Blasphemy laws in particular must go.

Several non-Muslims have been locked up for years under such obnoxious laws which are unconstitutional, barbaric and repugnant.

This is not true.
Goodluck Jonathan assembled the best economic team in the history of Nigeria.
Tinubu's team is good.
Jonathan assembled a residue of OBJ's cabinet. Go and check intellectual and academic capacities of OBJ's team.

Tinubu will not achieve anything much because he is extremely corrupt, and does not understand sacrifice.

Why implementing al these useless legislations? They are all a waste of time. The easiest way to solve this problem is to divide the country and have Biafrans form their own country, and case closes. Those who like sharia and blaphemy laws should be allowed to practice it in their own country since it's their way of life.

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.
I support the law and it should be targeted against the northern elites and not the ordinary northerners on the street struggling to survive.

That's not what's being discussed at the moment.

We're talking about Sharia law here.

You guys are the enemies of Nigeria.

I'm happy you guys days are numbered.
Whose day is numbered?

You say blasphemy cannot be cautioned.

Low IQ people who hate themselves, love anything a white man tells them, cannot see how
Hypocritical this is.

I have no problem either way, but you must stand ten toes down.

Yoi don't believe anything is blasphemous, fine, neither can anyone's opinion on your lord and master Charlie Kirk.

It's better if USA can back the segregation of this forced union called Nigeria,
How can the northern governors be implementing sharia in a secular state of Nigeria.
Buhari administered a nonsense govt for 8 years and northern military didn't consider coup but president from southern part is there for 2 years, they were planning coup
When you talk about separation be specific please. It is not between North and South. Yoruba land is always in harmony with the North. So separation should be between the North with Yorubas and the major South.

I am not against Trump as a person, I only go against some of his policy like in Iran, palestine but I welcome this one.

OfoIgbo:
uy don turn to Trump supporter grin grin grin grin

Your man Tinubu is being served heavily.

You have Igbos to thank for that. Thank God the head of CAN is an Igbo man. He spoke the truth, and his words are the official stance of Nigerian Christians.

I know you are now supporting Trump hoping no one comes after you, after all the years you spent defending terrorists who call themselves Nigerian presidents.

It must be a very painful period for you, now that Trump has practically proverbially put a target on Tinubu's back. Enjoy the horror cool cool

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.

Why the sudden focus on Nigeria undecided
they are trying to distract from something, there country is in a lot of decay and controversies, war looming over them, they are the most indebted nation in the world (and in history) yet they are still borrowing to give to other countries.

Shouldn't their priority be their own country.

Same thing they did with S'Africa, now the white south Africans have been left in limbo because all they were was just a mean to distract American citizens from the rot happening in their own country.

Nigerians don't fall for this, they will come in and devid us further, you think they care about Christians, Israel is busy killing (the original) Christians form Jusus own home town, Israel is killing and pushing them out of those villages with plan to turn the place to real estates.

Why isn't America congress fighting for this Christians??

Perpetrators of blasphemy mob action are yet to be brought to book! An innocent lady was burnt alive in the name of blasphemy, and the FG hasn't done anything to ring the killers to book. Is the FG supporting this type of religion-induced murder?

Obama was not neutral if you don't know. He was behind Buhari and berthed a war ship in readiness to take advantage should Jonathan resist. The election itself was rigged but Jonathan being a human does not want blood shed because of power. That is why I see him as a saint despite obvious shortcomings.
You people love writing trash. Buhari beat Jonathan blue-black in that election. Sorry, you are used to using the power of incumbency to predict the outcome of elections.

Northern Nigeria has been poorly trained and controlled by Nigeria. We have pampered them and their backward tendencies.
America will correct them by force.

Lol. The trash is on you. You wanted to hide under cover to hise your obvious disappointment that US that once enthroned Muslim govt in nigeria is against the same Muslim for killing Christians. You are the same people Buhari supporter, tinubu supporter. Supporters of Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Small time you would tell me how tinubu beat PO blue black. Deluded individuals.

These people are ready to tear down Nigeria with religion. Saudi Arabia has sharia and Qatar that gave trump a private jet practiced sharia. It's time we call their bluff. With all these gragra ordinary Burkina and Mali has been giving them wotowoto and they can't do any shit. Imagine if the president is a Christian.
Re: US Lawmaker Proposes Legislation Targeting Sharia And Blasphemy Laws In Nigeria by cjfavour(m):
This is complete rubbish. Tinubu does not have any good policy or schemes. Taxing the hell out of the people and stopping subsidy payment is not a good policy. He’s saving subsidy money and is still borrowing heavily while the rubber stamp National Assembly approves every rubbish he brings to them. Is that what you call good policy? Selecting certificate forgers and evil men is what you said is better than GEJ’s men like okonjo and co? Even a known bigot like onanuga is a technocrat to you too? Smooth liar in chief Reno and always hungry FFK who are known political hustlers that cares only about their stomach are technocrats? Bwala too? Guy rest joor!!! The worst of us is what’s in the helm of affairs of the country now. That’s why things are not getting better despite their lies and propaganda. A country ruled by cultists, certificate forgers, drug barons, bigots, known looters and kleptomaniacs will never be better. Check the list of those pardoned by the president and you’ll understand where the country is heading to.
Basicend:
The issue with Tinubu is greed and heartlessness.

He has quite good policies and schemes. He sorround himself with a team of skilled and good technocrats. Cardoso. . Edun etc, those guys have gradually achieve good level of trust and stability in the system.

He has far better economic policies and cabinet team than GEJ and Buhari.

However, Tinubu is extremely wicked to his people. Continuously attempting to tax already over-impoverished citizens to death without cushioning inflational tendencies.

The most annoying part is that he keeps appropriating the people's monies carelessly, very corruptly and just within a selected few cohorts.

What is use of a president if many of his people are not even sure of affording a food to eat, not to talk of shelter?

The president must be accountable.
Re: US Lawmaker Proposes Legislation Targeting Sharia And Blasphemy Laws In Nigeria by Onlinetutor7: 11:28am On Nov 01, 2025
Sharia law must come to an end. Since you Muslims have decided to neglect the voice of Christians in Nigeria, Let external bodies get involved
Exousiang01:
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
