People are going through difficult times. Help others with the little you have whenever you can. At the same time, work hard and pray hard. Seek help when you are truly in need, but do not expect anything from others, and avoid a sense of entitlement.
The tragic death of the retired Major General Rabe requires the urgent need for decisive action against the bandit networks operating in the North West.
There is a need to immediately intensify intelligence-driven operations to isolate the criminal enclaves, and nutrialised those responsible for orchestrating this horrible killing.
Very sad
“We are mobilizing protests across Northern states, then we will proceed to Abuja with our beds and Garri and stay there until Tinubu listens to us and take urgent action to solve our problems.” Enough is Enough!

BREAKING: Kidnappers Release Wife and Hand Over Body of Late Retired Major General Rabe Abubakar
It has been reported that the wife of late retired Major General Rabe Abubakar has been released by her abductors, while his body has also been handed over to the family.
According to family sources, funeral arrangements are expected to take place in Katsina in line with Islamic rites.
The incident has sparked deep sorrow and concern, as prayers continue to pour in for the deceased and for the safe recovery of others still in captivity across affected regions.
May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings and grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus, and also protect all those still in the hands of kidnappers. 🤲
Assalam brother,
Are you still seeing what you wanted us to believe?
I am also wondering which refinery you visited if it’s a fact now that none of the refineries in Nigeria actually got rehabilitated. Could you also verify to us where the $2.1 billion for these refineries went?
These are the names of some of the children kidnapped in Borno state on Friday 15th May 2026. We don’t even still have their complete names. But at least we have someone. Immortalize their names and ingrain their names in the minds of the people.
You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.
Shine babbar matsalata da malam. Da abun ya shafeshi ya fito ya nuna rashin adalci akayi.
Kwanakin baya da aka tambayesa meyasa yake shiru yanzu, yace saboda yanada direct contact da masu mulki so idan yyi mgna private ba Sai ya fito public ba.
Kaga yanzuma Sai yaje private 😂
The healthcare system in Katsina State is in a state of severe acute-on-chronic dysfunction. While the state government appears unwilling to improve working conditions, the system is haemorrhaging health professionals at an alarming rate.
Hardly a week passes without reports of a doctor, nurse, laboratory scientist, pharmacist, or physiotherapist leaving the employ of the state government.
I do not know whether the governor is aware of it or not, but a catastrophe is lurking on the horizon.
A stitch in time… 🕰️
A Persian scholar finished a single math book in 9th century Baghdad that quietly became the foundation for every line of code running on Earth today.
I started reading about him at midnight and could not believe how many things in my daily life trace back to one man.
His name was Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. The book is called The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing.
Every time you say the word algebra, you are saying his book title. Every time someone says the word algorithm, they are saying his name. Both English words come from him. Both are Latin transliterations of Arabic and of his own identity. The man did not just contribute to mathematics. He named it.
Here is the part almost nobody tells you.
Al-Khwarizmi was born around 780 CE in Khwarazm, in what is now Uzbekistan. He moved to Baghdad and worked at a research institution called the House of Wisdom, which during the Islamic Golden Age was the single most important center of learning on the planet. The caliph al-Mamun hired the best mathematicians, astronomers, and philosophers from across three continents and put them in one building with one job. Translate, study, and produce new knowledge.
Al-Khwarizmi finished his book on algebra around 820 CE. The Arabic title contained the word al-jabr, which referred to one of the two operations he used to solve equations. When the book was translated into Latin in the 12th century, the Latin world did not have a word for what he had built. So they kept his Arabic word. Al-jabr became algebra. The discipline was named after a single Arabic word in the title of a single book by a single man.
The deeper insight is what he actually changed about how humans think.
Before al-Khwarizmi, mathematical problems were solved geometrically. You drew shapes. You measured them. You compared areas. The Greeks had built an entire mathematical tradition on visual proofs and physical constructions. It was beautiful and limited. You could not solve a problem you could not draw.
Al-Khwarizmi did something nobody had done before him at this scale. He said you could solve any problem using abstract symbols and rules. You did not need a shape. You needed a procedure. You moved terms across the equation. You cancelled like terms on both sides. You isolated the unknown. He invented the idea that mathematics is a manipulation of symbols according to rules, not a study of physical figures.
That single shift made everything that came afterward possible. Calculus. Differential equations. Linear algebra. Quantum mechanics. None of it works if math is locked inside geometry. He pulled it out.
The second thing he did is the one that changed how the world counted forever. He took the Hindu numeral system from Indian mathematics, refined it, and wrote a book introducing it to the Arab world. That system included the concept of zero as a placeholder, and a positional notation where the value of a digit depends on its location. Roman numerals could not do complex calculation. Hindu-Arabic numerals could.
When his book on numerals was translated into Latin as Algoritmi de numero Indorum, the word Algoritmi was just the Latin spelling of his own name. Europeans started calling the new method "doing algorism," then "running an algorithm." The word for the most important concept in computer science is literally his name in Latin.
The third thing he did is the part that should haunt anyone who works in tech.
His method of solving problems was systematic. Step one, do this. Step two, check that. Step three, if condition A, then do X, otherwise do Y. He wrote down procedures that could be followed by anyone, anywhere, who knew how to read. The procedure did not depend on intuition or genius. It worked because the steps worked.
That is exactly what an algorithm is. A finite, deterministic procedure for solving a problem. He did not just give us the word. He gave us the entire concept of programming a thousand years before there was anything to program.
When Alan Turing built the first abstract model of computation in 1936, when John von Neumann designed the first stored-program computer in 1945, when every engineer at Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind writes code in 2026, they are working in a paradigm that started with one man in Baghdad twelve centuries ago.
The strangest part is what happens when you walk into any tech office in San Francisco or Bangalore or Lahore today. Engineers say the words algebra and algorithm hundreds of times a day. They do not know whose name they are saying. Almost nobody can spell al-Khwarizmi correctly on the first try.
His original Arabic manuscript is preserved at Oxford. His book on Hindu numerals survives only in Latin translation. The Latin version was the textbook that taught medieval Europe how to count.
The man who built the foundation of the AI revolution did not live to see a calculator. He died around 850 CE, a thousand years before the first electric current was sent through a wire. The civilization he built mathematics for collapsed. The library he wrote in burned. His own grave is unmarked.
But every algorithm running on every machine on Earth right now still answers to his name.
