The head of Judiciary was Xtian
Head of legislative was Xtian
No MURIC shouted

But at least the head of the executive was a Muslim right?

When David Mark and Patricia Etteh headed both houses no MURIC shouted

But at least the president and CJN were Muslims, right? Mind you that Etteh was impeached and replaced by a Muslim

When MURIC complained about Ekiti, were your type not the ones blaming MURIC, CAN is doing the same and you are not condemning them
Yorubas on Nairaland always tell us that religion doesn't matter in the South West. It's something you guys brag about, how half of a family can be Muslims and half Christians. It can work in the South West but not Nigeria as a whole.
I never commented on the Ekiti issue cos I don't understand the religious balance there. In all the South East states, there are no top Muslim government officials cos of their very low population. Likewise, in the Core North, there aren't any Christians in top political offices except for states with large Christian population like Kaduna and a little bit of Adamawa and Bauchi.

They should respectably shut it, rather than assert spiritual authority which they sadly lack, they are demanding for political relevance, which no one will give them

Pick A Christian As Senate President Or House Of Reps Speaker', CAN Writes National Assembly




This is the reason the reason they hurriedly arranged congratulatory message to Buhari pretending to be under duress to do so. Well for their information, once upon a time
Obasanjo was the president
David Mark was the Senate president
Patricia Etteh was the speaker

And they were all Christians. No Muslim condemn it at least I know so except someone can remind me.

Now, here comes the question who is more religious tolerant?

Does it make any difference?
I know that Christians in West and East, would soon helplessly cry for help but it would be too late because they sefishly cowardly wasted the opportunity to fight back before being cornered. I'm shocked at the myopia and gullibility of Chriatians that said CAN should not ask for SP position. These Christians here have so short a memory that they've forgotten that the Bihari supported Bill to abolish CRK and force every Nigeria student to study Islamic knowledge almost passed to Law if not for Christian Dogara that managed to use his Office to fight took and nail to stop it. Coward Christian idiots here should continue to act like there is no islamization plan being vigorously pursued.

The mafia has spoken!

But seriously I've noticed something curious:

Christians infuse a great deal of their religion in politics, from governors visiting pastors to bless their certificates and showing it in the media, to GEJ always shown bowing down to pastors, to CAN demanding that kaduna christians should vote out El Rufai, to pastors insulting PMB and EL Rufai, to now demanding for christian representation in an unholy gathering of heretics...

..yet they accuse muslims of islamization.

Now they want a christian as the SP for their selfish gains.

God will punish them one after the other.
Don't just come online to disseminate lies. CAN has since visited Leah Sharibu's family and also identified with the Southern Kaduna people.

The complaint is that all the arms of government (including the 2 arms of the legislature) are going to be headed by Muslims. There's no confusion there at all.
Moreover, what can the VP really do when the President is fully on ground? We've read reports of VP being denied access into security meetings.
Even the Senate President and Speaker carry more weight than the VP except when the VP is acting president.
Abeg, leave all these VP talk.

Well, I don't blame you. You're a Muslim, so what I am saying won't make sense to you. that change the fact that he is a VP and he is the number 2 citizen in Nigeria?

Saraki (SP) - Muslim
Ekweremmadu (DSP) - Christian

Dogara (Speaker) - Christian
Lasun (Deputy Speaker) - Muslim

This is how it has been with PDP since 1999. There has never been a time that both SP and Speaker were both Christians or both Muslims, neither was there a time their deputies were of the same religion with them.
Go and make your enquiries.
Very true! I thank God for Creating you and for you living a purposeful life. The islamist have perfected their reversed-psychology of using misinformation and lies to enslave the minds of gullible coward Christians and then use them against their very own future Generation and Christianity. I also pity Yoruba Muslims that are being deceived with crumbs from Fulanis that are hell-bent on enslaving this Country disguising under religion, they shall never see you as equal. Even if they would, Yoruba is Yoruba! Why won't you love you Christian brothers more?! In 1635, great Yorubas united and took responsibility of their own time to preserve the freedom that we still enjoy today. The wise Yoruba ancestors that saved Yoruba Land from being enslaved because they conquered and prevented mammoth Fulanis Army in 1635 Oshogbo, shall forever heavily curse the current Fulani deceived Muslim Yorubas currently betraying Yoruba Land into slavery. Also, the about to be enslaved future Generation of current myopic self-deceiving coward Yoruba Christians shall continue to heavily curse them for not helping their Moslem brothers to see and prevent the coming slavery.

You'd be so naive to think that was the main reason why they removed her. Those guys from the north were never comfortable with her speakership being a woman and a Christian. David Mark was untouchable for them, so they went for her, for a balance of power between the two faith.

You must be extremely naive to think it was due to her religion because that was not the first time we are having a Christian Christian Speaker and Senate president

Joseph Wayas was Senate President when Ume Ezeoke was Speaker

All these are leaders have only one thing in common they all belong to the same religion and ethnic group which is the ethnic group of money and religion of money.
