This penetrated my soul. He must get that Gold. Talent is Talent regardless of your Faith
Alhamdulilah Yah Rabb and please forgive me for every single time I complained. I'm just human and you created me like that 🙏😩
The English Premier League has announced the reintroduction of short breaks during matches to allow Muslim players to break their fast with water and energy gels.
These brief pauses will take place in games that coincide with sunset during the month of Ramadan, when Muslims abstain from food and drink from just before dawn until sunset each day.
Ramadan is a month centred on developing God-consciousness, self-discipline, and personal growth—encouraging believers to refrain from harmful behaviour and strive to become better people.
It is not permissible in Islam, it is considered haram for a man to touch or even shake hands with a woman who is not related to him,” — a young man stated, citing a verse from the Qur’an to support his claim
Why Many People Are Poor
Nobody needs an iPhone 17. They may want it. But they don't need it. You don't even need a phone. Until you understand what a need is, you will always go broke because you are using your scarce resources to fulfil your wants. A need is something that is an absolute requirement.
You need food, water, shelter, clothing, love, education, security, respect and the opportunity to pursue your own happiness. Outside of these, almost everything else is a want.
And there are some needs, such as sexual intercourse, that you control, in that you do not start having them unless and until you open the door. Which is why people, like me, have taught sexual abstinence until you marry. Once you start, your body will find it difficult to stop, which is why the Creator designed it for the institution of marriage.
When you understand this discipline, you will have better clarity on how to manage people, time and money.
Sadly, most people in our society do not understand the difference between their needs and their wants. Which is why you see people with expensive wigs, iPhones, designer clothes, and who went to a club or lounge the previous night, begging for loans to pay their house rent, buy food or settle their children's school fees.
If you live by discipline, you will not need to pray to meet your necessities.
Many people living in multi-dimensional poverty are right now thinking of how to raise money, not to start a business, or to meet their needs, but to catch fun this Christmas.
Our desire for immediate pleasure is often why we do not have an eventual treasure.
Capital is not the problem with many of our people. We can always raise capital, even if it is small. The challenge is what we do with it.
For example, look at how many Nigerians were victims of loan apps before the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission intervened.
But here is the issue with that: All those people accessed the loan apps via their smartphones. That means they already had enough capital to start a small business in the first place.
How much did Mohammed Yunus, through his Grameen Bank, give as capital to help people in Bangladesh escape poverty? As little as $5!
Nature will provide you with enough to meet your need, but not your greed. But if you try to satisfy your wants before your needs, the same nature will humble you because you are not mature.
Look at it this way: If you cannot manage your need, why would God and man give you wealth and power?
You see that in society, where people breed and have children when they don't have an income and accuse their relatives of being wicked if they refuse to help them raise their family.
You do not need an immediate family if you have no income. You need a job or business. And it does not matter if time is going by and you are ageing. Let time go. Let age come. Those are not criteria for expansion. Growth in your family should ONLY come with a rise in your income.
If the Black Race can understand and implement this, we will end poverty in one generation. And with poverty gone, its evil twin, insecurity, will also go.
Focus on developing a strong sense of self-esteem and self-respect so that your purchase decisions are driven by your needs rather than societal pressure.
I go back to what I started with-an iPhone 17. You don't need it.
Recently, I spent time with Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the wealthiest Black person on Earth. He does not have an iPhone 17. Instead, he uses a regular Samsung Android phone.
A phone is a communication device, not a status symbol.
As we end the year, if the most expensive thing you bought was a phone, especially one that you do not need, your 2026, should God spare your life till then, should be devoted to acquiring the discipline of prioritising your needs over your wants.
Surely, some people will call you stingy. But guess what? Only a beggar is an expert at identifying stingy people!
frica, 2024.
"We are terminating the habit of running three budgets in one inflow. By March 31, 2026, all capital liabilities from previous years will be fully funded and closed. From April, Nigeria will operate on a single budget."
~ President Bola Tinubu says
At a time when some voices are making noise and spreading confusion in an attempt to tarnish the name of Islam, Allah — in His infinite wisdom — is opening the hearts of many others, guiding them toward the light of truth and understanding.
While some seek to misrepresent Islam, Allah continues to raise the banner of truth, and people across the world are discovering the beauty, peace, and mercy that Islam truly stands for.
Burna Boy, we warmly welcome you as you step into the fold of the true and saving religion — Islam. May Allah strengthen your faith, fill your heart with peace, and guide you on this blessed path.
Islam is the religion of peace, compassion, and mercy — a way of life that uplifts the soul and unites humanity under the worship of one Creator.
Again, Peter Obi Lies Against President Tinubu and De-Markets Nigeria
After staying silent about the recent crisis situation facing Nigeria, particularly the imminent attack, until I called him out, Peter Obi is up to his old tricks of using lies to discredit Nigeria out of desperation to resuscitate his failed Presidential ambition.
