isimili:FYI, if Yerima were a christian and was at the Vatican, the reknown nation and head quarter of christianity, he would most probably have had the blessing of the Pope for his actions; considering the fact that the age of sexual consent is only 12 at the Vatican(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Europe ). Accordingly, Yerima's alleged bride at 13 is even over aged for the Vatican. As for child abuse, need I have to say catholic priests and the Pope (for covering up for them)? |
Considering the venom in majority of the posts against this man Yarima, and also the multiciplity of the threads started against him, on the same subject of his alleged marriage to a 13 year old. It is therefore not difficult to imagine that the country would soon not be a welcomed place for him to live. So if I were him, I would take my young bride and settle in Spain where the age of sexual consent is still 13 i.e the same as that of the alleged bride; or better still seek asylum at the Vatican where it is just only 12 years. Afterall, child sex abuse is common among catholic priests and the Pope is reknown for covering up for them - just as I would imagine he would cover up for Yarima, should he (Yarima) take my advice and seek asylum at the Vatican. ![]() |
frosbel:Yes, video may be recent but the story is old and stale, and you, sir, are recycling it; the content of which had been assembled together from different shots and unrelated scenes for maximum effect. Your agenda is not hidden but an open secret. Anyone who cares to follow your posts will not find it difficult to note that you only upload negative information about islam, sharia, muslims or anything to that effect; and hardly ever against any other subject. Reveal news that portray latest happenings, my foot! You have no news but anti- islamic news intent on spreading hate and suspiscion, easily attracting small minded haters like wilywily et al who take casual liberty in pouring scorn and insults on a religion held most precious and sacred by many - with guys like you, no wonder Jos is simmering with hate and violence. You therefore come accross as anti islam, someone obsessed and hell bent on a personal crusade against the religion and those that believe in it. Your technique is very simple (googgle, copy and paste) and can easily be repeated in a retaliatory manner; but doing so would be like stooping down to your level, which I hope no muslim brother or sister would want to do. However, I do hope that eventually NLDers would come to see you for what you really are: an islamaphobe bigot dressed in diguise. ![]() |
Different shots and unrelated scenes all patched up together into a tidy propaganda package for the young and impressionable. Trust the poster ( a cut & paste junkie), always sifting through the internet for the most negative of information to upload against muslims, in this case recycling of the old/stale Abdulmutallab news, obviously intended to keep the flame of hate burning against his favourite targets (muslims). Continue as you wish as your wicked agenda becomes gradually self exposed ![]() |
Arkison:Couldnn't have summarised it any better. ![]() |
Good development.!!! Lets hope this will start the process of justice for ALL the victims(xtians & muslims) and expose the wicked hands of those behind the scene stoking the fire of hate between the warring communities. |
Absolute rubbish and baseless scare mongering, frosbel at his best with his usual propensity for cutting & pasting from the internet - in his case, always uploading anything negative agaisnt sharia in particular or islam in general, it doesnt matter how remote or how ridiculous. @ poster: If islamic banking is that much of a threat, wouldnt you wonder why Uk and American governments are encouraging it? Wouldnt you also wonder why such governments with all the intelligence resources available to them (CIA, FBI,MI5 & MI6 ) fail to see anything wrong with it, except for you and your ilk (bigots). So you think you pass CIA, abi? What foolishness, Msscceeww! |
frosbel:Simply put, it is here to stay and there is nothing you can do about it - like or not, who cares ![]() |
quote author=mikeansy link=topic=428728.msg5873262#msg5873262 date=1271024433] The constitution only recognises the use of Sharia law to resolve customary disputes like marriage, divorces, inheritance. But most importantly it says all parties to the disputes must consent to the law being used to resolve the matter. It is illegal to use Sharia to resolve issues like theft, fraud and the current sharia criminal code launched in 12 Northern States is illegal. Besides that you have hisbah going around Kano telling them they must sell Alcohol only in Baracks and Military quaters, that people can only dress in certain way on the streets. That is simply enforcing a certain way of life in these states and we all know that hisbah is sponsored by the Kano State Government. That is simply State practice of religion when a state government has a religious police enforcing a certain way of life. What part of what I said above did you not understand? Yes, the constitution made specific pronouncements on the customary aspect of sharia law - no doubt about that. You may also wish note that sharia courts presiding over such cases, mentioned by you, have been in existence long before the present constitution - I suspect even before independence, because I can recall my grandfather being one of such judges in Kaduna in the 1960's - its nothing new or limiting. The