LAGOS:FULANI COMMUNITY FROM
NIGER REPUBLIC PRAY A DAY AFTER SALLAH
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU
The Fulani community at Ifako Ijaiye District of
Lagos,Nigeria are strongly believed to have prayed at a make shift prayer
grounds at Jungle Bus Stop along
Iju-Ishaga Highway in Lagos,Nigeria ,a day after majority of Muslims globally
observed their own prayers.
This reporter will not know immediately as at press time the
spiritual wisdom behind this decision by a tiny fragment of the Muslim Ummah in
Ifako-Ijaiye but it is strongly believed that there were reasons for this
minority group to have acted in defiance of the larger majority .
The Sultan of Sokoto ,His Royal Eminence ,Sultan Muhammadu
Saad Abubakar ,The 3rd ,who is believed to be the final arbiter in all cases
involving the practice and interpretations of Islam in Nigeria and even recognized
and held in high esteem in the seat of the faith in Saudi Arabia will be
surprised at this development though it may be an isolated incident.
