OPPOSITION TO SUKUK: CAN IS PLAYING ‘DOG IN THE MANGER’
21st September, 2017
PRESS RELEASE:
OPPOSITION TO SUKUK: CAN IS PLAYING ‘DOG IN THE MANGER’

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) issued a press statement yesterday to protest against the Federal Government’s first ever
sukuk (noninterest lease assets facilities) which was announced last week. The statement which was dated 19th September, 2017
was signed by CAN’s General Secretary, Rev. Dr. Musa Asake.
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) considers CAN’s position demeaning. It is not only infantile, petty and overbearing but also
spiteful and egocentric.

Our position is based on the fact that CAN has all it needs in Nigeria today because the whole system is Christo-Western: education,
the judicial system, the economy, everything. Muslims who were deprived of all their Islamic landmarks and ways of life by the
colonialists are constrained to start the struggle all over again by demanding Shari’ah, use of hijab in schools, Islamic banks, sukuk,
etc. It must be made clear ab initio that Nigerian Muslims had all these before the advent of the British colonialists who changed
everything in favour of Christianity.

There is nothing the Muslims are demanding now that the Christians don’t have already on a platter of gold. It must also be stated
that the Christians do not need the things that the Muslims are asking for. Why should somebody keep blocking his brother from
getting his own share when he already has his own?

The fable of the dog in the manger is quite didactic in this regard. A British dog in the 13th century was fed with meat until its belly
was full. Then the owner took hay (dry grass which only the horse needed and it is useless to the dog) and gave it to the horse. The
dog had eaten and it was now the horse’s turn. Surprisingly, the dog started barking. It jumped on the hay and kept the horse at
bay.

‘Dog in the manger’ has since become an English idiom. We must now ask CAN why it is playing dog in the manger. Shari‘ah is not
for them but CAN screamed until the roofs nearly came down. OIC does not hurt any Christian but CAN shouted to high heavens.
Hijab is for female Muslims alone but violent envy pushed CAN to shout itself hoarse. Islamic bank is for Muslims alone but CAN
labeled it Islamisation of Nigeria. Can CAN give us a list of those who have been Islamised since Islamic banking started in the
country? CAN leadership has become a professional false alarmist, a dog in the manger.

To reject the existence of sukuk pari passu with Islamic banking is like demanding that the agricultural sector should operate without
bringing harvests to the markets or that hospitals should exist without pharmacies and laboratories. Having fought rigorously and
bitterly against the establishment of the Islamic bank in Nigeria without success, our Christian neighbours seek to strangulate Islamic
banks in the country.

We are constrained to ask, “How Christian is the Christian Association of Nigeria?” Every good Christian wants to be like Jesus and
he turns this idea of emulating Jesus to a song. We have no doubt that CAN leaders also sing the song. But how sincere are they
about emulating Jesus? Jesus says, “Love your neighbour according to thy self” (Mark 12:31) but CAN leaders do the exact opposite.
There are lots of good Christians in Nigeria and we interact very well but why must the petty ones always lead them? They are a
belligerent lot, warlike and aggressive. Have they ever seen Muslims opposing a benefit going to Christians? We did not protest when
you started going to Jerusalem even though we know that it is not mandatory for Christians. You enjoy Western banking system,
Western education, common law, etc without any protest from us. Why is it that CAN always cries foul each time we seek parity?
CAN’s claim that sukuk is unconstitutional is false, baseless and misleading. How can laws made by the Federal Government be ultra
vires? CAN is misleading Nigerian Christians. CAN should know what to do if it is unconstitutional. We challenge CAN to go to court
today. It should not wait till tomorrow.

This was how CAN deceived Nigerians in 1999 when it said Shariah was unconstitutional and MURIC challenged it to go to court.
They went to court of course but they beat a quick retreat. They withdrew the case when they found out the truth. But why heat up
the polity all the time when you have the means of finding out the true status of sukuk? CAN likes making noise and we are enjoying
our garrulous neighbour.

CAN calls sukuk a sectional religious financial policy but it forgets that the stock exchange has hitherto been monopolized by
Christian-oriented bonds for decades and the Muslims did not complain for once. CAN loves to permanently marginalize Nigerian
Muslims yet it is CAN that shouts ‘Islamisation’.

If it is true that sukuk implies Islamisation, then the stock exchange is imperialistic Christianisation. But almost the whole of Europe
has embraced the sukuk industry. This includes France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Luxemburg and Britain. Paris EUROPLACE established
sukuk as far back as 2007 and France has since established the Islamic Finance Commission. Germany issued its first sukuk in 2004.
That was 13 years ago. Ireland’s sukuk assets amounted to 180 trillion euros by 2010. Luxemburg started using sukuk in 2002.
Britain has been using Islamic banking since the 1990s and the Sanctuary Building Sukuk was launched in 2005. The United States
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency recognized the ijarah and mubarahah more than 30 years ago! But has America been
Islamised? According to Bloomberg LP, KFH Research, the global sukuk issuance as at 31st December 2013 was $135 billion but
grew rapidly to $2.004 trillion by 2016.

