The first governor, Gen. Mobalaji Johnson is a christian. Other military governors like Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Ndubusi Kanu are christians. A moslem ruling Lagos State has no difference with any christian governor ruling any state. Yoruba moslems have little or no difference with christians. Tinubu and Fashola sometimes worship in churches. Their wives are christians. 5 Likes |

I see a lot of sentiments in the OP's question and these will not enable development of Lagos. He is calling to religious intolerance, favoritism, subjective politicking and nepotism. Why should everything have religious colorations? Why? I doubt if the OP will ever employ a non-Christian if he is in a capacity to employ. He may be one of the people who adds religion in their résumé just to create a religio-sympathy for consideration regardless of professional competence. This MUST stop if we crave for growth, development and positive transformation of our society. Who cares about your religion? That is your personal baggage. What we should be concerned about is electing the man who can deliver. Pure and simple. 1 Like |

Bt for me I have no issue with any religion type ruling lagos.wat am interested in is who governs well.... But as human we can also ask questions like "what's wrong with fashola supporting someone from other religion" since he n his oga @ d top (tinubu) are both muslims..like I said,as human dese kind of questions can arise |

I'm fine with any candidate that can really perform than Fashola,not to Tinubu's pocket but for the interest of the people ! |

Any sensible person will realize it is commendable how the SW prove that different religions can live side by side in peace if people eschew the prejudice and ignorant phobia the OP and others display proudly. More Nigerians simply need to live and let live instead of going around judging everything and everyone. 1 Like |

shymexx: Similar here. Both parents are Anglican but I am virtually atheist. I think religion, on the whole, and in the African context, does far more harm than good. Religion should be de-emphasized and relegated to homes, Mosque and church as much as possible. Outside those places, and mingling where it should not, religion tends to be a serious menace for Africans. 4 Likes |

Religion is virtually nonexistent in Lagos politics. I think these troublemakers should concern themselves with the politics of their state. |

Dam02: This guy will ever regret posting this topic. Why. It is a legit question that should be addressed rather than ignored or derided. There are a few places in Nigeria that were like Lagos a while ago but not so today. I think strategic thinkers will look more closely at this scenario and seek to strengthen the factors that unify the peoples of the state rather than live in assumption. The state of a nation or teritory is very important. Don't take anything for granted. The forces of division and destruction surely don't. 1 Like |

Gbawe: Religion in the African context is more of a ponzi scheme now, than anything else. All they do is collect money from willing sheeple for the lavish lifestyles of their pastors and build more Churches everywhere, rather than the essence of what the religion was created for in the first place. Despite the gazillion of Churches they've got out here, they are still creating more branches when they can put that money into good use by investing part of it, in the disadvantaged members of the Church. Religion ran its course time ago. 7 Likes |

[quote author=na2day!]Any group of people that hides under the veil of ethnicity and religion to chose their leaders instead of competence are doomed! Religion or tribe is inconsequential so far, the development that people wants to see is apparent! I'd rather make sheik makthoum, the sheik of Dubai the president of Nigeria, if he will make Nigeria like Dubai (FYI, many of our brothers, especially from the east are there hustling and they are not complaining about the religion), rather than Good luck Jonathan whose destiny is to make Nigeria , another somalia My point is this: religion and ethnicity does not matter, in as much as the development we crave is there for all to see !
