You will never enter paradise until you have faith and you will not complete your faith until you love on another. There is a polish for everything that takes away rust and the polish for the heart is the rememberance of Allah. Whoever loves meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him.
As a man, marrying a practicing medical doctor is a sacrifice on its own. You would not enjoy the conventional amount of time that many married women spend at home. Anyone marrying a doctor should understand exactly what they’re signing up for. Dole sai mutum yayi hankuri
Earlier today, I joined colleagues at the Special Plenary Session of the House of Representatives convened to address Nigeria’s worsening security challenges. In my contribution, I reaffirmed a position I have long held: Nigeria must embrace State Policing, not as a political slogan, but as an urgent, practical solution to the realities our communities face. Security cannot be effectively managed from Abuja alone.
I also stressed the need to improve police welfare and end recruitment driven by allocation or favor. States should determine their manpower needs, and the process must be digitized, transparent, and merit-based.
Beyond policing, I highlighted a painful but undeniable truth: many parts of the North face a deepening education crisis. With limited opportunities, young people become vulnerable to harmful online influences, including extremist propaganda - a growing and dangerous trend.
I made it clear that leaders, myself included, must take responsibility. While efforts have been made, we have not done enough. Nigeria cannot overcome insecurity without investing in the fundamentals: education, employment, community development, and effective governance.
Ultimately, every reform we advocate is for one purpose: to ensure that citizens can live in safety, raise their families in peace, and build meaningful lives without fear. That is the Nigeria we must all work toward - together.

In the same speech, Nicki Minaj spoke about the targeting of Nigerian Christians and claimed to care, yet she also plugged herself and even laughed. That’s how seriously they take our lives.
Congratulations on your appointment and best wishes as you begin your career in academia. As you pursue your passion for imparting knowledge, remember that teaching is a noble calling that shapes minds and influences generations. However, while you dedicate yourself to the classroom, it is also wise to engage in a trade or business that can provide additional income as your salary alone may not always meet all your financial needs talk less of investment for retirement.
The red pen you hold carries great power, it can build or break dreams. Use it with sincerity, fairness, and leniency where appropriate, always remember that behind every script is a human being with aspirations and potential.
In this new profession, continuous self development is essential. Strive to acquire higher qualifications, attend conferences, and publish regularly in reputable, high impact journals. Seek research collaborations and write proposals for grants both within and outside your institution, build a strong academic network, mentor your students, and uphold integrity in all your professional dealings.
Above all, maintain a balance between teaching, research, community service and your personal life, while the first three are the pillars define a true academic, your personal life defines you. As Tuco rightly put it in the film the good, the bad and the ugly, if you are work for a living, why do you kill yourself working? 😀
Once again, congratulations and welcome to the world of lifelong learning.
