So much takeaway from the erudite Mallam

FriendNG:
Nice Write Up. Oya pro Sunusi come and attack him without reading the article.

Interesting interview. I was actually prepared to disagree with everything he said but found myself agreeing with a lot. Really interesting since I consider myself rather liberal. I found him quite erudite and enlightened ( if you can ignore his imaginary big daddy in the sky).

He made some important points. Government should have no business regulating religious activity. It's clearly against the constitution and gives politicians excessive powers (which they would ultimately abuse).

I equally share his misgivings regarding government interference in marriage. Marriage should be a contract between individuals. Since the public (either in general or as third parties) don't suffer possible jeopardy resulting from mariage between individuals, its's hard to justify government intervention in marriage. His stand on early marriage is not that clear. However, we must wonder if very young people are competent to enter or give their consent to the marriage contract.

He made another point about Emirship. Apart from my instinctive distaste for kings, he's right in his observation that the position is largely outdated and serves very little purpose( I was shocked to learn that these pretenders are entitled to 3% of local government statutory allocation SMH).

It's quite interesting that I share a lot of the same views with him (albeit from very different perspectives).

Back to the spectator seats.

Actually, the Sheikh was quite vocal even then of his support for GEJ. He even complained then about threats against his person due to his perceived lack of support for our current Presidiot.

Thank God say you take your time to read. But lalasticlala refused to read line by line.

How do we separate corruption of cultural practices from Islam without compromising Islam?

How do you explain that if you go to the Emir of Kano’s palace, you are expected to bow down.[b] If you go to the (American) White House, will you bow down to Mr Donald Trump who has nuclear weapons in his hands? If you go to Kano now, the common man is expected to bow down to the Emir. Is that not a humiliation of human beings? What are they taking about? Our religion is against bowing down to human beings. You only bow down to God. They are misinterpreting the religion and putting blames wrongly on the religion.


If you want to modernise Nigeria, let’s phase out traditional rulers, Emirs and all of that. We will have a more robust leadership by election. This is what Islam is saying: affairs is by consultations and by agreements. Nobody imposes himself as an Emir.

Are you saying that the traditional institution is no longer relevant to the present day reality?

It is not relevant to the modern times and it is not even Islamic because, in Islam, there is no inheritance of power. It is the people that decide their leaders. If the institution will change, this nation will change. The traditional institution represents ignorant people who will go and bow down before them.

Very interesting read, and it raised important cultual issues. The most important thing coming out of this is the initiation of the discussion.

I speak for myself and refer to Yoruba culture, as a Brit, who has been exposed to Yoruba culture from a young age, many of us have had the same experiences and we had to reconcile cultural attitudes/practices and adapt anytime we visit.

One thing I absolutely hate is having to prostrate on the ground certain elders/perceived title holders even though I am a blue blood myself. I mean if I will not do that to the Queen of England who is a lot more powerful than all of the Obas collectively, why the hell would I want to go to my ancestral lands to start to roll on the floor when in the UK I'm a boss with multiple English staff working under me?

Why should I have to show humility and submission in order for some individuals to use it as a pretext for exploitation under the guise of adhering to cultural practices?

Does this cultural practice not do Yoruba's a disservice, especially Yoruba youth in the sense that it aids keeping the masses docile and subservient? The bottom line is Yoruba youth have to grow up to compete with other nationalities later on in life.

We have to be honest with ourselves, will a person that is used to a person prostrating and rolling on the ground to them ever really want that individual to eclipse their achievements in life? Moreover, why does the lack of prostating equate to disrespect?

Lastly, these practices have influenced how our people interact with foreigners. There are foreigners that have come to our shores due to the docile attitude of our people and they know fully well that they will never be able to live anywhere in the world and be able to exploit it's people in such a manner.

This is why I set my own standards and I'm really weary of the mind-set of the traditionalists. I am a free man with my head held high, and this is something I intend to pass on to my kids. The bottom line is to question everything, and do not let others exploit you.

The silent revolution has started and it begins with non-compliance with cultural norms.

