Wike better make more pronouncement on policies that will better the life of rivers state indigenes than making a brain wave statement of Rivers state been a christian state.Have you asked yourself ,when sokoto,kebbi,zamfara,Borno,kano,Gombe,Bauchi,Yobe,kwara,kogi,Nasarawa,osun,oyo,among others with over 70% muslim popuplation refers to their states as islamic states then what will the country turn to?
Religious wars is infinite.Be informed
Bros welcome back from travel. From your statement it is glaring that you have been out of the country for over 20 years. Let me brief you: Those states you mentioned adopted Islamic shariah law. In other words they are technically Islamic state. That is why there has been no serious reaction from them.
However Wike as a politician would have used more subtle phrase like: Christian dominated state.

That's an obvious truth, no one is disputing the fact that Rivers is a State heavily dominated by Christians.

Meanwhile sharia law is enforced only on those who subjects themselves to the rules of sharia law. However, you can quote any part of the law breached by use of sharia law among those who sees it as binding on them, i don't mind if you can produce a link where a northern governor openly declared a state a muslim state in the north.
are you this gullible?
Must they openly declare it a muslim state?
In a circular country like Nigeria, some states enforced sharia law, have sharia court even having a particular set of people arresting offenders, a governor in the north closed down a school because they found a copy of the Quran in the dustbin and you're looking for open declaration?.

Now Wike just made a statement with no action and you started quoting the constition.

That man must surely come from the west.

Most them claim to be Christian but are closet Muslims.

They are Christians of convenience...

Re: Again, Wike Declares Rivers Christian State by Sunsets: 12:39pm On Nov 18, 2019
A religious state is a state ruled and controlled by religious leaders who rose to leadership by virtue of their rank in the faith. Rivers is a secular state and not a religious state.
TITOPE:
The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has again declared the State as a Christian State, adding that he owes no one any apology.

The Governor spoke at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Holy Ghost Rally, which held at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Sunday.

He said, “But for God, the enemies would have taken over the state. I thank the Church for standing firm.

“They prayed for God’s will to be done and God’s will was done. But for your prayers, I won’t be here as Rivers State Governor.

“Anytime I have the opportunity, I repeat the declaration with authority and I owe nobody an apology. I am standing on solid authority. Rivers is a Christian state.”

Wike said he remained Governor due to God’s intervention.

He said God dislodged “forces of darkness” who were primed to rob him of his mandate.

He described himself as a living testimony of God’s blessing.

“Nigerians are aware of what happened on 9th March 2019. If anyone says he does not believe in God, that event of March 9 should make you believe God,” he added.

Re: Again, Wike Declares Rivers Christian State by sammhi(m): 1:00pm On Nov 18, 2019
Rivers is NOT a Christian state . Seems the Governor don't know what a Christian state is !
A Christian state is one with Bible as its constitution...where Bishops are the Governor's and no election to elect Rep or Govor council chairmen etc
Having a higher population of any religion does not make it the state religion
It would be difficult to have a Christian state or even a country as a Christian country because Jesus NEVER wanted that
Re: Again, Wike Declares Rivers Christian State by Mortiple(m): 1:05pm On Nov 18, 2019
Yes indeed
Not just Rivers,

Cross River is a Christian State
Akwa Ibom is a Christian State
Bayelsa is a Christian State
Delta is a Christian State
Imo is a Christian State
Anambra is a Christian State
Abia is a Christian State
Ebonyi is a Christian State
Enugu is a Christian State

Simply put, majority of citizens of South East and South South States aside Edo are predominantly Christians.

iI know you were still sucking when majority of the core north states declared sharia,you were still struggling with pencils when sharia was mentioned in the constitution more than any christian normencleture..you are too young to see how Muslims openly segregate christian minorities up north claiming their states are meant for muslins alone..but you choose to defend what you are too young to understand..a least ask elders for direction before you comment on this forum

Having sharia court is is a Constitutional provision S. 275. What do you mean by arresting people, have they arrested Christians before?
It's obvious your argument is based on emotion and your Christian sentiment. I'm done with you.

With the way Christians love today, Christianity is nothing to be proud of, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
Leave the Muslims out of this, don't use them for cover up.
There are many Muslims who are better than Wike and yourself.

Stop measuring diccks and beating your chest upandan "I am a Christian, I am a Christian"
Rivers is a Christian state and he's accumulating billions upandan and the so called Christians are living in poverty.

Let Wike be fooling people like you.
can you see your miserable life Saudi is syphoning billions of dollars every year from OIC and leave the same Muslims countries in jeopardy, disastrous and toppled situation they can't help if not the help of the western countries like Yemen, syria , Sudan, Somalia and Libya could have been forgotten . now Islamic that encouraged the impoverishment on the masses , I have data that I can show you. be ashamed of your religion of piss ! terrorism, slavery and gaysm is a thing of norm.

Misplaced priorities, that is not the most important issue at hand. No one in their right senses will struggle to take Rivers state or try to change the state. But when someone with nothing to offer speaks one can clearly see he’s holding on straws. Oga governor bend down and work and outshine Ameachi instead of trying to whip up religious sentiments.
As simple as that.

I can see that you are a politician and not in same affiliation with Wike... I am not using Muslims to cover up, don't be a fool, I have only just pointed out to you that whether a Christian state or a Muslim state or the holy Land of Mecca and Jerusalem DOESN'T NOT MAKE ALL THE HABBITANTS HOLY let it stick to your head ...stop deviating and bringing politics to it, all Nigerian politicians are corrupt no doubt, that RIVERS IS A CHRISTIAN, simply means ; it's 99% Christian dominated , the remaining 1% are the likes of Alhaji Asari Dokubu and others who converted from Christianity to Islam...if u have issue with Gov Wike of corruption, that's a complete issue with the topic...You claim to be a Christian and a judge , whereas the Bible says thou shall not judge, are you God huh, you may even be worse than Wike, because when Gov Wike was like you, he bragged to do more and be Godly which a normal among all Nigerian politician today...Born again christains are not politicians, they don't condemned leaders but the Bible goes against that, and the Bible says pray for your leaders...but u r here saying rubbish, go and die , u are not a christian....RIVERS IS A CHRISTIAN STATE.

I honestly pity nigerian youths just because someone shouts am muslim or christians depender you starts hailing him. Just be fair and just to your people that is what was expected from you not going to mosque or church and defraud the followers with religious sentiments.
