Let me ask you to be reflective and honest for a moment; think back, think deep, the ones who have hurt you most, disappointed you most and robbed you most, are they not the ‘religious ones’? Whether Christians or Muslims. You remember that brother or sister in your church/fellowship or that fellow faithful in your mosque, how he leveraged on religion and your naivety to dupe you, slander you and sometimes even tried to kill you. That’s the same experience you will have in the next four years following 2015 elections if you vote based on religious sentiments. Religion can easily be used as a sanctimonious façade to perpetuate the most evil, sanction incompetence and entrench corruption. You and I are the ones depriving ourselves of quality leadership and quality choices at the polls through our frivolous expectation of the religious affiliation of the contestants as if that is what will fix power, guarantee security, give access to quality education, infrastructural development, stem corruption and guarantee you and your neighbours at least the first three steps in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Nigerians, the ball is in your court.
