ReplyDeleteWhy shut down people business cuz of Fasting
He should also close government house, schools, markets and every other sectors. Let the state be on complete shut down so they can observe their fasting properly.
ReplyDeleteEveryone stays indoor till after the fasting.
Nigeria is a secular state for crying out loud. This is wrong.

The level of hypocrisy in the North as regards Islam is annoying.
