Nigeria is a poly-religious country, majority being Christianity and Islam while the Traditional and others are minority. Today Nigeria is jeopardized and deformed as every single and straight forward goal cannot be achieved. Our benchmark is being probed while the menace of its growth is been demoralized due to religion.
I pity the so called “One Nigeria” use as a slogan. One Nigeria, but we fight and kill ourselves in respect of religion and power, we vote our leaders in lieu of religious vices. We cannot stand when we go to churches to kill just to satisfy our religious aura, even when the aforementioned is innocent. I see Nigeria dividing in the nearest future, because this country can never be as one.
A good write up from a friend and a political activist. The one I must share, because that’s how Nigeria is now, our religious diversity is killing us. Read his advocacy below:
Ese Oruru a minor is kidnapped, obviously hypnotized and forced to convert to Islam, the Police is powerless, they have to wait for orders from the Emir of Kano and the Shariah Committee.
If it were the other way round, and a man from Enugu kidnaps a minor from Sokoto, forcefully converts her to Christianity and the police is waiting for orders from a Bishop, the heads of nothing less than 500 Christians in the North would have been dismembered from their bodies.
They go on a killing spree when their prophet is defamed, they go on a killing spree if they do not want the MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL PAGEANT to hold in Nigeria. They sponsor terrorism if their political interests are not met, they move around the country pillaging people’s farms with their cattle, raping innocent women and chopping off the heads of those who dare resist because to them, Nigeria is theirs for the taking.
ONE NIGERIA my foot. What a country?
Until Nigeria divides, Nigeria will never stand as one as long as there’s is a Religious Diversity.
