I tried leaving religion alone but it keeps encroaching on my right to belief and association.
You mean what's in the constitution is preventing you from going to church and associating with your friends, family members and fellow Christians?


Religion is not your problem, you are your own problem.


Leave religion alone and find something better to do with your life..

INTRODUCTION:

Nigeria is a multi-religious state that primarily recognises Islam, Christianity, Atheist, traditional and others.
The Nigerian constitution guarantees every citizen’s fundamental
the human right to religion, belief and practice. Whilst it states that, “The Government of the Federation or of a state shall not adopt any religion as State Religion”,
it does not prevent the Federal government or any state government from associating or identifying with any religion as long as this stops short of an “adoption”.

However, some states in Nigeria have moved from identification with a particular religion to Adaptation. Thereby bridging the constitution and fundamental freedom of association/religion.

“In the 1999 Constitution, Shariah was mentioned 73 times, Grand Khadi 54 times, Islam 28 times , Muslims 10 times and there is no single mention of Christ, Christian, Christianity or church. Some mischievous elements are taking these lapses in the constitution to come to the ungodly decision that probably that the state is an Islamic state.

It will make more sense to totally remove any religious body from the Nigerian constitution.
Nigeria does not have a constitution. The so-called Nigeria constitution is 1999 Constitution created by Islamic soldiers of Nigerian army. Nigeria needs to jettison the piece of crap for good.

If we don't restructure this country and amend that islamized constitution then we are in for future disasters you can't even imagine.

Big difference. English is not a religion - it is a language.

No, the clause must be corrected and this is the reason why we need the restructuring.

Shebi you no dey hear about the marriage (household) breakups caused by your men of God? Fvking peoples wives in the name of spiritual healing! grin

Now to destruction of environment... if its judging by an environment ravaged by killings i think say the likes of port Harcourt is not destroyed abi? Place wey serial killers dey walka in broad daylight , cultists left right and centre not to mention ritual killings etc.

Better park well and shut your trap, quit disgracing yourself. undecided

The OP is really making sense but we do not have only Islamic law in the Nigeria constitution. We also have English law is Nigeria constitution. So therefore, we will both need to remove the two to balance the equition
the constitution would be written in YORUBA language instead of English language. This will make it a YORUBA law. Happy now?

Write the new Constitution let all man translate them according to their local language.

When we talk about equity and freedom for all some public ignoramus and troublemakers and educated jokes piss off.

This is why folks who come here on Nairaland and support this kind of hogwash are the problem we have in this country.
Instead of you to find out why Islām was mentioned the times it was mentioned in the constitution you decided to bring you side ways reasoning without finding out why and how it was mentioned and some fools here are saying you are making sense.
I wonder the kind of education you guys went through.
It's such a shame that people can't even reason anymore.

Stay one side. You don't know why i posted these. In this country, Muslims have nothing else to talk about except Christians these and that. Holiday this and that.

Ok, lets every religion sit down and talk. They say no.
The same goes to tribalism

So i have to bring up this topic to stir the air. I ended up saying no religion should be imported in our national constitution.

So get it.

No wonder Your holy Christian brothers are all over Muslim countries peddling drugs and committing all kinds of crimes.
The best part of the story is even if they escape Sharia law in Nigeria, Sharia law will send your holy Christian brothers, to hell in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Channel your grievance to MURic and Boko boys.

No religion should be inserted in the
constitution. Is that what is hard for you to understand.

You are a religious bigot and a hypocrite, as an unbeliever hell is already your final abode, your hate for Islam will eventually consume you when the wrath of God Almighty descend on you hateful soul repent before it is too late.

Also call for removal of Christian indoctrination in Nigeria calendar and the removal of all Christian tradition from Nigerian public and civil service.
It is funny coming from a fanatic who sees no problem with having Sharia in a secular constitution.
Rather than ranting on the internet about phantom indoctrination, tell your state governor to adopt full Sharia.
At least, you would be sent to the kitchen and the other room where you are supposed to be according to Islam.

Nigeria was a British protectorate and not an Arewa suzerainty.
In fact, the Arewa forces were destroyed by the British in order to take over.

You cannot have more rights than other conquered groups in the country.
That 1999 constitution must be torn and rewritten to remove any mention of Sharia.

If you so much love Sharia, fight for full restructuring so your state can implement 100% sharia

Shariah and whatsoever you're complaining about existed way before any 1999 constitution.It wouldn't have been possible writing the constitution without addressing such issues.Moreover,their mentioning in that constitution actually limits it's powers and yet you're complaining.
It should never have been mentioned and would have been illegal outside of voluntary participation.
It only makes sense to mention Sharia in a state's law and not in the constitution of the Federal republic.

It doesn't matter why it was mentioned.
A federal constitution is for a country not some groups with a vested interest
of dominating others.
All mention of Sharia must be expunged from the Nigerian constitution.