These are verifiable facts if CAN would eschew its armchair leadership style. Even Google alone is enough but CAN leadership will not
search. They are just interested in rabble-rousing and cantankerous razz-mataz. CAN should seek education. The Bible says “My
people perish for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). CAN should stop misleading Nigerians and inciting Christians against their Muslim
neighbours.

MURIC calls on Nigerian Christians to either ignore CAN or find out the truth by themselves each time CAN cries wolf. Afterall the
Bible asks Christians to “Investigate everything but hold onto that which is the truth” (I Thessalonians 5:21). Don’t allow anybody to
push you into violent behavior. Don’t allow anyone to make you hate your Muslim neighbour.
Let us eschew primordial sentiments. Sukuk is purely business. We advise Christians to take their destiny in their own hands instead
of allowing warlike leaders to lead them into unnecessary confrontation with Muslims every time. We invite CAN leaders to eschew
bitterness. We should be partners in lending the voice of reason to the national debate instead of constituting clerical nuisance to the
Nigerian nation.


Before we round up, we advise CAN leadership to desist from giving religion a bad name. The word ‘religion’ is from the Latin word
‘religio’ meaning ‘to link’, ‘to tie’ or ‘to bind’. Therefore religion is about linking people together in love and sharing. It is not about
dividing them. Religion is about love, forgiveness, tolerance, giving and taking. Let us be good examples for the young generation.
Our constant bickering has led to too many religious crises. It has pushed our followers to the precipice of war and instigated them
against one another. Why must we live together like two envious wives of the same husband when we should see ourselves as two
sons of the same father? This is the etymological essence of religion.

President Muhammad Buhari may resign if he does not recover from his ailment soon, sources have reported.
According to Independent, a Presidency source has disclosed that President Muhammad Buhari will pass the baton to his deputy, Yemi Osinbajo, if he does not recover from his ailment soon.

The President has been in the United Kingdom for the better part of the year treating an undisclosed ailment, much to the chagrin of a large part of the population, including a good number of his supporters.

Independent reports the source to have said, “The president is not desperate to cling on to power if his health cannot carry him. I can tell you authoritatively that he has given a timeline that if he doesn’t recover fully on a specific date, he will file in his resignation letter and if you know President Buhari very well, he meant what he said.

“That is why Nigerians who love the president and his efforts in restoring Nigeria’s lost glory should continue to pray for his quick recovery. It will be to our disservice if he dies as some people are wishing him”, he said.

Independent also reported another source as stating that before the President embarked on his May trip to the United Kingdom, he had wanted to dispatch a resignation letter to the National Assembly but a retired general from Taraba state prevailed on him not to do so.

Chief Ebenezer Babatope, former Minister of Transport and chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), said there was no need for the President to resign as the leading opposition party will prefer if APC brings him to re-contest election in 2019, so as to guarantee their victory at the polls.

“I don’t think we should compound Nigeria’s problem by asking for the president’s resignation. First of all, it is not of his own making that he is sick. All of us must have been sick at one time or the other. If we want to help Nigeria succeed, let us pray for him to recover and come back to do his job.

“We in the PDP are not bothered by his resignation at all. We are even praying that he should come back and re-contest in 2019 because we know that we are going to beat him. But it doesn’t serve anybody’s interest to ask him to resign. Those doing so are just wasting their time”, he said to Independent.

IkpuMmadu:
An Abuja Taxi driver, Sikiru Lamidi, who was arrested by detectives from Apo Divisional Police Station for allegedly killing a former Nigerian ambassador to South Africa, Ngam Nwachukwu, on November 24, 2016, has confessed to committing the said crime.
The suspect from Oyo State, was arrested at his home town where he was hiding after selling Nwachukwu’s Lexus SUV with Abuja registration number, YAB 938 MC to one Femi Adeyemi with forged doc**ents.
The 75-year-old ex-Ambassador reportedly boarded the Lamidi's cab on November 23, 2016 and in the course of taking him around informed him about his car which had a mechanical fault.
The cab driver then offered to take deceased's car to his brother, a mechanic, who could work on the car and it was decided that Lamidi would come to the ex-ambassador’s house the following day.
The driver reportedly showed up at the ex-envoy’s residence at Villa Nova Estate, Apo the following day as agreed.
According to Northern City News, the deceased lived alone and his security guard, who doubled as an electrician, was also not in the house during Lamidi’s visit.
Investigators stated that Nwachukwu offered the driver some food but he declined while sitting across from him at the dining table.

