Being a secular nation, naija has no business in the Islamic solidarity whatever.

Don't you get it?


If call India a Hindu nation, some Muslims there will be ready to kill you.

mytym:



Let's assume you are Atheist and your clan/family is supposedly a combination of various divisions of atheism -free thinkers and the likes. Then there's a harmless Egungun sports festival being organized by Ògún Worshipers and strictly for Ògun Worshipers. But some of your 'atheist' kindred who are skilled in masking and dancing enlisted in the Egungun festival.

What will anybody or the organizers think of your Clan?

Apparently everyone will assume those kindreds of yours have represented the whole clan, and prseumed Your clan is traditional religionist which is NOT true.


Do you know the Genesis of Muslims having Sunday gatherings in Nigeria?

It's majorly because some churches/denominations have some how been able to lure and convert innocent and unsuspecting Muslims to Christianity simply by participating in harmless church activities on Sundays when these Muslims appear idle and unengaged.

Mcowubaba:


You don't get it.
The sporting Event Is strictly for Muslim Countries.
And Nigeria is not a Muslim country, hence the opposition from CAN.

It's not about who is organizing the Sports, it's about the requirements for qualifying to be among the Contestants in the Sporting Event.

The requirements includes being a Muslim Country etc, can you see where the problem is?

If there is a sporting event and the requirements for qualifying for it requires a Country to be a Christian Country (and Nigeria is participating) , then the Muslims can also protest.

Can you kindly name a Sporting Event that was meant for only Christian/Atheist Countries and Nigeria participated
Name 1?
Kindly educate me

Poor logic. You are not "practicing Islam" by playing in a football tournament fool. If Nigeria participates in these games it is like announcing that it is a Muslim nation, which it is NOT.

Also, Islam is backwards and revolting. Because of laws letting muslims in the North "practice their religion", there is mass child-marriage of little children to rapist pedophiles, and there are jihadists like Boko Haram who brainwash kids and the desperate, rape and murder and steal, destroy infrastructure and schools (this is a sign that they are extremely stupid), and perpetually keep Northern Nigeria in the Dark Ages.

If Nigeria had no muslims, it would have no Boko Haram. If Nigeria had no Boko Haram, families would not be torn apart and schools and towns wouldn't be burnt down, sabotaging generations of education. If Nigeria's North was secular, instead of a rotten hotbed of Islam and Islamism, it could see freedom, economic and infrastructural development/growth, rise in education, safety and human rights being respected. Feast on that thought a moment.

Islam denies Jesus is the Son of God.

"Such was Jesus, the son of Mary; it is a statement of truth, about which they vainly dispute. It is not befitting to the majesty of God, that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be' and it is" (Quran 19:34-35).

This is a spirit against Jesus called the Anti-Christ spirit.

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. - 1 John 2:22 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John2:22&version=KJV

So yes Islam denies Jesus

CyrusTheGreat:


Of course, I wouldn't expect a Naijan muslim to take in opposing opinions, they're too damn stupid.

You carry on with your takbirs and your kneeling on a rug, idiot.

sapele914:
Go and check the history of the Olympic games for starters about the atheist and Roman Greek games for their Gods,even at the 1936 Berlin Olympics Adolf Hitler shook the hands of Jesse Owen the great black American athlete after he won the 100 meters, sports is about unity not bigotry,Nigeria is the 6th most populated Muslim country in the world with 77 million, so Can wants to disenfranchise them from participating?My guy don't show how myopic you are, Nigeria as a Nation is way bigger than your imagination, the more you think you know the less you actually know,who knows the amount of talents they could find there at the event,just like farouk that plays in the NBA for the portland Trail blazers. Go and check how many Nigerian athletes are representing UAE,Qatar,Oman,Bahrain to mention a few. Please tell me any other country you know in the world that the Government officially sends both Christians and Muslims on pilgrimages at the expense of the government.

Ogbeni, you're talking long story.
Nigeria is not meant to participate in any competition that is strictly for any religious group simple and short. QED.

That's the meaning of a Secular Nation, if you don't like it, Join Biafrans and demand for succession/referendum.

Oga, People are disenfranchised daily in Nigeria, you can see Nnamdi Kanu, El Zakzaky nd Co lamenting Daily, and also planning on breaking out of Country because it's not suitable to their own desires and idealogies.

