Well, We Americans had the Boston Tea Party. They might as well have the Kano Beer Party. Doesn't roll off the tongue very well though.

Hell, they could have shipped it to me. I would have take good care of it. (Hic-Burp)

I think "You take one down, smash on the ground" would be more fitting to what happened. Razz

Yay! It's the morality police! God, I hate religion. I'm going to go drink a beer now and no religious teetotaler is going to stop me.

Okay .... I'm really going to drink something nice and fruity like a daiquiri because I never acquired a taste for beer. And just to flaunt my immoral behavior, I'm going to put a little paper umbrella in it!

Anyone else spot the irony in that Kano state, and others claiming to enforce sharia, are still perfectly happy to collect the huge tax revenue from... erm... the sale and consumption of these immoralities.

Just spotted this gem in the comments:

Quote:

I think all this bottle breaking is more about chief Aminu Daurawa not getting his bribe money than it is enforcement of Islamic law.

Bingo! Why did that not occur to me?

Are you implying that the good chief is anything other than an upstanding individual? Shame on you.

Lets stop the religion shit.

And lets also stop the accusations - just because some is Nigerian, they are not automatically corrupt.

It smacks of racism and it won't be tolerated here.

As someone who's had the misfortune of tasting Guinness brewed in Naija, I'm 100% behind the imams on this one on whatever grounds they pour it down the drain. Laughing

^^^ they were selling it in the local Tesco a while ago. Didn't buy any though - don't really like the bottled stuff.