above provision does not in anyway limit or prohibit any state in the federation (as you are wrongly assuming) from further making additional laws concerning sharia or otherwise as it deems fit; providing that such law does not contradict the constitution, and when/if it does, the constitution supercedes. I repeat there is nothing illegal about the introduction of sharia by some states (otherwise the whole thing would have been legally stopped by now through court action), though you are free as a citizen or through any organisation such as CAN to try it - feel free. As for hisbah (sharia police) yes it is true, and in this case, the federal government is rightly challenging it in court even though the matter is yet to be resolved; therefore the hisbah are still operating albeit under very low profile. On the the issue of sale and consumption of alcohol, again you will have to appreciate the entitlement of any state to pass its own laws. In the case of Kano, it chose to ban alcohol (mind you, it didnt do it under sharia law but through state edict - there is a difference), not surprising that it had been finding it difficult to implement completely - much to the chagrin and delight of those for and against the ban respectively. Bottom line, states in Nigeria like those in America have a right to make laws and these can vary from one state to another. For example, not so long ago (in the 30's) there was a ban on alcohol in nearly all America untill it was repealed some years later. Similarly, some states have different penalties for drug and alcohol related offences, right up to death penalty. In Nigeria some states have adopted sharia while some have not; nobody is imposing it on your head so I dont understand your beef. Sharia is only for muslims or are you suggesting that muslims in Nigeria shouldn't have a right to be judged according to their belief - simply because you dont like it? |
@ poster, what have you got against sharia? For example what are your views on the issues raised in the above article? How will or has sharia been imposed or impacted on you? You seem to have a penchant for negativity against the law and its religion. Obviously, any body with a mind can cut and paste. I doubt it would be that difficult to google, find and paste neagative news about christians or christianity and upload it in this forum as way of retaliating against you and your ilk, but unfortunately I would also be hurting and provoking innocent persons that are unlucky to share the same faith with you - a simple consideration you obviously dont have. ![]() |
mikeansy:And so General Domkat Bali constitute an Alhpa/omega opinion on the issue ![]() FYI sharia where ever introduced in Nigeria has and shall always apply to muslims only and to suggest that it would be imposed on the beroms or other non believers is not only inacurate but mischievious. Yes, you are ignorant on the matter. First of all, no state has adopted any religion, Islam, christianity or otherwise, as its official relgion - not even the sharia states that you mentioned, because it would have been unconstitutional given that Nigeria is secular. However, adotion of sharia and its implementation on muslims by any of the states that wish to do so is quite legal, legitimate and constitutional The constitution permits every state to enact local laws for use within the that state as it deems fit( including sharia) as long as such law does not conflict with the constitution. In the case of sharia , it is deemed part and parcel of the Islamic religion for muslims. I am sure you will not argue at this jucnture that the constitution (see bill of rights) guarantees every citizen the right and freedom to practice his/her religion - muslims included. Therefore, the federal government has nothing to challenge as far as sharia is concerned, only ignorant and misinformed people like yourself think otherwise - though you are free to dislike it. By the way, this is not a blind endorsement by me that sharia is a perfect law free of shortcomings or that it will not be subject to abuse and misapplication in the wrong hands. |
mikeansy:An obvious ignorant statement, kindly inform us as to how sharia law or your perceived expansion of its jurisdiction has anything to do with the killings in jos? Please feel free to explain how. ![]() |
Middle belt vs middle belt, uninformed NLDers please take note, no hausa - fulani in this one. My sympathy to the poor woman though. ![]() |
Mrs Okonjo-Iweala praised the reforms in the banking sector. She said:"While the emergence of distressed banks accounting for some 30 percent of banking system assets is regrettable, the manner in which this situation is addressed represents a huge signaling opportunity. The transparency and evenhandedness with which these banks are intervened and resolved will have a major impact on Nigeria’s reputation as a potential regional financial centre. This reputation took a bit of beating as a result of the way the interbank foreign exchange market was treated early last year. But there is now the opportunity to remedy this". She noted that the banks became distressed because of connected lending, exposure to the oil and gas sector and margin lending for buying stocks, which led to problems when the stock market crashed. While CBN took decisive steps to avoid a systemic crisis, a big unfinished agenda remains. According to her, CBN recognises the need for stronger supervision. For supervision to work, Nigeria will have to overhaul and modernise its