WE NEED EACH OTHER
Religion is a thing of the mind; it’s strictly between you and your God. There is no compulsion in it. For instance a man toasting a lady will do everything possible to win her heart, a driver or conductor looking for passenger will put his life online to stop vehicle for u to cross the road, collect your hand bag and call you sweet names irrespective of your age, a business warmly receive his customer, even stand for you to sit down. A husband that want to make love with his wife will not slap her because his wife, a doctor in the hospital pamper his patient, den why can’t we apply all this sweet approach in our religion. Who told Christians that it’s only Christians that will enter heaven, who told Muslims that it’s only Muslims that will enter? If you love God and your religion you will not even hurt anybody because of religion.
A non-muslim was report to enter heaven just because during Ramadan he woke the Muslim up to prepare for fasting. A Muslim was reported to have entered hell because he locked his pet and the pet died of hunger. The woman that born a baby with the Holy Quran in Lagos was not a Muslim faithful. You are fighting for God or religions how clean are you.
Our prophet SAW said he had fought jihad and Islam has come to stay, no one should do that again, you can fight jihad within yourself. When God Almighty said you don’t have any right to take your own life is it the life of your brother or sister that you have the right to take? Islam doesn’t only preach peace but a religion of peace. The same thing to Christianity. Every Muslim are asked to count 40 houses from your front, back, left and right and live harmoniously with them irrespective of their faith. In Christianity when someone slap you, you are asked to turn the other side for the person, all these are aim at fostering peace and harmony. We have just politicised the two religions, ignorantly and stupidly thinking we are fighting for God. U ARE ON YOUR OWN (OYO). You are agent of the devil. GOD IS LOVE, and he LOVES PEACE.
When an Igbo man is talking of division also ask them if u think u are comfortable by returning back to your home why are u still in the north looking for greener pasture upon all these trouble, there is nowhere in Nigeria you go today that you will not meet an Igbo man doing his business no matter how hidden that village is, if it is because of oil, when a farmer thinks because he produces food every other person should go to hell let us see how comfortable he will be with those product, he wants money and he has to sell them to make money so we need each other. If Nigeria can’t remain one so it will continue to split, WILL CALABAR MAN LIKE TO BE IN SAME CAMP WITH THE IGBO MAN? No.
When an Hausa man thinks because there are non indigene in the North one cannot do without them, do they know that its strangers that develop a place, most of the developed towns in d north are developed by the non indigene, why is it that whenever there is crisis it’s the non indigene that are always victim? Most of those money use in developing the North are from oil, what happen to their groundnut pyramid? If they think that they are island of themselves why is Babagida Aliyu of Niger state complain of not increasing their monthly allocation, where did he thinks the money is coming out from? How many of them are generating revenue internally? If Nigeria is to divide today do they think that the middle belt will like to go the same way with them? No.
Peace is like salt in the food, without salt the food is tasteless. if a husband think because he is the bread winner and he cannot tolerate his wife and drive his wife because of trivial misunderstanding, the day he will come back home and drink garri, or no motherly care on his children then he will realise that they need each other. if a woman thinks because there are other men out there admiring her and decide to separate from the husband because of trivial misunderstanding, the day those men mess her up, the children are missing her, no umbrella is covering her again and he is been beaten by rain and sun then she will also realise that they need each other. Can children brought up in broken homes be the same like the other one brought under the tight care of both parent? NO.
Finally lets the religious leader help to promote unity, hence we are now fighting because of religion as we are so religious and people are still busy buying burglary proof, kidnapping and all evil vices prevail in our land, whom are we deceiving?, the religious leaders have much to play in this matter if truly they are for GOD, they see truth but they don’t say it, how many of our religious leader today will look at our public office holders in the eye and tell them, YOU ARE NOT PERFORMING? none, they are only after what comes to their pockets, Everyone wants to make heaven and earth.
we really have to join hands together to foster peace and harmony in our land, our leaders are our enemy number one, we are just suffering in the midst of plenty, who told u that Jonathan is the messiah, he is a product of visionless party. MAY GOD HELP US.
Salamu Alaikum my brothers and sisters in Islam, peace be unto u my Christians brothers and sisters, lets wake up and embrace peace, WE NEED EACH OTHER.
