DO TINUBU AND SHETTIMA PRESENT AN  EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO CHRISTIANS?  “For us Christians in the North, the Muslim-Muslim ticket is existential. It is designed to oppress, kill and eliminate us from the political and economic system"- Dr. Babachir Lawal, former Secretary to the Federal Government of Nigeria.  I am very fond of Dr. Babachir Lawal and I have great respect and affection for him but I beg to differ with him on this issue.  What he has said is simply not true and those that espouse and share the views that he has expressed are playing a dangerous and divisive game.  Unlike him I do not see a Muslim/Muslim ticket but rather a Tinubu/Shettima ticket.  They are both human beings and Nigerians before being Muslims.

FROM HOUSE HELP TO GOVERNOR IN KENYA One of Kenya’s seven recently elected female governors has revealed she dropped out of high school temporarily as a teenager to work as a domestic worker.  Kawira Mwangaza, who has just been sworn in as the new governor of Meru county, said it happened when she was aged around 14 because her family was poor. “I worked as a house help for almost a year. It was difficult but I knew deep down I was born a winner,” the politician, who is in her late forties, told the BBC. “I never gave up hope that one day I would escape from the claws of poverty and succeed in life.” House helpers in Kenya are often underpaid and work for long hours in an unregulated industry. But her determination saw her through and she went back to school the next year – and then went on to fund her college education with proceeds from a small business. After becoming a successful businesswoman, Ms Mwangaza became interested in politics in 2013, running unsuccessfully for parliament
