Please good sire, can you throw more light on the Sharia implementation??

Does Buhari support Sharia??

Fr Kukah:

What this issue raises for me is the way Nigerians generally react in the face of the public discourse on very sore but deeply important issues, especially religion. We all retreat into our cocoons of prejudice and from that comfort, we continue to throw stones at the centre, defending our own but also raising the tensions. The result is that we fail to realize the extent of the damage done to our institutions, causes and integrity. I know that many readers who have rather made up their minds and would rather remain in their laagers will accuse me of blindly supporting the General, pandering to the North, or even trivializing what they consider to be a serious issue.

[b]The Patron (he is usually male, a chief, a fake appellation of Dr and a fake Sir, all titles he garners to compensate for his semi literate and modest credentials) is not so much concerned about the welfare of his people, for he requires that existing condition as a grazing field to satisfy his personal ambition and hold on to power. He uses this condition to negotiate with the state, which being largely uncaring about the general condition co-opts this patrons as one of its fellow negotiators (s party member, an office-holder in the dispensation or of a member of the ruling council as the case may be). The patron then invents an identity for his people and builds a brick wall to stop them from both realizing their conditions and negotiating with others in the larger society who may share their depressing conditions. The people are told that they are Hausas, Northerners, Muslims, Yorubas, Igbos, Urhobos or whatever. Their imagined ancestry, with no historical or anthropological basis, becomes the fig leaf for covering the unclothedness of the patron's greed. When the people begin to experience the pain and it seems that they are likely to listen to the voice of reason (based on the sermon of those who have seen through this deceit), the people are told by their patron that they cannot contaminate the purity of their linage. We, the descendants of so and so must remain united and stand together. If this identity has been hammered on the anvil of religion, the people are told that the new elite challenging the status quo is betraying the cause. The patron charges anyone exposing this hypocrisy with unbelief or at best those who have abandoned the true religion as ordained by God. This has been the philosophy driving the idea of we, the Northerners, we the descendants of Oduduwa, we the Ndigbo and so on[/b]

[b]For those who have resorted to Sharia to buy time and legitimacy, it is not clear yet whether the worst is still to come. But I have it on good authority from at least two highly placed Muslims from Katsina and Funtua that since the introduction of Sharia, the cost of alcohol has gone up by over two hundred per cent, in some places, much higher. I also hear that the price of kettles has gone up because the elite need at least two, one for real ablution and the other for storing alcohol. At the beginning of the 21st century, at a time when there is no nation in the world that is practicing Sharia at the level we crave for, the ruling elite in Northern Nigeria seemed determined to take a road that will lead to a cul-de-sac. This is not a judgment on the application of Sharia per se. I know that any and every honest Muslim knows that the Laws of God are written in our hearts. We do not need promulgations, proclamations or declarations to implement he love of God. The Iranians tried this road under ayatollah Khomeini. Today, many of the solders of the revolution have changed track and are in a quest for modernization. President Khatami is leading Iranians on the road of modernization. It is nonsense to argue that modernization undermines faith[/b]

Fr. Kukah:
Secondly that General Buhari would consider it beneath him to come our defending himself. Anyone remotely familiar with the mind of a Northern Muslim would concede that the General would remain calm and philosophical, believing in the judgment of his conscience on the one had and that of Allah on the other.

mapet:

Bros,

1. Sharia is not my forte. I am a Christian in good standing with assurance of my salvation. But like Fr. Kukah, I am very pragmatic of the world we live in.
2. Only Buhari himself can answer the question of his support for Sharia. I believe he's done so, save for misrepresentation of his views by media.

3. Perharps I should lift some of the words in Fr. Kukah's article maybe it would assuage your thirst......

mapet:
...that he will make Nigeria ungovernable.........

Fact: The statement was actually made by Lawal Kaita, currently a PDP member from the North who said if a Notherner doesn't win the 2011 election, they will make Nigeria ungovernable. Guardian Newspaper published an article written by Reuben Abati, claiming that Buhari made that statement. Buhari sued both Guardian and Abati. The presidency begged Buhari to settle out of court, which he did. An apology was printed in the same Guardian retracting the false claims

DDeliverer:

This is life is very easy o..But people keep making it difficult..
Does Buhari support Sharia? Yes or No..
Fr.kukah's article didn't answer my question..
You seem sincere so I'm trusting you'll tell me the truth..Yes or No?

hushmail:
No matter how you attempt to bury the truth,

it will always surface

how can the Op come here to give us his own interpretation of buhari's words

abi I no study English again?

I fully understand what means that the monkey and baboon will soak in blood

I also know what means to say Muslims should vote Muslim

likewise, the intention to Sharialize the entire Nigeria

and honestly speaking anyone associated with the above statements

does not deserve to be our president

because I still intend to remain a Christian

Fr. Kukah:
know that many readers who have rather made up their minds and would rather remain in their laagers will accuse me of blindly supporting the General, pandering to the North, or even trivializing what they consider to be a serious issue. It might also be said that the General may have settled me, as is common with us whenever anyone dares to beat a track away from the popular and wide road tarred with prejudice. They will wonder why I have broken ranks with my own tribe when all good Christians ought to have stood on one side.

