Osun a majority Muslim state allowed Oyinlola and Erelu Obada as Gov and dep gov. Without any complaint

What does religion have to with productivity in the south. We always talk about the north but the south is the most divide zone in Nigeria.

SHINJA:
You are very stupid...

You and the Muslim-muslim ticket , God punish all of Una..

God can never punish me because even God almighty knows religion and politics don't mix.

odduduwa:
all these antics just to win election

Elections are meant to be won, that's why you have the aspirant, the candidate and the winner. All sentiments aside, you guys are not going to vote for asiwaju anyway so why the noise. You guys should be happy that he is contemplating muslim- muslim ticket so he can lose woefully as you guys have predicted. In politics no permanent friends or enemies, it all has to do interest and in reality religion should not have anything to do with politics.

Guy forget this your story jare....your Islamic religion is nonsense. Look at what Fulani did to people in benue, Jos, Ebonyi, ogun, southern kaduna and Oyo....this people were killed like ileya ram. Your Tinubu and Atiku have never condemned them for once....to them it's normal because your Islamic religion embrace it. The one that even pained me most was the killing of 700 people that were burnt alive in one day in southern kaduna in 2016. infact your family will go this way for supporting Tinubu.

I am Christian from the southwest and i don't share your views, because we were not taught to behave or think like that. Also what did my family do to you that you wish them death. There is power in the tongue, whatever you wish for someone will surely come your way. For all you have said, it shows you are not a true Christian. Repent because the kingdom of God is at hand.

Miracle2020:
you are not a Christian. You are just a tinubu crumbs eater.

So me having my own view means i am not a christian. Why can't you guys get your point across without the insults and immaturity.

Isokiscool:
u not a born again christian as u claim..

Name any leader you know who did well for Nigeria be it Christian or Muslim. If they were really religious they would fight for suffering masses.I hope you will not say osinbajo

Obagreatdatoye:
You would not understand the importance of the balance of religion in politics....until the tongue of your mother is removed and fed to the dogs and jihadis cow. We are trying to save your head from being cut off ..you proving to be dumb...

So my brother who happens to be a Muslim is now a jihadist that will remove his own mothers tongue. For everything the bible teaches you sure don't talk like a Christian. You guys have more tolerance for hunger than you do for your fellow man. Why must the actions of a few, affect the many who are innocent and are also try to preach peace. There are extremist's in both religions and it's a duty for us, not to allow them to change us.

Oplomo:
That's,if quota45 is truly Christian as he claims..
In the build up to 2015 elections, many yoruba muslims here like madridguy, ngeneukenu, Iamwonderful, parachoko, pakute, GoTV, drlateef started claiming to be 'christians' who would vote buhari even as a shariaist. Dem done come again.

Who has religion helped when it is a yard stick to evaluate effective change in a political climate. I am born anglican and has that one helped the price of rice, diesel and high cost of electricity to power your environment.

Firstly, when has a Muslim or Christian becoming president helped Nigerian masses achieve anything. I am a Christian from the southwest living in Lagos and we have conquered the religious squabbles that have brought turmoil to other regions in the south and made some places unliveable in the north. Just like Tinubu who is a Muslim with a Christian wife, many families in the southwest also have the same scenario and most of the children are allowed to pick the religion they decide to worship or practice. Fashola the former governor of Lagos is a Muslim man who has a Christian wife, and to add to the purity of their union they are both married to just one wife. My father was a Christian and my step mom is a Muslim, do i love my siblings any lesser i don't think so. My best friend is a Muslim, whenever sallah time comes we Christian's are the ones going house to house to chop our own meat. As soon as Christmas or Easter comes around our Muslim friends and family are celebrating it with us. What happened in Owo, Ondo was pure wickedness and trust me the perpetrators will be judged by God Almighty for their evil deeds. Why did a group of armed men kill members of a catholic church mostly populated by ibo's in a southwest town a day before the APC primaries, which had a chance of fielding a popular southern Muslim as its candidate. Only God can answer that question, but what i know is had that incident happened in any other region in the south, a counter attack would have happened in a nearby mosque and a religious war would have broke out. To attest to the love shared by the Muslims and Christians in the southwest the Imams and various members of different mosques went to the church to show their support and to voice their anger over this needless deaths in God's house.

