No virgin, no love and no marriage.

She must be good and also be a virgin.

Basalt:
How please?
Because I don't understand how Yoruba is dealing with Igbos ruthlessly.
The last time I checked, Igbos are booming and erecting structures and even refusing to participate in hunger protests.
So you must be day dreaming to think that Igbos are being dealt with ruthlessly

Former Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, has contributed to the raging debate over Sharia panel in the South-West, describing opposition to it as a demonstration of ignorance.

Daily Trust reports that there has been controversy over the planned establishment of Sharia Panel in Oyo State and other states in the South-West.

In Ekiti where the panel was established, the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adeyemo Adejugbe, summoned the Chief Imam of Ado Ekiti, Shaykh Jamiu Kewulere, and ordered the disbandment of the panel.

Some Yoruba activists have also opposed the panel, citing the secularity of the Yoruba tribe.

They argued that Sharia states are currently “theatres of war, strife, killings and kidnapping driven by crisis of faith while the Sharia states also have the highest rate of instability in Nigeria.”

But Muslim leaders have also argued that the panels being proposed were mere arbitration panels which would deal with civil matters like marriage, divorce, inheritance, among Muslims.

Speaking on the debate, Shittu in an interview on a television station stated that it is ignorance that is breeding the opposition to the panel establishment.

He said the panels have been in existence in some states for over a decade, adjudicating on civil matters among Muslims.

He said, “In Yorubaland, whether governors or the so-called Yoruba activists, their problem is ignorance of the constitution of Nigeria.

“Sharia is about fundamental human rights in relation to religion. The constitution guarantees freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

“What is the sense of two Muslims going to get married in the mosque under Sharia Law, when they want to divorce, you ask them to go to a Customary Court which may be completely made up of even Christians, animists or people who do not understand the law under which these people got married.

“Common sense dictates that the law under which you married should be the one to be used in deciding on your divorce In Oyo State, there has been a Sharia Panel and in Lagos State for more than 10 years. What crisis has it caused to anybody? Has any Christian or non-Muslims been drafted to a Sharia Court?

“These constitutional fundamental religious rights are inherent in you as a human being whether in Ekiti or anywhere, people have a right to determine under which law they manage their affairs. I expect the Muslim Community in those states would take the government or people trying to disturb their peace to court.

Very good questions . Only if the guy will ever answer your questions

Jagaban2012:
Is Bode George an economist? You see, there are some questions that a knowledgeable person should ask before spreading information.

This person is a retired naval officer who has no knowledge of the economy...now you know.Bode George was among those who stated that if Tinubu won the election, he would return to Ghana; however, he has yet to do so. Is this the person you want to take seriously? Someone who spent several years in prison.

Softmirror:
The mere fact that Farotimi have remained silent in submission to Babalola since after Babalola withdrew the case only shows that Farotimi is a ...................(You can fill in the gap)

“When he came in 2023, a litre of petrol was less than N200 and in the exchange rate market, Naira was less than N800 to a dollar. What do we have today? What exactly is the economic policy of this administration? President Tinubu, Nigerians demand a quick answer to this important question.

IfyfastX:

My thoughts exactly! I guess they want to enjoy their own 16 years of rot

The All Progressives Congress Support Vanguard, APCSV, has faulted the failure of presidential aides to respond to former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi’s recent criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.


According to the group, it is unfair for party members, especially appointed aides, to pretend not to understand the implications recent statements made made by Amaechi and others.

In a statement signed by its chairman, Abdullahi Mohammed Tofa, the APC group says, “Aside the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, who issued a warning to the former Minister of Transportation over what he described as reckless and inciting statements regarding the leadership of President Bola Tinubu, we are yet to see others that rose in defense of Tinubu.”


“Former Minister of Transportation warning that President Bola Tinubu will not relinquish power to the younger generation without resistance and pushing for alleged do-or-die election is dangerous to our existence as a people.

“For anyone to make public statements such as, “If you think Tinubu will just give you power, you are wasting your time”, is nothing but an incitement.

“And seeing majority of his aides maintain sealed lips leave a lots to be worried about.


“We recall how same Amaechi in 2024 questioned the preparedness of President Bola Tinubu on the removal of the fuel subsidy and returning again in 2025 to say the political class, including President Bola Tinubu, would not willingly cede power to the younger generation.

“We are not against criticism of any sort but let it be such that will be constructive and not overheat the polity.

“As a concerned support group who are disturbed about the unwarranted attacks on Tinubu within the party hierarchy, we call on appointees, the party structure and friends of the President to reply Amaechi immediately and put the records straight,” the APC group added.

But trump is your man for trying to make America great again by making Draconian disruptive orders......kemi badenoch is great because she is being bold in condeming her own country and people so has to warm herself to conservative British ideology.......but to you tinubu is evil for trying to stop the haemorrhaging of the economy by stopping subsidy on PMS and the dollar,trying to reform and restructure the country just because he defeated your neo fascist leader who is busy deceiving you that there is an easy way out of our economic mess!!

Ojuntana:
There seems to be no concrete steps being taken.
The recently announce import waiver for food was never implemented.

Responsible govts all over the world introduced measures from both the monetary and fiscal side to fight inflation but we're not seeing any traction from these guys

Even the interest rates they've been adjusting is so far below the inflation line.

I hope they are not trying to get NBS to release a new figure soon showing reduction and they'll claim it as evidence they are doing something and things are getting better

meditator:
Peter Obi did nothing in Anambara but today, he wants to be President, yet u support him. I want to make it clear to you that Obi will never be President of Nigeria.

APC urged Nigerians to ensure that the PDP did not return to power following the alleged rot it left behind after ruling the country for 16 years

helinues:
