Our law enforcement agents must not only bring the perpetrators to justice, but also ensure they step up their game in restoring public confidence in the authorities.
No one is safe in a society where jungle justice is allowed to thrive. The gruesome killing of Mallama Ummulkhair Usman in Maraban Jos, Kaduna State, is despicable.
That the police allegedly handed over the innocent mother of four to the mob is even more shocking.
Do you know difference between Laylatul Qadr and the Day of Arafat?
On Laylatul Qadr: Everything comes DOWN.
The Qur’an descended.The angels descend.
The Qadr descend. Mercy pours from the heavens
But the Day of Arafah is completely different.
@InecNigeria Don't recruit adhoc staff if you know you would replace them. I got invited for training in Bwari Central for the #FCTdecide2027 election. I attended the training and yesterday, I was posted to a PU and this morning. I got replaced with someone else.
My 71-year-old client sees his daughter maybe 6 times a year.
They live 50 minutes apart.
Not estranged. Not fighting.
Just... busy.
Holidays. Birthdays. The occasional Sunday dinner.
"We text every day," he told me. "We're really close."
I did the math in front of him.
He's 71. Statistically, he has maybe 12-15 years left.
Six visits a year.
That's 72-90 more times he'll see her in person.
He stared at the number.
"90 more times with my daughter?"
He went quiet for a minute.
"That's it? That's all that's left?"
Tim Urban from Wait But Why calculated something that stopped me cold:
By the time you leave home at 18, you've already spent 93% of your in-person time with your parents.
The remaining 7% gets spread thinly—just a few days per year—across the next several decades of their lives.
You think you have forever.
The math says different.
He called her that night.
Now she comes for coffee every Sunday.
"I've seen her 11 times in the last 3 months," he told me.
"More than all of last year."
He didn't need a financial plan.
He needed to see the number.
Sometimes the most important math has nothing to do with money.
1/2. In Islam, if a you k!ll someone by MISTAKE, you will pay Diyyah (blood money) to the victim’s family. The amount is defined in Islamic law and tied to the value of gold and silver, so it fluctuates.
As of today, it is estimated at about ₦894 million
How do Hausa businessmen even make their profit, especially those that own provision stores?
I went to buy groceries from this man’s shop, got everything I needed, and he was so friendly we even gisted a lot.
I then saw a pack of 5Alive and asked for the price. When he told me, I said he shouldn’t bother, I’d get it another time.
This man insisted I take it, wrote his account number on a piece of paper, and told me to pay whenever I was ready without collecting my number or giving me his own.
He doesn’t even know me from Adam.
Honestly, only a Hausa man can do this.
Professor Is-haq Oloyede still remains one of the finest administrators we have had in Nigeria. He reformed University of Ilorin. He also reformed JAMB. Unfortunately, he did not become Minister of Education but he remains an icon and a role model for me ❤️
