Una dey always like to make this man trend. He is mentally unstable for crying out loud and doesn't speak for the North in any capacity.

But this time around he is right. If states with 98% Muslim population decide to adopt Shari'a for rulings on social issues such as divorce, marriages, inheritance etc. I don't see how that is a problem.

Mind you, the Shari'a law provision is subordinate to the constitution of Nigeria. Even the highest Shari'a court ranks lower than state high courts. Moreover, A non-Muslim cannot be compelled to submit to a Shari’a court.

So I honestly don't see what all the fuss on Shari'a law is about. According to the Constitution, Nigeria is a secular state (Section 10 prohibits adoption of a state religion).

Not a big fan of Gumi for his controversial clerical and tribal excesses and links to compromised people in security matters but he is absolutely spot on on this one. The report went too far. The shariah law does not persecute christians or support their persecution. So why call for it's abolition? It has existed peacefully for a thousand years in Nigeria before incidents of terrorism which are extremes to the shariah laws, one of the reasons for their being called terrorists anyway. So that line in the report is showing favoritism for christians over Muslims, the same problems that you claim you want to solve. The U.S. had better not create a bigger problem for Nigeria than we already have. Since they predicted Nigeria's disintegration during Obj's tenure and it didn't happen, we stood united and we are rebounding today economically even against the USD, now makes you wonder if they practically want to use their own hands to disintegrate it since their prediction failed?

I trust my president, PBAT. He is already taking the right steps to winning the battle against insecurity where everyone shall feel safe where they are domiciled. We shall overcome before the very eyes of the U.S. but not through this their divisive rhetorics. We shall work with their good advice and discard their ulterior motives. We are a smart people.

Goat talk from a personality best remembered for his goatie.
Shariah under fair circumstances has no reason to go through the law talkless of being used as a state-wide institution. It is a form of mutual submission to a religious justice system. It needs both parties to willingly come under the shariah court and not the parallel forceful type we see weekly in northern Nigeria.
In the bible it is there also. Justice for isrealits and by isrealites. The issue of contention here should be "who is a muslim?" One who says he is or one who the society/his own community says is one?

Also should shariah supercede secular justice system?

No state or local govt laws can supersede the circular justice system of Nigeria.
Nigeria's Constitution was supervised by Muslim northern military dictators. They refused to allow Sharia criminal justice system in the constitution, knowing full well the catastrophe it shall cause if allowed in a Nigeria of plural religious faith.

Sani Yerima introduced sharia criminal justice system in the far north during the administration of Christian president Olusegun Obasanjo. Obasanjo saw that it was unconstitutional but chose to downgrade it as political sharia.

Shortly after, Boko Haram emerged and says it's fighting for a country to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.
One of the earliest demands of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Mohammed, appointed by then President Muhammadu Buhari, was for Islamic sharia criminal justice system be included in Nigeria's Constitution.

At best solution, the 12 sharia states can have Arewa Islamic Republic to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system.

Oh! Can you explain why people businesses are being destroyed in the name of sharia law, Christians living in sharia states can not take alcohol in the name of what please? Many people that were arrested in hotel by the hisbal were for what reason. Mr man stop defending nonsense.

Gunmi is right. The opponents of shariah law are doing everything possible to import their satanic lifestyle into Muslims dominated Nigeria.

Jungle justice from a mob action did. Not a sentence from a sharia court. Jungle justice is a common problem in Nigeria irrespective of faith or location.

Deborah was lynched by mob. In fact it was her own class mates that leaked the voice note she posted on their class Whatsapp group. It had nothing to do with Shari'a court. No Shari'a court in Nigeria can sentence a non Muslim for blasphemy.

Razzness:
No Shari'a court in Nigeria has ever beheaded or stoned anyone to death. Moreover, criminal cases like rape and murder are not tried in Shari'a courts, they go straight to a state or federal high court.

Flexyup:
Nice observation. But i disagree somewhere. Non-muslims cannot be compelled to submit to a sharia court/law but it is practically happening on our streets. People are been lynched and burnt alive as a result of sharia. Pls i am in support of this particular US interest on nigeria. Because e be like say the matter pass our country to resolve for decades now. God go run am for us.

Dbegining:
That's the thing Killing for blasphemy is sanctioned under Shari'a law!!

Stop trying to deceive people.

Razzness:
No Shari'a court has ever sentenced anyone to death. The constitution does not give them the power to do so. All criminal cases go straight to federal or state high courts. Go and study the constitution.

You said people are being "lynched" in the street. Even before Shari'a law, people have been lynching each other, not just in the North. I grew up in warri and I can't count the number of times I have seen people lynched to death on accusations of things like witchcraft or theft.

Of course the US is very much welcome to help Nigeria fight terrorism. It is clear that we can't defeat these terrorists on our own and we can't continue living like this.
