PRESS RELEASE

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) observes that today’s holiday fully consolidated the two-day Christmas holiday and enabled Nigerian Christians to kick off the 2018 Christo-Western Gregorian calendar

However, conscious Nigerian Muslims, particularly stakeholders in the welfare of Muslims as well as the growth and development of Islam in Nigeria, approached today’s holiday with mixed feelings. First and foremost, we express happiness for our Christian neighbours who were able to spend the day giving full practice, expression and manifestation of their faith. On the other hand, we experienced a feeling of despair, isolation and marginalization. Our feeling of marginalization arises from the reality of the Nigerian situation which has conditioned Muslims in the country for religious segregation and subjected them to spiritual apartheid.

Here we are today, enjoying January 1st holiday which was declared by the Federal Government (FG) of Nigeria in recognition of the Christo-Western Gregorian calendar. But the same FG which recognizes this Christian calendar is yet to declare 1st Muharram a public holiday in recognition of the Islamic calendar despite several petitions and appeals to it dating back to the 60s. Surprisingly, some people still complain that Nigeria is Islamised!

Director,
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)

Do MURIC even know what is at stake on Earth now?

What Month of Muharram is the body referring to?

Even from it meaning having Harram as suffix, suggest illegality which is why the Old ISLAMIC WAY OF LIFE WAS AGAINST CELEBRATING JANUARY 1ST Break and Holidays as a general celebration of ushering in a New Year commencement.

Above all though, The New Islamic face shall involved a BRAND NEW QURAN TO BE DOCUMENTED IN ENGLISH TEXT AS AGAINST ARABIC SIMPLY BECAUSE ENGLISH IS NIGERIA'S OFFICIAL NATIONAL LINGUAL FRANCA AS THAT WAS WHY OURSELF (GOD) AND PROPHET TB JOSHUA HAVE NOT BEEN COMMUNICATING SPIRITUAL MATTERS IN OUR LOCAL DIALECT OF YORUBA IN NIGERIA.

AND THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR HAS BEEN ADOPTED FOR A UNIFORM WORLD SUCH THAT

1. RAMADAN FASTING SHALL HENCEFORTH HOLD BETWEEN

JULY 1ST TO 30TH WITH the last day of the month as EIDEL FITR DAY - JULY 31st.

2. HAJJ/PILGRIMAGE as the 5th article of faith shall hold henceforth between NOVEMBER 1ST TO 29TH with NOVEMBER 30 being the EIDEL KABIR Day.

The CHRISTIAN PILGRIMAGE IS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW SUIT IMMEDIATELY FROM THE FOLLOWING DAY OF DECEMBER 1ST

3. The JANUARY 1ST has officially become a General Celebration Day for all and sundry including MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS ALIKE ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

4. AS A REJOINDER, THE FEBRUARY 14TH DAY OF VALENTINE THAT HAS BEEN IMORALISED shall ceased to be a VALENTINE'S DAY but SHALL BECOME THE ASH DAY STUFF FOR THE CHRISTIAN FAITHFULS AS NIGERIANS AND INDEED NIGERIA MUST SHOW AND LEAD THE WORLD IN HOLINESS AND PURITY BOTH AT HEART AND IN OUR PHYSICAL DISPOSITION.

5. The 4 above is included here because the Bible too is to be re-documented as well.

SO MURIC, FOR THE BODY TO STILL MAINTAIN RELEVANCE, SHOULD HENCEFORTH TAKE NOTE OF THE ABOVE EXPLANATION ACCORDINGLY.

