Sorry to say how does the law you quoted relate to the ban of alcohol.

Is Kano State Penal code 2004 sharia law?

Blue3k:
I dont think that's a firm legal argument since banning intoxicants isnt religious. This could easily be argued to be a health regulation. You're free to challenge them in court over it, Maybe the supreme court would agree with you. The athiest are doing so regarding blasphemy laws.

The Kano State Hisbah Board has said the sale, consumption and possession of alcoholic substances are prohibited in the state though not made illegal by the Nigerian Constitution.

In an interview with SaharaReporters on Monday, Assistant Commander of Kano Hisbah, Nabahani Usman, said Section 100 of the Nigerian constitution confers on each state the powers to enact laws 'that will suit their purposee and interest'.

He said the law is binding on anyone whether Muslims or non-Muslims, as long as the person stays in Kano State.

He added, "Kano State Penal code 2004 prohibits the sale and distribution of all alcoholic substances in the state. If you are found to be selling, consuming, or dealing in any alcoholic substances in Kano, irrespective of who you are, you are affected by the law, so whether the person is a Muslim or a Christian, as long as you are in Kano, you are affected by the law. If I go to Anambra and there is a law in place, I have to comply with it."

He said the population of non-Muslims in Kano are over one million, and areas that are dominated by Christians are not usually disturbed by men of the Hisbah board.

"If you go to Sabon Gari, they buy and drink whatever they want and nobody disturbs them at all. It’s a different state up there. In Kano, (along) Igbo Road, Hausa Road, Yoruba Road, you cannot count the number of beer (sellers) in those places and it is sold openly but we don't disturb them. Go at night, you will see so many people enjoying themselves, drinking. In fact, we warned our men not to go to Sabon Gari to arrest beer dealers; they should not go there to arrest. We know our Christian brothers and sisters are there and we don't want to disturb or create anything that will generate disturbance in the state."

Speaking on the case of Sylvanus Mba, a Christian beer seller, who was arrested and assaulted by Hisbah officials, the Assistant Commander General of the body likened the sale of alcohol in Kano to smuggling.

He said, "If you are smuggling and you get arrested in the process, at the end of the day, you lose that thing but if you are lucky to smuggle it to Sabon Gari, you are free. At Sabon Gari, some of our people even go there to drink.

"When you are arrested, you are charged to court. The court will try to confiscate the items, sentence you and fine you. They don't even detain people; they only collect the beer products and fine you between N1, 000 and N5, 000 and you are free.”

He said there were many cases similar to that of Mba and that Mba’s case was no exception.

Mba, a beer dealer and owner of Silver Tavern, along Igbo Road in Kano, was arrested and detained alongside one of his sons by the state Islamic police, Hisbah.

SaharaReporters had earlier reported how Mba, his sons and workers were beaten by Hisbah officials after which the alcoholic beverages he had stocked to sell were confiscated.

He was said to have been forced to plead guilty.

It was learnt that he and his son were later given an option to pay a fine of N40,000 each or go to jail for four months.

Yawwnnnn....To the ''failed state merchants'' anybody lighter skinned then them is ''oyinbo'', so spare us that Caucasian bullcrap, as if we don't know.

AND the planes that evacuated them were NIGERIAN AEROPLANES, private or otherwise. And it was the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA, not your father, that paid for the flights, and sent the planes there to return the slaves back home.

rossipki:
Actually it is Air Peace, not ''Air Piece''.

Also, Air Peace fly only direct flights between India and Nigeria, so these guys are not travelling to Pakistan or Congo.

Thirdly, visit the link of the site confirming the entire story.

rossipki:
These Nigerians dismissed Nigeria as a ''failed state'', fled the country, and ended up as slaves in ''successful state'' Lebanon. They never heard of or bothered to research Hezbollah terrorists and other troubles there before travelling. They are an '''oyinbo country'' after all, so they must be ''far better than Nigeria'' in their thick, dumb skulls.

After sucking Arab nuts for free for some months, getting thrown dog food to eat, denied their salaries, and enduring brutal racist treatment, they suddenly realised Nigeria was ''their dear fatherland'' and began to appeal to the ''failed state'' to send them its ''failed aeroplanes'' to evacuate them back home.

Apart from Oyo, I think SW is pretty well secured. Nevertheless, OYO Amotekun is doing their best in securing Oodua land.

My only fear is SS and MB that have refused to get their acts together.

I don't understand what is wrong with those people. You will only see SS governors gathering when oil matter dey table.

Ndi ara.

The South will hold them responsible if they continue to as the weakness link in the South.

Tribe matters, race matters

White people as a tribe live together and will be angry when their tribe is being taken over by foreigners.
Chinese do similar stuff and other race.

Just because we are human beings does not mean we have similar mentality, similar cultures and traditions.

I can categorically tell you that the cause of mass corruption in Nigeria is because of multiculturalism.


If a igbo, yoruba and hausa person try help only their tribe we call the person tribalist.

Every smart person will put the interest of his tribe or race before another race or tribe. it is called self preservation.

It's a privilege to have Osinbajo in power, he has been the forefront of bringing Google, Microsoft and HAUWEI to Nigeria tech.

Indians Flood Nigeria As Air Peace Starts Direct Flights

See how Indians are fleeing India for Nigeria.

The same India some folks claim is ''doing far better than Nigeria''.

They appreciate Nigeria as the land of opportunity where you can make it if you are are positive, creative, work hard, and believe in yourself and the country, even if some Nigerian youths on Nairaland think Nigeria is a ''failed state''. ''Worse than Syria'' according to one idiotic nincompoop, who has by now probably fled to slavery in Libya or Lebanon, or to wash plates in Italy.


Welcome to Nigeria, and kudos for believing in our Federal Republic.

Before I stoop so low to your level, can you please show me any in the entire south east that is not as mediocre as the one shown above of River state.


This is the same mentality you guys have that we are complaining about...You would rather come to Lagos to come hawk Gala and Yoghurt than to hold your leaders accountable.

This is not beauty abeg.

Nigerian men call this girl beautiful.

Una know what is beautiful, that girl is an ugly girl that happens to be fair.

Anyway, from what i understood, many Nigerian girls are just like her, with untamed anger ready to kill and destroy. I noticed this tendency among Nigerians both men and women, they are always controlled by emotions rather than reason no wonder, a simple abuse or attack on their ego make them go crazy for blood, After the act they start regretting.

Someone with an unbiased opinion should tell this ignoramuses what unity really means .

Someone should tell this man to go preach this to Soviet union, hindustan, Roman empire and stop having selective amnesia. The first assignment of his boss at the UNGA was to tell the world that Palestinians should have their country and south western Morocco should be independent

southniyikaye:
It is good they developed it but they should also tell us the amount channeled into it and amount embezzled..

People shouting APC and pdp are fools to me...
Rotimi amaechi was formerly in pdp before crossing to APC..
80% of criminals in APC were pdp criminals..
They only poured an old wine into a new bottle

Very Bad advice. Multiple access means multiple targets by foreign enemies. The POTUS remains the most secured individual. A congressman is an easy target to the Russians, N-Koreans and the communist china spies.