Any Nigerian can represent any team in the world as far as he/she is accepted by law and standards, that has nothing to do with this discussion. 90% of Nigerians representing other countries are Immigrants or Citizens of that Country, the were either born there or migrated at a very early age nd are now Citizens (most of them don't even identify as Nigerians or with Nigeria) .

Nigerian Government should NEVER participate in any Occasion that is STRICTLY meant for any Religious group SIMPLE. THAT'S part of the 1 Nigeria anthem, you can't have it 2 ways. If we must stay together as 1, you must be willing to make compromises.

As southerners need to get higher scores to get admitted to a Federal school, but Northerners can score anything and still get admitted WELCOME TO ONE NIGERIA.

I hope you know that the constitution guiding the RELIGION of Nigeria to be SECULAR was inspired to Promote ONE NIGERIA..

Baba, you can't have it both ways. Do you want a Muslim Country or a Country filled with over 3 major religious groups, if you want the latter, you are not expected to participate in any Religious activities that's is strictly for a particular religion, as a Government.

Note, Individuals can participate and fund whatever the want, but NOT Government

OLAJADON:
Nigeria is a secular state where we have both Muslims and Christians, Now CAN is writing federal government to stop Nigeria from participating in a sport because the organisers are Muslims but there is nothing bad if we participate in any sport organised by Christians or atheist.
my question is how does individual either christian or Buddhist participating in a general sport organised by Muslims affect the individual religion.
this is pure hate of Islam with no logical reason.

HDVideos:
Lets ask questions

Why does our Naira notes all have Arabic on them?

Why does our Army and other millitary parasatals have arabic on their unifrom and logo?

Why is our National assembly building and all other buildings shaped as a mosque?

Why is our Flag having green as a basic colour just as all other islamic countries, is it because it is on record in Islam that Green is Mohammeds best colour? look at saudi arabias flag, pakistan, morocco, libya etc

I am not a fanatic but I want a secular Nigeria not a Islam Country.

Read the history of Turkey and Iran.. you would shake for our country.

Rilwan20:

You guys are more horrific than the religion fanatics reason why Nairaland mod have device a mode of declaring once faith before commenting on Muslims section because you hardly see Muslims commenting on Christian posts but you guys incessantly constitute nuisance on their posts. But the irony of this is that you are as meek as pussy cat organically, but claim to be gangster behind your keyboard. Bloody hypocrite, how can you type something like this when you are equally guilty of the same allegation. My two cents advice is travel to Kano with a mega phone in you hand and say the same thing you type here in Hausa.

ransomed:
_:::--- Your points show that Nigeria is only for Northerners,that our military is Northern Army, Northern Air Force. We also use Arewa currency and the government is claiming secularity but we see evidence(s) of grand Islamization.

FrankGiel:

Let me give u another example.. The winner of the Most beautiful girl in Nigeria, represents Nigeria in Miss world.. This has nothing do with the FG..same with Big brother Africa, representatives represent Nigeria in BBA. This isn't business of government.. As long as the representatives of this Islamic sporting event are not funded by the Nigerian government it shouldnt be anyone's problem.
If Nigeria as a whole claims to be an Islamic state anD wants to finance such competitions, then i have a problem with it. The same way I have a problem with the Government sponsoring pilgrimage..

udatso:
Let the fg settle this one and for all. They should start by removing ng as an Islamic country cos it posses serious threat to our unity especially now that Nigerians are very sensitive to religious matters. As a Muslim, I wouldn't feel comfortable if Nigeria is registered as a Christian nation (assuming there is something like that).
I believe the fact that Nigeria is enlisted as an Islamic nation was the reason she was invited to this game. Let's put an end to this.
As for our Muslim brothers who think there is nothing wrong with it, I want them to know that everything is wrong with it. Do to others what you want them to do to you.

yorubaisevil:

No, you diabolically got it all wrong, this one is called Islamic solidarity sports federation... Always remember to complain whenever you hear about christian solidarity sports federation

Modifies,: this people are diabolical and takes everybody for a fool... I can still remember about Miss World... Didn't it offend the Islamic Nigeria?

bamidelee:

do they ask xtians to participate? or are there no Muslim's in Nigeria
CAN should register as a political party and we know how to address them better. it's a must they put mouth in everything.
yeye dey smell

CheezyCharles:
so the general secretary of CAN is Musa ? like Musa? well who no like better thing? #TeamJesu
