As a Yoruba Muslim, this is the kind of Islamic preaching that I want to be hearing and seeing in all our mosques across Southwest/Yoruba land every Friday/Juma'at.
This is not the time to be pushing for Sharia law in Yoruba land if we truly care about our safety from these bandits/terrorists. The word "Sharia", no matter the good intentions it has, has been bastardised by these bandits/terrorists. It would only be very foolish and insensitive for any Yoruba Muslims to be calling for such laws in the Southwest/Yoruba land at this time.
If the land is not safe, no one will be able to practice any religion freely whether you support Sharia laws or not. So, we must be united as Yorubas (Ọmọ Oodua) to keep our spaces safe at all costs.
May God/Allah/Eledumare keep protecting us all.
@Crowns0071@iammuriitala lol I’m not worshipping iron neither Osun or Oya too na
We are both Muslim na 😂
But I’m Yoruba first before anything
While you claim Islam come before tribe
So why are you saying I should change your tribe? 😂
May Allah be with you
These people have started with the advocacy for Sharia Laws in the South West.
Perish the Thought. It will not happen.
We will all practice our religions freely in Yorubaland and without compulsion.
Be it Christianity, Islam or Ìṣẹ̀se
If you want Shariah before you can practice your religion, gba Zamfara lọ
I have three questions:
1. Islam has been present in Yorùbáland for roughly 600 years. Why are we only now having conversations about implementing Sharia law? Does that mean our Muslim ancestors were somehow deficient in their practice of Islam?
2. What aspect of Sharia are you currently unable to observe in Yorùbáland that requires it to be incorporated into the laws of the land? Why are voluntary and independent Sharia panels no longer sufficient?
3. You argue that various countries and northern states have failed to implement Sharia properly, which is why it has infringed upon the rights of unwilling participants. What makes you think Yorùbás would somehow be immune to this same “misapplication” once Sharia is codified into law?

@YorubaFeminist If they successfully implement Sharia and destroy Yoruba land, they will still say we're not practicing it correctly that is why our nation is a failure. It is the classic no true Scotsman fallacy and they are blinded by religion to even see it.
Where did I say Shariah supports terrorism?
All I’m saying is that Shariah is being used as a tool to deceive Yorubas by claiming it won’t affect them and that it is only for Muslims.
Have you asked yourself why some of our Imams are threatening and cursing the government for refusing to implement Shariah as state law?
Okay, let’s agree that these bandits and terrorists are not Muslims, as you claim.
Are the Imams in Ogbomoso and the Mufti of Iwo not Muslims too?
I have not seen where you have cautioned these Imams on your timeline. That is why I believe that deep down, you all want Shariah in Yorubaland because you love your fellow Muslims more than your tribe.

This is the exact broken, binary logic we’re talking about. To you people, if someone doesn't celebrate toxicity and gleefully wish hellfire on others, they are defending Fashaa.. You cannot process basic mercy or manners. It's a completely warped mindset.
Serving as the P.R.O of MCAN Oyo State during NYSC exposed me to the other side of religious politics. I watched a full blown conspiracy and institutional alienation play out against me under the guise of piety, simply because i didn't fit a specific, rigid mold of Ahlu Sunnah.
Stop asking me JAMB questions. I attended madrasah from 2009 to 2013, so I understand what Shariah is about.
So don't come here acting as if I don't know Shariah. Deep down, I believe that if someone told you to sacrifice your tribesman in exchange for Shariah, you wouldn't hesitate.
@Pressman2040 Check the first photo. What do you see aside from the gun? You can also see the sword they’re carrying while herding their cattle in the Southwest, yet some MF will still say they’re innocent
