I don’t think you guys know what you are playing with. You can call each other names and laugh about it now, but when you end up inciting hate as I read through your posts here and a real civil war starts in your country, you will regret what you are doing now.
Your religious and political leaders are trying to divide you between religious lines and you are helping them to do that, rather than standing up and saying ‘we are all Nigerians; never mind our tribe, region or religion. That’s the only stand that will save your blessed nation.
The foreign powers pushing the government to take certain decisions will abandon you when you start killing one another and reject you from running to their countries; so be careful. Our 11-year war in Sierra Leone was not even based on religious or tribal difference and see what we did to our country. The worst conflicts are those based on tribal and religious differences.
See Central Africa, Bosnia, South Sudan and Rwanda. To have a better knowledge of this, please watch the documentary/movie called ‘Hotel Rwanda’ or ‘Sometime in April.’ My heart bleeds when I read what you guys are saying because I know what this will lead to.
