A MONSTER IN THE MAKING. !!
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS CREATING A MONSTER WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ILORIN KWARA STATE !!
I FORESEE A REBELLION DURING, OR AT THE NEXT ELECTION CIRCLE IF GOVERNMENT MAINTAINED THIS INORDINATE SILENCE OVER RELIGIOUS ISSUES ESCALATING DAY BY DAY !
HUMMM, I WONDER WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANT TO ACHIEVE WITH A DEFEANING SILENCE ON WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE COME OUT TO MAKE A PRONOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE SECULARITY OF OUT NATION STATE IN THE AREA OF RELIGION.
TO ME, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SHOWING A SECTION OF NIGERIANS WHO ARE FOLLOWERS OF SOME RELIGIONS HOW STUPID THEY HAVE BEEN AND HOW ANOTHER RELIGION IS THE PREFERRED RELIGION TO OTHERS.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS AND UTTERLY STUPID TO HAVE REMAINED SILENT IN THE FACE OF ONE DEADLY ISSUE THAT HAS CONTINUED TO THREATEN THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR EXISTENCE.
IF THIS LATEST RELIGIOUS CRISIS IS NOT ORCHESTRATED BY THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF, COULD IT HAVE BEEN ORCHESTRATED BY POLITICAL ‘JUGANUTS’ FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH INTERESTS, OR, HOW ELSE COULD NIGERIANS ENDURE THE SILENCE & QUIETNESS OF ALL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS VIZ-A-VIZ, THE FEDERAL HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE SENATE, AND ALL OTHER AGENCIES OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE MINDFUL OF HOW SENSITIVE RELIGION IS TO NIGERIANS AND LEARN SOME LESSONS FROM ZANGO-KATAF, AND VARIOUS RELIGIOUS CRISIS THATS HAS BEDEVILLED OUR GREAT NATION IN THE PAST.
KUDOS TO THE GOVERNOROF THE STATE OF OSUN FOR COMING OUT STRONGLY WITH A PRONOUNCEMENT, IT IS A SHAME, AND A BIG ONE AT THAT, THAT A SITTING GOVERNOR IN KWARA STATE REMAINED INDIFFERENT TO THE CRISES THAT STARTED ON HIS DOORSTEP WHICH IF NOT CHECKED, IS BOUND TO CONSUME THE ENTIRE NATION IF CAUTION IS NOT APPLIED QUICKLY ..
I SINCERLY HOPE KWARA WILL NOT BECOME THE NEW ZANGO-KATAF WITH THE TYPE OF GOVERNMENT WE’VE HAD IN THE LAST SIX TO EIGHT YEARS, WITH TWO MAJOR RELIGION FIGHTING OVER HIJAB AND COLLEGE ATTENDEES…..
I ADVISE THE GOVERNMENT AND PROMINENT PEOPLE IN KWARA TO HAVE A RE-THINK AND BE OBJECTIVE ENOUGH TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
KWARA STATE AS IT STANDS TODAY IS A MEMBER STATE UNDER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA AND ARE BOUND BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC WHICH CLASSIFY NIGERIA AS SECULAR IN RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION.
WHEN THE THEN GOVERNOR OF A NORTHER STATE CAUSED THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO ENACT SHARIA LAW IN HIS STATE, CHRISTIANS AND OTHER RELIGIOUS GROUP INCLUDING THE NON- BELIEVERS NEVER RAISED A VOICE OF REJECTION BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED IT IS IN THE RIGHT OF ISLAMIC FOLLOWERS TO FOLLOW THEIR RELIGION TO WHATEVER EXTENTS THEY DEEM APPROPRIATE, WHY THEN SHOULD A RELIGIOUS GROUP THINK OTHERS SHOULD NOT EXIST OR SHOULD DEFINE, OR DICTATE WHERE OTHER MUST GO OR NOT, IN A NIGERIA THAT BELONGS TO ALL OF US?
I HOPE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE FIRE WHEN ITS FULLY DEVELOPED.
A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE !!
