Yes gunmen can not stop Nigerian elections. You are damn right. They must not be allowed even if they can. Images of Nigeria in recent days have been badly damaged by the failure of the Africans to rally round Nigeria as we always do during our fellow continent nations difficulties.
The attacks from those fanatic Christians and Muslims to preach for moral grounds in a country in need first of unity and common goal is immoral. I have been visiting the African Muslim website esinislam.com for the past tow week everyday. I am depressed to read the Africans like these still cannot see the division the religions are causing in our problematic continent is much more deadly than any morality they teach.
Forget about Christianity. Forget about Islam. these are foreign faith and opposite of all that Africa stand for. Democracy? Well why not. It’s more modern than both Christianity and Islam. So we can relate. Although the recent articles from esinislam.com are gradually rubbing me my trust in democracy, the alternative, however, is a no go area. Wars, discriminations, hatred, tribalism, all in the name of religion.
Enough is enough. We have suffered enough from foreign ways of lives. Can’t we leave things for the Obas, Emirs, and Obis?
Well, that’s my point. Our own traditions.
