Who gave the Sultan such power?

Islam specifically states that when the Moon for the month of Ramadan is sighted, fasting may begin, if it’s not sighted, the preceding month, which is Shaban should be counted until 30 and Ramadan should start of the next day.

The Sultan is only being honored to follow his orders because he is thought as the leader of Muslims in Nigeria by one council.

I still remember many years ago when fasting would commence in the North and down south will not fast until the next day, this usually resulted in 2 days Eid prayer.

The Rabitah has passed their own date, everyone should follow any date that pleases him.

Where is MURIC on this issue?

BTW, The way some Y0rubas are misbehaving over this Sultan matter is annoying.😕

Bcus Tinibu is in Aso Rock, they have forgotten themselves and do not want to respect their Masters.😏

They do NOT know that Okro can not be Bigger than it's owner. sad

Even your Imam has stated it but you are here foaming in the mouth. Even your tin-god Tinubu as a Muslim will have to wait on the Sultan's announcement so you can keep moaning all day and it won't change a thing.

You dummy...the Sultan is the head of the Nigeria Supreme council of Islamic Affairs which is the umbrella body of Muslims in Nigeria, as agreed and accepted by your fathers so you see what a small fry like you thinks or feels about the Sultan is irrelevant.
Your pea-size brain has already concluded that i am Hausa/Fulani grin grin grin... you lot are not bright at all, bigotry is all you have in your thick skull and nothing else.

Re: Only Sultan Of Sokoto Can Declare Ramadan - Chief Imam Of Lagos by AmiableMosquito: 1:25pm On Feb 16, 2025
Someone swore on the last thread that some Yoruba muslims will come back and debunk the announcement by the league of southwest imams.

He was so confident and now I know why.....


Looking at the comments on twitter alone and I realise that Stockholm Syndrome is not a myth, it's real.

I am nauseated by this slave-master mentality of some of my tribesmen. Tufiakwa!!!!!

The seat of the President General and the 1st Vice President of NSCIA are permanent zones to Sultan and Shehu respectively. The 2nd VP position is thrown open and can be rotated. LMAO
Re: Only Sultan Of Sokoto Can Declare Ramadan - Chief Imam Of Lagos by aswani(m): 1:52pm On Feb 16, 2025
This is not news, even the Sultan has to wait for the one in Saudi to say they have seen the sun before relaying it.

Yoruba people. Know your enemies from within. And start making a list.

If they win in this one, you'd be too weak and hopeless to fight that evil Sharia.

Just as Nigerians got so weak and depressed when Tinubu was announced as winner.

Nuff said.

Have you not been following his(Sultan) directive before now? Why is it now that you want to question his directive? because Tpain is the president?

When did you guys realise that Sultan is not the leader of all Muslims? Is this because of tinubu presidency?
Re: Only Sultan Of Sokoto Can Declare Ramadan - Chief Imam Of Lagos by lamentor78(m): 2:39pm On Feb 16, 2025
I don't have problems with Sultan , but why will a particular tribe be head of all Muslims in the country for life , can't it be rotational , if Sultan dies tomorrow and another almajiri become sultan that means he will also be the leader of all Muslims.

I don't know why our former ethnic leaders just take nonsense from these northerners.

Can't an Igbo Muslim or Kogi Muslim be a leader or even Ilorin Muslim why must it be a Fulani .......are all of you brain suffering from stroke

I think you should have gone further to ask that
1. WHY IS IT THAT IT’S ONLY ONE FAMILY THAT IS RULING ENGLAND?
2. WHY WAS LADY DIANA KILLED BECAUSE THEY HATE HAVING ANOTHER RACE IN THEIR FAMILY?
3. WHY DID THEY REJECT MEGHAN MARKLE AS DAUGHTER -IN-LAW BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT BLACK RACE IN THEIR FAMILY?
I don’t understand why you like to use panadol for another person’s headache? If Nigeria’s Muslims accept the Sultan as their spiritual head, the same way the Yorubas accept the Ooni of Ife as their head, so be it.

LOL.

That a few people from the South west agreed to be servitude to a group that was formed by Northern Muslims doesn’t mean your so called Sultan has the right to be called leader of all Muslims in Nigeria.

It clearly states in what you screenshot that the council was formed by Northern Muslims.

Islam came to the Southwest not through the North but from Mali. That is why Islam as it is practiced in the South West differs greatly from how it is done in the North.

Sultan of Sokoto to me is just a traditional ruler that can be likened to Alaafin of Oyo.

In religious terms, scholars are to be taken more importantly and seriously to your so called Sultan.
