 Ramadan: Respect Muslims don't eat in public during fasting hours — Cleric tells Nigerians 

The Chief Imam, Falomo Lagos Central Mosque, Dr Tajudeen Adebayo, said the public should respect the sensibility of the fasting Muslim faithful by avoiding eating in their presence.


Adebayo said that eating in public during the hours of fasting debases the sensibility of those fasting and could discourage people from the self-denial ritual.

The Cleric spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Thursday, against the backdrop of some Muslims that were caught eating when they should be fasting.


It was reported that Hisbah, the Islamic Police, on Wednesday in Kano arrested 10 men and a female groundnut vendor for allegedly eating in public during the hours of fasting. The Hisbah spokesperson, Mr Lawal Fagge, who confirmed the arrest, said that the men were arrested near a Kano market while the female vendor was caught eating from her wares. Fagge said that the arrest was facilitated by a tip-off from onlookers.


Commenting on the incident, the Lagos cleric said that in an ideal Islamic setting, fasting during Ramadan is sacred and should be respected by all. Fasting is mandatory for every mature, healthy Muslim who is not on a journey. Exempted from fasting are sick people, travellers, the elderly, and pregnant and breastfeeding women who cannot bear it. Women who are experiencing their monthly flow or childbirth blood are exempted too.


However, those who have excuses valid enough to be exempted from fasting, either permanently or tentatively, are expected. It is courteous for others to respect the sensibility of those who are fasting by not eating publicly. According to him, it is on that ground of insensitivity to the feelings of the general public that they were arrested.

    What I will say about this is this should not be happening, Nigeria is not an Islamic country and there should not be any arrest for any citizens that are not fasting or Cristians who eat in the public.

    In Nigeria you're free to chose any religion of your choice.

    Life and living should not be hard for Nigerians when the Muslims are fasting and what I know is Islam preaches peace why KANO people want to turn it to pieces?

Nnamdi Kanu Will Be Freed But - Reno Omokri Tells Igbos What To Do.

By
Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has told Igbos what to do if they want to see their embattled son and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, freed from detention. In a Twitter post on Wednesday (yesterday ), Omokri said Kanu would regain his freedom if only the Igbos could play their cards right. The socio-political activist admonished the Igbo-speaking region to desist from violence and convert IPOB into a political party. According to him, there is more love for the Ndigbo than hatred. Omokri stressed that the Igbos could turn the Southeast into a paradise if only they could stop the violent activities allegedly perpetrated by the IPOB across the region. Tweeting, Omokri wrote: "Play your cards right, and Nnamdi Kanu will be freed. Renounce violence, as the Irish Republican Army did, and convert IPOB into a political party, the way the IRA became Sinn Féin, and democratically seize control of the Southeast, then turn it into a paradise, and ot

Increasing Fuel Price Is Evidence Of Tinubu's Government Insincerity - CNPP.

By
The Conference Of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has reacted to the recent hike in pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol. CNPP, in a statement signed by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Comrade James Ezema, said that the increment less than 60 days after "the Federal Government announced the removal of subsidy is a fresh pointer that the All Progressives Congress (APC) government has never been sincere with Nigerians on the subsidy issue." The political parties also backed the House of Representatives' move "to investigate the overnight destruction of a vessel with stolen Nigerian crude oil recently without investigation or prosecution of the culprits. "In the last eight years, Nigerians have been subjected to misery as a result of the incessant increment in the pump price of petrol," the statement read in part. "Even after the said removal of subsidy on petrol, the Muhammadu Buhari administration continued to in
