But, he didn't succeed the last time he tried & he'll not even succeed dis tym around because, he's an ardent loser.. So, what are my trying to say??..

Buhari's own is a case of the evil that men do live with them.

This is for those who are trying to rewrite history.

First I will like to ask Salient questions:
1. The article claimed that the State took over "Xtian" Schools, the question is were the said schools given to muslims? That is if it is true. How does taking over of institutions by government of Nigeria amount to islamisation? When has it become the FG's business to control Secondary schools save Unity Schools?

2. The article claimed that permit for mosques were issued and churches denied. The question is in which areas? When has it become the duty of the Federal Government to issue permits for religious houses? Hasn't this been the perennial duty of the various states? Another question, which areas did these happen? I am throwing open challenge to OP.

Finally, the article was a commentary on the OIC by IBB. It has nothing aginst GMB. See full article

Despite this, nearly all of Nigeria's leaders have come from the
north, and nearly all have been Moslems. Under the
Government of the previous President, Maj. Gen. Mohammed
Buhari, many Christian schools were taken over by the state,
and permits to build churches were held up while the
construction of mosques was stepped up. Nonetheless, Mr. Dabo
said, there is still a sense of insecurity and inadequacy here.
''We are, as they say in Hausa, holding the horns and they are
milking the cow,'' Mr. Dabo said. ''What do we have for ruling
this country for so many years? Nothing. We are educationally
and economically backward. That is why we are politically
volatile. If there is going to be a revolution it is going to start
here.''
At the university, Mr. Dabo's analysis of northern politics and
society is ignored. What matters is religious conviction.
''We need Islam in the pure form,'' said Mustapha Isa Qasim, the
president of the Moslem student group. ''The debate is on. It
doesn't mean we are preparing for war. We are not. But we are
up to the task of an intellectual fight.'' Challenge to Christians
But more revealing is a challenge the student group issued to
the Christian Association of Nigeria, which denounced both the
proposal to introduce sharia law in the south and Nigeria's
flirting with the Islamic Conference.
''We particularly wish to warn the Christians,'' a leaflet posted
around campus read, ''to desist from making further comments
on the so-called move to make Nigeria a member of the Islamic
Conference Organization. We warn our Christian compatriots
not to force us into breaking our unilateral declaration of peace.
They should not deceive themselves that the Moslems' silence
in this country means helplessness or cowardice. We are ever
ready for any eventuality.''
The banker said the polarization of the country along religious
lines would inevitably affect the country's political future,
especially if the promise of a return to some form of civilian
rule by 1990 is kept.
''It will probably become a classic religious battle,'' he said. ''It
will affect party formation. I wouldn't be surprised to see parties
assigned to a particular religion.''
In the south, where many newspapers are based, cartoonists and
editorial writers have reacted ferociously to the challenge. A
recent cartoon in a newspaper showed a bearded imam jiggling
prayer beads in his left hand while stamping on a copy of the
Constitution. Under the country's suspended Constitution of
1979, Nigeria is constituted as a secular state. 'An Ill Wind'
Under a headline ''An Ill Wind,'' The Daily Star of Enugu, said in
an editorial, ''In a nation as diverse as Nigeria, it is not in the
interests of its people to have an official religion, nor can one
religion be imposed on the whole people.''
In a similar vein, the newspaper The Punch wrote, ''Given our
recent tragic experiences as a nation and given Nigeria's
sensitivity to religious issues, we believe that any attempt to
introduce religious factors into the business of government, no
matter the altruistic purpose and no matter the genuine reason -
such a step is to all intents and purposes similar to sounding a
drumbeat for crisis.''
The Government's response to the harshness of the verbal
clashes has been relatively muted. After weeks of conflicting
statements by members of his Government - some insisting that
Nigeria was a member of the Islamic Conference Organization,
others denying it - the President, Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Babangida,
announced that the country had in fact joined the group.
At the same time, however, he appointed a 20-member
presidential committee to examine the implications of
membership for Nigeria and its secular status.
No Government that is national and anxious to succeed will
deliberately create problems for itself, General Babangida said,
in notifying the nation that it had joined the Islamic group.
Decision Is Defended
He defended the decision by describing the organization as a
forum for technical, economic and cultural cooperation among
member countries. Nonetheless, he appeared to leave room for a
revocation of the decision if the committee determines that
membership in the group will worsen religious tensions in the
country.
As for the introduction of sharia courts in the south, no senior
Government official has publicly said a word.
''The Government is very, very slow in coming out,'' the Roman
Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Anthony O. Okogie, said. ''It is
categorically stated in the Constitution that Nigeria is a secular
state. To ally Nigeria with a religious organization is wrong.
Nigeria is not an Islamic state. If we allow this, it means Nigeria
has no Constitution.''
The Archbishop, in a snow-white cassock, sat shoeless behind
his desk waving a ruler for emphasis. ''If the Government isn't
careful, there may be some trouble,'' he said. ''I don't think there
will be violence. The possibility is there. But as level-headed
men, we must search for peace.''
But some commentators on Nigeria, even those with
acknowledged biases, say it will not be easy to soften the
rapidly hardening edges of religious hostility and intolerance.
''Pressure is being put on the country to Islamicize,'' Mr. Giwa,
the editor, said. ''It's becoming a big national crisis.''

