Sheikh Gumi is no body in the north to direct the northerners in supporting ATIKULOOTED to became NIG President in 2019.

God Bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

PMB all the way to 2023.

That's not possible...


They can't do that to a grassroot politician like Ayodele Fayose.

Had this same act happened in some other part of the country, the entire narrative on this thread would've been completely different.

God Bless You My Brother.

Our Enemies are one and the same. Supposed it happened here in the north the story would have been PMB And Islam.

God Bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

WomanOfRace:
Heart wrecking we Christians abandoned this girl, we couldn't do much for her in reality; Muslims would have burnt down Nigeria if she was one of them and was held captive by Christian fanatics.


I know no religion as a Christian but l worship God.

We don't defend our own in this country.

May God free this girl please.

Just like we burnt down Nigeria when two Igbos were paid to kill two prominent northern leaders. Sardauna and Tafawa balewa..

GOD BLESS NIGERIA AND NIGERIANS!

PMB IS INDEED A BLESSING TO NIGERIA AND NIGERIANS.



THEY CAN ONLY WAIL IN HIS ABSENCE. I SEE HYPOCRISY OF HIGHEST ORDER IN NIGERIA.

GOD BLESS PMB

Are You sure MURIC has not been enrolled among the media advisers of the Presidency?

Are these people not meant to be a neutral body?

Just like CAN was neutral during GEJ?

I see bigotry at its peak in YOU.

God Bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

Handsomebeing:
God punish any supporter of this Govt. hell is your place. People dying everyday and this stupid President is there giving excuses about whereabout of his I.G.

That's the main reason for the conspiracy. They want people to hate the government. But it's a very big lie.


Despite all these conspiracies PMB will still win the election In Shaa Allah.


God Bless PMB
God Bless Tinubu
God Bless APC

God Bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

Psychology is the study of human mind and his behavior.

Obudupikin:
Seems it's only in Taraba that these Fulani herdsmen get the "an eye for an eye" treatment.

Don't forget that Taraba is a State of the Fulani/Hausa. The locals are minority.

2 Senators Hausa/Fulani, 12 state assembly seats belongs to Hausa/Fulani.

Please preach peace.

MrHistorian:
The three posters above me are self acclaimed to be of the feminine gender.Unfortunately, none could atleast render an intellectual submission concerning the thread. . .SMH.

To the topic. . .

Are these people mad? When did SouthWest turn to their Islamic enclave where they blackmail and give ultimatums? Well,the Nigeria constitution does NOT in any of its section stipulate religious affiliation as a prerequisite for Public office.

Join a political party,draw your manifesto and test your popularity during election.

Anything short of this is DEAD BEFORE ARRIVAL.

You have forgotten about what happened in Lagos State where Christian minority Threatened Tinubu and co to as a matter of urgency give the governorship seat to the Christian.

Hypocrisy of the highest grade. To demand for this in Lagos and not in Ekiti state.

It's expected that you show compassion for the accident victims and forget about their personality.

Biking is a hobby to alot of people. Old, young, Rich, Poor etc.

Yusuf Buhari: Time for Compassion

There is a time for everything. There is a time for politics, and there is a time to subordinate partisanship and let our humanity shine through. Yusuf Buhari’s heartrending motorbike accident a few days ago is no moment to gloat and taunt his dad.

I read a couple of people on my timeline reveling in the tragedy of Yusuf’s motorbike accident. That’s cruel beyond measure. I’ve unfriended all such unfeeling wretches. I want to have no truck with anyone who derives delight from people’s personal catastrophes. If you’re such a scoundrel and I haven’t noticed you, please do me a favor and unfriend me.

Before he is the president’s son with privileges that the rest of us don’t have, he is a human being. He is someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s friend. Accidents can happen to anyone, including you and me. For that alone, he deserves our compassion.

I know our compassion or ill will will do absolutely nothing to exacerbate or assuage his condition, but a show of empathy for another human being’s tragedy hurts no one.

May God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

Can you mention this before Gen T Y Danjuma?

I'm not saying that he's taking part cause I know he's fine financially.

