Religion..

You should just thank God for your life if you’re not a religious person..

These foreign Religion are one of the most unfortunate happenings on mankind..
Religion is one of the craziest inventions of humans. No matter how educated and well-traveled you are, you will never be fully rational and logical if you are too religious.

Please is blasphemy punishable by death under our laws or it's strictly under Sharia?

I'm wondering why we have to kill anyone for this. It easily becomes a tool of oppression against perceived enemies by way of wrong accusations.

God can fight His own battles. He is the Alpha and Omega.

This is the useless sharia, this mindless people wanted to import to the South.


Editorialtimes:
The European Parliament has adopted an urgent resolution urging Nigerian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, a Sufi Muslim singer sentenced to death for alleged blasphemy in Kano State. The resolution, passed under RC-B10-0101/2025, also calls for the repeal of blasphemy laws at both federal and state levels, citing violations of human rights and Nigeria’s international obligations.

Sharif-Aminu has been detained since March 2020, when he was convicted by an upper Sharia court in Kano for song lyrics deemed offensive to the Prophet Muhammad. He was initially sentenced to death by hanging in August 2020. Although his conviction was overturned in January 2021, he was ordered to face a retrial. Despite appealing his case to Nigeria’s Supreme Court in November 2022, he remains in prison.

The European Parliament’s resolution also demands the release of three other individuals facing similar blasphemy charges: Abdulazeez Inyass, sentenced to death in Kano in 2016; Abduljabar Nasiru Kabara, sentenced to death in December 2022; and Isma’ila Sani Isah, arrested in Sokoto State in 2021.

On August 30, 2024, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention declared Sharif-Aminu’s imprisonment a violation of multiple articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The UN called for his immediate release and compensation.

The EU resolution criticizes Nigeria’s blasphemy laws, arguing that they contradict the Nigerian Constitution, the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, and international human rights agreements. Nigeria is one of only seven countries worldwide where blasphemy is punishable by death.



Additionally, the EU Parliament emphasized international efforts to abolish the death penalty and urged Nigeria to immediately cease using capital punishment for blasphemy, taking steps toward its full abolition. It also called on the Nigerian government to address impunity surrounding blasphemy accusations by penalizing false allegations and bringing perpetrators of violence to justice, thereby strengthening the rule of law.

The resolution further urges the EU and its member states to raise individual cases, human rights concerns, and blasphemy laws with Nigerian authorities. It instructs the President of the European Parliament to forward the resolution to the Parliament and Government of Nigeria.

In response to the resolution, Kola Alapinni, an international human rights lawyer and U.S. Secretary of State awardee for International Religious Freedom, expressed his satisfaction on X (formerly Twitter).

The resolution highlights growing international pressure on Nigeria to address human rights violations linked to blasphemy laws and the use of the death penalty.

No wonder the west is rejecting the establishment of sharia court in their region. This is barbaric for lashing death sentence on someone that criticises a dead religious leader.

Sharia usefulness


Sharia is good and is needed in SW, SS and SE.

With verdict lyk dix, nobody will dare to insult Mohammed for marrying a 6yr old aisha. No one would dare say Aisha(in heaven now) was unjustly molested and raped.

We need Sharia so that our president will also have a second tenure in office and protect mohammed. Mohammed is too dead to fight for himself, we need to murder anyone that speaks against him.

We need Sharia so that we can cut the hands of those that are stealing bread, but not politicians. Politicians are bigger than mohammed, Sharia is good for the poor cos mohammed used it to hold our sense in submission.

If you don't support Sharia, we will declare fatwa on u and ur family. ahamdulilah.
since when did hypocritical humans start fighting for your god. If indeed he is god, the one you say they blaspheme against, let him fight for himself and let's see. I rest my case. God doesn't need man to fight for him

Why should a murderer be forgiven without punishment? That's for God to do. On earth, a criminal faces justice so peace can reign in the society.

That's the way it should be. There shouldn't be different treatment for others.