Nigerians should take note of how he and his supporters have been celebrating what they perceive as the downfall of Nigeria, thinking that a foreign power will divide our country and create smaller countries.
In his latest fallacies, Peter Obi claimed that "While the insecurity did not start with the present government, what is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion on the part of APC APC-led government/leaders to effectively govern, galvanise and lead Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed and killed, a Nation where peace, truth and justice reign!"
Actually, that is a lie. According to the 2015 Global Terror Index, published by the Institute for Economics and Peace, there were 7512 terror-related deaths in Nigeria. For those interested in fact-checking, you can read the report here: https://t.co/sEa7oc7ccF
Fast forward to 2025, and, according to the same 2025 Global Terror Index, published by the Institute for Economics and Peace, there were 565 terror-related casualties in Nigeria in 2024. You may go through the data here https://t.co/PSDVXtOGKU
The death of even one Nigerian is condemnable and regrettable, however, if the Tinubu administration has been able to reduce terror related killings to 10% of their 2015 numbers, then how can Peter Obi abuse that government of incompetence, especially as under Peter Obi, as Anambra Governor, an estimated 1000 young men were extrajudicial executed and their bodies thrown into the Ezu River?
The fact remains clear that Peter Obi is a desperate liar who lacks patriotism and will do and say anything to advance his Presidential aspirations, including selling out Nigeria.
Nigerians should also note that this whole brouhaha started on September 26, 2025, IMMEDIATELY after Peter Obi concluded his lobby visit to Washington, D.C., between September 23-25, 2025.
Nigerians should note that Peter Obi is nothing more than a Quisling, who will unpatriotically betray Nigeria even when he knows the truth.

STATEWIDE BROADCAST BY HIS EXCELLENCY, SIR SIMINALAYI FUBARA, GSSRS, ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2025
My dear good people of Rivers State
Recall that Rivers State was placed under a six-month emergency rule, declared by Mr. President, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on the 18th of March, 2025, following the intense political crisis in our State.
2. It is without doubt that the last six months had been enormously challenging for our dear State under the emergency rule.
3. As your Governor, I accepted to abide by the state of emergency declaration and chose to cooperate with Mr. President and the National Assembly, guided by my conviction that no sacrifice was too great to secure peace, stability, and progress of Rivers State.
4. This was why I also resisted the pressure to challenge the constitutionality of the declaration of a state of emergency, the suspension of democratic institutions, and all other actions that we endured during this difficult period.
5. In the course of the six-month period, Mr. President graciously brokered the peace process with all the parties successfully. Our Leader, His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, all members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and I, as your Governor, have all accepted to bury the hatchet and embrace peace and reconciliation in the best interest of our dear Rivers State.
6. We believe the political crisis is now behind us and that peace and stability have once again returned to Rivers State, though not without the hard lessons learnt from the emergency rule.
7. The responsibility now rests squarely on us: the Government, the State House of Assembly, political leaders and stakeholders to put aside our differences, work for the common good, and advance the interests of our people above all else. We have a duty to ensure that the peace we have all embraced remains permanent in our dear Rivers State.
8. On behalf of the Government and the good people of Rivers State, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. President for his fatherly disposition and decisive interventions in resolving the political crisis and for graciously restoring full democratic governance to our State.
9. Personally, I will never take Mr. President's kindness for granted, and for that, I hereby reaffirm my utmost loyalty and eternal gratitude.
10. To those who have expressed genuine fears, frustrations, and uncertainty over the nature of the peace process, I assure you that your concerns are valid and understood. However, nothing has been irretrievably lost; there remains ample opportunity for necessary adjustments, continued reconciliation, and inclusiveness. We must all remember the saying... " the costliest peace is cheaper than the cheapest war".
11. Accordingly, let us, therefore, embrace this moment as a fresh beginning. Let us work together with renewed hope and determination to build a stronger, more peaceful and prosperous Rivers State. I assure you that we will continuously work towards ensuring that we carry everyone along.
12. Despite the turbulence, you are aware of the credible milestones our administration achieved in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and other key sectors over the last two years.
13. Our immediate responsibility is to return to the path of governance and development by completing the projects which we started by ensuring none of them is starved of funds or neglected, thereby reviving our economy, protecting lives and property, and improving the wellbeing of all Rivers people.
14. I commit to working harmoniously with the Rivers State House of Assembly to recover lost grounds and accelerate the social and economic advancement of our dear State. I also renew my pledge to serve with the fear of God, humility and a high sense of duty.
15. I wish to sincerely thank you, the resilient people of Rivers State, for your patience, courage, and peaceful conduct during the six months of emergency rule.