Many of these people make up these rules on the fly and that is why we are getting warped results. We lack collective intelligence. We ought to be judged by what we have achieved so far, and I know these things are holding us back. That's why individuals outside the collective have more chance of highly achieving. Abroad, all individuals have to compete and it's mainly about results. Many of our people have an inferiority complex, especially when dealing with foreigners and they should not be allowed to formulate policy about how we all live or extend their sphere of influence over us.

These are modern day realities and considerations. The youth in this country need to rise up

Tho, this sheikhs has a lot of point, but one important quote or fact from this test is that, no one can change Islamic law or the religion but change the society and the environment for them to practise the law probably. Meaning give them necessary education, eleviate them from poverty for them to b able to practise the seen

Truly if Emir Sanusi Lamido is serious about his criticism of many things about Islam - Hausa or Hausa - Islam, let him set the ball rolling by running non govt organization which will be pursuing solution to the real and perceived problems he always complained of. I mean let him set up scholarship for female students, build schools for female children and sourced teachers of like mind, establishing women empowerment centre and so on.

Stone Age thinking in the 21st century. Serious matter.

Britain is right now researching how to keep premature babies in 'artificial wombs' made from plastic bags in order to reduce mortality of such babies, a successful face transplant was also done recently. Where is Nigeria in all of this as populous as we are? Nowhere. Is that not a huge shame? Yes, some people want to continue in this current state.

Consider the president of the most populous Black nation who has to fly overseas for medical treatment and also sent all his kids to the UK to be educated there. WE ARE TRULY NOT READY TO MOVE FORWARD with such people and this man in the interview being at the head of affairs.

Is Buhari the 1st Nigeria Head of State to fly overseas for health treatment? Secondly, you hasty to forget that most Nigerian leaders since military to democratic failed to set a good templates that the coming generation can build on.... But is a sorry state, where corruption, nepotism, hatred as been the other of the day.

May God bless our land

He is the 1st Nigerian Head of State who campaigned using a ban on medical tourism.

Fine, we all know the rot in the system has been there for ages, but if people do not have the political will or intention to change things, they shouldn't campaign on the platform of change. That is hypocrisy, and it stinks.

okay.

Spot on!

Islam Islamic entangled herself into many trouble, that's why peace was so expensive within the concept...

Government and religion should find a common ground to work on the issues. No girl should be married before puberty, school should be built, the poor men should try to curtail the way they marry and have sex cos they are the ones bringing much issues. Well, I was impressed with the write up, I am happy I read, but I am shocked that he hasnt found out that God is actually what we are as humans, as ETs etc, but they worship entirely a fellow Entity in a different constellation because they created us ? No, you can respect them, not worship them. Our robots that we create, the dogs we cross-breed not not worship us, so I enjoy everything he wrote except the part that God sent diseases, no, our dirty environs, our hygienes, and sometimes biologically engineered bio-chips are pathogens just created and tested in some countries by Pharmaceutical giants so governments can budget and spending money on vaccination so they can make billions. Nigeria is a perfect ground for such testing since we are ignorant lots.

Imagine what supposedly educated nairaland Muslims are saying? No matter how intelligent these Muslims are, following Islam tends to make them produce ideas that are ridiculous sounding to every other person. Islam has effected Northerners negatively.

Wow! Dr. Gumi made great points.

The OP be running around the internet, looking for news attacking Sanusi, like a rat looking for fish..

ephi123:


I read the whole interview carefully and only highlighted what stood out to me.

For example he talks about the high number of widows, whilst also saying in order to prevent prostitution girls can be married off once they start menstruation.

It is inevitable that if you are marrying off girls in the age bracket 13-18 to men in their 40s and 50s, there is no way widows won't increase because those men will die in their 70s and 80s leaving women still in their 30s / 40s to become young widows. Like many other issues in the North, it is a self-created problem.

If the young girls in their teenage years are married off to guys in similar age bracket, the number of widows will be greatly reduced. But they are not, rather they are married to much older men. Sanusi who can't be less than 50 married an 18 year old not too long ago. Same with Buhari/Aisha.

It's a very unfortunate situation that this has become a cultural norm.