As to the issue of muslim- muslim ticket i don't see anything wrong with it, because in an election you have to win before you can make changes. You have to align and re-align to put the best possible scenario to achieve your goal.
In the south you only have Muslims in the southwest and maybe Auchi, Edo state in the south south. So a Muslim is a minority in the south and in the north out of the 19 governors only three are Christians. So with the religious implications in the north, the northern Christian's are a minority. Elections are meant to be won, so how does the apc candidate who happens to be a minority yoruba Muslim team up with a minority northern Christian whose party apc has only one of the three christian governors in the north. Plateau is the only apc state in the north with a Christian governor and don't forget Plateau state is north central and the party chairman is also from north central. He either picks his vp from northeast atiku's zone or northwest that has the highest votes. As a team player he asked the north to pick his vp, because whoever becomes vp will be the most powerful politician in the north.

All i will say is that tolerance is all that matters, since 1999 when the presidency or the vice presidency went to the north, the presidency or vice went to the majority southern Christians. In all that time the minority southern Muslims have never complained, the last time it happened in an election was during the time of abiola. The northern Christians need to find a unifier in the north, the same way the minority southern Muslims have been able to find a unifier in the south.

In a country where some xtremist can burn a fellow human alive base on there believe and the govt kept murm, in a country where only churches get burnt and pastors are being targeted by bandit kidnappers it is sacrosanct we are duely represent that is the scope of democracy, nigeria is not a muslim state, yorubas adage says, igi gogoro ma gun mii lo ju ati okere la'tin wo i.e long stick don't shook my eye naa from far you go don dey dodge am.
One of the main problem nigeria has today is insecurities via bandits, kidnappers, herdsmen and boko haram its not a coincidence they all belong to one region & religion ....
why must it always be xtain that will sacrifice for the progress of nigeria, since 1960 till date a xtain xtain ticket has never been a topic for a day why are the muslims alway selfish & self centered ..the best country in the world have lil or no iota of muslim @ elms of affair so what is the muslim muslim agenda about.
If Tinubu thinks he can fool us and cunnily impose a muslim muslim on us then is doom eminient. we are in democracy lets run it like democracy competence is not exclusive to any region or religion.

Pastorsmile:
Tinubu only wants to grab power. He is not prepared.
Before one congested and won the primaries, and an old member of a rulling party, you have known who and who will fill certain positions.
If I become the president today, I know who and who will be my VP, ministers etc.
It took pa Buhari almost a year to appointment ministers who later turned out to be ineffective except 2

He is more prepared than you think, so you better be ready to watch his speech when Buhari handovers to him come May 29th.
As of today Tinubu is already the president in awaiting by clinching the ruling parties ticket, that's why he has to very careful not to impose his VP choice to the north. He prefers Shettima but he has to let the North choose his VP because whoever emerges becomes the defacto political leader of the north. The same way the north allowed the south to choose who would represent them.

I have to correct you because all your comments are full of grammatical errors...

Perhaps you attended evening or adult school

I was trying to tell a factual story and some info were out of place, so i just decided to write it for people to understand what occurred. I did not know i was writing a thesis or a Gmat exam. At least you understood what i was trying to say and that was the aim.

(I (have) to correct you because all your comments (are) full of grammatical errors...)

It seems the student has to skool the teacher, it's a past event so you use the word (had) instead of (have).


I (had) to correct you because all your comments (were) full of grammatical errors

VaginaMiners:
Very true..

So the fulani herdsmen decided to tell the southwest a day before the apc presidential primaries which might field a person of southern extraction. Human beings are being used to make a religious statement for political reasons. Read between the lines, which means the only southern person that is acceptable is a christian one. Nigerians wake up we are porns in the eyes of a chosen few and they are not even up to 10 people.

sleek214:
My thoughts exactly, those that are against Atiku and northern presidency will go to any length to discredit them

Look this matter is political and its main aim is to cause a religious climax before the apc primaries. I won't be surprised if the victims were porns used to achieve a certain ending. It is not only about the presidency going to the south but some people feel it should be a christian. A day to the primaries, it does not take Sherlock Holmes to solve this case. Greedy cabals and politicians using human beings as political tools.

helinues:
Tinubu should continue attacking everyone and still expecting them to support him

He is also human and we all have that moment of madness where we vent how we truly feel.

donphilopus:
Let's "overlooked" it is wrong too naa..

I site you and you are mouthed

The accuser commits the same crime while i was being accused. So we are both olodo except the don

Oracleforce:
This is your own side of the story, so step aside, let's hear people from his (Dapo Abiodun) side so as to know how to judge.

but your write-up is full of grammatical errors... let's overlooked it.

At least you you understood it. Proof below
