The House of Representatives yesterday passed the second reading of a bill to increase the powers and jurisdiction of Sharia Law in Nigeria. The bill which is being sponsored Abdullahi Salame, the lawmaker representing Gwadabawa/Illela federal constituency of Sokoto state scaled through without a debate.
Speaking on the bill, Jonathan Gaza Gbefwi, deputy chairman of the house committee on media and publicity, said;
“The bill came up on the floor and was automatically referred to the adhoc committee on constitution review. There was no debate on it either for or against because the house is a democratic representatives chamber of the Nigerian people. Even if five people only have an issue with any section of the constitution, the house will give it a listening ear. The ad hoc committee on constitution review has one member per state and women and other representation. The precedence is that it is in this committee that these kind of matters are thrashed out. Any bill that has potentials to divide the country on religious or tribal lines or to reopen settled constitutional issues will most likely fail in the committee”he said

We follow this development with keen interest. No bill supporting the division of the country on religious or ethnic lines should be supported.

FREEBORN'S COMMENT DON DEY COME TO PASS.
Imaging to increase the power of sharia court see oo.
why will sharia court be in circular country? Very soon they will extend sharia court in all part of Nigeria as terrorist buhari has given his Islamic bank licence.
Why must hausas be talking about religion every time they are in plenary section in the house?

So long as the decapitations and public floggings remain in the north.
Nigeria is fucked up, the oppressed are treated as criminals when they agitate but these cows make laws that take precedence over the constitution that binds us all
In a nutshell, this is Buhari's agenda to Islamize Nigeria. You guys are calling for war and God help us all when the war sets in, there won't be any safe havens for you bastards!!
This is what the yorubas wanted when they voted Buhari in knowing his inflammatory pro-islamic religious comments of the past.
Bet on this; Nigeria will be more islamic way before Buhari finishes his mandates. And the Fulani will own pieces of every tribes land legally by the force of a federal grazing law concocted by the chief fulani tribal cum religious bigot, muhammadu buhari.
God save Nigeria from the political blindness of the yorubas.
Hahahaha..........
y d complain?
come out 2 vote for continuity you say no,it must be change!to some of you then e no concern me o..
but now,your eye don open.
we all go suffer am.
you voted 4 change.
This is just d beginning!
you aren't see nothing yet.
It will be better to draw up a christian law while considering the sharia law in order to alter the 1999 constitution.infact, divid this country cos of all these diversities in culture, religion, language difference, belief etc. There is no need to pretend one nigeria cos one day with all these differences, nature will take its course. There is already a constitution in place binding for one nigeria from inception of the country and we have been living with it over years.what is the essnce of another consttution different from the one we are using.that means naturally, some people are already believing that they dont belong to nigeria.
Ur a fool. There is nothing like south south

Thai man attacked by snake that slithered up through his toilet
Every thigh must be done to stop this barbaric action, Nigeria is a secular Country or state not an Islamic or Arabic nation.

So why can't the northerners keep their religion to themselves most everybody embrace it ? What I DNT understand is why ? Since the resumption of office by mr president 75% of what is happening has gone to the favor of the northerners lord have mercy
Must they bring there religion into politics? Now I understand Ben Carson's statement.
All of dem na mad people. Where dey are supposed to talk dey won't talk, na to dey make noise for social media dem sabi. Linda take note!
If Sharia is only for a part of the country, why is the issue before the House of Reps, a national body?
Fool house of rep
They want to islamize Nigeria but God will stop them with his great thunder and brim stone.
God is watching you all in 3D

Una never see anything...FFK talk am, una no gree hear...AIT warn una, still deaf ears...now see where we are headed
if this bill is not stopped Nigeria may not live to implement it
This is one of the major hidden agendas of BUHARI the terrorist. clueless old, wicked Fulani ma.
God will disappoint him and his cohort..
Off all the issues bothering this country, this is also important, how is this going to bring progress to this country.
Wicked agenda
I really fear for Nigeria! Honestly! This ppl came with wicked mind to islamise and conquer all sectors of Nigeria through back door. Only Fayose is speaking up!
they are gradually defining their agenda. expanding sharia court simply entails that atleast there would be one sharia judge in not only the northern states but every state. hmmm
Juliet Buhari, what are you complaining about? We spoke about this hidden agenda, but so many of you called us names. It is unfolding gradually. Wait and see
Call your reps to order before it's too late

Unbelievable, that a bill of this importance does not get even one voice of dissension in Naija's house of representatives. Are they all sleeping, drugged or under some evil spell? It can be assumed most of the would-be dissenters have been bought and put in the pockets of those who are bent on dipping the quoran into the Atlantic ocean. What a shame. The southern/christian representatives who ought to speak up 4 the voiceless keep selling their constituents short for mere crumbs from the master's table. Cry my beloved country, for the grave injustice done to you by its so-called leaders. #goodcausetospeakup

No be small thing-o. Why can't religion be a personal/private affair? On second thought, power and religion go together 4 the sons of Dan Fodio aka caliphate. So, there you have it while the western & southern reps keep asleep at the steering wheel. Nawa...
So Nigerians can be dis gullible? As long as e no reach south south u say? Una get anoda constitution abi?
Meanwhile, El Rufai of Kaduna state is leading the northern states pack by clamping down on the preaching and dissemination of christian beliefs/messages under the guise of "sanitizing" the environment. Is this the change the citizens elected these dividers and intolerant leaders to effect? QED@atm