Girls of 13-18 married to men of 18 above not 40-50 like you said. And you talkd about some rich northerners marry young girls. whats the problem in that if the girl agrees? Scientifically a man of 80 can be sexually active. And dont you know that statistically the number of women is twice the number of men in the world? And you talked of men die in 70s so their wifes become widows. Dont you know there are men who marry widows of 30s or above?? Dont the women die?

If not for your ignourance so u meant that your Oba's and chiefs dont marry young girls in the south.
Or do u want to say that there are no prostitutes in the south??

Nice one there sheikh, haters pls think before you comment.

All I see is a man prevaricating to attack Sanusi's position and at the same
time he tried to blame poverty on the "culture of bowing down", how are the
two correlated ?
At the end he still couldn't hide his real position which is that Islamic
law must be enforced even if it is destroying the society.

I understand why you are being defensive however my comment was not meant to be a personal attack, I was simply stating my observation from the interview.

As of 2014, the world ratio of men to women is estimated to be 1.014:1. In 2010, the world's male population was 3,477,829,638, while the female population was 3,418,059,380

Simple and short.

One demented goat is talking about ongoing researches in advanced countries as response to the Sheikh when they themselves still practise pre-mediaval cultures of burning some innocent old women in the name of witchcraft.

I still find it difficult to understand how people believe all those fairy tales of human beings changing to cats, dogs, birds etc or vice versa.

Smh.

The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, recently, said he would introduce laws in the state assembly that would bar people who are incapable of sustaining two wives from doing so. From the Islamic perspective, what do you think?


I have been following some pronouncements by the Emir of Kano of recent that border on Islamic religion and culture. What I will say is that Islamic position on issues is well entrenched in Islamic literature. This book here, The Message, is more than one thousand years old. In it, every subject on Islamic law is discussed. I want the Emir and others to put their minds at rest. Nobody can interpret or change Islamic law. What we need to change is the environment so that people find it conducive.


Early marriage here is not Islamic position but a Hausa cultural issue. Turks are Muslims but they do not give out their children at the age of fourteen. Arabs are Muslims but you don’t find them giving out their women at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Yemenis do it but it is not because of religion. It is because of culture, the Yemeni culture. Few people in Egypt do it but it is not because of religion. It is cultural.

Religion cures maladies in the society and that is why laws in religion are very wide. Prayer time in Islam is wide to give room to travellers and sick people. There is flexibility in religion. It is not an iron jacket. When it comes to marriage, religion is very flexible. What the Qur’an mentions is that there is specific age for marriage.

It says that when orphans reach the age of marriage, give them their wealth back because when they are mentally and physically mature they can take care of their wives and their wealth. The question of marrying off a girl at six or seven years does not even arise. All these that were narrated in the Hadith by one authority are not authentic. There is difference between authenticity and reality. As a journalist, when you write a story, you find a tinge of your background in the reporting.

Somebody can misconstrue or even misunderstand an issue because of his background. That is the issue with all narration. Out of all the books on religion, why the Qur’an is different is because it is committed to memory. It is like the Psalms of David. If you read them in Amharic, they sound like the Qur’an. If you allow people to narrate or give account of an issue, the background will influence it. There is a collection of Hadith that was narrated on the Prophet. That personal influence also entered, so scholars have to filter the narration to remove the chaff from the grain. The narrators of Hadith are like journalists and we need an editor that will filter the narrative. In filtering, there is a factor of time that also affects them. They may filter something but they may not get it right.

For instance, the Qur’an tells us that if somebody dies, his wife should mourn him for four months ten days before thinking of getting married. At four months, every child starts to move in the womb. The extra ten days is for the female foetus. They need the extra days to get mature. This will stop a pregnant woman from passing on another man’s child to her new husband. If somebody divorces his wife, she has to menstruate three times before getting married. What this is saying is that religion is filtered. When it comes to marriage, what Islam says is that whoever has power to marry should marry.

