Why the Big Deal About the Shariah Arbitration Sitting in Oyo?

It is baffling to witness the Islamophobia that often arises from certain quarters in the southwestern part of Nigeria, especially when it comes to issues like hijab or, more recently, the Shariah arbitration sitting in Oyo. This reaction seems unwarranted, especially considering that the Nigerian Constitution explicitly guarantees freedom of religion and association.

Why is there such uproar whenever Muslims try to exercise their constitutionally protected rights? Why should my wife, sister, or daughter be subjected to hostility for simply wearing hijab—a personal and religious choice that is not forced upon anyone? Let us be fair and just!

WHAT IS THE SHARIAH ARBITRATION SITTING?

The arbitration being unveiled in Oyo State is not a Shariah court but rather an arbitration sitting, akin to other family arbitration bodies such as those in Lagos or the well-known Agidigbo arbitration ("Kokoro Alate". The only difference is that this arbitration will operate according to Islamic principles and will cater exclusively to Muslims.

This initiative poses no threat to anyone’s rights or beliefs, as it is entirely voluntary and limited to Muslims. Such arbitration s are entirely legal and protected under the Nigerian Constitution.

MISCONCEPTIONS DEBUNKED

1. "It’s a Shariah court."
- No, it is not a Shariah court. It is an arbitration that provides mediation and resolution of family disputes based on Islamic tenets.

2. "It’s a new idea."
- This is false. Arbitration s guided by Islamic principles are not new in Oyo State. Similar s have existed in Ibadan, Ogbomoso, and other parts of the Country for years.

3. "It will Islamize Oyo State."
- This is baseless fear-mongering. The is exclusively for Muslims and does not affect anyone outside the faith. It does not impose Islamic principles on non-Muslims or interfere with the state’s secular governance.

WHY THIS SHOULDN’T BE AN ISSUE

Muslims in Oyo State have every right to exercise their religious beliefs and establish such an arbitration . It is designed to benefit society by preventing divorces, mediating family disputes, and fostering harmony within Muslim homes. These are positive contributions to the community, not threats.

We must be fair and respectful in our dealings with people of different faiths. Just as other groups have their own platforms for conflict resolution, Muslims in Oyo deserve the same rights without undue criticism or fear.

Let us uphold justice and constitutional rights by ing peaceful and constructive initiatives like this arbitration sitting. It is a step towards strengthening societal harmony and respecting the diversity that defines us as Nigerians.

One thing that is certain is ignorance!
It's the same as Sukuk and Islamic banking.

They're always afraid and in the end Islam will have its way naturally!

Very funny guys

The Muslim population of Oyo Should not allow these fools to intimidate them. They should proceed with their Sharia arbitration.

And how has those trash bettered the welfare of the Nigerian system? or even less, how has it better the lives of the muslims that make sthe poorest section of the Nigerian society?

Following...

It won't islamise Oyo, yet in Kano, sharia forcing people to adhere to jihad at full force.

. You must fast by fire by force.

. Muslims or non Muslim must not drink beer.

This is how they turned zamfara into the Dane of terrorists. Islamist and terrorists 5&6 . Islamist and lies to propagate Islam 5&6. After what happened in the 12 State that has Sharia... it's despicable for any person to talk about Sharia in any other states.

Zamfara is a case study. Who has ear let him use it well. Fight these Islamic terrorists and their terror laws with everything you have.

[quote author=Jaapu post=133463931][/quote]

Abi oo, and JIHAD way is, to steal, to kill and to destroy.


Today, anywhere where there is no peace, you must see Muslims that fighting to force his way.

Noise makers

Of course they will accept the demonic law

They should sharia themselves in the North .. Oyo is a Yorubaland, Sharia is for the Arabs .

You dey mind that one that has smoked cow dung. Mumu of the higest order

That is why they go to Europe and America. Ask for rights they deny people of other faith and region in their own region. But they come to the West and ask for it.

Something other people and faith dare not ask for in their region.

1. Arbitration, based on Sharia law but not on Nigerian law is a deviation from the Nigerian justice system, therefore it is wrong.

In fact, it is deceptive & misleading that you call it an "arbitration " instead of "Sharia Court of Arbitration" which it actually is, so one way or the other, it is a Sharia court, where they hope to commence the usage of Sharia Law in the South West.

2. Similar Sharia courts of Arbitration established in any part of the South West must also be disbanded. There is no Nigerian act that s the enforcement of law outside the provisions of the Nigerian judicial system! If Christians also begin using Mosaic Law, eventually forcing Muslims to obey in majority Christian communities, most of you denying the extremism in Islam would be the first to report to the government and protest.

