GloriousGbola:
Are these the people that claim to oppose boko haram?

They all share the same goals.

It should be noted that to a fundamentalist all other religions/belief systems are also blasphemy

The north should embrace their caliphate and break away. Democracy is also unislamic. Stop trying to have your cake and eat it

Maynman:


But a terrorist can kill and maim and be forgiven and termed repentant in the north?

Nova1988:


You should understand that this only applies to the north, you can blaspheme all you want wherever you are but don't come to the north and say shit.

Seyiemath:
you can talk all you want. Law is law. You violate the law you face the consequences. It is as simple as that. If you think it is only in Nigeria think again.

The Western world has limit when it comes to the so called free speech. Go to Israel, Germany, France and declare holocaust didn't exist. Wait and see what happens

ifiokjohn:
that can only happen in the north hope you not.

She can stay in the west, east or south south and blaspheme and nothing you guys can do about it. Afterall she isn't even a Muslim and neither a Christian.
You should know this law only affect those living in the north.. not the entire country.

Someone can curse Muhammad from far away ABA or Rivers or AKwa IBOM or Lagos, or Ekiti, and nothing will happen.


Highest you bring police come and her people and police go fight.

So calm down.



By the way I don't support the man, he is foolish. You know where you come from and you know you're living in the north and you have the mind to insult their prophet.. it's stupidity. Good for him

Dialpad:
One lunatic on another thread supports this sentence, no wonder their region is filled with backward people

Nova1988:


You guys are very annoying, always speaking for us. How do we share same goals with Boko Haram because of this? There are set of laws you're supposed to follow, he knows this law and he knows he's going to be punished if he breaks the law and he still went ahead to do it and now he's being punished by the law.
How does this back your claim sir?

Religion..
Spits**

Any reasonable legislative system will place blasphemy under free speech...The only systems where blasphemy is punishable are religious either overtly (like Saudi Arabia) in the name of offending religious sentiments)...

The problem with these religious laws is that they punish people for doing things that don't harm anybody like gays having sex and so on.. these are entirely personal choices for the actions not resulting in harm for anyone else...

If you don't believe that someone else's god/prophet isn't a real god/prophet then you shouln't get all worked up when that someone tells you that your god/prophet isn't real either...

The case of blasphemy is doubly funny cos every religious cleric blasphemes on other religions...For example the first chapter of Qur'an labels the Jews and Christians as the cursed ones and those wo have gone astray... Imagine a non-muslim saying something similar about Islam/Muslims .. the extremists would be shouting blaaasphemeee...

Religion is supposed to thrive on comparison with other religions...Show what is wrong with other religions and invite followers of those religions to your religion.... .. it's that simple..

slowice:
24yrs for blasphemy? What stupid law is this and which mad judge would sentence a man 24yrs for blasphemy.?



Mumu country

Yebams:
All these terrorist people

Realists:


Kindly read the blasphemy laws before you comment on social media, a million likes by lay men ain't worth it.

WHERE IN THE LAW OF NIGERIA IS "BLASPHEMY" A CRIME PUNISHABLE BY DEATH OR IMPRISONMENT?

Maxymilliano:
How can an atheist be tried for blasphemy when he does not believe in any religion

1Sharon:


Oh you dare.not say anything against their prophet or you'll unleash the beast in them.

Look up Aasia Bibi. Also sentenced for blasphemy. Her lawyers that defended her were all killed.

Barcaking2:


You make a very strong case here supporting why you should not interfere with other people opinion especially when the other party does not believe in other people opinion

My question is simple, if I say gay and transgender goes against the natural process and I don't subscribe to it, why then am I called homophobic and harrassed
That is my opinion and won't believe in the other party brain washing process cos they are not equally convincing.

Aren't they also guilty of the same logic and processes
