1. I remember my last visit to Nigeria. I decided to follow my nephew to his barbershop. When we got there, we were greeted by a commotion.

This was in Port Harcourt. Apparently, his barber is a Muslim from Osun State, but he attends the Salvation Ministry Church, Port Harcourt.

2. It’s interesting because this guy goes to the mosque on Fridays, then on Sundays, he attends church service.

Now some Muslim youths in his area (most of them cobblers), decided he was an apostate, & organized a mob.

3. It took the prompt intervention of my cousin (a colonel in the Nigerian Army), to disperse the irate mob.

Now seeing what’s going on between Muslims & Christians in Kwara state, my mind raced back to that incident in Nigeria.

4. Religion has done more harm to Nigeria. The political elites are complicit in fostering the politics of “religion, hate, & of ethnicity,” on Nigerians.

For a secular state like Nigeria, no religion should be seen as superior to the other or others.

5. I was born a Catholic. I was Baptist, received the sacraments in the same church. Today? I am more spiritual than religious.

I posses some gift of clairvoyance & I use it to help others. I have got friends who are animists & atheists. Some enjoy the quietude with Buddha.

6. Nirvana is something I cherish myself, sometimes. Religion is a personal journey with God. You don’t have to impose it on anyone. We are all interconnected by a cosmic force.

God does not our help. He can fight his battles. God is divinity.

7. As such, he is more than capable of handling his affairs.

If the Templar Knights still existed today, they would be outdated in a 21st-century Europe. The crusades by Christian Knights was something that should never have happened. Likewise the Jihad of the sword, by Muslims.
