My ears pricked up when you said there is a coal refining process that is cheaper than crude refining, then I looked up "trope-fische" and as expected, it doesn't seem to exist.
Any links we can look at? Or you have confessions to make?

It is wrong that a diplomat stooped low enough to spill out to a newspaper. Aren't there diplomatic channels open for this sort of complaint?

Things we need to be careful about.
1. The rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana should not become a new tool for divide and rule.
2. Nigeria must shape up fast! Or keep facing disgrace.

Source!

If a diplomat wrote that, he should be hurled out of the country. This is a time for weeping.
. . .Imagine small Ghana!

^One simple fact is, if you guys have strenuously argued that the constitution is illegal; then the whole government is illegal, our passports are illegal. That argument is not funny and is wholly unsustainable.

If you need to go such lengths to defend Sanusi's mind, then it clearly is not worth defending and the argument is not worth having.

Lagosboy:
Although i made a mistake by going to the issue of sharia here as i never wanted to stray arguements and i have even mdofied my post before i realised i had been quoted.

Eevry muslim i repeat believes in sharia in prinicple but its implementation in Nigeria is another issue entirely, Sanusi as muslim say he beleives in it so what is the big fuss. He has advocated for its implementation especially in other region of the country and he hast also said other faths should not advocate for whatever laws the deem fit to suit themsleves.

Why not lets focus on the Sanusi the CBN governor and not islam the faith of sanusi.
When Soludo took the arabic of the naira notes i dont remember such outburst by the whole nation of Soludo a cathlic running a cahtolic christian agenda and trying to christianise the whole country.

Stop being funny man! Is arabic one of our official languages?
Soludo de-Islamised the Naira.

If Soludo has been denying it, its possible that someone desperately wants to draft him in for their purposes. Conversly, Soludo might be the originator and is bargaining from a position of strength.

Lagosboy:
What amazes me is how this sharia issue as crept into a CBN governor going after corprorate thieves

You don't understand? Let the title of the article be your guide. Read it!

Lagosboy:
Sanusi is right in saying what he said and every muslim does. The issue is every muslim believe the laws of God are above any law but he has not said the laws should be used in Abia state. The sharia goes beyond the penal code and that is what sanusi has always said inhis articles that reducing sharia to just the penal code by the nothern establishment is hypocritical and an injustice to islam.

Has Sanusi advocated sharia in the Niger Delta??

Sanusi believes in sharia as a supreme law just as Asari Dokubo will beleive it as well as the laws of the quran. Its implementation and practicallity in the whole Nigeria is a different ball game altogether. Every muslim beleivs in it in principle but the implementation is where everyone differs.No one has said the laws should be used in other parts of nigeria and mind you I am not i support of sharia in the north as it is been practised. The social justice of sharia has to be implemented in full before any penal code. Social justice is not in those sharia states.

Sharap!
Stop being a tribalist and leave where I come from out of your mediocre Sanusi arguments.

goggs:
l respect Sanusi for speaking his mind. his position is clear, anyone who doesn't agree should counter in like manner not tear at his person. its the twenty first century people! how we gonna have sovereign national conference if we are this intolerant?

We need a national conference precisely because we are intolerant. Some would rather force sharia down our throats; we reject it.

Ibime:
We cannot leave the Niger Delta and keep to Sanusi affairs.

When Beaf comes on Nairaland to advocate for Henry Okah, is he not advocating for someone that the constitution defines as a criminal?

Phock speaking in niceties.

The constitution is illegal in so far as it wasnt agreed on by the people, through lawmakers elected in a free and fair manner.

The constitution can never be legal until we have a free and fair election in Nigeria.

So we are now comparing Henry Okah and Sanusi. Do you think that is right? Mind you, one has been in jail.
The Niger Delta issue is one of life and death, something more profound than Sanusi's belief in sharia.

Ibime:
What rubbish! The constitution is illegal in so far as the Govt can come and take your land without offering adequate compensation and drilling for oil on it. Go and tell our brothers in the creeks that the constitution is not illegal.

The fact remains, Sanusi has never opposed a change of constitution that would give us fairplay. His right to Sharia is being respected in so much as his people have the political muscle to make it happen regardless of what the constitution says. His hypocisy would be if he resisted devolvement of power to you also.

I haven't heard anyone in the creeks say they are not Nigerian, we are bound by a constitution that makes us Nigerian.
While the constitution is inadequate, it is definitely not illegal.

