Know this and know peace. We all sin differently. That I preach to you or tweet Islamic stuffs does not mean I’m immune from committing sins. It is my heartfelt prayer that Allah free us from the shackle of Satan. I pray He forgives our sins & counts us among His lovely servants.

We were about to pray Asr sallaat then this woman came for an obstetrics scan...
Me: Madam since it's not an emergency case let me pray first.

She: Oga I am in a hurry.

Me: You can go and come back when you are not in a hurry or maybe or maybe you check other places.

She: Hausa people and this their daily prayers.

Me: Madam I am not Hausa— I am a Muslim.

She: Okay ohh. So u no fit do this scan for me fast fast make I go.

Me: We don't rush things here, we take our time and do the right thing.

Then I left for Asr prayer and came back while she was there waiting for me.
She: Now now u don come back I think say u go reach two hours ohhh.

Me:we don't waste much time.
She: So what if it's an emergency case now will u leave me like this and go?

Me: No, in the case of emergency I will have to miss the congregational sallaat to save your life.

She: I like how Muslim dey do their religion ohh.

Me: Thank you. We also like you too.

Happy Eid Mubarak❤️

May we witness many of it on the surface of the earth in good health and wealth.

[Bitto Keren K Esq. @KerenKBitto]

Someone commented on my tweet about my ex, that I dated an illiterate 😂.

Sigh. You people still don’t understand my type of woman.

The things I look out for in a man are not the things other women want. They want a PhD holder with the money of Otedola who will give them baby girl treatment for free and tolerate their bad behaviors.

I want a man who is proud of his grind and has built himself with or without education, has a sense of morality and is a man around the house (can lift heavy things for me, fix things in the house etc).

You can be a pidgin speaking degree less man but you are hustling hard and you have good morals, you don’t beat women, you are not stopping me from working, you’re dark skinned etc, I will happily date and marry you and be proud of you.

I already speak and write stellar English. I am not dating or marrying you for grammar classes. I am with you first because I love you and you make me happy.

So trying to shame me for falling in love and once dating a man who doesn’t write too well no go work o. As much as things ended, he is a hardworking man who built himself from that man born in one far village in the east into one of the biggest car and spare parts dealers in Abj.

I don’t mind a man who will shout “na my wife be that” in serious pidgin when I am giving speeches, and calls my salads and teas oyibo food while he eats his akpu and oha. I don’t need the one that will be forming posh and speaking supri supri. I am ajebo enough for both of us.

Love does not discriminate. Besides men who aren’t too educated always carry their very educated career wives on their heads like a trophy 😆😌. He may be a hustler but he won’t hesitate to brag that his wife is a lawyer.

Justice Oyinloye of blessed memory fit talk am.

Counsel: My Lord the witness has identified his Written Statement on Oath and we wish to adopt it as his evidence in this matter.

Judge: Counsel, you can remove your robe and enter the witness box if you wish to adopt it as your evidence💀

@deltanmuslimah Let's learn from your answer

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

@herjhokhe Pulchritudinous

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

... needed to access a state law a few months ago, I nearly cried because I couldn't tell my Oga that the legislation could not be found. I spoke to some colleagues in firms in Lagos to help my life.

Fortunately, a colleague helped me to find another colleague who knew another colleague in that state.

[The Rory Ovedje, Esq. @ovedjerory]

I decided to draft a legal application two weeks ago. I've spent nearly all that time just trying to find the actual law my clients were charged under.

Let that absurdity sink in. As a lawyer, with legal research skills and professional networks, I struggled for two weeks to locate the legislation I needed to work with. I finally obtained it yesterday and immediately distributed it to other lawyers I'd encountered during my search, because they were facing the same struggle.

I need to file this application on Monday when the matter is coming up, so I don't appear negligent before the Court. The timeline I am working with does not care that the law was nearly impossible to access.

The fundamental problem is that we're told "ignorance of the law is no excuse," yet the law itself is often hidden behind paywalls, buried in inaccessible databases, or simply unavailable to the average citizen.

How can we expect compliance when access to law is a privilege, not a right?

Laws must be freely accessible to all. Period. f we're bound by them, we deserve to read them without barriers.

Have you ever struggled to access a legislation you needed?

This shouldn't be the norm in a functioning legal system.

Fortunately I do give up on people. You can't continuously drain me, disappoint me and disrespect me while expecting me to keep being around.

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

@herjhokhe Spectacular

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

In NLS Lagos Campus, I prayed with many big men side by side.

[Ọmọ Akin @GuyMr10]

Funke Akindele said she stopped attending church because cameras are always on her, bro nobody send your papa inside mosque, no VIP section, no camera, no famzing, you go stand up pray like you’re nothing

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

Per Shariah, it depends on the circumstances.

In case of righteousness, it is in the following order:

1. God & His Prophet
2. Mom
3. Mom
4. Mom
5. Dad
6. Wife
7. Children
8. Relatives & Kindred
9. Orphans
10. Poor people
11. Alm seekers/beggars
12. Slaves
13. Others

In case of maintenance:

1. Wife
2. Children
3. Mom and Dad
4. items 8-13

NB: By expending your maintenance in that order, it is deemed that you have expended on the path of Allah and His beloved Prophet.

Thank you.

@amofin_agba @RAMADANYahaya6 @RealAARahman @bukolasaraki Scholar, please mention two innovative projects.

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

@BOLAJIABDULQUD2 Talk for yourself. Who is the"we"?

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

@amofin_agba @MrNobody_Jr @RealAARahman Okay. Let's push for @NigBarAssoc moves the next conference to Kwara so that we can host it at our international conference.

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

@amofin_agba @RealAARahman If you had used "improvement," I wouldn't have raised an eyebrow. No one downplayed the role of @RealAARahman. But you would be downplaying it if you keep measuring his improvement projects with innovative projects of @bukolasaraki

Thank you.

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

Actually, the flagpole and the horse are the only innovative ideas I can think of as we speak. Others you mentioned are not innovative. They are improvements. So, when @bukolasaraki was talking about his innovative legacies, it is insulting that you attempted to evaluate them with improvements.

Thank you

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

@MrNobody_Jr @amofin_agba @RealAARahman Thank you, jare. Our dear multimillion naira horse

[Ridwan Sarumi Esq. @Assarumy]

@amofin_agba @MrNobody_Jr @RealAARahman How many international events have been anchored there?
