Then why crying of Sharia law in the north?

Who cried against Sharia law?

In their domain, Sharia stands what we won't accept is foisting Sharia all over Nigeria.

Same way NDI IGBO will not foist their OMEN'ALA on the entirety of the Nigerian enclave.

We will also take the yoruba judge if he can make a judicial pronoucement that women can be Emirs and Sultan of Sokoto. He should try it if he is not a cowardly yorubaman.

I think we Igbos are becoming too pacifist probably due to 'overeducation'. What a yoruba judge will not dare with the Fulanis, he will experiment with the Igbos. See finish.

What’s my own with Emir or Sultan of Sokoto.

Both Igbos and Hausa need to be dealt with with the long arm of the law in terms of cultural and religious practices.

The Hausa people need to be saved from their own religious practices that is too extreme and the Supreme Court should start from abolishing the Shariah law that is in place in some part of the North. We are a secular country and Shariah shouldn’t be a law in this part of the world.

Likewise, the Supreme Court need to save the Igbos from their cultural practices too. We are in the 21st century and there are some laws that should have been abolished long time ago.

Nope, your education is not reflecting in your culture or way of life. Even your professors still reason like 12th century men coz if not they should have been at the front clamoring for total abolishment of OSU and this women inheritance issue. But no, they all keep mum until the Yoruba judge saved them from themselves.

Shame on you hypocritical fool.

What is my business with your Sharia law? They want to live how they want to live, you yorubas who are naturally meddlesome, are the ones who think you can determine how others should live, yet you bury your kings with human heads after cannibalizing the corpse of your dead kings.

Pull out the log in your eyes, your yoruba tradition is largely dastardly. Reform it, Oga 'female emancipator'.

Good...that means you have read down.
So what has what you posted got to do with injustice or Osu caste system?
You're definitely against the supreme court judgement which invariably means you support the subjugation of the female child or what injustice can be greater than the profiling of children base on their gender.
You gave birth to two children (a boy and a girl) and after your demise the boy takes all your estates and your daughter is left with nothing and you say that's not injustice or you gave birth to only female children and you die without a will and your brothers and uncles chase them out of their father's property(ies) because they are female children and you call that justice?

I only brought the comparison of sharia and the Osu caste system to expose your hypocricy.
You malign the north for religiously sticking to their inhumane traditions and Laws (Sharia) but here you're running from pillar to post justifying that of yours.

That is hypocritical of you.

According to the Evidence Act, a High Court Judge
can rule against any custom whic he considers to be against 'good conscience.' etc. To the Igwe, the
Supreme Court can effect the abandonment of age-old customs. Even the High Court can. However, I think this is stale news. That groundbreaking

You don't compare Igbo man with other Nigerian. Igbo is Igbo and hausa is an hausa the same as other tribe. Nigeria is not a tribe or have culture, neither do Nigeria have a religion.

We are Nigerian by paper and our tribe in blood and soul, everything in Nigeria is different from one tribe to the other then where is Nigeria in the mist of culture except appearance of uniform security, which at north that uniform security is not respected or recognize than sharia police.

so nothing as Nigeria execpt in paper and by force. Nothing can change the culture of traditional worshipers in Igboland, not even the God of Jews can change the way of traditional worshipers in Igboland. A Yoruba man interpret igbo culture as he wish and give verdict for who to follow. unless any Igboman that doesn't raise his children as Igbo, example born and remain in Lagos, or north can practice what they like there but when they enter Igboland there eyes will clear. there's Nigeria and there's tribe and customs that can't be tampered till Nigerian divide. have it in mind that Nigeria you see today will come to end some day, i don't know when but it will happen.

Ipob property grabbers won't like this ruling, that's why they forbid their daughters from marrying other tribes cos of property.

People from the Anambra extraction will really protest this ruling, the only reason their girls marry outside is to kill the groom and inherit his prooopeeerty.

We are not talking about Regents who are even lesser than local councillors, we are talking of the highest royal stools in yorubaland Ooni, Alaafin, Awujale and Alake, etc. Why are yorubas discriminating against their females from attaining those revered traditional positions.

yoruba jibiti and their half-baked arguments as always.


Yoruba have had a female Ooni and Alaafin in the past.

And Yoruba are not discriminating against their females from attaining those position but a king suppose to be a male character just like in most part of the world.


Same way it is difficult for a woman to become Nigerian president, same way it is difficult for a woman to become USA president and most part of the world. That's also same way it is difficult for a woman to attain those position in Yoruba Land

Yoruba women are not ban from those positions because we have had female monarchs in the past but it is just difficult to find a woman that have the leadership qualities for the position.


Christianity and Islam is one of the major reasons stopping women from competing for those positions in Yoruba Land. If a woman feel cheated she can take it to the court to fight for her right, there is no law that ban a woman from becoming a king in Yoruba Land.

Lol that’s stale.

Yes it happened in the past in some Yoruba kingship but there have been lot of reforms with lot of Kings doing away with such traditions of the old.

Those traditions of the old world have been fought constantly and many kings are even proud of their Christianity or Islam ways of life and they have rightly modified laws of the palace from the old ways that some of our ancestors once lived.

Just like slavery is now a thing of disgrace for the white because their ancestors did that, but the present generation of white men are against that and they always make sure they fight against that.

However, the Igbos failed to let go of the past and continue to defend the archaic cultural practices in this 21st century.

A father's ancestral land belongs to the Nigerian government and under Nigerian law women have a right to own lands and properties.
Just because a woman has not challenged it in your village or that it is not common to you does not mean that it has not happened or that it is impossible

When a common Baale (local chief) in yorubaland dies, an unofficial curfew is declared nightly. Why? Because yoruba youths will be out at night hunting for human heads with which to bury him.

It is a welcome development for the part of igboland that totally disinherit their female children. However no igbo lady is expected to drag land with her male siblings or uncles after the demise of the man. But other properties like investments and so on should be share among all be it male or female. where i come from in Igboland we (females) are gifted all the necessities. Our duties are to make sure our male siblings live in peace and harmony not drag properties.
