What the Elder sees sitting down.............................

Okay, I will reading an article that directed me to various articles and I can't stop to wonder if what these articles are implying is true. The issue of islamizing Nigeria might actually be on the table somewhere and the plot is thickening by the second. First, we had an Islamic conference sponsored by Saudi Arabia but held in Nigeria. El-Rufai banned christian evangelism both in the schools and in his state. Now they want to pass a bill that will mandate all states to set aside a grazing area for Fulani herdsmen; this invariably means that all states will now compulsorily accommodate Fulani "Muslim". Now imagine is their is a religious fight, that means the Muslims already have men on ground to gather intelligence and fight. No offence to the Muslims here, but you will believe me that as volatile as the world is now with "fanatic" Muslims everywhere, this is not a safe idea. My priest said something one day that got me thinking. He said "are we sure that we Christians are not understanding the bible the wrong way"? "Thou shall not kill" was written in the old testament but all the wars by God's people were also fought and won, through God's help, in the old testament. Some of us will say " God forbid", or "God will not sit and watch Islam take over His people", but we seem to forget some things. Antioch, the present day Turkey was a place where the disciples were first called "Christians'. It was a Christian country. Today, you can barely find a single Christian there. Algeria, a country which has 2 catholic saints was a Christian country, today they don't have a single church. Same goes for the famous Egypt of the bible, Syria and the likes. Today all these countries are Islamic territories. Are we sure God does not want us to take our religion more seriously and guard it with our lives? let's take the case of Spain which was overran by the Muslims during the holy war. It took the famous Knight Templars to raise a crusade from Scotland (or Ireland), to push back the jihads and reclaim the Spanish territory. Today Spain can boast of being one of the countries that call themselves "Christian nation" though they still have very little Muslims. Same story goal for Portugal and Italy whom have to employ various means to fight for their religious believes. Here in Nigeria the case is different as we are waiting for Jesus to come from the clouds and fight for us. Even Donald Trump, as Dump as he might seem at times, sees this silent but progressing crusade and is fighting it. Our dear president recently addressed a nation of various ethnicity in Hausa and we still don't see the signs. Maybe I am the one getting all these wrong, Maybe i am the one not properly educated, maybe I am the one not understanding what really is going on. Maybe I am the only one that sees churches being burnt down in the North but Mosques are being erected in the south. Maybe I am the only one that the morning call for prayer form the mosque wakes up in the morning yet the governor of Lagos state shuts down 22 churches for noise pollution. Just maybe I am also a Christian fanatic that doesn't go around calling other people created by God "infidels" and slaughtering them like animals. Maybe I am the only one that has seen that the Qaran has more mentions of Mary in it than even Mohammed; though some Christians are castigated for honoring her. or maybe because i am on #theJesusTeam. I apologize to anyone this write-up might offend but I am just trying to see things from the realist; and not the idealist, point of view.

Nigerians and gullibility - The Igbo Experiment

Nigerians and gullibility. Someone who has no job and using the normal "Igbo man" sense to make money and fame for himself. just think, is Nnamdi Kanu a politician that politicians troop to see him? Is he a religious leader yet the court requested for a religious leader to sign his bail bond? Is he a king that kings from different towns come to pay homage to? When did southwest become part of Biafra that Fayose and FFK are now his allies? Don't we see these are just political stunts meant to propel him for something in the nearest future? Let's even ask ourselves some personal questions. Do we really believe this country will break? Do we really believe that if it breaks someone like Nnamdi will be able to change the fortunes of we Igbos? How come we are yet to really draw up an internal referendum amongst to so call states that are willing to form Biafra? All we have is a constitution and how to share money but no document showing these states/region has agreed. All we talk about is war, force, closure of places of business e.t.c. Let us start first by barring all Igbos/Biafrans from 1. Seeking political positions 2. Coming out for elections. 3. Stepping down from all political positions 4. relocating our businesses to "Biafra". Let us sit down and have an internal referendum that we have all agreed to breakaway from Nigeria. until then, we are just applying force but no distance hence no work done. My personal view, "instead of struggling for a breakaway that may never come to past, we should instead come together and fight for resource control, regional government or true federalism". I am Igbo and a very proud one. In my next life I will still love to come as an Igbo man because we are the most enterprising, diligent, innovative people on earth. Let's have your view!
