Over the weekend in Nigeria 🇳🇬, one of the most prominent Muslim clerics gave a speech at a mass wedding attended by the governor of Kano State.
Sheikh Yahaya Jangir.
He said Muslims should show political “dominance” over Christians.
Called Christians “infidels.”
This is why Christians are so persecuted in northern Nigeria.
It isn’t just terrorists. It’s prominent religious and political leadership.
Sheikh Jangir is based in Jos, Plateau State.
Perhaps the epicenter of persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

I am deeply concerned by the comments made by Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir at an event in Kano this weekend.
At this critical moment in our nation’s history, statements that promote division and disunity must be firmly discouraged. It is particularly troubling to hear such rhetoric from a religious leader of Sheikh Jingir’s stature and influence.
Let it be clearly stated: the good people of Kano do not endorse or support these divisive remarks.
Political and religious leaders alike carry a solemn responsibility to uphold truth, foster unity, and advance reconciliation. We must not lend our voices to utterances capable of undermining the very foundation of our nationhood.
The 2027 general elections will be an opportunity for Nigerians to reward good governance with resounding support and to reject poor performance at the polls. This administration has earned the latter.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. - RMK
Sheikh Jingir’s Statement on the Muslim-Muslim Ticket Belongs to Him, His Belly and His Pockets – Yusuf
The statement reeks of religious bigotry, and a leader of that stature, given the length of time he has been an Islamic cleric, should know that just a word from him can sink Nigeria. It is unacceptable.

I just learned this morning that Bryan Eze qualified for the International Economics Olympiad in China to represent Nigeria, but the Ministry of Education said that there is no money to sponsor him.
They approached the Ebonyi State Government for support and the government said that they are not interested. So he missed it.
I became curious after he won the Sterling Bank National Online Maths Quiz yesterday.
This is heartbreaking.

"They want you to believe voting me means abandoning your region. Nonsense. My presidency won't pick winners and losers—every part of Nigeria will eat. South, North, East, West—all included. Full stop."

"We should refuse to agree that this is Nigeria, where:
-Nothing works
-Certificates are forged and it's ok
-Elections are rigged and you're told to Go-To-Court
These things have consequences"

He's been consistently consistent!
