to survive on discounts that do not exist? My stipends remain unpaid for months. I have been facing evictions since the past two months. I tried all possible ways to explain to the relevant stakeholders, but none gave me a listening ear. I have no option other than sharing this..
part of it has been resolved. But months later, that agreement was quietly dissolved, and instead of accountability, I was met with the claim that students receive discounts in the UAE.
A question; Does the @Kadunastategov1 send its students abroad only to later tell them...
Is this what government scholarships look like in practice?
After personally meeting His Excellency Governor @UbaSaniMuazu in Dubai and relating my issues, the @kadss_lb@SalePhd@MaduHaulat agreed to resolve all my outstanding issues once and for all. Alhamdulillah...
in public, hopefully it'll reach you your Excellency @ubasanius. I will be posting evidence one by one including full chats logs, pictures, emails and official correspondence with the Board and the ES, so the public can see exactly know what has transpired. @BashirSZuntu
IMPROVEMENT IN THE POWER SECTOR IS FELT, NOT TOLD.
Maybe, just maybe…
Nigeria’s electricity problem is no longer simply about “more generation.”
Yes, there are genuine ongoing projects: OB3, AKK, ELPS expansion, transmission substations, SIEMENS UPGRADES, STATE ELECTRICITY MARKETS etc. Nobody paying attention can honestly say nothing is happening.
But we also need to stop treating “ongoing” like an achievement.
In Nigeria, some projects have been “95% complete” since the time of Adam.
A power project cannot be “almost ready” for 7–10 years.
Every major project should have a clear completion date, public milestones and accountability if timelines fail.
A few uncomfortable truths:
1. The privatisation may need revision.
The DisCos likely need a mandatory recapitalisation exercise: something similar to what Soludo’s CBN did with banks. Electricity is too important for operators who cannot sufficiently invest in infrastructure, metering and network upgrades.
2. Regulation has to become enforcement.
NERC and state regulators cannot continue operating mainly through statements and guidelines yet when a citizens reports an issue; it dies off somewhere,somewhere without resolution. Compliance should be proactive, measurable and enforced.
3. We should judge the sector by outcomes, not announcements.
Since 2023, the messaging has largely been the same: improve electricity supply, stabilise the grid and increase delivered power.
Yet reality has been mixed.
2023: Better electricity supply was promised. Some may argue that they are currently worst off in terms of supply experience.
2024: Major focus shifted to grid stability and transmission improvements. Yet grid disturbances still happened repeatedly.
2025: Nigeria recorded generation highs close to 6,000 MW: genuine progress that deserves acknowledgment. But sustained supply still remains far below meagre 5,000 MW.
Now the official ambition is 8,000 MW by 2027.
Possible? Yes.
Achievable? Also yes.
But Nigerians have heard enough projections since NEPA era.
The hard questions remain:
What project will be completed? By when? What exact MW will it add? And how do Nigerians measure success beyond press statements?
Else, propaganda runs amok.
Something still marvels me about the Quran to this day. I wonder how a book could be so audacious.
Imagine opening a book, and the first line you hit is:
ذلك الكتاب لا ريب فيه
"This is the Book about which there is no doubt."
We all know that when a human writes, we almost always start with an apology in the preface. We say we tried our best, but any mistakes are ours.
The Quran does the exact opposite of that. It did not offer a disclaimer. It offered a finality. It says: there is no mistake, nor doubt about my authenticity. Anything you read and find in me, rest assured, it is nothing but the truth.
The shutdown of the possibility of error before a single story is even told is the ultimate audacious power move.
For the past 1440+ years since the Quran was sent down, NO ONE has been able to find a mistake. They’ve only been running in circles.
This is what gives me audacity. It gives me confidence in my ability to recite the Quran without fear anywhere.
May the Almighty make you and me from the people of the Quran 🙏👏🏿
You are a blockhead. Your forefathers were never fortunate enough to be guided, hence, your current predicament.
You are sitting on a chair we built, using a phone we made possible, to talk about a lack of intelligence. It is the height of irony. You are screaming about IQ while using a system of logic built by the very people you are insulting.
You are a man with no history of your own, just a collection of trends you picked up from the West to feel relevant. You call the Creator a demon while you live off the leftovers of His scholars.
Here is what you fail to know about the roots you don't have:
1.Algorithms and Algebra: You cannot even open your X app without Al-Khwarizmi. He gave the world the math and the algorithms that run every piece of tech you worship. While the people you admire were in the dark, he was mapping the future of digital logic.
2.Modern Medicine and Surgery: You think the West invented the hospital or the scalpel? Look up Al-Zahrawi. He created the surgical tools and the procedures that doctors still use in 2026 to save lives. Ibn Sina wrote the medical books that Europe used for five hundred years just to survive.
3.Higher Education: Even the very idea of a degree-granting university came from a Muslim woman, Fatima al-Fihri. She founded the first one in the world while the rest of the globe was still figuring out how to organize a classroom.
