Following a statement released by NSCIA advocating for the SW Muslim's right to having Sharia panel, Many Southwesterners have gone to social media to show their displeasure over the statement released.


The statement

LIVE AND LET LIVE!

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) —under the leadership of its President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alh. Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, CFR, mni- is particularly disturbed about the high spate of intolerance and disregard for the rights of Muslims, especially in the southern pan of the country.

The most recent of this is the development emanating from Ekiti state where the efforts of the Muslim community to set up an Independent Shariah (Arbitration) Panel was met with unwarranted resistance and objections from both political and traditional quarters.

This is coming barely few weeks after the announcement on the inauguration of a Shariah panel in Oyo State generated unnecessary anxiety thereby leading to its indefinite postponement. The Independent Arbitration Panel, which is a voluntary platform designed solely for the resolution of civil and marital disputes among consenting Muslims, was to fill the inexplicable vacuum created by the failure of the political elite in South-Western Nigeria to establish Shariah Courts, as allowed by the Nigerian Constitution, in South-Western states, despite the huge population of Muslims in the region.

This and other cases, such as the denial of the rights of female students to wear the Hijab despite a Supreme Court judgement, are nothing but calculated attempts to prevent Muslims in the region from practicing their faith.

Meanwhile, Arbitration and the Shariah Court of Appeal, just like the Customary Court of Appeal (which all of them have) are provided for in the 1999 Constitution amended) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (sec section 275), confirming the legality of both initiatives.

Okay

Since this made fp, let me copy my comment from a preceding post.

Here you go!

Yoruba don enter one chance.

Very smart game being played here,

Use an igbo Muslim to write your letters and communique to make it seem democratic where as same igbo Muslim lawyer can't lead them in prayers.

After the south West, next stop to set up shari'a law and court will be Imam Haroun Muhammad Eze Esq. Village in enugu state and then the entire south east. Ndi iberibe

Wallade:
sponsors of the move to install Sharia courts and system of government in the Southwest is manifesting now.

The Sultan of Sokoto and the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs is part of the plot. That plot will fail. Sharia is unwanted in the Southwest. There are courts in the southWest that can handle civil and criminal offences hence there is no lace for the primitive Sharia rules and punishment.

Any body in the Southwest that is not comfortable can go to the North where Sharia is practiced to stay and reside.

Do you know that if Sharia is allowed in the SW, it means the Sultan will be making laws for Yorubas.

Can the Ooni make laws for traditional worshippers in the North?

It seem sultan of sokoto is mad

Religion is a cancer, if we don't deal with it now,in no due time,it will consume us...

Shariah court and its law is dead on arrival in Yoruba land.

Tinubu and all the sw governors frowned at it. It’s dead on arrival. No form of shariah court and its law in Yoruba land

Prophet MNK S.A.W forewarned them in 2014 but they called him all sorts of degrading names. Some even asked for his head on a platter, now the prophecy is playing before their very eyes. Them no kuku born jagaban to oppose the caliphate.

See as them dey insult sultan

Tinubu really demystify fulanis


Even sultan dey collect from our Yoruba brothers

Ose akaria anụ Kánda

Sultan of Sokoto is only influential in his core Northern state. He has no business meddling into the SW affairs.

If we don’t care how the North choose to live their life, Sultan should respect his age and not ridicule himself more than this.

How can you say Muslims are marginalized in the SW, does marginalize have a different meaning in Hausa language?

Keep your mouth sh.ut, Sharia law isn't meant for the Christians how is that suppose to be a problem? You this illite.rate, always use your br.ain. we have christians and Muslims in southwest so live and let us live ode.

I am not religious though cus I am a freethinker.

Meanwhile, people should stop being hypocritical on matters like dis.

I am not supporting the Sultan though, but is it not the same Sultan almost all Nigeria Muslim wait for his pronouncement before they begin their RAMADAN FASTING?

RELIGION IS NOT OF GOD, SHUN RELIGION!

The same people insulting the sultan of sokoto in South west will still go back on their kneels to beg him

Na their way

The statement

Sultan of sokoto should try to understand we can't allow sharia law in the south west.

You recognizes him as the Head of Islamic supreme council...

You waits for his pronouncement before you undertook any religious obligation...


He now feels you're not getting enough..


That you should actually be kept holy and avoid having your issues resolve by "infidels"...


Why are you now attacking him?
Someone who cares for you?

Make it make sense...

Cowards will only do what they know how to do when it comes to the fulani Sultan. Silence .

Then turn everything to a quarrel with our neigbours from the East

- As long as Nigeria exists, Shariah law will be established in all South West states starting with that Ayo Fayose poverty-stricken state.

- All those Yooroba lazy youths venting on socials against Muhammad's righthand man, Sultan, should be very careful with their utterances.

Sultan abi na Satan, you no wan respect yourself abi.

Gradually gradually it is setting in. The people need to resist this.

No Fire!

Muslims have a right as well as others!

Inasmuch as our Hijab does not affect you, they still fight am we won!

Na Shari'ah wey no concern them remain now!

It's just a matter of time!

No one abuses the Sultan except an idolator or person wey no get father at home!

The states can create Shari'ah courts according to sections 275 and 277 of the constitution.

Once again na time remain!

They have conquered the SW like joke, like joke

APC agenda all along. Let's watch how it will end.

I wholeheartedly support complete implementation of Shariah

currently" listening to _sitting on top of the world - by brandy feat ma$e"

Leave Sultan alone. It's just business and he must be seen as having played his part .

Propagation of Sharia involves huge funding from middle-east Islamic extremists with access to oil money.

Sharia law when we have the constitution of this country Nigeria is a joke of a country I swear.

Yorubas and the Hausas/Fulani are birds of the same feathers... Nothing consign me now

The Sharia which is the grandfather of Boko HARAM today,in which millions of people have perished and Nigeria wasting enoumous resources everyday to combat. Yet, these thirty blood suckers never stop to advocate for it.

How is it possible to establish Sharia in a region, which is almost equal with 2 dominant religions?
The region where it has been established, what are the gains?
The reason why people lost common sense wen it comes to religion still not clear to me.
