I had a talk with this guy at the Polling Station.
He follows me on Twitter.
He said, "So you're going to vote for BAT! I'm disappointed you're supporting a Muslim/Muslim ticket!"
I told him he shouldn't be disappointed in me: I didn't appoint him in the first place...

He then said, "I am voting for Peter Obi!"
I said, "Ok!"
Him: "Do you know why?"
Me: "I don't care to know, really: it's NOT my business."
Him: "I'll tell you, anyway: I'm voting for him because he's a CHRISTIAN!"

I laughed!

He got ANGRY (do you notice they're ALWAYS angry?)

"Why are you laughing, sir?"
Me: "Your submission made me laugh: Peter Obi a Christian?"
Him: "Yes, he is!"
Me: "When did he become one?"
He had no idea what I meant!
"Ok, let me break it down for you: I became a Christian on the 29th of November, 1987 in Jos..."

Him: "Were you a Muslim before?"
Me: "No."
Him: "What were you?"
Me: "I was what you are right now!"
Him: "I'm a Christian!"
Me: "I'll ask you same question: when did you become one?"
Him: "I was born a Christian!"
Me: "Nobody was born a Christian, bro."

Him: "I was born into a Christian family: my parents are Christians!"
Me: "That you were born in a garage does not make you a car!"

You can't be born a Christian. Christianity is like marriage: you can't be born married!
You go through a PROCESS to become married...

So do you go through a PROCESS to become a CHRISTIAN.
I then told him about my Salvation Experience, how I became s Christian. He had NEVER heard that before!

I think the biggest lie being bandied about this guy is that he is a Christian.
Going to Church doesn't make you one...

But unfortunately, our Pastors have bought into this charade.
Peter Obi is no more a Christian than ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU is a Muslim.

I don't pander to religious sentiments when taking political decisions.
I once asked a friend who he'd prefer as President:

Donald Duke or Jolly Nyame.
"Harry, this is a no-brainer: Duke is much better! No be Nyame dem jail for stealing?"
I then told him Duke is a Cross Bearer (Grail Message) but Nyame is a Reverend.

Then I asked again who he'd prefer as President.
He couldn't respond this time!

He had picked Duke over Nyame a few minutes earlier: but when he heard about their religious persuasions, he got confused!
He didn't want to pick Duke again because of his religion: & he didn't want to pick Nyame because he was a convicted thief, despite being a Reverend!

See how religion blinds people?
We are just too religious in this country: in my opinion, religion is our biggest problem.
Followed by tribalism.
People hear my name (Haruna Daniels) & throw 2 questions at me:
1) Are you Christian or Muslim?
2) Where are you from?
My response?

1) I'm an Architect.
2) I'm from Nigeria.

Shikena!

You don't need to know more than that: don't judge me through lenses biased by religion or tribe!
I'm a human being, a Nigerian Architect: that's all you need to know!
May Nigeria be better for us all.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬
