As a child growing up in a 3rd world, you trust the US’s intel. You basically have the believe that if a congress man says something, it’s because he or she has been reliably informed.
You grow up and you realize this is not the case, Washington is just like another capital city in the world where bunch of idiots come up with lies that can not be substantiated to score cheap political points.
@Bidemi819898@AdeJesuRe@eludayo_1 My grand ma did not understand English when she was alive but she knew "bloody fool"... Tho as "buladi fulu".
We get to use and know some words without knowledge of the language... That's not a miss
@AnnahFrancisco@Sasha_saffron@SholaMos1 Bold of you to use the word "Majority" without any statistical data.
You can't use the norm in your compound or vicinity to judge the rest of the world...
THE RAM BEYOND THE RITUAL - EID BEYOND THE FEASTING
1. The ram represents Obidience over Emotions.
The ram reminds humanity of the triumph of faith over personal attachment. It teaches that true devotion is proven not merely by words, but by willingness to obey divine principles even when inconvenient or painful.
And there is no divine principle that demands shedding of human blood for Allah's sake. No true muslim will forget this.
2. Sacrifice for a higher purpose.
Eid reminds humanity that greatness often demands sacrifice - comfort, ego, greed, pride, and selfishness. The ram symbolizes surrendering something valuable in pursuit of something nobler.
If Allah refused the life of Ibrahim's son yesterday, he won't demand another man's son's life today.
3. Divine Provision
The replacement of the sacrifice with a ram symbolizes Allah’s mercy and provision. It is a reminder that when people act with sincerity and faith, God creates unexpected openings.
If Allah is sufficient in provision, he is also competent enough to defend himself and will not need man's intervention in that regard.
4. Compassion and Sharing
The meat of the ram is traditionally shared among family, neighbours, and the less privileged. This transforms the festival from a private celebration into a social act of generosity and community bonding.
The lesson is clear: A celebration that does not touch the hungry is incomplete. Feed the hungry not spill their blood.
5. Victory Over the Animal Nature of Man
Spiritually, the ram also symbolizes conquering the “inner beast” - greed, anger, envy, arrogance, and uncontrolled desires. The true sacrifice of Eid is not merely on the slaughter slab, but within the human heart.
The knife is meant to cut arrogance before it cuts flesh. Kill the evil in man's heart before you kill the Ram.
Happy Eid-el-Kabir my muslim friend.
Good Morning Severally...
Few months ago, I posted a video on the proverb "ohun tó rí lọ́bẹ̀ tó fi warú sọ́wọ́" explaining that it is not warú sọ́wọ́ but waro ọwọ́.
Some people made comments that the warú sọ́wọ́ is actually the correct version and I promised to do more research on it.
Interestingly, they were right. Here is the outcome of my research.
@claxicalceleboy@mrboboskie You're "shilling" with the big boys na.
You can confirm from people in Billingham, Redcar, Hartlepool, Darlington, Stockton, etc
@AskEmmy0 "She's just a woman"
"You are spoiling someone's business"
"Na sharp guy"
"Na my tribe person"
"Forgive and Forget"
Until we value accountability and make people know that every action has consequences that must be faced, we will still be where we are

@AskEmmy0 The problem with Nigeria and Nigerians is that WE LET NONSENSE SLIDE.
"It's not that deep"
"He has a family"
"That's someone's business/livelihood"
"Don't be wicked"
"Má jẹ̀ẹ́ kí wọ́n sọ ẹ lénu"
"He didn't mean to"
"He/She is old enough to be your father/mother"

Demo with pencil before committing... Or else, tippex will need to intervene.
As per the computer sheet, you better protect it like your life depends on it... Your life actually depends on it
@I_Need_Moni@Onowu791547661@whaley_lawal@IgumaScott This is ONLY when national security is threatened in the state.
That's when the president declares SOE in the affected state... Not when the Governor is not performing other responsibilities
