I commend them for the punishment but I think what is good for the goose is good for the gander.if you want to chop hands lets chop hands equality in application of law is important.in saudi about 10 years ago they chopped the head off a prince and stoned the woman for adultry equal application

The nigerian police and prisons officers have no mandate to carry out these orders they are subject to federal law not state law

This sharia thing might spin out of control.Why did youths in kano burn a truck load of beer belonging to a non muslim was he compensated.Beware the fanatics are rearing their heads maitasine again.

Scratch your head harder to get rid of the lice. When last did you take a proper bath?
You should've known that your crappy ablution with a small kettle is not enough.

You control the land, you jail the leaders, you control the resources etc etc....Then why are you guys so backward? The only cities in the North that are inhabitable eg kaduna and Jos was built by guess who? That's right, the Igbos. You haven't said anything about the astounding illiteracy in your neck of the woods. Hahaha seems we're dealing with a beneficiary of the nomadic or namadick education.

my muslim friend why do you display such ignorance on line.This is the problem with nigeria we have a lot of half educated northerners ruling us if you do not understand the way gov functions you should take time to read and understand it.this is not complicated.the nigerian democracy is very similar to the US but the police and prisons are under federally controled.did you not read about the federal gov refusing state police because they are afraid of the gov's miss using power.

Now the idiot that talked about the control of power by the north I can only say you can only kick a dog for a time before it turns to bite you.You say it with such pride they have done nothing .now you can keep your sharia but eventually the truth will prevail and we will see how the desert barren north will survive.

How about the quota system allocated to the citizens of northern Nigeria? The quota system was designed to help the backward and illiterate northern Nigerian nomadic moslems in an "attempt" to follow in the niche of the proven intellectual superiority of the Biafran in the Eastern part of Nigeria. With this in mind, the continuous allocation and enforcement of this quota system, is it a testimony of your "superior" intelligence? Have you, the "superior" cattle rearing savages, caught up yet with the Igbo/Biafrans after 33yrs of doling out quota jobs, schools, scholarships, housings, and other freebes?

Does it show "superior" intelligence to crutch idly by the road side begging the Biafrans for crumbs in your northern enclaves? What about your chronic jealousy of Ndigbo/Biafrans which drives you to steal their properties and murder them in cold blood in northern Nigeria? Is that "superiority"? How come you haven't brought your islamic jihard to the Biafran enclave? If you're superior as you claim, you would have islamicized the Biafrans since your 33yrs of looting and "ruling" Nigeria. Gini ji nwankita onwu? (what's preventing the puppy from death?), I ask you.

A backward nomadic savage with a twisted mouth, talking about superiority. Ha!
Your syphilis-infested mallams, emirs, alhajis, and imams...your coconut head intellects who "ruled" Nigeria for 33 yrs. What has Nigeria got to show for it? The most corrupt and backward nation on earth, the most fraudulent nation in the world, the most chaotic and crime-infested country on earth, and the most lawless nation in the world, no thanks to your evil leaders like Abacha, Babangida, Abubakar, Buhari, Shagari, Gowon, Yakubu Danjuma, and the horrible list goes on. To a backward, child-molesting, blood-thirsty, uncircumcized, disease-infested, and filthy satanic sodomite like you, it is called "superiority".

Your thiefy gigolo imams at the mosque gives you hashish, send you out on a rampage of innocent souls, and tells you that you'd be rewarded in paradise (Mecca, Saudi Arabia) with 70 virgins for sexual affairs, you swallow it line, bait, hook, and sinker! Geez, is that what you call "superiority", you robotic empty headed no-brainer?

You have borne witness to the fact that no amount of Biafran oil used to educate any awusa/fulani savage, albeit, thru quota system, will ever make him civilized or acceptable among civilized human beings. A savage ape will always be that...a savage ape.
So the tiny weeny four walls of a classroom you managed to glimpse with your evil blood-shot red eyes where the word "superiority" was mentioned in synonymous with the Biafrans, makes you halucinate about ever playing catch-up with the Biafrans! Fa fa fa foul! Not in this life time of yours nor the next and other subsequent next.

