The Muslim world’s financial “backwardness” is actually proof that classical Islamic scholars were the most sophisticated macroeconomic thinkers of the pre-modern era and the West accidentally proved it in 2008.

The prohibition of riba was never primarily a moral injunction against greed alone rather It was a systemic design principle to prevent the decoupling of money from productive economic activity. When you ban interest-bearing debt as the engine of capital accumulation, you force wealth to remain tethered to real assets, real partnerships, real risk-sharing.

The entire 2008 financial crisis was a textbook demonstration of what happens when you build an economy on the exact mechanism Islamic jurisprudence spent centuries arguing against: the multiplication of money through money, completely detached from underlying value. CDOs, mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps: pure riba architecture collapsing under its own abstraction.

Islamic banks largely weathered 2008 better than conventional ones because the structural rules prohibited the specific instruments that caused the collapse.

The insane part: Western economists spent the 20th century mocking Islamic finance as a medieval relic. Then they spent the 21st century slowly reinventing through “stakeholder capitalism,” ESG investing, and calls to link executive pay to long-term performance, the core intuition that capital must carry risk to be legitimate.

Fuqaha in the 9th century called it. No gain without exposure to loss.
They just didn’t have the PowerPoint.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases.

A "cognitive bias" is a built-in glitch in our brain that quietly sabotages good decisions.

These are the 11 craziest and most dangerous cognitive biases I've found: 👇

Attributing Peter Obi's electoral loss solely to ethnic bias, rather than acknowledging the short timeframe that limited his chance to change some people's perceptions, will make it harder for him to win over those accused of prejudice.

Why should I join you if I have to prove my loyalty three times over, just because you see me as an “Afonja,” a traitor?

Why should I join a group that already questions my sincerity before I even speak, because “Awolowo starved us during the civil war”?

Why should I join people who, if I express a different view, will say, “Of course, he’s Yoruba—I don’t know why they hate us”?

South West should declare certain areas as Agriculture zones to prevent the emergence of these developers from encroaching into fertile land meant for agriculture. Preservation is necessary.

Nigeria is in a deep mess that we are failing to acknowledge. Fraud boys with little education are entering politics because they are rich and they need to clean their money.

Soon, we will have full blown Yahoo boys in power, making laws and executing them. I have fears.

My father sent me #6000 through POS Yesterday

I had a visitor on Friday who planned to stay for 3 days

The visitor got to my place in the afternoon, I asked, "What have you eaten since morning?

"Bread."
Oh, that's good, then I went for 4'O clock prayer.
