valentineuwakwe:
can you just read again what you call demand s for restructuring?they sound so funny. .first you claim of holidays, so you want Muslims to create another extra holiday that the holy prophet Mohammed did not sanction when alive in nigeria just to balance the 5 Christian holiday you claim they have. .you talk about immigration, how would talk a passport with a cover face or with a block ear? or say turban. .the rule on international laws allows one to show his or her face clearly so why the complain?. . .you talk about military uniform, you make me laugh, you think the military is a praying centre or what. .don't you know those dress fit in for mobility, agility and speed. .so you will wear agbada or him an dress to the army and when a real war even comes, you will able to run or be agile. .you talk of Friday, well that will be good a bit but can the govt allow Nigerians have another extra day rest? dat means workers will now work from Monday til Thursday's. ..Friday, Saturday's and Sunday's will be rest days.....dat would be lovely. .
you talk about southwest, why not say sharia courts in the south east and south south? will you guys allow Christian courts in the north?
but you did not mention other areas in the north or Muslim had other advantage than the southern Christians . . .you for mention apointments, oil block, LGAs, states, house of representative seats and senators. .by the way who knows this group. . .mtcheww!

Oga, SW is Muslim majority so they can have Islamic courts. Ss &SE are xtian dominated no Islamic courts. Cool

You had better start using your sense, hence the Fulani would take over you for a ride.

Look at Asari Dokunbo.. Is he not a muslim? Look at what he's fighting for? He's fighting for his people, their resources and his heritage! He doesn't mind if Jonathan is a christian or not because first and foremost, his Ijaw heritage comes before anything else. Abiola was also like that, not some bastards we have in the SW today.

Nowadays, some muslims in the SW have got their heads in the dung, forgetting that the Fulanis keep looking for ways to subjugate the Yoruba, whether they are Muslims or not. The other day, one Fulani man stated that Yorubas are the problem of the country.. Another time, they gunned down Abiola but you folks are always quick to support their retrogressive motives..

Tell me which of the Fulanis has been beheaded or got his hand chopped off according to Sharia law? What happened to the Fulani senator caught sleeping with prostitutes? Was he publicly flogged according to sharia law? Did Zahra Buhari ever put on hijab? Doesn't she look classy and well above the Hausa slaving under the Fulanis in the North?

Funny enough, no one is stopping you from wearing whatever you want to wear. The only thing we want you to note is the fact that school's dresses are meant to be "uniform" wears regardless of the religion each student practises. A christian who attends an islamic school must wear hijab regardless of his religion and a muslim who attends a missionary school must also put on the school uniform wear required by the school.

Also, no one has ever stopped muslim from obtaining a marriage certificate from the court like the christians do. Even the people that practises traditional marriage goes to the court to obtain their marriage certificate today. Funny enough the muslims are the only ones who are ignorant of such yet believes their ignorance is the fault of the christian. How is it the christian's fault that you're ignorant? And so-on.

I want you muslims to come up with progressives reasoning such as ways to move the country forward, to build our dwindling economy, improve adequate power supply and above all, a Yoruba to always champion his heritage above everything else because first and foremost, you're Yoruba and shouldn't be made inferior to any other ethnic group. Our self worth, heritage and cultures should come first! If not, the Fulanis would take us for a ride like they did to the Hausa!

So you're saying we should follow the British till death? Are you not aware that Islam had foothold in SW before the British? Islam also influenced Yoruba culture to some extent, are you saying we should all throw that away because we were colonized by British?

Our culture is our culture! Our government is the British government, which tilt towards a secular country! No eediot can change that to arabic government!

Remove Igbos and Hausa from Lagos, 60 to 70% are Muslims, Ogun 50% xtians Islam 25% traditional 25%, Ekiti xtians 55% traditional 25% Muslims 20%, Oyo Muslims 65% others 35%, Osun Muslims 70% Kwara Muslims 90% States like Ekiti and Ogun where xtians are dominant av low population. So SW belongs to Muslims as well.

Nope lagos - most non Yoruba lagosians are Christain’s residing in lagos especially those of Ogun and ondo extraction
Most indigenous lagos Yoruba May be muslims but they are minority in the state - remember most Yoruba holding seats in lagos are not from lagos

Now go to Ogun it’s predomiantly Christian egba ijebu and yews are largely Christians
Ekiti is full blown Christian
The traditionalist you mentioned in each state still go to church but serve orisha after
Ondo is another majority Christain state
Only Kwara is absolute muslim state
Oyo is 50% 50%
Osun -60% muslims

And I repeat assuming muslims we’re majority it does not give them right to impose views on others and call for Islam that has not benefitted any country globally

The most populous state in Yoruba land are
- lagos - most Yorubas residing in lagos are xtains
-oyo - left to me spilt across xtains and muslims
-Ogun - majority xtains
-ondo - majority xtains
-Osun - slight majority Muslim
-Kwara- absolute muslims
-Ekiti - majority Christian
- Kogi West - absolute Christian

So pls explain how Islam is major and why it must impose its view on others ?

There's no governmental jobs that has prevented female muslims from wearing their hijabs. They are free to wear whatever they like.

However, a company owner has every right to decide what his employers wear and do in his company. Anyone that can't abide by such law can go look for another job because he's not the owner of the company.

Seriously, we should be concerned about progressive views, not retrogressive moves in the country. Common sense should dictate that the muslims can obtain marriage certificate from the registry like the christians do, so why disturb our ears? Is anyone stopping the muslims from attending islamic school where every students are required to wear hijabs?

