I was informed that my mother has been sick 3 days ago by my dad on WhatsApp
I kept mute because I was still hurt
I couldn't just ignore for long so I took a bold decision yesterday to visit my parents after a long time of threats and curses from them since I reverted to Islam
My parents were shocked to see me though
So I bought them some provisions and gave to them like I used to in the past
I saw my mother and I was weeping inside my heart
I learnt they've gone to several hospitals but her condition persists
So without looking back I held her hands and started reciting surah falaq,nas and ayatul kursi
Then I got a glass of water and recited surah fatiha on it and blew air into it and gave her to drink because I learnt that surah is also called The Cure
My father didn't stop me
But I noticed my mum started getting relieved gradually
To cut the long story short I left towards the evening because I had a flight to catch to lagos and I left hurriedly
When I got to lagos as at 7pm I called them back and my father said my mum has been sleeping so I let them rest
This morning my dad's call woke me up by 4am to tell me that my mums sleep improved overnight and she's been moving her limbs better since last night
He said whatever I did yesterday worked o that he doesn't mind if I keep doing that
I was overjoyed after the call
I had my tahajjud and thanked Allah and prayed my mums health improves
But I still kept wondering how a simple surah from the Glorious Qur’an could be so effective
I am beginning to deepen my Fear for Allah SWT
On the other hand I am wishing they turn to Allah so they can see how Great Allah is and worship him too
Indeed Allah is the greatest
I lost my memory for almost two months after delivery. 😭I’d call anyone passing by to come and carry the baby in my room because I genuinely didn’t know whose baby it was.
My husband said he’d just pet me and calmly tell me, “Please breastfeed the baby before the mother comes”
I read her story on TikTok. She was a beautiful lady, nothing was wrong with her before pregnancy.
She got pregnant and had a child, and suddenly, she couldn’t see with her eyes again, and next thing, tumour in her brain, all of this happened postpartum.
I’ve said it before (check my page) and I’ll say it again, I’m so scared of the evil that pregnancy and childbirth are capable of doing to women’s life.
Pregnancy and childbirth will forever be a life threatening condition to me, and you don’t necessarily have to agree.
Lastly, to those men who said they’ll abandoned their wife who’s in labour to go and stay with their friend that got shot in hospital, ẹyin nu, ọlọhun nu.
Simi, you do not owe anyone an explanation, yet you addressed this with honesty and clarity. That shows the kind of person you are and the integrity you carry.
Anyone digging up old tweets to twist the story and push a false narrative is acting maliciously.
Deleting some tweets to protect your family is not guilt, it is wisdom and maturity.
You remain the best female artiste in Nigeria.
Some of us can think critically and stand apart from the mob mentality.
I fully stand with you and everything you have said.
When women say "STOP rap*ng women"...
Your response cannot be "what abt men/children" neither can it be "what abt false accusers" nor anything else.
Your reply MUST only be YES!!!
You can start your own separate conversation abt anything else at another time/place.

Verily, had the Muslims been commanded to face any direction in salah, the kuffar would still have said, "this is division" and they would mock, saying, "these face here, and those face there". But it is from the bounty of Allah that He has made the truth and path clear while
I have two students that need financial assistance.
The first want to pay tuition fees of around 197k at Ibadan Poly. The other want to pay practical fees at a university.
I don’t know have the capacity to help them at the moment. I pray Allah comes through for them. 🙏☹️
There has been a circulating post for a few days claiming that a cure for sickle cell disease has been found. This is misinformation.
What has actually been established is a hospital in Nigeria where bone marrow (stem cell) transplants can now be performed. This is a major medical milestone, but it is not the same as discovering a cure for sickle cell disease.
Previously, sickle cell patients in Nigeria who required bone marrow transplants had to travel abroad for the procedure. Now, there is a facility in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, where this can be done locally and it’s very expensive. Though this reduces cost and stress of traveling abroad for patients and families.
So to be clear: no new cure has been discovered. What we have is improved access to an existing treatment option within Nigeria — and that is still a significant step forward.
Don’t use misinformation to raise the hope of vulnerable patients.
