I don't stay in Ilorin and haven't lived there before but somone who did in the past has busted the guy's lies already.

So you know, this cannot happen in the South West and that's why both Muslims and non muslims are saying no to the call for Sharia in the South west

This cannever happen in Edo,No politician can ever try it maybe because the king is not handpicked, chosen or appointed by politicians but ordained...

It is only a matter of time before it happens. You just need a governor who is crazy enough and does not regard the Oba enough for it to happen.

raumdeuter:
What is power? What makes kings powerful in those days have been stripped from them. Now they are mostly ceremonial
200yrs ago, Alaafin was the only authority in Oyo land, or say supreme authority, he collects the taxes, he allocates land and settle disputes

All these functions have been taken over by politicians and govt. So Oba can say you own this land and Edo State governor can say the opposite,, The governor wins. If you pay taxes to Oba of Lagos and SanwoOlu comes for his taxes, SanwoOlu is superior etc

All these acts have made kings and traditional institutions redundant. Even in UK there was a poll that almost half supports removing the monarchy. 200yrs ago this thought was treason and punishable by death

I just think time has overtaken these institution. What you now have is actors just wearing decorative gowns and crowns without real authority and power

Una don abuse the word "agenda" in this thread. Sotey most people don sit down dey look. No quality/logical discussion cox everything now na agenda

Oga you arguing against the obvious and you want to be pat on the back that you are doing well abi?

Right on this thread you see practising muslims of South west origin who know what Sharia entails rejecting call for Sharia in the South west but somehow you think you know more than they do?

If you want to talk about quality/logical discussion then you have to bring one to the table. As of now you have not been able to come up with anything to show that there is religious intolerance in the south west where we have Christians, Muslims and ATR worshippers living peacefully at the family level and community level as a whole. There are videos of Celestial Pastors going to Maloud Nobbiyy organized by imams, Alhajis being made father of the day at Church harvests, etc.

No be u go tell us wetin we dey experience everyday in this part of the country abeg.

normal, police na for all round offence.

If na normal country, waiting dem supposed do na to hand the person over to the right agency for prosecution..

But dem must extort

If police is supposed to be for all rounda offence, then why creat other law enforcement agencies?

The truth is the police usurp the powers of other law enforcement agents simply because they have guns. For example police has no right to arrest anybody smoking weed, it is the job of NDLEA. At best, police can only assist them as a sister agency and leave the detention and prosecution of the suspect to NDLEA but the bail money will not allow Nigeria police act right at all.

Don't mind him. I saw his post on a front page topic saying "I support Sharia in South West" . He probably believes he's playing the devil's advocate but it is quite easy to see and know from what angle he is coming from.

The same person wey dey bash religious people unprovoked all over the place suddenly loves and supports Sharia in the South west

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
How can you be preaching religious tolerance and at the same time you support religious discrimination because people involved are private employer? Especially in a state were we probably have Muslims as majority.


This is a government institution holding training in a church, refusing Muslims staff the right to pray in the premises.

https://muslimnews.com.ng/2019/12/17/exposed-how-lastma-violated-muslim-officers-rights/

Can Christians accept such venue/treatment?

When izzou said you were on an agenda you denied , but look at you here acting true to character. You are not even beating the allegation.

Just look at you trying to pin a government agency's irresponsibility to religious intolerance. For starters the government agency acted irresponsibly to have taken their induction/training activity to a religious ground knowing fully well that the religious agency has its dos and don'ts for guests on the premises of the church. Whoever had taken that irresponsible decision should be dealt with by the government but we all know this is Nigeria where civil servants get away with all sorts of misbehavior. Till date Sanwoolu's aides still post bigotry stuff regularly and nobody has really cautioned them for it. That is public service wahala.

That being said , u need to bring a real proof of extreme religious intolerance in which people have been denied their right to practise their religion in the South west if u want me to take u serious and engage u further. At best, what u are doing currently is that joke about how police solve crime in different countries. In the joke they said Nigeria police will solve the case of a goat eating foodstuff by capturing a rabbit, beat the living day light out of it and the rabbit will confess it is a goat at the end of the day (case solved). That is what u are doing here; u want to muddle any news u see up and call it RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN THE SOUTH WEST.

afrodoc2:
The devil is in the details.