And this problem of sharia laws? What would that law do for us? Has it stopped the Northern country from being ravaged with poverty? Does it bring food to our table, improve our economy, build infrastructures, power plants etc? The funny thing is the rich northerners are above this Sharia law while the poor masses suffer from such laws. For instance, tell me what was done to the northern senator that slept with prostitutes the other day? Did any sharia law have him flogged? As a mater of fact, the Fulanis are above these sharia laws. Only the Hausa are enslaved to such laws and one reason they were able to subjugate the Hausa under them. That should be eye openers for the Muslims in the SW who clamoured for such nonsense!

It's better you keep shut if you don't know anything about Shariah law, one of the most richest countries in the world today practice Shariah. It's not about bringing food to anyone's table, Shariah is wider than what you think!

south west people are learned. they don't allow religion to hinder their freedom and progress.

U mean the SW xtians that are in cooperation with Igbos because of religion? So we should leave our northern brethren to pilot the affairs of Islam that belong to us too?

Islam had everything it needs in life, Islam, have it's, way government, constitution, Banking, etc.


have I ever complain why pope is never black?
what a stupid?

The pope can hardly be black, simply because majority of black christians are not Catholics. We are protestants and the pope has no significance to the majority of us whatsoever. The Europeans and Latin American christians are overwhelmingly Catholics, so that is their denomination
What is your own excuse for a Black Muslim never leading prayers in Mecca or a Yoruba Muslim never being Sultan (the official spiritual head of all Muslims in Nigeria)?

After reading this nonsense by a so called Prof. i wish we can hv two separate countries like ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA and UNITED CHRISTIAN STATES.
Maybe it would reduce some ppls stupidity. Weda Prof. Akintola likes it or not poverty knows no religion its wat we hv in common, we r talking abt economic restructuring he's talking abt religion. After all our jihad and crusade against one another we all hv one common battle(poverty). One thing that breaks my heart wen i remember Yoruba's r of mix religion, wch means there is no escaping d religion of peace, a practical islamization agenda of d SW is wat AREGBE NONSENSE is doing, trying to impose hijab on a baptist school. These religion is said to b d reason education in this country is going d south way cos it is Aram, dey ceased all d missionary schools wch they benefitted from and gave dem arabic names today and we saw education crashed because its western education.
No doubt SW stopped progressing wen d likes of AWOLOWO and AKINTOLA anco who wre Christians left our virgin hunters to steer d wheels of d Yoruba race. Today 90% of political leaders in yoruba land r not Christians, u can compare d development on entering IBADAN d BROWN ZINC CITY. These ppl don't like development dey don't like growth they r simply anti progress before u argue look at what they hv done to kwara state and oyo state, d governors r just milking d state dry.

Ode. And indeed SE(xtian) states are more developed than northern States. Olodo

Yes it's our culture, and as a Yoruba man I fully know our culture. What you're trying to do all in the name of being secular is turning the country into an atheist Republic like China. But it'll surprise you that despite being mainly atheist(China), they respect all religions especially Islam because the Chinese know what Muslims have done throughout the years.

The British are known for their notoriety all over where they ruled like in India/Pakistan, Palestine and even Nigeria here where wars and crisis are the order of the day. Some of the points Mr. Ishaaq highlighted might not be possible today, but it's the sad reality

Never really encountered his views as far as i can remember. However, im glad this singular bs from the jan.jaweeds will open the eyes, ears and nuts of those who still believe mujahadeens are sensible.

This is one of the Yoruba guys that often does come for our head when we try to point out the betrayal behaviour and pro north stance of our Yoruba moslem brothers. Now he's saying it - pure and undiluted.

God is really emancipating a lot of yoruba Christians from their gullibility and docility. Jesus is Lord.

Nigerian military flag has Arabic on it, is this inline with Christianity or Islam. So removing this inscription will considered when restructing Nigeria so that it will suit both religion

Saintp:
I have always said it here that as the restructuring talk gathers momentum there will always be plans to ensure it does not happen so that the status quo will be maintained. The essence of this muric talk is not necessarily to achieve these demands but to stop the restructuring idea and maintain status quo.

See guys, religion is more important for the average Muslim than ethnicity. So don't be surprised that a Muslim in the SW will take side with the northern Muslims when it comes to that.

However, this shouldn't be a problem. Let's restructure so that some regions will do what they like. There is no big deal if Friday is a work free day in the north while Sunday is a working day after all the Muslims are majority there. If any Christian does not like it, they can relocate to a Christian region.

However all these should be part of the total restructuring package which include resource control, devolution of power, regional/state police etc. So when every region controls their resources, they can now make hijab the dress code for everyone in their region and if you don't like it, you get out.

Wot about SW(Muslim dominated) region?

You're literally don't have a brain, any Muslim that is poor and wretched that it. Shariah has nothing to do with you being poor or rich, Iraaq, Afghanistan and Somalia don't observe Shariah.

Qatar, Saudi, Malaysia observe Shariah, as a rich individual, you're to drop around 2.5% of your total income every year and this is to cater for the poor and needy under Shariah. If this is adopted in Nigeria, won't it help your miserable life? Instead, your heroic CAN of worms will shout Islamization!

I hope you know the differences between Islam and Arab. Yes, currently we've adopted some aspects of Shariah into the economy like the Islamic banking(a bank many Christians go to borrow from because it's non-interest) and the Sukuk is generating billions of dollars.

Islam is part of my culture as a Yoruba man, Islam made yorubas accomplish a lot. Slaves who were forcefully taken away with the spirit of jihad, stood up to fight the slave masters.

I agree with you on that Friday, it's not feasible now. But as regards the policewoman I don't think this is wrong!? [img]http://2.bp..com/-nRGmbJBjQLY/UEulDNj494I/AAAAAAAAKkc/sqbq3eh2WsI/s1600/BritishPolice.JPG[/img]
