@J_Chiemeke Very scary and eerie feeling.
This is a horrible feeling
Someone took my seat on a boat before while I was filling my details on paper
Boarded the next one only to find it capsized.
Thankfully only injuries and loss of properties.
I remember refusing to use ferry one week to me leaving Nigeria.
We no go see Akoba.
I once had a close shave, someone took my seat on a boat and it capsized.
Thankfully no one died
I moved back to my fam house 2 days before I left NG. Woke up and thief jumped our fence but got injured.
1day before japa? I had to pay boys for protection. Ema koba mi 😂
Hello. @bosuntijani, a structured, competitive market serving 40 million Nigerians is being dismantled and handed over to new players, while two Federal High Courts have ordered the regulator to stop.
This is the digital economy your Ministry oversees.
You people sha want to import northern extremism into the south west.
All these Spri Spri
Can’t see you using this it to condemn violence being meted out in the name of the same religion.
Na person wey dey take una serious.
Putting the Question of Sharīʿah in Yorùbá Land in Proper Perspective
Much of the controversy surrounding Sharīʿah in Yorùbá land is driven more by fear, misinformation and politics than by a proper understanding of what is actually being requested by Muslims.
The first point that must be clearly stated is that a full-fledged Sharīʿah legal system, in the sense of a comprehensive state-wide Islamic legal order governing criminal, civil and public affairs, is neither practical nor presently attainable in the multicultural and multi-religious context of Yorùbá land. The demographic realities, constitutional framework and religious diversity of the Southwest make such a project unrealistic.
Indeed, the overwhelming majority of Muslims advocating for Sharīʿah are not calling for the establishment of an Islamic state, nor are they demanding the replacement of existing constitutional structures with a comprehensive Islamic legal system.
What many Muslims have consistently requested is something far more limited, reasonable and constitutionally defensible: the opportunity to voluntarily access Islamic legal provisions in matters that directly concern their religious obligations and personal lives.
These include areas such as:
- Marriage and divorce.
- Inheritance and estate administration.
- Family disputes.
- Endowments (waqf).
- Contracts and certain aspects of personal transactions.
- Religious mediation and arbitration.
These are matters in which Muslims already believe they are religiously bound by Islamic teachings. The demand is therefore not for the imposition of Sharīʿah upon non-Muslims but for the accommodation of Muslims who voluntarily wish to regulate aspects of their personal affairs according to their faith.
This is neither unusual nor unprecedented.
Across the world, plural societies provide mechanisms through which religious communities can resolve personal and family matters according to their traditions, provided such arrangements operate within the framework of the law and with the consent of the parties involved.
Viewed from this perspective, Sharīʿah Panels are not instruments of domination but mechanisms of religious accommodation. They are comparable to mediation and arbitration systems through which citizens voluntarily seek guidance and dispute resolution based on shared values and beliefs.
The intense opposition to even these limited arrangements raises important questions.
If Christians may organise their affairs according to Christian principles, and if practitioners of traditional religion may organise aspects of their communal and religious lives according to their convictions, on what basis should Muslims be denied the opportunity to seek guidance on inheritance, marriage, divorce and related matters from institutions grounded in Islamic law?
To oppose a full Islamic legal state is one thing.
To oppose Muslims having access to voluntary Sharīʿah-based mediation and personal law mechanisms is something entirely different.
The latter begins to resemble a systematic denial of the legitimate religious rights of Muslims.
Equally troubling is the recurring attempt to portray every discussion about Sharīʿah as a "Fulani agenda" or an externally inspired project.
Such claims are historically inaccurate, intellectually weak and socially divisive.
Islam did not arrive in Yorùbá land through Fulani people.
Yorùbá Muslims are not recent converts.
They are indigenous sons and daughters of the soil whose ancestors have practised Islam for centuries.
The desire of a Yorùbá Muslim to distribute his estate according to Islamic inheritance law, contract his marriage according to Islamic principles or resolve family disputes according to Islamic teachings has nothing to do with Fulani nationalism, Fulani expansionism or any external ethnic agenda.
It is simply the desire of a believer to practise his religion.

Top guy 🙏🏾❤️
Your actual words not mine..
The context of the conversation was UK school girls and you said it would be oppression to actually call for regulations on it.
You called it policing school girls skirt.
Not minding the suitability and appropriateness of it
It’s “Oppression”.
I’m very convinced you didn’t read my tweet AT ALL!
@ayobamei Lmaooooo!!!
Present like mad!!
Hate-Watch is sooo sweet!!
Champions of Europe, you ll never sing that 🤣🤣🤣
Oremi!!!
You Dey dey house???
If you no pick my call I dey drive come your house now oooo
See you all at the parade tomorrow.
“Oppression”
“Girl CHILD” (Emphasis on the child)
They can barely sit comfortably in a bus, how would they cope at school.
They are still children. Either Boy or Girl. There has to be school regulations.
How does that become “oppression”?
An educated woman is asking the government to “put something in place” because she doesn’t like the length of skirt girl children are wearing.
The government does not oppress women and girls enough for you yet, you want them to police the skirts of school girls.
I’m honestly very intrigued when some of you speak.
maybe next year
@Anagazo 🤣😂😭
Sorry for laughing
@MrLewisVuitton You are trying to be ingenious but doing it poorly.
Two sides of one coin but you want to swear it’s only one sided.
You are parroting the same narrative bigots like you use.
“They are the cause of low wages”
“They are cause of housing shortages by not working”
Which is it?
So how about all those housings you lot said they took??
They don’t take the houses any longer??
🥴😂
Have you not seen 3 bedroom homes which have like 20 migrants living in them Lool just go to north London and you’ll see how shit their conditions are
@ManLikeLight_ No vex
I go DM am.
The two of you should shake hands jare 🤨🤨
Like I said
The conversation no suppose reach that level
Abeg no vex
❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hold am? She just dey waffle and I pointed it out and she say "I might have to block you" say she no be the cause of my problem. She dey craze ?
@MrLewisVuitton Yup.
The inconsistency in all your claims
One minute
Immigrants are not working and taking free housing.
Next minute
They are taking low wages and barely making a living by putting up with 20 people in a house.
Which exactly is it?
You would have to pick a struggle.
Both of you need to cut it out 🤨🤨
Why Una dey fight???
There are bigger battles than making enemies of each other.
If she no gree
Leave am 🙏🏾🙏🏾
That woman is a retard. She's crashing out both here and in my DM talking about imaginary battles .
I wasn't even dragging. Someone tweeted that immigrants were being treated as Kings and she said it's "boat people". I only told her they weren't treated as such and she dey ment
@ManLikeLight_ isn’t wrong.
The “good” immigrants rhetoric is a trap.
It gives racists who don’t care an idea that it is acceptable to abuse immigrants.
My wife didn’t do anything before she was abused at a bus stop.
You are not immune too
Your passport won’t be checked.
That's their problem i said what i have to say. Stop stressing yourself i am not your problem.

You are making a big deal out of nothing. 🤦♀️
@Uxor_O I don’t even blame them
Their govt indulges all these silly things and lean into such rhetorics.
And they can’t even say it’s a cheap and unlivable wage.
The lowest is over £33k outside London.
But of course
Immigrants are the reason they can’t find jobs.
One good example is the prison officer role that the government literally removed from the sponsorship list to encourage British nationals to take the job.
The prison services literally had to tell the government that if they don’t let them sponsor immigrants especially from west Africa they will have to release dangerous criminals back to the society because the system will collapse due to staff shortage and British nationals not applying.