You are an attache. You have no foundation. You just bark out whatever the West tells you is "modern" because you are desperate for their validation.
We have a law that gave us the divine blueprint and a history of carrying the world on our backs while you were still lost. Realize your place before you talk about intellect.
Get a life bro.
This brother has hit the nail on the head.
DNA testing has its place in the world for things such as identifying missing persons or resolving cases where babies were swapped in a hospital. But for negating the paternity of a child born to your own wife, the Shariah shuts that door.
If we allowed every man who had a doubt or a petty suspicion to run to a lab for a DNA test, society would collapse into a mess of accusations and broken lineages. The law prioritizes stability over scientific curiosity when a valid marriage exists.
Allah set a high bar for a reason. To deny a child is to accuse the mother of a major sin. If you do not have four witnesses, you have to go through Li'an, which is a spiritual heavyweight match.
You are swearing by Allah and calling for His curse if you lie. It is a terrifying process designed to make a man think a thousand times before he shatters a home.
The reality is that Islam prefers to keep things covered rather than exposed. If a child is born in a home, that child is yours in the eyes of the law and you carry the responsibility. You cannot use a lab report to bypass the spiritual oath of Li'an.
The tweet is right because it points out that Shariah has its own system of evidence that puts the fear of Allah above the data of a machine. It protects the child from being labeled illegitimate based on a whim.
I 100% agree with him.
Dear @Dammi_Esq
I know you may not be a Muslim, but I dare say Islam has got you covered on what to do.
You have to realize that the moment you accepted that money and issued a receipt, the ownership of those 150 bags of cement moved from you to that customer. You are no longer the owner.
The ruling here is that a completed sale is binding. You cannot change the price of a deal that is already finished just because the market moved four months later.
There is a legal principle called Al-Kharaj bid-Dhaman, which means the benefit of an asset belongs to the person who carries the risk of losing it.
If the price of cement had crashed to half of what he paid, would you have voluntarily given him a refund of the balance when he showed up? Most likely, you would have told him that a deal is a deal. Justice works both ways.
You are acting as the Amin (the trustee) for his property. Demanding more money now or trying to force a refund on him so you can sell to someone else at a higher price is what the scholars would call a breach of trust.
My advice to you is to give the man his 150 bags and let him go in peace. It feels like you are losing money because you are looking at today's price, but you already made your profit the day he paid you.
Trying to claw back more because of "market price" is how people lose the Barakah in their business. He is not cheating you. He is asking for what he already bought. Don't let a temporary price hike make you fall into the sin of betraying a contract.
Give him his goods, wish him well on his recovery, and move on to the next sale.
Allah knows best.
If you are divorced or separated and you have a child from your earlier marriage, listen attentively to this.
In Islam, the concept of custody is known as Hadanah. The primary goal of this legislation is the protection and welfare of the child. It is not a prize to be won by the parents but a responsibility to be fulfilled.
Most scholars agree that the mother has the first right of custody for young children. This is based on the famous Hadith in Sunan Abi Dawud, where a woman complained to the Prophet Muhammad about her husband wanting to take her son away.
The Prophet told her that she has more right to the child as long as she does not REMARRY. The wisdom here is that the mother is naturally more compassionate and suited for the care of a child in their early years. This position is upheld by Imam Shafi’i in his book: Al-Umm.
However, this right depends on the ability of the parent to provide a safe and stable environment. According to Ibn Qudamah in his book Al-Mughni, if a parent is negligent or unfit to provide moral and physical safety, they lose the right to Hadanah.
If the mother marries a man who is a stranger to the child, the custody often shifts to the maternal grandmother or the father.
Even when the mother has physical custody, the FATHER IS STRICTLY RESPONSIBLE for the financial maintenance and the overall upbringing of the child. He cannot use the child as a tool for revenge or deny paternity if the child was born within a valid marriage.
In Islamic law, the principle of Al-Walad lil-Firash means the child belongs to the marriage bed. A man cannot fight for custody in a Shariah court and then turn around to deny the child. That is a legal and moral contradiction.
As the child grows and reaches the age of discernment, which is usually around seven or eight, the rules vary between the different schools of thought. Some allow the child to choose which parent to live with, while the Maliki school, which is very common in West Africa, often keeps the girl with her mother until she gets married.
The ultimate decision always rests on what scholars call Maslaha, or the best interest of the child. Any parent who tries to manipulate the system or deny their own blood just to hurt the other parent is violating the spirit of the law and the trust placed in them by Allah.
This is why the principle that says:
حكم الحاكم يرفع الخلاف — is so important.
It means the ruling of the judge resolves the dispute.
In a situation like this one in Gudu, once the court delivers a verdict, all the contradictions and selective choices must stop. You cannot use the court to fight for custody and then turn around to say the child is not yours. The judge’s word is the final word, and it is there to protect the child from the ego and the games of the parents.
Allah knows best.
