If US decides Nigeria will cease to be one country today,there is nothing you or any body whether politician or business man in this country can do about it. Infact its the easiest thing for them to do if they want though I'm not praying for that but stop the empty guerilla styled bragging.
Don’t mind that clown.. as if they can cough when America speaks..thank God America is not as evil as the Islamist terrorist who want to take over peoples lives and impose Byforce otherwise they can just easily take over Nigeria and do as they wish and NOTHING WILL HAPPEN..

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.

Typical us, always looking for others to save us.
What happened to us fighting our fight? It is easy, one million youths can be determined and ask for past presidents to be tried and persecuted and sent to jail, we wont back down until request granted.
There can be demand such as banning abroad medical trips with serious consequences. See eh, the black man is lazy, fearful and coward. We have failed our selves. So, na white people go come save us by banning politicians? Lol, they can use Aran nations hope u know.

Go on Facebook and write Fk Charlie Kirk.

The next day, go to the US embassy to apply for a visa.
Is that all? I thought you will say you will receive a parcel bomb from the US. I think the US are within their rights to decide who they want to let into their country or not.
Why will you want to go to a place you don't share same values with?

That they do not allow you into their country because you wrote Fk Charlie Kirk means they do not subscribe to speaking ill of the dead or rejoicing over the murder of a person not blasphemy

@ the bolded, so why did Tinubu go to Chatham House during campaign?
Have you seen Macron going to Fela shrine to do campaign?
Sovereign my left scrotum.
When Obama interfered to have GEJ removed, you were probably deaf and dumb then.

Any criticism of FG does not mean that they want Tinupoo removed from power. NO
On the contrary he is supposed to wake up and fix whats wrong asap before sanctions follow..
If you would label such an accusation for just the designation of Nigeria as a country of concern, what then would be left in storage to accuse the 16 coupists?




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

In as much as I don't want USA interference in our politics. But I'm still biased to support this movement by the US government.
The Sharia law needs to be abolished in Nigeria. We shouldn't have 2 constitution as a country.
I seconded your response here. Sharia law must be abolished in Nigeria constitution. Nigeria is never a Muslim nation.

Sharia criminal laws are not allowed in Nigeria's Constitution. Sharia civil laws were allowed. Sharia criminal laws include stoning blasphemous persons, stoning women to death for adultery etc.

But beginning 1999, political and religious leaders in the 12 far north Nigeria states urinated on Nigeria's Constitution through their adoption of unconstitutional sharia criminal justice system.
Boko Haram emerged thereafter and says it's fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.
Boko Haram has since then literally extinguished Christianity in the northeast states of Nigeria.
Sharia civil laws should be abolished too. Nigeria is never an islamic nation

If the issue is that his statement is " Fk Charlie Kirk", it means they consider it blasphemy.

After all, they wouldn't do the same if you said "fk MLK".

Just say you consider white people holy.

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.
Nigeria can only be divided when things are done appropriately. Sharia law should be abolished.

Consult a dictionary before you type further rubbish
Charlie Kirk was neither a religious figure nor was his name held as sacred so how can insulting his memory be viewed as blasphemy?

Christians will have their own Jesus laws in their areas as well as traditionalists, perfect way to break up the country.

It is blasphemy.

As soon as people get triggered by the use of epithets against a religious icon, book, interest, with the consequence being retaliatory action, it is blasphemy.

I know you don't have the gumption to understand it.

Charlie Kirk is a religious Icon.

From Google:

Kirk was influential within the conservative movement, particularly among young Christians. The New York Times said Kirk symbolized hope for the Christian right.

If people consider Adeboye a religious Icon, who cannot be insulted, thus warranting consequential action, it is blasphemous to them.

Stop arguing it.

Charlie Kirk has been elevated so high, you would br committing blasphemy if you cussed him out.

Your obsession with America is your personal trouble, the decay in America is their personal trouble.

My concern remains that "Sharia must end in Nigeria". Nigeria is a secular nation not an Islamic one.
According to historical Lord Lugard who made and gave Nigeria her name and history or you nonentity?
Re: US Lawmaker Proposes Legislation Targeting Sharia And Blasphemy Laws In Nigeria by Onlinetutor7: 3:29pm On Nov 01, 2025
According to me, Sharia has to go and it will.

Nigeria remains a secular country and not an Islamic one.

If an Islamic country is what you people crave then the country must split and that is the plan of the West this time around

Sharia should be banned from all countries in the world. It has done more harm than good everywhere.
