That was a military regime. Go ask Tambuwal and Amaechi how well Jonathan welcomes opposition in a democracy.

Kenai:


The point isn't about his introducing Sharia law, but more about the deep, bigoted mindset he has. A person with Buhari's mindset has no business even hawking carrots on the streets of Abuja, let alone occupying Aso Rock as president of the country.

Oh, and now you bring up the limitations of democratic president and encumberance of the senate when it suits you; but you're also quick to forget that Buhari, no longer having his powers as a dictator, CANNOT act as plaintiff, judge and jury during his "kworopshun" accusations like he did in the past.
To even sign in a new law, it has to pass through the legislative arm and gain approval, and we both know how "Buhari" and "rigid" go and-in-hand.
Now, he lacks the power to make rules however he wishes, so that zero-corruption facade falls flat already.

Now Bauchi adopts Sharia
Another state in northern Nigeria, Bauchi, has adopted
Sharia, or Islamic, law.
The governor, Adamu Muazu, signed the Sharia bill into
law on Tuesday.
Bauchi is the tenth northern Nigerian state either to adopt
Sharia law, or announce its intention to do so, despite
opposition from Christians and human rights groups.
Several of the states maintain that the law will not be
applied to Christians.
Last year, hundreds of people were killed in Kaduna, when
rioting broke out after Christians opposed the introduction
of Islamic law there.

MayorofLagos:


Democratic system of governance is popular in a plural society because its modalities is enshrined in the contract of CHECKS & BALANCES.

Listen to what berem stated clearly about Buhari's regime in uniform....very apt and conclusive.

Buhari in military uniform, a system without checks and balances, installed decrees and rules that were enforced generically unopposed....yet, his ambition and direction to install Sharia were thwarted.

How is he then going to Sharianize Nigeria in a system where checks and balances is the order of the day?


Also, no one is pointing to Ekwueme's role in the Shagari government when the President applied for Nigeria to be a full fledge member of the Organization of Islamic Countries - OIC.
What was Ekwueme, the VP thinking of .....why was he not against that move?

Buhari was the one that stepped in and withdrew that application....offending the Saudis who then bank rolled his overthrow.

I will ask both to check first with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and compare notes with those who held similar positions during his administration (1999-2007).
Deal

Ever heard the word PROGRESS?

HzRF:

Chai thank God We ain't stark illiterates like Northerners
I was wondering Adamu isn't d present gov of Bauchi
The gov with muazu is d gov of Niger State
All this is trash... Itz Bauchi nd last time I checked Bauchi is in North where sharia can be practise
Xo what in essence is this for?
M sure itz not to exonerate buahri
M waiting

Kenai:


Not everyone would agree with you on these highlighted words, and that's what you have to come to terms with.

Buhari may dazzle you with his 'tough' talk, but in truth, that's all he's about. His body language alone has shown he's not the type of person to tolerate criticism and dissenting views.
"I will fight this", "I will destroy that", "I will jail this", "let us lynch them" - Pointless pyrotechnics unbecoming of a man who hopes to lead a country of over 250 different ethnic nations.

Guess what? You don't put an end to corruption by just arresting the so-called devils. You do so by actually working from the inside and recalibrating the system to eliminate loopholes, and that is exactly what Jonathan has done.

The import reforms? Check.
The subsidy scam? He took care of that by ending the subsidies in order to plug that loophole. And what happened? The real criminals benefitting from the system joined the crowd of gullible youth to protest against it.
Jonathan's e-wallet scheme has also put an end to the massive fraud hitherto running wild and free in the agro sector.
Need I list the over 60,000 ghost workers he has eliminated from our federal civil service?

I can list many others, but they all just go to show that Jonathan applies a more scientific approach to the system than just jailing "corrupt" people.
While Buhari might arrest 20 corrupt people, Jonathan's recalibrations eliminate over 50,000 prospective ones.

That's the thing.

mcquin:

If you are agreeing that Jonathan is also a bully, then you have no moral ground to post what you did about General's use of force in a Military regime.

Rawani:
Classic. The PDP has always been a divisive entity which comes up with ridiculous policies, all geared towards perpetually keeping its sticky fingers in the national purse and controlling the masses by pitting them against each other through the spread of baseless propaganda. The fact is that if the irredeemably corrupt Jonathan/PDP discover that signing the sharia bill into law will give him further and unrestricted latitude to loot our treasury, he will be the one to islamise this country, not GMB.

Bauchi, Nov 13, 2004 (This Day/All Africa Global Media via
COMTEX)
As part of its drive to ensure strict compliance with the
Sharia legal system in Bauchi State, the state Sharia
commission has confiscated and destroyed alcoholic
substances worth over N1 million.
Speaking during the exercise monitored by the Hisba Group
(Sharia Enforcement Agency), at Inkil Village at the
weekend, the commissioner in-charge of Sharia
implementation in the commission, Alhaji Alhassan Dikko
commended the state government and the people for
cooperating and supporting the commission in its task of
cleansing the state of unwholesome activities.
Dikko noted that practice of the system was a way of life for
muslims and had come to stay in the state for good, adding
that the exercise was a continuous one.

Obiagelli:

i jus dey greet, btw did you read this thread

Kenai:
I swear, the OP and the people screaming "Jonathanians" are the real dullards.

Being the governor of the state at the time, what else was Mu'azu supposed to do especially after more than 2/3 of the state legislative arm voted in favour of Sharia?
To think that the desperate Buhari extremists were planning to use this as some type of weapon is even laughable.

So, wait, in the OP's mind, she don 'uncover' something, right?

You people are just desperate for real.

Gboliwe:
Except this is a sequel to another thread, its not making sense to me.

What's my business with Muazu and the laws in Bauchi state? If it has no direct influence on me, its not my business. I can't waste my very limited time fighting about the mode of worship of the cherubim and serraphim believers until it is being forced upon me. That's me being very personal and tolerant.

The extremist buhari asked that I should be under this law, that's why I will protest against it.

The day Muazu wakes up and says the country should have a prayer mat as a part of citizenship, that's the day I will unleash my thoughts on that. Until then, I have nothing on Muazu.

This thread is just a complete and unnecessary diversion to allegations and suspicions emanating from Buhari's past utterances on Sharia in relation to national discourse.

Come to think of it, Is Sharia law that bad in itself as a social control mechanism for adherent Muslims who willingly subscribe to it? For me, not at all and I have no objection.

Notwithstanding, I am furious when it becomes not only a political tool but also a weapon for subjugation and witch-hunt on free citizens in a secular society where the constitution is supreme.

Religion is a matter of choice and not compulsion even according to Koran and must only serve as support tool in spiritual matters.

Buhari's call for nationalisation of Sharia was not only a declaration of colonialism and war but also an acceptance that Islam is supreme over other religious faiths hence the outcry and condemnation that persist till date.

We need to remain focus and shun these deceptive threads meant to suppress real contending national issues that need clarifications and answers.
