In Arabic, “good morning” is Ṣabāḥ al-khayr (صباح الخير). It literally means “a morning of goodness.”
What’s beautiful is the reply. People don’t usually say “good morning” back.
They say:
“A Lesson I Will Never Forget ❤️
Last Thursday, around 4:00 p.m., we were called to the hospital to donate blood for my younger sister, who was about to undergo a C-section.
When we got there, they tested our blood, but unfortunately, none of us had the matching blood group. I decided to rush back to the market so we could find other relatives or friends to come and get tested. Time was running out.
On my way, around Danjar Yankura by France Road, a traffic officer stopped me for allegedly making a wrong turn (changing direction).
I was already stressed and worried. I explained to him that I wasn’t trying to be difficult, I was only in a hurry because my sister urgently needed blood for surgery. Instead of listening, he asked me to “settle” him. I only had ₦150 in my pocket, and I told him that was all I had and I couldn’t give it away because of the emergency. He then said I should wait for his superior officer (OC).
When the OC arrived, I explained everything that had happened. He asked me a simple question:
“What blood group is needed?”
I replied, “O positive.”
He looked at me and said,
“That’s my blood group too. Let’s go to the hospital.”
I was speechless.
He followed me to the hospital, donated his own blood, and that blood was used for my sister’s operation.
By the grace of God, the C-section was successful. Today, both the mother and the baby are safe and healthy.
That moment changed the way I see people.
If someone had told me before that a traffic officer would personally donate blood to save a stranger’s life, I might not have believed it, especially with all the negative stories we often hear.
This experience reminded me that everywhere you go, you will find both good people and bad people.”
Moral lessons; We should never judge everyone by the actions of a few. There are still kind-hearted people who are willing to help without expecting anything in return.
May Almighty Allah reward that officer abundantly, protect him, bless his family, grant him success in his work, and continue to use him as a source of goodness for others.
Humanity still exists. Hope still exists. And kindness can come from the most unexpected places. ❤️
Innalillahi wa Ina illairajun @Mustaphajibia, our sickle cell warrior has sadly passed away. Allah ji kansa da rahama. What I really loved about Musty is how he looked out for others even as he had his own battles to fight.
Dear Musty,
I’m really saddened as I write this, with tears in my eyes. I know the struggles you went through, the attacks as they came, as you also reached out to me always and I say to you “the hardest part is done, InshaAllah you will survive”. The constant drugs you used and how much this pain really kept you from achieving your goals. I had even said to you, “Find a wife and I’ll take responsibility of everything,” and many significant things we were going to do. I’m deeply saddened by this loss personally. I will miss all your kind words, reminders, your checking up on me, the way you cared and most of all your favorite slogan:
“I remain loyal always
M.A.JIBIA”
I’m deeply pained but Allah knows best always🫶🏾
If I were a state governor, I would not build a single flyover, sponsor mass weddings, or fund pilgrimages until I had achieved two things:
1. Completely renovate all primary, secondary, and tertiary schools in my state. I do not want to see a single child sitting on the floor or a single classroom with a leaking roof or broken ceiling.
2. Completely renovate all hospitals in my state. No patient should be admitted on the floor or lack access to basic medicines, essential equipment, and quality healthcare services.
A committed and focused governor can achieve these goals within just two years.
Family Demands Thorough Investigation into Death of 14-Year-Old Kano Student
The family of 14-year-old Maimuna Sani, popularly known as Nihal, a JSS2 student of St. Louis Secondary School, Kano, is demanding a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
Nihal died on June 13, 2026, with the school reportedly attributing her death to an asthma attack. However, her family has rejected that explanation, alleging that she may have died after being punished by senior students.
Speaking to Daily Trust, her mother, Nusaiba Rabiu Dan Sheriff, said she was hospitalized when the school informed the family that Nihal was ill. According to her, a relative who went to the hospital was asked whether the teenager had asthma, a claim the family strongly denied.
Doctors later informed them that Nihal was brought to the hospital dead.
The grieving mother said her suspicions grew after seeing her daughter's body.
��When I saw her body, her mouth was black. I asked what they gave her that caused that, but I was told that is how dead bodies look. I did not agree,” she said.
She also claimed that a vice principal at the school advised her not to listen to any reports circulating about her daughter's death, a statement she said further raised concerns.
The family alleges that Nihal was flogged and made to kneel for an extended period by senior students as punishment for arriving late to the mosque, after which she reportedly collapsed
.
The school's principal, Rev. Sr. Christiana Diyab, declined to comment, stating that the matter is currently under police investigation.
Meanwhile, the Kano State Police Command has set up a Special Investigation Panel headed by DCP Shehu Idris, with officials from the Kano State Ministry of Justice providing oversight. Police say statements have been obtained from three teachers, three senior students, and two witnesses, while medical and forensic examinations are ongoing.
The Kano State Government has assured the public that appropriate action will be taken based on the outcome of the investigation, while reiterating that corporal punishment remains prohibited in schools across the state.
Child rights advocates have expressed
concern over the incident, warning that such cases could further erode public confidence in the safety of school environments.
🎓 Recommendation Letter Reality
Not every lecturer who helps you must have taught you directly.
Over the years, I have written recommendation letters for students who were not my direct students because I saw potential, commitment, and character in them.
