I’m so proud of you Azeez.
My brother, who went to Jordan to be with Palestinian refugees this summer. Who spends time with Palestinian children with missing limbs in Houston. Who is using every week of his pro bowl NFL career to honor a Palestinian child despite the fines.
This week it’s Wafaa Akila who was only 8 years old when she was murdered in an Israeli airstrike.
In the sports and entertainment arenas run by many of the same types of people who run government, choose to be like @A_train2_@KyrieIrving and @macklemore.
@omarsuleiman using a pro bowl platform to say wafaa akila’s name, knowing the league will fine him, is exactly the kind of moral clarity we need from people with institutional access

@instablog9ja 💯 the gd Dr’s remarks reflect the concerns of many patriotic Nigerians: widespread corruption among the ruling class, the public display of unexplained wealth, and the granting of national honours to people of questionable integrity are a few of the rsns damaging our values and
@instablog9ja The ruling class in Nigeria is a disgrace to mankind. Hope the guy called David Umahi can travel the East-West Road before celebrating his elephant project called Los-Cal, Los-Sokoto fantasies.
People spent 2-3 days on that tragic road, with no help from their government😔😭🇳🇬
If you line up all the wealthy people in Nigeria, you can not trace most of them to any productive activity — Oby Ezekwesili
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has criticised Nigeria’s political and economic system, arguing that questionable wealth is often rewarded while productive citizens struggle.
Speaking on News Central’s “60 Minutes with Mr. Kay,” Ezekwesili said Nigeria’s leadership recruitment process has been structured in ways that can make a lack of character an advantage.
She said, “the processes for leadership recruitment have in many ways been designed in the image of those who have held the levers of power.”
According to her, when people in power create barriers against individuals with character, “the political culture that then becomes one where a lack of character is actually an advantage.”
“When you have that kind of a distortion where bad behavior is what your political system rewards, there will be a market for bad behavior. And then good behavior is punished,” she said.
She also criticised the perception that government is a major pathway to becoming wealthy.
“Look at just bring line up all the people who are wealthy in our country today and try to trace their wealth to any productive activity. None. Maybe a few,” she said.
The former minister said many people become wealthy after entering government despite questions surrounding their wealth, while society often celebrates rather than scrutinises them.
“This is what grounded the Nigerian society,” she said, adding that the problem is “almost the same thing” across Africa.
Ezekwesili urged Africans to confront poor governance rather than remain apathetic and hope for sudden change.
“Nothing happens that is not made to happen,” she said. “To get good governance is a design. You have to design for you to then end up with good governance. If you don’t design for good governance, you will have the kind of governance that we have.”
Maitham Ali was upstairs at his family’s home in West London when he heard a commotion downstairs.
He rushed down to find his mum and grandmother panicking.
His two-day-old brother, Mohammad-Jawad, had vomited and was choking. He was turning blue and struggling to breathe.
But Maitham stayed calm.
He had received first aid training as a St John Ambulance Cadet and immediately told his mum what to do.
He instructed her to place the baby face-down across her arm, support his head, and give him back blows.
After just two back blows, Mohammad-Jawad started crying.
His airway had opened.
His mum, Raghad, said the baby’s colour returned, and he started breathing again.
“He was telling me what to do, making sure I stayed calm and making sure we got the ambulance called.” she said.
Maitham is only 13. But when his family was panicking, his first aid training meant he knew exactly what to do.
May Allah bless Maitham and his family.
