@Awedathefirst Legit. Mine was from the market women as I passed through them.

[Hon. Jesugbemi @Hon_Jesugbemi]

Governor Seyi Makinde gave his word to the people of Oyo State, and today, that promise has been fulfilled.

From the very beginning of the abduction of the pupils and teachers of Baptist High School, Oore, Oriire Local Government Area, the Governor assured Oyo residents that every available resource would be deployed to secure their safe return. Throughout the difficult period, he remained calm, coordinated security efforts, and consistently expressed confidence that the victims would return safely.

Today, that assurance has become reality.

This successful operation is a reflection of purposeful leadership, effective collaboration, and the resilience of the security architecture in Oyo State. It is also a reminder that difficult security operations require patience, strategy, and unwavering commitment.

Special appreciation goes to the Nigerian Armed Forces, the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and the Oyo State Amotekun Corps.

The sacrifices made by these security agencies,especially the over 200 Amotekun personnel deployed throughout the operation demonstrate their dedication to protecting the lives of Oyo residents.

Governor Seyi Makinde kept faith with the people of Oyo State and remained committed until the victims regained their freedom.

Thank you, Your Excellency, for your leadership. Thank you to every security operative who made this day possible.

For this one, Oyo State is grateful.

30 Basic Practical Things to Teach Kids

Here's a list I created of small but important things to teach our children, ranging from personal hygiene to financial dealings to safety tips.

We as Muslims have so much guidance and wisdom in the Quran and the Sunnah for how to deal with life and its situations and dilemmas with adab and intelligence. We must pass this guidance on to our children so that they don't feel lost or stumble blindly through life.

Parents sometimes forget to teach their children practical life things. Sometimes parents get so busy or so overwhelmed just doing the biggest, most overarching duties, like working to feed and shelter children, that they don't pause to realize that there are finer details about life they ought to make sure their children know.

Some examples of concrere, practical life advice and tips parents should teach children:

1. How to act in an emergency (if the child gets lost or separated from parent, if there's a fire, if you are being followed, etc)

2. Memorizing the parents' phone numbers

3. Knowing your exact home address

4. How to deal with bullies or injustice

5. How to stand up for yourself in situations, including physical self-defense

6. How to resist peer pressure and not follow others in doing haram; how to have unchanging principles

7. How to do basic cleaning things like clean up a mess, wipe a spill, scrub something stuck, pick up after yourself, organize your space, etc.

8. How to make a request or ask someone for something politely

9. How to delicately interject in an adult conversation without rudely barging in and interrupting an adult mid-sentence

10. How to apologize when wrong

11. How to forgive when wronged

12. How to deal with your emotions: sunnah of how to manage anger, how to root out harmful emotions like hasad (الحسد , jealousy), etc. We neither totally suppress our emotions nor fully indulge every emotion. Bottling up our emotions doesn't work. Pretending or being fake doesn't work. Concept of open communication, honest self-expression, authenticity, while maintaing respect for others.

13. How to cook basic things (make a simple sandwich, boil an egg, pour milk, chop a salad, etc)

14. Personal hygiene (steps of washing in the shower, steps of using the restroom, طهارة: tahara/ purity, استنجاء: istinja/ washing after bathroom use, du`a for entering and exiting the restroom)

15. Dental hygiene: how to brush teeth, floss, sunna of how to hold and use a miswak (مسواك), fresh breath, etc

16. Social niceties: How to moderate tone when speaking, how to walk without bumping into others, personal space, how to maintain a conversation, how to excuse yourself from a conversation, having أدب (adab: manners), etc

17. How to firmly but respectfully disagree with others

18. How to express yourself authentically or state the truth honestly with offending others, or how to deal with others who are easily offended

19. How to care for/ deal with a baby, if they have a baby sibling (basics: do not carry a baby too heavy for you to safely carry, do not play rough, be gentle, etc)

20. Basics of money and financial sense: how to pay for things at a store or online, how to make smart purchasing decisions, how to avoid impulse buying or over-spending, how to save, the concepts of debt and riba (ربى, usury), etc

21. How to dress: the concept of عورة (`awra, that portion of the body which must always be covered), الحياء (haya', modesty), types of fabric or garments to wear, how to wear clean and presentable clothing and maintain a tidy appearance. (This is a longer discussion for daughters: hijab, and other things must also be taught.)

22. How to address elders: never use an elder's first name without a title, show respect, etc

23. How to deal with uncomfortable or awkward situations, fights, learning conflict resolution, and how to de-escalate tense situations

24. How to keep certain things private: maintaing healthy boundaries between public and private spheres, protecting details of family life from nosy strangers, being careful about guarding your own and other people's privacy, not over-sharing, not giving away secrets. Concept of أمانة (a trust), etc

25. How to interact with decorum with the opposite gender in a mixed setting: غض البصر (lowering the gaze), الحجاب (hijab as a system, barrier to free mixing), how to politely turn down shaking hands with the opposite gender, how to hold a respectful conversation when necessary, how to avoid اختلاط (inappropriate casual mixing), etc.