Condemning the constitution as illegal is a whole new ball game, is this the ugly birth of a new sharia rebellion? Different from Boko Haram because it has a veneer of pseodo education? We need to be careful.

Lets leave the ND and keep to Sanusi affairs.

^I might not like the constitution, but I don't call it illegal. I might ask for changes and improvements or even a re-write; but I wouldn't call it a fraud. Or on what basis do I call myself Nigerian?

Ibime:
You are making an erronous statement here. What constitution? The present one? Dont hang your hat on the present constitution cos its a fraud.

As Sanusi has had his religious right respected with regard to Sharia, he can only be accused of hypocrisy if he does not also canvass for others to have their rights respected by the constitution. He is not in favour of a lopsided constitution that favours only his kinsmen, so whilst he is happy that his religious right is being respected, he is still canvassing for the constitution to be amended so that the rights of Ijaws, Igbos, Efiks, Yorubas etc are amended. If you wanna hold him to the present constitution, then you should forfeit your right to clamour for a new one.

I hope this is the last time you would bring up this inane argument. No one respects the present constitution and it should provide no framework to judge anyones beliefs. The amendment of the constitution that you and I seek that would devolve power to regions and allow resource control would also allow him to practice his sharia. Whilst the Hausa-Fulani in general prefer the status-quo, Sanusi is not part of that. Direct you misdirected anger at the Hausa-Fulani lawmakers rather than Sanusi. Your beef is that they implemented true federalism for themselves without granting it to you. Well Sanusi has never been part of their polity that argued that you should be denied the dividends of federalism.

How can anyone even begin to argue with such shocking a point of view? Are the government and the CBN illegal too?
No wonder you guys keep saying the country is not secular (even though the constitution says so). Shock! Horror!

^I don't care how he found time for his sharia writeups. That does not make him a good governor of the CBN.
We all find time for the things that interest us.

Ibime:
Really? Knowledge of one's culture does not denote ignorance of anothers plight.

I think your fear of his culture speaks more about you, than his knowledge of his culture speaks about him.

Fear of his culture? I must remind you here that sharia is a set of religious laws not a culture.

Your extract on his views of the Igbo is unfortunate for the parts that you missed out. Perhaps you have not read the full article. What did he end up calling the Igbo people, was it foolish? That is what is most important.
Also, what were the points he outlined as important for a national conference? Was sharia one of them? That is also important.

If anything, that article exposed Sanusi's mind as sharia guided, rather than secular according to the demands of our constitution. It is sensible to be wary of that and that awareness does not equate to fear of his culture.

Going by your guidelines; I might as well admire Evangelist Helen Ukpabio, because she might write a goodish essay and might think Nigeria should not be secular, but be guided by the laws of her church (clearly against the constituition). I condemn her for the same reasons that I condemn Sanusi.

Lets not be ridiculous.

Dis Guy:
and the worrying thing about it is that, they see nothing wrong with hating the other parts of the country, their culture, their way of life but they think others are tribalist when they bare their mind

Bigots pointing their fingers. Lets not get silly and start talking about hating other parts of the country, you sound like someone with a weak mind and a big chip on their shoulder.

I'm sure you will never find any of us promoting a christian Nigeria over a secular one, But you folk have been saying openly that you do not see Nigeria as secular, rather you see it as multi-religious (exactly Sanusi's dangerous point of view).

You are the bigots, making dangerous Boko Haram style arguments against the Nigerian constitution to promote a non-secular state.

Jarus:
You took this from my mouth! That was exactly what I wanted to say. Or was Gani also not a progressive for marrying more than one wife?

Stop being ridiculous. Gani and Sanusi cannot be mentioned in the same breath, one was governed by the rule of law and giving voice to the plight of the common man; the other see's the World strictly through sharia.
Gani was never responsible for the wrecking of a nascent institution and for goodness sake, was almost 72.

Lets not belittle Gani by comparing him to a clown like Sanusi.

^Bigots? This is now becoming a "my shrine to Sanusi is bigger than yours" thing. Get a life.

You don't know what to do? Close the gate fast! Then get one her friends and bang her remorslessly from Sokoto to Akure; make sure your ex hears her panting, sighing, groaning and joyful screaming.

If you go ahead with marriage, be ready to move DNA test equipment into your house and you will always claim that "your" kids look like you when all others don't think so.
Each time you pass, neighbours will snigger.
Your boss will always visit at odd times. . . etc.

Always offer blowjobs instead of saying hi. He might not love you, but you will control his sorry life.
