Which spiritual ? Oh I remember the juju spirituality but your Isese worshippers were stoned by fulani Muslims in Osun state for worshipping Idol two days ago and nothing happened

Just dey play with the spirituality nonsense you here till the fulani Muslims chase you out of your ancestral lands like they did in Ilorin kwara state and Ibarapa
Be kind nah Haba!

All I have to say is Yoruba Muslims should publicly denounce Islam if they don't want sharia law. There are no choices to be made. Sharia is a way of life to Muslims.

The last time I check you are supposed to be slave to Allah and not religion. But when religion takes away common sense from you, you become slave to that religion
don't mind them. They think everybody is stupid, myopic, foolish and lack power of mental reasoning.

Do you know why they don't want Islam to be questioned and be put to scrutiny. Do you know why you'll be killed for trying to question islam??

The problems with Islam ..

They always want special treatment, while neglecting the feeling of others. They go about doing it forcefully with threats and violence.

Just imagine what will happen if Christians go about demanding for canon laws in every place they are.

Sharia law is a relic of the past that has no place in a modern and progressive society like Yorubaland. It is a system that promotes backwardness, undermines justice, and stifles cultural and societal development. Historically, the Yoruba people have thrived on their Omoluabi ethos—values of integrity, progressiveness, and respect for humanity. Sharia law contradicts these principles and threatens the foundation of our heritage.

The government must take a firm stand against individuals or groups advocating for the imposition of Sharia law in Yorubaland. It is crucial to investigate and monitor clerics who push this agenda, as many of them are likely influenced by external forces seeking to destabilize our region. These individuals should be held accountable, and where necessary, prosecuted, as their actions endanger the unity and progress of our people.

Clerics championing Sharia law should focus on meaningful contributions to society rather than exploiting religion as a means to manipulate and scam the vulnerable. Yorubaland has always been a beacon of innovation, education, and cultural pride, and we must not allow regressive ideologies to erode the progress built by our ancestors. Those who insist on practicing Sharia law are encouraged to relocate to regions or countries where it is already established, rather than impose it on communities that reject it.

The example of northern Nigeria, where Sharia law is practiced, provides a clear warning. Despite its implementation, the region has not recorded any significant progress attributable to the law. Instead, it has created a system of inequality, where the poor and vulnerable are oppressed while the powerful and corrupt evade justice. No northern governor or political elite has ever faced Sharia's full weight, exposing its inherent flaws and hypocrisy.

Yorubaland must stand united against the infiltration of these regressive ideologies. We must protect our cultural heritage, foster progress, and ensure that the Omoluabi values remain the guiding principles of our society. The future of Yorubaland lies in education, inclusivity, and innovation—not in the adoption of archaic laws that have repeatedly failed to deliver justice or development.

Some Muslims in SW have been applying Sharia to their personal lives like marriage, inheritance, divorce for ages. Some riff raffs want to disrupt that process on top wetin. Did the mosque call for cutting a hand of thief?

Mut'ah: A Divine Prostitution In Islam

Many foreign journalists complain annually of prostitution in Mecca during hajj, it is because they don't understand the divine backing of what goes on.

Even with stringent terms of Sharia which stipulates that an adulterer or fornicator be executed. If two people are caught in an affair and brought before the Islamic court and they say they were only doing mut'ah, the jurisdiction will have less or no power to sanction them.

What is Mut'ah?
If he is a traveller, a tourist or a pilgrim, the faithful Muslim may have some other temporary 'wives' at strategic places wherever he lodges. This "marriage" is known as mut'ah or the law of "Desire" or "pleasure".

Mut'ah marriage may last for one hour or as long as the man desires.


I will update with details later.
Now Updated:::


MUT'A: DIVINE PROSTITUTION?

Again, if he is a traveler, a tourist or a pilgrim, the faithful Muslim may have some other temporary 'wives' at strategic places wherever he lodges. This 'marriage' is known as mut'ah or the Law of Desire. The word mut'ah means 'desire' or 'pleasure'. Mut'ah marriage may last for one hour or as long as the man desires. Some regard as an example of the kingdom of Allah on earth, especially, under Khomeini. Since the Sharia, the Islamic legal system, became fully operational in Iran in 1979, mut'ah has been revitalized. Many Iranian women (most of them divorcees) are engaged in mut'ah for economic sustenance. According to a research work done by an Iranian woman, Shahla Haeri, mut'ah flourishes in Iran and Egypt today. Some Islamic scholars in Iran believe that one is even free to contract many mut'ahs at the same time—apart from the four wives and slave girls or house-helps the Muslim man may have at home.

Historian Burkhardt has pointed out that mut'ah was already prevalent in Arabia before Mohammed started his preaching. The custom was that a host would normally offer a female relative of his to his guest for the night. The 'marriage' ended the following morning or as long as the guest stayed there. When the practice became fully developed in Islam, it became an arrangement between a man and an unmarried woman, preferably, a virgin, divorcee or widow in which the partners specify in advance the period that the relationship shall last and the amount of money to be paid by the man. Witnesses are not required nor parents involved; the marriage need not be registered. By mutual agreement of the partners, this 'marriage' can last from one hour or as long as the partner want. At the end of the agreed time, the temporary 'spouses' part without any formality or divorce ceremony.

The woman, after separation, must abstain from sex for two months to know who actually fathered the child that may result from the acts. This practice is common, especially among tourists, pilgrims, and visitors. With such a provision, one does not have to travel with one's wife to avoid adultery.

