No one panics and have deep insecurity about marriage like men that fuck around.

They have slept with girls they were dating, they have slept with other people’s girlfriends, they have slept with every woman in skirt and now, every girl they intend to marry, they’re conflicted that perhaps, she has slept around.

[Elnathan John @elnathan_john]

Repeated claims like this show how little Nigerians know about their own country. There is enough scholarship on these issues to not make broad and widely debunked claims like this.

First: The claim that the almajiri system functions as a conveyor belt to terrorism and banditry is contested by the most rigorous scholarly work on the subject and there is the work of Dr. Hadiza Kere Abdulrahman @dj_kere whose doctoral research "The Men They Become": Northern Nigeria's Former Almajirai: Analysing Representational Discourses of Identity, Knowledge and Education (2018), involved years of fieldwork and direct engagement with former almajirai. Assuming I read her work correctly, she found that the mainstream representation of the system (which has been repeated in the tweet below) is only "one possible set of articulations and that alternative meanings exist." Other research she has done found no operational extension of say Boko Haram in almajiri Qur'anic schools, and that almajiris themselves "vehemently rejected any moves to join Boko Haram activities." @dj_kere has also argued that the almajiri system's deterioration, is a product of colonial disruption and post-colonial governance failure, not an inherent feature of Qur'anic education itself.

Even in the case of Boko Haram, where the almajiri connection is most often asserted, the evidence does not support a direct causal line. We have the work of @HannahHoechner for example. She has argued in this piece here (https://t.co/XuohhpnSfN) about this. In the article she mentions that "correlation is not proof of causation: That almajirai joined does not automatically mean that almajirci made them join." There is also the 2017 paper, "The Almajiri System and Insurgency in Northern Nigeria: A Reconstruction of the Existing Narratives for Policy Direction," where research shows that "the Almajiri system in itself does not radicalize the Almajirai cohort," but that decades of bad governance have produced a large, alienated, and economically destitute youth cohort who become targets for recruitment — a crucial distinction between vulnerability and causation.

Meanwhile, Boko Haram's founder, Mohammed Yusuf, was not himself a product of the street almajiri system: according to Hussain Zakaria (for example in the US Institute of Peace report "Why Do Youth Join Boko Haram?", 2014), Yusuf had the equivalent of a graduate-level education, having studied theology at the University of Medina in Saudi Arabia, where he absorbed Salafi-jihadist ideology from transnational networks — not from classical Qur'anic schooling.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the conflation of Fulani banditry with the almajiri system is especially unsupported. There is ample research here. For example, in "The Other Insurgency: Northwest Nigeria's Worsening Bandit Crisis" (published in Security and Defence Quarterly 2021), the research establishes that that northwest banditry is driven by land-use conflict, Fulani pastoralist "grievances" (quotes mine- you can call it something else), climate-driven competition over grazing routes, and governance collapse — not by Qur'anic schooling of any kind.

Added to that, the Fulani ethnic militia phenomenon has its own distinct social base. If you read the War on the Rocks analysis by @jh_barnett and Murtala Rufai, they have noted that "the majority of bandits have shown little interest in adopting" jihadist ideology, with alleged cooperation between bandits and jihadists being "less meaningful than many observers assume." You can read that analysis here: https://t.co/YM22c3fPhn

As for Boko Haram's actual membership profile, the documentary record points in the opposite direction from the almajiri narrative. Again I urge people to read the USIP report "Why Do Youth Join Boko Haram?" of 2014 which documents that as early as 2004, "students, especially in tertiary institutions in Borno and Yobe states, withdrew from school, tore up their certificates, and joined the group." This account is corroborated by Human Rights Watch in "They Set the Classrooms on Fire": Attacks on Education in Northeast Nigeria (2016), which records testimony of a local imam urging believers to destroy their educational documents, with university graduates complying publicly. @HannahHoechner's own work confirms that "some members of the group used to be university graduates who tore their university certificates at the beginning of the Boko Haram propaganda" — a fact that fundamentally complicates any simple narrative linking Islamic street education to the rise of the insurgency.

Please people, read, read, read. Especially at a time like this when people are angry and making broad claims.

[HARBSART🇳🇬🇵🇸 @harbsart]

Them go won wynn you with long write-ups, but no panic, they often rely on confusion, not clarity.
The foundation in this matter is not emotional, nor modern reinterpretation, it’s Usul (established legal principles) agreed upon by the scholars of this Ummah.
Among those principles is the well known principle:
كل سلف جرّ نفعًا فهو ربا
Every loan that brings about a benefit is riba.
This is not a weak or isolated statement, it is a juristic maxim derived from the evidences in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and the scholars have accepted its meaning across the schools of jurisprudence.

Now understand this carefully:
A loan (سلف) in Islam is an act of benevolence (إحسان), not a transaction for profit.
The moment a conditioned benefit is attached to that loan, it transforms from charity into exploitation.
That “benefit” (نفع) is not restricted to large or oppressive increments, it includes any stipulated increase, regardless of its size, label, or structure.

So whether it is called interest, service charge, administrative fee (tied to the loan) or percentage return, If it is a guaranteed increase over the principal due to the loan itself, then it falls under riba without dispute.
As for the claim: “modern banking interest is different” this is not a new argument. It is simply a repackaging of an old موقف rejected by the scholars.
Because the reality does not change with terminology.
In Jahiliyyah, they said: “Increase the time, and we increase the amount.”
Today, they say: “Take the loan, and pay back more over time.”
The structure is the same. The essence is the same. Only the language has changed.

And the scholars have established:
العبرة في العقود بالمقاصد والمعاني لا بالألفاظ والمباني
Consideration in contracts is given to meanings and realities, not to wording and forms.
So no matter how sophisticated the system becomes, no matter how many economic theories are written,
no matter how “necessary” it is claimed to be, A loan that guarantees an increment remains riba.
And this is why there is ijma (consensus) that any stipulated increase on a loan is prohibited.

So the way out is to simply adhere to a clear principle. Whoever understands this maxim properly will not be shaken by modern rebranding.

Wallahu Ahlam.

Note :

The Oyo speaker didn't even mention a request for Shariah law. They invented it and ran away with it. Some mainstream media outlet amplified this.

When the bandits made the principal of the school debunk they ever requested for money or Shari'ah, they said she was under duress. And some of them said it was because Muslims started feeling pressure.

This isn't about the truth. This is a well orchestrated plan to attack Islam and Muslims. The earlier we see it as this , the better. They don't make a distinction between a liberal or a conservative Muslim. Just look at people like the very daft man.

Anyway, I have been very happy with the online response. But we need to do more. Those of them who mention people's name should be dragged to court and pls stop forgiving them !

And those of them who want to go violent, there doubts will be cleared.

[Copy Counsel @BenYousef_E]

What you're missing is, that tells you Islam is a complete belief system and way of life for the Muslims. The same way there are rituals for a new baby, there are funeral rites too, for a deceased Muslim.

Since you know it doesn't matter, why do you non-Muslims refrigerate your bodies in the morgue for months to prevent them from decomposing (becoming 'manure for the earth'?) even though it's inevitable. Don't tell me it's because of the foul smell.

[Ziyad Yakubu @Ziyad_yakubu]

I understand that we northerners, myself included, hate hearing criticism of the North in an Igbo or Yoruba accent.

But we should be saying it ourselves.

Mass weddings are bad government policy. We are treating the symptoms and ignoring the disease.

The reason 2,000 couples need help to marry is poverty.

Let’s solve that instead of papering over the cracks.
