Odun tuntun.

These terrorists are the real practicing Muslims. Christian and others calling them extremist don't understand the religion of Islam.

Moderate Muslims also calling them extremist with you either don't read their quran or they are intentionaly lying to you.

Read the book "Who is This Allah" to get proper understanding.

It was when I read this two books that I understand that the terrorists are the realy true Muslims. Obeying the will of Allah.

1. Cancell the plan to travel to the South East Nigeria by all means because "IPOB freedom fighters" can unalife you

Sleeping in my house.

But the Hausas are the brains behind the insecurity and lack of economic opportunities in the whole of SE?

Keep wallowing in your grandiose delusion. Just keep wallowing.

proeast:
Lol, keep deceiving yourself. Let Igbos leave Lagos and establish elsewhere and see if the economy of Lagos won't reduce drastically.

There are more yoruba immigrants from the rusted roof dungeons moving into Lagos than Igbos yet you guys contribute very little to the state's economy aside causing nuisances as agberos and omonile.

Atleast, Igbos are the brain behind economic hubs like Computer Village, Idumota, Alaba and ASPAMDA. Only Igbos!

Tell me one single economic hub in Lagos that yorubas from your 5 rusted states have built??

Economic assets like Igbos should leave Lagos so that Empty noise makers like you will turn it into another rusted roof shanty.

Grandiose delusion.

A lot people of different ethnic group living and working in Lagos state travelled to their different states to celebrate with thier people, but our ussually delusional and nassissistic economic migrants will try and claim the glory.

Their lies are now exposed as they could not travel this year due to insecurity in their South East region of nigeria caused by IPOB and the high cost of transportation.

I personally know more than 5 Yoruba family-friends who travelled out of Lagos during this festive season. So as well, many people from among the other 300 different tribe travelled out of Lagos, but it is our irrational immigrants from across the river Niger with primitive mindset and inferiority complex taking the praise. Isn't that wonderful?

Also, a lot of people prefer to stay indoor during festive periods, howbeit, the streets are not as empty as this delusional fellow wants to portray them.

Keep observing yourself in a colored mirror deceiving only yourself. We and other sane people see you for who you realy are.

Go to the streets of UK and USA to observe similar phenomenon.

I think you should for now focus more on streets in your region where IPOB was recorded to have murdered several of your kinsmen during this festive season. And on how empty the streets are due to the cowardly fear of getting murdered by your blood thirsty terrorists disguised as "freedom fighters"

This book tells you objective truth about Islam. This is the book I ended 2024 reading out of the many book I read this year.

"Who Is This Allah"

Your life will never remain the same after reading this book.

Untill there is a true answer.

All these fake imported religions have destroyed the normal mental processes of a lot of our people.

Know for fact that:

There is no heaven, there is no hell, there is no God (or god), there is no Allah, there are no angels, there are no demons, there are no spirits, there is no life after death, juju don't work, there is no eternal judgment, there is no karma, there was no historical Jesus. All those are figment of human imaginations and tools use by a very few some to control the very many others. The earlier you understand and accept these facts as facts, the happier and merrier your life and existence will be.

The religion you're currently claiming is the religion of your parents, if you were born into a different family of another religion (say Hinduism), that is the exact religion you will practice.

You were born without a religion in you, your factory reset has no religion in it. If you were to be a phone and they do factory reset on you today being a phone, there will not be anything found related to religion in your settings, files and file systems anymore; you learn religion only after your birth growing up.


Islam is idolatry and paganism, Christianity aswell is idolatry - All the world religion is idolatry, including all the Abrahamic religion. Holy communion is idolatory, bowing for a stone call Kaaba of the Bedouin tribes is also idolatory. licking of stone at mecca is idolatory, throwing of stone at pilgrimage is idolatory too.

Infact, Illah is what the Arabic call God and not Allah (the moon god). Allah was one of the diety been worshiped before the invention of Islam. That is why muslims will say something like "la ilah ila huwa" meaning Allah is one Illah (God). Have you ask yourself why Prophet Mohammed's father who was an idol worshiper and who lived before the invention of islam has Allah in is name Abdullai== Abdu Allah? It is because Allah has been an idol worshiped by paganists before the Prophet received his revelations.

