is it Tinubu you want to use sharia on??  is it tinubu or fashola, you want to cut their legs.  Many legs would get cut off.  My brother. Let leave the cut of legs and arms to northerners. by the times. Northerners cut all of their hand and legs finish. then they have nobody who have hand and legs. we would have people who can develop our land.

Ti wa ni ke won change tax law, ti state ma gba. ki ni ko wa be, ti won ba ti change tax law. e ma re iyato ni tu. e ni ma pe ijoba apapo fu owo mo.

Sharia in Osun is akin to customary law. It only applies to muslims and not Christians unlike the Northern states.

ndu_chucks:

Are you sure about what you wrote above? If so would you kindly tell us which Northern states implement shariah in a manner which is unconstitutional? Thanks

aloy-emeka:

Zamfara implemented the sharia clause and it is applicable to all and sundry as long as you are resident in the state irrespective of your religion or ethnic background but the sharia in Osun is selective and can only be applied to certain muslims in the state.

ndu_chucks:

We need to determine the extent of your misinformation. What sharia clause was implemented and where did this clause come from. Please be specific or admid that you are just making things up. Fear not though, I will not make this conversation stressful for you.

Islamic law prohibits the consumption of alcohol, permits caning and amputation of limbs, and calls for separate schools and public transportation for males and females. Muslim supporters in Nigeria insist that Christians will not be affected. But in Zamfara, where the state purchased additional buses so that men and women would not ride together, there have been numerous reports of Christian women waiting hours for a bus that transports females.

KADUNA, Nigeria - In late Nov 2002, Officials canceled the Miss World pageant in Nigeria. They decided to move it to London. The initial reports claimed a newspaper report on the event sparked the rioting that has killed about 200 people and injured thousands. The announcement came after three days of rioting triggered by the pageant and a newspaper's reference to the prophet Muhammad. Fueling the clashes are long-standing hostilities between the various tribes of Muslims and Christians in Africa's most populous nation, where rioting and fighting between the groups is commonplace. Previous riots in Kaduna have escalated into religious battles that have killed hundreds since civilian government replaced military rule in 1999. Islamic groups have complained for months that beauty pageant scheduled promotes promiscuity.

Why are you confusing yourself with the same rubbish you people and coping and pasting from Nigeria Village Square that the poster probably post on wiki himself?


You mind showing us any non wiki link or the state's legal system showing that they practice sharia law? Also where and when it was practice in Osun state.

aloy-emeka:

Dude, the information came from a concise academic research here:

http://www.sharia-in-africa.net/media/publications/the-institution-of-sharia-in-oyo-and-osun-states-nigeria/makinde-thesis.pdf

and wiki only copied it to update their system. So, don't shoot the messenger, rather provide proof that the information contained in the thesis is  flawed.

@aloy-emeka and koruji - you people are a confused lot. It is impossible to implement some unconstitutional sharia clause. If any state pases laws which are opposed to the Nigerian constitution, those laws will be overturned by the courts. How many court challenges have we had to these unconstitutional sharia implementaion you talk about.

Do you people even know, what the constitution provides for, as far as sharia is concerned? Continue to live in ignorance and you will not seek the remedies you deserve when your constitutional rights are trampled upon. olodos

Can you post the constitution please?

Negro_Ntns:

Where does the Yoruba word "ma da saria (sharia or justice or penalty) fun e" come from?

jmaine:

Sharia or no Sharia . . . .the tolerance of the South western Muslims would not create any problems . . . those courts have been in existence for quite some time and it hasn't raised eye brows even though the Muslims in Osun are clearly in the majority . . . .

There have been a fine balance between religion and culture . . .cos whether a Yoruba person is a Muslim or a Christian . . . . they all share the same cultural heritage .  . . which galvanizes the people more . . There was a particular case in Iragbiji where parents of a particular school ( Name withheld) were trying to persuade the school authorities to allow their female students dress to school as required by Islam tenets . . .The school authorities politely turned them down by explaining to them that such move might act as a precedence for more religious demands which might heat up the seemingly peaceful and tolerant level within the schools. . .  and the parents accepted the decision even though the religio-composition level of most schools around Iragbiji ( Including the said school) is about 90% in favour of the Muslims . . .That goes to show you how considerate and understanding the Yoruba Muslims are

gunpoint:

All of you asking for links to state legal codes abi constitution are all silly, scratch that, silly!
You think becos you are a muslim safe in the south you can defend the killings happening daily up north? I lived in Bauchi for six years and saw Yoruba muslims get killed everyday, don't run your mouth on nlnd, rather get on that bus as a southern and go up north to proclaim your love for sharia during the next crisis in Kaduna nd let's see if you will come back with your head!
Mcheeewwwww. . .

KnowAll:

Kwara state clearly a northern state, with a majority muslim population does not have sharia, why would oshun state have it, this is obviously the handiwork of some envious idiiiooots trying to shake the harmonious respect the different faiths have for each other in the SW.

Look, I'm tired of all these he is weak arguments and party loyalists faulting opponent's candidates,

Beaf and gbawe, you too need to grow da hell up and I'm sure I'm saying this to people my dad probably drinks beer with!!!

Look, unless you kill Jonathan, he is still the one who is the closest to changing things and if things won't change, he is the closest to making things change,

Feedeefee or essien, it doesn't matter now; the elections are over and now isn't the time to have that "I told y'all so attitude",

We won't get no where if after elections, parties are waiting for their opposition to fail because they didn't win the election,

Seriously, I see too many buhari supporters coming out to say all sorts of nonsense hia!! Even Igbos that voted zombiatically for odechukwu are coming out to denounce him,

Look the nation in heading down, now if you can't help stop the down spiral, don't sit down entertain yourselves with the failure of our dreams!!!!

I don't care what party is in charge, Jonathan like many of you agreed is weak is in need of your support to strengthen his will right now!!! Don't wait for him to lose his will so you can laugh!!!

Organize, let him know you are in full support of him, show him the lack of change hurts, This guy hasn't seen a crying hungry baby in years so really, you know even though he had no shoes, he can now step on gold,

I want Odua nation but not that Nigeria must fail for such to happen,

Stop with the peniss measuring competitions you grown for nothing drones! The internet is not for you, you are suppose to be out there protesting, campaigning for what you think is right,

The internet is to spread information not to act, You can't change Nigeria by dissing odechukwu on here you retardeens,

If you are too scared to live and die for what's right then you deserve to die for the wrong reasons (Jmaine, my words not from movies lol) ,

How do you old folks in your 30s and 40s feel sitting here with 24yrs olds and below but still getting schooled on what it do

Seriously shame on you decays of humanity, shame on you,

Jonathan needs your honest and best support to know that Nigerians will die for him if he does the right thing, There are powerful cabals running this nation to the dark and if you let them absolve Jonathan, you won't say up nepa for a long time,

Kindly drop your slow unforgiving attitudes and go out there and show support for the president, let all the ACN senators, all the opposition members show their support for him, not kiss his Bottom but show him if he does the right thing, they are right behind him!!!!

We can't afford to be Republican, democrat crap right now in Nigeria,

Let them get involved too. If Jonathan fails, Nigeria is over but the real failures are those who out of hatred watch it fail,
