In reaction to @MFaaarees_’s post declaring, “SHARIA LAW STAYS IN NIGERIA! IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, YOU CAN LEAVE!!!”, one user responded, “SHARIA LAW is only for the POOR MUSLIM IN NIGERIA.”

This comment suggests that Sharia law is unfairly applied, targeting only the poor while the wealthy or influential escape its consequences. While there’s ongoing debate about unequal justice in Nigeria, making such a general statement risks oversimplifying a complex issue and stirring resentment within the Muslim community. Not all Islamic systems or clerics act with bias, and such comments can fuel class and religious tensions. The focus should instead be on promoting fairness and accountability within all legal systems—religious or secular—so that justice serves everyone equally, regardless of wealth or status.
