Sins are dangerous at any time, but during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, which are among the most sacred days in Islam. A believer should be extra careful.
Sins during these blessed days can harden the heart, weaken your connection with Allah, deprive you of rewards and blessings, and cause you to miss opportunities for forgiveness, mercy, and multiplied good deeds.
The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are days to increase taubah (repentance) and good deeds, not spiritual carelessness. Even if one slips, return to Allah quickly.
Innalillahi wa inna ilaihir raji’un.
I received with deep sadness the news of the passing of Alhaji Abbas Jega (Abbasco). His death is a sad loss to the people of Jega, Kebbi State, and Nigeria at large.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the entire Jega community during this difficult time. May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, and give his loved ones the strength to bear this irreparable loss.

Yesterday, a Muslim man registered an eSIM for me. I got back home — called him and told him that the eSIM he registered for me is yet to start working. He said “I should come back this morning, he will pay my transport to and fro (5K) and get me another eSIM for free”.I jokingly laughed o’er it and told him he shouldn’t bother; I will pay the TP myself. Went back this morning, baba had already purchased another eSIM with his own money, and was waiting for my arrival. Immediately, he started the registration again and this time around he said I should wait until everything is working before leaving. He bought me breakfast. Then begged me to follow him home, so he’d show me his wife and daughter. He married early last year, and his wife gave birth late last year too. While I was about leaving, he gave me the to and fro TP he did promised me yesterday. I kept telling him “no no no no no no no”. But he insisted and squeezed the money in my hands. Automatically, this guy made zero profits from his own ends. He told me, “I am more than a customer to him. I am now a brother. It’s not a lost but a gain for him”. He still paid my TP to the motor park. And told me not to hesitate to call him if th eSIM doesn’t pick up again. Tho, the airtel eSIM picked there and then; but the MTN is yet to pick.
His name is Habib.
Muslims are nice people😭😭😭😭❤️

This lady approached me today just as I was about to enter my car. I actually remembered seeing her earlier in a shop where I stopped to pick up a few things. Before I could even open the car door, she waved and said, “Please hold on sir.” I turned to confirm if she was talking to me, and before I knew it, she was already just a few inches away. At that point, I said “Toh fa” in my mind, because something was definitely coming.
She greeted, “Assalamu Alaikum,” softly, and I replied, “Wa Alaikumussalam my sister.” She smiled warmly and went straight to business. “I know you’re in haste, but please listen to me,” she said, and before I could even respond, she continued. “I am a Muslim and I want you to help me. I came to buy some foodstuff but my money isn’t enough. You will give me ₦35,000, please,” she said, pausing and locking eyes with me as if I had no choice.
At that moment, I honestly didn’t know whether to laugh or pray for guidance. Her confidence was impressive, and I started wondering if she might have some mental challenges, though she looked perfectly fine.
“I understand, my sister,” I said, trying to keep a straight face. “But I will give you ₦20,000 instead. I’ll transfer it to you now, and I’m sure it will still help.” I reached into my pocket for my phone, made the transfer, and she immediately smiled, thanked me, and confirmed she received it. I nodded, got into my car, and drove off.
The moment I sat down, I just burst out laughing. Her boldness, her timing, everything was too perfect. Straight to the point. 😁
PSA:
If you're a Nigerian in Nigeria and anybody comes to you with an offer to relocate to Ghana/Cote d'Ivoire/Burkina Faso/any other country in West Africa with a job or hustle supposedly waiting for you, you can safely assume that they intend to traffick you. There is no job anywhere in West Africa. In fact you're more likely to find a job in Nigeria than in any of those places.
If you are female, there is a 99% chance you will end up in the only activity that trafficked women do, and if you are male, you will end up locked up in a house where you will be forced to scam people online, ask your friends and family to send you money (which your captors will seize), or convince other people like you back home to fall into the same trap. If you're REALLY unlucky and young enough, you might end up becoming somebody's slave inside a Galamsey pit, or enslaved to a fisherman somewhere on Lake Volta for the next 8 years (this is actually a thing that happens).
I know this tweet will not change anything, because many of you have been brainwashed into believing that everywhere outside Nigeria is flowing with honey and gold dust and your "star" resides anywhere but Nigeria, but on the off chance that it helps convince 0.1% of potential victims to sit their asses at home and find something to do, instead of becoming anonymous roadkill in Kasoa, then I have done my job.

