I was honoured to join friends and football lovers in Zaria for the final match between Wonder Boys FC Zaria and Strikers FC Zaria, sponsored by my friend and brother, Iliyasu Balarabe, Deputy Chief of Staff to Speaker Abbas Tajuddeen.
It was a fiery, competitive match that went down to a penalty shootout, with Strikers FC taking the win.
I urge people in similar positions who have the financial capacity to organise events like this, as it will directly support Governor Uba Sani's administration in making sports a tool not just for entertainment, but for job creation and youth empowerment.

It is time for the FCTA to revisit the drainage and sewage systems in Abuja. There is a need for total rehabilitation and restoration of the infrastructure.
The extreme flooding in some areas of Abuja is totally embarrassing, given that it is a city we built from scratch
On this day, five years ago — 16 August 2021
After two decades of deliberations, the Federal Government finally signed the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) into law. Alhamdulillahi.
Today’s progress in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector is, in many ways, built on the foundation he laid. By giving the NNPC the oxygen and institutional reforms it needed to operate more effectively and efficiently, he helped set the sector on a new path.
Thank you, T-Care, for the foundation you laid. ✅
Continuity in governance is not only about political stability; it is also about preserving, improving and building upon sound policies and institutions established by previous administrations.
Continue to rest in peace.
May President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) succeed in taking these reforms even further and delivering greater prosperity for Nigeria. ❤️🤲🇳🇬

Five years since the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

We have quite a number of knowledgeable scholars on this app for every display of ignorance by a Muslim to be met with the most vicious invective or threats. Understandably, there are those whose arrogance manifests in a refusal to learn, but there are also subjects that demand humility from both sides.
To excommunicate a fellow Muslim who either does not know of, or disputes the existence of, a particular Hadith, and to do so in such a dehumanising tone and fashion, helps no one. Not the person being corrected. Not the self-styled traducer. And certainly not the Deen itself.
Sheikh Pantami, for instance, has made himself largely available to answer questions, as have many other scholars. Our unity would be better served by restoring decorum to our discourse on Islam, rather than surrendering to the animalistic impulse to abuse and threaten those with whom we disagree.
Otherwise, what exactly sets such conduct apart from the early impulses of practising violent extremists, whose journey towards violence often began with the same language of excommunication, dehumanisation and threats?
As an academic or researcher, you need only one PhD. If you want to make a meaningful impact, you should go deeper into the field you specialize in. Pursuing multiple PhDs in different fields may lead you to lose focus.
