While I lived in the North I noticed something.
An average Muslim Northerner who has a degree cannot be jobless.
Even if he pronounces "p" as "f" and finished with a 3rd class or he studied Islamic studies.
Kano residents have raised concerns over the alleged activities of officers attached to Ja'oji @PoliceNG Division, accusing them of extorting Keke Napep riders along Zoo Road, around Total Junction and Kokiya Filling Station.
According to the complaints, the officers allegedly operate in plain clothes and arrest tricycle riders who stop briefly to pick up or drop off passengers, claiming the area is not designated for parking.
Residents, however, question the legality of the enforcement, noting that there are reportedly no visible "No Parking" signs or other traffic markings indicating that stopping is prohibited at the location.
They are calling on the relevant authorities to investigate the allegations and ensure that traffic enforcement is carried out lawfully and transparently.
🎙️اخر مؤتمر صحفي للأسطورة كريستيانو مع المنتخب البرتغالي كان قبل عام من الأن .. المؤتمر كان قبل نهائي دوري الأمم ضد اسبانيا وبعدها فزنا بالبطولة
لقطة مترجمة من المؤتمر من قبلي :
Dear @DanBurmawy,
I made a promise I won’t go hard on anybody today because apparently today is our Eid Celebration. But, Burmawi won’t let me.
Your entire argument is a classic display of profound historical and textual ignorance, built on a desperate attempt to sound deep while completely misrepresenting both the Bible and the historical record.
You call the Islamic position theological vandalism. Really? Funnily, you do not even realize you are defending a text that biblical scholars themselves have flagged for centuries as a compromised, heavily edited document.
First of all, let me start with the unforgivable textual contradiction in Genesis 22:2, where your text says, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac."
Burmawi, anyone with a basic sense of logic can see the glitch here. Isaac was never, at any point in his life, Abraham’s only son. Ishmael was born fourteen years before Isaac. The only time Abraham ever had an "only son" was before Isaac was even born, when Ishmael was his single child.
This is not even an Islamic argument; this is standard, objective biblical scholarship.
Top Western theologians and textual critics, such as Dr. T.C. Mitchell (former Keeper of Western Asiatic Antiquities at the British Museum) and the renowned biblical scholar Dr. Robert Alter, have written extensively on how the Hebrew word Yachid (only/unique) in this text is completely irreconcilable with Isaac's historical position.
The text explicitly demands a firstborn who was an only child for a period, which historically fits nobody but Ishmael.
What you are reading is a clear case of later scribal interpolation, where later writers crossed out Ishmael's name and inserted Isaac to serve a nationalistic, tribal narrative.
Unfortunately for them, they completely forgot to fix the "only son" blunder they left in the verse. lol 😂
Again, your attempt to reduce Ishmael to a mistake of "human performance" completely exposes your ignorance of the Old Testament itself.
In Genesis 16:11, it is the Angel of the Lord who commands Hagar to name the child Ishmael, which means "God hears." God does not name mistakes.
Also, in Genesis 17:20, God explicitly says, "And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation."
Dr. John Van Seters, a biblical historian noted here that the promises of greatness and covenant blessings given to Ishmael in the text run completely parallel to those given to Isaac. Therefore, calling Ishmael a product of mere human scheming is a direct contradiction of the very scripture you are trying to preach from.
Let me also say that your reliance on Paul’s allegory in Galatians 4 to frame Ishmael as "the law and bondage" is a big chronological leap.
Paul was simply writing an ideological polemic in the first century to convince a Roman-era audience to abandon Jewish legalism.
So, using a first-century rhetorical allegory to rewrite a historical event that happened two thousand years before is not scholarship; it is a desperate theological spin, and that shows how ignorant and mischievous you are.
Burmawi, note this: The Islamic narrative did not hijack or distort anything. Okay? It simply restored the story to its logical, geographical, and historical truth.
Abraham was asked to sacrifice his firstborn, the child of his lonely old age, in absolute submission. You exchanged the historical firstborn for a younger son to fit your tribal exclusivity. Then you wrapped it in flowery language about “grace” versus “works” to hide the factual error.
Next time you want to accuse an entire civilization of theological vandalism, try reading your own book with the lights on first.
I hope this clears your mischief.
Allah knows best.
You have to be more intentional, discretionary, and cautionary how you move on this app.
I'm observing some patterns across board i.e. mutuals and non-mutuals, and it's highlighting how social media is just a virtual presentation of who we are in real life.
People keep complaining about the lack of support and interaction by Arewa Twitter, and attribute it to hassada.
Hassada is some part of it, but a minute part of it.
A lot of people have massive egos, are secretly in competition with you, and most don't want "wulakanci".
I think the most fascinating thing in my entire Arewa Twitter experience, is people that originally follow you because they like your content, expect a follow back where if you don't, they unfollow because they can't be your "fan".
Our egos are massive that we have no humility to willingly follow what we actually like.
We discard the message because the messenger refuse to show us we are "equals".
As a society, we're massively lacking in humility. And I mean humility in the real sense of the word not performative.
How can you even begin to learn the lessons necessary about your life, to improve and change it, if you can't be humble enough to go after what you want irrespective of immediate gratification and validation of worth?
I don't follow back because what you post has to be compatible with my mental diet.
So if you choose to follow me, I don't owe you same if what you post doesn't give me the value I seek.
You can agree or disagree with this position of mine, but some of us are genuinely on here for what we can learn, impact on others, and build real connections.
It isn't about follower count or who you're mutuals with.
But people call you arrogant for being selective about what information you want to be consistently exposed to.
It's truly been an enlightening journey to this point, and I do believe it's time to up my guard in my interactions.
I had a recent experience, granted it's a cumulation that the experience made reach a peak, that has me really reevaluating how I move on here.
You all need to get it in your heads, we aren't one on this app. We're as divided here as we are in reality.
The faster we all adjust, the better for your peace of mind.
Social media is full of slogans that sound inspiring but actually cause hidden harm. Phrases like "you can do anything if you work hard enough," "manifest your reality," and "hustle harder" sound motivating on the surface.

@RazakMakinde I beg to differ. You shouldn't say "no single youth" because you mean 100% of all youth citizens.
Also, I personally have never been harassed or brutalized by the police, not on the way to work, not on the way back home.
“For the first time in the history of Nigerian universities, someone graduated from ADUSTECH Wudil with a ‘GO’ class degree 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations, legend! Against all odds, he made it through.”
- Elections hold in January
- Almost half the year is gone and no heavy opposition.
But our problem is which region ruled for longer and whose turn it is to rule, I don't see mindset of development here, honestly, just entitlement.
The Arabic word for "jinn" and the Arabic word for "baby" come from the same root.
So does "paradise." So does "madness." So does "shield." So does "heart."
Three letters. ج - ن - ن
One meaning: hidden.
Let me show you how deep this goes.
