Hisbah no dey reach Sabongari.
Sabongari anywhere you hear it in any Northern state is the Sodom and Gomorrah of that State.
In Kano, at all places they don't sell even cigarettes, sachet alcohol or pork or prostitutes but if you want to commit sin - Northerners inclusive, just go to any Sabongari.
Na Dem dey chop pork, drink beer pass Christians, if you doubt it go to that same Sabongari during fasting month as see how everywhere dey like desert.


BlackViper:
I have so many questions after reading this article. For example, what do the two quoted statements below actually mean?





I've also heard that the Hisbah who enforce Sharia law typically target bars and restaurants in these areas of Kano for selling alcohol, but rather curiously they have a habit of leaving these dan daudus alone. How true is this?

…and somehow they’ll look at men from other regions as infidels. Islam tolerates such as well as our indigenous culture. Noise regarding attacks on gays started in 2015 — all for political benefit. Since Jonathan left office, attack a homosexual, let he/she report you. What the police will do with you will remain between you and God.
You are totally wrong, homosexuality is forbidden in Islam, and there is a prescribed punishment for it.
It's thriving in the North doesn't mean Islam allowed it, North's behavior should not the yardstick to judge Islam.
If hisbah didn't arrest them,then they are doing selective justice, and there is not a selective justice in Islam.

There was a rumor that Atiku is also into this and gets many benefits from this practice
Same people claimed Buhari was dead and that a clone called Jubrin from Sudan was the one ruling Nigeria at the time when Buhari was in the presidency


Same people claimed Tinubu is from Guinea, Osun and Benin Republic

Same people claimed Atiku is from Cameroon.

These people who spread such malicious lies will never create such lies about their own people like Peter Obi, Nnamdi Kanu, Alex Otti etc

Hadith

"وَعَنْ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا; أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ: { مَنْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ, فَاقْتُلُوا اَلْفَاعِلَ وَالْمَفْعُولَ بِهِ, وَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ وَقَعَ عَلَى بَهِيمَةٍ, فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَاقْتُلُوا اَلْبَهِيمَةَ } ".‏ رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْأَرْبَعَةُ, [1]‏ وَرِجَالُهُ مُوَثَّقُونَ, إِلَّا أَنَّ فِيهِ اِخْتِلَافًا [2]‏ .‏"

Ibn 'Abbas (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever you find doing as the people of Lot did (i.e. homosexuality), kill the one who does it and the one to whom it is done, and if you find anyone having sexual intercourse with animal, kill him and kill the animal." Related by Ahmad and the four Imams with a trustworthy chain of narrators.

Nonsense! Anyone who lived in the Northern Nigeria in the 70s - 90s knew of the Dan Daudas. They were not hidden and were known to be connected to politicians. The culture continues today by the way, only now, there seems to be more glamour attached as we have with BobRisky and others like him. 🥱

The children of Nairaland live their lives online; reacting to write-ups daily while forgetting that a real world exists. As such, they are ignorant of things which take place in their environment talk less of outside their state. I go always fold arms look them.

Skullminers1:
You are right, people think that the homosexual law Goodluck Jonathan enected which is 14 years imprisonment is still in effect and if you think it's still in effect let police catch you for assaulting setting-up gays you will even be the one that will end up in jail you thought that was made for gays hahaha

So why is the same prevalent in the Middle East? There, it is not performed by choice — commonly by force.

Hisbah doesn’t sleep when it comes to alcohol consumption. Somehow they ignore this despite knowing areas where it’s commonplace and the times when it occurs. Tell me another thing, abeg.

nairalanda1:
Okay, let's start with the history of Nigeria and the gays

The first time the gay thing entered Nigerian discourse was the 1998 Lambeth conference of the Anglican church where there were issues between developed and developing countries over gay issues. It got worse in 2003, when a gay bishop was chosen in the American anglican church...and then Obama travelled to Africa in 2012 and was lecturing the Senegal president in 2012 about gay rights..and the Senegal president told him no.

It got more intense, as most African coutnries began passing laws against gay rights from 2013-14. The GEJ government even passed a law which was voted for unaminously in the National Assembly...against Gay marriage

(Modifed..about the above law, there were moves to prevent it from being passed. QUiet moves, until one gay rights activist from the UK..very prominent, landed and began shouting up and down that Nigeria was a bad nation for hating gays. That scattered the quiet moves...)

Gay things did not play much of a role in 2015. Though both sides accused the other of being pro-gay.

As for dandauras...that it happens does not mean it is tolerated or wanted. They operate at night, not in the day.

That some Muslims involve themselves in the despicable act does not translate to the fact that Islam supports it.

They refer to themselves as the core Muslims. To them, anything blacks perform is mere mockery to the prophet.

You can’t be more Muslim than the religion’s originators. They see nothing wrong with the act. Deal with the fact.

The dancing boys of Iraq and Afghanistan prove otherwise. There are stories of the tradition being the same in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries.

So, how about
Musnad Ahmad (Hadith 3579, 4030 and similar chains), also recorded by al-Bayhaqi in Dala'il al-Nubuwwa, among others. The narrator is Abdullah ibn Mas'ud.
عَبْدَ اللهِ قَالَ:
اسْتَتْبَعَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ مَكَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَخَطَّ لِي خِطَّةً، فَقَالَ لِي: «كُنْ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ هَذِهِ، لَا تَخْرُجْ مِنْهَا؛ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ هَلَكْتَ». قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ فِيهَا، قَالَ: فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَذَفَةً أَوْ أَبْعَدَ شَيْئًا أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ ذَكَرَ هَنِينًا كَأَنَّهُمْ الزُّطُّ ... طِوَالًا قَلِيلٌ لَحْمُهُمْ، قَالَ: فَأَتَوْا فَجَعَلُوا يَرْكَبُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، وَجَعَلَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِمْ ...
فَلَمَّا انْشَقَّ عَمُودُ الصُّبْحِ جَعَلُوا يَذْهَبُونَ ... ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَ ثَقِيلًا وَجِعًا أَوْ يَكَادُ أَنْ يَكُونَ وَجِعًا مِمَّا رَكِبُوهُ، قَالَ: «إِنِّي لَأَجِدُنِي ثَقِيلًا» ...

Islam is free of their injustice.

Islam prescribes a very harsh punishment for whoever is caught in the act.
Read:

1. Sahih al-Bukhari 5192: This hadith details the incident of the Mukhannathun (effeminate or transgender men) who were living in the women's quarters in Medina.

2. Sucking the Tongue of a boy: This narration is attributed to the Prophet’s uncle, Abdullah ibn Abbas, who reportedly recounted seeing the Prophet "sucking on the tongue" of his grandson Al-Hasan. It is famously documented by early scholars such as Al-Tabarani, Al-Haithami, and Imam Al-Dhahabi.

3. Kissing the Belly/Genitals of a boy: Various narrations detail the Prophet's intense affection for his young grandsons. One notable, authentic-graded chain of narration mentions the Prophet uncovering Al-Hasan's legs and kissing his private area (often translated as zabibah). This tradition is recorded in Tarikh al-Islam by Imam Al-Dhahabi and in Al-Bidaya wa'l-Nihaya by the historian Ibn Kathir.

In 1988, a bottle of coke was 50k, and a bottle of Maltina was N1.

Note: These were in breakable bottles.

I think a breakable bottle of coke is N300 today.

So, N5 was 10 bottles or N3,000 in todays.

A better yardstick might be chicken.

A quarter roasted chicken at the fastfood, "Chicken George," was N6:50 December 1988.

At Chicken Republic today, it costs around 4,500.
