“A Lesson I Will Never Forget ❤️
Last Thursday, around 4:00 p.m., we were called to the hospital to donate blood for my younger sister, who was about to undergo a C-section.
When we got there, they tested our blood, but unfortunately, none of us had the matching blood group. I decided to rush back to the market so we could find other relatives or friends to come and get tested. Time was running out.
On my way, around Danjar Yankura by France Road, a traffic officer stopped me for allegedly making a wrong turn (changing direction).
I was already stressed and worried. I explained to him that I wasn’t trying to be difficult, I was only in a hurry because my sister urgently needed blood for surgery. Instead of listening, he asked me to “settle” him. I only had ₦150 in my pocket, and I told him that was all I had and I couldn’t give it away because of the emergency. He then said I should wait for his superior officer (OC).
When the OC arrived, I explained everything that had happened. He asked me a simple question:
“What blood group is needed?”
I replied, “O positive.”
He looked at me and said,
“That’s my blood group too. Let’s go to the hospital.”
I was speechless.
He followed me to the hospital, donated his own blood, and that blood was used for my sister’s operation.
By the grace of God, the C-section was successful. Today, both the mother and the baby are safe and healthy.
That moment changed the way I see people.
If someone had told me before that a traffic officer would personally donate blood to save a stranger’s life, I might not have believed it, especially with all the negative stories we often hear.
This experience reminded me that everywhere you go, you will find both good people and bad people.”
Moral lessons; We should never judge everyone by the actions of a few. There are still kind-hearted people who are willing to help without expecting anything in return.
May Almighty Allah reward that officer abundantly, protect him, bless his family, grant him success in his work, and continue to use him as a source of goodness for others.
Humanity still exists. Hope still exists. And kindness can come from the most unexpected places. ❤️
A WhatsApp message was sent about a German Muslim man who had passed away.
None of his family was Muslim except his wife. There was no one to pray janazah over him or bury him in the Muslim cemetery.
What happened next is what every Muslim needs to hear.
"My husband had just left for a business trip when my six-year-old daughter whispered, 'Mommy... we have to run. Now.' I asked her, 'What? Why?'. She was trembling as she said, 'There's no time. We have to get out of the house right now.' I grabbed our bags & reached for the
I finally ask my girlfriend for marriage.
Her father said:
“You need to have a house and a car first.”
I told him:
“That’s an unrealistic expectation.”
The conversation turned into a serious argument.
In the end, I asked an old counselor who was right.
He said this:
5. The old wisdom: what you sow, you harvest.
No quote needed. Just the principle.
She sowed resentment for years and reaped distance.
Then she sowed devotion for five months and reaped devotion.
The field does not care about your past intentions. Only your current actions. Start now.
Before getting married to a woman,
I asked a respected, veteran marriage counselor what truly matters when choosing a woman.
I thought he’d say:
No tattoos
Not into partying
Doesn’t drink
Low body count
No male friends
But instead, he said this:
7. "Look at whether she can be alone."
A woman who cannot be alone will attach to anyone. She will stay in situations that aren't right. She will make you responsible for her happiness.
A woman who can be alone chooses you because she wants you, not because she needs you. That is the only foundation that holds.
"Ina Masu Neman Admission, da Masu Neman Aure, da Masu Neman Sana'a , da Masu Neman Jari, to Ku dinga karanta wannan Ayar a duk Lokacin da kuke Fafutukar nema".
I asked my father how to be a great man.
I expect him to say:
Work a lot
Take care of your wife
Take care of your kids
Treat others respectfully
But what he said includes nothing above:
This is how Nigerians will understand the new tax law in a simple way:
1.Anyone who earns less than ₦800,000 per year will not pay tax.
2.Anyone who earns ₦800,000 to ₦3,000,000 will pay tax at 15%.
•15% of ₦2,000,000 = ₦300,000
•15% of ₦3,000,000 = ₦450,000
3.Anyone who earns ₦3,000,000 to ₦12,000,000 will pay tax at 18%.
