Description: NIGED:SOCIAL:RELIGION:CULTURE à JUL 1965 à Bello The Man Behind The Legend à The deeply religious Sardauna of Sokoto at a Muslim gathering.Ãà I would very much like not only the federation of Nigeria, but the whole world, to become Moslem. If it does, many of the complicated problems that face it today will fall away. For example, since Islam does not permit lying and cheating and double- dealing, a country that has Islam as its official religion would infinitely be a better country in which to live. It would be a country in which to love would be king, in which truth would be the basis of the conducts of all human affairs and in which equal opportunity for all would be guaranteed, not only by an act of legislation, but by the call of Islam. I will continue, both in my private and public capacities, to mix religion with politics. To me, the two are inseparable.Ãà ( Photograph by Matthew Faji Photographer ©BAHA)
