A 32-year old applicant, Ahmed Hassan, has been sentenced to one month imprisonment by an Abuja Senior Magistrates’ Court for wearing shoes into a mosque in Nyanya.

The Senior Magistrate, Mrs. Nkwadimi Buba, however, gave Hassan an option of N2,000 fine...

Nanpan said that the convict on November 25 trespassed into the mosque and lay down there with his shoes on, knowing that the act was un-Islamic.

Comrade Isiak Buna said it is not permissible in Islam for someone to enter a mosque wearing a shoe

Isn’t Sharia Law great? Just what we want in the States. Will they ever get out of the 14th Century?

Comrade?

Shoes, flip-flops, constitution, prophets, whatever...Did he get the job or not?

Nigeria is like that kid in the 3rd grade with mismatched socks whose buttons never lined up...except he went on to become an aeronautical engineer and they ate a goat.

I’ll have to remember this fact.

Nyanya?

Well, neener, neener!
