El-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz born (Malcolm Little) or Malcolm X as he was famously known was a Muslim Civil Rights Activist, orator, prominent in the 60's.
He is famously known for addresses like the "The Ballot or the Bullet", where he warned the United States government that if they failed to protect the civil and voting rights of Black Americans , they would have to resort to the bullet.
Or "Message to the Grassroots" where he distinguished between a House Negro and a Field Negro, famously declaring "There's no such thing as a non-violent revolution".
He was spokesman for the Nation of Islam from 1952 to 1964 when he broke away after performing the Hajj, and seeing Muslims of all races and ethnicities perform Hajj rites together shattered his earlier belief in inherent white evil, and he tried building an international solidarity against oppression rather than racial separation.
As part of his tour of Africa, Malcolm X visited Nigeria in May 1964.
He gave a fantastic speech in Trenchard Hall, University of Ibadan to wide applause of students and intellectuals.
The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, of University of Ibadan, welcomed him and gave him the name Omowale. "The child has returned Home".
That name struck Malcolm X so deeply and he would later describe it as one of the greatest honors of his life.
He would be assassinated in 1965, but his legacy as a champion of Black American rights, has endured for decades.
Malcolm "Omowale" X. Peerless Civil Rights Hero.

In our mosque earlier today, the imam said that we should pray for Nigeria, that only prayers can salvage this nation.
One person at the last row stood up & said “the Saudi that we go for hajj & enjoy basic amenities there, they didn’t achieve that by prayers. They achieve that by competent leadership.”

PRESS STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
It is with profound joy and a deep sense of brotherhood that I, Imam Yunus Olushina Teliat Ayilara II, PhD, the Grand Chief Imam of Ogbomosoland, extend my warmest congratulations to Sheikh Muhammad Bashir Dasuki Imam...
Ethnocizing Ilorin as a Fulani state is precisely how you lose it.
Not even Ilorin Fulani people openly call it as Fulani as you say, as it opens up back up for the Afonja line.
You probably don't understand how the intricacies of Ilorin is.
They are very careful to hammer on religion than ethnic.
Call it Fulani land and let them ask you any Fulani settlement all around Ilorin and watch you stutter.
"Fulani state". You don't even know what you are talking about
@officialABAT They exaggerate numbers and celebrate selective statistics, but go silent when asked about the millions of Nigerians living below the poverty line. If the reforms are working, ordinary citizens should be feeling the impact, not just hearing the figures.
What was the Islam being practiced then?
Tell us!
You see this constant attacks against the Prophet Muhammad SAW is why we would never work together.
And this subtle threats are just what they are.
Mere threats.
Hot air.
Go onto the streets and try nonsense nah.
1. My son, currently in 400 Level Medicine and Surgery scored 333 in JAMB but his name did not even APPEAR on the Admission List. I was later told by the Institution that, my son could be offered Micro Biology. I told the Registrar of the institution POINT BLANK that, "I have spent HUGELY (Several Millions of Naira) to get my Son to this Point of Entry (PoE) to become a Medical Doctor and not to become a Biology Teacher through her offer of Micro Biology. This Registrar was so MEAN. She simply told me, we are very sorry, Micro Biology is the BEST we can OFFER your son.
2. At this Juncture, I proceeded to JAMB Headquarters, Abuja to meet with Prof. Oloyede who swiftly asked for my son's JAMB details, punched these details into his laptop and everything concerning the university came up on his screen.
3. Prof. Oloyede said and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, please go back home and sleep with your two eyes closed. From what I am seeing on my screen, your son is No.3 on the List of Medicine and Surgery of this institution with a JAMB SCORE of 333 which comes behind two other JAMB scores of 348 & 334 respectively. Unfortunately, none of these chaps, including your Son (i.e JAMB Score 348, 334 and 333) made the Admission List"
4. Prof. Oloyede continued and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, in SANE countries, this Institution should have sent the College Driver with an official vehicle to go and fetch your son from Ekiti to campus having projected himself into the MERIT LIST of this Institution but unfortunately, the endemic corruption in these institutions will just not allow them to follow Due Process"
5. Right in my presence, Prof. Oloyede put a call through to the Vice Chancellor of this Institution, setting his phone on speaker and spoke angrily at the Vice Chancellor, lamenting on the endemic corruption under his nose as it concerns university admission. This Vice Chancellor apologized to Prof. Oloyede saying what has just happened must have been an ERROR of OVERSIGHT on the part of his Management Team & promised Prof. Oloyede that he will personally ensure the Error of Oversight is corrected.
6. Within 24 hrs of that conversation between Prof. Oloyede and the Vice Chancellor, my son checked the university's Admission Portal and discovered his name has been INCLUDED as Number Three on the admission list while the names of the other chaps that scored 348 & 334 also appeared on the admission list as Number One and Number Two respectively.
7. The good news in all of these is that, my son that would have been CRIMINALLY denied admission ab-initio now TOPS his class with a G.P.A of 4.85
This is neither Federal nor State government doing... Every sector of the economy in Nigeria is corrupt.
