This is disgusting to say the least.

I'm happy my daughter won't be experiencing this barbarism and I feel truly sorry for those living in such bondage.

The chauvinism and ego of their self conceited men will forever dictate the course of their lives.
It is regrettable.

The part of bill that permits a widow to marry another man AND bring such man into her matrimonial home I will NT agree with. It is very insensitive and dishonorable to the dead man and his family.it's absolutely unafrican and should nt be encouraged undecided The implications of such a practice is better left to imagination.

Dont try to change the topic of discussion here. Am not a religious fundamentalist or fanatic. But truth must be said when its obvious. Nigerias system of government was bequeathed upon us by the Almighty supreme british who brought about missionary expedition to conquer our nation. They tried to bridge our divide with the almagamation of 1914,but they forgot that the left a nation with 2 distinct religions and varied cultural practices. Look at the banking/financial system, the educational system, the public service system, et al. The were all considered for a secular society. but lets face the fact, Naija ain't like that. until this fundamental problem is addressed, everyone will keep fighting for his religious cum tribal interest till the world will come to an end. Let lawmakers always consider our ways of life and religion when making laws. Enough of copying british or American laws, cos we are different people in different climes.
Sokoto sultan kick against the bill base on Islamic injunctions not on any other non-dividing reason remember.
So the bone of contention is his INTOLERANCE MENTALITY which sprouts from Islam itself.

muslim law in a secular country..how about Christian law, infact the country should be divided along religious lines and peace will rain

even boko haram have got their own laws if you don't know
Nigerian's laws are synonymous to christian law and what you people don't realize is that the sharia law has been on ground which the North has been practicing before the advent of colonialism and the North as never stop using this laws at any point of time so I don't think you people should force ur English christian laws on Nigerian Muslims.

Just one of the obvious reasons we can never be in one country and if we must, regional system of government is preferred. Then those regions who claim they are tolerant and peaceful can treat themselves the way they want with their laws. Not this system that foists mr As poison as meat mr B must take in the name of one nigeria...

Whether the bill is passed or not, the implementation of such a controversial bill in our society /family would not see the light of the day. Because our respective cultures /traditions [no matter how different] would be a greater huddle even than religion

At least the aggrieved woman would have a law backing her up, if the injustice meted on her is challenged in a court of law.

English law has nothing to do with Christianity young lady, it's called the law for a reason, it has no religious leanings...

Is this what your imams teach you folks? That Nigerian constitution and laws are Christian?

This isnt about islam whatsoever. It is just a case of sheer hatred and extreme hypocrisy. Enugu state house of assembly did same and these zealots never insulted anyone.

You are one of the saddening problems of Nigerian youths. The problem is that you people don't read and arent informed. Islam already has laws on what the legislature is aiming to implement, so why should they subject muslims to a new one??
They have been living with it for many years and there has never been problem of Inheritance et al In muslim domains because there is already a stipulated sharing formula.
I made use of google. Next time make use of google as well before posting thrash. It will be beneficial for common sense and humanity

... but they want to force Sharia on both Christians and Moslems undecided . Btw, Nigeria is a secular country. We should seek what is the common interest of all..

Not only in Islam... Even culturally, u cant say a woman and man are equal... Even Bible said that man is d head meaning man is superior.. In some culture sef.. Women worst their husbands like gods... Am a woman, I know we should be allowed and given some right but total equality is not advisable.... E go too climb our head sef

The reason why Senate want to uphold a law that will recognize the equality of Man is because Africa society and religion do not accept it. So it's a disappointment that Sultan will wish to keep women where they do not wish to be in the name of Islam and later he will claim that there is no compulsion in Islam. Freedom and equal treatment should be extended to all human being alike
my guy,average nigerian woman is not ready for gender equality.they only know the good side of it but not the other side

...the cause of all these problem is that nigeria has not defined what they are: a Muslim nation,a Christian nation or a conventional secular nation.if they get a defination,then all laws of the land should falk in accordance

lack respect for what

let's call a spade a spade

the sultan, while speaking for his people, forgot that they are not the only people occupying the country(selfishness), turned a blind eye to suffering of young girls and women(cruelty), and is trying to suffocate their only chance(the bill) of gaining liberty..all under the guise of religion.
