Nusaf:

Islam is a religion I hold nothing against and whatever laws that suit its Adherents. However, considering the assumed secular nature of Nigeria and more importantly, Kano in its mega-City status; I sincerely believe that a kind of corridor should be provided to accomodate those single ladies who for genuine reasons find themselves in Kano without any family(ies) but have to pass the night there.

Well, it is not completely correct to think that in the North unmarried couple don't pass the night together in a Hotel. If you have been to Damaturu, Maiduguri, Yola, Gombe town and couple of other Cities, you will agree with me that the South is not having exclusive right to such claims you made against them.

Don't mind them. Who patronizes those prostitutes in Lahadin Makole?

Pretence all the way!

.So if I am on official tour I should come & borrow you abi?

Don't be silly, you hear?

If you are beautiful why not ibrahim at your service

iyb:

Thats true but most are what will take a reasonable woman to go and stay in a hotel alone

haba bros, how can u sound that way, if not Hypocrisy, why not go 2 big standard hotels a chase their customers away, just misbehaving in d na name of Religion.

oc2fish:




Means if everyone visiting south must eat pork. It is a southern thing two HAha lobatan.

big fat lie. I used to live in Nigeria, South Western Nigeria and pork wasn't the main staple. I even have Christian friends that find pork meat repulsive . Tell me another lie

glossy6:


I don't think that it has been there because I slept in a hotel alone when I went to Kano some years back on official tour

What year was that and how old were you then and who made the booking, and what was the nature of your job and your visit, then the location and rating of the hotel N.B don't confused it for brothel.

Did u observe any offensive word in his narration? I quite agree with his views but since u are bringing the issue of patronage, then certainly, ur 'business' must have been negatively affected. Why not look for better job, dat one no be work oh! Ur grammar is not even polished and u can't just hide urself.

justkebir:
Many are without religion that's y day are talking like this..

A good move to avoid fornication and adultery



This are some of the reason. A nation don't succeed..too much sin.

We. All.know what happened to people of lot abi na lut una day call am for sodom and gomorah.

Let's be fair in our judgement
.

I think this world will be a much peaceful place without religion

Integrityfarms:
I think the North deserves their own nation!

What sort of undue intrusion to privacy and fundamental human right abuse Is this? In this modern world

Whats stopping you?
You can waka comot and be by yourself, nobody will miss you.

Nusaf:

The most important thing is that information has been passed across. This is Nigeria. We are neither Americans nor English.

That's your level. What is worth doing is worth doing well. When you can't do a thing, hire a professional and stop encouraging yeyenatu

Gboliwe:

Some foreigners working in this country can't speak good English but they still carry out their jobs according to specifications. Will u say they are quacks? What is most important is service delivery. U are also quick to say that that is my level. Which level are u in life? U think u are enlightened. Well, I don't know u and I can't be that stupid to assume any level for you.

I stand corrected but I just checked out of a hotel yesterday around Nasarraw GRA, spent a month there because of the nature of my job and I did not experience any of such. First time in the North and really it is not that bad.

kennysteve77:
The government should have simply banned hotel business instead of the undue infringement on rights and unfair treatment for the female gender.

Its not the government but the hotel proprietors themselves, this should be quite evident from the uploaded copy of the promissory undertaking which the guests are asked to sign; note the lack of reference to any specific law as you might have expected had such existed.

Many hotels do not want high profile activity of prostitutes because it undermines their image and ward off respectable clients and take it upon themselves to sanitize their business image.
I am sure even Lagos or Abuja Hilton would not want prostitutes to be freely moving around within the corridors of their hotels.

The heading of the thread did not help as it was quite misleading; it should have read 'Unmarried Couple Not Welcomed In Most Hotel Rooms In Kano, because the hoteliers were clearly appealing to prospective male customers not to share rooms with women other than their wives; rather than directly banning single women from securing such rooms for themselves.

Some of the reactions in this thread are quite Pavlovian, especially from bigots who clearly could not hold themselves from their usual vitriol against the north and the religion of Islam.

To them I would like to ask this question, " what state in Nigeria and in most so called advanced countries including America where you do not have police raids on brothels, hotels and notorious targets of prostitution? Why then the double standards against Kano simply because such raids may have involved the Hisba; is prostitution legal in Nigeria; why then should a state such as Kano not put in place measures that could at least attempt to curb such illegal activity?
Lastly, should Kano hoteliers not feel free to adjust their standards in line with the cultural norms and value of their ppl - why is this so difficult to understand?

ireneony:
I yet na their women fuccck pass.

Maybe true and hopefully with their husbands but not as Oloshos as dem pack full for una side.

