This is serious.... Very serious... Nigerians must be wary of attempts at dividing us along religious and ethnic lines. Like my brother Richard Isedu pointed out and I quote: My broda please lets say it out loud. Theres no Islamic or Christian hunger, Islamic or Christian unemployment, Yoruba or Ibo or Hausa accident on bad road etc. We need to be wiser. Im sure we are by now anyway. This, and many others, are what my mentor Richard Akinnola II saw and he warned: My people, vote your conscience. Dont be manipulated. If your pastor says dont vote for a Muslim, ask him if Daniel served a saint; whether Modeccai did not serve King Ahaseurus and if Joseph was not a prime Minister under Pharaoh. This election is not about North versus South, nor is it Christian versus Muslim. It is about Nigeria and good governance. Dont allow politicians divide us. When they share money, they dont talk about religion. When they want donations from Aliko Dangote, they dont remember he is a Muslim. When they enter an aircraft, they dont ask the religious faith of the pilot. When their bosses are atheists, they dont resign from the job. When an Alhaji give them contracts, they dont reject it. They and their wives go to Dubai to spend money. Dubai is in United Arab Emirate but they have no problems buying houses in Dubai. But when it comes to politics back home, they say they want to ISLAMISE you. Yet, some of these people were spiritual consultants to Abacha. Vote your conscience. If you want to vote for Jonathan, vote for him based on your conviction that he has performed in your estimation and not because he is a Christian. If you want to vote for Buhari, vote for him because you feel disenchanted with Jonathan government, not because he is a Muslim. Say NO to bigotry. God bless Nigeria. I pray Nigeria and Nigerians come out of these trying times stronger and united in the days, weeks and months to come. And ever more... So far, Nigerians have been very impressive, matured and wise. We call for more of those. We also call for vigilance and for peace!!!
