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 con sumption. If that isn't a tacit proclamation of Islam as a religion of these states, I wonder what is.

“ alcohol meant for Christian consumption “ I wonder where you got your Christianity from shocked

There is NO CULTISTS IN LAGOS , Ikorodu, Fadeyi, Shomolu, Oshodi , Mushin , Agege... People are not dieing on monthly basis as a results of cultism


See, if u want to take the good word of Islam to Rivers people, no issue with that , if they embrace it , so be it. But u cannot do that with threat on political favour of war....Nigeria belongs to all of us, should you try that , we wouldl know who truly owns the national cake and the nation... In the north the govt has been imposing various laws that is not favourable to non Muslims , I mean the indigenes , people are forced to close their stores during jumat prayers , people are forced not to eat publicly because of Muslims fasting in states that have more than 2 to 5% Christians... Churches are denied cert of land occupancy....infact Sokoto has been declared STATE OF THE CALISPHATE even with the 5% Christian's indigenes... U people are deaf to that but want to voice of for Rivers with 99.9% christians indigenes ?... Not even Edo in the south south that can brag of roughly 10% Muslims, but Rivers ??... Some of u are sick and that expose what we thought was a political talk that Buhari want to Islamise Nigeria ... U are making sound true with all these unnecessary noise...

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.

We have Muslims and Christian states young man.

A state is automatically Muslims if it has the largest dominating population and Christian if over 95% of her population are Christians.

Automatically Rivers falls here.


Muslims states are

Kaduna
Kano
zamfara
Adamawa
Ogun
Osun
Oyo
Borno
Katsina
Kwara
Kogi
Bauchi


Christan states

Akwaibom
Cross river
Enugu
Ebonyi
Imo
Rivers
Bayelsa
Abia
Benue
Taraba
Delta


Muslims Majority/Minority Christian status like 55%:45%

Lagos State

Ondo state

Southern-owned Punch Newspapers are here vilifying Wike for his statement.
You do not see Northern-owned Daily Trust vilifying Zamfara and the Northern States for their Sharia adoption. Or vilifying Kano for their Hisbah police. Or the Northern states for destroying alcohol yet collecting tax money from the Southern states.


Stupid, cowardly Southern Nigeria/ Punch Newspapers.

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.

Off course no one forces you to be a Christian, except that they will kidnapped Muslim kids in Kano and take them to Anambra and transform them into Christians. Whenever you people want to talk it is either you speak ignorantly it dishonestly.

NaMeAboki:
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.

Why then do Kano destroy alcohol that belong to non Muslims? Why not leave non Muslims to take their alcohol in peace? Don't you think their action negates the freedom of choice under the federal Constitution?

Oh, those barren people in Anambra is the only point u have , Do I need to remind u on how ;

1. Islam was propagated in Nigeria via war ??

2. That ISIS are all Muslims ??


3. That Boko Haram want Nigeria to be declared Islamic state ??,

3 That all terrorists all Muslims but I cannot say all Muslims are terrorists


Now, tell me any state in the south or maybe Rivers, Abia, Delta... That are 100% Christians indigenous, that has established a religious law to check on citizens both the non-Christians , Pls just name one if there is... We know what is happening in Nigeria , we know what some of want... But. In Christianity, we don't fight for God, even if u blasphem or mess with the Holy bible, Is only God that can judge u, we cannot fight for God...Even President Trump alleged trying to ban Muslims in US , it's regarded as self righteousness , which will not wash away all his sins on judgement day , including Gov Wike who is saying Rivers is a christain state, if he is still a sinner , not yet a born again, he is still not a Christian... The brain behind Christain were those regarded as Christ-like...as such, self righteousness doesn't make u a Christian or a believer until u are free from sin...but you always attack christians without sharing the good word from the holy Qur'an killing people imposing Al jaizyal...with what is in Surat Al baqara 195 vs 2, which I dare u to screen shot for me, tell me why we won't have ISIS , Boko Haram, Terrorists ??... Tell me why President Trump will not want to Ban Muslims and Wike not to declared Rivers a christians state which their self righteousness with is not supported by the HOLY BIBLE ??

nonesense Ipobian statistic

first let educate you what Islamic state, christian state and secular state means

A Christian state is a state that recognizes a form of Christianity as its official religion and often has a state church (also called an established church), which is a Christian denomination that supports the government and is supported by the government

The term Islamic state has been used to describe various historical polities and theories of governance in the Islamic world.[1] As translation of the Arabic term dawlah islāmiyyah (Arabic: دولة إسلامية‎) it refers to a modern notion associated with political Islam


A secular state is an idea pertaining to secularity, whereby a state is or purports to be officially neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion.[1] A secular state also claims to treat all its citizens equally regardless of religion, and claims to avoid preferential treatment for a citizen based on their religious beliefs, affiliation or lack of either over those with other profiles.