26. How to look for a lost item: the du`a for searching for a lost item, retrace your steps, etc

27. How to deal with a small injury: recite Surat Al-Fatiha (سورة الفاتحة: الشافية) over it, wash a cut with water, cover with a bandaid, etc

28. Food: sunnah of eating, du`a before and after eating, use the right hand, eating halal, eat only when hungry and stop before getting too full, hadith of one-third for food, one-third for drink, one-third for air, etc

29. Etiquette of entering a room: greet those present, give salam, sit where there's room, etc

30. Markers of Puberty: separate indicators for males and females, signs of physical puberty like underarm hair, facial hair, body or voice changes, sweating and body odor, etc. Concepts of بلوغ (bulugh, maturation/ coming of age), accountability before Allah, and no longer being "just a child." Knowing that Allah is All-Seeing, All-Hearing, All-Knowing (البصير، السميع، العليم). Be aware of Allah in all your dealings.

What would you add to this list?

Whenever I visit my Dad with the kids I can see how happy he is to be around his grandchildren. He takes them out on a walk and spoils them with gifts. I have come to realise that as you get older wealth means less and less to you and the value of human companionship becomes even more obvious. When we tell men to prepare for their old age, it is not all about saving money and acquiring properties. There is a lot you will need in old age that money can't buy.

●Live a healthy life. Watch what you consume. All these herbs you drink including the aphrodisiacs you religiously consume, their consequence will come at a time when even money may not be able to rescue you. Listen to your Doctor on what is healthy for your heart, liver and kidney.

●Avoid risky behaviors. Have you seen how drunks age? It is a sight for sore eyes. Even the promiscuous men seldom have a good end. Some contract diseases like syphilis that wait for them till old age to strike. Now is the time to cut all of that from your life.

●Don't burn human bridges. You need beautiful relationships in old age. Loneliness won't save you from depression in old age. You wouldn't understand that now. Your wealth may attract a community of people to you but wealth seldom attracts person's who really want to he around your except for what they think they can benefit from you.

●Live honorably with your wife and kids, at least to the best of your ability. Don't let all the talk about women turning their kids away from their fathers in old age discourage you from providing for your family adequately and being there for them. My question to such excuses usually is why are you focusing on the evils in marriage to decide on a path. Why not look at beautiful homes even in old age and aspire to be that? So, be there for your family to the best of your ability because there can be no replacement for them in old age. Also, don't burn bridges with other family members and those around you. You need as much good people around you as you can find when old.

Old age is a place of consequence, where the result of the life you lived while young will stare you right in the face, and trust me, there are consequences that all the money in this world won't save you from!

Tinubu is the C-in-C.
Tinubu is the GCFR.
Tinubu is in charge of the Army, Navy, Airforce, Police, DSS, NIA, NSA, Civil Defense e.t.c.

Only him has the make appointments and give final order to these security agencies.

When there was a coup plot against him, he immediately reshuffled the entire security architecture of the country.

And you want me to leave such person with such tremendous power,

And blame Seyi Makinde who doesn't have authority over a private soldier in Oyo State.

Or do you think C-IN-C and GCFR na ordinary chieftaincy titles in your village??

DOCUMENTS YOU MUST HAVE AS A LANDLORD

Many people focus only on building the house and forget the importance of documentation. But let me tell you something from real experience, a house without proper documents can become a future problem.

As a landlord, these are some important documents you should have and protect properly.

SURVEY PLAN
This shows the exact location, measurement, and boundaries of your land. It helps confirm ownership and prevents boundary disputes.

DEED OF ASSIGNMENT
This is one of the major documents that legally transfers ownership of the property to you. Without it, proving ownership can become difficult.

CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY (C of O)
This is a strong government-backed document showing legal ownership rights over the land. If your property has it, keep it safe.

BUILDING APPROVAL
Your approved building plan is very important. It shows that your building was approved by the appropriate authority and complies with regulations.

RECEIPTS AND AGREEMENTS
Payment receipts, land agreements, and transaction records should be kept properly. Never throw them away because “the house is already built.”

STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS AND ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS
Many people ignore these after construction, but they are still important for renovations, future extensions, or structural checks.

TENANCY AGREEMENT
If you rent out your property, always have a proper agreement with tenants. Verbal agreements alone can create unnecessary problems later.

TAX OR LAND USE CHARGE RECORDS
Keep records of payments made to government agencies concerning your property.

Another important thing is SAFE STORAGE
Don’t keep your property documents carelessly. Make photocopies, scan digital copies, and store originals properly.

From real experience, some people lost properties not because they were not owners, but because they could not provide proper documentation when issues arose.

Documents are not just papers
They are protection
They are proof
They are security for your investment

You may spend millions building a house, but one missing document can create serious stress later.

So the question is, do you really have complete documents for your property or you are just assuming everything is complete?
