Spending the evenings with a 15 year old family member will remind you how important it is to sit down and talk to young people and give them a safe space.
Guys, I’m feeling really hurt, and I don’t know if I’m overreacting. I’m 25, and I grew up hearing my parents say that everyone has to deal with the consequences of their own choices. From a young age, they taught me that nobody was going to fix my life for me. So I worked, saved money, gave up a lot of things, and never asked them for financial help, even when I was struggling. But my 34-year-old brother has always done the opposite.
THE ENERGY OF FORGIVENESS
(Ikon GaFara)
Shin kana ɗauke da wani ɓacin rai a zuciarka wanda Yake hanaka ci gaba? In metaphysics, holding onTo resenTment is Like drinkiNg poison and expecTing The oTher pErson To die.

ForgivenEss is The ulTimate acT oF self-Love and LiberaTion. Kada ka bari Abinda Ya wuce Ya hana ka ganin hasken da ke gabanka.
Release The past To creaTe space For Your Future. Ka zaɓi ka YaFe, ba dan su ba, Amma don kanka ka sami damar ci gaba da raYuwarka cikin kwanciar hankaLi.
LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE:
His Wedding Ceremony Became His Funeral
At exactly 10:00 a.m. today, he was supposed to begin a new chapter of his life as a husband. Instead, he was laid to rest in peace 🪦. Insha Alllah
The late Muhammad Kabir Danjuma spent years pursuing education and building a future. His family and friends had completed every preparation for his wedding, but Allah’s decree came before their plans.
The day that was meant to be filled with joy and celebration became the day they said their final goodbye.
This is a powerful reminder that life is uncertain. None of us knows when our time will come. Let us strive to do good, strengthen our relationship with Allah, and treat others with kindness, because death gives no warning.
May Allah forgive Muhammad Kabir Danjuma, have mercy on him, grant him Al-Jannatul Firdaus, and give his family and loved ones the strength to bear this painful loss. Ameen.
Indeed, life is temporary. May Allah have mercy on his soul. 🤲

My story is different because I was born and raised in a mud house by parents who could barely afford one square meal a day.
It took a lot to get out of that life. I squatted with friends, faced rejection, humiliation, and countless difficult moments along the way.
Fast forward to today, I can boost of a ride, a home, and many of the things I once could only dream about. I’m even building something far bigger than myself.
I’m not in competition with anyone. My only goal is to keep growing, stay grateful, and remain real till I die

People won’t post you to celebrate your birthday, your wedding, or any of your achievements. But the moment you’re gone, they’ll suddenly post you just to let everyone know they knew you. 💔
May Allah purify our hearts, strengthen us against our desires, grant us sincere repentance and make our souls among those that find peace in His remembrance. Ameen.
The rate at which people are dying these days is extremely scary wallahi 🥺😭💔
Allah mun tuba ka yafe mana…. Yaa Allah don’t let us return to You until you’re pleased with us Yaa Rabbi.
Silence is one of two valid options. Every time.
Most people treat it as a last resort when they have nothing to say.
The hadith frames it as an active choice.
Often the correct one.
Truly heartbreaking.....
Usama and his friends, young lads in their twenties left Sokoto by road, wide-eyed, full of hope and ambition, believing they were stepping into opportunity when they travelled to Abidjan for their trade in phone parts.
They were arrested under suspicious circumstances and detained in MACA prison, Abidjan without charge or trial since last year. Far away from home, without language access or familiar support systems, they were literally abandoned to rot away in Prison.
Their unfortunate circumstances was brought to my attention in April this year and when I contacted our Embassy in Abidjan, I was dismayed to discover that they had not even been notified of their arrest by the authorities there .
The conditions in prison were very difficult, as expected, and and one of detainees, Usama Murtala became ill, and with poor medical attention his health worsened over time.
With sustained engagements by our Mission, and diplomatic interventions by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we are happy to secure the release of these citizens.
It is a bittersweet moment. Usama, whose health condition had worsened by then, was overjoyed to be finally free.
Our officers at the Nigeria High Commission made spirited efforts to save his life by rushing him to a Critical Care Hospital for treatment, but alas, it was too late for Usama. He died the next morning, far from home and family, oblivious to the fact that his mother and siblings in Sokoto, were excitedly preparing for his return.
It was, for me, a heartbreaking moment of engagement with his family. Usama would not be coming home.
Usama had seen freedom, but did not live long enough to return home and enjoy it.
Usama was buried the day after, with his co-detainees and officers of our Embassy present, in a cemetery in the outskirts of Abidjan in accordance with Islamic rites as his parents requested.
Today, we are bringing home the survivors of this unfortunate incident. Young men who set out with hope, but their dreams were interrupted in ways they never expected.
This is not just one story. It is a reflection of many. Many of our prisoners overseas are vulnerable young people who leave home in search of opportunity, caught in a web of judicial or unjust systems they do not fully grasp and are subsumed under it's weight.
Usama’s story remains a painful reminder of how fragile life can be for young people who set out on these journeys which carry both risk and promise and the difficulties in navigating unfamiliar systems in an unfamiliar environment .
It is a human story of youth, of migration, of survival, of hope, of the cost of dreams carried far away, and of loss.
It mirrors the pain that sits in the silence of families waiting for someone who will never walk through the door…buried far from the land where he was meant to rest.
This is my song for Usama, a tribute to all who left home in hope and returned only in memory. I pray that he is not reduced to a mere statistic…just another life wasted by a system in a foreign country who gave no chance to a young lad who left Sokoto by road carrying hope in his pocket and a future in his heart.
This is the reality many of our citizens face when they travel in search of greener pastures. Many are young people whose paths take unexpected and tragic turns. This is yet another life, cut short in prime. We will be taking up Usama's case with the Ivorian Authorities.
To the survivors of this harrowing ordeal Aliyu Malami, Nasiru Umar, Shamsu Abubakar, Sa’adu Bello, Lyman Mohammed, we will be there to receive you and celebrate your triumph over adversity.
In advance, we say, "welcome home".
May the Soul of Usama Murtala Rest in Peace.
