What exactly are the roles and responsibilities of the wives/women in marriages/family. Because since I joined this app, I have learnt that:
1. women/wives are not supposed to cook for men/husbands and clean the house or do dishes, get a maid.
2. they are not supposed to take care of children, get a nanny.
3. they are not supposed to support the men financially because it is the man's responsibility to, so men must work harder.
4. they are not supposed to go through the pains of pregnancy and child birth, because men dont go through the same pain, if you want a child, pay for surrogacy.
5. they are not supposed to wash, get a washing machine or give clothes to dry cleaners.

Abdulfatah Ahmed should not be mentioned in the same sentence with development plan, let alone "good development plan".
He made it easy for Kwarans to embrace O to gแบน with everything in them.
Abdulfatai Ahmed had a good development plan for the various districts across Kwara, arguably more than GAA. The only major thing I think Abdulfatai Ahmed got wrong was his attempt to replicate the LCDA model of Lagos in Kwara. That model can't work effectively in
Release - Cement FCCPC Establishes Possible Price Manipulation
Tuesday, August 18, 2026: Findings from an industry-wide investigation conducted by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) suggest possible manipulation of prices of cement in the Nigerian market.
This is the preliminary summation of the 40-page field reports collated following a three-month cross-border study by the Anticompetitive Practices Department (ACP) of the Commission, undertaken in response to widespread public complaints over the high cost of cement, a common staple in the country's construction industry.
Concerns were raised over the comparatively high retail price of cement in Nigeria compared with other markets, despite the country's substantial limestone deposits, significant domestic production capacity and reported surplus installed capacity relative to domestic consumption.
Significantly, all the major cement manufacturers in the country cooperated with the Commission by making their records available except one of them.
Publicly available estimates indicate that three major undertakings account for more than 90 percent of installed production capacity in the country.
The ACP investigations extended to markets in Sub-Saharan Africa like Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa as well as Egypt, Morocco and Algeria.
Metrics adopted included the availability of limestone, the basic raw material for cement production, as well as other variables such as population, production capacity and consumption.
In Kenya, for instance, the 58.6 million population (76% lower than Nigeriaโs) has domestic cement demand of approximately 9.3m MTPA (metric tonne per annum) in 2025. Retail price in Nairobi is $5.40 (N7,344). Kenya is endowed with limestone.
In Tanzania, with population of 66.3m (72% lower than Nigeriaโs) and the domestic cement demand is 9.3m MTPA (2025), a bag of cement sells for $4.80 (N6,528).
In Togo, a bag sells for $6.75 (N9,180). Significantly, Togo does not have limestone deposit.
Comparatively, in Nigeria, market intelligence reviewed by the Commission shows that the retail price of a 50kg bag of cement rose significantly during the first half of 2026.
A bag reportedly selling for between N9,300 and N9,700 in January was selling for between N10,500 and N13,000 by mid-year. By July, prices of between N13,000 and N15,000 were reported in some parts of the country.
The Commission's survey indicates that Nigeria has installed cement production capacity of more than 60 to 65 million metric tonnes annually, while estimated domestic consumption is approximately 25 to 30 million metric tonnes. Nigeria is also a net exporter of cement to neighbouring markets.
Of particular concern to the Commission is that this level of production capacity has not resulted in the downward pressure on domestic prices that might ordinarily be expected in a competitive market with substantial excess capacity.
Information provided by industry participants has identified energy costs, depreciation of the Naira and its effect on imported machinery and spare parts, as well as transportation and logistics costs, among the factors contributing to cement prices. The Commission is testing these explanations against verified information on costs, production, pricing and market conditions.
However, the weight of preliminary findings provides sufficient grounds for the investigation to continue.
Next is to determine whether prevailing cement prices can be explained by legitimate costs and market conditions, or whether there is evidence of coordinated conduct, abuse of market power, restriction of domestic supply, anti-competitive distribution practices or other conduct contrary to the provisions of the FCCPA.
Accordingly, the FCCPC has issued Notices of Commencement of Investigation and Summons to Produce to the key players in the sector...

May Allah cure Alhaji Taiwo Hassan (Ogogo) for indeed He is Al-Qadeer.
He is down with end stage cancer and only thing left that can be done medically (Orthodox) is palliative care but the family aren't willing to resign to such fate. They still want him to get treated, they want assurance that he can be cured.
I know that it is a dire situation for the family but this needs to be said, the family should tread carefully. Whatever means they are resorting to, let it be shariah-compliant. Allah has not placed cure of illnesses in what He forbids.
The family shouldn't let desperation lure them into taking him to the kuffฤr /mushrikoon for cure in what could be the 11th hour of his life.
If they are trying alternative medicine, while hoping that he is cured, let it be done in accordance with the shariah. Whether he lives or Allah decrees that it is the end, it's far more important that he's a Muslim.
We have known Ogogo as a Muslim who does not shy away from his Muslim identity, right from our childhood.

The two bishops are reportedly residents of the Rantya area of Jos South Local Government Area.
The command said that upon receiving the intelligence, police operatives led by the Commander of the Vigilance and Criminal Response Unit (VCRU) immediately commenced an operation that resulted in the arrest of the three suspects.
โOn interrogation, suspects confessed to the crime,โ the police said.

Police authorities said investigation was ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the alleged conspiracy and to identify and apprehend other members of the suspected criminal network.
