I sing in English, you don't understand.
I sing in Yoruba, you don't get it.
Even if I sing in any other tongue, you still won't understand.
So we carry on in the calamity we've landed ourselves.
Worse is to come, I assure you, if we don't bend to change.
Hello Lola, I am a Muslim, and our spiritual tradition has a very deep approach to raising children. I want to share some tips from our scholars that will be beneficial to you regardless of your faith.
First of all, our theology teaches the concept of Fitrah. This means that every child is born with a pure heart. At six years old, she is not a criminal mastermind. She does not have a wicked soul.
If she doesn’t have all these, then what is happening? The truth is that she is just lacking impulse control and testing boundaries. By this, if you look at her as a manipulator, you will fight her. However, if you look at her as a pure soul making mistakes, you will be able to guide her.
Secondly, for every problem anyone faces today, it has been solved in history. The only problem is how to locate them.
A classical scholar named Al-Ghazali wrote about child psychology over 900 years ago in his famous book “Ihya Ulum al-Din.” In his section on disciplining children, he gave a practical rule I want you to adopt going forward.
He advised that parents should never push a child into a corner where they are forced to lie. When you ask a question you already know the answer to, her survival instinct kicks in. She cries and she lies to defend herself because she is scared of you. Stop interrogating her. Just look at her and state the fact. Say, I know you took this, and we are going to return it right now.
Again, another scholar and sociologist Ibn Khaldun addressed this exact behavior in his masterpiece titled: “Al-Muqaddimah.” He warned that when a child is raised with harsh punishment, they learn deceit, trickery, and lying to protect themselves. This is why she is covering her tracks and crying to manipulate you. The fear of a harsh reaction is making her a better liar.
Lola, do not attach a label to her. Do not ever call her a thief. If you attack her identity instead of her action, she will internalize it and grow into that dark label. Tell her the action is wrong but protect her dignity.
Make her return the item. Do not fall for the tears. Hold her hand, walk her back to wherever she took it from, and make her hand it back and apologize. The discomfort of returning a stolen item teaches a much better lesson than beating her will ever do.
Finally, I don’t know if you are a Muslim, but never underestimate the power of your own words. In our faith, we believe the prayer of a parent for a child goes straight to God without any barrier. Pray over her. Pray for her heart to be content and for her character to be straight.
Keep doing this consistently and the habit will break.
Allah knows best.

“When I arrived at Harvard University, I went into the classes believing I fully understood the cases. I read the material, drew my conclusions and thought I had everything clear.
But when I sat in the room with more than 80 people from different fields — business, media, entertainment, sport — the discussion started and immediately went in a completely different direction. Inside I thought: ‘I know nothing. What I saw is only a small fraction of all this.’
That’s when I understood something no one tells you when you’re an elite athlete: we live in a bubble where we think seeing the game gives us a full perspective on life.
At Harvard, each person brought a different point of view. That clash of perspectives opened my mind.
That school forced me to listen, ask questions, and accept that my experience didn’t make me an expert. It taught me that talent can take you far, but intellectual humility allows you to grow.”
God gave me this gift so I could be a hand for those who are still reaching. If I am the only one who makes it, then I haven't truly made it.
"We see the high-fashion fits and the luxury lifestyle on Instagram. But the true 'Standard' of Amad Diallo was written the moment his first big Manchester United paycheck hit his bank account. While the world was talking about his transfer fee, Amad was busy quietly deleting the poverty of an entire neighborhood."
In 2021, shortly after moving to England, Amad didn't buy a Ferrari. He reached out to his community in the Ivory Coast. He found out that many of the families he grew up with were struggling for basic necessities clean water, medical care, and school fees for the children who dreamed of being 'the next Amad.'
Without a single camera crew or a PR team, Amad funded a massive shipment of food and essential supplies to his hometown. But he went a step further. He tracked down the coaches and the mentors who gave him his first pair of boots when he had nothing.
He didn't just send them a "thank you" text. He bought them houses. He ensured that the men who spent their lives coaching kids in the dirt for free would never have to worry about a roof over their heads again.
When asked why he did it so quietly, Amad simply said: "God gave me this gift so I could be a hand for those who are still reaching. If I am the only one who makes it, then I haven't truly made it." 🔴✨
"A 'Starboy' shines for himself. A 'Prince' shines so others can see the way out of the dark. 🔴🌍"
"Character is what you do when the 'Engagement' is zero.
The "critic" call him a 'bench player' or a 'below per signing.' They don't see the dozens of families who eat every night because Amad Diallo wears the Red of Manchester United. That isn't a "burden" of pressure; it's the fuel that makes him glide past defenders. He isn't playing for a 7/10 rating; he’s playing for a continent.
Are you working to 'arrive,' or are you working to 'bring' others with you? 🛡️🔥💎

Do you agree,
Manchester United’s defeat was to some point brought about by Lammens, who realistically could have dived to safely save that ball.
He miscalculated.
Maguire had already done his job well by pressing.
In my opinion, this time Lammens was the one at fault.
