Why is it that the same Sharia court, which has been amputating the limbs of poor petty thieves, is now demoting a corrupt Sharia court judge?
The poor masses are now slaves to religion while the Northern elite place themselves above the very law they impose on the poor masses.
BREAKING: The Kano State Judicial Service Commission has demoted a Shari’a Court Judge, Shamsu Maul’ainaini, after finding him guilty of financial impropriety and misconduct in a matter brought before him.

The quoted video helped me understand this new interview with Burkina Faso President, Ibrahim Traoré, where he was asked about “60% of the country being under terrorist control.”
His response was smart and profound. It showed that not only is he self-aware and literate, but he also has a good team.✍️
The interesting part is that two things can be true at once:
A message can deserve examination, while the people delivering it can still be deeply flawed.
If a preacher abused the trust placed in them, that tells us something about the preacher not automatically about the truth or falsehood of the message.
Even a bad messenger can carry a message worth investigating.
So the real question isn’t simply, “Were some of the messengers corrupt?” History already gives us enough reasons to say that some were.
The better question is: Can the message itself withstand scrutiny when separated from the character, motives, and mistakes of those who delivered it?
Don’t confuse the messenger with the message.
Sometimes the smartest audit isn’t deleting the entire file because one page was compromised.
