    Alhaji Abba Mahmoon in his Column, "The Mad Rush for 2015",did not lose a word on the real threat to our nation,which is his crack pot religion of peace,Islam. The Hausa/Fulani muslims are hell-bent in their quest to Islamise our country. IBB unitlaterally made Nigeria muslim country by registering Nigeria with IOC.Nigeria is also a members of such Islmic Organizations like G8 and G15.There is Nigerian Sharia Movement.Members of its military wing, the Boko Haram sect,are out there slaughtering innocent Christians,burning and bombing Christian places of worship. Within our secular Republic,the Hausa/Fulanis are in violation of section 10 of our Constitution, running their mini-Theocratic Islamic Republics with sharia. In fairness,now that the Hausa/Fulanis have struck an oil bonanza in Lake Chad,they should opt for their own separate country and leave secular minded Nigerians alone.The Nigeria project is a failure thanks to the Hausa/Fulan muslims who find it difficult to live and let live.They want to permanently lord it over others.