Tactical Islamization policy.
SMH
I hope people will not blame PDP for an article that was written in 1986 when PDP wasn't in existence.

You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to discover that. His utterances and body language suggest that. I can't wait for 14th.

There are too many reasons why that man can not be president of Nigeria.

VOTE BUHARI........ VOTE CHANGE

Some folks need to learn from history.

Kai Buhari!!


Buhari/ Fr Mbaka 2019

Let me advice the pro-PDP, the only way to nail Buhari is by drinking poison. Buhari is as clean as a slate! You can't rope him with propaganda

GEJ till boo hary produces his cerificate..

If I were you, I would not vote the person who did this to me any longer. What the heck is 'What are my'? Product of Jonathan's failed educational system.

Clean as a slate dirtied with charcoal right? Mr Clean has yet to come clean on his O'level results.

Why did the sponsors of the propaganda against Buhari shown on some TV stations forget to mention that he seized christian schools and stopped the building of churches?

seizing of christian missionary schools from the owners by government is not a new thing. Its been happening and the matter resolved. It has nothing to do with islamization of Nigeria.

Brother you are a typical example of a brainwashed dude. My advice, you have been calm and calculated in your arguments on this forum. Watch yourself don't loose it. You may be leaving yourself open to radicalization. Somebody with your intelligence will cause a great damage when you become a suicide bomber.

thanks but forget about my radicalism or moderatism. Face issues! Do you have anything againsg GMB?

I do not even bother again because if there is one thing I am sure of, it is that Buhari can NEVER EVER be Nigeria's president.

Nonsense attempt at rebuttal.
Whether the schools were handed over to muslims or not doesn't change anything, taking the schools away from the church was a way of reducing the influence of the church and christianity on the students.
Secondly, Buhari's government was a military regime in far back 1984, all the administrators in the different states were appointed by him and he had total control over their decisions including the granting of permits or anything else.

You have proven not to have any knowledge about governance in Nigeria. To you, Military Heads are absolute. Not even IBB's regime was absolute nor Abacha. You know nothing about Provisional Government of the Military. Otherwise, you won't say the HoS decide who get what permit. I raised questions, when does the State taking over properties amount to Islamization or Christianization? What is the business of the Federal Military Government with secondary schools save Unity Schools? What is the business of FG with religious permit? By the way which and which churxh was denied permit? Pls I don't respond to kids comment. You should avoid topics that you have no idea of.

All the 19 states then had administrators that were strictly appointed by Buhari, they were like ministers whose decisions must be in line with Buhari's policies, they were simply there to do his bidding.
Taking over christian schools from churches, refusal to grant permit for church building while speeding up the process for mosques, amounts to Islamization.

The god of this world has blinded their eyes
This is why I say many southerners supporting the man are either blind or stoopid or have been promised something from APC
All they need to do is read up on history and use their brains
Do you think they are interested?
Their hatred of GEJ mainly because of where he came from will push them to endorse the devil himself as an alternative
These are not made up articles
El Rufai and dele momodu who are now Buhari crusaders wrote extensively on the true Buhari
A leopard never changes it's spots
The Buhari they are now trying to sell to us at 72 is unreal
The real Buhari is a vindictive Islamic and Fulani tyrant and history proves it
