On this note, I would like to urge men who are wealthy enough to hire maids to do so, especially during these celebrations. It is essential that women enjoy the same level of happiness and freedom that we do, particularly during festive times.
This reminds me of Imam Al-Qurtubi’s commentary on the words of Allah in Surah An-Nisa, verse 19:
وعاشروهن بالمعروف
"And live with them honorably."
Al-Qurtubi stated:
"Our scholars [the Maliki school] derived evidence from the statement of Allah the Almighty, (And live with them honorably), that if a single servant is not enough for a woman, the husband is obligated to provide her with as many servants as necessary to meet her needs. This applies to women of high standing, such as the daughter of a caliph, a king, or the like, who cannot be sufficed by just one servant. Providing this is what constitutes 'living with them honorably.'
Conversely, Al-Shafi'i and Abu Hanifa argued: 'He is not obligated to provide more than one servant, as that is sufficient for her personal service. There is no woman in the world for whom one servant is not enough. This is comparable to a fighter who owns several horses but is only allotted a share [of the spoils] for a single horse, because he cannot fight on more than one horse at a time.'
Our scholars countered: This is incorrect. The daughters of kings, who are accustomed to extensive service, cannot be sufficed by a single servant. They require assistance with washing clothes, preparing bedding, and other tasks that one person alone cannot manage. This is perfectly clear. And Allah knows best."
Women should not be subjected to a heavy workload that makes them resent these festivals. Rather, any assistance or provision provided should align with the standard set by the Lord Almighty:
على الموسع قدره وعلى المقتر قدره متاعا بالمعروف حقا على المحسنين.
Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:236:
"The wealthy according to his means and the poor according to his means, a provision of honorable maintenance, a duty upon the doers of good."
So yesterday PCOS was renamed to PMOS. After 11 years and about 22,000 people fighting for it.
If you’re one of the women who was told to just lose weight or come back when you want children, the reason it was renamed is going to make a lot of things make sense.

Men in true love are terrifyingly beautiful.
When you become a man's favorite woman, something shifts in him. He'll skip hangouts without hesitation, laugh at your silliest tantrums, and turn into a playful little boy just to match your mood. He gives up his favorite seat, slides the best piece of food onto your plate, and somehow he learns patience.
And the most beautiful part?
He doesn't even realize he's changing. He listens more carefully. He chooses his words more softly.
He starts building a future in his head, and somehow, you're in every version of it. He just knows your comfort matters. Your smile feels like a victory. Your tears feel like something he wants to fix.
Because when a man truly loves, he doesn't just give you his heart. He makes you his home.
The only Banks Nigeria law gave the license to give loans without interest are ISLAMIC BANKS
There are currently four islamic banks in Nigeria
1. Lotus bank
2. Taj bank
3. Jaiz bank
4. The alternative bank
Many people think the bank are made for Muslims only.
But the banks is for everyone and they give you loan regardless of the religion you practice
Ignorance is no excuse, take action today

