there used to be a time in a year when boys would hit the street, going from one friend to another just to share false messages. some would go as far as 2-3km until they found out it was all false. they came back, hissing with a zeal to return the frustration to someone else.
seeing the recent Batch A1 NYSC members flaunting their passing-out pictures, reality quietly set in. many are stepping into a new phase of life... some with job appointments waiting, others still searching for what comes next.
then I thought about the families who once bid farewell without realizing it to their sons and daughters, especially those posted to places where safety was never guaranteed.
while we celebrate those who passed out, we must also remember that some never made it to this moment. across different states, lives were lost... some from situations that could have been prevented.
these fallen Otondos were never given the chance to ask the question: what next after passing out?
... a tribute to the fallen Otondos.

does this mean we should ignore or stop extending kindness? No. rather, this is a call for caution and responsibility.
make sure every penny you donate goes to the right person. wealth is a trust and a responsibility, even when your intention is to help. track the process and ensure that those in charge can give a clear account of how the funds are used.
this is not an avenue to stop helping; it is a reminder to be responsible with the wealth Allah has bestowed upon you.
as Allah says in the Qur'an:
“O you who believe, if a sinner brings you news, verify it, lest you harm people out of ignorance and become regretful.” Surah Al-Hujurat (49:6).

before Ramadan leaves us, think about this.
when we call our parents or someone we need help from, we greet them, explain our worries, and then wait to hear their response.
imagine stating your needs and hanging up immediately without listening.
yet this is how many of us pray to Allah. we go into sujūd, ask for everything, and rise up quickly with a sharp salām.
tonight, if you pray, stay longer in sujūd than you usually do. after asking, remain there in silence.
this time, don’t ask.
Just listen.
feel the peace of prostration.

If there's anything we should ask for within these 10 days of Shahru Ramadan, it is for Allah to increase us in tawakkul. Because without this, creations are impatient.
May Allah grant us the heart of a bird—leaving the nest empty and returning full, solely through His provision.

you see, nothing taught in the scripture — the Qur’an and Hadith — was accidental. everything was intentional, even something as simple as a smile.
a smile was regarded as charity for a reason. I believe it is the least form of charity one can give, yet it can sometimes be the most difficult. it’s almost like asking someone who has just stepped on a nail to do the very opposite of what nature expects of him—to smile.
we are all living through different trials of life: financial struggles, health challenges, relationship issues, tests of faith,...
so when you go out today, smile. be the reason someone’s day becomes a little brighter.

I used to think Al Jazeera was biased.
But, after that Mehdi Hasan interview with Daniel Bwala,
I think i like them now 😂
I wish they will catch Reno on hot seat like this too 😂
You write very well, and your thoughts are well presented.
Applauding foreign journalists sends a thought-provoking message — that we lack journalists who present facts objectively. Aside from @ruffydfire, I can hardly point to any Nigerian journalist who has not been satisfying his or her appetite from government funds.
Once they are fed by this same government, they are often forced to ask questions in ways that allow the government’s narrative to serve as a baseline for what they call “good governance.”
