Nigerians use the social media platforms differently, Facebook is where we do "amebo, aproko or gbeborun as it use to happen in "face me and face you house", so things that happen here is everybody's business and nobody's business" to say it in the language you people understand "open Gossip".
Twitter is where Nigerians "rake" for people most especially when it has to do with foreign affairs and foreigners. Go and ask Kenyans and recently a Ghanaian musicians that the headies people asked to come and eat jollof rice here only for him to start insulting our personality through one of the most cherished food of ours. While the Nigerians on twitters are playing the role of goo ambassadors defending the nation with all their data their counterpart on whasapps are something else.
The state of our unity either need to be strengthen or be broken down, it is saddening that right on whatsapps Nigerians spread the message of disunity and discord, messages that threaten our existences as a nation. This message alleged the plan of some people to Islamize Nigeria. The message is well written with facts and figures that you become convince that such plan exist? If you are not careful you will instantly become suspicious of your Muslim neighbors and see the need to be modern a "Crusader"!
The message buttressed that Christians in Northern Nigeria were going through severe persecution a situation which is so pathetic and requires urgent attention. The fact is that the persecution did not start today rather the Religious leaders in that part of the country have been managing their wound instead of treating it,winning and dinning with politician while citizens become martyrs on their own land in the name of Religion. A critical look at the 19 states in Northern Nigeria you will noticed only a fraction have this problem of Religious crisis. Should we now generalize and go with assumption that there is really a plan to Islamize Nigeria base on this?
While you are still thinking about that ,the next allegation is that most strategic post in this country are been occupied by Muslims and Northerners? Examples are given you begin to wonder if this is true? Names are mentioned and you begin to draw conclusion? Wait a minute have you noticed that that most Christian hide their Christian's name behind a traditional name there by silence it as initials. Apart from that the politicians of Islamic faith seems to be proud of their faith they associate with it at every opportunities. The most Politicians of christian faith seems not to be proud of their faith because their style do not depict Christ likes. Inspire of that they seems not to adopt the spirit of ecumenism in Christendom they are also driven by the dogma and doctrines of their various denominations. Our clergymen are not left out they seems to know how to anoint a Samuel and ditch a Saul on their own accord for the right tithe. So instead of being one in Christ; we seems to be divided in Christ.
One would have thought that our Christians politicians division will persist in vices but they often come together to do evil looting our national treasuries with some of their Muslim partners too. To crown it all ,any brothers or sisters in Christ who choose to stand for Values of Christianity is seen as odd worn out will be denied something juicy ?As it occur to you that most technocrats of Nigeria origin that are gaining appointments outside the shores of this country are mostly Christians. So, why are these people not recognised at home?
There is no agenda to Islamize Nigeria but reality on ground shows that the Nigeria may one day become a Muslim country if Christians in this country do not stand up for the principles of Good governance and as well shun vices. Let Politicians of Christian faith shun occultism and profess their faith , Let our clergymen speak the Gospel truth of Christ from the Altar and stop doing eye service. Above all let always pray for Nigeria because the nation is in distress.
