Religious Tolerance in Nigeria

This video would be about three recent issues in the religious atmosphere in Nigeria. The Rebecca Blasphemy issue, The APC primary convention, and the eventual Muslim-Muslim Ticket as well as the Supreme Court Hijab ruling.
To address these raging issues, let us take a look at what non-Muslims, as well as uninformed Muslims, need to know in order to achieve the saner clime we all desire.

You captured it well. We need to be human and sincere. It baffles me how we got here.
The issues are no longer treated on its merits. Facts are twisted to suit hypocritical narratives.
Once upon a time, all the APC governors in the South West except in Ekiti were Muslims. The cry was that the political party and the process that produced those men was Islamic and the agenda was to islamize the region. Today, there is a mirror reverse. All the APC governors in the region except in Osun are Christians. What happens at this time is even more religiously schewed to the christians than it was 'mildly islamized' in the past if I can use the language of the bigots and agents of dissension.
Then, it was one christian governor and four christian first ladies. Today in APC, it is four christian governors and four first ladies. As at today, christian-christian ticket is being played in Ekiti and Ondo for governor and his deputy as well as in other states where Muslims are also indigenes. A governor in a state which never had a Muslim deputy declared the state as a christian state. He was hailed by his religious clerics for being courageous to be bold enough to declare for God. This has been happening and one Muslim governor decided to run his second term on a Muslim-Muslim ticket, islamization of democracy became the songs of praise!
A Christian Prof has been the registrar of JAMB for years. The Muslims found no fault or cried wolves when one apparently existed. Then, when, after these so long years in service, he was replaced by a Muslim. Heaven was almost let loose. It was an islamization agenda!
Today, we know where the former and the incumbent, although both are professors and proudly ambassadors of their respective faiths, stand in terms of integrity, honesty, accountability, diligence, transparency, commitment and selflessness to the national service. Many years into the second tenure of the islamist, we are yet to see islamization but we can see it as a shadow from fed-fat religious brotherhood to shelter greeds, corruption and mismanagement.
Are deliberate lies and propaganda also sactioned by religious books? Is mischief and insinuations part of the commandments for salvation in some religions?
Why these so much sentiments, hates and bigotry that dominate our sociopolitical space? How can one kind of our vegetables continually seek to displace the other on the meal's plate. Good governance is the key but equity and justice cannot be subjective. I have not heard christianization agenda from the Muslims. All the Muslim seek is equity, fairness, justice and respect for rights by whoever governs. But there seems to be no reciprocation from the other side. A Muslim does not deserve to aspire, live or ask but he must be character assasinated, bad mouthed and destroyed with an unfounded islamization agenda propaganda.
From 1999 till 2015, Christians have led the country as president in 14 of these 16 years. During these periods, democractic institutions were violated, bribery and budget padding were introduced into national assemblies and most importantly, integrity of electoral processes was compromised and elections were traditionally rigged. That regime brought voter apathy because election do not count. There were no reasons to vote as LGA were already emasculated. So, if we must truly ask, which religious leadership set the ground for the bad Nigeria of today? However, no one blamed it on religion or ethnic agenda.
Now that integrity of INEC is being restored, electoral act improved and the voting apathy is gradually being replaced with the confidence of the electorates that their vote would count, we no longer talk about merit but playing religious cards!!!!
With this much distrust, suspicion and false accusations because of religion and tribal indoctrination enthroned as the 'gospel of salvation', how can we work together to build a country already destroyed by common enemies united across faiths and tribes?
It is time to be fair, truthful, objective and tolerant if indeed we aspire for a vibrant and healthy nation of our dream.
Commercialization, politization and institutionalization of one religion as the religion of the government in a multi-religious society remains the three major cancer that continue to ail and hurt us.
Our socio-economic status would remain a global assault, our pride of a better life abroad as helpless victims of racism would go worse to qualify as a glorified and modern version of slave trades as long as we vote or appoint leaders, give or deny jobs and dispose to a fellow country men based on religious or tribal affiliations.
When competence and fairness have no place in the priority ranking, when merit and qualification are inferior to religious ideology or appearance, our yearning and aspiration for a changed Nigeria can only be a metaphor of a thirsty sparrow that devotedly perches near a burning fire whistling while hoping to get water. Can fire ever produce water even in the raining season?
God deliver us
