UAE is strictly a religious country but they don't put in head like gala.. I have never read or heard any terrorists attacks there.

Here we go, Wike the wicked claiming a state that tops the highest numbers of cultist killings in Nigeria..Are those cultists Muslims from Zamfara state?

It more seems Religion is binding blinding us in Nigeria

How much have you said in response to the outright islamisation of the FCT and the core northern states?

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...



What about those who are not xtian? Are you saying that those ones do not belong in Rivers State?

I came across where the OP said that state religion is forbidden according to 1999 constitution. but I wonder why the Sokoto, Zamfara and other North Western States are exempted from the Constitution through their sharia practice and prohibition of Christianity in their state.

No state in the north prohibits christianity.. thats falsehood as many northerners are christians even in sokoto we even have fulani's as catholic priest...

and the issue of sharia is the same as having custumary law or state laws.. as far as the state legislature agreed and the governor signs prohibition of alchohol, introduction of moral codes etc then it is their state law and it is allowed

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.
Brilliant!

If some states claim to be Muslim state by law or by implication of majority and we have come to accept it that way. should we not accept Wike's proclamation based on Christain majoirty in the state? Since we choose to bring religious law (Sharia law) into our jurisprudence, then nobody should be offended when other religions or persons begin to make demands or lay claims to some religious right. If we claim to be a secular nation by words and practice, then the Muslim state and Wike are wrong but if not, both are right. As is stands now we are not a unit of secular nation by both words and practice.

It's a silent truth that all Southern states are indeed Christians states. The Northerners can't dominate any Southern states. So it's nothing to announce. Just focus on making the state better

[s]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 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... Yet what this fat dude is concerned about is what middleeastern God he serves in his state

Rubbish. When Rivers started having stadiums and hotels Akwa Ibom was still a village, only states that never had a stadium or a meaningful hotel will make noise with those. Rivers has gone beyond that. Lagos is benefiting from FG more than any other state.

If you have nothing to write just read and pass instead of spewing ignorance.

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


I don't understand some of you Muslims, if not for the very few ones I have met , I would have concluded .... SO U MEAN , THERE IS NO CULTISTs IN SOKOTO, KANO , LAGOS ...Rivers is the only states with cultists ??, After the election name just one incident of cultists fracas , I will name more than three in Kano, Lagos(more than 10 cases) , Sokoto,...I pray God change these cultists in the nation which is as a results of poverty if trace deeply and Govt involvement... Rivers is a Christian state and those trying to bring in Islam via politics will not succeed, you are free to take the Good word of Islam to Rivers people in a peaceful manner , if they find faith in it so be it , they can embrace Islam, but Not with Threat or political favour or war, Nigeria belongs all... Wike knows what he is saying, if not the south west Muslims
,I don't think we will be taking about this by now ...In christianity, nobody FORCE U TO PRACTISE OR REMAIN IN THE FAITH or impose any law on u , it's a private issue...but we know what's happening in Kano(3%, Christians) ,Gombe( 40%) Bauchi(25%) , Kebbi(10%) Adamawa 45,% ... by the govt there infact, Sokoto(3%christians indegines) 4times the Muslims in Rivers has been officially declared STATE OF THE CALISPHATE and nobody is saying anything...but just Wike verbal declaration is giving you people sleepless night Ko ??, God will always expose u people...We don't fight for God, its a sin.

Intelligence is the ability to detect an implied speech even when it isn't explicitly stated. You are not intelligent at all.

Zamfara, Kano and the likes have banned Christians from selling food during ramadan even to Christians. They have also destroyed alcohol meant for Christian consumption. If that isn't a tacit proclamation of Islam as a religion of these states, I wonder what is.

An abokii criticising Rivers state is like a devil himself criticising a small demon.

Many of the things happening are precedence set by the backward north.

The precedence buhari himself is currently setting will come full circle after his tenure.

Many people will wail then.

I never said Akwa Ibom is not moving forward. Why wont it? But comparing it to Rivers shows how ignorant you are. It's just like you comparing Dubai to New York because Dubai looks shiny.

Have you ask yourself why even O&G companies that service mobil prefer to be in PH instead of AKS?

Well I'm done with you. There are certain things you dont teach kids.


Mind you I'm not here to rubbish AKS, it's a state I love and its people are wonderful, but comparing to Rivers is just being stupid.

As per your stadium AKS has just one meaning stadium that can host any meaningful football game, Rivers has 3 and 2 are multipurpose not just football.

As concerning hotel, please let's not go there. AKS is not even in the top 10 in naija when it comes to hotels.

Seaport? Please we ain't talking audio seaport here but functional seaport, Onne generates money currently than any other seaport in Nigeria today.

No, they're not. In fact, no state in Nigeria is either a Christian or a Muslim state. Having majority of Muslims or Christians in a state doesn't classify it as that.

Rivers is a Church-going state, not Christian state. There is no single Christian in Nigeria. Christians are the followers of Christ who thrive to behave like Christ. There is none of such in Nigeria. So, shut the fucck up.

Pls can we just forget this issue.

No Muslim is complaining about Rivers being a Christian state in as much as the government doesn't deprive the Muslims from practising their religion

The pronouncement itself is worth condemning. You guys with double standard, this is called hypocrisy. You didn't see anything wrong in the proclamation as long as the pronouncement doesn't stop Muslims from doing their things. What you forgot is that you didn't realise that this is how it is usually started. All states in Nigeria are secular states no matter what.
