- Street thug, Inside Lagos, Daylight Rbbrs Disguised as Beggars 😳
A disturbing look at the growing problem of touts and street extortion in Lagos. Interview by kizitolid
The funny thing about Malami’s corruption case was that it was done in the open. People in Kano, Abuja, and Kebbi knew he’s building these structures (Hotels, schools,mansions,etc.) even during their first tenure.
Everyone knew it’s CORRUPTION! Including almajiri on the street.
When you choose to live in a country like the United States, you are under an implicit contract to obey its laws. Islam is big on honouring such agreements. You cannot benefit from the system of a country and then violate the laws of a land you willingly reside in, so long as those laws do not force you to commit a sin.
The US not recognising polygamy does not force anyone to commit zina. It simply restricts how many marriages you can have under its system. There is the option to remain monogamous there or relocate to a place where polygamy is legally recognised. Talking about adultery and homosexuality yada yada is apples and oranges. Lmaoo how does that equivalence make any sense to you? Those are actions Islam directly prohibits but monogamy is not haram, is it now?
Anytime the cohabitation conversation comes up, I just laugh 😂
If you ask 99% of people who preach cohabitation why they support it, they’ll tell you it’s so they can “get to know” the person they want to marry. That reason? fair enough.
But think about it — if both people already know that the purpose of living together before marriage is to be “fully seen,” what stops them from acting a certain way just to pass that phase? People can pretend for as long as the cohabitation lasts, and I think this is also what all/most of us will agree on.
In my own opinion, cohabitation can never truly reveal someone who is intentional about hiding who they really are.
Even couples who have been married for decades still discover new things about each other. So why do we assume that a few months or even years of cohabitation will completely expose a person?
That belief is a bit unrealistic.
And honestly, I find it even more ironic when some women strongly advocate for cohabitation, because many times they end up at the receiving end of its downsides.
If you want to test it, as a lady, tell a man you’re talking to that you used to cohabit with an ex, and watch how his interest changes.
An average man may accept that you’ve had past relationships and accumulated body counts, in fact most men do not believe a non virgin can have one body count. But tell him that you cohabitated with all your ex, and watch how he will start to view things differently.
That’s just the reality of how a lot of men think.
Now look at the irony: many of the same men who preach cohabitation, go to their pages, they are also the ones who shame women for having multiple body counts, write horrible things about non virgins, and want to marry virgins.
Also, most of them if they can, they would never allow their own sisters or daughters to live with a man outside marriage.
The contradiction is obvious.
To be clear, people who don’t cohabit still engage in premarital sex and other premarital affairs — so that’s not even the main point here.
The real point is this:
Cohabitation does not guarantee that you will truly know someone.
If someone is determined to hide who they are, they will hide it — whether you live with them or not.
So the idea that cohabitation is some foolproof method for “knowing someone” is simply not as reliable as people make it seem.
There's a surah in the Quran that was revealed for one specific feeling.
Not grief. Not fear.
Not loneliness.
It's the feeling you get when you're doing everything right, and nothing is working. And Allah's response will break you.

Sometimes I regret choosing Nursing as my first choice course to study in school. Mumu me saw veterinary medicine and didn't go for it. It would have been easier for me to deal with animals like you

Condemning the behavior? NO

Wait before we condemn her we need more context.
No, not the Bwala type of context.
If his wife doesn't work and is a full time house wife and she saved up from the money he gives her monthly to buy this for him, it is not bad.
If she is a high earner like him then it's bad.
Context matters.
