At least Osibona did not kill him

Thousands of Christians have been murdered up north simply for being Christians, what did Kperogi have to say about such killings?
Shut up Yorùbá Christians, this is how you people continue to twist narratives. This thread is about the bigotry of Christians against muslims in Yorùbá land. If you wanna talk about the North, open another thread and discuss it.

Our eyes are opened now, make una just continue!

Meanwhile, uncountable number of Christians died in the rumbles of the collapsed building while others are being senselessly killed especially down north for the mere fact they are Christians.So what is Farooq up to? sad
Another Yorùbá Christian with depleted braincells, go to his Facebook and address that. Plus he can write whatever he wants to write about

Bigot!

Because a girl bears zainab that means she is a muslim?

Oh shut the foolishness. I watched an interview of her relatives on TV at the unfortunate site, they are Muslims. You wish this unverifiable story is the truth so bad but the dead tell no tales innit? Many worker on that site were Muslims. Do your findings.

Mumu the issue is tribe, Yoruba Muslim, Yoruba Christian, who will you choose?
As long as they are both Yorubas, I will choose anyone base on Thier individual personality and not the religion they belong .
However, if you ask me to choose between a Yorubas Muslim and a Northern Muslims, I will go for the Yoruba Muslim, becos they are not religiously violent & do not kill for Thier God ...Thesame will also apply for Northern christains and Northern Muslim. For my life, I would rather go for the Northern christain, becos, I I don't want to be killed in my sleep just becos a picture of their prophet was burnt in a far away country in Denmark . Hope you get .

For too long Muslims living in the SW have been marginalized even though if a proper census was conducted we would be shocked to find out that Islam is quietly the dominant religion in the SW.

Many erroneously assume that Islam is the religion of only the North, but Islam is the dominant religion in the SW as well. It is time for the quiet majority of Muslims in the SW should unite with their brothers in the North and fight for equal rights through out the nation. Wearing a hijab is not a crime nor should it be criminalized.

This is zainab a corper that was trapped in the collapse too

She is Muslim

I don't know what is wrong with Yoruba Muslims

Who told you she's a Muslim? Having a Muslim name as a yoruba person doesn't in anyway mean you're a Muslim.

Every Yoruba family have atleast one Muslim who had converted to Christianity and the name is never changed

Could you pls give an example in history of anywhere Islam is the majority religion and it still being marginalised? Even Muslims where they are a minority start becoming problematic the moment they get a sizeable population (even if still minority).

Why is it that the colonial judicial system, based on the Mosaic Law and English Common Law, that is foreign to Africa, reigning as the prevalent judicial system when the African cultural jurisprudence of Sharia is fought tooth and nail by the south?

A Muslim cannot even practice his culture and religion in peace without being marginalized, and this is a country where Muslims outpace Christians in population, as such Nigeria is a Muslim country with a Christian minority. However this minority uses its influence to fight Islam at every level, why? Why is Sharia not allowed in the south even though in many places in the south are Muslim majority?

Take a look at reality and you will see there are serious problems in this country.


Anything that helps with the pain.

If you ask the Sikiru guy he'd rather suffer bigotry involving denial of job than the bigotry of being blown apart or beheaded for his religion.

You imagine what other ethnic groups are facing in Yoruba land if such wicked treatment is meted on a Yoruba person because he is a moslem. Awolowo a Yoruba man brought tribalism into Nigeria. Yorubas are tribal bigots, an attitude that is not helpful.

Yeah. Awolowo tipped Zik off to run out of the country during the first coup. Wait...he also killed all regional leaders and military leaders in that coup, while ALL Igbo military and civilian leaders were spared. You yeebos are so dumb you actually think others are as dumb as you are.

The Southwest is a deeply complicated society when it comes to religion and religious beliefs.

For instance, it's not uncommon to see a Yoruba who is a christian but seek spiritual consultation with Alfa or Yoruba Muslim that attends church service for spiritual encounter.

The huge chuck of Yoruba people are more spiritual than they are religious, although one cannot deny that the rise in modern pentecostal churches amongst Yorubas have led to a rapid rise in the number of christian religious fanatics amongst the Yorubas, but they are largely in the minority.

Notwithstanding, I may have to agree with the writer that christian fanatics are often given easy pass within the Yoruba society than muslim fanatics. Thus, a Yoruba muslim may have to find ways to constantly prove to Yorubas of other faith that is he or she is not a fanatic, while a Yoruba christian fanatic is seen as a regular guy.

I will also have to point out that this problem is not peculiar to the Yorubas but generally a universal problem. I believe it can be attributed to the activities of terrorist groups like islamic state amongst others, it can also be attributed to the way popular culture portrays islam.

The bias against islamic faith is even more pronounced in the western society in which the writer is currently residing.




Probably because Christian fanatics discriminate against their victims, while Muslim fanatics behead and kill their victims. I know who I'd give a pass to between the two groups.

Yoruba folks , the Muslims do not even affiliate / see themselves on the same pedestal as the northern Muslims..
its literally two different brands of the same thing..

plus if you don't know Nigeria is supposed to be a secular state ..
.. a future Yoruba nation if things end up that way, will be completely secular and liberal.. we do not persecute each other...

.... these so called "Yoruba Muslim or Christian" you talk of... will rather chose a union with each other, than be in a place where they will be masacared by ethnic northern islamist ! cheesy

Why does he have to go to north to prove being muslim? Is north where they determine who is muslim or not?

Face the topic, Islamophobia in Yorubaland. This has nothing to do with north.

Yoruba Muslims are not real Yorubas but immigrants from futa jalon that settled in southwest

God bless real omoluabis
God bless Yoruba land

Yoruba were Muslim first before Christian. That time rejected Jews still dey jump from tree to tree in Kongo jungle

After God banished Eboes for stealing in Egypt, they migrated towards Kongo but they were ambushed by gorillas who took their women, children that come off from the atrocity are known as children of hate and perdition

you mean instead of Saturday and Sundays?

you're just reversing the very problem you're trying to point out...


if what you are saying is that the two religions cannot , in principle, co-exist .. that you want an Islamic state , you want sharia , you want want to establish political, Islam..
then you will be @ odds with other religions within the union

that is the reason in the first place we say religion must be put aside from the present nigerian Govt and the Govt must never impede the religion .. that Nigeria is Secular
anyone is free to worship as he deems fit ... any one is free to live as he wants..

you are not deceiving anyone .. your intention is to Islamize everything.. so its natural that there'll be opposition to your agenda..

not my problem
