HealthRe: Uber Driver That Carried The Italian Coronavirus Patient In Nigeria Speaks by ODB2: 9:43am On Mar 05, 2020
MagicBishop:
The virus had an infection rate of 2.5 people per infected individual under strict draconian communist quarantine in China.

In places like Lagos, one infected individual can easily infect 10. Those 10 will infect a hundred and a hundred will infect 10,000.

Remember that this virus is highly contagious and that close contact with infected individuals is certain way of getting infected. And if you factor that it takes on average 14 days to begin to show symptoms, that means an infected individual has 2 weeks to spread the virus to as much people as possible. Now imagine this person lives and works in Lagos and depends on public transportation. He will be in close contact with several random individuals daily.

Now what about simple benign things like handling currency. The virus was detected in currency notes in China. Simply accepting change or money could be a means of infection.

This is no joke.

PoliticsRe: The Fulani Sunni Establishment Moves To Outlaw Another Islamic Sect by ODB2(op): 8:49pm On Mar 04, 2020
saaron:
The sunni fulani caliphate in sokoto have been using govt instruments to fight religious sects within Islam. Aparently fulanis can't stand islamic sects they can't control.
It's just a matter of time before the results of their bloodshed and persecution against islamic sects implode against them.
The fulani caliphate in sokoto will fall.

ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD.
As long as the Sokoto Caliphate with their emirates remain the sole supreme authority on Islamic Jurisprudence as contained in the Constitution, the Fulani who hold the keys to these institutions will continue to clampdown hard on any dissenting opinion.

Maitassine sect came under heavy clampdown because their leader preached against the corruption of the northern elite.

El-Zackzacky being a Hausa and a Shiite also condemned the monarchical and exclusive Fulani claim to head the Muslim Ummah.

Why we are yet to see same similar united clampdown on BH and Fulani Herdsmen by same Fulani elite is because both of these groups are expanding and consolidating the Fulani grip on the socio-religious and political sphere of the north and across Nigeria.
PoliticsThe Fulani Sunni Establishment Moves To Outlaw Another Islamic Sect by ODB2(op): 6:22pm On Mar 04, 2020
So we heard today of protests in Kano calling for the arrest and prosecution of an obscure musician over what the protesters' claimed was necessary over the lyrics of a new song he composed which they deemed blasphemous.

The Musician is on the run after a mob burnt down his house and his parents are currently under police arrest (for God knows why) but that was not enough for the zealots who were baying for his arrest and most likely execution.

What I did get from that Premium Times report was that the Musician now at large belongs to the Tijjaniya sect of Islam.

I did a quick google search on this sect and this is what I came up with....

The founder of Tijaniyya Tariqah, Sīdī ‘Aḥmad al Tijānī, was an Algerian scholar, born in 1737. In 1772, he went on a pilgrimage to Mecca after studying hadith in Fez. After he returned, he proclaimed that the Prophet (pbuh) had tasked him to form a new Tariqah. Shortly after his proclamation, he publicized his novel Tariqah. Al Tijani considered himself superior to other Sufi leaders (awliyās) and Tijaniyya and its followers superior to all other sects and their respective followers which instigated his declaration that it is prohibited to be engaged in any other Tariqah once you become a Tijani. With this declaration, he went against the sufi custom which resulted in major disputes with other Sufis. Al Tijani went as far as to say that he was on the same rank as the Prophet and proclaimed that he was the only way God could reach his people and vice versa. He also gave himself the title of kutb which refers to the person that holds the highest rank in Sufi religion.

Another Dissimilarity the Tijaniyya Tariqah had with other Sufis was that it concentrated more on the sublime relationship with the Prophet whilst other Sufis mainly concerted on the spiritual relationship between the believer and Allah. The Tijānī also accorded a lot of significance to education and culture.

Tijaniyya and its views were widely spread although not extensively accepted mainly because its concepts were seen as radical by other Muslims. From the onset, Tijaniyya and its founder was censured and condemned. The condemnation escalated to the point that open discussions had to be held between Tijaniyya leaders and leaders of the French colonization. A protest was also organized against the Tijaniyya in Nigeria in the 1970s as a means to unite Muslim sects in order to secure political powers.
From the bolded above we see that this sect has been having some problems with the established Fulani Islamic authorities.

We see that they have elicited censorship and condemnation and also mass protests like what transpired today in Kano

From what I can glean, given the outright proscription of Shiites by the Fulani Wahabbi establishment is that any sect or group within Islam that does not adhere to the dictates of the Fulani Order will face some form of protest, violent backlash and outright ban.

Are we going to see another round of religious persecution within the Islamic fold?

