Alhamdulillah, I had the simplest Nikah yesterday with zero pre-wedding pictures, not because I didn’t marry a beautiful wife, in fact, my woman is Arab. Zero music, dance, or parties of any kind, not because I don’t like parties or I don’t have the money or I’m a saint, but because it’s not my religion. And I married because of religion so I must act according to the religion for the marriage to see religion in it.
Lastly, the Prophet PBUH said: “The most blessed Nikah (marriage) is the one with the least expenses.“
This is me.🙏❤️
This is one of the most honest trading posts I've read in a long time
Everyone celebrates the wins, the payouts, the cars, and the lifestyle. Very few have the courage to publicly admit a mistake that cost them everything.
Revenge trading doesn't care how skilled you are. One emotional decision can erase years of discipline and hard work.
Money can always be made again, but the lessons earned through pain stay forever. If someone can build from $0 to six figures once, they can do it again with stronger discipline and better risk management.
May Allah replace every loss with something even better, grant you sabr, and bless your comeback. InshaAllah, this setback will become the foundation of your greatest success.
Every trader should read this. Protect your psychology more than your capital.
Lagos people did not rape you? Thank God. One Olori here said her friend who uses Hijab was raped 😅
Back to your question. The reason you are not getting that royalty treatment in Lagos comes down to the completely different psychological landscapes of the two cities.
For instance, Abuja runs on a slower pace, heavy political structures, and a dominant Northern cultural footprint. In such an environment, a full hijab or khimar carries immediate social weight. It signals high values, modesty, and often a certain class or background. People notice it because it aligns with the local social currency.
On the other hand, Lagos is a hyper-capitalist melting pot where survival and the daily hustle override everything else. Lagosians are deeply desensitized because they see every version of humanity on a daily basis. When people are navigating insane traffic, dealing with the economy, and rushing to open their shops, outward appearances fade into the background.
It is not that Lagosians disrespect the outfit. They just genuinely mind their business to a fault. Unless what you are wearing is blocking their path or affecting their money, you are just another face in the crowd. At least they did not rape you. Thank God 😅
