It is with immense pride and heartfelt joy that we celebrate a remarkable milestone in the life of Dhalhat Ishaq Yunus Almadany, the distinguished son of the late Sheikh Ishaq Yunus Almadany.
After years of rigorous training, discipline, and unwavering commitment, he has successfully passed out from the prestigious Nigerian Defence Academy, an institution that shapes not only officers, but men of honour, courage, and service.
This achievement is more than a personal victory. It is a living tribute to the values, faith, and dignity instilled by his late father, whose memory continues to inspire those he left behind. In choosing the path of service to the nation, Dhalhat has carried forward a noble legacy of character and purpose.
Congratulations, Officer Cadet Dhalhat Ishaq Yunus Almadany.
May this be only the beginning of a distinguished and blessed military journey.
I remember during our induction 16 years ago, someone insisted on knowing the “package” so the coordinator said:
“We cannot tell you what the package is, but let me tell you something, being with us, you are not poor, by any standard.”

A TRUE-LIFE STORY ❤️🥹
Yesterday morning, I was travelling in a Keke Napep when a little girl stopped us. She looked at the driver and said:
“Keke driver, good morning.”
He replied, “Good morning. How are you?”
She said, “Alhamdulillah.”
He asked her, “Where are you going?”
She replied, “School gate. Can you take me there? How much is the fare?”
He told her, “₦300.”
She became quiet. She lowered her head, and her eyes became red as if she was about to cry.
Then she said:
“Keke Napep driver, I only have ₦100. Will you take me?”
He replied:
“No, honestly, I can't. You have to pay ₦300.”
She quietly said:
“Okay, no problem. You can go. Even if you take me, I don't know who will bring me back home. This ₦100 is the only money my mother gave me.”
Then she said something that really touched me:
“I will just have to walk. My mother doesn't have any more money. I put my trust in Allah. Good people have not disappeared. There are still people who love the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If one person doesn't take me, another person will.”
The driver then said:
“Okay, keep your ₦100. I'll take you for free.”
So we continued our journey.
As we travelled, I looked at her and asked:
“Is your father still alive?”
She replied:
“Yes. My father is a soldier. Whenever he goes away, it takes a long time before he returns.”
I asked her another question:
“Who normally gives you money for transportation to school every day?”
She said:
“My father sends money to them at the end of every month. But after they buy food and other necessities, the money they give me for transportation to school is what remains.”
I asked again:
“So, has the money finished now? What happened?”
She replied:
“My mother became sick and was taken to the hospital. She was put on a drip and was also given blood. They called my father and told him what had happened. He said he honestly didn't have any money because the month was already far gone.”
She continued:
“So they sold the food they had bought and also used the money meant for my Keke Napep fare to pay for my mother's treatment. That's why I'm walking to school today.”
I was asking her all these questions with so much emotion that I almost cried. 🥲
Then I asked:
“Do you attend an Islamic school?”
She said:
“Yes. When we were in Kano, I attended an Islamiyya school. But since we moved back to Abuja, I haven't been enrolled in one. My mother teaches me how to read the Qur'an at home every day.”
With every question I asked, she gave a clear and intelligent answer.
I was honestly amazed. She was such a young girl, yet she spoke with so much knowledge, maturity and understanding.
When we finally reached the school gate, I had ₦1,500 in my pocket. I decided to give her ₦1,000.
But as she was about to get down and leave, the Keke driver said:
“I heard everything you two have been talking about. So keep your ₦1,000.”
He called the girl back.
Then he brought out ₦7,000 and gave it to her.
He said:
“Keep this money somewhere safe so you don't lose it. When you get home, give it to your mother and tell her to buy ₦5,000 worth of food for the family. Keep the remaining ₦2,000 for yourself so you can continue paying for your Keke Napep fare until your father receives his salary.”
Then he added:
“When you get home, tell your mother that someone who loves the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave you this money.”
He then brought out another ₦500 and gave it to her.
He said:
“Keep this too. Add it to the ₦100 you already have. Use ₦300 to buy breakfast, and keep ₦300 for your Keke fare when school closes so you can get back home.”
After the girl left, I looked at the man and asked:
“Brother, are you also a soldier, or perhaps a government worker?”
He laughed and said:
“No, wallahi. I'm neither. I sell soup ingredients. In fact, I'm on my way to the market right now.”