The first major difference is when, why, and how each party got their power/authority.

The British monarch was close to all powerful for a long time until the powers were slowly stripped away by parliament and the ministers were initially essentially only the top servants of the monarch, until the 1700s when the prime minister used a period of non-English speaking monarchs to strip away yet more power. Over time this was solidified in law.
The monarch was the top dog initially and only over time did the other parties rise in power from the (forced) gifts from the monarch.

The Nigerian situation is a bit different. The British had already stripped our monarchs of power and authority and when they left these powers were vested in our new order elected officials. The elected officials (at other times military rulers) are the ones who out of the goodness of their hearts continue to keep and pay for these monarchs.

Hmmmm. Now I get . More like the English monarch at some point was the almighty and now that the monarch isn't any more, the monarch still commands respect and can not be pushed aside just like that by the politicians .

As per the bolded, u no kuku lie. Our traditional rulers are just enjoying the good grace of the current politicians'. That is why I'm laughing at the so called Oyomesi that said they will go to court to challenge Seyi Makinde, people wey be say the Commissioner for Local government and chieftaincy matters fit just issue them sack letter any day or make the governor revoke the C of O to their properties in various parts of the state.

The girl is not asking the right question

The lady thinks she knows but she doesn't. She probably thinks there's a limit to the amount of money u can spray or "abuse" before u are charged for abuse of naira.

Normal normal na EFCC supposed to go after finance and economic crime like abuse of naira, but as u are making any law or creating an additional law enforcement agency; the Nigerian police force guys dey one corner dey rub their hands and lick their lips cos they are about eat real good

E no get any offence wey police no dey arrest person for this country. Police wey dey arrest people wey dem meet Viagra tablet for their pocket say dem dey use drugs

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
This is an interesting topic. I have some few questions.

1)If Islam got to Yoruba land through trade with Malians who were predominantly Muslims and the Yorubas were doing Islam long before the Hausa.
How come the Sultan is the head of Muslims faithfuls in Nigeria??

The talk about about Sultan of Sokoto being the head of Muslim faithfuls in Nigeria is a political arrangement. More like politicization of religion; it is just like having Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in which Some Christian religions leaders belong and they decide to elect chairman/president amongst themselves periodically.

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs was not a thing until the 1970's when they had a conference in Kaduna in 1973 and the council was established. So it is more like a political arrangement which was not in existence until 50 years ago. Do u want to tell me that Muslims have not been fasting in the South West and South South long before then and they've not been sighting moon? the NSCIA is just a political arrangement which CAN some Muslims don't even regard like that.

2) Historical facts does not support your position that there's religious tolerance. If there's religious tolerance, why are Muslims forced to sit at home during Oro festival?

What do you mean by: "Historical facts does not support your position that there's religious tolerance" ?

I literally told you that in history of the South West we've never had any major war or civil war fought whose root cause is hinged on religious differences. We've not had crisis like the ones they had in Zaria that is about Christian and Muslims going band for band with violence. If you have the list please share here.


According to Juayd Greer..

3) There are records of marginalization of Muslims. Example below.



https://gazettengr.com/farooq-kperogi-ikoyi-tragedy-and-casual-bigotry-against-yoruba-muslims/

A private employer says he doen't want to employ an individual who doesn't share the same religious faith with him and you say that is religious intolerance?

Do u even know the difference between religious intolerance and discrimination?

What was narrated in that passage was a case of discrimination which is based on the bias of the MD of the company. It happens almost everywhere. There are people who would not like u because u are Igbo, there are people who would not allow you near their home because you eat pork and there are people who wouldn't even allow u to treat them as doctor because u are female. These are instances of discrimination which in itself is a bad thing.

But we are talking about tolerance: "Live and let live". Do ur thing and let me do my own thing. For example When I was in the north I know a particular church that was denied land they already paid for simply because the community found out late because it was going to be used to build a church. The person who owns the land donated it to his church who had already started building on it before the community found out it will be a church. The community claimed the location of the land is close to the entrance of the town and it is inappropriate for visitors to enter an Islamic town and the first sight they will behold is a Mosque.

So the community asked the church to halt all construction activities and gave the church a land in the inner part of the town. The church were shocked but had no choice but to take up the "magnanimous gift " of their host and started building on the new land. The church was completed on the new piece of land and afterwards every other denomination just took a cue and built their respective churches near the new church. That area was then renamed "Angwa Church "meaning Church area. This is not a made-up story but something that did happen and I personally heard it from people who lived through that period.

