Sultan Of Sokoto Rejects Gender Equality Bill by Dindondin(op): 6:07pm On Dec 28, 2016
Speaking at a Koranic recitation ceremony in northern
Zamfara state, the sultan said: "Our religion is our total
way of life. Therefore, we will not accept any move to
change what Allah permitted us to do."
He added: "Islam is a peaceful religion; we have been
living peacefully with Christians and followers of other
religions in this country. Therefore, we should be
allowed to perform our religion effectively."
In October, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)
said it did not find anything wrong with the bill because
in "Christianity inheritance is shared equally between
male and female".
Lawmakers say they will consider public opinion before
a decision is taken on which aspects of the bill to
approve and which aspects to reject.
In March, Nigeria's senate rejected an earlier version of
the bill, saying it was incompatible with Nigerian culture
and religious beliefs.
Human rights activist Bukky Shonibare called the
rejection of the bill in March a sad day for Nigerian
women and said it showed "how backward we are".

Sokoto Islam & the north are not the only ones in Nigeria. Among the Christian majority, equal rights is welcomed. This matter ll go to dialogue publicly
