It was rejected because:

1. SW contains states with many religious groups. The implementation of Sharia law will exacerbate existing tensions between these groups. For instance, non-muslims who eats food openly were dealt with in the northern part of Nigeria during fasting period without recourse to the supremacy of the constitution.

2. The region has undergone significant social change and modernization; we see the implementation of Sharia law as a more primitive and archaic system. Even Arab countries are finding ways to do away with its tenets and principles e .g Dubai

3. The Southwest region of Nigeria is one of the most economically developed areas of the country. Some individuals may view Sharia law as incompatible with modern economic development and Western-style education.

4. The implementation of Sharia law may create parallel legal systems, leading to confusion and potential conflicts between Islamic and secular laws. The brutal killing of Deborah is still fresh in our mind.

5. The rise of extremist groups like Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria has created concerns that Sharia law will be used to promote radical ideologies.

6. The Southwest region of Nigeria has a significant Christian population and a strong presence of traditional religions. So, we view Sharia law as incompatible with their beliefs and practices.

7. Sharia law is for the poor citizens. e. g. El-rufai daughter remains untouched and unpunished for wearing transparent clothes during the wedding ceremony as Hisbah duddenly became toothless.

Just listen to yourself, Sharia is meant for the Muslims, you mean Yoruba Muslims should move from our father land to the north? Can you now see the reason why I said most of you guys are bunch of Illite.rates honestly. Live and let others live.
A Sharia court is a judicial body that applies Sharia (Islamic law) to resolve legal disputes, particularly those related to family law, personal status, inheritance, and sometimes criminal matters. These courts operate in various forms across different countries, depending on the legal system and the role of Sharia in the national constitution.

I support sharia law in the SW

It's really pathetic..Muslims need to stand up and stop this nonsense. This is rhe result of having Christian Governors in all SW states. This had to change and change fast.

What happened to the existing democratic courts in Nigeria that's a mixed state?? Why do we need shariah that cuts pples hand, and stone pple.....is there no law already for theft and other offences
... Why do y'all muslims look for ways to control pple with your religion yet come and complain of tolerance when pple refuse...

It's funny.... That's the same thing your prophet did....preach islam to pple of medina...they refused...he now claimed they fought him and he had to defend himself by killing millions of them and forcing islam on them as a constitution yet u are claiming your religion is peaceful... U guys should think small before say ur religion is peaceful

Leave and let leave? DOES HISBAH/ISLAM LEAVE AND LET LEAVE IN KANO? pls answer this Mr EDUCATION.

Seylad2009:
We embrace all religions in the Southwest. It's common to find families with both Christians and Muslims, and some even include traditional worshippers.

What we reject is fanaticism, which can lead to terrorism, religious conflict, and Christian cleansing —like what we are witnessing in Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna, and other areas.

mariovito:
Yoruba don enter one chance.

Very smart game being played here,

Use an igbo Muslim to write your letters and communique to make it seem democratic where as same igbo Muslim lawyer can't lead them in prayers.

After the south West, next stop to set up shari'a law and court will be Imam Haroun Muhammad Eze Esq. Village in enugu state and then the entire south east. Ndi iberibe

Southwest is known to be tolerant and accommodating. Let's not spoil that reputation. Please let's welcome and accept Sharia in good faith.
God bless the people of Southwest.

Is this one okay at all? Omo ode

Abi oooo, wereh will turn it to JIHAD as usual, wait till tomorrow before you drink blood that you need to calm your nerves down.

ahmedio2017:
Always use your senses if you have any, Sharia court has nothing to do with Christianity, stop this your stupidity... Live and let others live.....

free2ryhme:
The concern here isn’t just about religious rights—it’s about safety, unity, and governance. Forcing a Sharia court where people don’t want it could create unnecessary tension and division. The South-West runs on a secular legal system, and adding parallel courts might complicate justice and fuel conflicts. Plus, throwing hijab issues into the mix feels like a distraction from real governance problems. Instead of stirring controversy, leaders should focus on security, economic growth, and actual justice for all citizens, regardless of religion. The last thing Nigeria needs is another excuse for unrest.

The events of Hijab and Shariah arbitration have exposed the level of intolerance of Yoruba Christians to their Muslim folks. When you objectively analyse the events, it's a pure hatred mix with sheer ignorance shown by Southern Christian.
