THE HYPOCRISY OF AREWA

Ordinarily, I would have 'ignored' this #ZabarmariMassacre, but the the humanity in me will not allow me look away. I would have also tagged it 'fake news', but because 43 human beings have been beheaded and, I feel too pale to play it down.
If Arewa does not kill hypocrisy, hypocrisy will kill Arewa. Prior to 2015 Arewa was most louder, firm and critical. They said all manner of things. I am quick to hold that they were that 'vociferous' because a @GEJonathan was involved. Today, Arewa blame everybody but @MBuhari."
Despite the abomination and barbarous cruelty that is ongoing in the north, Arewa has decided to keep a sealed lips. And whenever they speak, it is on non-issues: dressing, 'alcohol' and sinners' crusade. They dare not hold their leaders to account. Woe betide them.
In the pregnant morning of 2015, Buharists justified the removal of @GEJonathan. They had a scorecard for judging GEJ: premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines…. TODAY, the same situation has presented itself, and every Buharists, including Arewa has gone incommunicado.
The ongoing killings in the north by Bokoharam is enough to go round in the Arewa community. The potency of their hypocrisy is gradually weathering away. The world is seeing Arewa for what it is: a gutless, useless and timid set of hypocrites.
There is a joke about a morgue attendant who was so used to seeing dead bodies that one day, when a supposedly dead body started twitching, his response was, "this is the morgue, not the emergency room". He promptly smothered the twitching body until it was well and truly dead.
Both @MBuhari and Arewa see the incessant killing of Nigerians through the lens of Bokoharam, Fulani herdsmen and Banditry. Nigeria under @MBuhari has grown to become a vast, sprawling mortuary where deaths and dead bodies do not seem to matter at all. Hence the Arewa silence.
@MBuhari's soulless media warriors may sing his praises to high heavens and work hard to distort any discourse about the woeful failures of their paymaster, but they cannot hide the fact that, under @MBuhari, Nigeria has become a vast mortuary where death and tragedy are routine.
Bokoharam enjoys admiration from @MBuhari and Arewa. When @MBuhari Etunu Agbalumo granted 'amnesty' to these terrorists, Arewa lauded him. They rationalised it. Today, the same 'repentant' terrorists are out there, killing Nigerians. Yesterday, the slaughtered 43 human beings.
When @MBuhari said an attack against Bokoharam is an attack against the north, Arewa commended him. They upheld that satanic commentary as legendary and lifesaving. To be fair, the electoral process that brought MBuhari to 'power', was a big victory for Bokoharam.
The gross incompetence of @MBuhari and the hypocrisy of Arewa is seriously ruining Nigeria's reputation home and abroad. We have become the poverty and terrorism capital of the world. Yet, Arewa does not see anything wrong with the @OfficialAPCNg led administration.
It is in the character of Arewa to embrace and celebrate terrorism. See, even if Bokoharam wipeout the entire Nigeria, Arewa will still not say a word, because they see @MBuhari as an untouchable god. They dare not condemn the incompetent and clueless government of Buhari.
Arewa is most powerful and loudest when the subject matter is about sex, gang rape, dressing, the accuracy of Hisbah police, alcohol, and assumed morality. Outside these, Arewa is most useless, irrelevant and weak. Their most cherished treasure is their hypocrisy.
But it is this hypocrisy that will consume the Arewa going forward. The 43 beheaded citizens by Bokoharam in #Zabarmari means nothing to the Arewa community. Most of those reacting to this senseless massacre are mostly from the south. Give it two days, Arewa will move on.
For Arewa, you can criticise everything and anything, but never @MBuhari nor Bokoharam. When we came out to protest against @PoliceNG brutality and demand good governance under the umbrella of #EndSARS, Arewa (echelons) accused us attempting to unseat @MBuhari. So much hypocrisy.
The hypocrisy of Arewa will consume the entire north. Arewa can blame everybody but itself. When will Arewa take corrections for its mistake? When will Arewa call their hero and massa, @MBuhari out in the strongest of terms? But the hypocrisy of Arewa will never allow it.
43 human beings slaughtered yesterday in #Zabarmari, but it seems Arewa enjoy these killings all in the name of maintaining peace and love for @MBuhari. However, I think we should let this Arewa be: they obviously do not need our empathy. If they did, they would said so.