PROPHET TB JOSHUA

LOVELY UNITARY GOD

WHAT NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS DEFINE AS TOLERANCE
Has anyone paid attention to the definition of 'tolerance' by Nigerian Christians?
.
If you don't use Hijab, you are tolerant, if you don't keep beard, you are tolerant, if you join them in Christmas then you are tolerant.
.
In a nut shell, stop practicing Islam and start practicing Christianity, then you are tolerant.
.
Start shaking hands with opposite gender indiscriminately, then you shall be celebrated as 'tolerant' start wearing short short scarf instead of full Hijab, then you are tolerant!
.
.
The more you abandon all Islamic Injunctions, the more you are tolerant.
.
Note, if Nigerian Christians start calling you tolerant, please start crying because they are celebrating your gradual exit from Islam.
.
In all honesty and sincerity I acknowledge the REAL tolerant Christians who see me as a Human being and respect my identity as a Muslim.
.
However, may all Christians who boil in rage whenever they see me in Hijab be consumed by that rage of theirs.
.
May all intolerant oppressors in the name of Christians who get instant headache whenever I refuse to shake the hands of opposite gender be consumed by the consequences of their novel intolerance.
.
Bunch of outstanding hypocrites. I don't have headache when they are on their way to Church on Sunday, yet they burn in anger whenever they see me on my way to Masjid on Friday.
.
The federal government Christianize Nigeria by declaring two days in a week as PUBLIC HOLIDAY, because they have got to go to Church on Sunday and the Saturday Adventist have got to go to Church on Saturday, yet to spare me two hours to attend Mosque on Friday becomes major problems for these celebrated bigots.
.
Yet they talk about tolerance, if I don't have problems with the obvious Christianization of Nigeria by declaring the days of worship of Christians as PUBLIC HOLIDAY, and they literarily get mad because I left the class to pray on Friday who is the tolerant?
.
Lecturers will come to class to preach Jesus, yet no Muslim lecturer will dare to. Why do I have to be tensed up Everytime because of the fear of molestation by people whose intolerance are turning them to mad people. Can you imagine a lecturer literarily shaking while asking my friend to remove her niqab.He was shaking while roaring like a mad man. I stood up to him and told him that he could ask the female security personnel to confirm her Identity, yet he will have none of that. A lecturer had once used almost ten minutes in class to VENT because a well dressed Muslim's trouser is not been dragged on the floor. Yet one of the 'Jazz' boys in class whose trouser was also jumping is not been addressed. I have realized that it is our religion as Muslims that actually enrage them, not really our identity.
.
I will try to encourage these oppressors to keep it up and they should try to double up the victimization they are good at, the burden of your boiling heart is on you.
.
Imagine, shameless people that are not even ashamed of the victimization of Hijab sisters, they are not ashamed of their intolerance, I have never seen unrepentant HATE CRIMINALS like some Nigerian Christians. They are even bold enough to defend their gross intolerance.
.
Imagine arguments such as "But Buhari's daughter removed her hijab during her call to bar ceremony" The same Buhari they have earlier called TERRORIST is now their sweetheart because he has given up part of Islam. Is Buhari now equivalent to Islam?
.
Finally, O ye Muslims that need acceptance from Christians before you will be able to live, just know that, "The more you leave Islam, the more they celebrate you"
.
Why do our sisters have to cry and have that far distant looks on their faces whenever we ask them about the day they are called to bar, why should they have to deal with the trauma of being violated. Hijab is just like shirt or blouse to us, IT IS PART OF CLOTHES! it is not a uniform, how violated will you feel if you are asked to remove your blous e or top for just a 'ceremony', won't you feel violated? Yet these hypocrites makes the barbarism of removing the Hijab during call to bar ceremony 'no big deal' SHAME ON YOU BIGOTS, SHAME!
.
I was still in Junior Secondary school when I met an Hijabite who was violated during 'the call to bar' the distant look of trauma on her face while describing that day is stuck in my memory till date.
.
She was narrating her experience after so many years of the incidence yet she is still traumatized.
.
I see the way you dress also gross, I mean I can see your ENTIRE shape outside, it is just as if the purpose of the clothe you are wearing is to serve as a paint over your skin. The whole of your body is seen only that the colour is partially cancelled by a piece of painting you call clothe, I for once never agree with your choice of clothing yet I WILL NEVER RAISE MY EYEBROWS AT YOU NOT TO TALK OF MY VOICE.
.
We wear a clothe that you do not agree with, but unfortunately your tolerance is DEAD, it is either you are yanking our nikab off in a physical aggression that has consumed you, which equals terrorism, or you are busy shouting on us like a mad dog has just bitten you, yet you will be busy defending your excessive madness SHAMELESSLY.
.
What kind of things are you exactly? You terrorize us, yet you call us terrorist, you master of intolerance call us intolerant, Kai. Your case is complicated.
.
In conclusion, if you are a Muslim and Christians in Nigeria are calling you tolerant, run back to Islam because you can ONLY be tolerant when you leave Islam in their own dictionary.
.
Let me educate you bigots on tolerance, I know you will not use the knowledge but I will still teach you. When you do not agree with what a group of people are doing yet you are in peace with it, that is TOLERANCE. The moment you find yourself getting discomforted the moment I start fasting in Ramadan, then you are intorant.
.
Has anyone noticed that the Christians have problems with EVERYTHING we do? If we pray they complain, if we fast they complain, if we eat they complain, if we dress they complain. They water down Islam so much that the hatred rooted in their heart against Muslim. I swear Na complaint go finish you. I WON'T CHANGE TO PLEASE YOU. Woe on any Muslim that leaves Islam to please you.
PS. Nobody should tell me I am too harsh, I think what I term as "diplomacy" is now cowardice, I am past the age where I will cry in a corner whenever derogatory words are thrown at me, nowadays I stand up for myself.
.
I will never opress ANYBODY hence I will not allow anybody to opress me.

This demand is a challenge for everyone to demand for resource control.Also the Seventh Day Adventist is demanding for Saturday as a day of worship.Therefore wave and other relevant bodies should desist from scheduling exams on Saturdays. We must adhere to all this demand including that of muric.

