Whoever is mindful of Allāh, He will make a way out for them, and provide for them from sources they could never imagine. And whoever puts their trust in Allāh, then He alone is sufficient for them.
[S��rah at-Talaq, Verse 2-3]
Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.
It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.
Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.
This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
It’s a big shame for Nigeria.
Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: When the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of 'Ashurah and commanded us to fast on it, they (i.e. Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, this is a day which is considered great by Jews and Christians? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When the next year comes, we shall fast on the 9th of Muharram. But the next year the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) breathed his last.
(Sunan Abi Dawud 2445, Book 14, Hadith 133)
I prayed Tahajjud every single night and made dua for the same things... until a scholar told me
"you're talking TO Allah but you haven't stopped to let Him talk back."

One year ago, innocent ABU Zaria hausa wedding travelers were murdered in Mangu, by Mangu Christian terrorists, not for a crime, but for asking directions.
Someone DMed me today and begged me to raise my voice because he saw my bio, my tweets, and how many of my posts have been going viral. Something serious is happening in Bagega, Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara State. The person sent me voice notes, pictures, and videos as evidence, and honestly, I was shocked by what I saw.
This issue deserves urgent attention, but I also have to think about my safety and my family. We all know the risks involved when speaking about banditry and insecurity. I’m not afraid, but my family cannot afford to lose me.

Narrated `Aisha (RA): (the wife the Prophet) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Aisha! This is Gabriel sending his greetings to you." I said, "Peace, and Allah's Mercy be on him." `Aisha added: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to see things which we used not to see.
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 8, Book 73, Hadith 220)
The last time I was in Lagos I paid to enter a beach in Lekki.
Not a resort. Not a water park. A beach.
Sand. Water. A coastline that existed long before any of us were born.
Someone bought it. Fenced it. Put a gate on it. Now you pay to touch the ocean.
What kind of government sells its people access to nature?
Happy Democracy Day. 🇳🇬
