@BenYousef_E There's a longer version and it's messy on the part of the woman.
The family claimed she started having an affair with the tenant before the end of her iddah which she denied.
But let's agree she remarried, how do you re-marry in the house built by your deceased husband?
when I was doing my BSc in political science, I used to glaze over revolution as the only solution to Nigeria’s problems.
but after my several touch-points with reality, I have come to a higher realization that in our bid to sail towards a place of Eldorado, if we by chance toe the line of revolution, people like you and I would first be killed by this kind of people. if that happens, we have lost the revolution. it will just swiftly turn to a looting exercise with no direction.
@stay_richy@GallantDaletian@Gashaash Lolz...
You think these guys just enter the land without paying???
It's the land owners that sold them the right to mine. This is a very open operation with no secrets in ilesha.
Once you them with pumping machine and digging tools, you already know their job.
@GallantDaletian What these guys did to a cocoa farm I rented at Iyinta, Ilesha ehn. Only for me to find out that it's the farm owner that sold them the right to mine there.
She has a Private equity firm and this is what her private equity firm does.
Her company buy companies that are not publicly traded on the stock market, improve them, and later sell them for a profit.
Here's a simple example:
Imagine a bakery is worth ₦10 million, but it is poorly managed.
A private equity firm buys the bakery.
They hire better managers, expand to more locations, reduce unnecessary costs, and increase profits.
Five years later, the bakery is worth ₦50 million.
The firm sells it and makes a profit.
Think of it like this:
Private equity is like buying an old house, renovating it to make it more valuable, and then selling it at a higher price.
The difference is that instead of houses, private equity firms buy and improve businesses.
It’s not like I am defending him o, but we are completely missing the context.
What did you people expect him to say there? He is way younger than those guys and he has not lived their reality. Someone like Shank talking about being 30% Chinese is likely coming from a place of doing a DNA ancestry test. Peller has zero exposure to that kind of thing, so how is he supposed to relate or contribute to that?
Those guys are not his mates and his upbringing is completely different. We can all attest to his family background.
When you sit with people who have exposure and experiences far beyond yours, the normal thing is to just look at their mouth and listen.
It is a learning opportunity, not a sign of being stupid. It has happened to me many times too when sitting with elders or people exposed to things I don't know, and I am not an Olodo by any measure.
@OlaBabanla@qaribasmad Ani olodo to tun wa low in comprehension ni yin seh.
Where in that reply did I mention that he drinks alcohol or engage in Zina?
@DrealBeejay@harbsart "humans are the same everywhere"
This is something I've always preached. Humans are innately greedy, it is enforced laws that keep us in check. Where laws are not enforced, you see the animal in human.
Even God that created us gave laws and attached punishments to every sin.
Let me share my opinion on the Islamic perspective to this.
In Islam, every creation has a Ghayah (an ultimate end). This is why I argue that a child with a disability is not a biological error: they are also a purposeful creation.
The first thing we look at is the biological timeline. Based on the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the soul is breathed into the body at 120 days. Before this mark, the fetus is a living entity but has not reached full legal personhood as a soul.
If a medical board confirms a fatal condition that is incompatible with life, some scholars allow a choice for termination to avoid unbearable hardship. But once that 120 day mark passes, the child is a full citizen of this world. At that point, the move is no longer about a medical choice. It is about a commitment to a life that Allah has already decided to send.
Again, we have to be very careful with how we categorize disability because not all conditions are the same. A fatal malformation such as anencephaly, where the child cannot survive outside the womb, is handled with a specific legal leniency before the soul is breathed in.
However, for conditions that are life altering but sustainable, such as Down Syndrome or physical limb differences, the Islamic argument is one of patience (Sabr) and spiritual refinement.
Allah says in the Quran that He created humans in the best of stature. This does not mean everyone has a perfect body or a high IQ. It means the design is perfect for that soul's specific journey and test.
A child who may never commit a sin due to his/her incapacity or who requires constant care is a specialized mission from the Creator.
Ibn al-Qayyim argued this in Miftah Dar al-Sa'adah that the existence of "deficiency" in the world is proof of the "Perfection" of the Creator. He made a profound intellectual point: if everything were perfect, we would never know what mercy, completeness, patience, or gratitude looked like. In this context, it forces the parents and the community to practice mercy (Rahmah) and humility.
Again in Islam, there is a paradox in how we look at strength. While the world thinks a disabled child takes away your resources, the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us that victory and provision (Rizq) come because of the weak among us.
That child might be the secret reason you have a job, health, wealth, or safety. They are not the ones dependent on you. You are the one dependent on the blessings that come with their presence in your home.
If this happens to a Muslim, the next move for a father is to be the pillar (Qawwam) for his wife. He must ensure she feels no shame or guilt. He should realize he has been selected to raise a guest of Jannah. This is a promotion in rank, not a tragedy to be avoided.
You are being asked to guard a soul that Allah specifically chose for your house. Your role is to accept the decree (Qadar) and prepare for a unique gate to Paradise that most people will never have the chance to enter.
Allah knows best.
US blocking the passage of oil and gas to Cuba = democracy.
Israel blocking the passage of food and medicine to Palestine = democracy
But
Iran blocking the passage of oil and gas through Hormuz = terrorism
Hmmmmmmm otun gbe mi debe🤣
