My mum is both. It’s from her I learned how to set boundaries. She was never quiet when she felt disrespected. If she yell at you, she’ll apologise and then tell you why she yelled at you. No insults or anything. Even if you offends her, she’ll still wake you up with prayers.
@SheIsBukki@fancy_temi If I may add another perspective to her response- My mom had me at 31, she was mildly educated, had the roughest marriage, didn’t have the best relationship with her mother as a child but she flipped the trauma around. my mom is my best friend. Idk how she did that honestly.
Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.
It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.
Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.
This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
It’s a big shame for Nigeria.
Just in case someone from the @UN@UNDRR or @WorldBankGroup@WorldBankAfrica@WBG_ClimateEnv sees this! I’m a third year PhD student of Anthropology with a focus on disasters (particularly flooding) and you need anthropologists! So hire meee ❤️.
Tomorrow is Monday.
Fast if you are able to, if not earn reward by reminding others.
Remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers (Q51:55).
Baarakallahu Feekum.
tomorrow is Yawmul ‘Arafah! fast, if you are able, and encourage others to do the same.
and as you observe your fast, try to avoid all forms of transgression whether major or minor.
you shouldn't be sinning on the day Allāh expiates sins.
may Allāh count us among the forgiven.
Two days ago, I saw these students in the city of Iwo (Osun state) inside the scorching sun seeking financial aid for someone.
I had to call them to ask what exactly the problem is. I was emotional and down when I got to know they are moving around inside the hot sun because one of their teachers has been in a sick bed battling END STAGE OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD).
I promised to help them escalate this on the X app and hope @Wizarab10@the_beardedsina, and @AAdeleke_01 can be of help.
The name of the teacher is KAMORUDEEN KALENI ABIODUN.
Presently admitted at St Nicholas Hospital in Lagos Mainland
The amount needed for surgery is #40,000,000
The amount raised or at hand so far is #4,000,000
The shortfall is #36,000,000
Dear Mutuals, no amount is small. You also can donate to this 🙏 and drop whatever you have in the account details below.
Bank Name: First Bank
Account Number: 2018526871
Account name: KAMORUDEEN KALENI ABIODUN
As well, help tag @Wizarab10@the_beardedsina, and @AAdeleke_01 as I am hopeful they can take this up and be of help.
I told the younger sister of the sick brother @FatimahOpep3 who is on red head cover in frame 2 to open an X account so that she can as well be carried along in the whole issue here on X App.
I pray unto Allah to make this achievable, heal him and every other person on the sickbed.

I tell my students, 'When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.
