Any Attempt To Islamise Nigeria Will Lead To Unending War – Oyedepo
Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church worldwide has warned that any attempt by any group to Islamise the country or any drive of Islamic supremacy will lead to unending crises.
The Bishop said this in his address titled The True Value of Education at the 12th convocation ceremony of the Covenant University owned by the Church in Otta, Ogun State.
According to him, for Nigeria to have peace there must be justice while maintaining that for Fulani herdsmen to abandon their cattle and engage in gun shooting training, possess enough funds to purchase ammunitions, then something is wrong somewhere.
“”I can’t imagine how herdsmen would abandon their cattle and go for training on how to use guns and other ammunitions they use to perpetuate their heinous crimes.
The forces behind this wanton destruction shall be exposed, Nigeria will not know war again and the land will stop drinking blood”, he said.
The Chancellor of the Covenant University stressed that the true value of education is in creating solution adding that no value in any education that does not add value to humanity and leave the world a better place.
“We are cumbered with economic challenges, poor educational infrastructure, unemployment, the only way to tackle these is to possess the contributors’ mentality and add value to humanity”, he said.
The keynote address speaker, Ms Cecilia Akintomide, former Vice President and Secretary General, African Development Bank spoke on Leadership by Products: The Role of Universities.
She charged universities to produce graduates, generate knowledge through research and disseminate knowledge all for the ultimate objective of improving lives.
The keynote speaker charged the graduating students to impact their society, see challenges confronting the country as huge opportunities and never to accept mediocrity.
“I urge Nigerian universities to engage in research for the purpose of speeding up the pace of development by exploring collaborations and partnerships with institutions and private sector because research is another product that defines a university’s leadership status”, she said.

Islamisation of Nigeria!!!!
Religious alarmists are poor students of history
who deliberately refuse to grow in tolerance.
1. In the late 1980s, Christian Association of Nigeri
(CAN) claimed that a TV news reader on NTA,
Hauwa Baba Ahmed’s covering of her head and chest ‘is an attempt’ by the FG to ‘Islamise Nigeria’.
Between that period and now, a lot of women
news readers and presenters have worn head and
chest covering scarf on national and states-owned
TV stations, yet Nigeria has not been Islamised.
2. Also, in 1980s, the same CAN vehemently opposed the idea that public schools close at 1 p.m
on every Friday to allow Muslims observe Jumat
service. CAN claimed that such closing time for
public schools ‘is an attempt to Islamise Nigeria.’
Between that period and now, public schools have
been closing at 1 p.m every Friday, yet Nigeria has not been Islamised.
3. When Nigeria became a member of OIC, the same
CAN cried wolf again that it ‘is an attempt’ by the FG
to ‘Islamise Nigeria’. Several decades after, Nigeria is
still a member of OIC, yet the country is not
Islamised. 4. When the CBN was preparing to licence Islamic
Banking few years ago, CAN led the media
campaign against that policy with the same usual
alarm that it ‘is an attempt’ by the FG to ‘Islamise
Nigeria’. As at today, in addition to few Islamic
finance houses in operation, there are some regular established banks that also have Islamic banking
desks. Nigeria is still yet to be Islamised.
5. The current issue about teaching of CRK and IRK
in public schools is giving CAN another opportunity
to raise its addictive false alarm. The new school
curiculum allows every child a freedom to be educated in religion of choice. Again CAN and other
Christian leaders are saying it ‘is an attemp by the
FG to ‘Islamise Nigeria’.
Advise:
CAN should be advised to learn religious tolerance
from Muslims of the Southwest. For nearly a century until recently, Muslim students
at public schools in the old Western Region, and
what later became southwest, including Lagos had
no freedom of religious knowledge choice.
Christianity was the only religious knowledge
taught in public schools. In fact the assembly prayer sessions in the morning was compulsorily in
Christian Lord’s prayers for all students irrespective
of faiths.
In a Western Region of that era and even later
decades of the 1970/80 that had Muslims and
Christians almost evenly spread, the Islamic leadership of the region were tolearnt of the
Christia faith. The Muslim leaders did not raise
aalarm over Christinisation of Nigeria.
CAN and other Christian groups should be told in
clear language that Nigeria is multi-ethnic-religious
nation. And no sIngle group can blackmail the other to submission by raising false alarm.
God Bless Nigeria. Amen.

