Stop Using Religion To Divide Nigerians – APC by angelawoko(m): 2:43am On Jan 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned religious leaders across Nigeria to stop using religion as a tool to divide the people, especially in the name of politics. In a statement issued in Jos on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the warning becomes necessary following the false messages being circulated via SMS to the effect that adherents of a certain religion were being killed in a part of the country and their houses of worship burnt on Saturday, when nothing of such happened. ”After receiving the text message, we investigated and discovered that nothing of such happened today, Saturday, Jan. 17th 2015,” it said APC described as liars from hell and agents of evil those who are peddling such incendiary messages, because they (messages) are capable of pitting adherents of the country’s two main religions against themselves and setting the country on fire. The party challenged the security agencies to investigate, arrest and prosecute those who are behind these serpentine messages, instead of chasing shadows and turning themselves into tools of partisanship in the hands of unscrupulous and shameless politicians. ”Those who will use religion to divide the citizens for political reasons are not men of God, whether they are Christians or Muslims. They are agents of darkness and posterity will not be kind to them,” it said. APC said the same people have resorted to circulating, via SMS and e-mail, a fake list of the National Executive Committee of the APC to support their satanic claim that the party is an Islamic Party. ”Unfortunately for these evil people, Nigerians have resolved to repudiate those who have latched on to religion and ethnicity to divide them. They have rejected the characterization of a party that is chaired by a Christian as an Islamic Party, and they will punish, with their votes, those on whose behalf those lies are being peddled,” the party said. It called on Nigerians to be very vigilant, especially in the run up to next month’s general elections, because lies will be packaged as the truth and circulated to unsuspecting citizens.

There is no way Nigeria of our dreams will materialise as long as we let the present myopic-minded folks we have at the Villa continue.


That Nigeria has been divided on ethno religious lanes ain't news any longer but we will all be doing huge disservice to tomorrow's generation if we don't join hands to stop the present rot.

*I don't see why a Fashola shouldn't have been paired with Buhari, *......

....But we are happy to have another capable man who is ready to work very candidly with the People's General, to liberate Nigeria

For the sake of clarity, we must understand that though there are moderate Muslims, there is no such thing as moderate Islam. Islam is radical.

The figures below are from seven years ago.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called "religious rights."

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to "the reasonable" Muslim demands for their "religious rights," they also get the other components under the table. Here's how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book [2007]).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States – Muslim 1.0%
Australia – Muslim 1.5%
Canada – Muslim 1.9%
China – Muslim 1-2%
Italy – Muslim 1.5%
Norway – Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark – Muslim 2%
Germany – Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom – Muslim 2.7%
Spain – Muslim 4%
Thailand – Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves – along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).
France – Muslim 8%
Philippines – Muslim 5%
Sweden – Muslim 5%
Switzerland – Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands – Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago – Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% [/b]of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris – car burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam – Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana – Muslim 10%
India – Muslim 13.4%
Israel – Muslim 16%
Kenya – Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%

After reaching [b]20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia – Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia – Muslim 40%
Chad – Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon – Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania – Muslim 70%
Malaysia – Muslim 60.4%
Qatar – Muslim 77.5%
Sudan – Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh – Muslim 83%
Egypt – Muslim 90%
Gaza – Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia – Muslim 86.1%
Iran – Muslim 98%
Iraq – Muslim 97%
Jordan – Muslim 92%
Morocco – Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan – Muslim 97%
Palestine – Muslim 99%
Syria – Muslim 90%
Tajikistan – Muslim 90%
Turkey – Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates – Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" – the Isla mic House of Peace – there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan – Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia – Muslim 100%
Somalia – Muslim 100%
Yemen – Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
"Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, "The Haj”
It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

Our politicians are the greatest enemies of this beloved nation, they try to curve out a nithe for themselves by dividing the people and manipulation their mind, believes, value and trust.

Well it is left to the people to stay awake and ask for what is due to them in a united and persistent manner.