infrastructure for accounting, financial reporting, collateral registration and credit rating and "any bank bailout raises the spectre of moral hazard. Nigeria must take steps to avoid situations where good fiscal policy resulting in growing ECA assets is undone by bad loans on the balance sheets of banks, as we have already seen to some extent. While citing bad conditions in order countries, she said: "I am pleased to note that several steps have already been taken to limit moral hazard, including dismissal of the CEOs of the banks receiving liquidity support; publication of lists of all major non-performing borrowers; and pursuit of responsible bank managers and borrowers by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)". If the above is not an endorsement of Sanusi's reform action, perhaps somebody should tell us what is. Typewriter:Oh really? Is that her job? What about you arm chair critic what have you done so far in your own capacity? For crying out loud, the woman is an economist; where has she therefore erred by giving advice on the economy ![]() |
Exerpts of the interview from the link provided in this thread did NOT show that the Ikemba endorsed IBB. Rather, it clearly showed the Ikemba stating the obvious i.e. IBB like any other nigerian citizen has a right to contest in so far as the constitution allows it and people are ready to vote for him, period. I am no IBB supporter, however, I believe people have rights and that we should respect them. As for the newspaper it also has a right to endorse whoever it wants. Besides, I wouldnt think Awo would have any issues with IBB as they were not contemporaries. @ poster, if you dont like IBB, dont vote for him or if you dont like the newspaper, boycut it as you had indicated - or better still, buy your own so that you can reshape political mindsets according to your own agenda. |
Story could basically be true, but to me it seems one sided - could we please have the fulani version of events for more objectivity. |

Speaking about child sex abuse through religion, particularly against Islam by christians on this forum as if it is only exclusive within muslims; may I remind them about the recent revealation of widespread child sex abuse by the catholic church in Northern Ireland and America, which many catholic priests were involved, for which the pope had to make public apology for their evil acts and for the pope himself was not exenorated from blame for his role in the cover up. The victims were majority young boys but also girls - its covered all over the international media, cnn, bbc, sky news, just name it- its all there for any doubter. |
[quote author=bk/babe97 link=topic=427893.msg5861581#msg5861581 date=1270830874]hahahahah IBO MAN AT IT AGAIN!!! DAMN!!![/quote]Dont sound like an ibo name to me. Besides, whether ibo or not ibo the Ghanains wont give a damn but the country he came from; in this case its the name and image of Nigeria that he also has clearly further helped to dent. |
bibiking1:Like you just read my mind. Many of them cant handle the truth. that a christian and a southerner can commit such act. |
Niger Deltans! Niger Deltans! Niger Deltans!, how many times did I call wuna ppl name? Abeg see one small example how wuna oil money dey fly comot. Stolen by your own leaders right under your noses. Before anyone talk am again say north dey chop wuna money, make wuna first learn how to make wuna leaders accountable (charity begins at home); after all 13% derivation no be small money ooh. In fact all de abuse we de suffer because na northerner be president don tire me sef. Now that na wuna pickin, Jonathon, de act; de tin de sweet me because we for north go get rest.

In fact any problem at all, even by mistake fly land my mama yansh, na wuna ppl cause am. Make wuna no complain ooh! |
She can marry anybody she wants if she is really determined to so, because nobody can actually stop her. However, in Islam, muslim women are not permitted to marry outside their faith; though muslim men can. Even in the case of muslim men, they are only permitted to marry from the people of the book (i.e. christians, jews ect, who have books of faith e.g. bible and so on), and even moreso they are further restricted to only such women that can be deemed morally chaste - not any kind of woman. Right now, you have three basic options: # be very selfish, damn the consequences, go ahead and marry her against her religion # part ways and find a more suitable girl to marry # make the huge sacrifice of converting to Islam in order to marry her more legitimately The choice is yours, Good luck. |
Jang and all co- conspirators of the past and present violence leading to the loss of innocent lives (both xtian & muslims) should be exposed and brought to book. Enough of this maddness. |
