This is the kind of nation that I have always been promoting and educating about. Take a look at Jide Sanwoolu, a Christian, sitting and attentively listening as President Tinubu and other Muslims pray at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Central Mosque in Surulere.
He has not compromised his beliefs, and God will not reject him for this. He is living according to the Golden Rule that Yeshua taught us – to love our neighbors as ourselves.
This does not mean that he agrees with or accepts Islam, but it demonstrates empathy towards Islam. When there is an awareness and understanding of other religions, peaceful coexistence becomes more likely.
President Tinubu himself has attended numerous church services, including the Holy Ghost Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
That is why I have consistently advocated for Christian students to mandatorily study Islamic Religious Knowledge, while Muslim students should also be required to study Christian Religious Knowledge. Atheists and followers of African traditional religions should be given the option to study at least one of the Abrahamic religions.
In this way, we can build a new nation where we truly understand one another. It is a fallacy to believe that we can simply forget our differences. Instead, we should strive to understand them.
I hope my message is clear?
