TooMuchStuff:
Terrorist Fulanis killed by vigilante but because of backlash from power that be..

..it suddenly became "By mistake"

Ilekokonit:
Like play like play these Republican Lawmakers in America will embolden Trump to come and invade Nigeria if Nigerian Politicians don't stand up and counter this FALSE NARRATIVE by ignorant American lawmakers of christian genocide in Nigeria.

What is happening in Nigeria is a mix of religious extremism, terrorism, land conflict, and governance failure, rather than a coordinated, state-backed genocide.

UkoAnnang:


It's none of my business

But it's for interest of the Igbos to know that the hatred Yorubas have for them is a thousand times greater than an hurricane

Sharia has always been in the north, what happened was extension to the criminal aspect of the law.

Otherwise , it was always there. The inclusion of sharia in the 1979 constitution led to a big argument at the constitutional drafting level (1978 constituent assembly) which led to several compromises being made. Sharia was for states that wanted it , and it was to be restricted to civil cases only

Sharia law was introduced in the northern Nigerian state of Zamfara in September 1999, initiated by then-Governor Ahmed Sani Yerima following the return to civilian rule. This move was followed by 12 other Muslim-majority states, which also began implementing Sharia as a main body of civil and criminal law, leading to a significant expansion of Islamic legal and penal codes in the region.

Beginning of implementation: The process started in September 1999 in Zamfara State, as detailed by BBC World Service and BBC News.
Spread to other states: Other northern states followed, and by late 2002, 12 states had adopted Sharia law.

Legal changes: States established Islamic legal institutions and implemented new laws, such as penal codes that included traditional punishments for certain offenses like theft and fornication.

Political context: The move was part of a broader political and cultural movement in the region to reassert Northern Muslim identity, though it sparked significant controversy and violence.

Constitutional implications: While the Nigerian Constitution promotes secularism and freedom of religion, the federal government did not challenge the states' implementation of Sharia, which was to apply only to Muslims in those states.

Hate to be the guy

The sharia law enshrined in the 12 northern states was an expansion of sharia courts into criminal cases,as defined by Islamic law ( hence the two women who were sentenced to be stoned to death because adultery is a crime under sharia).

This one na civil case or civil sharia which has been on the books for a long time, before 1999. Used to form part of the northern regional penal code since colonial times. Abuja falls under the old northern region

I suspect the man's tenant is a Muslim.The palava is the court not checking who owned the shop. Big mistake

There won't be change in the laws.Both sides find this as a useful bugbear

Racoon:
Of course financial indiscipline and clueless ineffective leadership are worst combo that can never take a country through a good economic tragectory.

Meanwhile, the same IMF goaded the same failed govt with its many neck-constricting unfeasible economic policies. Imagine telling govt to remove subsidy on electricity fuel and increase taxation. God save Nigeria from the jackals feeding on it's dying carcass.

Smartcitizen:
Anytime this people from the west hears this news, they are always happy and that's why Tinubu is not ready to do anything about it.

How did the north offended Tinubu and his people?

Nawaoo!

Softmirror:
The trucks on our roads was a ploy by the military back then to make their friends super rich by allocating so much for them to import trucks and tankers to transport petroleum products and others. Ask the likes of Chachangi.

It was delibrate to kill the railway system.

nairalanda1:
Mining cannot meet any country's needs. Because as I said, they don't control the price

It's basically also.why we don't earn enough revenue from oil too.

Hence industrialized economy is best

nairalanda1:
Ivory coast(the 2002-6 war) and senegal(the Zinguchor issue) have had the same issues between Muslim North and christian south, with secular constitution, just like Nigeria...

Plus mining don't mean anything in today's world. I mean, Niger has been mining Uranium for decades, yet they use the revenue to import, and don't have a nuclear power station. And ye think the other countries won't do the same? Sell their minerals and use revenue to import? At prices they don't set.., and never favour them? Na so we end up in debt before now.

nairalanda1:
Okay, we split Nigeria

we will end up with at least 4 mini Nigerias, or even as many as 13 mini nigerias...because the problem is most of you guys idea of development is that we sell resources, share the money and import.

Also, many of those countries that come out of nigeria will need money (and splitting nigeria does not mean the end of your IMF obligations re debt)...and it will come from tax. And most of you don't like taxes....palava 2

Low money means you won't have the means to fight insecurity, provide jobs etc...palava 3.