You guess is as good as mine. Because the Tijaniyya sect is widespread among Muslims in the north unlike the minority Shiites. Also, recall that the origins (or rather excuse) to clampdown on Shiites in Zaria was as a result of a melee that broke out between Shiites and Sunnis in Zaria over Mosque leadership. The Shiites in Nigeria do not build their own mosques as they claim this will create a divide among Muslims in Nigeria. The whole fatal squabble came about when the minority Sunnis kicked against a Shiite leadership. The Shiites barricaded the road the next day in protest of the killings of their members by the Sunnis and unfortunately for them Buruntai was to pass through that same road. The rest is history,

Now, if the minority Shiites can be so gregarious as to continue to protest the injustice meted them by the security forces, what will happen if this current Tijaniyya debacle goes nuclear with Sunni Wahabbis attacking the sect. It won't be funny because as I have already stated, the Tijaniyya sect are no minorities. Any repeat of the Shiite clampdown on the Tijaniyya sect will surely lead to a full blown sectarian civil war in the north. The Fulani should not push their luck with this as the majority Hausa people are slowly waking up to the Fulani menace.

Will it take another religious war to evict Fulanis from power? It surely seems so!

The Faidha and Tiijaniya will now all be labelled as apostates to be hunted and killed.

I see a brewing rivalry among main stream Islamic sects in Kano versus this Tiijaniya sect.

The accusation is obviously a cooked up lie as is common with these Sunni Wahabbi goats just as they did and still doing to the Shiite group.

KwaraRat:
The north has always found an excuse to defend their foolishness and barbarity whenever they decide to stage riots in their enclaves specifically targeting southerners and non-Muslims in their midst and that excuse has always centered around desecration of their Islam and Prophet. It is not hidden knowledge that the north deploys sectarian riots and violent radical Islamist militias and mob violence to enforce their political will and agenda. And after any of their foolish riots, the same north will defend their position by claiming to be victims and the not so lucky southerner or non-Muslim killed as the true villains.

The usual excuse they dole out after committing another round of foolishness is that their allah was criticized.

They have used this tactics for so long (since 1945) and successfully as well to turn themselves to the victims and their hapless victims to the villains.

An obscure Danish magazine published a cartoon pic of their Prophet in far away Denmark, which none of them even saw first hand but that didn't stop them from going on a killing spree.

In today's world of Political correct narratives, the Danish Magazine and editorial board would have been labelled racist and a propagator of hate speech.

You must understand that the average Muslim northerner has never been inundated with so much brazen criticism of his or her precious allah and we thank God for the internet for providing a very safe distance to criticize these bokos.

The real motive behind this hate speech is to clamp down on any body who criticizes Islam.

If they are able to get the bill passed, they will then start monitoring social media and where any "offensive" post on their Islam and Prophet is detected, they will circulate it among themselves, stage violent riots and at the end you the author will be blamed for whoever these lunatics kill.

This is the real motive behind the useless hate speech and it is to censor ANY anti-Islam criticism, avenge it through mob violence on innocent people in the north and then use state apparatus to prosecute and execute the original author.

So they actually support Hisbah and not Amotekun.

Double standards.

Now you know why they want to have a Hate Speech bill.

At the end it is to make criticism of Islam a capital offense.

You make a post here on NL or anywhere on Social Media criticizing Islam and it's prophet, they then use your same post as an excuse to riot and kill innocent people. Rather than go after the people that instigated violence over your free right of expression, they will arrest, put you on trial and then condemn you to death as the one responsible for the violence that saw to the barbaric murder of innocent people by the same lunatics.

The Hate Speech Bill is designed to shield Islam, Muslims and their authority from criticism.

Scores of youth stormed the Kano Hisbah office on Wednesday over an alleged blasphemy song against the Holy Prophet Muhammad.

The protesters holding placards alleged that the government and the security agents in the state are reluctant to act over the matter.

The convener of the protest, Idris Ibrahim (known as Baba Idris), said they came to notify the government to do the needful; otherwise, they will take the law into their hands.

Mr Ibrahim said similar incidents had happened in the state in the past that were not attended to by the authorities.

Earlier, one Yahaya Sharif-Aminu composed a song containing alleged derogatory comments attributed to the Prophet Muhammad. This prompted violence against the family members of the musician who fled the area last week.

Last Friday, the family house of the singer located at Sharifai quarters in Kano Municipal Local Government Area was set ablaze by irate youth who protested the song.

The singer is said to be a member of the Islamic Tijjaniya sect and a member of Faidha group. He is yet to speak on the matter.

While addressing the protesters, the Kano Hisbah Commander, Harun Ibn-Sina, said officials in the state are on top of the situation and the parents of the musician have been arrested and are currently under police custody.

Also addressing the protesters was the representative of the state police commissioner, Habu Sani, who told the protesters that the police are making efforts to arrest the fleeing singer.

The representative of the police chief who identified himself as Hamza urged the protesters to be law-abiding citizens by allowing the security agents to do the needful. He assured the gathering that the musician would not go unpunished.

