The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has issued a warning to the international cable television network, GOTV, urging it to stop airing the Christian televangelism programme Faith on its main channel.

This was contained in a statement signed by MURIC’s Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Friday, who described the decision as “offensive, nauseating, and denigrating” to Nigerian Muslims.

According to a press statement, the Faith programme, which focuses on Christian televangelism, now occupies the top channel on GOTV, a slot that was previously used for ments of other programmes.

MURIC argues that this change forces viewers to watch Christian content by default when they turn on their televisions, regardless of their religious beliefs.

The organisation claims this action imposes Christian religious content on the Muslim population, equating it to “religious apartheid.”

MURIC argued that GOTV’s choice to feature Faith on such a prominent channel infringes on the rights of Muslim viewers, violating their freedom of choice and their right to select television programming without being confronted with unwanted religious content.

The group maintains that this practice is divisive and unjust to Muslims in the country.

In light of this situation, MURIC has demanded that GOTV promptly relocate the Faith programme to a different channel and restore the first channel to its original function.

They also warned that if their request is not fulfilled within a week (by December 9, 2024), they may consider peaceful actions, including urging Muslims to unsubscribe from the service.

"Meanwhile, MURIC appeals to Nigerian Muslims to continue to exercise patience and to remain peaceful and calm. We must not give in to provocation, lawlessness and violence.

“The law is on our side and we have the right to reject a service provider that has no respect for our faith or for its Muslim customers.

“GOTV will also do better by returning to its original practice whereby the last station watched by consumers opens immediately they switch on their television sets.

"Nigerians are going through enough stress and GOTV has no right to escalate tension in the nation’s anatomy,” the statement concluded.

Watching Gotv is haram. Don't watch it and leave Christians to watch it in peace.

Look who is talking about provocation, lawlessness and violence when Christians are on the receiving end of these violence thereby making the religion of peace a joke.

Make NDLEA raid this man house and check what he's smoking.

This weray still dey??

I thought he has retired after achieving Muslim -muslim ticket

May Allah grant Professor Ishaq Akintola long life, good health fili idimot il-Islam. Amin.

I can see some posters attacking him already, what Prof. is saying is simple, GOTV should not force any religious show on anyone. Imagine sitting down, tune your TV to Supersport 1-3 to watch live football, and what you see is a Moulid program...or you tune your TV to Blitz to catch some football highlights and what they're airing is people doing Hajj/Humurah in Saudi Arabia.

Thanks Prof. once again.

So they don't know how to change channel?

Go to Islam channel and stop crying like a baby , Mumuric

Wetin religious people need paid tv channel for self?

The hypocrites them . Same them will be complaining about BBA and one would wonder how do they know what they do there if they have not been watching secretly

Princess FaithChukwu

Messed up group.

Is anyone forcing them to subscribe to GOTV?

Or is he mistaking GOTV for NTA that is funded with public funds?

They should also remove all the Islam Channels from Gotv.
They are forcing Islam on Christians.
And Muslims should stop watching Gotv.

Very MUMUric man.

Both religions are nothing but a destruction tool..

They’ve offered nothing to Nigeria other than destruction..

Yoruba Muslims sef.



Anyone force you to buy GOTV?

GOTV should be Haram to you Muslims


With this muric, what some Yoruba Muslims will be in future will be worse than Boko Haram and Iswap.

These ones don finally run mad. Awon werey alaso 🤣🤣🤣

I am not aware of this allegation. But if they reset their decoder it shouldn’t happen again

This man has always been known for spewing shots. Anything Christianity, he'll jump onto to it like say Na Christians stole his placenta.

Nonsense.

GOTV is a private broadcast company and people can choose to watch it or watch something else. Nobody is forced to watch or own GOTV, therefore they have the right to show what they want, as long as it is not illegal and does not violate the broadcasting code.

what yerubabel mazlems cannot do or say does not exist

I Don't really know what is wrong with this Mohammad the rapist ers. Very useless and stupid religion called Islam. The only useless religion that brought war to the whole world.

Does prof Akintola not realize that pictures of live beings is haram? Why should a Muslim watch a western devil box. You want al Jannah for sure - entertain yourself as they did in those times.

On this same thread, Yoruba Muslim, christian even traditional have knocked Muric man down but as nothing dey your head apart from political jingoism, you will write the nonsense above

A meaningful life devoid of being bitter about politics is the best life to live

Rest
Its the school that the religion built that your father and grandfathers attended.
Otherwise, they would have been illiterates

See wetin person papa dey fight over. Fighting over TV channel..

Just as Amoda Ogunlere and Shettima forced Mm-Ticket on Nigerians last year.
Muric is by the way, a terrorist organization.

You go wan crase

"Meanwhile, MURIC appeals to Nigerian Muslims to continue to exercise patience and to remain peaceful and calm. We must not give in to provocation, lawlessness and violence.

Subtly inciting violence while calling the accusation a provocation. If this isn't treason i wonder what treason is. For a religion that's aggressive and always on the edge, it would have made sense to write the NBC and other regulatory bodies than coming out to incite an hungry n angry half of the populace(muslims) to attack the other half of the populace(christians).

TinubuBarawo:

Sound normal, sound coherently.

Aren't you tired of this continuation of sounding dumb on my mentions? Would you have a job and still be creating daily monikers to be telling others to go and look for job

Stop living uninspiring life

Ditch Gotv. You mustn't watch it.
Islam is world's worst religion. So intolerable, violent, oppressive and over demanding.

If an independent yoruba nation is to come into being, the first step is to expel islamic extremists and Boko Haram wannabes like you and the mvmv akintola. Trust me, no country will grow with brain dead backward thought that you guys espouse

Mrfeel:

The prof said they are airing Christian programs on Muslim channels, which according to him, ought not to be.
