Stella Okoli, the founder of Emzor Pharmaceuticals, how Obasanjo always engaged all the manufacturers in Nigeria.
During Obasanjo 's regime, all manufacturers in Nigeria used to have a meeting with the president in Aso Rock every Saturday.
The meeting was to discuss about manufacturers' challenges and how to drive the economy forward.
It was during that time he assisted Otedola,Tony Elumelu and Dangote.
That meeting quietly fizzled out and none is being held today.
I have a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in Arabic linguistics. I’ve been living in the Arab world for 14 years.
And honestly? The more I learn about this language, the less I feel like I know.
Because Arabic doesn’t just name things. It connects them in ways that make you stop and rethink everything.
Let me give you a few examples.
The Russians are wondering why millions of their Grandfather's and Great Grandfathers gave their lives to save Europe from the Nazis
They recall the great Russian Marshall Zhukov's prophetic words-
"We have liberated Europe from Fascism, but they will never forgive us for it"
Empire is not embarrassed by slaughter.
It is embarrassed by clarity.
That is why Western media works so hard on the adjectives.
A child is never just murdered.
He is "caught in crossfire."
A city is never just destroyed.
It is "struck in a response."
A people are never just starved.
They are "trapped in a crisis."
Language is where the laundering begins.
It is said that the young man in the photo, named Ahmed Abdullah, was a pharmacist working in a pharmacy. Every month, an elderly poor woman would come to him for her medicine. She would then approach him at the cash register... Whenever she saw him, her face would light up with joy. For years, she had been buying this medicine, and this young man would only take 200 Egyptian pounds from her. She would pay and leave.
Then, the young man passed away... The elderly woman returned to the same pharmacy, requested her medicine, and went to the cash register to pay 200 pounds. But he was not there.
Before she could ask about him, the new cashier said: “What is this, madam?”She replied: “This is 200 pounds for the medicine.”He responded: “But this medicine costs 2,000 pounds, madam.”
Surprised, she said: “But for more than three years, I have been getting it for 200 pounds from the young man who was here... Where is he?”
The new cashier replied: “He passed away, madam. May God have mercy on him.” Upon reviewing the records, it was discovered that this young man had been covering 1,800 pounds of the cost every month from his own salary at the pharmacy.
When the pharmacy owner learned of this, he decided to continue selling the medicine to the woman at the same price as an ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah) for the sake of the young man’s pure soul. The least we can do to honor this exemplary young man is to let his photo travel the world without stopping, so that everyone may pray for mercy upon him. He deserves recognition.
The New World Order Controllers:
1. The United States of America
2. The Russian Federation
3. The People’s Republic of China
4. The Islamic Republic of Iran
The Islamic Republic of Iran is the only country in the history of the world that confronted the joint military operation by the U.S. and Israel against it and still succeeded.
African leaders need to recalibrate their foreign policy objectives.

Dear Parents,
I want to share one parenting secret with you. The one you won’t find in your regular blogs. And trust me, regardless of your faith, you will find this tip beneficial.
I want to explain why some kids become completely stubborn the more you punish them. I am doing this because I got some messages yesterday from people who have kids in the diaspora and how their kids have become stone-hearted to their parents’ warnings. It is indeed painful.
Remember that I mentioned the monumental book of Imam Al-Ghazali, Ihya’ Ulum al-Din. We have more things to learn from it.
In this book, he talked about a fragile part of a child's mind called the “Veil of Shame.” Note: Every child has this because they are born upon Fitrah (purity of the soul).
When a child does something bad for the first time, they usually try to hide it. They are afraid of being caught because they still value their dignity in your eyes.
The scholars explained that if a parent exposes the child, screams, yells at them, and punishes every mistake, you are tearing down their veil of shame.
Once a child realizes you already see them as a bad person, the humiliation has happened. They stop caring. You have destroyed their internal brakes. When they have no dignity left to protect, they will start doing those bad things openly and boldly.
How do you notice this in your child?
You can tell this is happening in your child when they stop trying to hide their mistakes and start becoming brazen or "strong-headed" when caught. This is a sign that the veil is thinning.
To fix this, you need to use a concept called Taghaful. It translates to intentional ignorance or pretending you did not see a fault.
Our Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us this. He did this with a young companion called Usama bin Zaid. But I see that our parents, due to their high expectations, are often too impatient to look away.
If you catch your child doing a hidden wrong, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pretend you did not see it. Do not confront them and strip them of their respect.
Instead, bring up the topic later in a general conversation. Tell a story about why that action is destructive, without looking at them or accusing them. Let their own conscience do the punishing. Let them repent and fix it in secret.
A parent who hunts down every small mistake will end up raising a child who has no shame left to lose.
Let me know if you want more of these scholarly parenting tips. I will be willing to share. My DM is full with different issues. I cannot answer everything, but I am sure with these tips, a lot of those issues will be solved by God’s grace.
Thank you for your attention.
Allah knows best.
Netanyahu's criminal trial resumes on Sun. A region-wide ceasefire, incl in Lebanon, would hasten his jailing.
If the U S. wishes to crater its economy by letting Netanyahu kill diplomacy, that would ultimately be its choice. We think that would be dumb but are prepared for it.
@Babak_Shaker_@AmirTaheri4@Tootferangian Lol! Is okay, u maybe saying the truth. Honorably know that majority of their people love them & that's the deal! Remain Blessed!