•18% of ₦5,000,000 = ₦900,000
•18% of ₦10,000,000 = ₦1,800,000
4.Anyone who earns ₦12,000,000 to ₦25,000,000 will pay tax at 21%.
•21% of ₦20,000,000 = ₦4,200,000
•21% of ₦25,000,000 = ₦5,250,000
5.Anyone who earns ₦25,000,000 to ₦50,000,000 will pay tax at 23%.
•23% of ₦30,000,000 = ₦6,900,000
•23% of ₦50,000,000 = ₦11,500,000
6.Anyone who earns ₦50,000,000 and above will pay tax at 25%.
The Council of Ulama members are all allegedly unhappy with the Sultan of Sokoto, according to today's sermon at our mosque.
Allegedly, the ulama were summoned to Kaduna for a council meeting before meeting the President in Abuja. They reportedly agreed on what to tell the President, including disagreeing with the appointment of the INEC chairman. They met His Excellency, and everyone voiced their concerns—with the President agreeing—before the Sultan disassociated himself from everything they had said, making everyone in the meeting look foolish in front of the president.
WHO NEXT?
THREE (3) ON THEIR WAY OUT:
Gen Danbazau ... ignored
El- RUFAI Nasir ... Sidelined
Badaru ......forced out
Three more on their way out, voluntarily, tactfully or forcefully , willy- nilly, because they must give way for the all round takeover
This has to be as Tinubu makes new political friends, new foreign and local influencers who are dictating the tune, the terrain, the music, the drummers and the dancers.
Tinubu and his media team used a fake coup to deceive the public.
Tinubu needed to change this man because it wasn't working according to his agreement.
Lessons.
Today, I ran into a Hausa man who was selling belts. He flaunted them before me when he walked towards where I parked my car. I quickly remembered that I needed a belt for my son.
.
I bought two and asked for the man's account number. He gave me and I did a transfer of 3k. And when he confirmed receipt, I threw the the belts into my car and walked away.
.
This evening when I got home, I saw a paper conspicuously tucked into the wiper of my car. I sensed it was a message for me.
.
In the paper was boldly written; PLEASE CALL THIS NUMBER 070.... IT IS URGENT.
.
I dialed the number but it was not answered at the other end. I gave up after two attempts.
.
At dinner, I settled down to go through my phone while I munched my food with smooth appetite. Then to my consternation and shock, I found instead of the 3k I was to pay for the belt, I had sent 30k!
.
Food suddenly turned to sawdust in my mouth immediately. My eyes shot out of their sockets like popcorns. My arms and feet felt like bicycle senews! My head a half filled bucket of water spinning or dangling like a pendulum.
.
How and where in God's name will I ever run into Aboki again? I thought helplessly. And if I ever did, how would I recognize him?
.
That was how I left my food and went upstairs to bemoan my fate. 30k in this APC era!
.
To cut a long story short, I just got a return call from the number on the paper tucked into my wiper minutes later. The voice of a lady greeted me.
.
"Good evening, yes I called because I found the number on my car." I mumbled into the mouthpiece.
.
The lady introduced herself as a POS agent. A belt seller had told her to transfer 27k to the owner of the car who bought two belts from him. He had waited for nearly two hours hoping he would see me come and drive away but I never returned. He narrated how I mistakenly transferred 30k to him and demanded that she write her number for him so he could tuck it into my car.
.
How he cleverly designed this means to reach me and return my 27k is still a mystery to me. I am just here wondering why some people are giving up on Nigeria when there are still good people like this fellow.
.
May God bless him and his generation. Indeed there are just two tribes of people on the surface of the earth; the GOOD and the BAD. This man belongs to the good tribe.
.
I can confidently say he is my BROTHER or KINSMAN. I could offer him free land in my village to farm and live in.
.
Until we begin to tread on the paths of life with this kind of mindset, we will be doomed by the hate and selfishness emanating from the coven of religion, tribe, race and tongue which will only continue to divide us.
