Diamby:Moreover, Shariah is only applied to Muslims. Christians and Jews are exempted. I don't know what is wrong with them, many of them run to Dubai, Malaysia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia(oil workers) and these countries apply Shariah law! |

fresh15: Ask yourself!! if Buhari is a Jihadist, when he was Military Head of state in 1983 with a Muslim as Deputy (Tunde Idiagbon) why didn't he spread sharia law around Nigeria with all his power as a dictator as 'Merciless and Ruthless' as they say he was? why is it now that we're in a democracy that he'll now spread sharia law? don't let PDP lie to u....they want to use religion to divide this country!! HIS DAUGHTER IS MARRIED TO AN IGBO CHRISTIAN!! HOW CAN HE BE A JIHADIST FOR FVCK SAKE? BE WISE NIGERIANS!! 1 Like |

nzeadachie:In the above countries you're allowed to drink beer except for Saudi Arabia, infact they allow Christians to eat pigs. During the reign of Umar II(Umar Ibn Abdulaziz) he allowed pigs and wine into the Islamic State because of Christians! It's not a matter of division, I'm not saying we should implement Shariah because it would cause problems due to illiterate individuals. But I don't think it's wrong to implement it in the north, since it's Muslim majority! Punishments like stoning to death for adultery and Apostasy can exempted because those crimes don't require death penalty. The Quran and hadith doesn't prescribe death penalties except to murderers, criminals! There is no single place in the Quran which says we should kill adulterers or apostates! NB:It's just an opinion, I'm not calling for an implementation! |

For those of you who do not know, the author of this article, Richard Grenell, is a Foxnews contributor in the US. He is a well-known ultra conservative who belongs to the group of people with the with the mind set that destroying Iraq without finding any weapon of mass destruction was justified and who spread anti-muslim sentiments throughout the US airwaves. He is a well-known Islamaphobic character who does not speak for the US or the reasonable peoiple of the US. He types are stuck in the paradigms of 20 yeears ago. He, of all people, should know that our democratic system will not allow any president to turn Nigeria into a Islamic or Sharia state. The man is dellusional, has lost his relevance, and should be completely ignored. He hates Obama and could very well be a border line racist. |

Thanks, but no thanks. GEJ created or, at least, fostered the empowering environment for "Boko Haram". He did not give a damn because he was "happy" to see northerners kill each other. He is an ethnic bigot. |
Re: Electing Buhari As President, Disaster For Africa – ex US Envoy by Revolution: 4:52pm On Mar 21, 2015 |
Why are Nigerians so gullible that nobodies can say something and be taken seriously in Nigeria. First of all, Richard Grenell was never a US ambassador to the UN, he was a US spokesman at the UN. Can you see the difference? It is like calling Okupe, a spokeman, an ambassador. Kai! Here is his profile: Richard Grenell (born September 18, 1966) is an American media commentator and former diplomat. He is the longest serving U.S. Spokesman at the United Nations and briefly served as national security spokesman for Mitt Romney in his 2012 campaign for president of the United States.[1] [2] He became the first openly gay spokesman for a Republican presidential candidate, after being hired by Mitt Romney. He resigned after pressure from social conservatives and gay liberals alike. Richard Grenell lives in California with his partner of nine years, Matthew Lashey, a media and entertainment company executive.[7] He is a registered Republican.[7] Grenell received a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and his bachelor's degree in Government and Public Administration from Evangel College.[citation needed] In June 2013, Grenell revealed that he has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and recently started chemotherapy.[8] In September 2013, Grenell announced that he had been declared in remission and was cancer free |

“Nigerians will always uncover impossible room for manoeuvre for politicians. In 2003, I chose Chuba Okadigbo as my running mate. He was a Roman Catholic. He was an Igbo. In 2007, I picked Edwin Ume-Ezeoke. He was a Roman Catholic. He was an Igbo. And in 2010, I chose even a pastor, Pastor Tunde Bakare. “Honestly, what do Nigerians want me to do? If they don’t believe I’m not a fundamentalist, what else can I do? The era of short-changing people in the name of religion should stop,” he had said. GMB, please note that, not every Christian leader has the discerning ability of Jesus Christ, to discern a craftily designed betrayal, hidden in the kissing lips of Judas sent by the Sanhedrin, the enemies of Jesus Christ. The names of those you mentioned above, are the present days greedy JUDASES, looking for the present days SANHEDRIN to sell away the followers of Christ under their control for a price. They shall end up like Judas, their senior brother unless they hasten their repentance. |

OLADD: I love this, most especially the last point. Buhari is free to choose christians as his running mate but I get disgusted wen he goes for pastors. It show that he is desperate and has something to cover up. He is trying so hard to show the public a well diversified part of him but im no fool. I as a christian have nothing against a muslim, infact I have muslim friends who i can vouch for even in this trying times (boko haram) in our nation but I also know the extent some muslims can go to enforce an agenda. Now some people say we are saying Buhari is a fanatic but are we christians not worse fanatics going for sunday service, mid-week service, preaching salvation all the time etc. There is nothing wrong been a fanatic or an extremist but the difference is this some christians can be extremist, sold out to God but not bloody. Our bible does not say we should kill for the sake of religion. When we preach salvation and the person says we dont want we leave the person and continue in prayers for that person, but the extremists who are muslims can go to any length even recruiting the future leaders of our nation to do their dirty job and shedding of blood to enforce their agenda thats why the fanaticism of buhari is a worry for people. Haba, look at the case of a Jihadi John, a promising young man who has turned himself into something else all for the cause of islam. Some are saying ow can one man islamize me, islamize nigeria well you must be blind to the happenings in the middle east by ISIS to whom boko haram has pledged allegiance to. Since its my vote and considering affliations with buhari and boko haram in the past and how he handled it, I wld rather vote for the lesser devil and avoid stories that touch. Remember people we are not against muslims, infact wen Yaradua contested in 2007, people gladly voted for him. If APC gave the presidential position to people like fashola I probably wld have voted for APC but the circumstances around Buhari is just so shaky. |

Re: Electing Buhari As President, Disaster For Africa – ex US Envoy by Revolution: 6:32pm On Mar 21, 2015 |
egobetatoday: Of course. If what everyone one has to say should be given equal weight and importance then we might as well elect a mechanic or suya seller as president of Nigeria and let him tell us the way forward. Do you think the US cares what a former Nigerian spokesman has to say. You will never find it published in a US or UK paper, even a former Nigerian president doesn't get much coverage, let a lone a spokesman. But in Nigeria just because an Oyibo man says something it is carried in the papers as if it is news. If the man had said electing Jonathan would be a disaster would it have been carried? The news has been published because of political reasons because the man in a nonentity as far as Nigerian or world politics is concerned. |

smiley15: Nice points. To further corroborate how suspicious Buhari is, do you know that Nda-Isaiah (the only APC Christian presidential aspirant from the north) has never partaken in Buhari's campaigns all this while? If Buhari is really truthful in his religious stance, he ought to have given a prominent role to Nda-Isaiah in his campaigns instead of fooling the nation with a choice of Christian VPs. I am not a religious bigot either but closing our eyes from Buhari's pranks is too inimical for the nation. I would rather listen to Nda-Isaiah than a puppet called Osibanjo. May Buhari never rule Nigeria again. |
Re: Electing Buhari As President, Disaster For Africa – ex US Envoy by Revolution: 8:08pm On Mar 21, 2015 |
OLADD: Are we talking about the same Sam Nda-Isaiah? Sam Nda-Isaiah refers to General Buhari as his model and political leader. See recent entry on Sam Nda's facebook page below
