[size=15pt]Shari’ah states seek constitutional amendment for rights of Muslims[/size]

Adamu Suleiman, 26/03/2011 01:50:00




The 5th National Conference for Shari’ah implementing states ended yesterday in Sokoto with a call for the amendment of the constitution to address the rights of the muslim population, just as it immediately established a National Council on Shari’ah Implementing States.

It also viewed with utmost concern, the need to extend necessary support to the South-western part of Nigeria in their quest for the actualisation of the Shari’ah legal system in the region.

In its 8-point communiqué signed by Dr.Abubakar Nababa Umar, Permanent Secretary in the state Religious Affairs ministry at the end of the 3- day conference held at the Shukurah-Coral Hotel, Sokoto, it also urged Muslims to unite for a common goal, particularly on Shari’ah implementation in order to achieve the desired peace and unity in the country.

Similarly, the Sharia implementing states in the communiqué made it mandatory for Muslims to actualise the economic foundation of Sharia in addition to criminal issues. They were also called upon to take advantage of the Internet and ICT facilities to ensure the management of information and facilitation of the course of Shari,ah

The open air conference venue which witnessed attendance from 12 official Sharia implementing states of Bauchi, Borno, Niger, Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi , Zamfara, Jigawa, Katsina, Kano, Gombe and Yobe also attracted representatives from Oyo and Lagos states including numerous others yet to officially implement the Sharia system.

However, the conference urged Nigerians to avoid political thuggery and money politics in order to achieve a smooth political dispensation in the country.

My friend make your point and move over.  We heard you the first time, though Igbo say that ihere na ahapu onye ara gba oto n'eme nwanne ya!

The same Buhari that plotted with other northerners to topple the government that was going to make Alex Ekwueme the NPN presidential candidate in 1987?
The same Buhari that threw Ekwueme (a practical saint) into Kirikiri, while putting Shagari under house arrest where he had the room to do anything including drinking tea?
The same Buhari that turned a blind eye when an Emir was smuggling 53 suit cases of cash during his so called war against indiscipline?
The same Buhari who used his position in PTF to build good roads in the north, but none in the East.
The same Buhari who ignored Ndigbo to pick his running mate from the West?

My friend if you are not efulefu, then, the word has no meaning in Igbo lexicon.

. . . My name is Chyz, and I approve this message.

timbuk two:
i'm not a northerner

Sure.

timbuk two:
have you ever wondered whether or not it is them playing gej.  the north literally play this game for a living.

The only game that you northerners have played is the game of coups. Other than that, you never been elected into office for anything.and don't count yaradua, we all know it was rigged. One man can't get 70% of votes in a country like nigeria, at least not him . Also, my people registered to vote en-masse in the north, so na wa for you and your useless insinuations.

Ileke-IdI:
While Yorubas are busy getting educated, you're sitting in your abule Igboland learning jagbajantis English to later prove to NL viewers why Igbos move to Yorubaland primarily because of our fabulous (if I must say) academic facilities.

Igbos move everywhere so your point?

ekt_bear, you are crazy to think Ibadan is anywhere close to being 80+% yoruba.

There are no figures of the number of [size=13pt]Igbos and other ethnic nationalities, who live in Lagos[/size] but [size=13pt]various word of mouth accounts put it between 40 to 60 per cent of the actual population of Lagos.[/size] With such belief tottering in the minds of the Igbos and others, it is obvious that Lagos is a breeding ground for ethnic battles in the coming election. Recently, some Igbo groups threatened to give their protest votes to another party other than the Action Congress of Nigeria if the governor did not promise to give them more appointments based on their population.

seanet02:
And where did he mentioned more posts for ibos and hausas in the report? He only talked about giving positions to the best hands and the definitely abounds in the YORUBA race.

Still trying to figure out where i said anything about Igbos or Hausas. Your making your fears and insecurity apparent.

Interesting. Good development. The face of Lagos is really restructuring. After fashola's 2nd tenure is almost to an end, i see the governorship campaign really looking different or diverse.

fstranger3:
The next time I hear you mention Yorubas, I will send this two guys to you. You've been warned

When are you going to kill off the Yoruba part of her , so you could have a full Fulani babe. You must really be holding your nose right now when she shows that Yoruba part of her you hate so much.

