It's Too Late For Nigeria To Break - Omeri

Date: 2012-08-28

Director General of National Orientation Agency, NOA, Mr. Mike Omeri and clerics from the Islamic and Christianity religions, have resolved that it is too late for Nigeria to break.

Their resolutions which occurred during a meeting titled:  "Special Interactive Session for Leaders of All Religious Groups in the State on Peace and Stability," they condemned all manner of violence against fellow Nigerians.

According to them, "Every religious leader in Nigeria should desist from preaching hate in their places of worship and that the unity of Nigeria is not in doubt."

Omeri said, "Though no Nigerian leader ever asked his followers to go to war against fellow Nigerians, they still have a duty to call such followers to order whenever they engaged in acts inimical to the nation’s stability.

"The culture, tradition and languages of the country particularly among our children have dissolved into themselves beyond any hope of the people to easily part ways"

The chairman of Kwara inter-religious committee, Alhaji Shaba Koro and his deputy, Chief Peter Olorunnisola (SAN), said that the state has a habit of ‘live and let live’.

They highlighted successful efforts of their committee since inception by the government to do and resolve every religious dispute in the state.

Similarly, the chief imam of Ilorin, Alhaji Mohammed Bashir who spoke through a representative said the Prophet had declared in the Holy Quran that no "Muslim will be accepted a believer if he hates or unleash terror on his neighbour."

He added that God also said that it pleases him to create men to belong to diverse religions and that it is only him that makes them change to anther faith, not by force by any other man.
