We had predicted that the Sharia agenda was an attempt to islamise Nigeria.

I think that we can safely say that the lines are drawn! With the biafran territories going to be the only non sharia states;
So, fellow Biafrans, we must press on with our agenda, true we have our enemies on every side, some within and many outside, but we are united in this fundamental belief, that we must expel the beast of Nigeria from our territories.Friday, 18th January, 2002

MINNA — THE Supreme Council of Sharia in Nigeria has said the council’s immediate target is to work for the implementation of Sharia legal system in Kwara and Oyo States.

President of the council, Dr. Ibrahim Datti Ahmad said this during a courtesy visit to the Niger State governor, Engr. Abdulkadir Kure.

According to him agitation for the Islamic legal law had been high in the two states adding that all that is needed is for the council to facilitate the execution.

He said as an immediate step, the council will soon establish offices in Ilorin and Ibadan which are the capitals of the targeted states.

Dr. Ahmad also declared that apart from the states already practicing the Sharia legal system, the Islamic law will also spread to all states nationwide soon.

The body which was in Minna to express gratitude to the state governor, Engr. Kure for supporting the implementation of Sharia in his state said Muslims nationwide are behind him.

The president however called on former military heads of state, Generals Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar to join hands with the governor towards the implementation of the legal system.

according to him, "we want the two former Heads of State to face Sharia with the same level of seriousness they have shown to politics because the state is popular on the political scene and we hope the same will be extended to Sharia."

He lamented that out of all the former Muslim heads of state and present Muslim governors in the country, only General Muhammadu Buhari and Engr Abdulkadir Kure attended their function held in Kaduna recently.

In his response, Governor Kure pointed out that it is no more news that the Sharia law is constitutional and in line with God’s wish. He however regretted that even among the Muslims, many still don’t embrace the law.

"We are not worried because we know that there must be opposition; we have a focus; we know where we are going and we will go on systematically," Governor Kure declared.

He however remarked that since Islam is a religion of peace, all Muslims should make peace their watchword always.

Thank you for a wonderful thread. Once upon a time there was a "debate" at Egbeomo kick-started by Big Steve. This was my contribution.

The solution is balkanization. The agenda of the Jihadists has always been to dip the quoran in the Atlantic ocean. What we are witnessing is the manifestation of the crucial phase of that agenda. Why do we have arabic on our national currency? Why is Nigeria a member of the OIC?

Sharia/jihad has always been all about war and conquest regardless of all the effort to package the present arrangement as mild and exclusive. In zamfara now, it doesn't matter who you are but so long as you are a lady, then you are banned from wearing skirts. The Igbo man that was flogged for drinking a beverage of his choice is a none-muslim.

My main concern is that easterners are going to bear the brunt of it all again. With the popularity of Islam in yoruba land and the effort of the Adegbites and the Abiolas, the West has already capitulated and would be a willing ally for the Jihadists for the usual share of the plunder. How Balogun must loathe the present generation of Oduduwasites from his grave. That real man and true prince who halted the incursion of the jihadists into Yoruba land!. Who knows, maybe if he hadn't, Yoruba land would have been as backward as the North today.

I started with 'Balkanization' because I know that it is impossible for the easterners to accept/embrace a religion that offers a man a can of soft drink in exchange for his healthy limbs or that will place the whole responsibility of conception and pregnancy on a teenage girl without testing to prove the involvement or otherwise of the possible father. The jihadists are also conscious of this fact and that is why the only end can be disintegration.

Jihad divided Nigeria in the late sixties, and it is about to happen all over again, the only difference now is that it is going to be permanent. The era of cleansing, covering up and ruling is gone as Slobodam Milosevic has just discovered.

I hope we part amicably.

Beepee,
I agree with our brother Ohafia on this matter of shariaziation of the West in the future. It will be a piece of cake for the moslems.
Historically, Ilorin I understand put up one of the strongest resistance to the Jihadist, but it capitulated eventually and today, behold what a Muslim sattelite it is to the West and MidWest area of Nigeria.

You may be a Christian today, what about your children or grand children ? The power that be today with their muslim shade, have continued their economic captivity of our daughters through marriage. Also some of our sons through bread crumbs that fall from their tables are being enticed. Some are being coerced, others face their unpredictable sporadic violence etc. all in the name of some other reasons besides the real motive which Islamization.

We in the East and our siblings in the Delta do not want to go through all that. It is better for us to maintain our christian faith and pray for others who are yet to believe than to go through any of what we know that relate to sharia.

The Moslems among the people in the West and Midwest area will be the forerunners of the clandestine move. Remember it is the home rat that tells the wild one that there is a piece of fish in the storage cage in the kitchen. That is an Igbo proverb BTW. Think about it.