Tribalistic mumbo jumbo. Ode buruku. Hisssssseeess !!!

Nope, I don't hate yorubas, and i don't dislike yorubas either. What I don't like is Igbo bashing. I will always fend for my people.

I wonder if rascal has now replaced coward. jk

jason123:
Yes, they are tribalist and rightly so. When they invited the Fulanis as their friends, they got betrayed, their lands were taken and a civil war erupted that lasted for DECADES. Now, with the intervention of the British and the invention of Nigeria when "foreigner" troop to their lands, they have every right to be skeptical. Its not their fault, they know history always tends to repeat itself as some will start imagining it happening in Lagos as we speak.

About the highlighted,
You are joking right?? You have to remove Kano from the north as well then. Go to Oyo, you will see indigenous hausas there. Go anywhere in the SW, you will see that other ethnic groups populated it. Everyone in the country knows that the SW including LAGOS ( a yoruba state) has the highest number of non indigenes. Even if you remove lagos (as most of you are now fond of doing on the internet), it is still has the highest number of non-indigenes, so what gives?

The North has one of the highest but not the highest, in my opinion. The east has the least and why Food for thought.

Always have them excuses just sitting around for the yorubas,lol. @ the bolded, competition is too high for them. It's roll or get rolled over in the SE.

jason123:
You are right, it is because of GOD and igbos are nationalistic. But saying yorubas are tribalist is a bit rich, don't you think?? The have the highest number of people from other regions in the country. They allow people in their region and treat them like one. They allow a conducive environment for their fellow country men. How many times have you heard yorubas killing another person just because of their difference (whether religious or ethnic) ( Forget Alausa because you cannot push people to the wall and expect them not to react). Even you, have a kwara babe. Forget the internet, interact with these people, you will see that they are not tribalist. They are the least tribal people in Nigeria.
. . . . . . . about the "it has got them nowhere" statement, let us not degenerate this thread to a bashing/ tribalistic one. Thank you.

You yourself have even admitted several times that yorubas are tribalistic. It has gotten them nowhere. Allowing others into your environment soes not mean you are not tribalistic. My kwara babe is mixed with fulani. She takes after their(fulani) characteristics,to an extent as well, so she doesn't count. The SW does not have the highest number of people from other regions, exclude lagos, then what? The North definitely has the highest.

jason123:
Well said!


Onlytruth, what people for goodness sake?? Are your "people" not going to suffer in the SW or North when there is poverty, unemployment and lack of education?? Are my people not suffering with the whole ND?? Are the Northerners not suffering

Do you know that the richest people per capital are the igbos compared to other ethnic groups. So what "people" are you talking about

Our leaders have rap.ed this country severely and you are still talking about "my people"? The reality is different from what you read on NL. Most people do not care anymore about where the next president comes from. All they want is a better Nigeria.

We are he riches per capital because of God and hardwork, not FG. Igbos have been nationalistic, unlike other tribes so don't blame us for your woes. The SW has been tribalistic, and that has gotten them nowhere.Sorry.

jason123:
I am glad you posted that video. He said," we have to find out what happened to the money between 1999 till now" and he is right. If he prosecutes OBJ, no one or soul will care because everyone including the SW suffered together with the country. Even the igbos in Lagos suffered a bit when he restricted money to the state.

Chyz, can you imagine that 2011, we still do not have constant electricity in Nigeria?? It is a shame on everyone.

If we vote for another man because of sentiments or perceived benefits, then we deserve the leader we get, don't we??


What do you mean by woo?? No one cares about wooing in Nigeria. The reality on ground is that everyone is suffering EQUALLY. When GEJ came to "woo" the SW with the sophistication statement, they did not care because he was or started romancing with the people that kept this country backwards. Agreed, unfortunately,his statement was politicized.
We do not need any "wooing". Wooing does not bring constant electricity. It does not bring clean water to the ND. It does provide free education or basic education to kids. All it does is to increase the bragging rights and promote tribalism in Nigeria.

