@DrJoeAbah Boss, you'll need to detox. First, turn off ALL temu notifications. Then take the app off of your home screen. Keep the registered bank card temporarily empty. If these don't work, uninstall the app for a while. If these still don't work, I got nothing else for you, sir. 😅
Hello Lola, I am a Muslim, and our spiritual tradition has a very deep approach to raising children. I want to share some tips from our scholars that will be beneficial to you regardless of your faith.
First of all, our theology teaches the concept of Fitrah. This means that every child is born with a pure heart. At six years old, she is not a criminal mastermind. She does not have a wicked soul.
If she doesn’t have all these, then what is happening? The truth is that she is just lacking impulse control and testing boundaries. By this, if you look at her as a manipulator, you will fight her. However, if you look at her as a pure soul making mistakes, you will be able to guide her.
Secondly, for every problem anyone faces today, it has been solved in history. The only problem is how to locate them.
A classical scholar named Al-Ghazali wrote about child psychology over 900 years ago in his famous book “Ihya Ulum al-Din.” In his section on disciplining children, he gave a practical rule I want you to adopt going forward.
He advised that parents should never push a child into a corner where they are forced to lie. When you ask a question you already know the answer to, her survival instinct kicks in. She cries and she lies to defend herself because she is scared of you. Stop interrogating her. Just look at her and state the fact. Say, I know you took this, and we are going to return it right now.
Again, another scholar and sociologist Ibn Khaldun addressed this exact behavior in his masterpiece titled: “Al-Muqaddimah.” He warned that when a child is raised with harsh punishment, they learn deceit, trickery, and lying to protect themselves. This is why she is covering her tracks and crying to manipulate you. The fear of a harsh reaction is making her a better liar.
Lola, do not attach a label to her. Do not ever call her a thief. If you attack her identity instead of her action, she will internalize it and grow into that dark label. Tell her the action is wrong but protect her dignity.
Make her return the item. Do not fall for the tears. Hold her hand, walk her back to wherever she took it from, and make her hand it back and apologize. The discomfort of returning a stolen item teaches a much better lesson than beating her will ever do.
Finally, I don’t know if you are a Muslim, but never underestimate the power of your own words. In our faith, we believe the prayer of a parent for a child goes straight to God without any barrier. Pray over her. Pray for her heart to be content and for her character to be straight.
Keep doing this consistently and the habit will break.
Allah knows best.

@BlehisBack As the spirit leads, man. I tried the "prepare for the week" thing and couldn't commit.
Pick this top, skirt or pants and combine with guidance from my ancestors 😪
@BalogunAbass12 I was on the bridal train, right in front of the couple and the groom kept scolding the very meek bride. "You're not walking smartly", "You're not smiling", "pick up the pace"... ladies and gentlemen, that marriage has been over for a while.
@subpharmacist@arojinle1 I don't know which school of pharmacy you graduated from (so the codes may differ), but this was one of the first things we learnt in PHCT 101 in ABU. Proudly taught to us by Prof. Olurionola 😊
Every time I want my duas accepted, I call Him by these names,
Al-Fattah —opener of closed doors
As-Sami — the One who listens,
Al-Mujib — the One who responds
Al-Wahhab — the One who gives.
And every single time…
He answers. He accepts my duas.
Alhmdulillah.
@_DebbieOA@a__vanita This was done to me 4 times. That stitch up is definitely the worst part of labour for me. Followed closely by those nasty vaginal examinations.