Islam does not allow a society where there is prostitution. Since Islam proscribes prostitution, adultery and fornication, the moment a girl becomes mature biologically, Islam opens the door that if you want to marry, then marry. But if you bring a law that says a girl should not marry until when she gets to eighteen years, I tell you, at the age of sixteen, a girl begins to have sexual desire which will be pushing her like fire. In Islam, you do not give out a girl in marriage except when you ask her permission. So if the girl is ready to marry, she should marry. It does not affect her education or social life. You can still be married and be going to school.

You cannot tell people that this is what they should do with their lives. No, allow them to do what they want to do. Somebody told me a story that some girls were asked what they wanted to be in life. One said she wanted to be a lawyer, another said she wanted to be a doctor and the third one said she just wanted to get married.

The one who wanted to get married had no ambition but to be a house wife. Why should the society force her that she should not marry until a certain age? Once she is biologically fit and she wants to marry, let her marry.

But the Emir’s argument is that you should not marry more than one wife if you cannot take care of them.

That is not a religious issue but a social issue. In Kano, there are more than ninety thousand widows with children and they are still young. There are unmarried women in millions who are jobless. If you say ‘this man, you are poor, don’t marry her’, he stays poor and does not marry her, while she is still struggling, she is in a worse situation than if she marries the man. What these poor men do is a social service to the society because poor men have more wives that rich men. These women are not there redundant. Each woman is doing something, maintaining herself but under the umbrella of a man who makes sure that she does not become a prostitute. One prostitute in a town is worse than an atomic bomb because she will be spreading diseases. For many of these women, just having husbands is enough for them. Nobody sees them as prostitutes. Her children feel their mum is dignified because she has a husband. If you break this social fabric because of your understanding of religion, the result with be disastrous.


How will you imagine all these>women roaming about free?

Problem of elites

The problem of the elites is they attack issues without providing solution. We should not westernise our women but give them the basic thing they need. I am building a school for females. The principal and all the staff are females. Some men prevent their wives from working because of the problems associated with it. There are many women not working because of the rotten nature of the society. I believe that if men can run schools, if men can be fighter jet pilots, women can do these too. A woman is a man with a womb. Make a positive change in the society that encourages education not to be making noise in the mosque that we are backward.

Almajiri

You are talking about almajiri. Most of the places where there are almajiris, if you build a classroom for them and support the mallam, you will not see the children roaming around. When former President Jonathan had the plan to build four hundred almajiri schools, that was a positive plan and not the noise that people make.

Our elites keep talking about making law. Law does not work if it is against nature. You cannot fight terrorism if you do not address the economic situation of the people. The Prophet predicted that terrorism will happen. He said people will read the Qur’an upside down and be killing people in the name of God. The Prophet said if I am around (when this happens), I will just exterminate them.

I spoke against Boko Haram but I didn’t have weapons to stop them. It is not only guns. You have to redirect their thinking. You have to build schools for them. Nigeria alone cannot do it. The western nations can send us jet planes. That is not what we need. If America can send us exercise books, pens and rulers, the society will change. Killing will not make us succeed.

How do we separate corruption of cultural practices from Islam without compromising Islam?

Islam is universal. It is practiced in Saudi Arabia, it is practiced in Sudan. All the problems we are talking about now are not there. It is not religion. It is cultural. I am surprised the Emirs and traditional rulers are talking about this. The (traditional) institution needs to be phased out. If you do that, almajiri will be phased out too.

How do you explain that if you go to the Emir of Kano’s palace, you are expected to bow down. If you go to the (American) White House, will you bow down to Mr Donald Trump who has nuclear weapons in his hands? If you go to Kano now, the common man is expected to bow down to the Emir. Is that not a humiliation of human beings? What are they taking about? Our religion is against bowing down to human beings. You only bow down to God. They are misinterpreting the religion and putting blames wrongly on the religion.


If you want to modernise Nigeria, let’s phase out traditional rulers, Emirs and all of that. We will have a more robust leadership by election. This is what Islam is saying: affairs is by consultations and by agreements. Nobody imposes himself as an Emir.


Are you saying that the traditional institution is no longer relevant to the present day reality?

It is not relevant to the modern times and it is not even Islamic because, in Islam, there is no inheritance of power. It is the people that decide their leaders. If the institution will change, this nation will change. The traditional institution represents ignorant people who will go and bow down before them.