All Abrahamic religion are idolatory, they only package them well and condemn your heritage as evil, whereas, Nigeria was better in terms of morality, honesty and integrity before they brought the foreign religions.

In peace loving, emotional intelligence, love for neighbor, respect for sanctity of life, we are even better than those who brought those religion with primitive leaders whose morality and characters are highly questionable.

This parasitic arrangement called "Nigeria" needs reorganisation.

These people are so relaxed destroying their own region using religion, poverty, IPOB and all other economic vices since "Nigeria" gave the assurance of them eating from where they have not worked.

Parasitism and arrogance at its highest display.

The Incompatibility of Sharia Law with Modern Society is very much glaring

Sharia law, rooted in medieval ideologies and interpretations, is increasingly recognized as inadequate for addressing the complexities and aspirations of the 21st century. Originating in an era defined by limited knowledge and rigid societal structures, its principles and applications often conflict with the progressive values of justice, equity, and human rights. For these reasons, Sharia law cannot effectively serve as a framework for modern governance or social organization.

Historical Foundations of Sharia Law

Sharia law emerged as a system of religious jurisprudence in the early Islamic world, drawing from the Quran, Hadiths, and the interpretations of scholars. While it may have provided order and guidance in the medieval context, it was developed in a time when societies were deeply hierarchical, and knowledge was constrained by the limits of that era. Many of its provisions reflect the values and priorities of a bygone age, rather than the universal principles necessary for contemporary societies.

Injustice and Inequality in Application

One of the most glaring issues with Sharia law is its selective and unequal application. In many instances, it disproportionately punishes the poor and vulnerable while sparing the wealthy and powerful. For example, theft might lead to severe punishments such as amputation for a poor individual, while those in power manipulate the system to evade justice. This disparity undermines the rule of law and creates a society where fairness and equity are absent.

Furthermore, Sharia law often enforces gender-based discrimination. Women in societies governed by Sharia frequently face severe restrictions on their freedoms, education, and participation in public life. Such practices are not only incompatible with modern ideals of equality but also stifle the potential of half the population, hindering societal progress.

A Tool for Control and Regression

Beyond its legal applications, Sharia law has been wielded as a tool for political control and expansionism. It is often used to enforce conformity and suppress dissent, leaving little room for diversity of thought or belief. In multicultural and multi-religious societies, its imposition erodes social cohesion and creates divisions. In Nigeria, for instance, the introduction of Sharia law in some northern states has exacerbated tensions between different ethnic and religious groups, contributing to instability and conflict.

Incompatibility with Modern Governance

Modern governance requires systems that are inclusive, adaptable, and based on universally accepted principles of justice. Sharia law, with its rigid interpretations and outdated provisions, fails to meet these criteria. Its reliance on medieval concepts, such as corporal punishment and gender segregation, is fundamentally at odds with the democratic values and human rights standards that underpin contemporary societies.

Moreover, the global challenges of the 21st century—climate change, technological advancement, and economic globalization—demand innovative and forward-thinking solutions. Sharia law, being steeped in the past, offers little in addressing these issues. Its application often leads to regression rather than progress, as evidenced in regions where its enforcement has coincided with stagnation and poverty.

The Progressive Model of Secular Governance

In contrast, secular governance models that prioritize human rights, education, and scientific inquiry have consistently proven effective in fostering development and social harmony. By separating religion from state affairs, such systems ensure that all citizens, regardless of their beliefs, are treated equally under the law. For societies like Yorubaland, which have a rich history of progressiveness and inclusivity, adopting secular principles is essential for continued growth.

Conclusion

Sharia law, rooted in false medieval ideologies, cannot serve the needs of the modern world. Its injustices, rigidity, and incompatibility with contemporary values make it an inadequate framework for governance and social organization. As humanity moves forward, it is crucial to embrace systems that prioritize equity, innovation, and inclusivity, leaving behind outdated practices that hinder progress. By rejecting Sharia law and affirming the principles of secular governance, societies can create a future that respects the dignity and potential of all individuals.

