TO OUR RELIGIOUS BIGOTS- Buhari Appoints Pastor Tunde Bakare to Head Transition Commitee

To our religious bigots, Buhari; the president elect's first step towards islamizing Nigeria is the appointing of Pastore tunde bakare of Later Rain to head transition commitee.

This goes to my dear brethrens that do not want to see anything good in GMB, I hope we can all see the first step of GMB towards the islamization of our nation. God's ways are totally different from our ways and His thoughts are totally different too. The day we stop see ourselves as a christain or muslim, yoruba, igbo or hausa will obviously be the beginning of greatness for our country Nigeria.

Bakare was Buhari's running mate during the 2011 general elections. Buhari at the weekend had hinted that only credible Nigerians would make up the transition committee, as part of the first steps to chart an entirely new path for the country.

The Transition   committee is expected to  meet with a similar committee from the presidency on the handover from the Goodluck Jonathan administration to the incoming Buhari  government

Why Celebrate a Child Who’s About to Write his Exams... Such Should Come When he Has Written and Passed - Etcetera Writes In Respect to Buhari

Why are we in any way dancing and joyous? Why do we keep rolling out the drums each time we have a new government, only for us to start crying few months down the line again? Is it that we are too quick to forget or we just love to dance? Do you celebrate a child who’s about to write his exams or the one who has written and passed? What is this jubilation for? Because I really don’t understand. Is it that the election of Buhari in itself has suddenly alleviated our sufferings? I am really confused here, hearing how six bikers lost their lives in Zaria celebrating Buhari’s victory.

One would think that a people who have been short-changed for so long by past presidents will know better to be calm and take every word of the new president with a pinch of salt until he proves to be different. This process is becoming an unending circle, again and again we’ve danced and again and again, we’ve cursed and cried at the end.
