Well said and facts pointed out @rok-sivante
I will like to chip in something here, having read through your post my interest in it was really much increased and i felt as a Nigerian i should be able to say one or two things.
Nigeria as we all know is the popularly acclaimed giant of africa, made of of people with different ethnic diversities and religion.
You have the igbos, yorubas and hausa been yhe main three tribes.
It is a well known established fact that in Nigeria there is freedom of worship, everyone decides who ever he or she wants to serve.
The igbos mostly are christians, the yorubas are in between mostly christians and muslims while the hausa in majority are muslims.
In hausa land , there promulgation of sharia practice is really very very functional and held high in esteem.
Sharia law is like a measure to curtail immorality in the northern region, though to some people, abolition of this law is what they pray for.
In the north it is well known that
So most of what they do are justified based on their beleifs, religion and practices.
Sharia law has its good and bad side.
But to me i think it has really done some good and some bad as well.
You want to know why moat nigerians comment and are attracted more to the post?
Simple
Your article was rich in content. Well articulated and chronologically arranged. I guess this also aroused my curiosity to read more in order to know more.
Kudo to you boss.
Keep it up. Glad following you.
Expectantly waiting for the part two
As a cultural Muslim, @rok-sivante, I admit to being disheartened to read this.
I drink, as do many of my family and friends, and we don’t judge others who don’t. Shar’ia means different things in different contexts: Africa, Middle East, Far East, etc...
Culture trumps religion, in my experience, and politics & economics play a big part. If you’re interested in listening to progressive voices on this subject, I recommend the likes of Mehdi Hassan, Craig Considine, Mona el Tahawy, Reza Aslan and Hamza Yusuf.
All these are articulate, eloquent voices of Islam, today, and embodiments of its diversity. It’s a pity with so much widespread ignorance and hatred of the faith that they are not better heard. I hope this might be of help.
@rok-sivante, your three lines of possibilities were outlined perfectly, let's use Nigeria as a case study because that is where I am from so I can tell to a great deal what is obtainable in the present society. Nigeria as a country is politically unstable, a country where you see a particular ethnic group wanted to claim full ownership of the country by saying that the sit of the presidency is their birth right. A country full of religious war, a country where the high and mighty are above the law.
A country where they claim that we are in democracy with a democratic elected president yet there is no freedom of speech. Sharia law is applicable here but it is mostly practiced in the northern part of the state where the Muslims are populated, they say it restores morals and ethics, but does it really? I don't think so because people still do those things behind close doors where no eyes are watching. Other ethnic groups practice both but Sharia laws are not applicable there.
So if you ask me your motivational write-ups has been so helpful to Nigerians, it will help some rediscover themselves, allow some to choose for themselves you they actually want to be not what somebody somewhere want them to be. It gives inspiration, willpower and zeal for one to want to do more, it channels one to the right direction and course in life. Personally your post has touched many aspect of my life. Thanks for that and please keep the post coming, it's really a life changer especially for people over here.
🙏💖
Intetresting how the like particles are coming together. I am encouraged at how places where certain access has been denied, there are still people who reach outside the cultural and religious dogmas for information enough to be here and enjoy this space to safely explore, if even vicariously.
I just made a French Press and am about to enjoy the second installment. Always inspired at how you weave the works together.
I love it when people talk about Nigeria, it gives me the passion to always want to input more and broaden people's perception and it will interest you to know that there are a few deep things that you never know.
The tribes, cultures, traditions, ethnicity and a lot more makes it beautiful but not withstanding, its also a national with diversified religions into Christianity, Muslim and Traditional religions, practiced by the Igbo's (Christianity and Traditional) Hausa's (Muslim) Yoruba's (Muslim, Traditional and Christianity).
Most at times, the war on religion tends to be overlooked but truthfully, it is a subject of key importance to state that war on religion has always been at its peak here.
A deep cultured Muslim will not want to see a Christian do well, contest for political office, own big market stores or mingle with their women in their own land and same goes to the Christians vice versa.
We preach peace and togetherness as one but we still have a long way to go as long as religion differences exist.
I wouldn't want to make this too long since its just a comment.