Before, nko. The 5% must suffer. When you have religious fanatics masquerading as leaders, what do you expect. They will be smiling they have dealt with their enemies, but God will embarrass them at the appropriate time. This change is a curse to the nation of huts

What about the hardships experienced in the past. Precisely during GEJs regime.

Politics is not madness.

RRWraith:
A larger percentage of these idiots on these queue will still line up in like manner to vote either Atiku or Buhari....I dont pity them at all

You don't have to Pity us. Because we are educated on the reasons for the long queues. The MARKETERS & PDP conspired to punish the Christians on their Christmas celebrations. Last year's Christmas was hitch free. They were Pained that's why they conspired to make money from the scarcity and score cheap political goals. All ardent supporters of APC and PMB new plan. It's dead on arrival.

We voted PMB in 2015 we'll still do that in 2017 In Shaa Allah.

The Trigger of Firdaus

She has pulled the trigger of change. Once again, another colonial heritage is hit and it is just a matter of time before it will collapse, if not instantly.

The world is made of two kinds of people: one, the radicals who bring about change, as in chemical reactions, and two, the followers. While humanity spends almost all of its time following, it is gifted from time to time with activists who activate the process of transformation by introducing new ideas that challenge the status quo. The action of Firdaus squarely places her here.

In the eyes of the conformist, any protest against any inherited tradition appears brazen because the attendant reproach by its custodians is predictable. Some can even blackmail it as cheap publicity or other names that alludes to their intolerance to the new idea. Call it whatever, the truth is that universally, civil rights are hardly granted on a platter of gold. They are fought for one way or another and jealously guarded as a result. Where they are declared cheaply, like in our constitution, their breach is greeted with a manifest docility.

Rationality

The protest of Firdaus cannot be dismissed in the laidback fashion some traditionalists want us to believe. It does not make sense to abort her right to practice as a lawyer simply because she wore a headscarf on an occasion in a country that preaches freedom of religion.

Some questions are pertinent here. What significant meaning does such intolerance to our diversity makes to cause such denial? Would someone sustain any injury as a result of her headscarf? Has Muslim-majority Nigeria become far-right Kurz’s Austria or still answerable to the British crown? What merit does a woman’s open hair add to her knowledge and practice as a lawyer?

To Firdaus, however, covering her hair – a part of her beauty as a woman – is a religious obligation which the constitution has pledged to guarantee. It is a clear injunction for Muslim women in the Quran (24:31). It is not extremism at all, unlike covering the face, which is subject to interpretation, or wearing a beard or a turban which are optional.

Even as Africans, who would like to see his mother walking with bare hair in public? To the African lady, the hair is part of her privacy and covering it in our culture is a sign of decency. A woman displays it only in attempt to attract a suitor or in appeal for appreciation by men around her. Without these two reasons, she does not feel comfortable displaying it to people, especially in the presence of those she respects most. In fact, if the woman’s hair is nothing, why are some people protesting against the headscarf? Must men see it?

So from the point of view of Islam and African tradition, the headscarf is normal. However, to colonial tradition and its upholders, it is taboo on the bar. Now, for how long must we remain slaves to a colonial relic that is at variance with our tradition and does not respect our diversity?

As an advocate of secular Nigeria, I believe we should respect the decision of others once they do not deny our right to personal liberty or violate the sanctity of our lives, property and dignity. If any regulation will choose to deny anyone this right, then it - not Firdaus and her likes - is in breach of the constitution and that law must be amended accordingly.

Suggestions

The Bar is a station of reason. A headscarf will not in any way hinder Firdaus from performing creditably as a lawyer or a magistrate. No court of law in the modern world will shred itself of logic and side with the Nigerian bar against Firdaus on the issue of headscarf. Similar cases have been treated elsewhere as cited by some contributors to the present debate. I feel the authorities must not wait for similar verdicts before contemplating some amendments now. Here, there are three scenarios.

One, the authorities may revolutionarily think of abolishing the colonial dressing code altogether. Many distinguished jurists have spoken before of its incompatibility with our climate and suffocating court conditions. Instead of the black suit, gown, wig, etc, it can just go for a decent dress of a lawyer’s choice as our universities are doing today. Lawyers are people of knowledge and dignity. It is very doubtful if anyone would be irresponsible to wear a disgraceful dress on the bench. Discarding the code will not only give members the liberty they need, it will also respect our diversity and avoid incidents like the one in question.

