One of the greatest problems we have in Nigeria is religion, as it has done us more harm than good.

Nigeria is a secular state in which all sorts of religions are practiced.
From Christianity to Islam, to Atheism, African traditional Religion and others.

Nigeria constitution guarantees freedom of worship, thereby there is no state religion in Nigeria.

In a multi ethnic, and religious country like Nigeria, there ought to be peaceful coexistence.
In as much as every religion should be accorded respect, and blasphemy avoided, there ought to be high level of tolerance among religious bodies …

By MarkAnthony Nze
These two factors are social malaise that have eaten so deep into Nigeria, and on the verge of ruininig the country, any time soon, if adequate measures are not put in place to checkmate them.
 
A society, nation, or country functions well above average without them.
 
I am not a tribal bigot. I am a full bred Igbo however any day, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso comes out to contest the presidential elections with Governor Rochas Okorocha, who is an Igbo man, and currently, my State Governor, I will give me unalloyed support to Kwankwaso just as I did

The Impostor, called Jubril Al-Sudani in Aso Rock
