Some Nigerian ladies shout, "I can never marry a broke man!" Fair enough. But ask what they're doing to avoid being financially dependent themselves, and suddenly the conversation becomes offensive. Omo, financial stability should be a personal ambition too.

I'm sorry, this story keeps going around, and despite the local Nigerian Christian Lawyers Fellowship and Christian Ass'n of Nigeria statements urging people not to spread incorrect information as the case proceeds, these incorrect facts keep circulating.

The woman's name is Lami, not Liyatu.

The judge's name is Kumalia, not Kumdila.

The issue in the case is whether Lami was essentially a knowing accessory in the kidnapping of a 16 year-old girl with Muslim parents, who was removed from Borno to Plateau State surreptitiously by an "evangelist" who is still at large to a Christian school without the mother's consent.

The judge acquitted the 4 other Christians charged, but convicted Lami.

Some sources have said the judgment was based on sharia law, but it was not. Sharia law is not mentioned in the judgment, and nothing in the reasoning of the judgment resembles sharia law.

All of this is in the judgment, which by now has been shared publicly by various sources.

The case is currently on appeal. I can imagine all sorts of potential defenses. I do not know all the facts of the case or the proceedings, so refrain from any judgment about the merits of the appeal.

As soon as Islamophobia is removed from the world and nations like America and Isreal can no longer use it to manufacture consent, the world will have peace

Islamophobia is a political tool. Fear of Muslims makes it easier to justify foreign policy that would otherwise get pushback.

They need us to be afraid of Islam so bad that in an election that has over 400 seats voting, and 35 senate positions but they are concerned that 2 Muslims made the ballot as if it was only Muslims that voted or only Muslims contesting

Islamophobia is dead

[Mo Baba @MoBabaX]

They want Muslims to vote for Peter Obi, a Christian, but they’re angry that Americans voted for a Muslim? So Muslim votes are acceptable when its benefit their candidate, but Muslim leadership is unacceptable? Interesting mathematics!

[Ụlọma 💜 @ulxma]

You people want Muslims to vote for Peter Obi but you’re fuming that two Muslims were elected out of the literal hundreds of people who were voted into positions of power. Practically saying that Muslims have every right to reject Obi for not sharing their faith. Dumb ass. 😭

Since I made this tweet, three players have died. England, China and now Spain.

Again, I don't care how good you're perceived to be once yiure a threat to other players, I deeply resent you.

[Dear LayoHomes @layoproperty]

An Alhaji bought an apartment for a babe through us, but something happened that left me wondering.

The babe reached out to me recently and said her friend wanted an apartment in the same estate.

I told her the current price.

Immediately she saw the price, she went mute. No reply. Nothing.

Yesterday, she sent me a WhatsApp message

She: Please, can you help me sell my apartment, I’m travelling abroad?

Lol. Something wasn’t adding up but I played along

I asked if she was in possession of the property documents?

She said the house documents were with the Alhaji.

I told her we could explore the sale process, even if she didn't have the papers physically, provided the rightful owner authorized it.

Plus the property documents were in his name, she has to get the papers before we can put it out for sale.

She ghosted me since yesterday

The fact that she had no idea how much the apartment actually cost baffled me. Some ladies are lucky. My God

[Mo Baba @MoBabaX]

@egi_nupe When a Muslim man misbehaves, the entire Muslim male population is suddenly placed on trial.

Some self-proclaimed feminists have replaced critical thinking with collective punishment, whereas a woman's misbehavior is viewed as an individual choice.

Allahumma barik. Success.

Alimat and her husband have become another case study in Nigerian Twitter’s courtroom, where everyone is a judge, nobody needs evidence, and the loudest person delivers the verdict. Marriage disputes deserve facts, not gender based fan clubs.

[Mo Baba @MoBabaX]

@ronkecarew @Hazbiyallahu_ Men, be bold, honest & financially responsible. If you want polygamy, do it properly, not through deception. And to women who prefer being financially dependent side chicks, remember that another woman’s husband is not a retirement plan. Build your own income, and independence.

One day on kaduna Abuja Exp Way, I stopped and prayed in Shema fuel station and saw that attractive yam and egg, bought worth 2k to try it for the first time, that was also the last time. Took one small bite and i still have the bad taste and smell 2 yrs after.

@LAMPA_2287 @Zayyad_Yazeed Some U.S. B1/B2 visa interviews end in Administrative Processing (AP) under Section 221(g), meaning a final decision is pending further checks or documentation. Not everyone leaves the embassy with an immediate approval or refusal decision.

A reported 58 people dead after gunmen attacked a Taraba community for hours. Yet politicians travel with convoys of armed security personnel.

In Nigeria, protection seems guaranteed for the powerful while ordinary citizens are left praying to survive. What a country!

[Mo Baba @MoBabaX]

@egi_nupe The same EFCC that couldn’t guarantee whistleblowers protection as promised. They made big promises about Yahaya Bello’s case. Now Nigerians should trust them with their identities & property details? Even trust itself would demand police protection before coming forward.

[Mo Baba @MoBabaX]

@ahmedhalimah02 Who exactly is holding the meeting where Muslim men agreed that it’s no longer business as usual? Because some of us didn’t receive the memo. We were busy looking for our prayer mats.

[Mo Baba @MoBabaX]

Nigerians have suffered so much from unreliable electricity that freezers no longer preserve food, we now have to preserve the cold itself.

At this rate, someone will soon teach us how to charge an iPhone using frozen egusi soup.

Eku iya 😒

[Esther 💫 @Esther290354929]

My mother-in-law taught me this trick. 👇

Filling empty cans with water and place them in your freezer to freeze. It helps preserve your food for longer time when there’s no power supply.

If your freezer is supposed to keep your food frozen for 4 days without electricity, doing this can help extend that period to a week or more.

I share what I do, not what I hear. 😉

Everybody, directly or indirectly dey collect premium shege under this administration. Even Ebola look Nigeria, check the economy, fuel price and cost of living, come say, “Abeg, I no fit survive for this country.” Even virus know when to japa! 😊

[Mohammed Jammal @whitenigerian]

“Nigeria no longer has Ebola”- WHO 🎉

[Mo Baba @MoBabaX]

Nigeria’s government is promising single-digit inflation by 2027. Iyen na nice. But Nigerians cannot feed their families with economic projections. Until food, transport and electricity become affordable, your impressive statistics mean very little to the average citizen.

[Mo Baba @MoBabaX]

In a functioning democracy, security agencies protect citizens and uphold the law. In a failing democracy, they risk becoming instruments for intimidating critics and defending powerful politicians.

NG Armed Forces vs Insecurity/Bandits/Kidnappings.
FG/KD Govt vs @elrufai

[Mo Baba @MoBabaX]

In Nigeria, a politician can fail for eight years, switch political parties, and suddenly become a hero. The problem is not just our leaders, it is a political system that rarely punishes failure.