Can u compare this to the South West where u have a Mosque and ATR worshippers shrine on the same street? In fact there's one of such in Agidingbi, Ikeja. That is religious tolerance.

As regards ur talk about Oro, there are customary laws in the South here. They even make announcement on radio for everyone to observe the Oro curfew in line with the customary laws of the land

Nigeria police craze sha , that's all I can say.

@afrodoc Just yesterday I was lost in self-thought and It some point I was thinking about the evil colonialism did to our traditional institutions.

I know our Colonial Masters (the British) practise constitutional monarchy in their own country such that the Monarch(Queen or King as the case may be) is the head of state and the prime minister is the head of government. The Prime being the head of government will get to that position by being a politician who plays all kinds of politics to retain his seat while the monarch is hereditary.

To the best of my knowledge, as much as the Prime minister is the head of government he doesn't have such powers to dethrone the monarch even if they disagree over matters of state/governance. The prime minister cannot just wake one day and sack the king/queen and appoint someone else as replacement.

Ironically, over here in Nigeria even the most powerful 1st class monarchs are at the mercy of politicians. Ordinary commissioner for Chieftaincy and traditional matters can set better leg for ruling 1st Class king like Olubadan. We all saw what Ajimobi did to the Ibadan traditional institution while he was governor, we also saw what Obaseki did to Oba of Benin; na small remain make he dethrone am sef.

Why is it that everything is upside down here in Africa and Nigeria in particular? Why is it that when we copy things we don't copy it well and everything always come out mushy?

afrodoc2:
If you know about the Protestant Reformation in Europe in the 1500s, Dan Fodio's revolution was a bit similar. He did not believe that they were practicing Islam the right way and wanted stricter adherence to Islamic Fiqh as well as the complete eradication of idolatry. The Hausa at that time used to practice Islam the way many Yorubas still practice it. You have your Islam as your starting striker but if things get dicey you fit sub Obatala in to nick a last-minute winner.

He also criticized the rulers for their greed and over taxation of the lower classes, which led to him gaining popular support for his revolution

The cynic in me thinks he also just wanted to replace the Hausa rulers with his Fulani brethren but then maybe i just get bad mind.

Hmmm....Now I get.

As regards the bolded, this has always been the MO of most dictators in history; they first come up as the saviour of the people posturing as helping them fight their overbearing leaders only for them to turn out worse.

Abeg make dem carry their Sharia keep for the North, we don't want it in the South West.

afrodoc2:
Islam got to the North West nearly a thousand years ago. By the 1300s the rulers of Kano were Muslims themselves which is why they started being referred to as Sultans and started bearing Islamic names. An example is the famous Muhammad Rumfa who in the 1400s built the Great Mosque in Kano and was instrumental in converting the majority of the population.

Same thing happened in Katsina around the 1400s and to a lesser extent Zaria.

Wow! I didn't know this before , now I do.

But I'm curious: Why then did Usman Dan Fodio now sack the Muslims he met in those places and imposed his own guys to Lord over them?

afrodoc2:
Good write up and you made some interesting points. You summarised the reason for the lack of religious strife in Yorubaland quite well.

A point of correction though. It was not Dan Fodio’s 19th century jihad that introduced Islam to Hausaland.

When I mean Hausa Land I am talking about the modern day North West and not North East which was Borno Empire that had long been practicing Islam before Usman Dan Fodio's war in the North West that sacked original Hausa rulers.


If I am still wrong, then I am open to more learning.

iamoyindamola:
Also, ilorin produce 90% of sheikh in SW and it's becoming saturated
They have to migrate to other parts of SW there by bringing some of their extreme measures with them

Yes, Ilorin people inherited the Jihadist mentality going by how Islam was introduced to them; by conquest.

Islam in other parts of Yoruba land was introduced to them and they accepted willingly without any compulsion or fear of war. The fact that Ilorin people just like the Hausa people were introduced to Islam by war, it makes them always take the war path anytime issue about religion comes up.