Pavore9:


So a single woman can longer travel far away from home and get a temporary accommodation in a hotel while she is in a new place ?

Single women are free to travel and can lodge in most hotels in Kano without any hassle especially if their mission is transparently obvious they are not there for prostitution - there is no law stopping them doing so.

You are quite correct.
Some ppl simply like to exaggerate and misrepresent for their own negative agenda.

Nassarawa my turf the hotels there are top notch is it tahir guest palace,nimah guest palace, nassarawa guest Inn,Prince hotel, durbar hotel, sultanate suites, ksuites hotel

nuradeen011:
Frm most of the comment i read here, i just learned that most of the people here lack modesty or they mis interprete the word but the only truth is that there are singles and there are prostitudes this is why u have to present credible evidence b4 u are given a hotel room

So let me get something straight. A single woman has to provide credible evidence that she is not a prostitute to stay at the hotel but a man who brings in a prostiitute to the hotel doesn't need to bring credible evidence. All he has to do is just sign her in as his wife.

Nusaf:
Pls allow the northerners. At least, morally, they are still better than the southerners. How many hotels in both north and south can you find oloshos from the north. They exist but not many.

Is not that the point of this post?
I am looking for accomodation to rest my head and you're talking national issue mtchewww.

pinceprinz:
Well, as long as the prostitution business haven't been made legal in the country, I believe this modus operandi of law enforcement agencies ain't bad.

BTW, its a Muslim North where Sharia holds ground. So anybody that has problem with their culture over there but is wont to visit/stay should just bear it in mind that when you're in Rome , behave like the Romans... lobatan!

That's why no one likes sharia. Its intolerant and exclusionary in nature. Is that the face of "The religion of Peace" you want the world to see?

mukhtara446:
what we believed is that if you contributed in any form of adultery anyway you will have a portion of sin to prevent that you give your instruction of your hotel if he sing it he agreed with the term and what ever he did it's on his head not yours

Then let the women's own be on their head too. Stop making life hard for all women, both those who do and don't do.

I wonder oo, bro, which reasonable woman can go and stay in a hotel.

Please when ur sister or any of ur female fam. members comes to Cali 4 business, they should come and stay in My house.

iyb:

If you check you will see that I said if she present an official letter from her workplace there is no problem and yes single ladies have no business in hotels we don't allow our ladies to goto hotels hausa man will rather she quit the job if it involves a lot travelling and lodging in hotels.
It is just the way things are in the north

It's not only Hausa people who live and work in Kano. And if they're really serious about this issue then they would stop the hotel business totally. Because no prostitutee will use her own money to pay for a hotel room. Its usually their male customer who does this. In other words should we also ban the men?

And some married women would go in disguise with their lovers as couples and they will allow them. Senseless law.

iyb:

Last I checked your people have the highest number of rapist you can say that northerners marry young but we don't molest

Marrying a child is molestation in case you don't know. According to Universal laws; a child cannot consent to a sexual union.

Nusaf:

OK get it clear. In Islam, men and women that are not married to themselves are not allowed to mix when it can be avoided. These hotels are being lodged by men and women thereby allowing such and is not as if it is unavoidable. But in the south, a man and a woman not married to themselves may even decide to lodge in the same hotel room in the name of saving cost, that is your choice. Prevention is always better than cure.

Why don't you create separate quarters for the sexes.

Nusaf:

And in addition, ladies are treated with respect in the north unlike in the south where they compete with their male counterparts for survival.

What sort of respect? You mean the respect of a dependant that can be ended in Talaq! Talaq!! Talaq!!!

Nusaf:

English is our lingual franca. If one can't be fluent in that then its just shameful.

intolerant? the question is what is it not tolerating? social vices? I'll go for it please..

Exclusionary - Well I think this principle is the exact sedative to calm the already highly neurotic and toxic society and treat our sick cycle psychology in desperate need of psychiatry. . . Our psychiatry? ; Following the rulings of the Mightiest Monarch to the letter. Emphasizing 'to the letter', our North is still found wanting.

Even with all the raids happening in America, dem no born their religious and civil rulers well make dem implement such a law. It leads to blanket discrimination. Just imagine if America started refusing Muslims entrance into their country because of terrorists? What of all the Muslims who are not terrorists.

Yes they're free to adjust it. But their freedom ends where mine starts. Its a democracy. I am a woman who travels around Nigeria alone. Do you see the conflict?

why "most"? Why not all?

okrote4real:

Why do you say the law is senseless? Because you don't like it? Do you even comply with any law?. If u choose to live a lawless live, why condemn one who chooses to live a lawful one? These laws cannot completely eradicate promiscuity but it controls it.
