When an
ethnocentric and religious bigot presides over a secular country, systematic
efforts to outlaw all other religions except the bigots religion takes center
stage (such as the present instance of exclusion of all other religious associations except the
Islamic Muslim Student Society of Nigeria in a university funded from state treasury).
This effort
at religious cleansing by the Umar Musa Yar'Adua University, Katsina State, is merely
one of several of its kind going on simultaneously across the country
masterminded by government agencies. Other manifestations of religious bigotry (some of which have taken place with explicit support and or encouragement of Nigeria's Federal Government, include: Ethnic and religious cleansing, interference
in the management of Christian religious organizations, demolition of Christian
places of worship, abolition of Christian association from educational
institutions and other public forums, and so on. These efforts will continue
and perhaps only abate when frontally confronted.
FREEMIND and
the various media associated with it and FB Page had, prior to the 2015
presidential elections, severally warned Nigerians of the character and persona
of Mr. Buhari prior to the 2015 general elections. Now as religious bigotry
manifests in high political offices in Nigeria, and the highest political
office for that matter, Nigerians and the rest of the interested international community
should brace themselves for what portends to be a most turbulent period – as there
is bound to be resistance to the unfolding evil.
For any
still interested in keeping the Nigerian contraption as an entity, the very
first steps must be how to, within the provisions of the law, get the Muhammadu
Buhari-led junta and its ethno-religious extremist mannerisms out of office as
soon as possible.
Restructure and
Renegotiate the Nigerian contraption whilst there is yet time.....
