What do you think about this message to Christians many years back?
''We are people of many different races, tribes and
religions, who are knit
together by common
history, common interests
and common ideals.
Our diversity may be great but the things that
unite us are stronger than the things that divide us.
On an occasion like this, I
always remind people
about our firmly rooted
policy on religious
tolerance. Families of all creeds and colour can rely
on these assurances.
We have no intention of favouring one religion at
the expense of another.

We have no intention of favouring one religion at
the expense of another.
Subject to overriding need to preserve law and order, it is our
determination that everyone should have
absolute liberty to practice his beliefs.
It is befitting on this momentous day, on behalf of my ministers
and myself, to send a
special word of gratitude
to all Christian missions.
Let me conclude this with a personal message. I
extend my greetings to all our people who are
Christians on this great
feast day. Let us forget the difference in our religion and
absolute liberty to practice his beliefs.

ReplyDeleteYou don't what you are saying. Is this not the same that is on record (video) saying back then that they will rather hire expatriates from abroad then hire fellow Nigerians from southern Nigeria to fill vacancies in northern Nigeria?

ION my boo couldn't come home for the holidays. But that's part of the issues dating a uniform absentee guy. I'm stuck,lonely and bored in abuja. Been in bed all day refresh on this blog,read all comments.
DeleteBut I just got an alert. boo sent me some cash enough to buy a drink,get a decent meal and go to bed a little horny but who cares. Sex with him is worth the wait.
God bless my boyfriend,my man,my smile!
It's not the cash, it's d gesture I feel cared for,thought about and loved.
So though I'm lonely(and may be in more years) but love goes beyond physical presence.
I love u SHUGARR!
Hmmm......i sincerely hope Nigeria can be completely united again.....MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...
ReplyDeleteHow I wish Nigerians reason dis way but I pray one day, we all will be united.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish extremists and terrorists read this..
ReplyDeleteOne Nigeria! Peaceful coexistence amongst one anoda,tolerance nd respect/appreciation of one's religion.

DeletePls don't be deceived by these pple who have been paying lip service to NIgeria's unity/development since inception.
ReplyDeleteThis same PUNK when interviewed by a white journalist sometime in the 60's about jobs placed Northerners and expatriates(including the interviewing journalist)above all other NIgerians.
These Morons set the tone for the rot in our country today
YouTube this movie "THE REAL STORY OF NIGERIA"
A million likes for this comment. Aptly put.
DeleteBoko Haram should read this and learn! Bloody learners!
ReplyDeleteU can watch the short clip showing Ahmadu bello himself if u don't want to watch the whole movie
ReplyDeleteEnjoy
Now this was a real Patriot.
ReplyDeleteHEY STELLA CAN YOU UPLOAD THE KMART JOE BOXER COMMERCIAL FROM YOUTUBE. IT A HILARIOUS CHRISTMAS AD. DANKE
ReplyDeleteThis fellow who could not tolerate Ibos. Watch Jide Olanrewaju's documentary. He was among those who sowed intolerance in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteonce upon a time ,great leaders
ReplyDeleteStella,u mean I should leave what am doing in the kitchen to read what this man wrote 200years ago? You must be joking.
ReplyDelete@ Alex Tony: You tube: "Why Igbo is being hunted by everybody: the real story of Nigeria": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrgUIgMlTrk
ReplyDeleteThe labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain...I will not fail when my time comes. So help me God. Merry Christmas dearest Stella,my superwoman.

ReplyDeleteStella... Merry Xmas o.
ReplyDeleteU no hear say Desmond Elliot dey date 2 blood sisters and say, Barack Obama and im wife wan divorce???
Abeg do ur research, nack us gist joor
Let there be peace
ReplyDeleteI weep for Nigeria. Gone are the days when we had true leaders who put their differences aside and made sure they worked with the interest of the people at heart. Now, all we have are greedy, clueless, visionless leaders.
ReplyDeleteThere is a difference between political intolerance, religious bigotry and ethnic sentimentality. These three issues are very important when critiquing people with diverse views. @Alex and Diggah should at least read the positive meanings in this message than read another one into it. Besides, what was the social context that prompted Ahmadu Bello's idea of the work labour for the Northerners and expatriate? Do not read things out of their context and also, try to make at least small meaning from positive things. A small black dot on a white cloth does not make the entire white cloth dirty. Try to see the other white parts of the cloth which is even 99.99% more than the black dot.
ReplyDeleteA typical Nigerian politician, reading from a prepared script, telling people to do what he doesn't do.
ReplyDeleteA Bigot preaching peace and tolerance {*covers face in shame*}
dis country go surprise pple soonest. God is in control pple 4rm oda countries will beg 4 nigeria visa
ReplyDeleteNna men,SDK leave Xmas rice "uproad" comments na.
ReplyDeleteBecause one is saying something does not mean that person is practicing what he is saying.
ReplyDeleteGen. Buhari could have as well written the above message to christians after instigating the killing of Youth corpers[ who were southern and Christians] because he lost a presidential election.
ReplyDeleteIt is not what these people say, but what they practice that matters.
If and when APC chooses Buhari as their flag bearer, i am waiting to see how they would expect the southern christians to vote for him.
olu@atlanta.
Stella I dont believe this statement...cos Sir Bello was somewhat a sectional leader...if true, then it is a pretentious statement.
ReplyDeleteThis same Sarduana was quoted to have said, 2 wks after independence,...“This new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Othman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the north as willing tools and the south as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future.” – Parrot Newspaper October 12, 1960.