Just take a look at anytime any major religious issue crops up, they will always be at the fore front dishing out threats after threats. The fact that they are moving to other parts of Yoruba land and being welcomed with open hands; the implication is what we are seeing now.

i have been saying for months that there is a mass migratio of northerners down south, fleeing from the outcomes of their politics and decisions to a more liberal south

and just s is the case with muslim conservative refugees everywhere - once they are settled in, they want to remake the place they now reside into the shape of the place they fled from.

There is no lie in this at all.

I also think some few genuine Yorubas too went to study in countries like Yemen, Iran , etc and brought with them this brand of intolerant Islam that they have been slowly propagating. They seem to have the MSS unit of major Universities in Yoruba land as their recruitment ground. I saw some of their indoctrinated students while in school, even some of their fellow Muslims who know what they are going to become avoid them.

Oga Semid will come and tell u that if he passes MRI scan for U-17 during trials, then he is Under 17 years of age

HISTORICAL CONTEXT TO ISLAM IN YORUBA LAND

Let me start by saying that prior to Nigeria's independence in 1960, there were 3 major religions that held sway in Yoruba land(The modern day southwest which includes Lagos State) namely; African Traditional Religion(ATR), Christianity and Islam. Long before Usman Danfodio fought the Jihad that led to introduction of Islam to Hausa land in the 19th Centuries, historical records show that Islam has long been in Yoruba land as far back as the 14th Century.

Islam got into Yoruba land through trade with Malians who were predominantly Muslims already at the height of the Malian empire. This is why in Yoruba land Islam is referred to as "esin imale" (which means religion of the Malians). There's an historical account that claims that Sango(one of the Alaafin of the old Oyo empire) learnt about Islam long before he became an Alaafin and was even one of the people that supported growth of Islam in Yoruba land despite be an adherent of the ATR and his mystical powers. It was said that he donated towards the construction of the first mosque in old Oyo Empire.


RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IN YORUBA LAND

Having set the historical context as to how Islam came to being in Yoruba land, it is important to note that Muslims, Christians and ATR worshippers over time have found a way to live together amongst themselves over time . It is normal for humans to have disputes amongst themselves, it is normal for humans to cross some lines when dealing with fellow humans who may seem not to be following the same path or see things from the same viewpoint, but nonetheless religion has not been the reason for any of the wars recorded in the Yoruba history up till this moment. The Yorubas may fight over land, fight over who gets royalty ,fight over superiority of the king of a town over the king of another town, etc; but not about what religion Mr. A and what Mr B practices nor about what religion town A practices and what what town Z practices. This in fact shows how religious tolerance is not just a myth in Yoruba land but a reality.

MODERN DAY PRACTISE OF ISLAM IN YORUBA LAND AND EXTREMISM.

Growing up in Yoruba land whether you are a Christian, ATR, atheist , or non Muslim in general, almost everyone is surrounded by Muslims whom we've now grown to know to be liberal Muslims. i.e. people who just want to practice their Islam, get along with their neighbors , sort whatever issue they have with anybody without declaring any Fatwa and respect the tradition and customs of the land. This particular set of Muslims comprise a vast majority of Muslims in Yoruba land . They have no issue with their Christian neighbor looking after their kids in their absence, they have issue with an Isese worshipper doing their festival provided they don't forbid him from observing his 5 times daily prayers and they do not deliberately set out to provoke adherents of other religions and non religious people alike.

While the aforementioned people abound in numbers in Yoruba land, there seem to a growing number of extremists who have been springing up over the years. These set of Muslims do not believe in the principle of "Live and let live" , they would leave their space and delibrately set out to provoke non adherents of their own version of Islam.My dad told me about "ajagbemokeferi" , the spirited Muslim crusader who delibrately set out to provoke ATR worshippers and always set up his Islamic lectures on the date of ATR worshippers' festivals in the 1950's in Lagos . At the end , he was murdered by ATR wrshippers who felt they've had enough from him. The Liberal Muslims are not spared when these set of extremists do their thing. One of them recently claimed " An Imam in Yoruba land is higher than Ooni of Ife or any other traditional ruler in Yoruba Land" . While in school we came across quite a handful of them with their brand of Islam deliberately set out to provoke an angry reach from you a non Muslim. Some of the things they preach which attacks the fibre of the Omoluabi culture Yorubas are known for is for example, they believe "a child should not prostrate for his parents because ur parents are not God ", "A groom should not prostrate to the bride's family at his wedding ceremony as it is expected in Yoruba culture. Why? Because they are also not his God". These and many more they have been propagating which is even shocking to their fellow Muslims who are equally Yorubas. I personally know quite a handful of them whom their family have almost disowned because they just can't seem to place where exactly this their extremism is coming from.

