Our attention has been brought to a Press release by MURIC director Professor Ishaq Akintola, in which he attacked a recent video by artist Falz and gave a “legal action” ultimatum on it.
In clear contradiction to what MURIC’s Professor Ishaq Akintola claimed, Islam or Muslim was NEVER mentioned in the video and the veil is not owned by Islam but worn by anyone who so feels, hopefully to the pleasure of Muslims and worn by Nuns and sometimes forcibly doused by terrorists on their captors as happened in the Chibok case. Where did Ishaq see Islam or Muslim in this video?
Will Ishaq and his MURIC not be happy if all Nigerian music and film videos enjoin on the ladies involved to wear veils? Did Ishaq prefer watching the ladies in the video dressed in body hugging mini skirts and shaking their bountiful parts?
Was this subvert threat of a possible repeat of radical and meaningless, unjustified violence by misguided Islamists in the past, a means of merely defending the Buhari administration possibly negatively affected by the viral video and defending Fulani herder-related terrorism by attempting to present the video as religiously provocative? The video was not.
If at all the video provoked any religion it was the Christian faith, by ridiculing pastors casting out demons via grabbing female breasts, and also laying direct attacks at pastors involved in the establishment of universities which their congregations cannot attend.
As as regards truths of value in the video, there were very many that seemed not to be digested by Professor Ishaq, including:
*That the people are extremely poor*
*Medical facilities are poor*
*That we operate a predatory neocolonial-capitalist system fueled on fraud and exploitation, bedeviled with institutionalized corruption*
*That indeed Nigerians are so superficial, broke yet inspecting for designer brands*
*That criminal cases are settled in police stations and not courts*
*Police station closing by six*
*No electricity*
*Youth work multiple jobs and yet are called lazy by the president*
*Never ending recession*
*Looters and killers contest elections*
*Politicians that steal billions like Babachir Lawal never go to prison*
*Fulani herdsmen slaughtering*
*Political hysteria*
*Rich men bailing out their children by bribing police*
*Everyone is a criminal*
*Transmission transmission police chief*
Please tell us this press release was sent in error. We strongly urge all to be careful of the propagation of sensitive and insensible messages and getting the great faiths entangled in harmful politics.
Thank you
