Sheikh Gumi's statement about not trusting Christians with Nigeria's security is regrettable and disturbing. We have come together as a country for 63 years, and this type of statement sets us back and builds distrust. We need competence and patriotism to tackle insecurity, not religious bias. Did Sheikh Gumi experience the kind of insecurity he saw in Kaduna under Nasir El-Rufai during the administration of Patrick Yakowa, a Christian? That, right there, disproves his theory.
How can he think that Wike will make the FCT an extension of Israel and people with beards will be killed? That type of thinking is unfounded. Wike has no power over the Army, Navy, Air Force, or the Paramilitary Forces. Those are squarely under the control of the Commander-in-Chief, who is a Muslim, like Gumi.
We have, to a large extent, successfully managed our diversity in Nigeria, and it will be most helpful if we do not allow the conflict in Palestine and Israel to cause us to hate each other. Nigeria is not Israel. Nigeria is a heterogeneous country that should serve as an example of peaceful religious coexistence to Israel if we get our acts right.

Eritrea President Isaias Afwerki: "They are printing money. They are not manufacturing anything at all, it's printing money. This has been one of their weapons globally - the monetary system... sanctions here, sanctions there... We need a new financial architecture globally."
Only one British football team has ever achieved true ‘immortality’ - the Arsenal Invincibles of 2003/4.
Trebles are so common both teams in Manchester have done it. Come back to me if City ever go a Premier League season unbeaten….
If you saw what happened in Port Harcourt and still believe Atedo Peterside’s poll that Peter Obi will win, I can bet you are one of those who also lost money to MMM. Your problem is gullibility. That is why you believe Buhari has been replaced by Jubril from Sudan