Why Lai is Quiet

The relative quietness of Alhaji Lai Mohammed in the face of raging political agitations within and outside his native Kwara State is not for nothing. Lai, who led the O‘to‘ge revolution, apparently has gulped a Tilapia bone that is now stuck in his throat! Unlike the baby faced immediate past commander in chief, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who did not wear shoes until he went to school, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq was not born into lack. Hence, Lai must adopt a different strategy

Governor Abdulrazaq’s father was the first northern Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN; his sister was the first female Senator from Northern Nigeria, and another brother was until recently, the chief financial officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. Remarkably, the family has not been out of sight, politically. Only they had been shadowed by another political family—the Sarakis. In 1979, the governor’s father was the governorship candidate of the Great Nigeria Peoples Party, GNPP, in the old Kwara State. His bid failed against the candidate sponsored by the late Senator Olusola Saraki, that is Adamu Attah. In 1999, the bid by a son of the family, Dr. Alimi Abdulrazaq on the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP failed against the candidate sponsored by Senator Olusola Saraki, that is Mohammed Lawal.

Even more, the Sarakis have also tended to dominate in the cultural setting. Though Alhaji Abdulrazaq was senior to Oloye, it apparently did not go down well that Saraki was made Waziri by the emir of Ilorin. The same title has also been taken by Oloye’s son, Bukola. Apparently, even if the Abdulrazaqs do not say or show it, some are bound to have the feeling of a family rivalry as the reason for the New Year demolition of the elder Saraki’s property. So, given the historic rivalry between the two families, it is understandable that Lai Mohammed has quietly refrained himself from the melee.

But how quiet can he be given his leading role in the enthronement of the present regime in the state? Indeed, when Lai led the popular O‘to‘ge revolution to oust the Saraki, he apparently did not bargain foisting another family hegemony in the place of another. But that is apparently what has happened, and Alhaji Lai whose life story was from grass to grace, is now wedged in a war between scions of two of the most prominent families in Kwara State. Before descending on the Sarakis with a vengeance just before dawn on New Year, the governor’s position in the APC hierarchy had been consolidated with the reduction of his perceived rivals. The first was apparently Lai. When last August, the governor honoured a reception in Abuja after Lai was again nominated as minister on merit, associates of the governor were pissed off after the chairman of the state chapter of the APC, Bashir Bolarinwa referred to the minister as leader of the party in the state.

Bolarinwa’s reference was apparently due to Lai’s yeoman role in dethroning Bukola Saraki as the political leader of the state. Hours after the reception, groups inclined to the governor initiated a tumult with a campaign to force the chairman out of office. The chairman has since learnt to bridle his tongue. At another time, allies of the government initiated a campaign to enthrone the deputy governor of the state, Kayode Alabi as the political leader of Kwara South as a way of diminishing the profile of the Honourable Minister.

In all these direct and indirect attacks, Lai has kept a dignified silence. Unlike when he had the Otueke man without shoes in his sight, the honourable minister has seemingly retreated, but certainly not out of sight. That is because the governor seemed to have overlooked the fact that the second minister from the state, Senator Gbemi Saraki who also belongs to the APC would not be unamused by the development. After all, her father’s last political outing was his failed attempt to project her as governor against the will of her brother, Bukola. The bitterness from that 2010/11 fight has kept them away from one another and in opposite political camps. Abdulrazaq may now have inadvertently brought them closer to reconciliation.

Governor Abdulrazaq’s move against the Sarakis is bound to upset the political permutations in the state in several ways. One, Gbemi is aligned to the Lai camp that has been severally deprecated by the governor’s camp. Lai and his followers are again bound to see the governor’s action as unnecessary. Bukola has, despite his political losses, sustained the stomach infrastructure and empowerment programmes carried out at the demolished complex. So when the governor’s bulldozers came around the complex in the wee hours of Thursday, they were stoutly resisted by several women who had benefited from the empowerment packages of the Sarakis. Those women like several others do not just have a voice; they have votes which the governor had better court than crush!

The only reason this current Governor of Kwara is to the point of obsession trying to erase not only Bukola Saraki's name and legacy but also that of the late senior Saraki is because as far as Kwara goes, their two families have been in competition and political wars since the early 70's. The Saraki family has always come out tops.

When Lai Mohammed supported the incumbent governor to oust the PDP and also see to Saraki not getting re-elected back to the senate, same Lai Mohammed thought he had arrived in politics as a king maker. Lai will then begin to address himself as the head of the APC in Kwara to the anger of the current Governor. Normally a Governor is the leader of the party in his state and not an appointed minister!

Lai Mohammed was then reminded by the governor to know not only his place in the APC but also Kwara and was reminded of his lowly background and wretched lineage.

Today, Lai dare not talk in Kwara.

Moral of the story: Be careful of what you wish for. In pulling down Saraki, Lai forgot he was installing a governor that was proud, arrogant and quick to remind Lai of his lowly status.
