Imagine just one person. And a Muslim for that matter. You would expect some level of contentment, because come to think of it, what would make a man own 40 properties if not pure greed.
Mind you, he is not a developer, nor is he known as a real estate mogul. He is a lawyer. How do we even calculate his salaries and official perks to justify this level of corruption?
It is so unfortunate for Malami and every other person like him in public office. He is not a good ambassador of Islam.
On 10 July 2026, I was called to the Bar and announced as the Overall Best Student in the 2025 Nigerian Bar Final Examinations. It was humbling to receive 12 academic prizes donated by some of the finest minds the Nigerian legal profession has produced.
JUST IN!!!
CASH AND PROPERTIES LEFT FOR THE WORLD BY ALHAJI AMINU DANTATA. =Copied=
He left behind ₦61 trillion in cash in both Nigerian and foreign banks. He also left behind 800 petrol stations within and outside Nigeria that do not bear his name, but belong to him.
In Kano alone, he left 500 houses, plus 1,200 plots with only fencing or partial structures, no buildings on them—just empty plots.
He also left 320 houses in other towns across Nigeria and abroad.
He left 280 vehicles in use, and another 120 vehicles that are not in use, just parked.
He left shares worth over ₦30 trillion in companies within and outside Nigeria.
In an interview he granted in 2022, he said he started buying private jets in 1967 at the cost of $120,000 USD. He had 10 private jets, each not worth less than ₦1 billion.
He lived with four wives, had over 45 children and more than 150 grandchildren.
He was buried in Medina, Saudi Arabia according to his wish.
Allahu Akbar🙌
Where does Islam stand in all of this?
Last night, I asked for the backstory to this ruling from the appellate court. And now, I understand the story better.
The Court of Appeal judgment to ban hijab at International School Ibadan, has restarted a heated debate. On one side, we want to defend our sisters' right to wear the hijab. On the other side, people argue that when you enroll, you signed a contract to follow the school rules. It feels like a trap really.
Do we stand up for our faith or respect institutional rules?
To get the full picture, we have to look at how Islam views agreements. Islam strictly commands us to honor our words. If you sign a code of conduct, you should keep it.
But an agreement must be built on honest terms. This is where the hypocrisy of the school lies. ISI sits on federal land and is owned by the University of Ibadan, which is a public university funded by taxpayers.
Yet, they claim a private status just to enforce a hijab ban. You cannot use public assets to deny a constitutional right.
This is why taking this case to the Supreme Court is the right move because we need a clear answer. An institution cannot be public when receiving funding but turn private when it wants to discriminate.
Win or lose, the bigger lesson for the Muslim community is about dignity. We cannot keep begging for acceptance in spaces that resent our identity.
If the law says private spaces can dictate their own terms, then our response should be to build and fund our own top-tier schools that celebrate our values.
True intelligence is fighting for accountability under the law while refusing to allow our religious well-being depend on their validation.
Allah knows best.
A man from Kano who rejected a ₦67 million inheritance because he believed his late father's business was not permissible in Islam has now received ₦100 million in financial support from a Turkish charity.
A powerful reminder that whoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah can replace it with something far better. True wealth lies in obedience, sincerity, and trust in Allah's promise.
NEW PRACTICE DIRECTION
From today, it is compulsory to file the e-copies of processes/records in the Supreme Court.
Comply or you chop 10k daily default.
It’s long due.

This man (Prince Adeniyi Matthew) created a fake government agency called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, appointed himself as DG, secured office space at the Federal Secretariat, opened a CBN account in its name, got N1,302,978,784 allocation in 2026 budget, summoned ambassadors to meetings, held strategic sessions with ministers, and even represented Nigeria at international conferences.
The audacity is almost unbelievable. Nigeria never runs short of ‘yan iska.
In reality, the vocabulary used in Salah is a closed lexical loop of fewer than one hundred unique words.
Because these core phrases are repeated dozens of times a day and thousands of times a year, the human mind easily builds a direct conceptual map. You do not even need to dynamically translate the words in your head while standing on the mat.
Through pure repetition, the Arabic word itself becomes the direct container of the meaning. And it will transform the ritual from a foreign language test into an intimate, automatic conversation.
Ibn al-Qayyim talked about this conversation between a slave and his lord during Solah in his book; As-Salaat wa Hukm Taarikihaa. I have also talked about it in my previous posts.
Now, let’s delve into why everyone cannot just choose to pray in their own language.
It is critical to note that preserving the original Arabic liturgy is a brilliant mechanism to prevent semantic drift and maintain global unity. Also, languages naturally morph over time, and translating deep metaphysical concepts into local dialects flattens them completely.
Take a word like As-Samad from Surah Al-Ikhlas for instance, if you translate it to English as "The Eternal" or "The Absolute," you completely flatten the deep classical Arabic meanings.
The deep classical meanings include "The One who is self-sufficient but whom all creation depends upon" and "The One who has no cavities and does not eat or drink."
With this preservation, the original linguistic matrix, Islam protects its core theology from being diluted by translation errors.
Therefore, if every culture insisted on praying in their native tongue, the core theology would splinter into thousands of local variations over centuries.
And a Muslim from Lagos would not be able to stand in the same row as a Muslim from Tokyo or Istanbul.
For those who genuinely cannot speak the language or are still learning, classical Islamic jurisprudence is incredibly merciful. The major schools of law state that a beginner can use simple, universal phrases of praise such as Subhanallah and Alhamdulillah while they learn the standard lines.
The legal framework rewards the trajectory of learning. Remember, the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us that the person who recites the Quran while struggling with it gets a double reward. One for the recitation and one for the hard effort.
This proves that the system is designed to accommodate human limits rather than shut people out.
Allah knows best.

