Memento mori

[Arwa Damon @IamArwaDamon]

Excerpt: At first I was not sure I had heard the doctor properly.
“C4, like the explosive?”
“Yes, they thought it was cheese. They found it along with some bottles of water and Pepsi.”
It’s towards the end of Nov 2024 and I’m in Gaza City. The IDF had recently withdrawn from the area this family lived in. The family had briefly returned.

Sued His University to the Supreme Court and Won ₦20,000,000!

Case: Victor v. F.U.T.A. (2026) 8 NWLR (Pt. 2044) 33

Imagine graduating, knowing your grades were wrongly calculated, but being handed a lower class of degree than you earned. Most students would accept "fate" and move on.

Mr. Adebayo A. Victor refused to back down.

What makes this story incredible? Victor was a layman (not a lawyer), yet he personally prosecuted this case through the entire hierarchy of courts for nearly two decades.

The 19-Year Battle for a 2:1
In 2007, Victor graduated in Mechanical Engineering from FUTA, receiving a Second Class Lower.

Convinced his scores were wrongly recorded, he spent four years begging the university to re-mark 10 specific courses. The university ignored him.

In 2011, he sued. The journey was brutal:
2013: The trial court dismissed his case on a technicality. Victor appealed and won a retrial.
2017: The High Court finally ordered FUTA to re-mark his scripts. FUTA refused and appealed.

2022: Under Supreme Court pressure, FUTA finally complied and re-marked the scripts.

The Plot Twist: Victor was right all along. The independent re-marking officially upgraded his degree to a Second Class Upper. His correct certificate was physically handed to him in open court at the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court Defends Student Rights
With the degree secured, the Supreme Court turned its attention to the university’s conduct.

Led by Justice Helen Moronkeji Ogunwumiju, JSC, the apex court established a massive precedent:
The Duty of Care: While universities have academic autonomy, they owe a "Duty of Care" to their students. They must provide fair assessments and transparent complaint procedures.

The Penalty: By ignoring Victor for years and causing him to lose international scholarship opportunities, FUTA breached that duty.

The lower court had awarded Victor a mere ₦500,000. The Supreme Court threw that out as too small and reviewed the awards upward:
₦18,000,000 in General Damages for emotional distress.

₦2,000,000 in Litigation Costs.

Total Takeaway: Victor walked away with his rightful Second Class Upper degree and ₦20,000,000 in compensation.

The Big Insight
"Justice is not a fencing game where one party seeks to outsmart the other." Whether you run a university or a business, you cannot hide behind institutional bureaucracy to ignore legitimate complaints.

Huge respect to Mr. Adebayo Victor for his unmatched resilience!

Could you have held on for 15+ years to defend your academic rights? Let’s map it out in the comments!

[Abuja Property Guy @Abdulrasheed_YK]

Last year, I almost lost my wife to preeclampsia during pregnancy.

In fact, last year was the first time I ever heard the word "preeclampsia."

My wife was six months pregnant when doctors discovered that both her life and the baby's life were at risk.

What followed was one of the most difficult periods of our lives.

The hospital we were using in Gwarimpa referred us to the Federal Medical Centre in Jabi.

When we got there, they explained that they did not have enough ICU capacity for a premature baby and referred us to the National Hospital, Abuja.

I immediately drove her there.

Unfortunately, part of their ICU was under maintenance and had already been fumigated.
The remaining units were full, so they could not take us.

Again, they referred us to Garki Hospital, Abuja.

By this time, my wife's condition was getting worse.

Her eyes were swollen.
Her legs were swollen.
Her face had become so swollen that she barely looked like herself.

She was exhausted, dizzy, frightened, and in pain.

Yet I kept telling her everything would be fine, even though deep down, I was terrified.

At Garki Hospital, after reviewing the scan results and referral notes, they told us the case was too critical for them to handle.

Imagine driving from one hospital to another with a pregnant woman whose life was in danger, while every hospital kept referring you elsewhere.

The most painful part was that none of the hospitals could arranged an ambulance despite seeing her in a critical condition.

I was driving and making endless phone calls, speaking with doctors that I know, speaking with friends, and anyone who could point us in the right direction.

Finally, someone suggested the Teaching Hospital in Gwagwalada.

That was our last stop and that was where we found hope.

The doctors and nurses there fought with everything they had to safe her live.
At the same time they tried to buy time and help the baby's lungs mature enough to survive after delivery or if delivered safely.

They did everything possible.
Sadly, it wasn't enough.

The injections used to accelerate the baby's lung development took a serious toll on my wife's health.

Eventually, I was asked to sign documents acknowledging any possible outcomes.
She was also prepared to go for CS.

I signed.
To this day, I can still remember that moment.

My mind was racing.
My hands were shaking.

I was preparing myself for outcomes no husband ever wants to face.

By the mercy of Allah and the dedication of the medical team she had a normal delivery and my wife's life was saved.

(But we lost our baby girl 😭 😭 😭)

There are pains that never completely leave you.
Losing a child is one of them.

Still, I remain grateful.

Grateful that my wife survived.
Grateful to the doctors and nurses at the Teaching Hospital in Gwagwalada.

They are among the finest medical professionals I have ever encountered.

And grateful to Allah for carrying us through one of the darkest moments of our lives.

Two days ago 13th of June 2026, Allah bless my family with a male child….. Alhamdulillah. 😊

Today, as I look at everything my wife endured, I have even more respect for mothers and pregnant women.

The strength they carry is beyond words.

To everyone trusting God for the fruit of the womb, may He answer your prayers.

To every pregnant woman, may Allah grant you a safe pregnancy, a safe delivery, and a healthy child.
Ameen. 🤲

[🇵🇸رشفات من المعرفة(Mrs) @FadimatuAmeen]

Dan Allah, let’s keep this baiwar Allah in our du’as. My heart is heavy for her, wallahi. How does something like this happen? Fī sabīlillāh…how is she coping?

Ya Allah, protect her wherever she is. Surround her with Your mercy and protection, ease her fear and hardship, and return her safely to her family. Grant her loved ones patience and strength during this difficult time.

Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn. May Allah make her affair easy and reunite her with her family in safety and goodness. Ameen. 🤲🏽

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Call for help.

My mum was hit with a stroke in may 2024.

Since then our lives haven't remained the same. My family have spent all our savings yet her condition hasn't changed.

She has severe BP challenge, she has diabetes. Which has gone on to take a toll on her kidneys.

Piece of advice: if you are a parent, watch out what the Finns are doing and copy them. It's one of the few countries that pays closer attention to their youth. They observe, study, and adjust all the time!

For example, they are now gradually reversing their decade-long, tech-heavy education model to combat declining cognitive performance and severe classroom distractions. Schools are scaling back on devices in favor of printed textbooks, handwriting instruction, and pen-and-paper assignments.
