| Religion will destroy Nigeria. |
Sometimes you can't help but feel Nigerian citizens deserve the governments they get.But then again,i don't think the man on the street is too bothered with all these nonsense,it's just some deluded people who have had too much to eat and out of touch with reality that come up with these nonsense and madness! Otherwise,if you are hungry and looking for a job and best education for your kids,what business is it of yours if your leader is a Baptist,Catholic or Anglican? I can't believe what i am reading,this is just madness! Who are these people and how ignorant ,uninformed and clueless can they be?
The Anglican Communion Bishops in Enugu state have opposed the Catholic-Catholic Gubernatorial ticket of the PDP in the state for next year's general election.
They are opposing a Catholic-Catholic ticket? What is next? We are opposing the candidates cos their
name both starts with an A? Total madness.Don't know when Nigeria became this mess!
Speaking to newsmen in Enugu under the aegis of the Enugu Ecclesiastical Province yesterday Dec. 17th, the Anglican Bishops led by Archbishop of the Enugu Ecclesiastical Province, Most Rev Emmanuel Chukwuma demanded that the Enugu chapter of the PDP, zone the governorship running mate slot to one of its members otherwise they stand the chance of loosing the Anglican Church's votes in next year's election.
“We the Anglican Bishops are crying and appealing that Anglicans in Enugu state will not tolerate marginalisation and should be giving the position of deputy governor of the state. For the position of governor and deputy governor to be Catholic/Catholic will not be acceptable to us. In the Federal level, people are not happy with Christian/Christian ticket, hence the president has taken a very good stand to return as President and pick a Moslem as his running mate. Why should Enugu State, therefore, nominate a Roman Catholic governorship candidate who we are not against and wanting again to nominate a Roman Catholic as the running mate? We Anglicans say no to this kind of arrangement. We are not in minority in Enugu state and we totally reject that intention and are warning that if they want peace to reign in this state and for them to enjoy our cooperation, it should not be Roman Catholic/ Roman Catholic ticket”the bishops said.
The Bishops went further to say that
“Former Governor of the State, Chimaroke Nnamani who served from 1999 to 2007 is a Methodist. He picked Okechukwu Itanyi, a Catholic as his Deputy. Nnamani handed over to Sullivan Chime who is Roman Catholic. Sullivan chose Sunday Onyebuchi, a Methodist or so, not an Anglican as Deputy. As they are going out, all those who want to become governor are Catholics and in the PDP, they are plotting to make their running mate a Catholic. We are saying give us an Anglican Deputy, otherwise you are looking for our trouble".
I know i keep saying it and i sound like a broken record,but Religion is gonna destroy Nigeria,if it hasn't already. As it is,we have lost a credible leader in Babatunde Fashola for the presidency or Vice presidency..who is next? The candidates are both handsome,we demand for a ugly VP? Don't rule it out.Anything is possible in Nigeria.