My attention was drawn to this by one of our people here, and he asked me to go check the comments by our fellow Muslims. The comment section is wild. I see doubts and lack of understanding by many Muslims.
I never knew TikTok is as weird as this. This what happens when people are exposed to constant propaganda. I understand these creeping fears among many Muslims today, and it forms a major part of the warnings I have been giving about certain Yoruba gatekeepers and traditionalists.
These individuals are busy spreading misinformation and lazy propaganda. They try to paint Islam as an alien religion to our people. They weaponize these doubts to ask why we cannot pray in Yoruba and why we must use what they call an “alien” language.
But this confusion stems from a complete misunderstanding of both linguistics and Islamic history. Islam is a religion with a strong root.
First of all, Islam is not ONLY for Arabs. It is for all mankind. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was for all mankind. He spoke Arabic because it was the language of his immediate audience.
For any message to take root and spread, it has to be understood by the people right in front of you first. It would not be natural for a messenger to address his own community in a tongue they do not speak; the communication would break down on day one. To deliver a message effectively, you have to speak the language of the ground you stand on.
Again, please know that you don’t to be an Arab to become muslim. In fact, we have up to 20 million non-Muslim Arabs today. It tells you that you can be a fully practicing Muslim without having a single drop of Arab blood, because Islam is not an ethnic property.
In fact, if you look at the intellectual pillars of this religion, the historical reality is that the vast majority of the people who preserved and contributed to Islam the most were non-Arabs.
Take the Kutub al-Sittah, the foundational six books of Hadith that every Muslim relies on for example. Not a single one of those six authors was an Arab.
Imam al-Bukhari and Imam al-Tirmidhi came from modern Uzbekistan, Imam Muslim and Imam Ibn Majah were from Iran, Imam Abu Dawud was from the Sistan region, and Imam al-Nasa'i was from Turkmenistan. They were all Central Asian and Persian scholars.
Even when you look at other fields, the man who codified Arabic grammar itself, Sibawayh, was a Persian. The foundation of Islamic jurisprudence, Imam Abu Hanifa, was of Persian descent. Our greatest scientists and mathematicians such as al-Khwarizmi, were non-Arabs. Islam belongs to anyone who submits. Submission is the keyword. It is not tied to a specific geography.
Secondly, the idea that using Arabic in Salah makes the religion alien or inaccessible is a cognitive illusion.
To a layman who reads what this lady wrote, he or she would think they need to master the entire Arabic dictionary to understand their prayers.

As early as 1984, Nigerians had realized the appreciation of the value of land in Ikoyi and Victoria Island in Lagos. This realization led people to go as far as taking loans from banks to buy land in these places then rent them out at expensive prices.
The Managing Director of First Bank Nigeria in 1984, Chief Asabia, says "he [the land owner] will get N50,000 by way of rent in a year, and he will get a minimum of 4 to 5 years rent in advance.
So the first slot of payments he receives has cleared his loan in advance and is still substantially okay. He can get another land or buy himself another house in Knightsbridge. It's typical
Many lawyers think mastering the law is enough. It is not. The best advocates understand business, technology, medicine, finance, engineering, language, and even how criminals operate. Every case sits at the intersection of law and another field.
The broader your knowledge, the sharper your analysis, your cross examination, and your advice to clients. Never stop learning. It will make you a better lawyer.
Go to the CS and see the definition of tolerance we preach in Nigeria. Clowns 🤡
I thought we all agreed on freedom of choice for all, so why are people so pained by the fact she didn’t shake hands with strangers?
Mind you, she can’t shake hands with anyhow men like you. For the record, she can shake hands with her husband, her father, her grandfathers, her sons, her brothers, her paternal and maternal uncles, and her nephews.
Unfortunately, you and any of those men in the video are not among them, so you have no right to a handshake and you should respect that. Boundary setting is a choice, deal with it.
