I have said it here long time ago, if we really need a good change in Nigeria, let we the masses just beg the USA, UK, CANADA, FRANCE and Germany never to allow Nigeria politicians and their children in their country again believe me within 2 years we will have good roads, good hospitals and schools. When they know there's no where they can keep their wives and children again, they will fix everything in Nigeria. I am very happy about the US pressing their neck concerning the killings of Non-Muslims and Christians that the FG has failed to address for a very long time now. The US should please arm the Christians in Kaduna, Benue, and Plateau maybe by doing so the Nigeria government will know they need to create a special colony for herdsmen instead of giving them AK47 to kill farmers and destroyed peoples farmland. As for the Shariah law, any Muslim with basic Islamic knowledge will know that no country on earth in practising Shariah law fairly. The elites are just using it against their followers. In a good Shariah law settings, its the followers that will be enjoying so much why the head/leaders will be serving them. In Shariah law, when someone is caught for stealing, you set up a committee and look for 2/3 witnesses that was there when the suspected person steals. Now, the 2/3 witness will be presented for the entire community ans ask the community if any of the witnesses have caught telling lies before.... If one of the witness is confirmed to have tell lies before then he cannot witness against the suspect. Now, supposing the witnesses are all upright, they will still ask the suspect why did he steals, after that, the qodi/judge will order that a job must be provided for him so when he's working he wouldn't go back to stealing. Shariah is so sweet but the elites twisted in their favour and use it as a tools against the masses. The messenger of Allah PBUH, will never eat as a leader except every of his followers and their families have eaten. This is what leadership means. 233 Likes 5 Shares |

I don’t even know why some sections of this country should be practicing a different law in the same country … This madness can only happen in Nigeria… If they are not comfortable with the laws of the land, they then should secceed and have their country where they can practice their sharia law in peace.. Funny enough Yoruba Muslim also want sharia law…. Is fine … Let’s disintegrate then 99 Likes 1 Share

Hehehe! Nice development! Imagine HISBAH, ISIS, BH terrorists, Islamic sects operating sharia laws in northern Nigeria @will. A law that has not even helped Zamfara state that introduced it. But tells us that orthodox laws are haram? Perhaps they can go face their own country because these obnoxious laws can peacefully cohabits with the criminal justice system in a sovereign entity or nation. 57 Likes 4 Shares |

Sharia and Blasphemy laws are barbaric and must be abolished. BTW, Tinubu and his supporters are also not in support of Christian genocide in Nigeria caused by their incompetence. Yes, according to Mr. President, any government who fails to protect the lives of its citizens is incompetent. In other words, Tinubu strongly agrees that he is incompetent. 29 Likes

I really hope the Nigerian government takes these insecurity issues seriously this time. If not handled properly, it could further damage investors’ confidence and make things even harder for ordinary Nigerians who are already struggling. 3 Likes |

This is the persecution, how can a circular country have religious laws in some parts, that means Christians can not relax and drink there, or live freely. Blasphemy laws led the mob to kill Deborah and others, till now none of those killers are in jail. We will only live by the constitution of the federal republic and state laws passed by parliament not religious laws dictated by clerics, we don't have the same beliefs, your religion is your business, it should be personal, having religious laws is oppression. Sharia law in Nigeria will cause a serious conflict, so you mean as a Nigerian christian or non muslim citizen, I can't live freely in the north, but northerners will come here, to the south and do anyhow they like, this is persecution and oppression. We don't care about your religion it's your business, we care about our rights and freedoms. How will Nigeria be if Christians, traditionalists, eckanker, Jehovah witness, and all other religions start having their own religious laws in areas they hold sway...this is a recipe to chaos. 35 Likes 2 Shares |

fergie001:Sharia is inhumane. In fact Sharia is equivalent to lawlessness. How can a court kill a person for offence committed against Mohammed? This is evil in all ramifications. Every act that is not harmful to human but perceived as a sin to Mohammed should be preserved for Mohammed to handle it. No Christian kills anybody for any offence to Jesus Christ. He is capable of handling them all. But He always chose forgiveness, love most deep. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Hahahaha I understand that this is all in a fight to get president Bola Tinubu out of power as he doesn't give a damn about the US and he has said so on several occasions. My question to them is how is what ever law you want to make over there affect a sovereign nation. The US need to understand that it's not Goodluck Ebele or Peter in power. Nigeria will not change its system before one funny hair guy in the US feels the Nigerian president should kiss his ass. NOTE: I am a strongly against Sharia law, but if we want to change it we would change it because we "Nigeria" wants to no because some law maker who doesn't understand the diversity on Nigeria sits in Washington DC office watches a video and decides to change the laws in Nigeria..... Unfortunately we would have Nigerians clapping for the US wanting to tell and independent nation what laws they should follow. Those same people will still complain about other Nations disrespecting them 4 Likes 4 Shares |
