Rivers Is Not A Christian State, Wike - Punch Editorial by Ctorch: 5:38pm On Dec 01, 2019 |
It was earlier this year that Wike first declared Rivers a Christian state, a claim he repeated recently at a church event in Port Harcourt, the state capital. Combative as usual, he said, “I repeat the declaration with authority and I owe nobody an apology; Rivers is a Christian state”. https://punchng.com/rivers-is-not-a-christian-state-wike/?fbclid=IwAR0iMLRgJEBMh3nV_wxf-AZuJU8yFPgP0CsYX9YKNFBvJcK30B1qyElZhMQ 24 Likes 4 Shares

Punch and Lagos-Ibadan express agenda. Stop trying to foist una agenda on Wike. Wike said that Rivers is a Christian state and so be it. Rivers state is not a Muslim state nor do the state practice any form of Islam... 204 Likes 9 Shares |

who cares what Rivers State is whether christian state or cultist state... why not upgrade infrastructure and leave story *Last time i checked Rivers State Seaports have being concessioned to Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar and Alhaji Tinubu's INTELS and every ship that berths in that region pays them *Many of the most juicy OML in Rivers Christian State are controlled by Alhaji with connection in NNPC towers abuja *Every Northern and Southern Islamic state gets fat allocation from crude oil from our christian brothers in Rivers while we leave them with oil spilleage and gas flaring Udom and Akpabio are building their state and opening it up for investors through mega stadium, state owned deep sea port, state owned 5 star hotels, Lagos is building a whole manmade Island on PPP arrangement for investors and rich folks, they are building mega interchange and getting mass transport right...

Editorial moronisity. First Syria is a one party state which imposes secularism on everyone and still manipulates religious sectarianism for to perpetuate its hold on power. In fact, protest against the one party state led to the bloody suppression of protesters which resorted into the war. Any pretense of placing violence of political actors at the door steps religion is ingenious and plainly stewpid. In every conflict in the world there is always a material thing being fought for it could be power, oil or money rarely is religion at the heart of the conflict. The secularists they worship in Syria has almost destroyed their country with chemical weapons used Hezbollah to fight his enemies. A faithless human being can be very dangerous when his interest is threatened. Whenever Christians like the sort you find in Punch who play around with religion, wants to criticise the political choices of his co religionist he must almost always bring Muslims into the mix to assuage their brethren pains. This only goes to show the lack of integrity of such entity and persons. 22 Likes 4 Shares |

LabDNA: cornoil: If that is the case, Zamfara and Sokoto should have not been criticized out of your cowardly ineptitude to copy them all these years. The sweet thing about wike the cultist who bunchers Rivers behaviour which you quickly endorse goes to prove that you will cheer the devil as long as he antagonize Muslims, but guess what, your bloody cultist is only interested in eating undisturbed while pressing unah mumu botton 24 Likes 5 Shares |

OP was on point until he made the same mistake many others continue to make concerning adoption of Sharia in the 12 northern states. Let us get this very clear; so far Wike is only governor to declare a particular religion (Christianity) for his state; I repeat, no other other governor has done what Wike did - including those northern governors who introduced sharia penal code in their states. There is a big difference between adopting a religious law (alongside others) targeted only at it's adherents (Sharia for Muslims only) against adopting or declaring a particular faith (Christianity) as the blanket and only religion (at the exclusion of others) for a state - as Wike did. Unfortunately, many Nigerians are being deliberately misled by those opposed to Sharia (CAN, the media etc) into believing otherwise - it is even more unfortunate that many seemingly intelligent folks have been gullible enough to have fallen for this false narrative; including the OP. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

But Zamfara and Kano can be? For those saying the Sharia governors did not declare their states Islam states, why are Christians not allowed to sell food openly during Ramadan in Kano? Why seize cartons of alcoholic drinks from the sellers? The truth is; we are far too divided along religious line...things can't be the same again! 42 Likes |

You can relocate to sokoto and find an accommodation in the caliphate premises if you are not comfortable with the fact that rivers is a Christian state. You enact sharia and impose it on non Muslims yet you feel wike is wrong to declare rivers a Christian state. Kiss the truth because rivers is a Christian state. 15 Likes |

backnbeta: Big lie, food vendors are free to sell their wares at anytime during Ramadan to anyone; whether Muslims or Christians; what you fail to realise is that there are many Muslims exempted from fasting during the said period, e.g. children below puberty, the sick, menstruating women and even travellers. It would have been disingenuous therefore to ban the sale of food, in view of such ppl; besides, nothing stops a fasting person from buying his food for later consumption at the appropriate time - your allegation is completely false and a figment from your biased imagination. On the contrary, the ban on sale and consumption of alcohol in the state was NOT enacted UNDER SHARIA law but under conventional law through the State House of Assembly. This lie is being told by Christians in Nigeria opposed to Sharia and promoted through an obviously biased media; besides, the ban cannot in any way prevent Christians from practising their religion; just as it did not in America when that country also did same in its prohibition years. 8 Likes |

NaMeAboki:Mr u lie. Sharia law in Muslim states target everybody within that state. Wike is far better than all those Muslim sharia state people. If not why in this world would northern states who collect allocations from VAT from Alcohol be destroying business of people who sell alcohol and be arresting non Muslims in possession of alcohol, this una half truths no work. If u want to practice sharia practice it all in, reject all VAT's from alcohol or anything related to it. No northerner from a state that practices sharia has the moral right to criticize wike.
