@alaafinibadan @keemskeems Bro! You said this a few days ago. You sef you understand why a predominately Christian ethnic group would be wary of Islam entering their society. Only very few societies like Yoruba has managed a balance.
Every freedom loving people wherever they may live, should fear islam practiced in its most detailed form, even muslims (if they want peace).
Its 1400 years history of carnage and the way its adherents have proclivity for violence is enough reason to hate and fear it.
@OmoIyaLati001 @ovie_nurudeen @UthmanTochukwu It truly is but na so we see am for Naija. Hopefully we will move from this way of living with each other but until I will treat anyone the way they treat me.
@OmoIyaLati001 @ovie_nurudeen @UthmanTochukwu No problem. I agree with you on most of what you said. I know say Naija matter dey quick to hot but I try to be civil if the other person is civil.
@OmoIyaLati001 @ovie_nurudeen @UthmanTochukwu It’s not good that he was insulted for being a Muslim but I won’t agree with commenters that comparing the level of bigotry in the East to that the North.
@OmoIyaLati001 @ovie_nurudeen @UthmanTochukwu Evil is Evil. That’s true. In a perfect society, you wouldn’t care about religion of any member of society but Nigeria is still very far from that reality. Anything and everything will quickly become either ethnic or religious so you have defend your people or be eradicated.
@OmoIyaLati001 @ovie_nurudeen @UthmanTochukwu No tribe is perfectly accommodating of other tribes and religions but some are better than others. And even if you say Yorubas are more tolerant than Igbo, you cannot say that Northern Muslims are more tolerant Igbo. The statistics and history does not support that assertion.
@OmoIyaLati001 @ovie_nurudeen @UthmanTochukwu as compared to the stories of what can only be described as ethnic/religious cleansing in the north. He has said he’s an Igbo Muslim. He’s been insulted but he does not fear death in the South East as Christians do in Southern Kaduna. It’s about scale not absolutes.
@OmoIyaLati001 @ovie_nurudeen @UthmanTochukwu Even the source you brought said it was a retaliation for the killings of Christians in the north.
Even with the fact that Christians were killed in the riots up north, one was killed in the one in Onitsha.
So again tell me how they are comparable?
@YungHusband_@HerRoyalNene Really? When there is a street named after a Yoruba man in Enugu because he was the first to build house there. You guys like to talk rubbish when you’ve never been to the East.
How many reports of Muslims being killed in the East vs Igbo’s being killed in the north?
@YungHusband_ Igbo people have never been Muslims before Europeans arrived even after Arabs brought it to North Africa. Same for most other black people south of Nigeria. Islam was brought to Africa along with the Arab trans Sahara slave trade