This very Kano State, the home of Hisba is everything cosmopolitan.

- Big time gambling;
- alcohol guzzlers;
- child prostitution;
- diverse and unimaginable use of illicit and synthetic drugs;
- male prostitution; and
- homosexual brothels..

But let me just mind my business.
This Kano is a morally rotten city. I do not know what picture Hisbah Police is trying to paint though. Those days when men used to have firm understanding with alcohol, we used to enter (town to shack away our sorrows, somewhere in GRA).
If you see cars. All in the dark. Big Alahjis trolling, trooping and crawling from the dark. Drunk Muslims. Let us call them Certified Drunk Islamic Entities. In their car is a sealed jar: to fuel the reserve and call the spirit of 'highness' when needed most.

Let us take your reply in perspective and do a (de)constructive analysis of it.

You said: "And where in the statement they release said one shouldn't shop on that day?"

Even though your reply makes no grammatical sense, it appears I get the gist of what you're trying to say.
The effect of threatening Cool FM to stop using the business phrase "Black Friday Sales" is tantamount to interfering in someone's business, thereby causing loss on all fronts. Like you said, "comprehension is really a problem". I agree. This is what illiteracy causes.

@SSYSaeed
Dear @SSYSaeed,

I did mention yesterday that there are many folks here with the Hisbah Police mindset: a mindset that threatens civilisation, growth and peaceful coexistence. What is haram about the usage of the BUSINESS phrase "Black Friday Sales"?

KANO HISBAH POLICE: BLACK FRIDAY

Asssalamu Alaykum

Black Friday has two relevant meanings. In history, Black Friday was a stock market catastrophe that took place on September 24, 1869. On that day, after a period of rampant speculation, the price of gold plummeted, and the
markets crashed.

But the more contemporary meaning refers to the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, which has also traditionally been a holiday itself for many employees.
It is typically a day full of special shopping deals and heavy discounts and is considered the beginning of the holiday shopping season. The tradition is the same, even in Dubai and other Islamic State.

Without more (the Kano State) Hisbah Police is a terrorists organisation.

REASONS WHY INEC SHOULD DECLARE THE SEAT OF THE SEX TOY SENATOR VACANT.

As Written By Sen Vandy Michika 26th November, 2020

The @inecnigeria should with a matter of urgency declare the seat of the sex-toy Senator Ishaku Abbo in the Senate vacant.
The Nigerian constitution is clear on this: section 68 (1) of the 1999 constitution which talks about defections states that:

“A member of the senate or of the house of representatives shall vacate his seat in the house of which he is a member if – (g) being a person
whose election to the house was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected; provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the

STEAMCO LTD v. MARK & ORS

TORT - VICARIOUS LIABILITY

Conditions for the principle of vicarious liability to arise
"After a careful perusal of the issues propositioned by the Appellant and the impact they would

I feel compelled to consider issue one on its own because it would automatically dispose of this appeal if resolved in favour of the Appellant.

THE HYPOCRISY OF THE NORTH BY SANNI AMANI

A MUST READ THREAD

Sometime in 2014, I'd just graduated from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. The political atmosphere in country was thick. Tensions were high. Everyone was afraid, especially in the North.

Boko Haram was at its peak.
They became bold and fearless to the extent that they attacked Mai Malari and Giwa Barracks, in Maiduguri. A suicide bomber attempted to sneak into 1 Division of the Nigerian Army in Kaduna.

Nowhere was safe. The convoy of Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi was attacked on Ali Akilu
Road, Kaduna after he closed his Ramadan Tafsir at Murtala Square.

People weren't happy. Everything was placed on the President's shoulders. 'Jonathan is clueless,' they said.

'You've failed. Resign now,' someone said.

It's a conundrum. In the
