything tangible in their states for eight years and are now warming up for senate but nobody is talking about them. All we talk about is "Muslim/muslim ticket", "GEJ till 2019", "power must return to the north", "South-south must finish their 8 years", "Sai Buhari" etc as if whoever becomes President in 2015 will magically transform Nigeria down to our respective communities even if our governors, Senators, Rep members etc refuse play the roles.

BetaThings:
Obasanjo fought in 1999 and 2003 for his ticket, Yaradua did in 2007, Jonathan did in 2011
How come Jonathan is not being challenged now
Is he the best the SS can produce?

Omimah:
Would you say you've not heard Ndigbo call anybody that joins APC an Islamist, including Rochas Okorocha? Would you say you didn't notice how a traditional ruler of Islamic faith in Imo State was treated on this forum by Ndigbo? Would you say you didn't notice how Ndigbo on this forum reacted when they learnt of an Islamic family in Ebonyi State that was planning to establish an Islamic university in the state?

iconize:
Oh, I never knew all young vibrant Nigerian politicians are
drunks.
Thanks for the insightful comment.


You're an odious m_oron!

Moronic nation, Moronic peeps!

swezenberg:
In Buhari's case it is his Vice that acts just like Tunde Idiagbon did during his tenure in office. He believes in Tides and FasHola will just be another brain for him. This, I believe is his permutation but let him allow Fashola and Rochas and relax as elder stateman. This will earn him more respect.

Sunnybobo3:
Have you ever sat down to ponder on why MKO/Kingibe Muslim/Muslim ticket won in 1993 but did not rule?

Our God is a consuming fire bro.

ISpiksDaTroof:
Your highest currency when Buhari was President was the N20 note, and that was even scarce as hell to see because your money had value back then. My question is how this super-crook named Buhari managed to fit N20billion naira in just 28 suitcases? Or do you want us to give you a little time to edit your post so you can change it to "28 40-Foot Containers" so your lies will be more believable?

All your 4 points are unfounded, thereby, calling your credibility---and overall sanity--- into serious question.

Goon

religious bigotry cannot work in the southwest. PDP tried it in Osun but they failed woefully. For your info there are more churches in the southwest than they are anywhere else in Nigeria so all these your talk of sharia/islamisation is pure nonsense to us

ovadoze:
Please define religious intolerance, did wee not vote Abiola/Kingibe ticket? Have you ever heard of any religious crisis in the South east. The fact is that so much has happened to South Easterners in recent years in d name of religion that we can't afford to just fold our hands, wether we like it or not, religion is a serious political tool in dis country and every party must recognise that, in as much as I don't want us to mix religion and politics yet I can't just wish it away because it is deep rooted in this country. The most religious intolerant region in this country is the North. At every slight provocation they kill and maim our people yet you folks want to force down a muslim/muslim ticket down our throat, my brother if u re in my shoes you won't accept it. Lets call a spade a spade.

firetrap:
I hate the fact that religion plays a dominant role in our polity but it is something that in Nigeria cannot be separated from state affairs because the state is sometimes used as an Avenue to promote certain religious beliefs as superior to others.

Northern Muslims in this country see themselves first as Muslims before Nigerians. Nigerian Christians have been forced to sacrifice a lot for the progress of this country but the same cannot be said for the northern Muslims. in our Constitution Nigeria is a circular state but a part of the country practices sharia law to the detriment of the "supposed" christian minority. Nigeria is said to be a circular state yet it is a member of the organization of Islamic cooperation.

I had to go and do a search for a story in which a past minister for foreign affairs of northern extraction during a meeting of the OIC referred to Nigeria as Muslim nation with the largest Christian population. here's the link www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/minister-nurudeens-islamic-republic-of-nigeria/

As a Christian I'm worried that there is a hidden ploy to Islamize this country and my fears are made more potent by the rise of a known religious extremist in the person of Buhari. The current administration may not be the best we've had but I would take pdp any day to a party run by the likes of the toad-eyed thief tinubu. if not for the fact that the apc has been sabotaging the effort of the present administration we would have had more progress than is presently obtainable.

I urge people vote wisely, i won't tell you to vote for Jonathan but I will shout at the top of my voice Don't vote for Buhari cos he's a religious bigot and don't vote for atiku because he is a C.I.A proxy and as soon as he gets into power will sell us out to America.

buchostags:
ur type wont knw whn they ve been sold off

Orunto:
Buhari/Fashola(North/Yoruba) is good but not democratic for Nigeria now. Jonathan/Buhari is better. Let Buhari join PDP on the ground that he may be allowed to serve Turelage as VP till 2019; after that, he may return to APC to contest with Fashola or Okorocha for the Presidency against a new standard bearer of PDP. For now, GEJ/whoever is destined to rule till 2019. The Lord says so! No permutation can wish this off. GMB is still a DICTATOR IN HUMAN SPIRIT. NIGERIA SHOULD GET THIS DOMINATING SPIRIT OUT OF HIM before he might be allowed to rule Nigeria. My mouth is very clean. If Buhari is trained, Nigerian styled, for 2019, bokoharam and its sponsors will be controlled for ever.

eunisam:
My opinion: voting buhari and fashola will amount to automatic islamization of Nigeria which may bring about political and religious unrest. My advice to fashola is failure is contagious,buhari is conceivably a serial loser. Dont start with him!!!

toludadon:
there are so much hues and cries about the volatility of all muslim ticket in Nigeria, as a yoruba xtian, i am bold to say that majority of my fellow yoruba xtians don't even know Fashola is a muslim. they see him as performance personified hence his being an achiever and intellectual is more pronounced than his religious inclination. the result of my findings and interactions is that SW is a wrong place to play politics of religion bcuz almost all families are evenly distributed along religious lines , hence they see you first as a yoruba man before your religion.
hence a Buhari/Fashola in the SW is seeing as North/Yoruba ticket and it will surely fly.

Mogidi:
@OP
Am also a Christian but from the SS.(Edo state)
Christians in the SW may have been trampled upon but Christians in the North Central SS/SE have not been as subjugated like the ones in the SW.
A Buhari/Fashola is a hint the SW and the core North wants full sharia.

Try Christian/Christian and watch bombs rain down. Mtcheew!!!

SW Christians may have surrendered to the superior might of SW Muslims by having only moslem governors, the rest of us haven't capitulated.
We will not be part of a plot to end Christendom in Nigeria.

ratiken:
And how on earth am I supposed to have an intelligent discussion with a bigot that already stated that nigeria is worse off under GEJ.

Let me ask.... By whose standard is it worse off?, yours?, APCs?
By IMF and World Banks, we are better off, by every available economic indices.... We are progressing. My roads are better, my power supply is better, agriculture is better, infrastructures are better, railways are better, our elections are free and fair, we have battled ebola to a stand still, we are battling bokoharam despite the distractions and oppositions, I am hopeful about the FG housing loan I applied for which has been approved (this was advertized nationwide), opposition now has a voice, there is freedom of information that allowed us abuse the presidency, farmers including my friends make humongous amounts of money from product exports....

So I ask you again, by whose standard are thing worse? COS BY MY STANDARD, this is the best it has gotten for us so far and as such GEJ should continue for another 10yrs until we find ourselves some common sense. Our 50yrs mess cannot be cleaned in 4yrs and its stupid to expect immediate return on economic strides that this govt have achieved. However, enterprising minds are already benefiting from the fertile economic terrain.

So my good friend, with all the politeness I can muster......just SHUT UP
