"2 years into Tinubu's regime they'll come and tell you Buhari is dead and then bury an empty coffin. They won't allow people to see the corpse because they know there's nothing there.
I tell you Buhari died in 2017."
~Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (2020)
This plea is not merely heartbreaking. It is theologically indicting.
Every religion that elevates a historical figure invites an obvious objection: you have imported the limitations of his century along with his wisdom.
Christianity is not immune to this on its surface. But the question is not which century your prophet came from. The question is whether the man you elevated transcended his century or merely inhabited it.
Jesus touched lepers in a world that quarantined them. He held public theology with women when the rabbinical tradition refused them. He stood inside Roman imperial power and refused every offer of it. He told his disciples that greatness looked like a servant and that the meek, not the militarily dominant, would inherit the earth. He did not import 1st century Rome. He confronted it at every structural point.
Muhammad worked within the gender architecture of 7th century Arabia. He occasionally softened it. He did not dismantle it, he codified it. Surah 33:59 does not emerge from divine aesthetics. It emerges from a situation where his men were harassing women in Medina’s streets, and the solution offered was not to discipline the men but to mark the women.
Distinguish your wives so we know which ones we can abuse.
That is the textual sociology behind the hijab. You can argue across fourteen centuries about jurisprudence and interpretation but you cannot erase the situation that produced the verse.
When a founding figure does not confront the power structures of his world but works within them, those power structures become sacred. The 7th century gender architecture does not stay in the 7th century. It travels forward dressed as revelation.
This is why the Taliban are not an aberration. They are the answer to a sincere question: what does serious, uncompromising application of the external enforcement paradigm look like when you remove the moderating pressure of Western political shame? Afghanistan is the answer. Those men are not distorting Islam. They are implementing it without apology.
Christianity is structurally different. Not because Christians are morally superior but because the architecture is different by design.
The compliance mechanism is inward. The law written on the heart, not enforced at the school gate. This means God chose that the most devout believer and the most flagrant sinner face each other in the same invisible courtroom, and He alone presides. He gave us the mandate to preach and persuade. He did not give us the authority to coerce. When men try to, they are not being more Christian. They are being less. The architecture resists them.
Islam’s architecture does not resist them. It licenses them. And men who want power will always find a religion that licenses them and call it devotion.
So that girl’s cry is a theodicy in one sentence. She is right. Whatever god demands this cannot be the creator of women.
The left refuses this conversation because it forces a choice between feminist commitments and the reflexive defence of Islamic exceptionalism. They will choose the latter, dress it in the language of anti-colonialism, and leave Afghan girls crying in the dark.
@Fuadoluwadamil1@iamSwaga22 Fuad, the main problem about Islam is that everyone comes up with their own understanding of the tenets of Islam, one drunkard can wake up tomorrow & say some gibberish things & all of you will follow up with it like a herd, it’s really pathetic at this stage
The Malian junta has placed multi-million dollar bounties on the heads of key JNIM and FLA leaders. High-profile targets include Iyad Ag Ghaly, Amadou Koufa, and Bilal Ag Acherif, alongside the lesser-known but nearly as significant Joulaybib.
Dear Hausa Muslims:
It's not HARAM to be naming your children in Hausa language instead of Arabic. The Arabic names are not necessarily better than the Hausa names, all what is wanted is give them meaningful names not necessarily in Arabic language.
The minister is absolutely correct, but only by half. The flip side of the coin is that the utter neglect of these rural communities is the fuel that terrorists are using. When a community member provides information about terrorists, who protects that member from reprisals? Have we not seen how ISWAP, for instance, is killing people for being spies for the government?
Dear Minister, as you make this statement, are you aware that for the past few months rural communities in Sokoto and Kebbi states have been receiving letters and announcements from ISSP telling them not to obey the government’s rules (basically the constitution) because it is against Islam, promising protection against oppressors, and warning people against supporting the government against it, and calling on the youth to join it? Are you aware that these letters are handed over by community leaders to the authorities? Are you aware that authorities are telling communities to destroy the letters and not make them public? Are you aware how deep and fast ISSP is spreading in rural communities in the Northwest? Who is there to protect these communities if they disobey ISSP?
These little girls will birth an army of Muslim men who will try to dominate and destroy your American, Christian children in 20-40 years.
That’s how this works.
"All this agenda is aimed at making Nigeria an Islamic nation, and it can never happen. Are you telling me they will turn an Igbo man or a South-South man into a Muslim? If the Nigerian Army wants to wipe them off, they can do it in one day."

You asked that we should stop doing iseese and here u are still asking it to help clean a mess created by your ideology (Islam) apart from the fact that you are an addict to drug , you are also crazy and mad.
Your name will be in history book of the Yoruba people as a mistake our children will learn not to put the kind of man you are on a throne tha belongs to iseese. May you be unfortunate in all your endeavors and may you never have peace of mind all the days of your life
May you be disgrace and ridicule all your life
May we never encounter your kind of person again in Yoruba land.
May the ancestors that owns the throne you sit on put their back to you and from today on you will only see their wrath and never their blessings
I wish you all the bad things in this world

@Nwabulibu I keep getting mad at them, Fulani stabbed one boy to death last year in Benin but it was the Hausas that were summoned, the fulanis fled. I keep getting mad at bcos they allow fulunis to roped them into problems by accepting “ Hausa-Fulani” tag.
glossy Hollywood blockbusters, this film leans into realistic, close-quarters combat. The scene where Adam effortlessly disarms the seller wielding a shotgun highlights the film's commitment to efficient, brutal, and practical choreography.
Na only for Nigeria you go see police, custom, road safety and sometimes even army dey stand for road 😂😂 now vio don join them. I thought government already told them not to stand on the road anymore? Everybody wan sha dey call money from citizens.