My gina bot didn't bring this post notification to me on time and i guess is poor network, thanks for this thought provoking article @rok-sivante
Yea we also do practice this but just in some parts of Northern Nigerian and not in all parts like in Aceh. Sharia law is a devastating law and I wonder how people cooe with it in this century. Funny enough though they have been living really fine with it. But thank God I am not subjected to it.
Your articles presents the concept of motivation particularly to inhabitants of Aceh in a very good way. It is rich of information as well as significant examples. It would be reasonable for the reader to be inspired by most of your interesting ideas. However, it would be reasonable as well to avoid the idea that specific ideas express extreme freedom since the latter could results into affecting others’ freedom in a way. Besides, the fact that a group of people’s claim to apply the laws of a certain religion should not be taken for granted that this group represents that religion. For example, blaming a raped woman as if she is responsible for the crime she is its victim. An other example mentioned in your interesting article is the somodizing.
Possibly, because it represents an extreme of freedom for which these societies have starved their citizens.
Why did you just copy-and-paste a section of my text as your own comment?
This conduct is bordering on plageurism.
I highly recommend you stop this. If meaning to quote, either use the “ > “ markdown code to emphasize it is a quote, or quotation marks with clarification of who the author was.
Otherwise, you’re essentially just plageurising.
I am sorry for it. I agree With that point. Because i life in conplict area. I forget make markdown code. Please don, t judge it as plageurising. My english not good. If you feel unhappy, you can delete my comment. God bless you
Good your post
Waiting patiently for the part two, This got me stalked here
"If you don't control your mind, someone else will"
Excellent your publication
A very interesting exploration. I will wait for your next article about this. Hopefully reading your post will make my insights increase. Thank you for sharing our knowledge with us.
Language differences make me a bit harder to understand. But I'm not just guided by Google Translate only. I will study to my friend who is proficient in English
Nice post @rok-sivante. continue to work with useful postings for us.
Have you read Reality Transurfing?
I think steemit is an incredible opportunity to show people that they can empower themselves. There is a strong spiritual presence here and many people in need, not only that but there is opportunity to grow some degree of wealth.
See ya in part 2
Haven’t. Synopsis looks interesting, though...
(Note: your comment got posted twice.)
It reminds me of Neville Goddard and a bit like book of mastery, pretty solid stuff... Removed the other post btw, steemit wasn't showing it
This topic is an interesting one, just that it is sometimes challenging to have a rational discussion when religion and sometimes politics are the subject of discussion. That is why I usually steer clear of the topic. Interesting topic, I read a lot of your post because I felt it has a lot of contents worth reading. Never stop exploring and thanks for sharing.
🙏

Mate that is a well written piece and it resonates with how I feel, keep up the excellent work.
Doctrines in religion are sometimes enslaving and it may be difficult to gain one's freedom if one is entrapped in the wrong ideological belief.
Impossible.
Perhaps if entrapped in any belief, even - for what is a belief, if not an idea held to in blind faith, a compensation for ignorance, which narrows one’s focus away from possibilities of expanding consciousness into territory where actual Truth lies...? 🤔
@rok-sivante good morning again from me to you.
It seems you are very much interested in Nigeria and it environment.
I don't really know which country you hail from.
But sincerely speaking this ill beliefs and limitations held by religion is like a prison.
If I'm to be spiritual here as I'm a Christian, from the word of God, its says everything created was by the hand of God, which means your hands represent your work and what you labour for.
Laws that chop off the hand caught in stealing are chopping off the spiritual potent residing in it.
I'm a Nigerian , religion is Practiced freely. In truth we are truly suffering from high rate of corruption and recession.
feeding of the family, providing shelter, clothing which are the basic needs is really hard now.
Every word here sounds like a preacher.
Honestly, I do not know what to say for this post. After reading it and translating some sentences that I do not understand. I think this post will attract the attention of many users from Indonesia And Nigeria.
I see some pictures that have very high philosophy value. I'm sure you've thought about it to choose this best picture before posting it.
"Thank you for what you have submitted in this post. Thanks for taq #indonesia. Good Job @rok-sivante"

I am also a native of aceh, an Indonesian citizen