MURIC and the Islamic Council were still protesting against Bishop Oyedepo's Air Strip, something the government didn't contribute 1 kobo to, yet you are all out here saying people shouldn't protest! Never!

3. Stop lying. The eventual aim of Sharia is to enforce Islamic law. I have seen videos of people in Afghanistan beheading their wives because of the Islamic law that allows it.

‼️ Was Deborah a muslim? She was stoned and burnt to death for telling people not to discuss religion in a school WhatsApp group, but because she mentioned "Mohammed" you guys murdered her! We know what a muslim-dominated society looks like, we don't want it!

‼️ If you want to keep maiming each other, flogging each other as per Sharia Law, please restrict it to the core muslim North where there is mass illiteracy and terrorism.

We have a freedom of religion in Nigeria, yes.
So also we have a freedom to do legal business.
We have also the freedom to consume any legal commodity or food we desire.

If the above is so why then are the Sharia police destroying people's businesses in the north, Nigerian citizens within their rights, selling legal things like alcohol.

If the selling of Alcohol or the barbing of a certain hairstyle offends you then don't do it. Don't consume it but allow the Nigerian citizen do their businesses as you are not their customer.

If you insist and molest their businesses because they are in your region, then you are not being fair and square and they also have the right to curb your excesses in their own region.

And it would bring terrorism. I was born and raised in the north. I witness sharia war in Kaduna in the year 2001 and islamic war in Kano in 2009 after . The genesis of this great war is Sharia court/law that they adopted. More than 100k life was lost because of this. Many of us that are shouting on social media are doing it because of what we have seen when we are growing up and when we are a kid. Zamfara, kano, kaduna, sokoto use to be a peaceful place before the introduction of sharia law/court. I just pity Yorubas because they don't have high population that can withstand crisis

An elder that decide to be a religious fanatic will not know peace.
That town is a liberal town. Don't bring iniquities there. You are peacephobia. It's is of worldwide knowledge and not ignorance that overzealous jãnjaweeds like you will use it to turn Oyo to full time sharia. You can vote in muslim gov as next one after Makinde, ya Sharia won't work.in that region. The people there are wise and aware of ya shenanigans. Eat dust!

Look at the bolded.

So, traditional worshippers have no right to exercise their own right in Ilorin?

Have you forgotten how they were stopped by some muslims not to practise their religion?

The IV says Sharia court inauguration but you are here spewing trash.

This sharia madness has been inaugurated elsewhere in Nigeria in the past. Just show us the benefits it has brought to those places. Simple as ABC

Nwaikpe:


And how has those trash bettered the welfare of the Nigerian system? or even less, how has it better the lives of the muslims that make sthe poorest section of the Nigerian society?

When they set it up come look how is going to be beneficials to Muslims hummah.. and nation generally..

YORUBA LAND IS ISESE LAND. Do you know the Ojude Oba festival is an honour to the king in Ijebu for allowing islamic immigrants in Yoruba land to practise their islamic religion in peace?

Then all of a sudden, because of the liberty Yoruba land has granted u guys with ur arabic & jewish religions to practice, you now want to turn landlord on the soil of our forefathers? Is Yoruba a joke to you?

Will you allow Isese court in Kano or in Saudi? Answer: no. But you now think you can establish sharia in Yoruba land?

We know the islamisation agenda for the whole of Africa. It won't happen on Yoruba land, the lands of our ancestors: the land of Ogun, Oya, Yemoja, Osun, Ogun, Obatala, Orunmila, Osanyin, the great Esu, Ayelaala, Ologun, Sango.

Yorubas will never lose their culture or tradition to the guise of religion which is a subterfuge attempt to divide the bonds that bind tribes together. Warfare comes in different forms, this is just another art -- AND THE GALLANT YORUBAS ARE VERY WELL ALIVE TO THE THREAT!!

Yorubas are one of the few african races that held onto their culture while a lot lost theirs -- that's a sign of sophistication and many tribes are seriously seriously jealous. Yorubas: be bold and proud

ILE YORUBA A GBE WA O.

The document clearly says sharia court but you still come here to spill crap. Dimwit

There is no big deal if Sharia Court is established in Oyo. The court is for Muslims alone. This shouldn't be an issue.

Kaduna used to be a beautiful multicultural city , one of the one that could easily compete with Lagos at that time. These idiots crumbled the city and its economy with religious extremism
