“If you give a red card here, the consistency, why is not Messi getting the red card?”
@Jermainejunior on Flo Balogun receiving a red card in the USMNT’s Round of 32 victory.
Yesterday, something happened in Kano that I still can’t process.
A young boy who was out picking garbage just to earn a halal living was kidnapped, taken to an uncompleted building, and killed in cold blood. A woman heard his screams and alerted the local vigilantes, but by the time they got there, it was already too late. They found the man washing his hands, trying to leave.
When they asked him what the little boy had done to deserve such evil, he simply replied.Nothing.
Nothing?
That answer has been ringing in my head ever since. That child was just trying to make an honest living. He was someone’s son, someone’s joy, with his whole life ahead of him.
SubhanAllah. My chest is so heavy. At this point, Kano is beginning to scare me. May Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him Jannatul Firdaus, and give his family the strength and patience to bear this heartbreaking loss. Ameen. 🤲💔
This morning myself and other well wishers of Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai were at the Federal High Court Kaduna at about 7am, waiting for the court to give verdict on his bail application, only for us to be notified that the Judge has called in sick.
There were clear indications from the last sitting that the judge will grant him bail today. We know what we’re doing in this country.
