As A Muslim, Why Don't You Support Sharia Law In Yorubaland? by Thormentor: 9:59pm On Jan 30
This is a very complex and complicated thing I really find hard to comprehend


I have seen far-right Yoruba conservative like Aare Kurunmi Kakanfo on X who is a Muslim going against establishing Sharia in Yorubaland for SW Muslim

Now , how will someone who believe in the Hadith not support Sharia in Nigeria?

What are the good things you can point to that has happened to the north especially zamfara that first implemented it? At the end of the day, sharia in zamfara ended up recruiting harden bandits and criminals that shari law can never be applied to. So, far there is nothing good you can point to in the north, such things can never be emulated. It only brings backwardness. Also, Islam is minority in the south west because christians and traditionalists out numbers Muslims, and Christianity remains the most populous of you factor in that Ondo and Ekiti are 85% christians while other south west states share nearly evenly.

In a family where father is a Muslim, wife is a christian and children are shared in faith. So, you want to use sharia to cut the hand of the father that is the bread winner of the house while others will be looking at Islam in good faith, right? Or christian husband should be looking as sharia cut his wife hands and threw eight children for him to care for, right? The idea should be dropped, it can't work in south west, they are more enlighten and educated people. Until the north shows south west how many governors and other political elites that are from sharia states and found guilty of embezzlement, alcohol drinks or other Islamic violations have been sentenced or stoned with sharia, then; south west can follow suit. Sharia is for the poor only, it should be ignored

I don't know your definition of tribalistic? My only concern is that you guys should stay away from Igbo affairs.
Why every time you all keep opening twitter x space to be discussing Igbo matter?
If not for Lord Lugard joining people of opposite cultural beliefs together, we are better as good neighbors and there will be healthy competition.

You people don't know Yoruba very well, I'm a Yoruba, and I know them very well; Yoruba are the most hypocritical in this country in politics, in religion, in social life, and in everything.

Those who are against the Shariah court in the West are Muslims who have nothing to do with Islam but bear a Muslim name. Those who will celebrate traditional worshipper today and go to church on Sunday and on Friday will go to the mosque, that's what they call hypocrites

Whether they like it or not, the shariàl panel will be inaugurated in the West. There is a difference between the Shari'a panel and the Shari'a court but hypocritical Yoruba Muslims and others that against Islam will not know when the inauguration starts, the hypocrites will be singing Sharia law has passed in South West

The noise started from Oyo inauguration to Ekiti state to Ogun state till every state in South West will inaugurate the panel.

I believe the battle can not be won on social media; we will win the battle through court as we won the battle of Islamic banking and hijab in the country.

So, you can continue to shout on social media where we will continue to make awareness to people before we win the battle. At least social media will help us with publicity, and some Muslims who did not know will know through social media publicity.

-Sharia is an Alien's Culture - Every group of people have a distinct cultural practice which is influence by their Language, Geographical location, Ancestry, Food, and Dressing code.
Yorubas already have a rich and vibrant culture. Only a people without identity or cultural heritage to protect will embrace an all-Arab Sharia practice which denigrate and abhor the culture of others.
If Physical slave trade is bad enough; Mental slavery through religion is worse - it's pure evil!
-Sharia is Retrogressive, Reprehensive and Anti-innovation - The Vision of the Southwest founding fathers is a society where Education, not Religion, will be our rallying force. Unfortunately Sharia, which sees western Education, innovations and indigenous development as Haram, is not in tandem with the dream of our founding fathers.
-Sharia is best practicable in a society where the Religious Leader also double as a Political Head.
The South West political system has a separate Political and Religious head. This is to avoid Tyrant and abuse of authority.
-Sharia in Yoruba land is a disuniting Force - It is a well-known fact that a typical Yoruba family can have a Muslim, Christian and Traditionalist all living in harmony as siblings. Introducing Sharia to settle dispute will easily tear such families apart!
If we have all agree to live and be bound by a common law, constituting an extra-judicial panel of sharia judge is just the fastest way to breach that bond and declare chaos.

lol you no wan loose your hand abi? Truth be told, it's just a matter of time, sharia will be in southwest. As far as southwest bow and allow sultan of sokoto to be head of Muslims in Nigeria instead of making that position rotational, one day it will be implemented. Fulanis don't give up, Ask hausas. Best for yorubas Muslims they should fight for that position of head of Muslims in Nigeria to be rotational since hausas are having issues with fulanis, they will support yorubas. Fulani destroyed north and they will do same in southwest if nothing is done.

Everything about Islam doesn't make sense.

1 their prophet marrying 12 wives
2 same prophet having sex with a 9 year-old while he was already 53
3. he married his adopted son's ex-wife
4 .he slept with many other women and paid them off
5. He supports beating your wife

All these show that he was a sex pavert yet people are still following such an immoral man's teachings. His quran is obviously an attempt to dispute the Bible which existed 600 years before his birth but what I can is ' by their fruits, you shall know them'.

Re: As A Muslim, Why Don't You Support Sharia Law In Yorubaland? by UncleAyo: 8:49am On Jan 31
Sharia law is a relic of the past that has no place in a modern and progressive society like Yorubaland. It is a system that promotes backwardness, undermines justice, and stifles cultural and societal development. Historically, the Yoruba people have thrived on their Omoluabi ethos—values of integrity, progressiveness, and respect for humanity. Sharia law contradicts these principles and threatens the foundation of our heritage.

The government must take a firm stand against individuals or groups advocating for the imposition of Sharia law in Yorubaland. It is crucial to investigate and monitor clerics who push this agenda, as many of them are likely influenced by external forces seeking to destabilize our region. These individuals should be held accountable, and where necessary, prosecuted, as their actions endanger the unity and progress of our people.

Clerics championing Sharia law should focus on meaningful contributions to society rather than exploiting religion as a means to manipulate and scam the vulnerable. Yorubaland has always been a beacon of innovation, education, and cultural pride, and we must not allow regressive ideologies to erode the progress built by our ancestors. Those who insist on practicing Sharia law are encouraged to relocate to regions or countries where it is already established, rather than impose it on communities that reject it.

The example of northern Nigeria, where Sharia law is practiced, provides a clear warning. Despite its implementation, the region has not recorded any significant progress attributable to the law. Instead, it has created a system of inequality, where the poor and vulnerable are oppressed while the powerful and corrupt evade justice. No northern governor or political elite has ever faced Sharia's full weight, exposing its inherent flaws and hypocrisy.

Yorubaland must stand united against the infiltration of these regressive ideologies. We must protect our cultural heritage, foster progress, and ensure that the Omoluabi values remain the guiding principles of our society. The future of Yorubaland lies in education, inclusivity, and innovation—not in the adoption of archaic laws that have repeatedly failed to deliver justice or development..

It is not ideal to have multiple laws governing a particular state or region.

Having both sharia law and constitutional laws in some states in Nigeria were badly thought decisions.

For sharia law to work in a state, it must be the only law available in that state and must be administered to everyone in that state irrespective of influence or status. That’s not the case in the northern states.

We’ve heard how several of politicians over there have been accused of public funds embezzlement, yet they are never tried in shariah courts.

Shariah law practiced in the northern states of Nigeria is all but hypocrisy and a tool for the elites to use to suppress the masses over there because that same law doesn’t apply to them.

We've always been too logical as a tribe and that's reason a peace loving Yoruba muslim would never entertain the thought of Shariah...