when i was in 6th grade i had a gigantic crush on my math teacher, so a couple months into the school year i gathered up the courage to tell him "you know, you're very attractive" (ooh big girl words) This man stopped smiling immediately, looked me dead in my face and said "don't ever say that to me again" and walked away and THAT IS EXACTLY THE WAY GROWN MEN SHOULD ACT WHEN MINORS SAY THINGS LIKE THAT. it hurt little me's feelings BAD and sometimes that is what it takes to not be a weirdo
Bandits are “Muslims” but they are on rampage across northern Nigeria during the holy month of Ramadan, burning muslim villages & killing their fellow muslims who are fasting. We have seen this script elsewhere, we know the conspiracy at play.
I have a friend who has never had sex in his entire life.
He has never dated, and he has kept himself pure for years.
One day he was telling me about his plans to get married, and I looked at him and said something very honest:
"One thing I wish I could undo is the sex I had before marriage."
That statement came from experience.
I was introduced to sex and pornography at a very young age. But at some point I realized something — you cannot blame your past forever. Responsibility eventually becomes personal.
And the truth many people avoid saying is this:
Premarital sex has consequences.
We are naive to think that the moment we receive Christ everything automatically disappears.
Yes, God forgives.
But healing is often a process.
There are memories that stay longer than you expected.
There are attachments that take years to break.
There are patterns that follow you even when you want to change.
Many people carry silent memories.
The emergency pills taken in fear.
The tears of people they hurt.
Relationships built on lust.
Sex that happened without wisdom.
Moments they wish they could erase.
And this applies to both men and women.
Some people assume everything is fine after abortions or broken relationships, but the emotional and spiritual effects of sexual history can remain longer than expected.
The Bible says sexual sin is different because it is a sin against your own body.
Many people don't understand that until years later.
Sex is not just physical.
It connects memory.
It connects emotion.
It connects the mind.
Years later you can suddenly remember someone you slept with.
Sometimes you find yourself comparing your spouse with someone from your past.
Sometimes you battle thoughts you never invited.
Some people cannot stay without sex and end up trapped in pornography and masturbation because their bodies were trained into patterns they never intended.
Healing for me was intentional.
I had to face my past honestly.
I had to pray.
I had to break emotional ties.
I had to renew my mind daily.
It took time.
It took discipline.
It took therapy.
It took prayer.
And slowly, healing came.
Today when I tell young people to avoid sex before marriage, it is not theory.
It is experience.
Purity is not foolishness.
Waiting is not weakness.
Self-control is not backwardness.
The world presents sex as casual, but the effects are rarely casual.
Some experiences stay in your memory longer than expected.
Some attachments take years to break.
Some patterns follow you into marriage.
If you are still pure, protect it.
Don't let anyone make you feel outdated for waiting.
And if you are already involved in sexual sin, understand this:
You can still change direction.
End the pattern.
Renew your mind.
Seek healing.
Seek God.
Freedom is possible.
But freedom requires honesty.
If I could speak to my younger self, I would say this:
That life was not worth it.
The pleasure was temporary.
But the consequences lasted longer than expected.
Today when I see people walking in purity, I respect them deeply.
Because some of us know what it took to come out of the opposite path.
If you are young and reading this:
Avoid sex until marriage.
Not because someone forced you to.
But because some roads are easier never walked than healed from later.
This year, I made a resolution.
I told myself I would stop negotiating with bike men. Whatever price they call, I will pay it. No arguments. No “Oga reduce am”. No dramatic sighing. If that is the amount, that is the amount.
Now, this decision did not come from nowhere.
Bike has always been my daily transport. I have motion sickness. Cars and buses stress me. Few minutes inside a bus or car and my head starts spinning. But on a bike, I am perfectly fine. No nausea. No discomfort. Just breeze and movement. So taking a bike is not a luxury for me. It is a necessity. I take bikes almost every day.
Over time, I started seeing it differently. These bike men are working. They have families to feed. School fees. Rent. Fuel is not smiling. And honestly, they know the distance better than I do. They understand traffic, bad roads, diversions. They know what it really costs to move from one point to another.
So I made a decision earlier this year to stop negotiating.
A week later, I stopped boarding bikes entirely .
Why is nobody talking about this? It’s been two months since these two young women have been in captivity with bandits.
Please, if by chance you see this, please like and repost till it gets to the appropriate authorities. May the Almighty safeguard us and bring them back home in peace.

“THE PHONES NO LONGER RING”
-Yusuf Buhari, son of Late Nigeria’s President explains what life has become after he left the corridors of Power
“After Goodluck Jonathan made that call to my dad to congratulate him on his victory as Nigeria’s next President.
I used to receive up to 2,000 calls a day from different people. The calls would start coming in as early as 4 a.m. — from old classmates, acquaintances, extended family relatives, former maids, and servants who had once worked for the Buhari family at some point.
There were also callers with bogus, untraceable explanations, but my assistant would simply come up with polite excuses to end those conversations quickly!
But the moment my dad left power and handed the baton to His Excellency Bola Tinubu, the calls dropped dramatically to about 100 a day.
After my dad was buried, they reduced even further to around 20 daily — usually just from siblings and business associates.
The phones no longer ring. Nobody truly cares…”
Girl, If he lack emotional intelligence it will never work out fr. You shouldn't have to teach a man how to apologize, how to take accountability, or how to treat you with respect. These are basic qualities that a Man should already possess before entering a relationship !!
Marry someone who thinks everything about you is a big deal.
Your birthday.Favorite Flower . Favorite Food . Favorite place. Business deals.
You in general .
A big deal!
A cheating man is bad enough. But you know what’s even worse? The man who pretends to be good. The one who’s actually a pathological liar, manipulative, lustful, and never admits his faults. The man who constantly plays the victim usually has the most to hide.
“Hey babe, I noticed you’ve been low on energy, have poor sleeping habits, and have mood swings more often. I know sometimes you don’t want to talk about things, but I can’t stay calm with you like this. I need you to function well for me to function better. Pls, what’s wrong?”