The Case Against Sharia Law in Yorubaland: A Call for Justice, Heritage, and Progress

Sharia law, while rooted in Islamic principles, raises significant concerns when viewed through the lens of justice, cultural preservation, and societal progress. Introducing Sharia law into Yorubaland—a region known for its rich heritage, diverse religious practices, and the deeply ingrained Omoluabi ethos—would not only undermine justice but also erode the cultural foundations our forefathers fought to protect.

A Mockery of Justice

Justice, at its core, must be fair, inclusive, and universally applicable. Sharia law, however, often operates as a system of exclusion and inequality. Its harsh punishments, such as stoning and amputations, are relics of a bygone era, incompatible with modern conceptions of human dignity and justice. Furthermore, its treatment of women—where their testimony is worth half that of a man’s and inheritance rights are unequal—mocks the principles of fairness and equality.

In a pluralistic society like Yorubaland, where Christians, Muslims, and traditionalists coexist, justice must transcend religious biases. Sharia law, by its very nature, cannot serve as a universal legal framework. Instead, it risks creating a tiered system where individuals are judged not by universal principles but by their religious affiliation. This is not justice; it is division masquerading as law.

The Erasure of Yoruba Culture and Heritage

Yorubaland is a region with a proud cultural legacy, grounded in values of mutual respect, communal harmony, and the Omoluabi ethos—a code of virtuous living that emphasizes integrity, respect, and responsibility. Sharia law, as an imported legal system, stands in stark contrast to these indigenous principles.

The introduction of Sharia law would erode the traditional practices and legal structures that have sustained Yoruba communities for generations. It threatens to replace our rich cultural heritage with a foreign system that does not reflect the values or aspirations of our people. The customs and traditions passed down by our ancestors are not mere relics of the past; they are the bedrock of our identity. Allowing Sharia law would be a betrayal of this legacy.

Inferior to the Omoluabi Ethos

The Omoluabi ethos is a moral compass that emphasizes justice, empathy, and communal well-being. It is a system that prioritizes the dignity of every individual, regardless of gender, religion, or status. Sharia law, with its rigid interpretations and punitive measures, pales in comparison.

The Omoluabi ethos fosters unity and inclusivity, while Sharia law often sows division by creating separate legal standards for Muslims and non-Muslims. It lacks the flexibility and humanity inherent in Yoruba principles, making it an inferior framework for guiding a diverse and modern society like Yorubaland.

A Tool of Expansionism and Control

History has shown that the spread of Sharia law is often driven by a desire for dominance rather than justice. Its imposition in non-Muslim regions is frequently accompanied by attempts to control cultural practices and suppress dissenting voices, even among Muslims who oppose its application. This is not justice; it is expansionism cloaked in the guise of religious duty.

Yorubaland’s diverse and vibrant society cannot afford to be subjected to a system that prioritizes control over coexistence. Introducing Sharia law would not only marginalize non-Muslims but also endanger Muslims who do not subscribe to its strict interpretations.

A Relic of the Past, Not a Path to Progress

Sharia law represents a step backward, not forward. In a world that values human rights, gender equality, and the rule of law, clinging to outdated legal systems signifies retrogression. Yorubaland, with its rich history of adaptability and progress, must reject such backwardness.

The future of Yorubaland lies in preserving its cultural heritage while embracing modern principles of justice and inclusivity. Sharia law, with its rigidity and antiquated practices, has no place in this vision.

Conclusion

Sharia law is not just incompatible with the values of Yorubaland; it is a direct threat to its cultural identity, justice, and progress. It undermines the Omoluabi ethos, erases the heritage our forefathers fought to protect, and endangers both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Yorubaland must stand firm in rejecting Sharia law, not out of animosity toward Islam but out of a commitment to fairness, unity, and the preservation of its unique cultural legacy. Let us uphold the principles of justice and progress that define our region, ensuring that Yorubaland remains a beacon of harmony and resilience for generations to come.
