pongwa:
this authority was bequeathed to states. Who now acts in behalf of the 'states'?
This is an ambiguity please explain further
Only state governments via the state assemblies are empowered to establish sharia “courts”. And even when done, they are voluntary for both Muslims and Christians. Even as a Muslim you can choose not to appear before a sharia court and you can choose not to be bound by the judgement even when you willingly attend.

If they implemented sharia in the north the way it is spelt out in the constitution, I am sure nobody would have a problem. But they don’t and take advantage of the fact that many of them in the North are ignorant of the law. Therefore based on how they have implemented sharia in the North and considering that only a state assembly can establish sharia, they will struggle to get this going in the SW.


Having said that I was surprised to learn that sharia court or panel is fully active in Lagos state!


See below: (why the suspicion against any so called panel is justified.

https://www.hrw.org/reports/2004/nigeria0904/4.htm



“However, in the southwestern state of Oyo, it was reported that on October 31, 2002, a man was sentenced to flogging for extra-marital sex and the punishment carried out, even though Shari’a is not in force in the state. He was sentenced not by a Shari’a court, but by an Independent Shari’a Panel.”

Tricky people. They would never specify the type of sharia they want in the southwest region. Is it Sharia criminal laws or sharia civil laws? Sharia criminal laws include stoning blasphemous persons to death, stoning women to death for adultery, cutting the hands of thieves; etc extreme punishment. Sharia criminal laws are not recognised by Nigeria's constitution
but sharia civil laws are recognised by Nigeria's constitution.
Instead, of soecifying which type of sharia they want exported to the Yoruba, they ĥmouth sharia sharia sharia.
These Sokoto Caliphate people are cunning - tricky.
They raped Nigeria's Constitution and took to sharia criminal laws since 1999. Boko Haram quickly followed and say that they are fighting for a country to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.

Christians and many Muslims in S/west do not fancy the idea.


So, just let it rest.

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.
Isese courts and ecclesiastical courts should be set up everywhere too including Sokoto state.

And same constitution did not allow Christain yo breath in the North.


And same constitution also allow the damn Sultan of Sokoto to think he can come from Fouta Djalon to come and Lord himself over everybody here ba?

And the same constitution prohibited Christain law and prohibited Traditionsll law ba?

Una go hear word by force.

The Fulani led by His Eminence Sultan of sokoto excesses should be checked.
There has always been customary court in Oba palace to settle disputes in Yoruba land.
Why is it that Sultan is insisting of bringing their own court to settle disputes in Yoruba land.
What is he up to?
Shariah was established in zanfara state in the days of Shettima as governor and a poor farmer was drag before their panel for stealing a goat. They cut off his right arm. Is that they law Sultan is asking for in south west ?
South west is too educated for such barbaric and satanic laws to be carried out in their lands.
This is all about Jihads and land acquisitions. The South west should be aware.

This Yoruba matter dey tire me o. How can you be a Muslim and not love Sharia? No wonder the Hausa call them fake Muslims. Sharia is a part of the subscribed bundle na.

Any way, Sharia has come to stay, you see that Lagos? Sharia will reign supreme.

Once the Sharia panel is granted next is southwest muslims will demand as their right they want to be gorverned by sharia law and with that comes hisba police that will enforce islamic laws and start destroying ogogoro in Yoruba land.

All that is required to stop progress and set a country back by centuries is a bunch of terrorists associated with the Satan of Sokoto to go on a self-harm mission in the name of shari'a.
The country is suffering today largely due to insecurity started off by them and they want a president with a magic wand to perform wonders for an economy where producers of goods and services are kiilled without consequences.
What country has shari'a ever helped to grow? What good things has shari'a helped states in the north to achieve? Economic growth? Security of lives and property? So, the ediott wants to bring his evil agenda here? Someone tell the stewpid empty barrel that what his footsoldiers have asked him to do won't work out. Ça marche pas!
Nonsense.

You are funny. Nigerian politicians have found a way to use what divide us as election topics. That is why Tinubu could get away with not doing a debate. It's not about law or constitution, it's about the issues Nigerians tell themselves and that's what informs their votes.
Nonsense, debate with Empty Barrels, Just make noise emu parrots.

Why Gringory Obi nondebate with em Oga Atiku & Sowore?

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.
Keyboard warrior. If them born ur papa well come and implement it in the South West if u no go rot for prison. Bloody Terrorist.

Muslim Muslim ticket no do una, na sharia una wan start join. Like i said if them born ur papa well come and try it.

The time is ripe for all so called SE state leadership, to ban the practice of sharia in any of the states. To make it easy for them, they should make it a referendum in the next 3 months, and let the people decide.


Igbos need to nip this in the bud.
If you play with them, their sharia will hover the great Angels (which all Igbos are). Aluu/Aruu. A tufiakwa something. Then the igbos of SS, will push for the same agenda. If the so called SE don't pass it, the so called SS will drag feet, due to enemy influence intensity.


is many more to be said in this. But any state leader against something like this should be impeached and not reelected.

I trust my South East brothers, they can't even try it in the South East. They will be stoned to death. Honestly, Yoruba Muslims are our problem in the South West. Always supporting anything evil. That was how they supported the evil Muslim Muslim ticket. They hate Obasanjo and Osinbajo simply because they are Christains. 90% of Tinubu supporters in the South West are Yoruba Muslims. I prefer Hausa Muslims to Yoruba Muslims lately.

There traditional court, lead by clan leaders, bale's. It's a matter of choice.

In Yorubaland, we mix it or choose your choice. Like if one want to do wedding, you can go to civil court for wedding, go to Mosque/Church or do traditional. Some people do all of it

Idiotic Muslims, the same constitution upholds the sanctity of human life but you uses Sharia judgment on Christians in the North and killing them under the guise of Blasphemy.

Did the constitution permit Muslims to kill Christians in the name of blasphemy?
when there is too much peace in a particular region it becomes a worry to some region who will always find a way to cause issue... This sharia of a thing is more political than religion and also to distract the populace from other pressing challenges facing Nigeria

Useless law that refers to others as infidels must not be allowed in SW.
Useless Law that says Infidels must not rule them
Useless Law that says the so called infidels should be killed.
Even Muslims with brain will not request for such evil and primitive law in SW

After supporting the energence of Muslim Muslim ticket the best thing th sultan and his cohort should is bring up policies that will help both Muslim and non- Muslim in Nigeria rather than disturb us with sharia that has not helped anybody since it's creation.

I think this issue will cost the President the next election. We already have tribalism and Muslim Muslim ticket. The way they keep dividing us, they'll make it a religious election and the rhetorics are not making it any better.

This is why people cannot see it as a non partisan issue because the ingredients in the kitchen and the food that has been cooked in the past will not make it a good food.
That's just the purpose of it but it will fail and the ediott and his politicians will be shamed. Nonsense!
