Death sentence to person wey desecrate a holy book.... But a slap on the wrist for person wey steal the livelihood of Nigerians.... Yet we wonder why whites refers to us as brainless monkeys

Dead penalty for an imported book?

But no death penalty for looters of public funds? Is the Koran more important than the people of the state? The Koran is just a book, nothing more.

Yes sure, is just a book, for the people like you...

Let's reason this together. No offense.

If the Koran was burnt, what will happen? Will people die? Will the heavens fall to the ground? Will the earth turn to ashes?

What will happen?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

On the other hand, if your governor loots the entire money in the treasury of the state, what will happen?

People will die of hunger for sure.

So, in your opinion, which one deserves a death penalty?

We really have nothing in common with these people...
94 million people live in abject poverty in Nigeria and I'm wondering how this law will benefit the poorest in Zamfara.

Cursed continent! Death sentence cus of an imported religion? Bleep all of you!

So the mere Quran book is more important than the human life? And burning or trashing one attract capital punishment. While senseless stealing and looting of our common patrimony by you politicians will amount to a pat on the back.

Yet u DNT obey dey laws of dey Quran just a shame Sha,Northern Muslims which way oh

you can just ask us politely instead of asking sarcastic or rhetorical questions?? If you're stressed, don't channel your negativity here please. You are a Christian if I'm not mistaken, go do yours and allow others to practice their religion please...

Religion of Peace

The paradox is, the same governor who proposes death sentence for the desecration of the Qur'an grants amnesty to bandits that have taken thousands of human life.

Just sad

Others want to burn a book(paper) with Arabic inscriptions on it; why can't they do that? You muslims, like the religion's central figure, cannot co-exist in a modern society.

He is doing it for politics. Bubu did same when he said he will continue to advocate the spreading of sharia law over Nigeria in 2001. He also said attack on Bokoharam is anti-North and that made him extremely popular. In the North, if you're a fanatic, your popularity increases. Had it been muric guy is a northerner, he would have had massive cult like following! This governor does not believe in Islam doctrines per se but trying to profit from religious fanaticism

the God of Islam appears to be the only wicked God still in existence.

He seems to be too interested in punishing than blessing people. Everything in Islam is haram punishable by death

And since he appears to be too weak to get anything done himself, you his half-educated followers have taken it upon your unintelligent selves to fight his battles for him.

Islam needs an overhaul

you are ringing logical reasoning to person that has fermented brain, check well bro its like calling a lunatic man for excos meeting.

Hausa Muslims don't read Qur'an they are just taking advantage of it. The Qur'an is only useful for politics after that they don't read it ask them well. If they read it we won't have looters and killers in Nigeria.

The Quran is the most unholy nd most devilish book I have ever set my eyes on.

Hypocrites, is this what is important? Rather than face good governance, it's religion they want to use to justify their incompetence and cluelessnes in government

Focus on governance first

Islam needs rebranding

such a law in the poorest and 1 of the most miserable States we have in this federation... Religion is really the opium of the poor..

This religion is more toxic than sniper.
Foolish things

In a state ravaged by bandits

These people are animals

Until you establish an Islamic country for yourselves that isn't Nigeria, I have every right to query what your governor is doing in Zamfara state cause I'm a Nigerian.

Last I checked, Nigeria isn't an Islamic nation. Killing people because they burnt some book which has been replicated a billion times doesn't make sense to anyone with common sense.

Don't you think so?

Burn a Koran publicly in Abuja or near a northern settlement in enugu let's see how sensible you are.

Move along now. The Koran is nothing more than a book printed in some printing press. Finish.
