Hear him,
“Dear Alhaji,

Omokri attacks Obi on Adeboye

Haba! There is absolutely no basis for comparing Southwest Muslims to Kano Muslims. It is like comparing night and day. Mutanen Kano are not known for religious tolerance by any stretch of the imagination. Please let sleeping dogs lie. I’ve lived in Sokoto, Kano and Potiskum. Believe it or not, even with the recent incidents in Sokoto, mutanen Sakkwato are far more tolerant than Kanawa!

I have preached openly in crusades in Northern Nigeria. To the best of my knowledge, if I were to pick the most tolerant part of Northern Nigeria (outside Kwara) for Muslims and Christians, it would be Gashaka Gumpti and Nguroje both in Taraba. But even there, I hear things have changed, since I last visited in 2000.

I suspect you may know how widely travelled I am. Courtesy of my parents, I have been touring the world since age nine, and I am yet to see a body of people anywhere on Earth who know how to manage diversity like the Yoruba.
