You see this girl who developed kidney complications following her pregnancy. She has since had a transplant, but she is currently battling a viral infection, and the only medication she can take is Maribavir. When I looked it up, I was shocked to see it costs around £11,000. I never realized medication could be that expensive. I really hope she gets the help she needs, as that medication is so important for her health.

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.

No criminal would brazenly make videos like that and put online. I hope it’s a sick joke.

[Olamide @olami_tomi]

As infuriating as that would be, I hope the videos of ‘bandits’ counting money is not true and someone trying to be funny, because it’ll be appalling to find out that not only are they bold they believe they can’t be caught.

[Olamide @olami_tomi]

Ah!

[Ozor Ndi Ozor @OzorNdiOzor]

Boko haram attacked Nigerian military position early this morning around 3am. They took their time to k!łł Nigeria soldiers, in what could be described as execution style møssæcre. They B€h€aded about 8 Nigerian military officers like there’s no consequences.

[Olamide @olami_tomi]

Tbh! Very disappointing behaviour

[NaijaFarmer @Nig_Farmer]

Like I have always said Obidients are not helping Peter Obi

Dragging another person's political choice is funny & sad.

Instead to convince una dey condemn.

Same thing y'all did in 2023, una no dey market una candidate na dragging & fuuling

2027 is kuku here 😄

Pastors are humans, they get it wrong and the ones you should really run from are those that can never say ‘I was wrong, I know better’. Going back in time to quote old sermons of a man who has devoted more years to ministry than your age just shows your character…

Maybe it is because I have a high view of the Church. Do not blame me; this is the body of God on the earth.

Perhaps it is because of the doctrinal state of our ecosystem, which has made material things the essence, representation, and validation of what the Church is.

Maybe that is why we do not know how powerful the witness of the Church can be against the government of a nation.

In the New Testament, wherever the apostles went, their impact was felt.

They once said of them, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also.”

Why did this happen? They brought a witness that condemned the world and brought every thought into captivity.

In case many do not know, one of the extra-biblical evidences for the historical Jesus is a letter written by a governor to the Emperor of Rome in the 2nd century.

His name was Pliny the Younger.

He wrote that he did not know what to do with Christians because their message was spreading everywhere.

“Many persons of every age, every rank, and also of both sexes are and will be endangered... the contagion of this superstition has spread not only to the cities but also to the villages and farms.”

He also complained that pagan temples were being neglected and sacrificial animals were selling poorly because many people had become Christians or were influenced by the movement.

This was a minority religion.

My point is this: Christianity at scale will morally impact a nation.

And currently, our political situation in the nation today is fundamentally moral.

There is nothing stopping Tinubu from wiping out the terrorists.

But he pardons them instead and gives them money.

I am saying only the witness of the Church can convict such moral depravity.

Why is that too much to ask?

The Church will judge the world. How is no one seeing this?

It is well.

I pray we have a higher view of the Church.

[Olamide @olami_tomi]

That has absolutely nothing to do with the state of the country and a lot to do with what you believed in the first place.

[Temitope Sobulo🛡️ @TemitopeSobulo]

I have not attended up to 5 night vigils in my 10years abroad! The ones I attended na Nigerians bring am into the church 😂.

My prayer life changed drastically. It is now 90% gratitude and 10% praying for others 🤷🤷🤷🤷

The hypocrisy of you all is smelling honestly.

Forget the political stuff (not really)
Just look at the content of his character

[Olamide @olami_tomi]

The triumphal entry was just few days before the crucifixion of Jesus. Where were the people who sang and welcomed him? Did he have more enemies than friends or did his friends forget quickly?

[Olamide @olami_tomi]

Beyond the truth of the salvation story, there are psychological pointers to the pattern of behaviours of people that we should pay attention to. Yes, ultimately Jesus came to die and thank God he did but think about this…

[Olamide @olami_tomi]

This is why it is very difficult to speak on social issues in Nigeria. Because you can mean well but there are some unreasonable people on the internet that feel it is about who makes the most noise/content.
Again, this is the worst time in history for Naij to be facing this

[Oba 👑 Wacko @Obawacko]

People were seen staging a “Say No to Islam” protest 😳

I see the sword of the Angel of God drawn, the perpetrators of evil across Nigeria have being judged. You’ve being weighed on a balance and found guilty. ALL!