In fact, I should not be telling you to vote for Buhari. What I should say is VOTE FOR WHOEVER YOU THINK IS THE BEST FOR NAIJA!

It's quite clear that he doesn't intend to prosecute the elites. This is why the audience and the host chuckled at him. My man is GEJ, its all about interest man. That "Obama" hasn't come to nigeria yet but at least with GEJ, we can finally have a non-military and recurring president in office.

jason123:
Why are you all talking about interest??
We should be looking for someone that will tackle corruption and not promote it. A good corrupt-free country will be the BEST [/b]option for any ethnic group in Nigeria. What is the point of GEJ or whoever, protecting your "interest" when the next administration will not?? Your so called interest is just protect for as long as he is in power. The moment the person leaves, you are back to square one.

Vote for a corrupt free Nigerian that will protect Nigeria's interest. Vote for Buhari!!!

Tackle corruption right? Let me play for you a video where Buhari makes it clear that he is not going to prosecute those corrupt officials.See how the audience response([b]start at 31:31):

JUST CURIOUS , GEJ AND BUHARI WHO DO YOU THINK WILL FAVOR NDI IGBO ?


I REMEMBER THAT IN OBASANJO'S ADMINISTRATION. A WELL KNOWN, IGBO BUSINESS MAN , WHO IS KNOWN AS
**IBETO *** OF THE POPULAR IBETO CEMENT, WHICH COMPETED SERIOUSLY WITH DANGOTE, WAS FORCED TO STOP PRODUCTION ON SOME BASELESS ALLEGATIONS.

THE SHIP CARRYING HIS PRODUCTION CONSIGNMENTS WERE ON THE SEA FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND HE WAS PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DAILY, TILL HE HAD TO SELL THE CONSIGNMENTS ON AUCTION. SIMPLY BECAUSE NIGERIAN GOVT WOULD NOT LET THEM INTO THE COUNTRY.

THIS ENABLED DANGOTEH TO MONOPOLIZE THE CEMENT INDUSTRY. *IBETO* STOPPED PRODUCTION OF CEMENT FOR YEARS. UNTIL **YARADUA** GOT INTO POWER, THE BAN WAS LIFTED AND NOW HE IS PRODUCING AGAIN .



THE ISSUE OF DREDGING THE **RIVER NIGER** TO ALLOW GOODS TO BE SHIPPED DOWN DIRECTLY TO THE EAST , SINCE THE IGBO'S WERE MOSTLY INTO IMPORTATION , WAS DELAYED AND SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET DURING THE OBASANJO ADMINISTRATION. IT WAS ONLY DURING THE **YARADUA'S ** ADMINISTRATION, THAT THIS PROJECT WAS CARRIED OUT.

TO ME, IT SEEMS LIKE THE HAUSA'S HAVE MORE INTEREST IN THE WELFARE OF (NDI-IGBO ) THAN ANY OTHER TRIBE IN NIGERIA.

DON,T FORGET THAT GEJ, IS STILL OBASANJO. THAT'S WHY I DON'T HAVE PROBLEM VOTING BB.

WHATS YOUR OPINION.?

Tinubu should tread softly when entering Abia. I'm sure he remembers how Abiola was stoned when he came to the state and ridiculed in other Igbo states. He should learn to watch his tongue.

[size=15pt]Orji Cautions Tinubu over Remarks[/size]

By Olawale Olaleye

20 Mar 2011


Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji, has described as rascally, the statement attributed to former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, that Abia state lacks visible development.

Orji, in a statement by his media assistant, Mr. Ben Onyechere , said Tinubu’s utterances are a confirmation of his rascally disposition as noted by President Goodluck Jonathan during a South-west rally of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ibadan, Oyo State.

“If he could make such a careless statement after a few hours’ visit to Abia State, then he is rascally. Tinubu’s mission and statement in Abia is a reminder of Awolowo’s visit during a campaign rally where Awo said he would ban second-hand clothes for which Aba was known, therefore, it is not expected that a Tinubu would fare better.

“His travails in Abia depict the life of a fish out of water because he has no business coming to Abia since the people have decided to join the centre in order to get their fair share of the ‘national cake.’

