Back then, I and @Haidar_009 were completely down bad 💔 money no dey until month end, so hunger was doing us anyhow. We decide to check on @umarkhalifa19 maybe he had cooked something so we could eat there.
When we got there, we discovered say the guy himself was even more broke than us 😂 But he still said he had some flour left and quickly suggested he would prepare Beans dumplings (Dan Wake) for us.
We were happy small 😭 After he finished cooking, he served us and we started eating. But while eating, I noticed something strange 🤔
Normally, when you eat Dan Wake with your bare hands, your fingers are always oily, you even end up sucking them because of the rich oil and taste.
But this one? Nothing 😭 It was completely dry. Even when you suck your fingers, all you could taste was just maggi and pepper.
I kept quiet until we finished eating, then I asked Umar,
“Kai wai me yasa hannun mu babu maiqo ne kwata kwata kamar ba dan wake muka gama ci ba?” 😭
He looked at us and said,
“Kai wallahi bani da mai, bayan na gama dafawa, ruwa kawai na yayyafa masa da maggi da yaji na kawo muku. Kuma gashi mun riga mun tashe shi, muyi ta cikin school kawai”
Just like that, we stood up and entered school, still confused 😭💔 how we ate Dan wake with zero oil experience 😂
A man getting his children ready for school is not assisting his wife. He is their father, and he is simply being involved in parenting. He is not assisting; he is actively parenting.
When a father helps his children get ready for school, it should not be seen as him helping his wife, as if parenting is solely her responsibility and he is merely offering support. Rather, he is fulfilling his own role as a parent.
Being involved in his children’s lives is not an act of help; it is his responsibility. He is not doing a favor; he is actively parenting. Fatherhood is not assistance; it is full participation in parenting. It is about fulfilling his equal role.
The point is to redefine fatherhood as active involvement, not occasional assistance.
My wife and I were giving each other the silent treatment last week. I realized I’d need her to wake me up at 8 AM because I had an early Wedding Fatiha to attend in Kaduna. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, I wrote her a note:
“Please wake me up at 8 AM.”
The next morning, I woke up, looked at the clock, and saw it was already 10 AM. I had missed the wedding.
Furious, I was about to yell at her when I noticed a piece of paper beside the bed. It read:
“It’s 8 AM. Wake up.”
😭
I witnessed something small but powerful today.
I was at our market and a young boy (Almajiri) was trying to buy food. He kept counting the money in his hand over and over, it clearly wasn’t enough.
The woman selling the food watched him for a few seconds, then quietly added more to his plate and said, “Go, it’s okay.”
The boy just stood there for a moment like he didn’t even know what to say.
I don’t know why, but that moment touched me. I reached into my pocket and gave him a little extra to support him.
In a country where everyone is trying to survive, some people still choose to be kind.
That alone gave me hope.

Information About the Jinn
Allah says:“And I did not create jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” (Qur’an 51:56)
The jinn see us while we cannot see them, because Allah has placed a veil over human eyesight. Their natural appearance is terrifying, and if humans were to see them in their original form, we might be struck with fear or shock.
The jinn live around us, and scholars mention that they exist in several forms. Among the known types are:
1. ‘Ifrit
A strong category of jinn, capable of moving objects quickly. They are often used by sorcerers and magicians.
2. Al-Khabāth / troublesome jinn
These jinn disturb humans in different ways, such as whispering, causing fear, or trying to harm people.
3. Ghilan
These can appear in the form of humans, cats, dogs, donkeys, or other animals.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:“The jinn are of three types: a type that has wings and flies through the air; a type that appears as snakes and dogs; and a type that travels and stops to rest.” Reported by al-Tahhaawi and al-Tabarani, authenticated by al-Albani.
Generally
All of them are weak, and they flee when the Qur’an is recited especially Surah Yaseen, Surah Al-Baqarah, and the Mu‘awwidhatayn (Surah Al-Falaq and An-Nas).
Advice for Protection
1. When changing your clothes, say Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem, so that the jinn do not see your nakedness.
2. When sleeping, lie on your right side and recite the Mu‘awwidhatayn. This protects you from nightmares, suffocation, and disturbances from the jinn.
3. Avoid stabbing dolls or puppets with pins or nails, because jinn may inhabit such objects, and disturbing them could cause harm.
4. Do not shout loudly at night, as this may disturb the jinn and cause them to react.
5. Do not sit and cry alone for too long. Some jinn react to human emotions and may attempt to approach, causing fear or discomfort.
6. When throwing something or jumping from a high place, mention the name of Allah, because a jinn may be resting there and feel harmed.
7. Do not pour hot water into the toilet without saying the du‘a for entering the restroom:“Allahumma inni a‘udhu bika minal-khubuthi wal-khabaa’ith.”
Toilets are places jinn frequent.
8. If your ears suddenly whistle for no medical reason, or you smell fire, it may indicate the presence of a jinn.
9. If an animal behaves strangely and does not react to you, it may be a jinn in that form.
10. Do not stand naked in front of a mirror, because a jinn might fall in love with you and try to interfere with your life.
Final Reminder
Do not be scared.
Always remember Allah, for the jinn weaken and flee when Allah is mentioned just like metal melts in fire.
The Mu‘awwidhatayn are Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas.
We’re back to shouting ‘Bring Back Our Girls’ again. After more than 15 years, Nigeria’s insecurity hasn’t changed. Same pain, same stories, same fear. It’s exhausting.
These terrorists don’t pray, they don’t bathe, they don’t recite the Qur’an, and they don’t follow any of the teachings of Islam
The only thing they know how to do is kill, kidnap, rape, and shout “Allahu Akbar” in order to taint the image of the very Muslims they’re killing
But you’ll still see people who should know better giving them the “Muslim” tag.