Assessment of the 2025 Federal Budget: Inadequate to Address Nigeria's Structural Challenges.
The 2025 federal budget, amounting to N48 trillion with a revenue forecast of N35 trillion, resulting in a deficit exceeding N13 trillion or 4% of GDP, reflects a continuation of business-as-usual fiscal practices. This represents a persistent trend under the APC-led administration since 2016, wherein budget deficits have been consistently presented, accompanied by an increasing reliance on external borrowing.
To bridge this fiscal gap, the administration plans to secure over N13 trillion in new borrowings, including N9 trillion in direct borrowings and N4 trillion in project-specific loans. This borrowing strategy mirrors the approach of previous administrations, resulting in rising public debt and exacerbating the attendant risks related to interest payments and foreign exchange exposure.
The 2025 budget’s capacity to foster sustainable economic growth and tackle Nigeria’s deep-rooted challenges is questionable. Key issues arise from several factors:
1. Weak Budgetary Foundations: The 2024 budget's underperformance signals poor budgetary execution. By Q3 of the fiscal year, less than 35% of the allocated capital expenditure for MDAs had been disbursed, despite claims of 85% budget execution. This underperformance in capital spending, crucial for fostering economic transformation, raises concerns about the execution of the 2025 budget.
2. Disproportionate Debt Servicing: Debt servicing, which accounts for N15.8 trillion (33% of the total expenditure), is nearly equal to planned capital expenditure (N16 trillion, or 34%). Moreover, debt servicing surpasses spending on key priority sectors such as defence (N4.91 trillion), infrastructure (N4.06 trillion), education (N3.52 trillion), and health (N2.4 trillion). This imbalance will likely crowd out essential investments and perpetuate a cycle of increasing borrowing and debt accumulation, undermining fiscal stability.
3. Unsustainable Government Expenditure: The government’s recurrent expenditure remains disproportionately high, with over N14 trillion (30% of the budget) allocated to operating an oversized bureaucracy and supporting inefficient public enterprises. The lack of concrete steps to curb wastage and enhance the efficiency of public spending exacerbates the fiscal challenges, leaving limited resources for development.
4. Insufficient Capital Investment: After accounting for debt servicing and recurrent expenditure, the remaining allocation for capital spending, ranging from 25% to 34% of the total budget, is insufficient to address Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit and stimulate growth. This equates to an average capital allocation of approximately N80,000 (US$45) per capita, insufficient to meet the demands of a nation grappling with slow growth and infrastructural underdevelopment.
5. Regressive Taxation and Economic Strain: The administration’s decision to increase the VAT rate from 7.5% to 10% is a retrogressive measure that will exacerbate the cost-of-living crisis and impede economic growth. By imposing additional tax burdens on an already struggling populace while failing to address governance inefficiencies, the government risks stifling domestic consumption and further deepening economic hardship.
In conclusion, the 2025 budget lacks the structural reforms and fiscal discipline required to address Nigeria’s multifaceted economic challenges. To enhance the budget’s credibility, the administration must prioritize the reduction of inefficiencies in government operations, tackle contract inflation, and focus on long-term fiscal sustainability rather than perpetuating unsustainable borrowing and recurrent spending patterns. A shift towards a more disciplined and growth-oriented fiscal policy is essential for the nation’s economic recovery. -AA
Yesterday was amazing on Arise TV. Peter Obi went there, mumbling and fumbling. When asked what his solution would have been if he had inherited the economic mess Tinubu inherited, Peter Obi, the saviour of Obidients, proffered only one solution: He said he would borrow to defend the Naira!
So, Mr. Obi, let me get this straight. The Naira is struggling because the previous administration took so many foreign loans that Nigeria is too indebted to defend the Naira, but your solution to that conundrum is to borrow more money.
And the funniest thing is that he was reading from a prepared script and still managed to sound that obtuse!
May Peter Obi NEVER happen to Nigeria!

@renoomokri The best idea is to go yourself, with your stuff, and look for anyone you think is in hardship and help him. That's the only way it will get to them.
Dear Youth,
Our culture, ethics and religion admonishes courtesy and respect to elders and leaders.
What happened to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today could happen to anyone’s Father. Even you as youths, are not immune to certain deficiencies. Aging is natural. and only few had such a rare privilege ordained by God Almighty.
Don Allah a kwatamta a san irin abubuwan da ake dariya. Ba komi ake saka son rai ko siyasa a ciki. Allah ya kara muna lafiya da tsawon rai mai albarka, amin.
Ma’assalam.
Saleh Fatima Alkali did not forge her result. She did not boast about it. She did not even publish it, She also did not compare herself to others. And did not gloat. She just scored perhaps the highest mark in the JAMB UTME Examination, and remained humble and modest. It was others who exposed her and praised her.
Apart from Fatima, at least 12 other Northerners also scored above 300. However, they did not make noise after making news. They simply praised God for His benevolence and went about their daily Jihad of self-conquest and self-development.
We can all learn something about Northern Arewa culture from Fatima.
Northerners, especially the Hausas, were literate, clothed and on horses five hundred years ago. They have also been going to Mecca on pilgrimage for the last 800 years.
And they were seasoned naval aviators thousands of years ago. The Dufuna canoe, excavated in Yobe State (incidentally, Fatima is from Yobe) is 8,500 years old, and is the second oldest canoe ever discovered on Earth.
That they do not boast about money does not mean Northerners are poor. The wealthiest man in Nigeria is a Hausa man, Aliko Dangote. His great-grandfather, Alhassan Dantata, was the wealthiest person, not just in Nigeria, but in West Africa.
Since the creation of Nigeria in 1914, there has NEVER been a time when the richest Nigerian was not a Northerner.
Yet, no Northerner has ever declared himself king of money in Hausa or any other language!
That they do not boast about inventiveness does not mean they are not inventive. Alhassan Dantata was not only the wealthiest man in West Africa in his day, but he was also the inventor of the famous groundnut pyramids a hundred years ago.
Jelani Aliyu, a Fulani, is the only person of Nigerian origin to have achieved international prowess in designing cutting-edge electric vehicles, including the Chevrolet Volt and the Pontiac G6.
In terms of Western education, especially the medical profession, they produced one of the world's best cardiologists, in the person of Jibril Aminu, a professor of cardiology.
And in terms of beauty, their women surpass any other in Nigeria.
Unlike empty barrels, who are so boastful, arrogant, without any sense of moderation and exultant in hubris to the extent that they look down on others when they are intoxicated by an achievement, mutanen Arewa tend to be modest even in the height of their accomplishments. Which is why God has seen it fit to entrust power to them.
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”-James 4:6.
May God bless Arewa
May God bless Nigeria
