During my NYSC in Kano, I met a Hausa girl named Miriam in the camp, We started dating, and she spent heavily on me,
She had her own car, lived in the best neighborhood, bought me the latest iPhone, clothes, and furnished my apartment, Never met a lady like her before, Unknown to me that she had been betrothed to an Alhaji since childhood, & She didn’t want to marry him and desired freedom,
But the Alhaji kept on sending her money every month, According to her Guys usually run after hearing this, Which I wanted to do too when I heard it too, but I continued because she seemed truly in love with me,

Surah An-Nisa (4:7): "For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much — an obligatory share".
This is why Islam protect the deceased family....Surah An-Nisa (4:10): "Those who consume the property of orphans unjustly, only ingest fire into their bellies, and soon they will enter the Blaze".
Dey play.
It was after my father’s death I came to understand that an Igbo man wanting a boy child is not just for his property, it’s also for the protection of the interest of his girl child/children. I became an advocate of “make sure you don’t die intestate”
My father fought for the property of a widow in my community who had just one adopted girl child. The family took every property the man owned in his hometown, and wanted to take the one he owned in Ph. My father said not on his watch. That’s how he managed to secure that one for her.
Surah An-Nisa (4:2): "Give the orphans their property, and do not replace the good with the bad, and do not eat up their property [by mingling it] with your own property, for that is indeed a great sin".
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. From Allah SWT we came and to Him we shall all return. I would like to inform the public of the demise of my Grandmother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai who passed away a few hours ago. She is the biological mother of our father, Mallam Nasir @elrufai. We are grateful for the life she lived and may Allah SWT bless her gentle soul. May He bless the soul of the parents we have lost. On behalf of our family, we seek your prayers. Thank you.
If he didn't do it, someone else would.
The confessions of one that must never again encounter rescue and the utterings of a fellow not deserving of mercy.
I’ve been studying, practicing, and teaching journalism in the last 13 years (since 2013) and I have these to say:
1. Journalists are not trained to massage your ego as a governor; they’re trained to ask tough questions while being ethical and socially responsible - and these qualities were exhibited by the journalist.
2. In fact, IMPACT is one of the factors for measuring NEWSWORTHINESS in journalism. You called for a media chat to tell journalists what your administration has been up to. Therefore, it’s the job of the journalists to interrogate the newsworthiness (impact) of your economic, social, infrastructural, and institutional policies, and the governor is in the best position to answer.
3. Otti’s attack on the journalist was unwarranted.
4. Otti asking the journalist to assess the impact of the government’s policies through his own lived experience is absolutely wrong. Journalists are trained to be OBJECTIVE and BALANCED. Otti is pushing the journalist to be SUBJECTIVE, which is UNETHICAL.
5. I like that the journalist didn’t apologize. Instead, he boldly repeated the question. From his age, you can tell he’s been practicing journalism for a decade or two. You don’t apologize for doing your job.
6. I’m a huge fan of Otti’s works in Abia, but this one, he goofed big time.
7. Lastly, there’s been a social behavioral scholarly debate going on for a long time about whether we can directly and accurately measure intention or not. The winning side of the debate has successfully argued that intent is difficult if not impossible to measure because the variable is latent in nature, self-report can be unreliable, existence of intention-behavior gap (TPB), language doesn’t equal cognition, and measurement validity issues. This means that we might misjudge in an attempt to predict or interpret intention. So, the assumption by people that maybe the journalist was paid by opposition to ask that question might be wrong.