A modern Muslim who grew or was educated in America or Europe may contend that mut'ah is just an invention of some weak Iranian or Egyptian men and not an approved practice of Islam. Let us consult on the Islamic authority to lay the matter to rest. Commenting on Surah 4:24, Al-Razi, one of the greatest Islamic thinkers, says:

Mut'ah marriage involved a man hiring a woman for a fixed term in exchange for a specific amount of money for a certain period of time to have sex with her. The scholars agree that this Mut'ah marriage was authorized in the beginning of Islam. It is reported that when the Prophet came to mecca to perform 'Omrah, the women of Mecca dressed up and adorned themselves. The Companion (that is, the followers of Mohammed) complained to the Prophet that they had not had sex for a long time, so he said to them: "enjoy these women".

In the Hadith Mishkat-ul-Masabih, we read:
Ibn Mas'ud reported: We were fighting along with the Messenger of Allah while (our) wives were not with us. We said, 'shall we not undergo castration?' The Holy Prophet forbade us from that. Afterwards, he made lawful Mut'ah Marriage. So all of us married a woman for a fixed term in exchange for a cloth. Afterwards, Abdullah (i.e., servant of Allah, Mohammed) recited: O those who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made for you. (Surah 5:87)
(Mishkat, Book 2, Hadith no.115).

That means the revelation of Allah recorded in that Surah 5:87 quoted in that Hadith came to give a divine approval on Mut’ah. If Allah is the one that gave these instructions through Mohammed, we need to ask if indeed Allah is the same God that reveals Himself in the Bible, or he is the Olodumare that the Yoruba know. When every year foreign journalists complain of prostitution in Mecca during the hajj, it is because they do not understand the divine backing of what goes on. To the Christian, all this automatically nullifies God's clear injunction: "Thou shalt not commit adultery." To a Muslim, such a commandment is vague. Mut’ah makes the words ‘adultery’, ‘fornication’, and ‘prostitution’ very difficult to define. It makes a mockery of the Islamic legal system called Shariah which stipulates that an adulterer or fornicator be executed. If two people are caught in an affair and brought before the Islamic court and they say they were only doing mut’ah, how would the jurists disprove them?

Because the owners of the land will not allow it. They can migrate to Afghanistan if they are that desperate to live by their sharia laws. The muslims who adopted sharia Laws into their lives in the n orth in 2001, how far? How has sharia laws benefitted their lives? what progress has it brought to their social-economic, cultural and spiritual lives? Nada!!! Only the poor ones are getting their limbs chopped off for stealing one loaf of bread whilst their elite are embezzling billions of naira, every day.

Any yoruba muslim who insist on living by sharia law is welcome to migrate to Kano, katsina or sokoto but there's no room for that barbaric laws, anywhere in yorubaland.

All these fake imported religions have destroyed the normal mental processes of a lot of our people.

If you are following any of the two religion, you should know for fact that:

There is no heaven, there is no hell, there is no God (or god), there is no Allah, there are no angels, there are no demons, there are no spirits, there is no life after death, juju don't work, there is no eternal judgment, there is no karma, there was no historical Jesus. All those are figment of human imaginations and tools use by a very few some to control the very many others. The earlier you understand and accept these facts as facts, the happier and merrier your life and existence will be.

The religion you're currently claiming is the religion of your parents, if you were born into a different family of another religion (say Hinduism), that is the exact religion you will practice.

You were born without a religion in you, your factory reset has no religion in it. If you were to be a phone and they do factory reset on you today being a phone, there will not be anything found related to religion in your settings, files and file systems anymore; you learn religion only after your birth growing up.


Islam is idolatry and paganism, Christianity aswell is idolatry - All the world religion is idolatry, including all the Abrahamic religion. Holy communion is idolatory, bowing for a stone call Kaaba of the Bedouin tribes is also idolatory, killing of rams is idolatory, kissing or licking of a stone at mecca is idolatory, throwing of stone at pilgrimage is idolatory too.

Infact, Illah is what the Arabic call God and not Allah. Allah was one of the diety been worshiped before the invention of Islam. That is why muslims will say something like "la ilah ila huwa" meaning Allah is one Illah (God). Have you ask yourself why Prophet Mohammed's father who was an idol worshiper and who lived before the invention of islam has Allah in is name Abdullai== Abdu Allah? It is because Allah has been an idol worshiped by paganists before the Prophet received his revelations.

All Abrahamic religion are idolatory, they only package them well and condemn your heritage as evil, whereas, Nigeria was better in terms of morality, honesty and integrity before they brought the foreign religions.

In peace loving, emotional intelligence, love for neighbor, respect for sanctity of life, we are even better than those who brought those religion with primitive leaders and prophets whose morality and characters are highly questionable.


Release yourself today from these shackles of religion. Stop wasting your existence away!
The atheism you practice is also a foreign import.

When Yoruba Muslims want to marry, they invite imam to conduct niklah, but when that marriage begins to wobble, they should be able to once again invite the imam for arbitration rather than go to civil courts backed by Judeo-Christian laws.

Sharia method of settling dispute has been in Yoruba land before you were born. The only different of what happened in Ekiti was establishment of committee for it. Unlike before that a knowledgeable scholar or cleric will be called for settlement of dispute according to Quran and Hadith.

Though, I don't support it too. It's better for them to be doing it how it goes before.
Re: Ewi Of Ado-Ekiti Disbands Sharia Panel, summons Islamic leaders by Blessed4sure:
You don't know what we are afraid of? Then let me tell you.

We are afraid of:
- Barbaric laws that could turn our states into Afghanistan and other most backward nations on earth. And which is one reason why the average Muslim would prefer a UK visa, for example, rather than a visa to any Islamic sharia-practising country
- Archaic laws that have contributed into making the north a very backward region.
- Laws and practices which have not prevented "The seat of the caliphate" from being the poverty capital of Nigeria.

We respect well meaning Muslims and their practice of religion, but laws that have contributed to killings and backwardness in the north cannot be allowed over here.