It would have been surprising if he said Aba was well developed because he is known to be a confusionist, particularly in an electioneering campaign where no opponent sees anything good in the other, let alone a regionally based party as ACN,” he said.

The governor said: “If Tinubu could be fighting Fashola for non-performance, what more could we have expected of him in a PDP-controlled state where he knows that their candidate in the state is a non-starter without the requisite structures and experience to become governor of a state like Abia other than his grievance over unpaid allowances as a former commissioner under the incumbent governor. Tinubu has only succeeded in making himself a laughing stock because there is no trace of Igbo stake in ACN,” he added

alj harem:
sharrap dai you bloody lier

Show me where I'm lying. Provide the proof for all to see.

Aigbofa:
Forget about the voting patern, it's all transient. ( even if you don't know what it means) In a country like Nigeria, it takes a lot of heart for a man to give his child a name from another tribe. If that is not being pro, I don't know what being anti is.

For example, I won't name my child EzeUche, that should tell you something.

No lets not forget about voting patterns. Where is your proof for that claim?! And like I said before, there are Edos that name their children igbo names as well. I will never name my child a yoruba name either so your claim still isn't holding any water.

EzeUche_:


Soon they will be claiming Anioma, then we will be trouble.

Please!!!! Let them try. That is a pipe dream like their damn oduduwa story.

Aigbofa:
What will be your own definition of being pro Yoruba? I won't even cite the fact that they vote along the same line, because in politics, there are no parmanent friends or foes. But, when you give your child a certain name, you know that name will be part of his or her identity for life.
What will be your definition of being pro Yoruba?

No pls cite where they vote along the same lines(whatever the hell that means). Provide the link. I can't believe how you people now are trying to claim so many people,even to the extent you all are trying to claim the Urhobos now,lol. Hypocrites!

jason123:
@ Chyz,

Guy, what can I say?!
You call ACN a yoruba party and some of your brothers were saying Edos have always been pro-yoruba anyway (DEDE). Now, yall are back tracking . Na wa oo.
Edos usually vote in the same pattern as the SW (check your history books) except during the creation of the MW because yorubas dominated everything and the Bini empire was NEVER  a conquered empire, so why be an underdog to the yorubas. Hence the creation of the MW spear-headed by the Binis.

Show me the link where DEDE1 said the Edos were  Pro- yoruba. I'd like to see that. Also, I didn't know that you regard DEDE1 so high that his words now are all truthful and solid without a shadow of a doubt now. From now on you should cease to argue with him.

The Edos NEVER vote in the same pattern as the SW! Where the hell have you gotten this unbelievably false claim from?!. As far as your MW claim, yorubas didn't "dominate everything" as you are claiming. They simply suppressed the other ethnic groups and also used them for their resources. This was so because the heads of the Western Region were yorubas. It's called Discrimination.

Aigbofa:
You made an assertion that they have never been pro Yoruba, why then would they give their children Yoruba names? Yorubas are not the only tribe in Nigeria, are they?

Do you know what Pro- Yoruba means? Edos give their children other tribe names as well. In fact, it is more like yorubas have their names then the other way around. The Edos are Pro-Edo and nothing else.

Aigbofa:
Inveterate liar. Edos and Yorubas get along fine. A lot of them even have Yoruba names.

Pro-Yoruba? Since when? Why would they be Pro- something they are not,genius? ALot of Igbos like me, have edo names and edos also use our names as well so what is your point? Are they now Pro-Igbo. Use ur head.

Alj Uche:
but yet the itsekiri and edo are still pro yoruba

The Edo people have never been pro-yoruba and never will be. Where did you get your assumption from?

Beaf:
Similarities, yes. But why did the Itsekiri join the Midwest rather than hang out with you guy's? Keep this nonsense out of Delta state jare! If you wish to share cultural similarities and ties, all well and good, but you cannot expand into Delta state. Any hints of bigotry must be left at the gates, we're too advanced for that.

Exactly, It is clear that they are not yoruba and don't want to be classified as such. They may be related but, they are not yoruba. These claim are coming from people who are not even from delta state and have never been there.
