The Silly Religious Bill by senior123: 2:45pm On Mar 31, 2016
That religious bill proposed by El Rufai is a very silly bill. I had a chance to properly read it yeterday.

Firstly, How can you say that state governors should have the rights to decide how religion is practiced in their states when there are muslims and Christians living everywhere in Nigeria. The governor of Kano will always be a muslim and the governor of Imo will always be a Christian.
Why would you pass a law that discriminates and oppresses the minority in every state. The muslims in Imo, Anambra would be unhappy and the Christians in Kaduna will be unhappy. And if the FCT minister would always be a muslim, that is just war. FCT is 50% Muslim 50% Christians. That is just fostering up another war.
Essentially you are giving the right to tear down mosques in the southern states and tear down churches in Northern states but you haven.t told all Christians to move to the south or east and you haven't told all muslims to move to north. Then again what will Lagos be?


Again, section 10 concerning issuing of preaching licences for ministerial, says there are two main islamic preachers licenses available for the two islam religious groups and they just gave Christians two preacher licenses as well since we gave muslims two preachers.
Well Christianity has Catholic, Pentecostal, Anglican, Deeper life, Mountain on fire, zionist etccc..... so are we going to license each one?
What about the igbo jewish communities, the pagans and the traditional worshippers, ifa, amadioha, god of rain and sun etc? Do they get licenses too, i mean they are religions and they are entitled to the same rights that we have. Because they will demand it soon enough.

Secondly, section 11 of the bill says that ministerial would be given monthly allowances. From where? Nigeria is not paying any religious figure from its national budget. No way.

It is a very silly oppressive bill set only to foster hate and except the laws applies at a federal level, where the same laws apply in the way to every state across the country, it will never work. Nobody will answer them. It will just cause fight in every state.
