Sulaymฤn ibn Buayda narrated on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allฤh ๏ทบ used to teach them when they went out to the graveyard:
ุงูุณููููุงู ู ุนูููููููู ู ุฃููููู ุงูุฏููููุงุฑู ู ููู ุงููู ูุคูู ูููููู ููุงููู ูุณูููู ููููุ ููุฅููููุง ุฅููู ุดูุงุกู ุงูููููู ุจูููู ู ููุงุญููููููุ ููุณูุฃููู ุงูููููู ููููุง ููููููู ู ุงููุนูุงููููุฉู
"Peace be upon you, people of this abode, from among the believers and those who are Muslims, and we, by the Will of Allฤh, shall be joining you. I ask Allah to grant us and you well-being."

Every Nigerian, including newborns, now owes about โฆ700k as Nigeriaโs public debt hits โฆ166.79tn
Every Nigerian, including newborn babies, is now carrying an estimated debt burden of about โฆ700,000, according to Tolulope, a presenter with Nairametrics.
Speaking on Nigeriaโs rising debt profile, Tolulope said the countryโs external debt had climbed from approximately $43.1 billion when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office to about $54.5 billion by June 2024, representing an increase of roughly $11.4 billion.
She added that domestic debt also jumped from around โฆ59 trillion to โฆ91.5 trillion. Combined, Nigeriaโs total public debt currently stands at โฆ166.79 trillion.
According to the presenter, the Federal Government also projected borrowing an additional โฆ29.2 trillion under the 2025 budget.
The government has maintained that the funds being borrowed are largely being channelled into economic reforms, infrastructure and other development initiatives.
However, Tolulope noted that the growing debt raises questions about its impact on ordinary Nigerians, particularly if debt-servicing costs begin to put pressure on government spending, taxation and the wider economy.
She explained that while borrowing could provide funding for roads, electricity and other developmental projects, the key issue is whether the borrowed money is generating sufficient economic growth, employment opportunities, infrastructure and government revenue to justify the additional burden.
โThe real question is not simply whether Nigeriaโs debt has increased, but whether the borrowed funds are producing enough economic growth, jobs, infrastructure, and government revenue to justify the additional debt burden,โ she said.
Congratulations to Iconic Open University on being officially granted a Full Statutory License by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the National Universities Commission (NUC) today. This milestone makes the University, where I am proudly a student, a fully recognised private university in Nigeria.
