FULL SCALE SHARIA LAW IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM?
I was shocked to watch the live proceedings of the House of Representatives as covered by NTA2 and saw that the bill calling for the criminal aspects of Islamic Sharia law to be implemented in our legal system in Nigeria at the Federal and states passed the second reading today! I was even more shocked because even though there were many Christians in the House no one raised an objection!  The Speaker of the House, Hon Yakubu Dogara, who presided over the proceedings said that what this meant was that it would now move to committee level where it will be discussed fully before the House would decide on it finally, but it is curious that not even one voice of dissent was aired against it! I waited till 9pm to hear what NTA Network news would report about it, but there was a blackout of reportage about it!  Of course, other issues discussed and decided in the House today were reported but not this one!  The bill to amend the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to make provision for the full implementation of Sharia Criminal law at the Federal and states legal system has passed the second reading in the House of Representatives and no one is telling Nigerians what is happening! For all we know, when a bill passes the second reading unchallenged in parliament it is almost as good as passed!
Long before the 2nd Republic, Muslim leaders in Nigeria have always agitated for the full implementation of Sharia in Nigeria.  Nobody has forgotten the hot debates that took place in the Constituent Assembly of 1978 about the place of Sharia in the 1979 Constitution. Christian members kicked against the full implementation of full Sharia because non-Muslims would fall victim of this law.  In the end, a compromise was reached that the Sharia Personal Law be allowed, not the criminal aspects.  It was the same thing that happened in 1988 Constituent Assembly that produced the 1989 Constitution, which never took off.  In fact, in the 1988 Constituent Assembly, General Ibrahim Babangida, then Nigeria’s self- styled military President, had to stop all debates relating to Sharia and other sensitive issues when he saw how inflammable the debates were becoming, and retained the status quo. The 1999 Constitution drew much from both the 1979 and 1989 Constitutions and retained Sharia Personal law.  Now, Muslims, under PMB, have surreptitiously attempted to amend the Constitution to insert the full implementation of Sharia without carrying Nigerians along! Muslim leaders have always argued that Sharia law is meant for Muslims only.  But Christians have always refused to buy the argument because in practice, non- Muslims have often been dragged before Sharia courts and have been adjudicated by a legal system repugnant to their faith.  Several documented cases abound to prove this!  Besides, Christians have always argued why the government that is supposed to be neutral to all religions should uphold the religious laws of one religion with public funds to the harm of the adherents of other faiths!
My book, Sharia In Nigeria: A Christian Perspective (Challenge Publications, 1988), documents the issues succinctly clear!  These are some of the issues that make some of us to take with a pinch of salt the claims that PMB means well for this country!  Our job is to bring these issues to the fore to create awareness of what is happening.  Whatever happens afterwards is beyond our power.  It’s up to you all! Broadcast this information.

Hmmmm.... gradually unfolding..
God will help this Country..

If the Muslims want sharia enshrined in the constitution strictly for themselves let them have it, but the law must apply to all categories of muslims. The rich, the poor, the high &mighty ? , the low ...EVERY MUSLIM
....Unfortunately, its design to cage the poor.

Religion is killing Africa and Africans, why create a monster that will be too hard to tame.

THANKS FOR LETTING THEM KNOW.

Ah swear, I don't like the way these northerners are going about their business... They are really determined to bring another civil war upon us. Its a shame, I really pity the ignorant ones amongst us who can't see what is heading our way cos they will be hit very hard. For people like us who already know, preparation are being made to leave ASAP... The northerners should take a chill pill for Pete sake. We have 4 time bombs ticking already (herdsmen,IPOB,militants,boko haram) and a sane human being wants to start a 5th(sharia law)...

The only way to stop this madness is for the Muslim North to go their separate ways.

The universal adoption of Sharia Law isn't a mere legal obligation Muslims seek to attain but one that puts Islamic doctrine supreme over other religious and political ideologies.