You keep thumping your chest about this so-called rulership. You are the rulers, killing (yes, don't keep that out of the laundry list), jailing, taking over government by force etc. etc.

But ask yourself, who makes all the money? Who gets all the good education? Who gets all the good health care? Who builds and lives in the best homes? Who owns all the industries? Who are the heads of all the solvent corporate entities? Answer these questions. But however hard you try, the answer won't be the naked Koma Hills dwellers. Take a trip to any Igbo town and you will go shoot all your leaders. Leaders who would import sugar in order to stultify the sugar industry in Nigeria in spite of the fact that the favorable agroecological zone for the crop is in the North. Leaders, indeed!

The last time I checked the second "B" in IBB meant Badamosi which is not Hausa. Could this also be along the lines of Celestine Babayaro, Tijani Babangida, etc.? I dey laugh una. Also, in IBB's command performance ceremony in '86, his wedding picture was broadcast nationally. It was a Christian wedding. Your leaders, my foot.

You may have the isolated Babangida’s, Abacha’s, Dangote’s, etc. here and there but as feudalists, they care scant nothing for the talakawas hence no schools, hospitals, industries to employ people etc. All the money to Swiss Banks: what sound Economics. On the average, the northerner has had it rougher under these your leaders than the Igbo man. We have learnt to take care of ourselves hence all the progress that you see in spite of the strangulation. While its OK for you to take pittances from your feudal masters, we do not take handouts.

The grouse we have is not physical: we live well and take care of ourselves. It’s more of an emotional thing, psychological. If you find it hard to understand (which won’t surprise me), recall that though the average Black South African lived better than the Nigerian counterpart, we still contributed in cash and kind to free them from the minority racist regime. It’s the same thing we are about now. If this were not true, why have your leaders gone as far as positing that education be stopped in the south for ten years so you'd catch up? How pathetically comic.

Each time a Hausa or Tiv man gets a little education, he thinks he is thereby as good as the Biafrans that brought the education to him.

Obasanjo has opened pandoras box and the conseqences are going to present themselves.
Wait until bauchi state expolods then the snow ball effect.We are on the verge of a religious war which will make the sudan look like childs play.

Bature you need to stop the fanatics in the north from trying to destabilise the rest of the country they are over stepping their bounds.

Our born again president needs to stop these state govorners from oppressing none muslims and he needs to stop FRCN from being ethnic.

Congrats to nigeria we Number 1 in prostitution in Italy 1 in corruption and 1 in stupidity now we need a white man to run nigeria airways while we have many competent easterners to do the job.

PROMINENT Islamic leaders under the aegis of Jama'atu Nasir Islam (JNI), have begun discussions with Governors of Sharia States,. On how to implement the Islamic legal system without infringing on the fundamental rights of non-Muslims.

Members of the apex Islamic body in the North had to embark on the exercise following incessant accusation by non-Muslims of intimidation by the governments of those states where the Sharia legal system is being implemented.

Specifically, the national chairman of the JNI, Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Maccido, in a statement issued in Kaduna yesterday, noted that the peace mission had already begun to bear fruits because of the cordial reception accorded the delegation of JNI by all the governors of states visited".

The delegation, led by the Secretary-General of JNI, Alhaji Abdukadir Orire was said to have had useful discussions on how ensure peace and cordiality among both Muslims and Christians in Sharia practicing states, without any molestation.

According to the statement signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of JNI, Mallam Umar Ahmed, the states already, covered by the delegation of the Islamic body include Sokoto, Katsina, Adamawa, Gombe and Taraba.

Said he: "While on the mission, the delegation had useful discussions with leadership of many Islamic leaders and Christians, introduced and explained a book on the need for understanding Sharia, the Islamic Jurisprudence. The members of the delegation also had useful discussions with the Governors of the states visited".