Imagine such words from a so-called leader. Bring it on if you think you got the balls.
Of all the privileges the Muslims did to you people, you still open your gutters and rant shit.
Your fellow Christian miscreants killed muslims leaders on several occasions without them uttering a word, yet you are talking about islamization & war.

THINGS HAVE FALLEN APART IN NIGERIA: THE CENTRE CANNOT HOLD Nigeria is officially on Amnesty International watchlist, having been dropped as a country fighting corruption. Nigerians must have thought they could fool the world, only to end up being the FOOLS. The world watched Nigeria try to rig every rerun election in Rivers State and every other state under PDP. The world watched Nigeria tell lies about the health of her President. The world watched the APC government renege on all the electioneering promises. The world watched Nigeria government try to crush Shia Muslim sect and imprison all perceived political enemies. Yes, the world watched Nigeria disobey Court Orders, hold Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in detention for years with impunity. The series of khaki invasion and gunning down of unarmed Biafra agitators in Port Harcourt, Aba, and Anambra in the glare of international bodies revealed the true image of Nigeria. Nigeria is for beasts and savages, not humans. How can a lying, bloodthirsty, nepotistic, and budget padding Nigeria continue to assume airs that she is fighting corruption? Good riddance to piffle! Dear Biafrans, be bold to evangelize. We are children of the Almighty God – Chukwuokikeabiama, Tamuno, Tamara, Abasi, Oghene. Everything that has happened to Nigeria these few months are karmic. Karma, the retributive natural law, has come to take its POUND OF FLESH from a demonic suppressive and oppressive enclave called Nigeria. The blood of our Biafra martyrs is crying out. A country that arrested Cosmos George Oto’obong just because he clamoured for the restoration of Biafra must collapse. I am worried that an intellectual like that was imprisoned without a charge. I am so worried that a lettered royalty like Prince Nnamdi Kanu was unjustly locked up in our pigsty-like, squalid prison facility for years because he wants his own nation. Yes, I am worried that our beloved brothers and sisters were killed for no other reason other than their agitation for Biafra. May things go from bad to worse in a country where bloodletting has become a way of life in Jesus’s name. Amen. Nigeria is crumbling before our own eyes. God is doing His thing. There is no rest for the wicked. Lootocratic politicians, your days are numbered. God is judging everyone. Biafra has come to stay. Restructuring will not change the high cost of goods in the markets. Restructuring will not fix the devalued Naira. Restructuring will not bring back the lives that were taken by the godless Nigerian khaki. Restructuring will not return the $15m late Sani Abacha asked the CBN to be transferring from our national coffers to his overseas accounts on daily basis. Nigeria will have no peace until REFERENDUM is given to our sister regions. We must go! We have divorced Nigeria for good. Fellow Biafrans, remain focused. Continue to say a loud no to the zoo politics. Let us take the message of Biafra restoration to the traditional rulers and community associations. They are all waiting for us. Speak to someone about Biafra today. Become a veritable tool for the evangelism of Biafra today. Thanks be to the Almighty God that we are all alive. All hail Biafra! Shalom.

Bishop good morning if you are just waking up to the fact that the process of islamization of your one Nigeria has been on for a very long time.Don-t you know that the constitution of your Nigeria has every aspect of Islam covered Don’t you know that your Nigeria is a member of O.I.C ? Are you not aware that your president Buhari included nigeria among coalition of Arab conuntries to fight terrorism etc. Maybe you’re waiting for a day a demon will anounce with trumpet that Nigeria has been islamized then it will be too late to cry when the head is off. that’s why people like Nnamdi kanu, Fani Fayode,Gov.Fayose and Biafrans have been talking,agitating and suffering but they are regarded as people that don’t kwow themselves. Verbum sat sapienti. i e A word is enough for the wise.