That's why we are underdeveloped in the first place. That's why Nigeria cannot work, nor can the countries that come out it too work. Most Nigerians think that the world owes them a living. Your state wants to charge tax, you cry oppressor, your local disco wants to charge cost reflective tarrif, you cry oppressor. You want free stuff, and then you wonder why the debt is balloning. You support the corrupt, and wonder why leaders no dey rule us well.

IN short, you go cry we are too poor. Well, country made of people that are too poor to pay market tarrif for power, tolls for roads, income tax, higher tax to gdp , set up industrial development....etc....and want someone to share money to them, are broke countries. That is why nigeria is not working.

But I think you want tribal related anarchy , so enjoy.

Jennyclay:
UK and US should eat their country

They are becoming so annoying these days, they suddenly forgot they also stole from us .

They should go to hell please!!

kettykin:
I knew it must be onye igbo . My sincere prayer is that every igbo person will find themselves in countries, businesses , industries where there hard work will be better appreciated and rewarded

zero8zero:
This is after getting $20 billion loan from the world bank earlier. The finishing specialists/Bitter Obidients said Nigeria should go to Milei and study Argentina economy 😂

Jokerman:
But honestly who decided to lump various tribes together into a single country?

No shared language, Culture, Ideas, beliefs, unity.

If there's no unity, the country can't get to where it is supposed to be.

Every tribe in Nigeria shoulda have their own country

LabStores:
Okay.

But why is Dangote refinery always in the news?
He is just one out of supposedly many.

What is NNPC doing?

What about Port Harcourt refinery?
What about kanuna refinery?

What about all the so-called modular refineries setup by past administration too?

Why always just calling out a private refinery developed by a business man?
Why can't the government just be responsible?

federal9:
This is what happens when tribalism and politics take over people's mind.


Let's keep hating on Peter Obi, tribalism, and other stuff while we get taken by Bandicts

I pray we all survive to see how Nigeria will turn out to be after bad politicians have been eradicated legally.

kpankpangolo:
Let them not get ideas to come our way. They will lose money. Our 230M population doesn’t translate to profit.

Princedapace:
I am actually in support of this move. This does not make me ass licker of whites. I support them for loving them selves unlike us here where we hate, fight, and disregard each other becus of tribe. So, is there any difference between racism and tribalism? None.

LagosOrigin:
I wish him quick recovery. But why are APC tinubu covering up his sickness?

In sane clime, the health status of political appointees are made public . From the president to his political appointees . But here in Nigeria under tinubu, the health status of political appointees and their principal is kept away from public.

Lanruze:
This new investment is a birth of the PIA initiated by President Muhammed Buhari.

The credit goes to late PMB and not PBAT.

The unbundling of roles, responsibilities and tasks of the Upstream (Exploration), Midstream (Refining) and Downstream (Distribution) has made investments more attractive in the Upstream sector.

Shell had announced this investment since last year with a total of $5B but has just concluded the first tranche of the $2B. This investment has been captured as an FDI inflow since last year.

Them go whine you (Propagandist) but please no panic.

Crypto is too volatile bla bla bla. That is only a line you will use for those who don't know about crypto. As the volatility leads to losses, so does it lead to gain as well.

About 3 years ago, the same crypto went down to 18k dollars, it rebounded to 60k and above and just before the recent careless statement was sitting above 120k dollars. That is almost a 600% increase in just a little over 3 years.

The last time Nvidia was valued at 300 billion dollars was in 2021. Today it is a 4 trillion dollars company. That translates to a 1300% increase in value.

In the same 2021, bitcoin was valued at a little below 4000 dollars. Today, it is currently at 110,000 dollars. That translates to almost 2500% increase in value. That is almost double folds of the profit of Nvidia.

Despite the volatility of the crypto market, do your maths and tell me which one of the two has been a better investment since 2021 that you bought your Nvidia stocks!!!!

Despite all the current brouhaha, only those who sell are the losers. It is never a loss until you sell!!!

Scorpio99:
The same Nvidia that lost around 229 billion dollars? 🤣🤣 When you finish deceiving yourself, we are here

Scorpio99:
Be lying to yourself there.
Those who know the truth are aware that stocks (Forex) was the market that last 1.6 trillion dollars. Crypto lost 19 billion dollars.

silverlinen:
Make your research well brr. Stocks and forex are two different things entirely. And I'll advise you to go into one.

Scorpio99:
You keep saying nonsense.
The stocks you claimed you invested in was the market that lost 1.6 trillion dollars. Crypto lost 19 billion dollars!!!
