Sharia courts an Islamic civil service court resolving operations it has no criminal systems operations even back in Britain there are several Sharia courts civil legal services operations. The court has nothing to do with Christian cases operations.
So all anti Muslim systems operations should stop all their systems against Islamic systems operations.

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.
But it's good for the southwesterners after all a very large population of them are Muslim, and since 1960 they have had this marriage with the north. So, nothing should change now. No divorce this time please. Sharia in Yoruba States has come to pass.

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.
I get you, and to add to that.
No time to stand dey observe them.

These few time dem get, especially when this demonic/demonic ticket still dey power, is the time for Igbos to really strengthen, unite, plan and move with the times. O na fio na Ebe li le. They mean us. They (north and now south west), know that bring sharia and islamics, reduce the igbo population. Not like igbos can't live with that, but in their own country, - No.


Things like stoning people and barbaric ways, can be shunned. Let us have the peoples court. We can debate on punishment types, etc. But all igbos and other people around, will be treated with respect and due hearing if possible.

Igbos need to be more tribe and less clan.
Any igbo that live in any igbo part is not a visitor, but even if you haven't left your place,OR you came yesterday, you should not constitute nuisance - especially if it affects other people. And you should also have the same rights except for voting, maybe if you have proof that you reside, school, work, there for 4 months. Then, you have the right to vote there. Is more to it, but I don't want to get emotional about it.




We need to move with the times, but with creative visionary wisdom. Things like these, we know the play, so nip it. Current State leaders should vote to ban it or open it for referendum, without taking too long. In 2 to 3 months, something like that can be voted on and done with.

States should be the ones setting this up, not Muslim communities. JNI, what are you on about?

I wonder how the Supreme Court will rule if this case gets traction.

Sharia arbitration panels “do not infringe on the rights of non-Muslims but merely offer a voluntary alternative dispute resolution mechanism for Muslims who choose to settle personal matters such as marriage, inheritance, and family disputes according to Islamic law.

[color=orange]Source[/color]
Although I am not a muslim but I think the explanation above in respect of Sharia arbitration panel makes sense. If the two parties or all the parties who are having disagreements are muslims and they want the issue resolved in Islamic way it makes sense to take the case to sharia arbitration panel.

Of course, if one of the parties is a non-muslim who is not interested in islamic or sharia law the matter cannot be taken to sharia panel obviously.

I see nothing wring with establishing the sharia panel provided it's strictly for muslims

Mrfeel:
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?
Islamic sharia allows a Christian lady to marry a Muslim without changing her religion, the only condition is she won't be entitled to the husband's inheritance same way the husband won't have a share of her inheritance if she dies before the husband, but this issue can be resolved since Islam allows one third of a person's property to be willed before death

And the south west made them feel too important than other tribes during the buhari era because to the Yoruba people , that's the only way they could get their support for Tinubu. Now, they want to establish sharia for Yoruba .. this was how they started with Ilorin in kwara state untill they conquered Ilorin. They want to conquer the whole of South west

Sharia in Nigeria is a political power grab. The north use it to exert control and introduce disorder, targeted violence and cultural overthrow.
The constitution they are laying claim to is the islamocentric constitution the military dropped on us like a time bomb which pays only lip service to the notion that Nigeria is both a secular state and a federal republic while in practice only mosque is mentioned in it and all the power is in the centre.
Brigadier General Muhammadu Sa'ad Abububakar, aka the sultan of sokoto, is a part of the military that is responsible for the constitution.
They don't want development. They only want a Nigeria that works against the productive South, doesn't give a thought to the emancipation of countless uneducated millions in the north, and gives the few chosen ones in the north total control - even choosing whether we live or die.
Everywhere sharia has gone, development has escaped. Billions of money to perform mass weddings and build mosques ( via inflated contracts) is the only outcome.
We don't drink alcohol but we will fight and threaten terror to hold onto the VAT from its sales...
Hypocrites.

They keep quoting the law but understanding in ignorance is what always happens....


If the bolded is vested on the State having the authority then we know first and foremost that the authority of the State is vested in the hands of the State NA and ultimately the State governor.
Where these authority thinks otherwise, no manner of advocacy or protest can stand.


Now they are quoting the constitution and impressing in on the South West States but we all know that's not what it is. The constitution can't say it's subject to South West States who having Muslims.
Why can't they say Sharia panels and Sharia Courts should be opened in all the South South and South Eastern States, after all that's what the Nigerian constitution says, why the demand for such panels in the SW. !!!!
It just seems the sanctimonious fanatics in the SW who intends to bring in trouble from the North are behind such things.
All these Muslims saying this and that will they want to hear that Christian Courts be allowed to open in the North as they demand same for Muslims in the SWhuh

If Muslims kill a Christian just because they claim the christian blaspheme against them the Muslim, where is the religious tolerance and what right does the Sharia panels/court or any Muslim judge a Christian on such matters?

Or maybe the Nigerian State should set up a mixed court where both christian clerics and Muslim clerics be the judges on such issues !!!!!

Sultan of Sokoto, should be warned to desist from interfering in SouthWest and face his Sokoto State, and develop his Sharia, within his limits!
If he things that is the only way to cajole the People and advancement of Prosperity of South Western Nigeria- - directly or Indirectly,through Subtitles Means, it's is going to fail!
•We have warmed and continuously told those who care to listen,we have both Christians and Muslims and that is what the Constitution of Federal Republic recognise!
•if anybody ,in Govt- have taken Money / Dollars 💰 - from Abroad or Pledge to influence the South West through Sharia' or anything from the Proponents of their Sharia- Or so they should keep it to themselves before it's too late!
-OBJ once told the 7- States -Who brought up Sharia during his Govt- then that ' This Is Political Sharia',as they wanted to destabilise his Govt!
-What have those State Achieved Since then?
Nothing - Other than that they have been Running to the FAC- Collect Humongous NBILLIONS Money, without Accountabilities and Transparency in Govt and the People remained Poor!
•Keep Sharia to your Northern States and Settling Up Sharia' Panel - should be for your households Families and if anyone desires it,go to the North-for this is a Politically Motivated Diversionary -means of Stepping Beyond your Boundaries!
- Our Traditional Rulers ( the Obas,Emir and Obis- and their Footsoldiers - sould Not Start what they can't Finished.
Most of these Obas,Emirs,goes Abroad - to threat themselves,while the Talakwas( the Poor Masses) remained to Suffer in Nigeria! Be wise!
•Nigeria Is already having Enough Problems -No Lights 🚨 ,No Good Roads,No Health Care Delivery,No Intercity Railway 🚂, Engineering,Space Explorations, Breakthrough in Medical Practices, NO-Agriculture/ Food Sufficiency- which India ,for Nation,for example ,has achieved- with Population of 1.45Billion People) etc.
-But Are All Missing In Nigeria as PAST Govts( became so Corrupt-those Problems listed above is Sufficient to deal with-yet,these so called Self -Imposed Rulers are causing troubles and wants to add their Own.No To Sharia in South West ⬅️.
