Can a sharia judge become the chief justice of Nigeria? by senatordave1(m): 2:24pm On Jun 07, 2020 |
I wonder why the cjn tanko Ibrahim Mohammed is seen as only a specialist in sharia matters.that he studied Islamic law does not mean that he is not versed in other aspects of laws.the constitution has already made provision for the supreme court to have at least one or two judges versed in sharia,civil law,criminal law,maritime,constitutional laws etc.a glance at the profiles of all the judges in the supreme court will reveal that each of them specializes in one area of law or the other. In the absence of onnoghen,tanko was the most senior so naturally buhari had to appoint him as cjn.I wonder why he is derided and unjustly castigated.

Islamic law is based on Sharia law and so he's a Sharia lawyer or judge 1 Like |

senatordave1: Sharia court is a native law. Native law is what we now call Customary law. There are Sharia courts and Customary courts. Has Customary Courts advanced past its local structure as did Sharia, to become a regional practice? No! Lets not continuously blame North for preserving its culture and maitaining it in parallel with the British legacy. In South we do opposite. We erase our native customs and default to the British legacy. If anyone oppose we label them illiterates and backward. 1 Like |

philiancoop:stop talking nonsense oga!and ask a lawyer or law student to cure you of your ignorance because as a Sharia law student,you are not only studying Sharia law but also offering criminal law,land law,commercial law,constitutional law,legal system,banking law,jurisprudence and all other law courses.a Sharia law student studied combination of British law (common law/civil law) and Islamic law while a civil law students studied only British law(civil law or common law in some university I.e unilorin) 1 Like |

philiancoop:He is correct jare.that he majored in sharia doesn't mean all he knows is sharia.before specializing in Islamic law,he would have offered several other law courses. He doesn't even study only Islamic law in isolation. |

Sharia law is only recognized in the northern part of Nigeria; that's their jurisdiction and it's not even the entire north. Nigeria as a whole does not recognize sharia law. |

senatordave1: Was he supposed to be pampered for manipulating court judgements and foisting a clear election loser (who is very much aware that he lost) on the good people of Imo state? I'm expecting your usual gibberish as an APC ultra-zombie. I'm sure you won't disappoint. |

senatordave1: Yes but it's under religious/customary laws. But where these laws contradicts the provisions of the constitution, they become null and void as the constitution supercedes all. "(3) If any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution, this Constitution shall prevail, and that other law shall to the extent of the inconsistency be void." |

senatordave1: The constitution is clear about what should count as law that is legaly binding on all within its territory: Nigeria. It recognises other 'side laws' but will not tolerate a challenge. A sharia judge is wired for sharia laws; something that is different from constitutional provisions of the land. |