Two, the authorities can maintain the colonial code but adopt the liberal interpretation of its use that will accommodate climatic and cultural preferences. Depending on individual’s choice, the wig can be alone or cushioned by a headscarf; the skirt can be long enough to reach the ankles as do trousers for men; the whole dress could be wide enough to allow – if desired by the individual – air circulation and conceal body lines. I wonder why we men are interested in stripping the woman while we cover ourselves fully. In this, even the Bar is failing to accord her more than the dignity of an object. And some women are comfortable with that dehumanization.

Three, the authorities can notoriously stick to the colonial code despite its unsuitability for our climate, culture and conditions of our courts. This option, I must say, will not last long after Firdaus. In few years to come, there will be many Firdauses who will individually or collectively challenge the embarrassing irrationality of the code through similar protests. It will only be a matter of time before the present code gives way to something more logical, as is always the fate of laws that negate human liberty.

The United Kingdom itself has discarded the wig in civil and family law matters, though it still remains for criminal cases. May be when it is fully dispensed with in the UK, our traditionalists in Nigeria will jump to discard too. (http://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSL1287872820070713)

Example

When we were students, the conditions of our universities in the North were radically different from how they are today except, perhaps for Bayero University and University of Sokoto. This was Ahmadu Bello University in 1978: Alcohol was sold everywhere including in every student common room, staff clubs and canteens. Students had unfettered access to girls’ hostels from 10am to 10pm. In some hostels, like Barau Dikko, there was no separate hostel for girls. Right from day one, at the two weeks orientation program, new students were encouraged to adopt lifestyles of social and academic freedom – and you know what that means. Student clubs had unfettered access to common rooms and dining halls to host events that could include the use of these common facilities for drinking alcohol.

The Muslim Students’ Society (MSS), A. B. U. branch, wrote, to no avail, to the authorities a number of protest letters against the misuse of dining space and kitchenware by palmwine drinkers club – Kegites. Tired of the deaf ear, some MSS members one night violently disrupted the 1979 “gyration” night at the dining hall of Ribadu Hall. The university authorities responded by dismissing the entire MSS Exco. Mass protests by MSS members ensued and the school continued to dismiss attackers on beer parlours on Samaru and Kongo campuses.

Some students then, including many Muslim students, condemned the protests against sale of alcohol on campus, saying that many Muslims too drink alcohol, that religion is a personal affair and such other excuses that are repeated against Firdaus today. Some asked of what benefit it was to stop beer sale on campus when it is sold in parlours across the road in Samaru. Etc.

But it was too late. MSS has fired the gun of change at the heart of licentious living on campus. Though many members suffered dismissal, the authorities finally succumbed to reason and all campuses of the university were cleansed of alcohol by the time we were graduating in 1982. Professor Ango Abdullahi, who signed those dismissal letters, also banned us from “visiting” our girl friends in their hostels. Guys could only wait outside the hostel and send.

Nigeria is a secular state I really don't understand the brouhaha about this hijab..since u insist on wearing it well thumbs up I sincerely hope you'd be able to change the status quo

Just the way USA is a secular state. NBA President's daughter was called to bar with her Hijaab not even the type used by Amasa.

The white colonised us with their tradition and culture which is purely christianic in nature and people want us to continue domesticating those ideas Hook Line and Sinker.

Amasa's action is a Sacrifice for those coming behind.

The cross in our hospitals, the gowns in the schools are all Christians symbols. Yet Muslims Obey them hook line and sinker.

We'll soon start demanding for public holiday on Friday.

Anyways, happy birthday your excellency BUT:

Whats the use of a birthday when:

4million citizens approx have lost their jobs and counting.

When the standard of living and cost of living are at extreme ends of both sides..

Think Nigerians... Think
Imagine your father celebrating his birthday when he is yet to pay your fees..

Four millions jobs lost because they were founded on lies and deception.

All sincere businesses are in fact waxing stronger day by day declaring much profit.


check well all the businesses that collapsed are having links with PDP.

Congratulations Boy.


The Sky is your starting point.
