  13. Putting into consideration our security situation, it will be imperative to deploy soldiers during the forthcoming election.
    But they should avoid being used to intimate citizens or rig the election.

  48. The president cannot unilaterally sign a law that will amend a Nigeria constitution to an Islamic State without passing through both National Assemblies after three readings. We have had some National Conference to mend the constitution and which one has seen the light of the day.

    At the Assemblies you have both major religion and also those that believe in other gods. All these will agree before such decision to Islamize Nigeria will possible.

    When Buhari was Head of State, he never took Nigeria to OIC or attend any of their meetings till date. But Jonathan have attended their meeting once since he became President.

    Every religion strives to get more followers. And on the Christian, we have held millions crusades where pronouncements have been made to converts every soul that agrees to Christian. Though from history the Muslim method have always being through the sword and blood but time have changed when that is not obtainable now. For example what has been happening in North Africa and Middle East, it is just a few MENTALLY DERANGED (less than 5% Muslim) that want JIGHAD. The war to stop these Elements are being fought by their fellow Muslims with less input by Western Forces.

    On Nigeria fight against Boko Haram, you have both Christians and Muslims soldiers and in our Allied Forces (Cameroon, Chad & Niger) on one front fighting these Terrorist. Tell me how possible is it to Islamize Nigeria? In the last 500 years, no Country have have been Islamize through the sword and blood. SO WHY NOW?

    Our great Country have been divided on Ethnic and Religion lines never seen before since the history of Nigeria by President Jonathan, his political associates including Pastors who establish and ran their churches for their family interest - family members takes over the church after the death of a Pastor(RCCG exclusive).

    President Jonathan government is a FAILURE and we need to campaign BASED on PERFORMANCE AND NOT RELIGION OR ETHNICITY. We have played politics on the above sentiments and our Country HAVE NEVER MOVED FORWARD. Should we continue to reason BACKWARD IN THIS MODERN ERA?

    On our economy being the largest in Africa, I still ponder on which economic indexes the government made their judgement? I was home the last time and I saw POVERTY BEYOND COMPARE. Who is fooling who?
