SE Celebrate in the Locker Room...

[oloye]

We need to be careful here!! Naija is a secular country.. We should find songs that are religion neutral and we got lots of those

Just my tuppence

Go to any club in the country, north south , east of west, that is the tradition! It is not about SE, this has been the culture. In my days at Kwasu the songs are heavily tilted towards Islamic songs, but sprinkled richly with Christian songs. And at prayer time both religions take time to pray.

The people profiting from religion are the ones who always have issues and the ones using it as part of the old and ancient political tool of divide and rule. Players do not give a hoot!

Oloye, I've always wondered how they do those prayers within the huddle just before the game.
Is it one Xian, one Moslem prayer or is it an 'all join' approach?
Is it always a prayer or is it sometimes just a pep talk?
Also, how do the very young members address the elders during the live game, esp if the 'egbon' is really fokking up, say with a bad pass or something like that?
Fascinating how religion and culture might apply here.

Most clubs and even the national team recognise certain players that are very spiritual from both sides. When I was in BCC and the 4 years I captained the team I would randomly pick someone to pray. Because we had more Christians I would do it more often with a Christian. When we are in camp we have prayers every night. In this situation one person from each religion would offer prayers. In all my 13 years on the Naija football scene even when I played in Ilorin, the players never had any issue praying together and we never had the situation where players divide along religions.. Even though we tend to have divisions along tribal affiliations... I never experienced any along religious divide.

In my time at Kwasu, both religions came together to reject and resist the continuous use of a juju man before matches.

Players were more concerned about winning and were ready to work together for that cause, anything to achieve that cause. When leaders do not have a worthy vision and cause they divide the people and keep them busy while they pillage the treasury.

I have seen Muslim read from the bible in my time, their favorite passage coming from the psalms.

Seriously there is a reason why religion and politics should not mix, the beauty it offers gets polluted.

Oga Oloye, abeg chop knuckle...

Even in the stands, my muslim pals were always dancing to some of those stirring Christian-themed chants belted out by the supporters club...

Did they care about religious affiliation..? Of course not!
