“The way and manner some of the commercial tricycle operators engage in indecent dressing and carry men and women together is disturbing,” said Yusuf Yola, spokesman for the Hisbah board that is responsible for ensuring compliance with Shariah laws in Kano.He said such dress, with pants cut off just below the knee like Bermuda shorts, also was “un-Hausa,” referring to the biggest tribe in Nigeria’s north.Usually it’s women who are the target of the Islamic police checking that they have properly covered their heads and limbs.
Yola told The Associated Press on Monday that 10,000 officers will be deployed to ensure the laws are enforced, including “a law in the state which prohibits gender mix in commercial vehicles.”He said officers have orders to stop and search to make sure everyone obeys — including Christians.
In Kano on Monday, taxi driver Jamilu mai Babur, a Muslim, was rebellious:
“I will not comply with this useless order because Shariah is not about violating human rights.”Jamilu Hisba, another Muslim driver, agreed but said he would have to obey.
“It’s against Islam, this forceful order, but they have power over us so I must comply because this is my means of survival.”
Nonsense
ReplyDeleteWell, i blame Christians who still live in those places
ReplyDeleteYou must be an idiot. Arent you aware that in northern nigeria, there are indigenous northern tribes that are christian. There are hausa christians who didnt migrate from other parts of nigeria but rather hail from the region. Just like one can find moslems from auchi in benin. Why make comments on sensitive matters when you havent properly enlightened yourself on the matter.

DeleteLa Effizy, sometimes emotions can get the better part of a person. Believe me, i dont enjoy having to abuse people or run others down. But words of others can stir up emotions in me especially if its a topic that is close to my heart. I will heed ur advice and try and tone it down a bit. But do understand that a lot of my comments though they might appear harsh, are only good natured teasing. Thanks for the constructive criticism and stay blessed too.