oisehumen:And you think that will end this circle of senseless violence? Wasn't the recent round of killing about revenge and retaliation - as you are equally now proposing. Please get it right, the more recent Jos crisis was and is not about religion but a fight between two ethnic goups, berom against hausa-fulani, about control of land and politics in that area. The beroms consider themselves the rightful indigenes of Jos (Plateau State) that should have exclusive rights to land, citizenship and politics over and above the hausa-fulani, who they deemed as settlers (or foreigners because of their relelatively recent historical arrival to the state) and should therefore not be entitled to any of these rights at all. On the other hand the hausa settlers, with roots of many generations in the area, also consider themselves indigenes with full and equal rights as guaranteed by the constitution. This refusal of the hausas (and fulanis, who as nomads respect no boundaries or territories anyway) to step back behind the beroms and accept the role of 2nd class citizens is at the heart of the ongoing crisis. However deeper and other hidden agenda from within and outside the state along the lines of religion and ethnicity are being used to fuel the violence by their sponsors. Until the perpetrators of these heinous acts and their sponsors are brought to book, the violence will continue at the risk spreading beyond the confines of Jos environs to consume all of us – if care is not taken. Unfortunately, careless and unguarded utterances such as the one above are unhelpful and quite unwarranted. Some people hide behind the safety and obscurity of cyber net to spew so much hate and rubbish capable of inciting even the otherwise passive moderates on both sides into action. So sad. Oba234:One of the very few responses in this post so far. |
okunoba:At last! the words of wisdom ![]() |
@edoyad You are trully an edcated slowpoke! Is Adamawa State not in northern Nigeria? Did the incident not happen in Adamawa State? Then whats so difficult to comprehend ? NOTE: Title of the thread reads, Yoruba WOMAN IS ADAMAWA SENATOR Don't let your hatred and arrogance clowd your judgement. @ paddy That can happen but not with the insults and goading from the ilks of edoyad and co. As a matter of fact the hausa/fulani man would accept anyone in so far as you will not disrespect him and particularly his religion. That is the key to peaceful co existance. By the way, a northern christian , Gen. Yakubu Gowon (from Angas tribe) ruled Nigeria - though not under demoratic setting - and still respected in the north. |
@ edoyad Always deviating from the real issue so that you can continue to spew your venom of hatred. So gov Jang did not attend the last northern govs. meeting (even though he had been attending all along)- oh, big deal. What about the other govs from the so called middle belt, didnt they attend, including your own state gov.- shouldn't that also tell you something? How does that change the reality on the ground, that the middle belt is and is still seen as part of the north - lest if you can physically uproot it from its current location above the Niger - whether you or all its people wish not to identify with it or not; the fact still remains that: A Yoruba woman had been elected as senator in Adamawa state in northern Nigeria and that such a feat or its equivalent has so far not been repeated elsewhere in the country. Period. |
How does your above reasoning/justification for drug dealing reconcile with the earlier position you took in another post i.e. it was due to quick money syndrome? edoyad:How come the motivation of these criminals suddenly changed from desire to make quick money to beings victims of religious riots? Talk about shifting the goal post - if you get what I mean. In any case, should such criminalty along with its attendant consequences upon the community be condoned? Is it ok to poison innocent people with drugs? |
@ edoyad Oh what a load of CRAP from a so called educated man. Are you by any chance suggesting that the senate seat for Adamawa south is at the exclusive preserve of the bachama christians - as if it is a sort of heritage and not an elected office - how silly can you get. You must be high on burkutu (local brew) again, didn't teacher tell you that it is not good for the brain cells? As for the middle belt not being part of north, well try google northern Nigeria and note its composite make up. You may also wish to tell your governors to stop attending meetings/ activities of northern states since they are not part of the north; better still, ask southerners if they regard you or the so called middle belt as not part of the north, or whether they would care to distinguish you (christian or not) from hausa/fulani when taking reprisal attacks against these latter people. By the way, during the June 12 elections of 1993, Kano people voted for a Yoruba man, MKO Abiola( against their own son, Bashir Tofa) as well as the entire northern states, not to a mere senatorial seat but for the presidency of Nigerian i.e. the most coveted seat and currently the excuse for on going agitations. It would do you good to read your history again, Mr. educated man, perhaps it might cure you from the affliction of selective memory - quite commonly associated with ethno religious motivated hatred - that has become evident in you. |
Poverty, illiteracy, and begging are not the issue of this discussion, however, FYI neither is any of them a crime; but dealing in illicit drugs is - surely isn't that the issue at hand - apparently all that schooling cannot even serve you well enough to be able to stick to a simple topic. |
Theface200:Assuming what you said was true, then why is she still in office, why are the people not kicking for her removal - if they didnt love her; they certainly dont hate her either. However, the question that begs to be answered:is where has the equivalent or anything close to the above ever happened in Yoruba, ibo land or anywhere else in Nigeria; other than the present example, in the north. As for the Obasanjo factor; another question: who put him there? olanajim:Unfortunately, left to some people nothing good can ever come from the north? Tis a pity that its true. |
