READ WHAT BUHARI SAID
ABOUT SHARIA IN 2011
Hearsay or He said:
A former military ruler and the All progressives
Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, in 2011, called for
the introduction of 'total' Islamic law across the country, reports said.
Buhari,
who ruled Nigeria from a coup in December 1983 to his ouster in 1985, told a
seminar in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, at the weekend of first week of March of
that year that the strict Islamic law code known as the Sharia should be
introduced in full across Nigeria.
"I will continue to show openly and inside me the
total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over
Nigeria," Buhari said, quoted in press reports.
"God willing, we
will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the
country," Buhari said.
Northern Nigeria is mainly Muslim but southern
Nigeria is mainly Christian and has led criticism of the introduction of
Islamic law in a dozen northern states in the past 18 months.
Africa's most populous country has been shaken
repeatedly in the past by religious unrest. In February 2000 between 2 000 and
3 000 people were killed by Christian-Muslim riots in Kaduna over the
introduction of Sharia.
Call for Sharia across the country
Buhari's comments were
interpreted by the southern-based papers as a call for the imposition of Sharia
all across the country, even in the mainly Christian south.
"Buhari calls
for Sharia in all states," was the headline of the respected newspaper The
Guardian.
Buhari's comments were defended by supporters as simply a call for
the full implementation of Sharia in areas where Muslims predominated.
But the comments are the second by Buhari that have
courted controversy after he called earlier this year for Muslims to vote at
the next presidential elections only for someone who would defend their faith.
This
was criticised by the press as a call for voting along religious lines, as well
as an attack on the current president, Olusegun Obasanjo, who is a Christian.
Buhari
made the latest comments at a seminar organised by the Supreme Council for
Sharia in Nigeria, a newly set up body attended by northern state governments
and Islamic scholars.
"It is a legal responsibility which God has given
us, within the context of one Nigeria, to continue to uphold the practice of
Sharia wholeheartedly , and to educate non-Muslims that they have nothing to
fear," he said.
"What remains for Muslims in Nigeria is for them to
redouble their efforts, educate Muslims on the need to promote the full
implementation of Sharia law," he went on. - AFP

Excerpts
From Jonathan's Media Chat Wednesday
“IF I LOSE, I WILL HAND
OVER TO A NEW GOVT”
President
Jonathan addressed pertinent issues during the media chat on Wednesday
night. On Handing over if he loses, he said contrary to some, he
would handover to a new government if he loses.He also said APC
started aggressive campaigning long before PDP..He also said most of the things
said on Social media are distorted and not factual..He cited the
viral reports that INEC chairman would be fired ..He said it was totally untrue.
He
also said though it is not wise to negotiate with terrorists, he would be
prepared to do anything to save lives..even those of Boko Haram members who
die..But he said Boko Haram are faceless with so many commanders..There
is no single head to negotiate with..That explains the failed
negotiations in 2014..He noted that as the Vice President back then,he visited
militants in Warri without carrying weapons but it would be impossible to do
that with Boko Haram.
On
Chibok girls, he expressed optimism that they would be rescued alive..but
stated that even in normal kidnappings, some hostages lose their lives ,as well
as kidnappers..So he can't say with certainty .He also noted that the girls are

Man removes nose to look LikeCaptain America's arc
h-nemesis, Red Skull.
The 37-year-old comic fan asked for the drastic surgery in order to look like Captain America's arch-nemesis, Red Skull.
Henry Damon, from the Venezuelan capital Caracas, previously had lumps inserted underneath the skin on his face and his arms as part of his transformation.
Happily married husband and father Mr Damon now refers to himself as Red Skull.
Emilio Gonzalez, the surgeon who performed the life-changing body modification, dropped out of medical school so he could concentrate on tattooing and extreme body surgery.
He said: "First I have to ensure that a person is 100 per cent healthy, with no respiratory disease.
"I asked for a tomography of the nose and sinuses to assure me that it was OK for surgery.
"In addition, a nasal mucus sample was taken to make sure that it had no infection.
"Henry, or Red Skull, is a physically and intellectually healthy person.
