We are here arguing about Sharia, meanwhile Switzerland is voting on a proposal of N860k guaranteed minimum wage.

Nigeria is NOT a secular state. Secular states dont recognise and constitutionalise Sharia law. Nigeria is likely more Islamic than Egypt.

The Sharia plan is wholistic. From political to banking. From business to local residency. It’s very well orchestrated.

All in a bid to promote one religion above the other by few, instead of proffering solutions to victims of BH&Fulani
They want #ShariaBill..— ifeanyi okoye (@ifeanyiokoye23) May 25, 2016
I think the religious and ethnic divides are being spread more by our leader, rather allow the sleeping dogs lie they talk of #ShariaBill.

To actually propose a Bill to formally increase the jurisdiction of Sharia Court of Appeal to include criminal jurisdiction is frightening.

The Constitution is BIGGER than Sharia Law. Sharia Law shouldn’t meddle in criminal cases.