Thank you Sis.

Nigeria was entrenched to operate a secular state. This was to enable all parts and faith in Nigeria benefit equally in the sociopolitical activities in the country.

This MURIC group has positioned itself to question and disagree with the secularism which Nigeria operates. They are intentioned to reverse and change the status quo in favour of their creed.

Gregorian Calender is a secular calendar, while Islamic calendar is not. Secularism accommodates all interests while Islamic tenets do not accommodate the interest of non-muslims.

If MURIC continues on the part they are threading currently, they will ignite an unwanted situation.

You are very wrong. We still have Christians who like good Muslims for the goodness. Do not use your school experience to conclude on muslims versus Christians relationship in Nigeria.

Ironically, you are occupied by hatred that emanates from your school experience and it is evident all over your post here.

BE INFORMED: THERE ARE CHRISTIANS WHO HELP THEIR MUSLIM FRIENDS TO PRAY, AS WELL PRACTICE ISLAM BETTER.

YOUR SPEECH DEPICTS THE LEVEL OF YOUR INTERACTION YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.

YOUR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT/EXPERIENCE HAS BECLOUDED YOUR SENSE OF REASONING. YOU MAY NEED TO BE COUNSELED ON YOUR STUDENT EXPERIENCE/TRAUMA SO YOU MAY LIVE A NORMAL LIFE, ELSE, YOU KEEP SEEING THINGS FROM THIS MYOPIC POINT OF REASONING AS YOU'VE DEMONSTRATED ABOVE.

.
Note, if Nigerian Christians start calling you tolerant, please start crying because they are celebrating your gradual exit from Islam.
.
In all honesty and sincerity I acknowledge the REAL tolerant Christians who see me as a Human being and respect my identity as a Muslim.
.
However, may all Christians who boil in rage whenever they see me in Hijab be consumed by that rage of theirs.
.
May all intolerant oppressors in the name of Christians who get instant headache whenever I refuse to shake the hands of opposite gender be consumed by the consequences of their novel intolerance.
.
Bunch of outstanding hypocrites. I don't have headache when they are on their way to Church on Sunday, yet they burn in anger whenever they see me on my way to Masjid on Friday.
.
The federal government Christianize Nigeria by declaring two days in a week as PUBLIC HOLIDAY, because they have got to go to Church on Sunday and the Saturday Adventist have got to go to Church on Saturday, yet to spare me two hours to attend Mosque on Friday becomes major problems for these celebrated bigots.
.
Yet they talk about tolerance, if I don't have problems with the obvious Christianization of Nigeria by declaring the days of worship of Christians as PUBLIC HOLIDAY, and they literarily get mad because I left the class to pray on Friday who is the tolerant?
.
Lecturers will come to class to preach Jesus, yet no Muslim lecturer will dare to. Why do I have to be tensed up Everytime because of the fear of molestation by people whose intolerance are turning them to mad people. Can you imagine a lecturer literarily shaking while asking my friend to remove her niqab.He was shaking while roaring like a mad man. I stood up to him and told him that he could ask the female security personnel to confirm her Identity, yet he will have none of that. A lecturer had once used almost ten minutes in class to VENT because a well dressed Muslim's trouser is not been dragged on the floor. Yet one of the 'Jazz' boys in class whose trouser was also jumping is not been addressed. I have realized that it is our religion as Muslims that actually enrage them, not really our identity.
.
I will try to encourage these oppressors to keep it up and they should try to double up the victimization they are good at, the burden of your boiling heart is on you.
.
Imagine, shameless people that are not even ashamed of the victimization of Hijab sisters, they are not ashamed of their intolerance, I have never seen unrepentant HATE CRIMINALS like some Nigerian Christians. They are even bold enough to defend their gross intolerance.
.
Imagine arguments such as "But Buhari's daughter removed her hijab during her call to bar ceremony" The same Buhari they have earlier called TERRORIST is now their sweetheart because he has given up part of Islam. Is Buhari now equivalent to Islam?
.
Finally, O ye Muslims that need acceptance from Christians before you will be able to live, just know that, "The more you leave Islam, the more they celebrate you"
.
Why do our sisters have to cry and have that far distant looks on their faces whenever we ask them about the day they are called to bar, why should they have to deal with the trauma of being violated. Hijab is just like shirt or blouse to us, IT IS PART OF CLOTHES! it is not a uniform, how violated will you feel if you are asked to remove your blous e or top for just a 'ceremony', won't you feel violated? Yet these hypocrites makes the barbarism of removing the Hijab during call to bar ceremony 'no big deal' SHAME ON YOU BIGOTS, SHAME!
.
I was still in Junior Secondary school when I met an Hijabite who was violated during 'the call to bar' the distant look of trauma on her face while describing that day is stuck in my memory till date.
.
She was narrating her experience after so many years of the incidence yet she is still traumatized.
.
I see the way you dress also gross, I mean I can see your ENTIRE shape outside, it is just as if the purpose of the clothe you are wearing is to serve as a paint over your skin. The whole of your body is seen only that the colour is partially cancelled by a piece of painting you call clothe, I for once never agree with your choice of clothing yet I WILL NEVER RAISE MY EYEBROWS AT YOU NOT TO TALK OF MY VOICE.
.
We wear a clothe that you do not agree with, but unfortunately your tolerance is DEAD, it is either you are yanking our nikab off in a physical aggression that has consumed you, which equals terrorism, or you are busy shouting on us like a mad dog has just bitten you, yet you will be busy defending your excessive madness SHAMELESSLY.
.
What kind of things are you exactly? You terrorize us, yet you call us terrorist, you master of intolerance call us intolerant, Kai. Your case is complicated.
.
In conclusion, if you are a Muslim and Christians in Nigeria are calling you tolerant, run back to Islam because you can ONLY be tolerant when you leave Islam in their own dictionary.
.
Let me educate you bigots on tolerance, I know you will not use the knowledge but I will still teach you. When you do not agree with what a group of people are doing yet you are in peace with it, that is TOLERANCE. The moment you find yourself getting discomforted the moment I start fasting in Ramadan, then you are intorant.
.
Has anyone noticed that the Christians have problems with EVERYTHING we do? If we pray they complain, if we fast they complain, if we eat they complain, if we dress they complain. They water down Islam so much that the hatred rooted in their heart against Muslim. I swear Na complaint go finish you. I WON'T CHANGE TO PLEASE YOU. Woe on any Muslim that leaves Islam to please you.
PS. Nobody should tell me I am too harsh, I think what I term as "diplomacy" is now cowardice, I am past the age where I will cry in a corner whenever derogatory words are thrown at me, nowadays I stand up for myself.
.
I will never opress ANYBODY hence I will not allow anybody to opress me.

