Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw has become widely discussed in America because of a statement he made during a press conference.
Journalist:
“Today, there were very strong winds in the state of New Jersey, and security officials advised members of the delegation not to go outside for your own safety. Why did you go out to perform the prayer?”
Pape Thiaw:
“Is there anything more important than prayer? I do not think that is your concern. You fear the wind, while we fear Allah, the One who created the wind. We came here for a game of entertainment, yet we have forgotten that we were created to worship Allah.
Even if the @FIFAWorldCup World Cup final were being played today and we were one of the finalist teams, we would still go out to perform the Jummah prayer, even if it meant losing the championship.
Do not lecture us about the rituals and obligations of our religion.”
@the_beardedsina@realhighthee Is it still hard? (It is)
If it is still hard (raise your hand up)
There is ale (ale is the agbo used to make d**k stronger)
There is afato also (afato is another agbo used before sex)
Imagine you are a Muslim and your child asks you: Why do we pray Dhuhr and Asr silently while we recite aloud in Maghrib and Isha?
(And you don't know the answer)
A lot is happening 💔💔💔
I stopped by to pray maghrib at a mosque at 49, Bola Street Ebute Metta and the imam announced that one of the members has a sick wife battling cancer and they need monetary support. I took a picture of the account number written on the board. Please whoever can should donate and share.

Do not rush out of the slippery bathroom to pick your calls. Cultivate the habit of calling back when you are done instead. Airtime is far cheaper than brain surgery.
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.
Young people, before you build wealth, you have to first build your comfort. Personal comfort is the fertilizer that helps you grow through clear thinking and peace of mind.
You are buying stocks at the risk of going hungry. Why not eat first? Satisfy your moderate/reasonable cravings, reward yourself. This is how you find the strength to keep pushing.
You are saving, yet the room that you take your rests in everyday is in poor condition. No proper bed. You refused to get an Air Conditioner. Your bedsheet has not been changed in years, your pillow is so worn out and dirty that it could wake the dead if placed under their head. Your underwears (boxers and bra) have not been changed for years. You don’t invest in smelling nice. Why can’t you take care of yourself first?
You are saving when you can afford to rent apartment in a better, more peaceful and serene environment. Yet you remain in an environment filled with unbearable stench and with high security risk. Overtime, that stench becomes your natural ooze, and the insecurity would consume a chunk of that money you saved when they steal your generator or rob you. Your standards will drop without you realizing it. You would have grown so accustomed to that slum you’ve decided to root yourself in that the low standard of living and discomfort becomes normal to you. Eventually, you start to reflect that environment in your behavior and lifestyle; your behavior becomes unrefined and local. The stench becomes ‘clean air’ to you. You lose your sense of smell, that you can’t tell when your armpit is smelling anymore.
You are saving, you’ve saved enough to buy a car to push around, yet you prefer to mount Okada and public transport. Depriving yourself of the barest minimum utility that could greatly improve your efficiency, time saving and quality of life, because you are saving. One day, you will fall on the okada or you’ll have a fight with a conductor and they’ll remove your teeth.
You are saving, but you won’t provide better nutrition for your children even when you can afford it. You forget that proper feeding today prevents bigger health expenses tomorrow. What you avoid now, you may end up paying for later in treatments.
Saving is important, but it is not wisdom to ignore immediate needs. There is no virtue in suffering when you have the means to live better.
In all things, wisdom is key. Do not deprive yourself, and do not live beyond your capacity. Find balance.
I want to put this out here because some single persons who are about to make the ultimate decision of marriage might need it:
There’s a big difference between being financially comfortable as a single person and being comfortable when you’re married.
As a single person, it’s easy to feel like you’ve figured things out because your expenses are controlled and predictable. But the moment you get married, your baseline for everything changes. What you see as financial comfort now would require much more management to be enough. Because you have to feed, shelter and cater for 2 adults.
If you really want to understand or get ahead of it, take your current recurring expenses and multiply it by 4. That’s the kind of financial capacity it takes to maintain the same level of comfort you currently enjoy as a single person.
There is more. Being married without children is one thing. When you introduce children into the equation, the demands increases. At that point, multiply your single person expenses by eight for two kids. That’s when the real weight of responsibility starts to show.
Those ‘luxuries’ and cravings you will still be able to afford them, but you would not buy them. Because bills will come at you thick and fast, never ending. Eventually, you recondition to anticipate unforeseen expenses and become more conservative with personal spending.
My point is: Prepare. Have a trajectory and make sure you marry a partner who would work to support your home. That way, your income increases proportionally with your expenses.
Many single people think they’ve cracked the code on financial comfort and they jump into marriage without well detailed plans. They forget to factor that as single people, they’re operating in a controlled environment with limited variables. You can only understand it when you step into that phase of life.
Old age is not always the blessing people make it seem.
We celebrate long life, but we rarely talk about what it actually looks like.
For the overwhelming majority of humans, getting older is not peace. It is pressure and a curse.
If you are poor and you live to 60, life does not slow down and it will not spare you the cruelty that awaits. It gets worse from that point. You struggle to feed yourself. Your strength fades. Opportunities shrink. You are in the same struggle for survival, now with a weaker body.
You are doomed if you could not give your children the best start (education or finance), their struggles may return to you. Your old age that should have been your rest becomes another phase of unbearable responsibility. You run around for your grandchildren’s needs because your children themselves are struggling. You fail and fail. Poverty becomes generational, so is your suffering.
Now let’s look at the wealthy.
Surely they can buy comfort, which they would use to delay suffering of old age. But they cannot escape it. No one can. The older they get, the more they will suffer.
At some point, the body begins to fail. Memory slips. Independence fades. You begin to lose pieces of yourself. Your money would no longer buy the quality of comfort.
In some parts of the world, you may even leave your home for a care facility. In other parts like Nigeria, you stay alone, waiting for opportunities to see your children again. Surrounded by people, yet somehow alone.
And in the end, whether rich or poor, strong or weak, the road narrows the same way; lonely and quiet until you fade away.
Not with applause. Not with celebration.
But with quiet decline.
So what exactly are we chasing?
A long life, or a meaningful one?

1. If you do not observe your five daily solat at all, you are no longer a Muslim.
2. After the Qalimatus sha’adah, there is no pillars of Islam that is superior to the five daily solat.
3. The first thing you’ll be questioned about after your death is your five daily solat.
4. No matter how terrible your sickness is, as long as you’re conscious, five daily solat is a must for you, even if you’ll observe it lying down.
5. The Prophet ﷺ said that missing ‘Asr prayer is like losing one’s family and wealth (reported in Sahih al-Bukhari).
6. The day Umar Bin Kataab was killed, he was stabbed while observing the first rakah of solatu subhi, he was unconscious for more than 9 hours, when he later gained is consciousness, the first question he asked was “Did people complete their solat after I was stabbed” and from extreme bleeding and pain, he also observed the remaining one rakah he missed.
What’s the essence of all of these?
Take care of your five daily solat, it’s the main reason you’re a Muslim.
Stay connected to the Almighty. Cut off all wrong connections. Those who try to lead you astray. Those who waste your time. Let them all go. Life’s too short to be engaging in futile activities.
