Between 2016-2019, I applied for 4 PTDF scholarships—Germany, UK, France. On 2 occasions,I did interview around 8pm. While there were those that got on merit, some who weren’t even eligible—and didn’t participate in the process—got awarded via NASS members and politicians #Thread
SubhanAllah… today I learned something that shifted my entire perspective.
In class, the ustadh asked:
“Why do people die?”
Most of us answered:
“Because their time (ajal) has come.”
He said: No
You disrupted traffic on your way to the airport, took a whole team to Plateau, only to gather the people like sardines at the airport and address them. So what was the point of all that trouble if you weren’t going to enter the city to sympathize with the people?
The APC is openly and publicly reducing the lives of people to bags of rice in exchange for their future.
This is really sad and painful to watch.
No jobs, just rice.
No power, just rice.
No healthcare, just rice.
No development, just rice.
MADNESS!!!
“Roads Are Bad; Rice. No Electricity; Rice. You Want To Campaign; Rice. Nigerians Are Getting Killed; Rice. No Job; Rice.” ~ Edo State Youths Complain about the Incompetence of APC and the Tinubu Government.
Little by little, everybody is waking up.
Statement Regarding Last Night’s Arrest and Continued Advocacy
Thank you to everyone who called yesterday and to those who showed concern regarding my incident with the "Fushin Kada" operators.
The arrest was due to our planned solidarity walk for Malam. A group of "concerned citizens" lodged a complaint, claiming that we were trying to cause chaos that could lead to a breach of law and order, loss of life, or injuries. I clearly stated to them that our plan was a solidarity walk for Malam, and not a protest or a street fight.
They later released me due to the intervention of some respected stakeholders in Kaduna North.
We will not stop this opposition, no matter the pressure and intimidation. Let’s continue to advocate for the release of Malam and exercise our right to freedom of expression by criticizing the government's failures
#ElrufaiBoys
Don’t play politics with the El-Rufai mourning phase.
Many of these individuals were absent when Mallam was arrested, either for him or his family. They never voiced their support for Mallam or worked underground for his release. If this were not a political season, most of them would not be present.
Some are there for the cameras, and their presence will fade after the dust settles.
The loss of a parent and loved one is immeasurable.
Allow the family to mourn in peace.
Allah jikan Hajiya da wadanda suka rigamu gidan gaskiya.
BREAKING: Niger Governor ordered arrest of a resident who shouted at him saying “no water, no light” after his Friday visit to the mosque.
This is utter madness. Utter disgraceful madness!
Speaking about the deep contradictions in human nature, Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada said:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about the relatives still in their lives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have a partner often fail to appreciate them. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the full complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.
The key to happiness is gratitude—to truly see and value what we already have, and to understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what we take for granted.”
Wallahi we are not ready, what kind of system looks at a child of 5 years old, a toddler, a baby who should still be clutching his mother’s wrapper and says, "You are on your own"?
You see them everywhere in the streets of Arewa. Little boys with dirty faces and rusty bowls. They are infants sent out to battle the world with nothing but the shirt on their backs. At an age where their biggest worry should be scraped knees and whose turn it is to play with the toy, their biggest worry is, "If I don't find food today, I will sleep on an empty stomach again.
We have created a culture where it is acceptable to drop a seven year old off at a mallam’s house and wash your hands of him. You don’t feed him. You don’t bathe him. You don’t hold him when he cries. You just leave him. You leave him to the streets. You expect him to beg from strangers to fill his stomach. You expect a child to understand humility when all he feels is hunger.
And people wonder what happens next.
You take a boy who has never known a soft hand. You take a boy who has never been tucked into bed. You take a boy who has had to fight for every crumb of food since he was old enough to walk. You raise him without mercy, so why would he have any mercy to give?
You watch him grow. He hits ten, twelve, fifteen. He is still on the street, but he isn't a cute little boy anymore. He is a young man with nothing. No skills. No family. No future. Just a lifetime of scratching and clawing to survive.
If you are that boy, and your stomach is eating itself from the inside, and there is no food in sight, what do you do? Do you just lie down and die? No. You survive. And if that means stealing a loaf of bread from a market stall, you steal it. If that means joining a gang because the gang gives you food and a place to sleep, you join the gang.
And then what happens when the hunger is gone, but the anger remains? What happens when someone comes along and hands that angry, abandoned boy a gun? What happens when they tell him, "The people who abandoned you, the society that ignored you they are the enemy"?
You get a terrorist. You get a thug. You get a boy who has been dead inside since he was seven, and now he has nothing left to lose.
And some of you have a words to justify that? Nice joke.
