Muslims Sentence Nigerian Polygamist To Death For Polygamy? by DeepZone: 6:40am On Aug 22, 2008 |
[size=14pt]Nigerian faces death for 86 wives [/size] Mr Bello Abubakar challenged Muslim scholars two weeks ago Nigeria's Islamic authority has told the man who has 86 wives to choose only four and repent within three days or else he will be sentenced to death. The Jamatu Nasril Islam (JNI) passed their verdict on Mohammed Bello Abubakar, 84, according to Sharia law. This comes two weeks after the Nigerian press and the BBC reported on the case. Talking to the media then, Mr Abubakar challenged Muslim scholars, saying there is no punishment stated in the Koran for having more than four wives. However, Mr Abubakar advised other men not to follow his example and marry 86 women. No limit The former teacher and Muslim preacher lives in Niger State with his wives and at least 170 children, and says he is able to cope only with the help of God. "A man with 10 wives would collapse and die, but my own power is given by Allah. That is why I have been able to control 86 of them," he told the BBC. Most Muslim scholars agree that a man is allowed to have four wives, as long as he can treat them equally. But Mr Bello Abubakar told the BBC: "To my understanding the Koran does not place a limit and it is up to what your own power, your own endowment and ability allows. "God did not say what the punishment should be for a man who has more than four wives, but he was specific about the punishment for fornication and adultery." Niger is one of the Muslim majority states to have reintroduced Sharia punishments since 2000. Several people have been sentenced to death for adultery by Sharia courts but none of these sentences have been carried out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7574757.stm |

First of all that man is not the father of all those children. Most of those women came to him already pregnant or even if they got pregnant afterwards it was more than likely not his child. I don't care what he is eating, a man that age cannot handle sex everyday and when you have 86 wives and want to keep them happy, you will pretty much wear your penis out to the "bone". I think most of the women are taking advantage of him and the silly man is believing that he is just gifted in the department of knacking. They should do paternity tests on those children and then trust me thaey will stonning quite a few people to death |

Psternity tests on 170 children? he shld just wipe out his bank account den |
Re: Muslims Sentence Nigerian Polygamist To Death For Polygamy? by tpia: 6:38pm On Aug 22, 2008 |
no, they shouldnt do paternity tests on the children. The man will use the excuse to throw his 86 wives under the bus and play the victim card. He will present himself as the victim of unscrupulous women who brought him other men's pregnancies. Thus drawing attention away from the main issue, which is himself. It doesnt matter who the real fathers of those children are, abeg. |

"What a man can do, a woman can do better" has been severely rubbished by this man. Can some woman show me a woman with 86 husbands (or even 86 wives)? There are so many things men can do that women cannot dream of doing! |

DeepZone: The shariarists are just as stupid as the legislature in Nigeria. No be the same hookworm infested "pure water" them they drink? They major in trivialities while folks are dying of hunger. They leave their governors and officials stealing their funds and legislate morality on an innocent senior citizenĀ who obviously is not harming anyone. The irony is that these shariarists will see nothing wrong if this man left all these women went out and picked 4 girls under the age of 8 and called them his wives. What a warped way of thinking. |

Queenisha:this sharia thing will sink this nation one day. cant a man be free to his thing? i think nairalanders should devise a means of pressurising every member of the legislature from our various constituencies to expunge sharia from the constitution and stop this national embarassment |

dgratrock: I wish it were that easy. These people are a big disgrace Of recent it's been one idiotic news or another from sharryland First it was amina lawal sentenced to death for fornication while the man went free for lack of evidence second it was the Miss world saga with fatwas placed on a jornalists head now they are calling for the death of a grandpa maybe something to occupy them until they find another pauper who deserves amputation |

Ivvie: Is that threat ? do your worst! For your information sharia is not a custom or culture, it's totally and exclusively religious The least you could do is get a little education on certain concepts before opening your mouth too wide. That old man has done nothing wrong. He's not molesting kids which ironically would have been aye okay with the same sharia. Grown women willingly became his wives. It should be his choice what he chooses to do with them. He's not harming anyone or is he? If you tell me Islam permits just 4 wives,then why on earth would the founder marry multiples of 4 ? In your twisted reasoning, Amina Lawal should have been stonedto death afterall, sharia sentenced her to death? But for God's grace and the intervention of sharialess societies,she is living. I bet that must hurt you and your like. |

Ivvie: I hope you don't think you make any sense. You don't. Turkish Iranian and Lebanese my calloused foot. what concerns them here when I'm talking about Nigeria ? I don't need advise from you. Make your point and move on and allow me to make mine. Reserve your caution to those who would appreciate it. I sure don't |

@topic, the man is uninformed. He is a muslim by name not a real muslim. He was right somewhere though. He was right to say that the quran did not specified punishment for marrying more wives. He was not alone in that kind of thinking. My sentiment is: must he wait to see the punishments awaiting offenders before he realises that it is for his own good? I wonder who told him that quran specified punishments for every sin. Maybe he need a new revealation to put him through. |

Who told you that polygamy is about AIDS? Please try differentiate between marrying many wives and having extramarrital affair with many ladies. |
Re: Muslims Sentence Nigerian Polygamist To Death For Polygamy? by timbabng(m): 3:05am On Sep 02, 2008 |
whats the difference, i'm sure it was extra-marital affairs that led to the 86 wives, maybe he's just lucky he doesnt have aids |