No you are not too harsh and not really surprised,normal for any brainwashed religious man to make this comment,just like the professor despite his education.

This should not be at the front top page not to imagine staying longer.. For being at the top page for this long show Nairaland support for MURIc.. If any group or people want change reform or simply restructuring is the way to go.. The change would allow state to have freedom of what they feel it right for them provided you not step on our people's right... That is the new Nigeria.

Instead, the current killing by herdsmen should occupy that top page. Moreover, If any group or people want change reform or simply restructuring is the way to go..

Give MURIC their own country.

@kayodekb I totally agree with your post. We Nigerian Christians are actually quite intolerant of Muslims. Especially in the south where they are a minority.

In a secondary school I know of, a J.S 1 Muslim boy who brings his mat to school to pray was mocked and hounded by children and staff alike. By second term he had stopped. Why should a little boy who chooses to make use of his break time to practice his religious beliefs be made to feel bad?

This rabid hate and disdain for anything different from us is not the way of Christ.

I assume you are Christian from your post.

It is indeed good and just that you accept the rights of people of other faiths and their right to practice their faith in peace.

But I urge you to, as they say, 'proceed with extreme caution'. Avoid hasty generalizations such as those you made in your post. You can't say that Nigerian Christians (as a whole) are intolerant of muslims.

At least you can have a civil discussion here about the error of the students and the schoolteachers you mentioned in your post. These students and teachers can be taught that things can and should be done differently. Unfortunately there are people in this same country who do their 'teaching' with arson, bullets, machetes, daggers, swords and arrows. In this same country we call ours, religious clerics in 2002 pronounced a death sentence on a fellow Nigerian for blasphemy. Up until now she has yet to return home from exile.

Nigeria is deep. Things are never what they seem. Don't forget that.

THAT'S JUST THE PLAIN FACT MY SISTER BUT SOME PEOPLE MISS IT BY GETTING OFF THE POINT ENTIRELY

I can't believe someone can be this shallow in reasoning. I'm a Muslim but sometimes the way my fellow Muslim reason makes me wonder if there's anything called school in the north. I'm just tired of you people

WHAT NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS DEFINE AS TOLERANCE
Has anyone paid attention to the definition of 'tolerance' by Nigerian Christians?
.
If you don't use Hijab, you are tolerant, if you don't keep beard, you are tolerant, if you join them in Christmas then you are tolerant.
.
In a nut shell, stop practicing Islam and start practicing Christianity, then you are tolerant.
.
Start shaking hands with opposite gender indiscriminately, then you shall be celebrated as 'tolerant' start wearing short short scarf instead of full Hijab, then you are tolerant!
.
.
The more you abandon all Islamic Injunctions, the more you are tolerant.
.
Note, if Nigerian Christians start calling you tolerant, please start crying because they are celebrating your gradual exit from Islam.
