THE SHAMROCK LEAF, THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM AND THE THREE RELIGIONS WITH ABRAHAMIC ROOTS – JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM
St Patrick was believed to have used the shamrock leaf as above to illustrate the trinitarian doctrine, and in view of the now common place persecutions against Christians in Nigeria and in the world, I’d like to use the same shamrock leaf to illustrate the three religions with Abrahamic roots – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. And counting from right is Judaism, Christianity and Islam with the stalk representing Abraham and the tree wherefrom comes the leaf, and whereupon it derives its foods and water, God. It will not be out of place to humbly suggest to all the eminent Nigerians in the Inter-Faith Dialogue to adopt the leaf of shamrock as their logo to denote the singular source/origin of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, all three religions tracing their roots to Abraham, hence the term: ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS.
Anarchic Nigeria: The Past in the Present
Sankofa
“Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”
- The Second Coming
By William Butler Yeats.

“…. as the earth rotates on its axis 24/7, Nigeria too must learn to rotate on her axis 24/7 and NOT, repeat, and NOT on the axis of the North or that of any Geopolizone or Geo bloc or geopolientity, lest it falls off her axis and be cast into a bottomless pit or pushed to the point of no return.”