Besides, Ahmad stated that while commending the level of success already achieved by the peace mission, Maccido pledged that the JNI would continue to emphasize the need for religious tolerance and understanding among all Nigerians.

"The Sultan of Sokoto expressed the hope that the team should be given similar reception when it embarks on the other states of the federation soon", he said.

Particularly, Macido expressed appreciation for the roles played by the Shehu of Borno, the Emrs of Gwandu, Kano and Katsina on the peace mission.

Also commended were Lamido of Adamawa, Emirs of Bauchi, Fika, Hadejia, Daura, Argungu, Kazaure and the Shehu Dikwa.

KADUNA — FORMER Head of State, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) vowed yesterday to continue to fight for the full implementation of Sharia throughout the country.

He also accused unnamed foreign powers of engineering moves to frustrate the smooth take-of of the Islamic legal code in Nigeria.

Gen. Buhari who spoke in Kaduna as the guest of honour at the first national convention of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN) therefore appealed to Muslims to discard their fears and press for the full implementation of the law throughout the country.

Said he: "For Muslims in Nigeria, as I mentioned at other occasions at least twice, we were overrun by colonialists and our way was drastically changed. One of the things we lost for being overrun by the colonialists is for us to be denied the freedom to practice our religion as it is or as it was and as it has always been.

"But God in his infinite mercies, brought this independence back to us through a democratic system of government."

The former Head of State noted that "what remains for Muslims in Nigeria is for them to redouble the necessary education," on the necessity to promote full Sharia in the country without fear.

"It is a legal responsibility God has given us within the context of one Nigeria to continue to uphold the practice of Sharia wholeheartedly ... and to educate Muslims that they have nothing to fear because the biggest fears of Nigerians are three insecurities that I identified a very long time ago," he stated.

Gen. Buhari observed that the Federal Government had lost its battle against physical insecurity. "The government has failed in this respect to do two basic and fundamental things for all persons within a state, particularly the protection of life and property," he said, arguing that the introduction of Sharia law in some states in the North had had a positive impact on the fight against crime in such states.

Gen. Buhari admonished Muslims not to give in to pressure from outside forces and abandon the call for Sharia.

"This is the sacrifice Muslims will have to make and persuade their fellow countrymen who are non-Muslims to accept," he said, saying: "I will continue to show openly and inside me, the total commitment to Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria.

"God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia legal system in the country," Gen. Buhari vowed.

There is no dobout in my mind that Buhari behavior is a result of politics of exclusion and isolationism.He is no longer in power and misses the rule of a gun. He was the blood tasty leader of the goddamned country for reasonable years but lacks the simple law of economics. His idea of law and order which he missed so much was through the barrel of the gun, threat and the use of it. In his speech, he made no mention of basic needs of the people during his time rather emphasized on sharia and security. You cannot provide security, by maintaining law and order and ignore basic life necessity. They go together. He also fails to understand that you cannot rule a country of diverse culture with fear and intimidation. That brings me to sharia. If sharia is not a poor man's religious law, why is Buhari still free from public humiliation for economic deprivation and social nimics that has debased Nigeria as a whole and the people [moslems]he speaks for?

If this man is not a lunatic which I believe without reservation, based from his vision of one Nigeria then that cursed nation is yet to witness a much more hell than the civil war. This time it is about religion and that has always been stronger than tribalism especially when both are blended for full blown economic war. The looser as always will be the North. They are deemed to be lazy and parasitic/gutter race.

The Nigeria, I personally envision is that which is separate but equal, That which is Biafran.

Hail Biafra

It's interesting that Buhari wants to "implement" his sharia thru out Nigeria now that he's realized that the West has pulled away from their tacit aiding and abating of the north in despotic misrulership of Nigeria and the pilfering of Biafra oil. I could care less if Buhari is converting the north and west of Nigeria to his sharia. Even in his hashish/cocaine suicidal stupor, he knows that Biafra is exclusive of his sharia conversion halucination. Should he attempt to make such mistake, the entire north will be swiftly made desolate...ie, devoid of any living northern soul.