Shaykh Ibrahim bin Adel Hamzah Al-Madani was born in Madinah on 8 Dhul-Hijjah 1397H, he grew up in a religious household and studied Qur’anic Studies.
His maternal grandfather was a Hafiz of the Qur’an and had a great influence on his upbringing.
His journey with the Adhan began remarkably early. At just 15 years old, he began calling the Adhan at his local masjid in Madinah. He later continued as a Muadhin at Masjid al-Maddah before Allah honoured him with appointment as a Muadhin of Masjid al-Haram in Ramadan 1439H (2018).
Although a son of Madinah and influenced by its traditional style of Adhan, he also learnt the Makkan style through his connection with the late Shaykh Abdul Latif Mulla, a former Muadhin of Masjid al-Haram. His beautiful and distinctive voice became familiar to millions through the Adhan and the Takbeerat of the Haram.
But perhaps even more beautiful was what took place away from the microphones.
One of the muezzins of the Haram said that Shaykh Ibrahim would sometimes remain for days in the Mukabbariyyah, hardly leaving it, devoting himself to worship particularly during the final part of the night.
Those who knew him described him as a man of remarkable ‘ibadah, devotion and closeness to Allah.
He passed away at dawn on Monday, 10 Rabi‘ al-Thani 1448H, at approximately 48 years of age.
His Janazah will be prayed in Masjid al-Haram, and he will be laid to rest in Jannat al-Mu‘allah.
A life that began with the Adhan in Madinah at 15, and ended after years of calling millions to the prayer from the House of Allah.
May Allah accept every Adhan he called, every hidden act of worship in the depths of the night, forgive his shortcomings, raise his ranks in Jannatul Firdaws and make the voices he called towards Salah a witness for him on the Day of Judgement.
May Allah forgive Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Madani, shower him with His boundless mercy, illuminate his grave, and raise his ranks in Jannat al-Firdaws. May Allah accept his lifelong service to Masjid Al-Haram and make every Adhan he called a continuing source of reward for him.
I hope and pray that we will never hear that Malam Nasir El-Rufai has died in ICPC custody.
In Nigeria, anything can happen, and recent events have shown why the conditions and treatment of persons in detention must be taken seriously. Reports of 37 detainees dying in NSCDC custody are deeply disturbing and demand a transparent, independent investigation.
If 37 people could reportedly lose their lives while in detention, what guarantees the safety of one person?
Tinubu Must Go.
Someone that believes his god has a mother, his god died for his sins instead of just forgiving, his god was killed, believes his god prayed to himself and so on. Is calling another person dumb, lmao.
No wonder your pastors are cashing out heavily on your retarded ass.
Scavenging for impression landed her in trouble. People warned her since the tweet was barely 100k impressions to delete it, but she was reluctant to take it down. Hopefully she enjoys the meal over there.
I wish our security agencies are putting this much energy tracking down bandits and other terrorists terrorizing us.
I hope it ends easy for Hafsah, and hope many of you posting nonsense for engagements learn from this.
EL-RUFAI: JUSTICE SHOULD BE SEEN DONE
The NSCIA has persistently refrained from commenting on the controversy surrounding the prosecutions of @elrufai or any political figure. However, recent developments in the public domain have raised serious concerns about religious bias.

It may sound like a joke, but I’m dead serious.
I really want to marry this girl’s father. I want to taste him the fruit of marriage he never had before. He will never enter the kitchen, even if we are playing in the house. I will wake up early to bathe him and prepare breakfast, and even add his lunch box or flask with Lipton/coffee.
I will randomly text him, video-call him, and even send him view-once videos on WhatsApp to relieve his stress at work. He will never, by mistake, take a single broom.
I’ll give him the full package of marriage he never received throughout the past 30 years of his marriage.
Lastly, I will always respect his first wife and will not hate her children.
After they retired from the service, this 👇 is the team they join to help in the killllllings of the Muslims in southern kaduna. Elrufai dismantled them using constitution al power. But one 3diot is now crying foul.
AN ETERNAL LEGACY 🇦🇷✨
From a young dream to absolute glory for his country. 🏆💙
THANK YOU for everything, Leo Messi! 🙏