Do you want to perpetuate that ignorance? No, we want to bring light to the people so that they can stand up and speak. It is more anti – Islam than any other thing.


The issue of ease of divorce is another sore point on how women are treated in the North. What are religious leaders like you doing to minimise this?


While growing up, I never heard of divorce. This rampant divorce started in the 90s when people started adopting lifestyles that were not in congruence with their culture and religion. This modern social life, materialism increase the prospects of divorce. A woman marries you because of your wealth, you marry her because of her beauty. The Prophet encourages us to marry a religious person. But now people want to marry because of beauty or wealth. This is why you have this problem of divorce. We have to be closer to piety and modesty and this problem will disappear.


Kaduna State government made a proposal to introduce a law to regulate preaching in the state which attracted huge criticisms. Why are you religious leaders opposed to this bill?

There are many factors to consider. You cannot constitute a law that is so fundamentally against the Constitution. The Constitution has granted freedom of religion to the citizens. It is the religion that determines who propagates it, not the government. It is the religion that determines who becomes the pastor or the Imam and not the business. Government has no business with that. Christianity for instance has more than one thousand denominations, which one will the government allow? Islam has many sects and interpretations, which one will you regulate Government in a democracy is powerless.


Religion is powerful

An Emir in Kano says he wants to formulate a law. Who gave him such power? It is the assembly that makes the law and they are elected by the people. He would have been more conscious by begging the people. Government has grandiose feelings about itself. It is going beyond its boundaries. They don’t have the power to do what they say they want to do. That law can bring down the government. Jesus Christ was taken before the Roman court but now Christianity has gone beyond that.

Religion is powerful. It is from God, so no leader should think religion is a weapon to play with. It will destroy him. This is my advice to them about this grandiose feeling they have about themselves.

The governor of Zamfara State recently attributed the outbreak of meningitis to the prevalent fornication in the country. how do you react to this?

I know that whatever happens, there is a reason for it. God does things for a reason. He may be sending a message and the message may be two folds: one it may be as a consequence of our iniquity, as the governor thinks it is and also it can be as a trial, like Job was tried by God. But when the governor says it is as a result of fornication, then we have to listen because he is in a position to know. There is hypocrisy in the society. We appear as religious people but we are rotten. God can punish us for that. God has destroyed nations because of sin. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah.

On the other hand God may be punishing the government by taking innocent lives to go and rest. If the Zamafara governor is not doing what he is supposed to do; if he is not spending money on health of its citizens but going about things that are luxury, God can take away people that are innocent in order to embarrass the government. God’s sword can strike both ways. God can in one incidence send positive and negative messages. The governor should do his work and the people should turn from their evil ways.

Nice Write Up. Oya pro Sunusi come and attack him without reading the article.

Instead of you guys to praise Sanusi for having the courage to say what millions of Northerners haven't been able to say, you guys are trying to divert attention away by asking why he can't proffer solution. Is he in government to be able to do that?

The truth is the north is backward because of Islam. If Islam is not anti-western education, northerners would have been competing with other regions in Nigeria. Rather, the elite prefer to build mosques about while the populace remain uneducated and willing tools for jihad groups.

I'm glad that the veil is now plucking off the face of some Muslims up north. Why does Islam permit early marriage with 10 to 16yr old girls forced to marry 59 to 60yr old men? I think it is a political move to increase population so as to be stronger than. their opponent. A man marries 4 wives out of which 2 are likely to be under aged girls withing 12 to 16yrs. These girls give birth to nothing less than. 5 kids each. Their kids are also married off immediately they clock 12yrs old. These pattern helps increase population. That is why the north is always ahead politically cos they have the voting power to enable them carry out their Islamic agenda.

pls stop using another man's flaws to justify Your Own. If you juxtapose the region that you claim burn people with the northern Islamic region in terms of civilization, you will see that northern Nigeria is decades backward, all thanks to Islam.

The witch craft cases are usually rare. But we all know how rampant the case of almajiri and illiteracy is in Northern Nigeria, all thanks to Islam.
