In all our religious inclinations in Nigeria, the ironic thing is our latent wickedness so that one would wonder isn't the religion supposed to make us good? It seems to me we're seriously fighting over nothing!

BotherMleeper:


But this is also part of the problem.

When CAN, and JNI, start meddling in politics and giving it a religious coloration, it makes matters worse.

Such bodies should be more concerned with their belief systems and not with political systems.

We can all see how GEJ almost bastardized the church by hobnobbing with pastors, giving them millions of dollars, using their aircraft to procure weapons, etc.

We also saw it recently when Imam Gumi and some choice assortment of pastors and clerics were at Ota farm to broker peace between Atiku and OBJ. Such optics dont help any argument beside interloping and meddling.

To be honest with you, I dont like government dabbling in religion...

.....but....


...I'd wish we can tone it down a bit. We're the loudest people when it comes to religion. I dont like us blaring everything on loudspeakers, other people deserve their peace.

If you want to be preached at, meet with the preacher in your temple and do it within the ambiance. Every muslim should know when it's time for prayers if you do it 5 times a day, why do I need some loudspeaker blaring at 5am when I can set my own personal alarm?

Why must we shout our beliefs all over rooftops and take over the airwaves?

You are wrong here chuches i think are the one guilty of this .


But all in all , tolerance is the key !

SillyMods:

And Kaduna, with more population of Muslims than that of Christians, should not be able to call to prayer over the loudspeaker because it is multicultural environment in your own estimation? And it is ok for Christians to blare away in places they're only about 20% of the population?

You try!

Stop trying to force words down my mouth

I never said it was ok.

I'm blaming both sides.

Hummm may God bless the wise man behind this moniker, with about 3 comments from this handle, one must accept the fact that you are blessed with wisdom.


On to that issue, we are all guity of this hatred and this hatred has gennerated to all areas in this generation.


Go to market places even in public vehicles, unnecesary transfer of aggression is all you ll see.

When i was in primary school, we used to drink water in any house when coming back in the afternoon but now am sure no one can try such .

I entered public vehicle last time , from the back i was trying to streched my hand to pay driver but cant reach him and sadly no one can help among theother passengers.

A man beside me told me that its now trending style because most people believe that the moment they touch my money , their destiny ll suffers it.

Its all act of hatred, we insults ourselves on SMs on a mere issues now the hatred is growing between tribes, politics , places of work , market place and even in churches and mosques.


We can only get over this by individually check ourselves and picture it out where we have gotten it wrong because our unity i believe its non negotiable.

Thank you

It starts from me and you looking inwardly and asking ourselves the profit of hatred. What did the wise Master Yoda say? "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to HATE, hate leads to suffering..."

No one feels better for hating someone, and no one should be encouraged to.

Yes I don't trust christians because I dont expect them to wish well for me. But I can very well live my life focused on things that impact me meaningfully and positively without wasting away consumed by hate. Hating someone wont mean I'll make it into heaven; respecting their rights as long as they dont impede my rights makes heaven that much closer.

If the youth should learn anything, it's that they're being used to perpetuate the system of corruption that benefits only those old geezers.

They weaponize our hate into something potent and destructive.....for the gain of someone in gilded mansions. Do we destroy those mansions in our fits of rage? No we destroy the essence of society, we destroy our humanity.

why can't the ban be both sides?

Like I said, yes churches did preach to their people to vote for certain interest groups.

So?

Did we do any less?

As much as I dont like religion mixed into politics, I am not offended if people think conforming a certain way would better their interests. Isnt that what politics is all about?

In the US the evangelical body tends to the Right because conservatism fits their worldview. Should the Left be offended and damn them?

As long as you dont hound me for my beliefs, you're free to give your votes to whomever you please as well I have that right too.

That being said, my problem with the church is how they demonize and consecrate Islam as something abhorrently evil, something to be feared. That offends me deeply. They joyfully propagandize it on podiums on TV and radio....and they gloat about being untouchable, about how Nigeria will"go up in flames" if they're arrested.

That's one aspect of the truth. But truth is universal. We too have imams preaching hate, and we like to tell ourselves it's in reaction to the stance of the church. Now my mission is not to cast faults; my aim is to address fault lines and hope we all overcome this petty squabble of whose religion is right.

To me, Islam is the true religion, to others theirs is.

Big deal.