When Buhari stated his commitment to this agenda most of you doubted his sincerity and ability to make this come to pass.

The likes of Fayose will be vindicated in the nearest future when he cried out about the islamization agenda.

The better south should wake up

There is a reason they think you are stupid and I must agree they maybe right.

The north has not hidden their agenda to islamize Nigeria from their sharia agitation to boko haram lunacy.

But here you are thinking it is all one big fairy tale of a peaceful multikult happy one nijeriya.

Well, you will be forgiven being that you are a woman who is not entrusted to evolve and protect cultures, identities and borders but one expected to morph into any society we marry you off to.

You seem not to grasp the level of severity of this bill.

It doesn't translate to hijabs in PH to banning of alcohol consumption in Bayes but means that there will exist a federal sharia court with sharia judges and legal consultants.


Meaning that the Federal govt can decide to arraign any suspect at their discretion before a sharia federal court.

With time the sharia federal court will replace the high courts and the Sharia council will be supreme above the Supreme Court.

The churches have been so corrupted that they are incapable of summoning any form of resistance.
Sharia must be shot down.

At the end of the day, it is religion not tribalism nor political affiliation that will bring about the second civil war. Just watch. Central African Republic should come to mind. Christians should wake up from their deep slumber, that's all I have to say.

Sharia must never be allowed in the free regions of SS/SE.

Buhari's plan won't work.

The muslim almajiris should be more worried because their hands will be amputated or be stoned to death at the slightest offence while the potbellied looting muslims politicians who call themselves leaders will go scotfree for all manner of crime committed.

Almajiris, over to you o.

PS; Remember that Buhari has called for total sharia in Nigeria: https://www.nairaland.com/2109252/general-buhari-calls-total-sharia

Buhari calls for Islamisation of Nigeria through TOTAL SHARIA:

And what's this idiot of vice president osunbande doing about it...

Or is he now fully a local representative instead of a mere commissioner??

Waiting for when the country's no2 citizen will begin to hit his head on ground on Fridays...

Yeye man

People need to know what's going on

While Nigerian Christians are more interested in receiving Magic money from the tithe they have paid

yoruba christians watching like mumu as the yoruba muslims drag them to fulani slaughter house of sharia. Pity!

Explosive. But as usual Christians are fast asleep.
It is not even receiving attention on NL talk less of HOR or Senate

Dey will c fire if dey go ahead wit dis.
Southern Senators are dumb a$$!

Op must be high on hard lizard Shiite. You probably do not know what you watched on NTA. How come non other saw what u saw. Let's even assume it went thru second reading, who should you direct your complain/ observations to? It's so easy for pple to say 'this is the reason we want out', this pple want to islamize Nigeria, and so on. But truth is, This set of pple always do what they do best, blaming every other person but themselves. lemme ask, is the house of reps a northern house of reps? Does the op not have a rep from his constituency there? Has he taking steps to find out from his rep what the true situation is,?
If non of these questions is answered then op is sufferring from prolonged hangover.
Only very lazy and extremely slow pple jump to support this kind of fairy tale.
Complaining silly has become a profession in Nigeria due to the fact that our so called 'leaders of tomorrow'have sold out to mediocrity.

Nigeria.a country that the good Lord and the devil has washed off their hands from....For those that are still waiting for uhuru,it's official we are doomed in this God forsaken Country.

I SUPPORT THE SHARIA LAW 10000%.

Hahahahahahah. Propagandist. They will force we all to be muslims by omission and commision. And like rams you all suppose we are. We will chant "apes obey ". You are all very very funny lots. Awaiting when you will accuse buhari of planning a military coup since he has a history there. Nigeria has been an adaptive and robust country with respect to abuse. But yet we all know that everything in life has its breaking point. Nigeria has its and stupid issues like sharia if true . Is one of such. So cool down peeps

I need that page that shows the phone number of this reps as released by sahara reporters. This has to be confirmed ASAP! And something done about it if true!

Thank you!
