Eriokanmi:
These people are becoming liberated graduating. More of it

Some of our people down south shunned the sultan some years back as well and they began moon-citing by themselves. Before, if the sultan had not cited the moon, even if southern Muslims had cited it first, fasting won't start. The sultan isn't God. He will die like his ancestors did, when the time comes. Know your God personally. Only Him is eternal.
before 1914 or 1960 who sited the moon?

The imam is wrong with that.
Where's evidence for it.

Everybody will not agree with you.
Happy Salah .
Mubarak Eid Fitr.🌙🕌
One Nigeria doesn't mean everyone will be under the authority of the Sultan of sokoto. We are not his subjects and Fulanis are not our colonial master.

Skullminers1:
If it's Yoruba Muslims they dare not site their own moon without following their master Sultan of Sokoto own but here is same Fulani Sheikh from same Sokoto disregarding Sultan of Sokoto own moon siting
You speak out of ignorance, bitterness and 8 towards the Yorubas. I'm not a Muslim. But one thing I know about yoruba Muslims and Southern Muslims as a whole is that they have never taken directives from the Sultan of sokoto. Never! If the Sultan sites his moon today, the Yoruba musiim leaders would site their own a day before or a day after. This had always been deliberate so as to make a statement to the Fulanis that they can't be controlled.

Can you see what religion does to people angry
So people in Lagos will wait for someone in faraway sokoto to give directive while the person in his domain will rather align with the directive from a neighboring country

Then why is the Sultan of Sokoto considered the spiritual leader of Nigeria's Muslims and the leader of the Qadiriyya Sufi order, which is the most prominent Muslim position in the Nigeria.
This is gazetted on records.

Scientifically Nigeria and Niger lie on the same equatorial line so the cleric is correct
The Nigerian boundary is artificial. We lie in the same time zone with Niger so any moon sighted in Niger is valid for Nigeria. There's only one moon not two or three

THE IRANIAN MISSILES COVER THE MOON, THAT IS WHY SAUDI DID NOT ANNOUNCE THE DATE OF SALLAH😀 MAYBE THE MOON WILL APPEAR IN YEAR 2050😀

actually not true same longitude and different latitudes will definitely make the sighting of new moon different, also there are scientific ways, satellites that can determine when the moon will be sigthed in a 10meters square any where on earth.. This religious leaders are just doing all this to stay relevant.. The date of eid is written on Islamic calendar already any other announcements is just peageantry.. Just like call for prayers and church bells.. It should be obsolete doing that.. Now that there is clocks and watched what's the use of a maranet in a mosque or something shouting call to prayers.. It's primitive.

That is what the Fulanis are projecting and wanting you to believe because their MO is to dominate using the religious angle and then the political angle follows. But in reality, it's not true. There is a combination of subtle and blatant moves by the Sultan with the help of his minions to impose himself on the South. However, he's been met with stiff resistance from Muslim clerics and Muslims of Southern extract. The only ones putting their support behind him are Fulani clerics who were born and bred in the South. They know their MO and are not ready to relinquish an inch of their ancestral heritage even though they're Muslims.

You are very correct.
The agenda of the Fulanis cut across Religion, Politics and Tribe.

Wishing you a Happy Sallah Holidays

Don't you understand English or is it Geography you're confused with
Nigeria and Niger fall within the same equatorial line. In fact, Niger even has a wider latitude and longitude than Nigeria's but the both have same line passing through them. This in effect means we're in the same time zone and since we both lie in the sub saharan tropical region, we have almost equal chance of seeing the moon same time. So a moon sighted in Niger is very valid for Nigeria.

So majek fashek saw people's hearts?
For me religion is not politics. It my salvation.

If religion is really politics why did you all heatbthe polity for a Muslim-muslim ticket?

Whybare you all still bereaved over El-Rufai's muslim vice?

Please keep that false claim for those who can't decipher.
Men made religion as a medium to the divine on the surface, but underneath, it's all politics, about power and control.

Apparently, you are confused ones.

In ome breath you're saying he's liberated because he went against the Sultan. In another breath you're saying he did it because of hunger.

Just shows your claims are far from sincerity and objectivity.
na English u still dey speak..
