This is a very complex and complicated thing I really find hard to comprehend

| What are the good things you can point to that has happened to the north especially Zamfara that first implemented it? At the end of the day, sharia in Zamfara ended up recruiting harden bandits and criminals that Sharia law can never be applied to. So, far there is nothing good you can point to in the north, such things can never be emulated. It only brings backwardness. Also, Islam is minority in the south west because Christians and traditionalists out numbers Muslims, and Christianity remains the most populous of you factor in that Ondo and Ekiti are 85% Christians while other south west states share nearly evenly. In a family where father is a Muslim, wife is a Christian and children are shared in faith. So, you want to use sharia to cut the hand of the father that is the bread winner of the house while others will be looking at Islam in good faith, right? Or Christian husband should be looking as sharia cut his wife hands and threw eight children for him to care for, right? The idea should be dropped, it can’t work in south west, they are more enlighten and educated people. Until the north shows south west how many governors and other political elites that are from sharia states and found guilty of embezzlement, alcohol drinks or other Islamic violations have been sentenced or stoned with sharia, then; south west can follow suit. Sharia is for the poor only, it should be ignored |
