When a thug becomes an acclaimed Man of God, you can’t separate his thuggish life from his Christian life.

Lol.. These guys are so funny... One of their own from Osun state(Bola Ahmed Tinubu) formed a coalition and sold them and they accepted and now they're protesting.. Funny Afonjaas

This is where you all get it wrong!
Religion is not the problem, but Islam... There are 4300 religions out there, majority of which has been modified and adapted to modern realities.

Out of the 7 major religions Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confusianism, Judaism - only Islam still behaves so primitive like it were still in the 1100AD.

Naturally, when religions are woven intricately into the fabric of politics, disaster would always happen. And this can be proven well by Christianity which was a highly peaceful and persecuted faith only to become a powerhouse, and then some people began to use it as a tool of oppression.

However, Christians by themselves undid the errors of polluting Christianity with politics by forcing a separation of state and the church, and Christianity went back to sanity and could once more became an outreach faith. This change was led by Christians and not outsiders!

The problem with Islam is that it has always been designed to be a state powered religion because it's proponents understand that reason and logic are the greatest threats to its existence.

Islam is the major threat this world faces at this moment. We in Africa understand it, the Asians understand it. I hope the West don't understand it too late.

AS WRITTEN BY AHAMAD TIJANI BALORI - A MUSLIM.

ON THAT PROTEST AGAINST NASIR EL RUFAI @elrufai

So during the week some lawyers protested the inclusion of Governor Nasir el Rufai as one of the keynote speakers at the upcoming conference of the Nigeria Bar Association.

They premised their protest on:
1. His constant disobedience of court orders.

2. His persecution (not prosecution please) including imprisonment and possible disappearance of critics, notably Dadiyata, Dr John Danfulani, Steven Kefason, Segun Onibiyo, Gloria Ballason etc.

3. His attitude to and inaction on the massacres going on in Southern Kaduna.

4. His utterances even from before he became governor to date which are rather unpatriotic and unstatemanly to say the least. Etc

The protesters further suggested the replacement of el rufai by Professor Babagana Zulum the Executive Governor of Borno State.
I supported them and actively contributed in my own little way.

No where in the petition is religion or ethnicity mentioned or even implied.

Interestly, both el rufai and Zulum are governors of states in the north. They are both Muslims and are both non lawyers who have post graduate qualifications.

The biggest deal is that both their states have serious security challenges and their citizens are suffering but this is where the joker comes in.

Governor Zulum is doing everything within his capacity to deal with the crises and help his people. He is usually in the thick of battle and has come in the line of gun fire at least twice.

You will always find him in the worst hit crises prone areas and while he has not succeeded in ending the problem, he daily dishes out hope and succor to his people.

My people, our people. NO ONE in Borno state feels left out or abandoned and even if you don't like Zulum or are not on his political side you cannot help respecting the man and admiring his style.

You feel the deep desire to want him to succeed and earnestly pray for his success. That is how leadership is and how a leader should be.
I am from Borno State and very proud of Gov Zulum and daily pray for his success.

As for @elrufai his records abound and the very fact that a section of the people he is supposed to be leading feel he is against them is a harsh verdict on him and his style of governance.

Even while the protests against his participation in the NBA conference were going on, Gov el rufai had the police in his state evict a man and his family from a house in contravention of a valid court order on Tuesday.

Respect for the fundamental rights of citizens
And service.

It was not about religion and ethnicity and we should not reduce it to that.

The protest against el rufai was about:
Leadership
Governance
Statesmanship
Constitutionality and the rule of law

If you are comfortable with the killings and insecurity in the North, I am not. If you don't want to shout or hold your leaders to account, please don't cover my mouth.

Bring Governor Zulum and see if he'll be rejected.

There are levels to these things.

@elrufai is a bad product.
https://twitter.com/savndaniel/status/1297076511577714688?s=19[/quote]I think @the bold should be able to change the thought of those who are already associating ethno- religious sentiment to this matter .

Meanwhile, this is just the beginning for Hell Rufai, he will reap the evil he has sown fully with jara .

There shall be no peace for the wicked !!!

IamWonderful:
What kind of game is this

MalcoImX:
You wrote this somewhere. Is Muslim-Muslim, Christian-Muslim or Christian ticket unconstitutional? If they hate El-Rufai, isn't there a party that presented what you aspired to?

EMMY76:
There's absolutely no end in sight until we all decides to tell ourselves the bitter truth that it's not just possible for us to live together and progress in peace as one undivided nigeria.

MalcoImX:
The Northern branches of NBA should boycott all activities by the NBA.

El-Rufai and all in the North know their games. The hatred of the North, the Hausa, the Fulani and Islam is what's being disguised here. El-Rufai is the scapegoat for cowards who see nothing good coming out from the North.

stonemasonn:
ha! your future president

ZKOSOSO:
So Elrufai even know what fairness looks like..?

Imagine Hitler in the hands of Jews begging for Justice..!!

spy24:

lol...No longer blaming Jonathan?

Tomorrow, they will blame Cameroon and Ghana!

Bunch of wicked corrupt men stealing money meant for our troops and sending our boys into battle with 30 bullets per soldier.
God will judge Buhari and Burutai!

KosiGee:
Lots of leaders from the north comes to mind but one person is standing out from the pack.

When a particular dude full of attitude but lacking in altitude threaten international election monitors with ‘body bags’ or threaten everyone including military who harm a Fulani person with reprisal or blaspheme against Christianity then you know there are back ups somewhere adding invisible inches to his height.

princemeadow:
How did we arrive at killing for Blasphemy? Is there no room for Taubah (repentance ) in Islam anymore? Why can't we project Rosullullah Muhammed in his true picture to this man instead of killing him?

Dont forget, we are in a country where Muslims relate with non Muslims, Christians, majorly on their sphere of lives. Let's preach Islam with peace. Giving it picture of blood thirsty killing and unforgiving nature to Islam is a dent and anti Islam

Our brothers in the north have taken the rigid, extreme part of the religion and I still do wonder why politicians hide under Islamic religion to perpetrate killings like Boko Haram and Bandits.

Please can we love the prophet more than Allah?

If not someone should show me in the Quran where Allah revealed that anybody who talks against the prophet should be sentenced to death. Meanwhile, we claim that our religion is for peace. How are we spreading peace in this manner?

Though I'm not against the Sharia law but it should be interpreted logically.

History reveals that the prophet was mocked during his days, he never ordered anybody to kill people who do that, while some muslims of nowadays also mock prophet Issa, the Jesus of christianity, why can't we say they should be sentenced to death.

With this act, we are losing the right image of Islam and making it unattractive for those who may want to approach the religion for good.

So it is about time we reorientate our approach to our application of law. If not....Hmmmm. We are indirectly championing hatred towards our religion.
