Ya Allah, put barakah in my rizq. Give me enough that I don’t have to compromise my principles. Give me work that makes me useful. Open doors that are good for my dunya and my akhirah, and close doors that would harm me even if they look profitable. Make me ambitious without making me greedy, hardworking without making me anxious, and content without making me complacent. And when You give me something, help me remember that it came from You. Allahumma Ameen.
THE FATTEST AND MOST DANGEROUS LIE EVER TOLD IN NIGERIA
By Dr. Aliyu U. Tilde. 11 June 2023
“Subsidy serves the rich”—meaning that the poor do not enjoy subsidy—has been the fattest lie I have ever heard in the past six decades of my life in Nigeria.
It is told by a group of elites who will never suffer deprivation due to the privileges accorded them by decades of corruption. The most annoying thing is that they have told this lie time and again without blinking an eye whenever the Nigerian government, at the behest of our masters—the IMF, World Bank and international banking institutions—wants to withdraw a service it offers the generality of its citizens.
What will they lose by telling this lie? Nothing. They have homes in world capitals, billions in their accounts, families living overseas and spending holidays there. Their perception of reality and sense of danger is completely different from those of 99% of our citizens who are always living on the brink of poverty and insecurity.
Incapable of good governance and afraid of what it will deprive them of their privileges, they advise every leader to take a short cut: remove the subsidy. Then they hurriedly coverup their treachery with another fat lie: because it is impossible to fight corruption. How can they allow any leader fight corruption since they are its direct beneficiaries?
In the end, the subsidy will be removed and the leeches are all happy because they are allowed the opportunity to further suck the blood of our citizens through the criminal profits they will be making on essential commodities. The resultant voice of suffering does not move them one bit.
Two examples here would suffice. Fertilizer and fuel.
Fertilizer
The last administration was the first to adamantly remove every subsidy on fertilizer in 2016 under the pretext that it benefits the middlemen. Many of us argued then that it was the responsibility of government to protect its citizens from the activities of such middlemen, be they civil servants or businessmen. Abdicating that responsibility and punishing the citizens instead by removing the subsidy completely negates the trust given the government by the electorate.
The tragic side of it was that the people were clapping for the government, which they gave a blank cheque to do as it liked. 2016 became a year of hunger. Today, the high cost of fertilizer has crippled the productivity of most farmers and if it were not for the ban on importation of rice and some other items, nothing would have been left.
The price of food is unbearable to most families and consumers are crying “open the borders”, as I can see from a survey on my Facebook page. When I asked if the ban on importation of food can be lifted regardless of whether farmers and agriculture would be killed, the majority rhetorically asked, “How many times have we died in the hands of the farmers?”

At the end of the day what truly stays with a person is only Allah - everything else fades; this dunya, friends, even the closest relationships
In the end, Allah is enough
Whether @atiku’s subsidy plan will work or not is debatable. What isn’t debatable is that three years after Tinubu’s subsidy removal, life has become unbearable for many Nigerians, and they no longer trust Tinubu to make it better!

To those who still find excuses for terrorists abducting innocent old men, women and children: your silence is not neutrality and your excuses are not religion.
Islam does not need terrorists to speak for it. Anyone who knowingly shelters, finances, justifies or glorifies such criminals is helping terrorism survive and as such, can be labelled a terrorist too.
