You can't be claiming friends to the northern Moslems and not support Sharia law.

Shariah Law in Southwestern Nigeria: Clearing the Misconceptions and call for tolerance and coexistence


The recent opposition to the establishment of Shariah courts in southwestern Nigeria—particularly in Oyo, Ekiti, and Ogun States—is yet another example of non-Muslim resistance to Islamic rights and practices.

This is not new. We have seen the same pattern before:

1. When Muslim students wanted to wear hijab in schools, they faced fierce opposition, even though it did not affect non-Muslims. Alhamdulillah, the Supreme Court has upheld their right to do so.
2. When Islamic banks like Jaiz were introduced, they were met with criticism. But today, many non-Muslims are customers of non-interest banking.
3. When Sukuk bonds (a Shariah-compliant financial instrument) were introduced, there was an outcry. Today, the Nigerian government and businesses rely on them for infrastructure funding.

Yet, after all the noise, many of these same critics eventually embrace what they once condemned.

This raises important questions:

- Why do non-Muslims feel so threatened by practices that are exclusively for Muslims and do not affect them?

- Why is there such an obsession with opposing Islamic initiatives when they are not compulsory for non-Muslims?

- Why is it difficult to allow Muslims the freedom to practice their faith in a way that aligns with their beliefs?

Shariah courts are not mandatory for non-Muslims. They are a constitutional right for Muslims who prefer to handle personal affairs like marriage, divorce, and inheritance through Islamic law. As highlighted by Barrister Muideen Olagunju, the only type of Shariah applicable in the Southwest is Muslim Personal Law, covering: marriage and marital issue such as divorce, inheritance and maintenance.

Currently, while Islamic marriage is recognized by law, Muslims who want to divorce must go through customary courts, where the judges may not even be Muslims. Similarly, if a Muslim dies and the family goes to court, the property must be shared according to Yoruba customary law (e.g., Idi Igi or Ori Ojori), instead of the Islamic inheritance system, which ensures fair distribution beyond just wives and children.

The unfairness here is not the establishment of Shariah courts, but the denial of a legal system that allows Muslims to practice their religion fully.

What Shariah Law is NOT
Shariah courts in the Southwest will NOT impose Islamic law on non-Muslims.
Shariah courts will NOT replace the existing legal system.

Non-Muslims are NOT affected in any way.

Just as Christians are not forced to use Shariah courts, Muslims should also not be forced to use customary courts that do not align with their religious beliefs. Is that not fair?

Many developed countries where Muslims are a minority allow Islamic arbitration for Muslims. Yet, in Nigeria—a country where Muslims are at least 50% of the population—why is it a problem when Muslims request their rights?

It is time to let go of baseless fear and unnecessary opposition. Just as Christians have their rights, Muslims also have theirs, and neither should interfere with the other. Live and let live.

The reality is, just like the hijab case, if this opposition continues, it will eventually go to the Supreme Court, which will affirm the right of Muslims to have Shariah courts. So why create unnecessary conflict when peaceful engagement can resolve the issue?

Let us respect each other’s beliefs and allow all citizens to exercise their constitutional rights.

May Allah guide us all to truth and justice. Ameen.

Tramadol... I nearly got addicted to that thing last year... I got it as a prescription from the doctor and at first, I also hated the feeling after taking it... Hallucinations, dizziness, feeling hot, constipation, having stomach cramps whenever I was hungry... I eventually stopped taking it because I couldn't deal with all those side effects.

But something happened and I had to resume taking it again, but this time I noticed that it was giving me this energy I didn't have before and I'd be hyperactive and at peace with myself... It became my coping mechanism for a while until I ran out of the pills.

It was only when I found myself begging for one more pill that I realised that I needed to stop before it was too late... I've heard how addictive it could become and I'm glad I was able to restrain myself while there was still time... So I wish you all the best in fighting the addiction.

Small matter all Bashir needs is to get transcripts of his radio programs. Then all the killings of government officials including a northern politician after those programs and sue him back for N5billion for wasting the courts time.

Promiseland Estate CEO, Family, Performing Staff Members Complete Refreshing Christmas, New Year Vacation Across South African Cities


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5t3RtDrb1o?si=bO53UY2RjjhrzKs8

After a year-long hard work, the CEO of Promiseland Estates, Ambassador Lawrence Emmanuel (MON) and members of his family have successfully completed a Christmas and new year vacation, which afforded the entire family opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate in readiness for activities of the year.

The vacation also included 20 members of his staff who performed excellently in the past year, meeting up their 500 million Naira sales targets. This was in fulfillment of the promise of a special treatment made to the staff to spur hard work and commitment.

The renowned philanthropist and youth advocate, along with his beautiful wife, Amb. Mrs. Gift Emmanuel and their children had departed Abuja shortly before the Christmas Day and made a brief stop at cozy spots in Lagos to catch a glimpse of their serenity before departing to South Africa.

The decision to pick South Africa may not be unconnected with efforts to explore more synergy between Nigeria and South Africa in a way that brings both African countries together to tap on the areas of strength of each other, especially as the campaign to exploit the opportunities of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement intensifies.

While in South Africa, the real estate tycoon and his family also took advantage of the robust tourist environment the government is creating to enjoy nature and relaxation.

They also had a brief stop and Johannesburg, then proceeded to Cape Town where they lodged at the prestigious Double Tree Hotel, spent few nights and moved to Lagum Beach Hotel, very close to the beach where they also had a good time at the beach.

From there, they proceeded also to Victoria Wharf and had a boat cruise and other fun activities. This did not end without a visit to the famous Cape Wheel.

The family eventually came back to Johannesburg after days in Cape Town, from where they arrived Lagos amidst exciting refreshment from the serenity of the Mandela's country.

This was the major family vacation the Promiseland CEO, his family and performing staff embarked on through out last year, leading to this new year.

Last year was full of activities for the company as he broke new real estate grounds and expanded the horizon of the company.

Amb. Lawrence Emmanuel's Promiseland Estate is one of the most popular estate firms in Abuja, the nation's capital with its smart estates dotted across the city centre.

He has maintained a consistent campaign for provision of decent and affordable housing scheme because the role housing plays in promoting health and well-being of every human.

Promiseland Estates under his management has gained numerous recognition for remaining topnotch in providing state-of-the-art housing for Abuja residents and surrounding cities, with modern facilities

This is in addition to the hundreds of employment opportunities, both direct and indirect he has provided in the housing value chain, making young Nigerians to live their dreams.

He has also touched lives of communities through several philanthropic interventions, aiming to improve living standard of locals especially during his recent birthday in December 2024.

Through his non-profit organization, Promiseland Foundation, he has delivered relief materials, especially foods and other consumables to vulnerable members around communities in the country.

In September, his wife and the Executive Director of Promiseland Estate Mrs. Gift Emmanuel also doled out millions of naira in relief materials as part of activities to celebrate her birthday.
