How Gov Fashola & I Manage Our Religious Differences In Our Marriage - Wife by contactmorak: 10:20am On Mar 28, 2015 |
Speaking to Channels TV In an interview yesterday, First Lady of Lagos state, Dame Abimbola Fashola explained how she and governor Fashola have been able to manage their home despite their religious differences. Abimbola who is Catholic, while her husband, Fashola is a Muslim, has this to say; "We got married in the Church, the Catholic church, that is who I am, that's where you will take me from and that was done. But ever since then my husband has practiced his religion and I have practiced mine. There is no trouble whatsoever. My husband has his own part of the house where he prays, I have my own altar there with my crucifix and my rosary and everything and everyone is minding their own business. When its time for family prayer, we pray. I pray mine to the name of Jesus Christ while he prays in Allah's name & the children understand all that. My children are baptized and they go to church. When he wants them to go to mosque with him they go to the mosque with him." A lot of us need to learn from this. Who knows if both of them rejected each other based on religious bias, they might not have achieved such a great destiny? Mrs Fashola also revealed that to get her husband to do something she wants personally, he would ask her to put it in writing so that he would not forget and give it urgent attention. She said it has become important now that everything that she needs to be done has to be documented and passed to her husband because that is how he says he can manage the homefront and the state effectively. http://www.splendormag.com/2015/03/must-read-how-gov-fashola-i-have.html 8 Likes 1 Share

I have always loved and admired religion tolerance. And I've always prayed and wished for a Muslim lady for a wife. My friend's parents while I was in Secondary school were my role models and inspiration - married for over 30 years - the man an Imam/Alfa, while the woman a strong Christian women leader in her church. God please give me a Muslim lady for a wife - she does her thing, I do mine. 61 Likes 1 Share |

Fairgodwin:most times, parents/families are the issue. I was once so in love with a lady and she loved me equally, but the parents who are stunch muslims insisted we go our seperate ways. She cried and cried. I felt terrible too for months. 2 Likes |

contactmorak: You're right. I had a similar experience. Though we were still young and in secondary school, SS3 to be exact. Her mum, a Ghanaian Muslim and her dad a Nigerian Muslim from Kano. They threatened to kill her or take her to Ghana if ever seen with me again. Well, that has NOT deterred me from following/nursing my dream till this day. I want to prove to people (and my family/friends), that tolerating and accepting each other's religion and tribes (in totality) is not only POSSIBLE but way way ATTAINABLE! So help me God! 18 Likes 2 Shares |

XBLadez: See this Dodomu. That is the typical life of Lagosians. Any Lagosian Christian that is intolerant must have learnt his intolerance from the imported Easterners. They are the major sponsors of Christian Extremism and intolerance in Nigeria. To them, any Abdul is a Terrorist. 29 Likes 1 Share |

Muslim and catholic has little difference. In fact history has it that Muhammed learnt most things from the Catholic church which was then practicing the backsliding form of ChrisTianity. Things like Fatima, repeating prayers with beads, scapula(a talisman-looking object hung around the waist or neck), etc are practiced by both faith and not in the Bible 13 Likes |

This is not the first time Mrs Fashola is saying this, and I really admire her and Mr Fashola for this. My fiancee is a muslim too and I'm Catholic. I don't think I have an issue marrying her in a mosque but I doubt if that is possible because I won't change my religion because of her. I am not compelling her to change her religion either. We intend to do a trado and a court wedding with a big reception. The Fashola's are progressives. For Mr Fashola to allow his kids baptism shows he is not in any way a bigot. I would have voted Fashola anyday anytime should he come out for presidency. But unfortunately, he is not. 8 Likes |

Card readers were apparently failing often at a polling booth. And the guy couldn't understand why...cos the readers were all new. So he approached the INEC woman. Inspected the reader. Only to find the protective film on the lense of the reader had not been removed. After a protracted argument he convinced the woman to remove it. The reader not only read the prior rejected cards, it was reading with even faster response time. Please share. It could help a lot. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Fashola is merely a muslim politically. It's quite obvious he is tilted to christianity. 3 Likes |