“As the man was eating, the suspect pounced on him and wrestled him to the floor and then stabbed him in the neck with a pair of scissors. He stole the plasma television and home theatre in the apartment and went away with the deceased’s Lexus SUV which he sold for N1.480m to one Femi Adeyemi with forged doc**ents,” an investigator said.
According to Lamidi, he didn't know what came over him, adding that he just found himself stabbing the septuagenarian until he died.
“After stabbing the man, I felt terrible and guilty but there was nothing I could do to reverse the situation,” he said.
After killing Nwachukwu, the suspect explained that he sold the TV and home theatre audio system to a seller of fairly-used products at Area 10, Abuja for N38,000.
He said that he kept the SUV in Sauka Village along Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road for two weeks before driving it to Oyo town.
The taxi driver said he gave the vehicle to one Okuta who assisted him in forging the vehicle doc**ents, adding that he compensated Okuta with N380,000 after selling the vehicle.
“Out of the remaining N1.1m, I bought a motorcycle for N180,000 and invested N500,000 in a cooperative society; I gave a car dealer N500,000 to assist me in getting a car, but he defrauded me and didn’t provide any vehicle,” Lamidi explained.
When asked if he had committed similar crimes before, the suspect denied, saying it was his first time.
“I have not committed any crime before; I blame the devil for this. Sometimes, I entertain negative or diabolical thoughts, but I don’t smoke or drink,” he added

In as much as I don't like dabbling into issues generated by imported religions, I couldn't resist myself from commenting on this.

Last weekend, the above news was reported in virtually all the nation's major newspapers and to date it has not been refuted.

I repost some extracts here.
The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Abubakar, has given details how religious leaders pushed the Goodluck Jonathan administration to change the status of Christian and Islamic subjects in school curriculum.

The two subjects, previously optional, are now core for students of respective faiths.

The government denies the allegation, saying it merely made Christian Religious Knowledge and Islamic Religious Knowledge compulsory for Christian and Muslim students respectively.

Speaking Friday at a National Symposium and Lauching of 2025 Vision by Da’awah Coordination Council of Nigeria, Mr. Abubakar, who is the head of the Nigerian Muslim community, urged the council to propagate Islam to non-Muslims in a non-combative manner.

“Tell people what Islam is; tell them why they should be Muslims and what difference it could make to their lives,” he said.

It is obvious that all Muslims denying the "Islamisation Agenda" are being deceitful because the intention is clearly stated in the Sultan's reported speech (which hasn't been refuted). Why does the muslims want to use public resources to propagate Islam to non-Muslims in a non-combative manner? When you're deceitful, how do you want me to trust you with your religious message and religion? If I want my child to know about a religion then I will sent him/her to a faith based school.

This particular policy is sinister and will not see the light of the day.

frenzyduchess:
its just a case of a dog going rogue on its owner,when boko haram started,they started with Christians.Muslims all kept quiet. They were even secretly happy.Muslim elites are the ones that have so far been fingered in sponsoring bokoharam,so where the tide turns,let them enjoy the company of lizards for the ant infested fire wood they brought home

ollah1:
So the bombing and daggering is done because of religion? If thats true, how come Mosques are bombed too? Another case happened and its on the front page. Besides, why is it happening only in the North? What made General Azazi die almost immediately he said "PDP is Boko Haram and Boko Haram is PDP"?

hemmagiz:
Though am not a member of winners...but what Are you saying.....woth all the incidents and everything from Boko Haram to Fulani herdsmen.....don't you know they re trying to islamize Nigeria.. ...having financial support also from Islamic countries....dont just say what you don't know... So that the wrath of God not come upon you...

fineboynl:
it's not just Nigeria but the entire world. every Islam boy or girl. man or woman have this course to forcefully islamized the world if the jihad will be successful. even if they don't want partake in it. they sure want it to come.

Xano:
There are posts by you on NL sympathetic to Muslims from few years ago.

I dislike people who sugar-coat the truth. We've experienced outright hatred of Northerners towards Southerners for decades. I among my close and not directly close individuals have experienced it too.

Southerners living in the North have learnt the various languages, not to integrate, but for security.

In Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Abuja, Taraba, Nasarawa, I've heard of kids as young as 12 years old(not to talk of 22 and above) discuss among themselves with disgust and at times smiling about Southerners.

Imams would not stop these evil planned for October 1st, because they fuel it in their various sermons in places in Abuja, Jos, Nasarawa, Jigawa, Kano, Kaduna, Taraba among other Northern states.

We, Southerners in North know.
Army, Police, Paramilitary would not provide security.

You among others here spin the truth, which is deceitful(evil).

ollah1:
In Nigeria, Muslims go about their activities without disturbances besides the northern region . Same can't be said about Christians everywhere. In your house, you are disturbed. On the streets, you are disturbed. In public buses, you are disturbed. In public places, you are disturbed. Yet it's the Muslims that needs to know religion is a personal race. Yet they want to Islamise Nigeria. C'mon. Think with open minds

zombieHUNTER:
must every Muslim suck up to the Fulani because I know you are from Edo state..
The Fulani have positioned a sultan in sokoto to oversee all Muslims in the country but it doesn't mean you will throw away common sense and sheepishly adore every footstep of the Fulani

PapaBrowne:
It's a no brainer to have two religions with very fundamentally different tenets been put in as one subject.

Even Muslims should be worried about this.

Whether true or false, it was a stupid antics by the President's handlers. Anything short of a video interview or message would not fly irrespective of the language. The whole drama was just a replica of the controversial Yardua voice interview of 2010 that achieved nothing.

Once the president is fully fit, he will return and we shall all see him. Yesterday's message was a very silly and unnecessary game that portrays the President's handlers as incompetent and desperate.
