 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?

I am here to speak with you on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40 years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above, father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbour, colleague. Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: 1. Information 2. Reassurance 3. A plan of action. Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder. If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think ...
