The Kano State Government has banned persons of opposite genders from plying same commercial tricycles across the state from January, 2020, an official has announced.

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje revealed this on Wednesday at the closing ceremony of 77th annual Islamic Vacation Course (IVC) organised by Zone A of Muslim Society of Nigeria (MSSN) held at Bayero University, Kano.

Mr Ganduje, who was represented by Commander General of Hisbah Board, Harun Ibn-Sina, said the state government is committed towards upholding Islamic values.

Commercial tricycles, popularly known as ‘A daidaita sahu’ in Kano, were introduced by a former governor of Kano, Ibrahim Shekarau, as a means of transportation for women only.
This was after Mr Shekarau’s government banned commercial motorcyclists from conveying women.

Since Mr Shekarau’s exit as governor, however, tricycles have been allowed to carry people of both sexes, a move the state government has now said will be changed.

Meanwhile, Governor Ganduje at the event charged participants to face their studies and shun drug abuse.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how during his address at the event, the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar lll, faulted the Christian Associstion of Nigeria’s reaction to a United States classification of Nigeria as one of the nations where religous freedom is not guaranteed.

In his address, the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi ll, cautioned Muslims against “growing their needs beyond their resources.”

The emir attributed the increasing rate of out of school children in Muslim North to “uncontrolled polygamy and high rate of divorce.”

The Islamic Vacation Course (IVC) was attended by students of secondary schools and tertiary instinstitutions from the 19 Northern states and Abuja.

This is just nonsense. The world is progressing while the North chose to remain backward in their thinking.

What is the effect of this policy? Will it stop fornication?

Well all man to himself. They are grown ups and they can decide how to live their life. In as much as they don’t bring the craze to the national scene, then everyone should be good.

Believe it or not Buhari's sole reason for constesting presidential elections is to advance the cause of Islamic Sharia law all over Nigeria and Fulanization. Nothing more nothing less. He doesn't care about economy or wellbeing of all Nigerians especially Middle Belt and Southern Nigerian christians.

LegendHer0:


It’s not possible to implement shariah law nationally. No one can do that in Nigeria not even Buhari.

The issue bedeviling Nigerians is the constant paranoia and the attribution of too much powers to the Fulanis like we always do.

How exactly will Buhari implement Shariah on the south with the Christian population? Even we the Muslims in the south won’t accept Shariah law let alone the Christians.

No matter how I try to fathom it, it just dosen’t make sense and I don’t see any government that will forcefully implement shariah law or Islamization on the south. Not even during the military government let alone democratic regime.