Are u buhari's P.A or wat

1. Bros, I think Fr. Kukah himself had helped me to open my reaction to you in his article

2. I don't think you read my posers well enough, neither do I think you understood it. I do not disagree with you that you studied English, but guess what? Buhari did not make the alleged statement in English. It was our media, probably who didn't understand Hausa that did.

3. Neither did he say Muslim should vote for Muslim. Bros, I wonder your recalcitrant attitude when evidence abound. https://www.nairaland.com/599987/rev-father-mathew-hassan-kukah

4. I threw the challenge that all these allegation and rebuttal be prove. Please prove the allegation to "Sharilize" Nigeria. Let's make this discourse worth the while and not just bear parlour supposition (check my ps). Please provide substantial evidence....

bros, pls do not quote Fr. Kukah out of context, or where it suits you,

The Patron (he is usually male, a chief, a fake appellation of Dr and a fake Sir, all titles he garners to compensate for his semi literate and modest credentials) is not so much concerned about the welfare of his people, for he requires that existing condition as a grazing field to satisfy his personal ambition and hold on to power.[i][/i]

what of monkey and baboon blood bath? didnt buhari make that statement? a respected elder statesman should not make provocative sttaments. 11 youth corpers died in 2011 because of buhari's call to arms of his supporters.

say all you like, the truth still remains the truth, it never changes, and no matter how you play with words, facts are facts

Bros,

why are you show some comprehension issues........ I just told you the Buhari spoke in hausa and spoke a popular proverb which means "competition will be fierce". It is the media pps that should answer the question of the mistranslation. Pinning the death of NYSC on Buhari is begging the issue......

I have rightly quoted Fr. Kukah's article and rightly in context, because by the time you realise the "Patron" is simply taking advantage of you lot, using religion and ethnicity, provide you continue to graze in his field of deceit, while he achieves his aim of keeping you down, ignorant and lacking in knowledge.

hushmail:


bros, pls lets us be sincere, I do not claim to understand Hausa, but one thing I do know is that "the monkey and baboon statement was made as a threat if PDP rigs election" it has nothing to do with fierce competition. Now you also want to wipe the slate clean on these young corpers who lost thier lives serving their father land, by saying buhari should not be held accountable? actually, I will like to go further about these corpers, but I wouldnt want their families to be reminded of their pain and lost.

For the first time in my life, I see a 'christian' who sees nothing wrong in sharia..Nice one mapet.
I also love your clever insult. If I didn't look hard enough, I'd probably won't have noticed it. Well played!

When its convenient for them, they say don't vote according to ethnic, regional or religious sentiments but only on the competence value of the candidate. LIARS! Nigerians will vote along ethnic, tribal, regional, religious AND merit lines. Nigerians have allowed a reasonable percentage of each of these facts to shapen our choice of #OurGEJ.

Where were your competent voices when most states in the north were allowed access to the unity schools with cut off marks as ridiculously low as 02? What did you do to protest this shameful anomaly?
Where was your 'things should be done on the basis of merit only' voice when the tambuwal-led house called for a suspension of presidential scholarship scheme for first class just because most states in the north were found incompetent for the award.
How about the PTDF scholarship? Is it entirely based on merits? If everything in nigeria were to be earned only on the basis of merit, who do you think would lose more; those who over time created ( and are still creating) a massive pool of uneducated children or those who see proper formal education as a worth empowerment and liberating tool?

How many of you pretender competence preacher got to where you are now solely on the basis of competence with no trace of corruption? How many of you? Are we not still searching for Buhari's certificate?

For as long as no presidential candidate has come out to say Nigeria will run mainly from money collected PROPORTIONALLY from all citizens/companies from the north and south, we will continue to have ethnicity,tribalism and all their cousins determine who presides over the redistribution of proceeds from the sale of the SOUTH's crude oil.

Na our money dey run Nigeria and these northerners don't even show appreciation at all. Oil exploration has totally destroyed Niger-Delta, yet you sit in the cozy comfort of your homes elsewhere in Nigeria and tell me n0nsense.

What competent plan do you people have to remediate the Niger-delta environment. Oh! I forgot, the only problem in nigeria is the poorly defined and much abused word, corruption and the only solution is to return power to the North! Unlike you mapet, I no be melu melu.

PS: I was at the Driver's licensing office lately and while we were waiting, discussion on politics ensued. Very interesting I must say. But what I found most intriguing was that the most vociferous, arguing a lot on wrong premise and assumption and false information, yet with audacity, could not read or write, could not remember his DOB/age when the FRSC officers wanted to do his data capture
