Destruction Of 337 Bottles Of Beer In Jigawa: Hypocrisy Gone Too Far by FRESHGIST247: 2:38am On Oct 24, 2017 |
BY IKECHUKWU ONYEMAH When we pretend to have virtues, moral principles or religious beliefs, it perhaps makes us feel closer to the creator. More often than not, we rarely take into cognizance, the effect of such on others. when we do not really exhibit such virtue in totality, we become nothing but hypocritical with or without the knowledge of it. On Thursday the 12th of October 2017, an online news media (http://punchng.com/jigawa-lg-destroys-475-bottles-jerry-cans-of-assorted-beer/) had it that “ Jigawa LGA destroys 475 bottles, jerry-can of assorted beer” According to the report, “Hisbah, a sharia law enforcement agency in Jigawa, has prohibited the consumption of beer in all part of the state.” They however warned the beer vendors to change trade or face the full wrath of the law. One will not deny Jigawa et al the right to make and implement laws that are aimed at bringing sanity to the state neither do I intend to debate the rightness or otherwise of the religious believe of a people so long as it does not infringe on my own individual right. That said, it is expected of states that have adopted such moral or spiritual laws to have taken a holistic approach in the implementation so as to avoid being hypocritical. In Nigeria, Nine states of Zamfara, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, Bauchi, Borno, Jigawa, Kebi and Yobe have fully embraced this law. One question which readily comes to mind is; what happens to the owners and manufacturers of this products who are legitimate companies operating and paying their VAT to the federal government of Nigeria? In the same country, some markets are denied them yet they generate huge revenue for Government which is shared by all 36 states plus FCT without restriction. It is common knowledge that one who abhors crime should not be in possession of the proceed. Consumption of beer falls short of “sharia law” in Jigawa, it is thus prohibited. So should the VAT (revenue) from beer. Consequently, to avoid being hypocritical in our quest for spiritual uprightness, the states where this law have been passed and prohibition on sale of beer in implemented, should in truthfulness to faith, compel the federal government through the FIRS to separate the revenue from beer before it is shared. By so doing only states that open up their market should also share from its revenue and the states that have closed their market for this product should not turn around and share from the proceed. It is highly hypocritical and defeats the whole essence of religious virtue which the “sharia law” seeks to promote. http://regulusnews.com/2017/10/24/destruction-of-337-bottles-of-beer-hypocricy-gone-too-far/ 84 Likes 12 Shares

Stupidity.... I would call it stupidity, it is only backward states that think that way. In Dubai, instead of banning alcohol, they placed a heavy tax on it, meaning if you really want to drink bear, you must pay premium for it. The extra bucks made from alcohol sales are used for development. But in most northern states, lack of economic sense make them ban everything they view as Haram but still do the worse behind the scenes. Go to the barracks, 80% of the consumers there still remain the northerners. Now when Lagos and other states who sale alcohol generate tax, they still have to pay to the centre which would now be shared among the 36 states including this economic stupid states. No wonder they are against restructuring of the country, bunch of mofos 165 Likes 11 Shares |

BabaRamota1980: Since you asked for it, here are few benefits of beer consumption: - Prevents Cancer - Protects Heart - Increases Bone Density - Prevents Anemia - Lowers Blood Pressure - Delays Aging - Prevents Gallstones - Improves Digestion - Reduces Risk of Kidney Stones - Stress Buster - Diuretic Quality - Cleanses Gastrointestinal Tract Now tell me the benefits of the hard drugs and snuffs they inhale in the North - tram, gum, etc, yet there's no war against it from the same government. They smoke like chimney, almost every boy above the age of 12 accompany a bottle of coke with 2 sticks of cigarettes. Which one kills faster - cigarette or beer? How is it the government's business if I choose beer over drugs? The worst part is that those foolish northern governors will still request for their share of beer tax generated primarily by southern states and lavish the money on women and drugs. Hypocrisy is the first enemy of Northerners. 126 Likes 10 Shares |

Hypocrite all of em. When we say northern Nigeria is living in stone age, holding the rest of the country down and we don't want to belong to the same country with them, it looks like we are making trouble. These same 1diots receive VAT from the sale of alcohol which they use to build mosques, train Islamic scholars and go to Umrah. It is not a sin to receive the proceeds of alcohol, but it is a sin to consume it. If I were the makers of those drink, I would sue their as5 for wilful destruction of my property. Bastards all of em. In this 21st century all these dolts are thinking about is alcohol and destruction of bottles of beer. These ones destroying the bottles, please, which security arm do they belong to? Is it recognised under our laws? If Nnamdi Kanu starts his own Security outfit, Nigerian government would kick, but all over the north they have security outfits that have taken the role of the police, yet no one complains or has declared them terrorists. The advanced and educated Southern Nigeria is really the slave of the primitive north. 41 Likes 5 Shares |

It's quite amusing how the hypocritical and "religious" Northern Nigeria has the country's highest substance abuse rate; so I'm amazed at how they constantly claim moral superiority over the rest of the unpretentious and secular South of this beautiful country. 15 Likes