THE CALL FOR SHARIA IN YORUBA LAND/SOUTH WEST

It must be said without mincing words that for a while now, THE SOUTHWEST/YORUBA LAND HAS BEEN SITTING ON A KEG OF GUN POWDER which may sooner or later blow up in our faces. The aforementioned extremists have been bidding their time and for some reason they seem to believe the success of the Muslim/Muslim ticket of the APC at the General Elections in 2023 is a signal for them to come to the fore and bare their fangs. They seem to believe that it is either now or never for them to come all out and turn Yoruba Land to what Hausa land has become, to turn Yoruba Land to what became of Ilorin where the ATR worshippers are getting their rights trampled upon by the extremist Muslims who have every machinery of the state at their disposal. It is no surprise that the Sultan of Sokoto and some northern voices on the social media very much interested in this call for Sharia in Yoruba land even when those of us from the South west are not meddling in their Sharia system in the North.

As for those saying Sharia is not binding on non-Muslims, everyone who has been to the northern states where they have Sharia system operational knows that cannot be farther from the truth. Thank God for NYSC, some of us saw Sharia in its full glory and it is not what anybody desires to be replicated in Yoruba land except for the few Muslim extremists in Yoruba Land.

Yoruba Land is a secular nation where everyone is allowed to practice their religion or irreligion (as the case may be ) , without having to create any special adjudication panel/court system. Whatever anybody may claim they need a sharia panel/court for, it is well provided for under respective state's customary laws and civil/criminal laws. The South west is not a "one-majority-religion" state and no religion should be allowed to dominate another. Anybody that wants Sharia should go to where Sharia is being practiced and enjoy the goodies that comes with it.

I once suggested this especially when Saka go jump leg against Brighton when that contact would have been a pure pk and a possible 3pts

I noticed most top teams have high frequency PKs and that's because they exploit any trailing legs expertly. It's no crime to do that at all especially when the defenders are careless. Against Bournemouth last season, after our huffing and puffing, it was smart play by Havertz to cleverly force a pk from Bournemouth keeper that opened the flood gates(2nd leg). Same thing against Crystal palace first leg when Nketiah forced a pk from their keeper (which resulted in our only goal of the game).
Odegaard had exact same scenario as Saka(vs Brighton) against Bournemouth last season (1st leg) and he quickly exploited the defender's carelessness.

It's not always nice to be "righteous" especially in football. We were during Wenger time and we saw how it backfired spectacularly.

When u do what u are suggesting , u are putting the players at a risk of getting booked for diving. It will only worsen our red card situation that’s already bad.

Players should not be training on how to win penalty in games ; it’s kinda anti-football . Any coach that starts to teach his players that in training is just not ready to play football and only wants to be relying on luck because PK award is usually luck.

That trailing leg u are asking our players to always target so as to commit opponents’ defenders ; it will backfire when the defender withdraws his leg at the dying minutes and our player is adjudged to have dived.

We can work on other aspects of scoring goals legally like playing more outside shots and not always trying to waltz our way into the back of the net. For example , I’ve seen teams score well placed shots against Ederson of man city severally while we are not known for blasting our way to the back of the net against him until that Calafiori goal. We can have our players train on being aware to play such shots too instead of just trying to dribble or pass to the back of the net. They can have training sessions with someone like Havertz whose shot is always week and doesn’t threaten any goalkeeper .

daveP:
I really want us to reignite our PK sector. We can go weeks or months without one, across all competitions. At least let's add it to our "dark arts"
This one go sweet belle. Jover over to you o. Find a way. We'll need this in the UCL in particular.

There's nothing wrong with our "PK sector". If we are fouled in the box or an opponent handles the ball in the box while it's in play we will definitely get penalty.

Winning penalty is not something any reasonable team should be wasting time in training to practice. How do u even train a team to win penalty? 🤦‍♂️. If u are doing that , it simply means u are not ready to play at all, u will just kill the footballing spirit of ur players .
