These people are just hell bent on scartering yoruba land. Please how has the sharia help the northern states who already embraced it? Is north not still the head quater of poverty and insecurity of Nigeria despite the sharia? How many coropt politician have you ever seen subjecting their selves to the sharia court process in the north? Isn't only the helpless and the week of the society you see being trial under the sharia court in the north?
Please lets be wise, we shouldn't let religion erode our common sense!

Since they've been practicing Sharia in the North of what benefits has it brought about in their lives? They remained the poorest in the Country . This is what the Emirs are paid to do, to divide the people along religious line. North is the most corrupt region , evidence speaks volumes in the corruption cases by the EFCC. The gullible Northern masses will quick to defend the establishment of Sharia but refused to asked, of what benefits has Sharia brought to the North. it's only applicable to the poor while the rich continue to steal with their hands not chopped off.

JNI, being led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, noted that Section 275 of the 1999 Constitution grants states the authority to establish Sharia courts, and by extension, Shariah panels.
Ignorant Sultan trying to deceive people by calling it a panel.
According to the constitutions, it is the states and not individuals that can establish shariah courts.

Anybody can start a panel but it takes a government to establish a court.

While all these Islamic scholars are conducting rigorous consultations with those who matter in the southwest and across the country, traditionalists and Christians in the southwest are simply posting write-ups on social media, exposing themselves as social media tigers and lions....

I expected the CAN president and fractional leaders in the southwest to send a representative to the president and all sitting governors in the southwest to inform them of their intentions....

As we speak, Islamic terrorists and fundamentalists in the Southwest appear to have more influence than other religious adherents...I expected the RCCG, Catholics, and many other Christian organizations to come together and discuss how these laws will affect the public who are not Muslim believers.


This cannot be in the best interest of the Yoruba people. Sharia law is hostile to those who follow it. Our region in Yoruba land is based on Yoruba culture and principles that all of its people adhere to, rather than Islamic laws and norms.


# I oppose Sharia panels and courts in Yoruba land...

These guys have patiently waited for this moment all their lives. Now that the major Christian leaders (Adeboye, Oyedepo, Kumuyi) from the region are aging and there are no vibrant replacements in sight, it's a perfect time to introduce shariah.

Christians in the west better wake up. Otherwise, one day they will wake up to see shariah courts are all over the place.

If you call yourself Omoluabi and go against the rights of Muslims in the South West, you are intolerant of Omoluabi. I have one message for those intolerant Omoluabi: when the shariàl panel is inaugurated in all Southeast states, you can relocate to the iPod region.
Terrorist like you should relocate to Sokoto instead or ready to be k!led in SW.

This people really want to push this agenda , with the current hardship in the country they seem too determine to push this policy,having two mumuslim steering this country was a bad idea, I can’t believe we allowed this to happen, there’s no way in hell they would have been peace in this country if it was reversed and we had two Christians lead. There is something brewing and you don’t have to be a soothsayer to see it. may God watch over us.

Then there should be a Christian Court too in Southwest and in the North.

It's as simple as that.

I agree.
Sharia panels are private affairs, so everybody not interested should steer clear.
But we know the end game is having legal courts, hisbah police and enforced Sharia over everybody.

There will never be Sharia courts as advocated by Muric.

Sharia court is not a right and has never been.
Go ahead and inaugurate panels in every street corner, you can even have one in your compound, that is your headache
but you are never getting the government to do your bidding.
Re: Constitution Allows Muslims In South West States To Set Up Shariah Panels — JNI by smokinloud(m): 10:15pm On Feb 03, 2025
The notion that a state can demand Sharia law is a gross misinterpretation of the concept of statehood. What constitutes a state, after all, is not just a geographical boundary or a governing authority, but the collective will of its people. In the context of Nigeria, it's clear that the Yoruba people do not desire Sharia law, and it's absurd to suggest that it should be imposed upon them by a group of people or organizations from the North.

The idea that a state can be defined by a small group of individuals or organizations seeking to impose their will on others is a perversion of the democratic principle. It's a form of authoritarianism that has no place in modern society. The Yoruba people have made it clear that they do not want Sharia law, and it's their right to determine their own destiny.


As I've argued elsewhere, the imposition of Sharia law is not just a matter of religious freedom, but also a matter of cultural and national identity. The Yoruba people have a rich and vibrant culture that is distinct from the Islamic culture of the North. To impose Sharia law on them would be to erase their cultural identity and undermine their national sovereignty.

In short, the demand for Sharia law in Yoruba land is a form of cultural imperialism that must be resisted. The Yoruba people have the right to determine their own destiny, and it's our duty to respect and defend that right.

Those group you are calling on have no standing in this case since the panels are civilian affairs and has no legal or government backing.
Of course, we know their ultimate aim is a legal court with hisbah police enforcers but till then expect little pushback from most influential
persons or groups.

As long as we also allow Ogun lakaye people to also set up their own alternative dispute resolution panel, then it's fine with me. But if not, hmmm.

But why are they shouting on the Internet? Can't they go to court to challenge the interpretation of that section of the constitution??

The govs and state assemblies of course
so what are different groups throwing banters for? Why not consult widely and allow the state actors to carry out their duty as regards that. The governors have acted swiftly and sensibly too, anyone who is not happy with their decision should go to court.

this authority was bequeathed to states. Who now acts in behalf of the 'states'?
This is an ambiguity please explain further
That's it. Is it not a state led by a governor that should be championing the establishment of a sharia court? Why then should individual groups be doing so which then seems like forcing it down the throat of the residents of such state.

There are some Yoruba familys with both christians and Muslims, like tinubu he is a Muslim his wife is a Christian, how will shari'a law settle disputes in such families?
Shariah panel settle the case they brought to their panel, if Muslims choose to settle its matter in civil court, it's his choice. But deny those that that want to use (or that have been use) Shariah is not going to be acceptable.
