I have lived in
- Lagos
- Adamawa
- Rivers State
- Abuja

- My sister speaks Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri.
- My dad speaks Yoruba, understands Hausa & Igbo
- My cousin is married to a Muslim from the North and she is Christian

I will be the last person you will rally behind religion and politics. Because I have deep knowledge about every region, tribe & religion in this country

In Nigeria
NOBODY can sell me a narrative for or against any tribe or religion.
I have been to 22 states in this country. I can drive in those states

Its hard for me to be a bigot because "remove the wood from your own eyes first before removing the wood from another person's eyes"

There is no region, no religion, no tribe, and no state in Nigeria that has shortage of anything bad. There is extremely high supply of stark foolishness and poverty in every state, region, religion and tribe in Nigeria

When you single out a state, religion or tribe to bash, it shows you are ignorant and its expected

Malam Yahaya Masussuka's murder shocked a Ghanaian friend so deeply that he fell ill for a week. He, two other friends, and I spent an hour discussing the case and, more generally, the state of preaching in Northern Nigeria. Thanks to algorithm-driven social media content, we are in for a bumpy ride.

My friend listens to Masussuka quite regularly. However, he and the two others cannot recall ever listening to other clerics, especially the ones Masussuka challenged, for more than a few minutes.

They rely on short clips that social media algorithms bring to their timelines, or the few-minute recordings the slain Malam played during his preaching sessions. To them, Masussuka had successfully "retired" all other scholars, so none of them preached today. I was astonished.

When I insisted that wasn't true, one of them said he had no access to the full versions of any other clerics' preaching anywhere. He said this while watching a feature-length, AI-generated film on YouTube!

Today is the second time I have written the name "Masussuka" on social media. I avoided the topic for two reasons. First, to reduce the controversy his mention often stirs. Second, I don't listen to him enough to do justice to some of his arguments.

Often, the short clips we encounter on social media may inform, educate and entertain us in many ways. However, they can also mislead, misinform and miseducate us.

Meaning is often context-dependent. Don't rush to judge people until you listen to the context in which they speak. Many mischief-makers cut short videos or audio clips of others to mislead or to trend. Our videos at A Wata Mahangar have been doctored for such sinister reasons.

I am not here to defend Masussuka or his rivals. I only want people to be more just. TikTok videos may not be sufficient to form an informed opinion about others, especially on polemic religious issues. Listen to both sides with an open mind. Above all, ask for God's guidance.

May He guide us to the right path, amin.

I feel obligated to debunk these lies.

I'm a Christian, and as much as I'm critical of radical Islam, I want to state that no Islamic bank or institution indulges in interest, especially the ones I know in Nigeria. If you want a free interest loan or want to buy a property way cheaper, buy it through a good muslim man or agency. Islam forbids interest on loans, and good Muslims try as much as possible to avoid such interest.

Let me tell you my two experiences:

1. Jaiz Bank: Back in 2019, I had a very big financial issue. I tried borrowing from other banks, but the interest was very high. At that time, if I had taken that loan from a conventional bank, I would have starved to death. I was already owed by another bank. So a friend of mine advised me to try Jaiz Bank. He told me how their interest works, but I didn't believe him at first. I also reminded him that I'm a Christian. He told me not to worry about it.

On Monday, the next week, I went to the bank and met customer care. She told me the criteria for giving out their loan. I was very comfortable with it and applied. Within five working days, I received the loan. And guess what, there was no interest on the loan because they understood that it was a little money and it was not for business. I later paid it back even before the 2 years duration they gave me.

2. Kebbi Savings and Homes: Back in July 2024, a friend of mine wanted to buy a house in one of the northern states because he was tired of roaming around with his family. He was transferred to Edo ( he works at NNPC), and his wife doesn't like staying in the South (reasons known to her). So he asked me to find a house for him to buy, and it should be in at least a Christian-dominated area. I searched houses up and down to no avail. The ones I got were too expensive. After a while, I came to understand that the agents were inflating the price behind the owner of the house. Imagine a house of 20m being for 40m. Exactly.

So one day, while I was searching for the house, I saw a sticker of Kebbi Savings and Homes, and I copied the number on my phone and called the customer care rep. He told me to visit their office, and I did. Talk to him about the specification of the house my friend need and he brought pictures and videos of the houses and showed me. I started asking the prices, and it shocked me. The same houses that were sold at 20M by Christian agents were sold at 10M. What even impressed me was the fact that the owner was a Christian, the house was located in the Christian-dominated area my friend requested, and it is way cheaper. Just to clear my doubt, when my friend showed interest, he called the owner of the house, and he came. He told me the specific price he told them to sell for. Let me boost your brain: the agency commission was just 2%, and you know what, because I brought them a customer, they gave me 200k.

The incidents shocked me and shed some light on Islamic tradition regarding loans and business for me. This is aside from the normal daily business I had with Muslims, who always turn out to be honest, unlike some Christians. Most northern Christians will tell you how honest these people are when it comes to business.

So please, be honest with your take on the said religion, even if you hate it.

Thank you.

@AbdallahHagos Engineer, I can swear this for you, the pressure you think will be on him doesn't exist at all. And if it does, it's from Ronaldo worshipers looking for a scapegoat.

[Gwani bukhari @Gwani_bukhari]

Allah said _"Kill them wherever you find them..."_ Qur'an 2:191

Christians always quote this verse, but they never ask the simple question: WHO IS "THEM"?

You cannot know who "THEM" if you don't read the verse before it.

Qur'an 2:190 says:
_"Fight in the way of Allah THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU but do not transgress."_

So "THEM" in 191 is NOT Christians. "THEM" is NOT innocent people. "THEM" is NOT your neighbours.

"THEM" Means The people who were fighting the Muslims, who expelled them from their homes in Makkah, who tortured and killed them.

That is why 191 itself says:
"Expel them from wherever they have expelled you.", so it's a counter attack and self defense.

Did Christians expel Muslims from Makkah? No.
Did Christians torture Muslims in Makkah? No.
That was the Quraysh idol-worshippers.

And they also hide the verse AFTER it.

Qur'an 2:192 says:
_"And if they cease, then indeed Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."_

Even with those attackers, the moment they STOP, we must STOP.
That is Islam.

And Allah makes it even clearer in another Surah:

Qur'an 4:90:
"So if they withdraw from you, and do not fight you, and offer you peace, then Allah has NOT given you any way to fight against them.

No way. No excuse. No permission, Islam did never ever give any Muslim right to kill any non muslim just like that.

The verses clearly said if they don't fight you and they offer peace, Allah has closed the door for you to fight them.

And this is how Allah commands us to treat Christians who live in peace with us:

Qur'an 60:8:
"Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes- from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly."

Allah Even praise Christians in Qur'an 5:82
"You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the muslims [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the Muslims are those who say, 'We are Christians.' That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant."

They are the "nearest in affection" to the believers. Because among them are priests and monks who are "not arrogant" unlike the Jews.

So don't let anyone fool you with one verse cut in half.

190 tells you WHO to fight.
191 tells you to defend yourself against them.
192 tells you to STOP when they stop.
4:90 tells you you have NO RIGHT to fight those who offer peace.
60:8 tells you to be KIND and JUST to Christians who don't fight you.

STOP INSULTING MUSLIMS and ISLAM
