Hisbah bars radio station from saying ‘Black Friday’

The Kano State Hisbah Board, which is tasked with the duty of enforcing Sharia law in Kano State, has written a letter to a radio station, in Kano State, 96.9 Cool FM, for using the term ‘Black Friday’.

Black Friday is an informal name for the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. The term is used worldwide to mean a day for promotional sales where goods are sold at discounted prices.

However, in a letter signed by Principal Executive Officer II, Abubakar Ali, on behalf of the Commander-General, Hisbah stated that Friday is regarded as a holy day in Islam and tagging it as ‘black’ is derogatory and would not be condoned.

The letter titled, ‘Letter of Introduction’ reads in part, “I am directed to write and notify you that the office is in receipt of a complaint for the conduct of ‘Black Friday Sales’ on November 27, 2020.

“Accordingly, we wish to express our concern on the tagging of Friday as ‘Black Friday’ and further inform you that the majority of the inhabitants of Kano State are Muslims that consider Friday as a holy day.

“In view of the foregoing, you are requested to stop calling the day ‘Black Friday’ with immediate effect and note that the Hisbah Corps will be around for surveillance purposes with a view to avoiding occurrence of any immoral activities as well as maintaining peace, harmony and stability in the state.”

Hisbah, an Islamic police operating in many states in the North, has been accused of several human rights abuses.

It is known for accosting vehicles transporting alcoholic beverages and does not allow such vehicles to pass through the state. Hisbah’s Commander General, Sheik Aminu Daurawa, had said over 12 million bottles of beer were destroyed in 800 operations executed in seven years.

According to the National Broadcasting Commission Act, only the NBC has the power to sanction a radio station especially in matters that relate to broadcasting.

Turkey, UAE & Saudi Arabia that are majorly muslim nations are relaxing some of their Islamic laws to embrace development and be on par with modern realities, while ours are thinking of baseless issues.
Hisbah should be more interested in insecurity, reducing poverty, drug abuse, gender inequality, rape, almagiri system that is raving the North and not just BEER & Black Friday.
Honestly, Nigeria cannot develop without Education, the right kind of Education.

Black man interpreting black as evil

We are our own problems

Seriously?

Different strokes for different folks.


To think of it, the term was used to mean a sad day. How come business owners coined it to mean a day to sale at discount to buyers?

Letter of Notofication see how them murder English

See the people Lord Lugard amalgamated us with

Northern Muslims are backward , no development the only thing they know is bombing and dealing with the The infidel.

Ancient practice ,why won't Mtn , Glo , Airtel , Glo run away in your various cities because of you people backwardness and kidnapping, it is only in the North that you will stay in a city you hardly see full bar to make calls.

You Northerners are driving investors away in your region just because of religion but every month you all queue in Abuja to collect allocation

Hypocrites everywhere

'smallboisoon30.
so na them own de friday abi？
but first let them bring the prove of ownership case close.

they never disappoint

Hunger, Bandits and Boko Haram are killing your people freely and all you are bothered about is black Friday. This is why the north will continue to remain poor.

Eliminate this hisbah now and save Nigeria future troubles! But Buhari will never do that. He likes to cuddle northern extremists. This hisbah is snowballing into another amorphous Islamic group desperate to keep the society functioning in very atarvistic ways. In the next 5 years, the current members of hisbah, with all their trainings will be one of the biggest headaches for Nigerias security agencies. Then,the same people who created the group will now start blackmailing the rest of us to slice off a part of the national budget to rebiuld the north from the activities of these ones..

Why these people dey behave like this? What's special in black Friday than to get cheap things and enjoy.

Werey people

Backwardness is really in the North under the guise of islam

always carry religion matter for head like gele

Lalasticlala

Hisbah will be worse than SARS finally

They should rename it Allah Friday na

The person who wrote this letter with horrible grammar and spelling deserves cane. See the yeye letter. And when did "black" become a word that denotes evil


Please message me if you're a good writer.

I don't know why we are sharing same country with these mentally backward people. People with archaic brains of 10,000 years ago.

stupid set of ppl

...
Isnt it obvious the north and the south has nothing in common whatsoever..
The earlier we acknowledge this and go separate ways, the better for us all..

The north with their backward Islam can continue banning, slamming, bombing and killing themselves..

This is utter rubbish
