A reply from @Grok No, jihad in Islam primarily means "struggle" or "striving" in the path of God. It includes personal efforts against sin (greater jihad) and defensive warfare under strict rules (lesser jihad), but it's not synonymous with taking lives. Sources like the Quran
Capt Ibrahim Traoré is not negotiating with mediocrity.
He is humiliating it.
In under two years he built Faso Mêbo from scratch, a real state construction force.
First drop: over 900 heavy machines for roughly 200 billion FCFA.
Then another 776 (bulldozers, graders, excavators, asphalt plants, compactors).
Thousands of machines now sitting in Burkina Faso hands, not foreign contractor yards.
Target locked: 3,000–5,000 km of roads every year.
Expressway launched. Youth trained.
Citizens donating money and materials.
Roads actually appearing.
This is what happens when a leader treats the country’s resources like they belong to the people instead of a recycling plant for political thieves.
Now look at the Nigerian Federal Government — the continent’s most expensive faulty Tiger generator.
It coughs, it smokes, it screams “light is coming,” then plunges the whole house into darkness while the owners keep buying fuel for it.
Decades of oil money.
Endless budgets.
Endless “infrastructure interventions.” Result? Roads that swallow cars, power that exists mostly in press statements, contracts that vanish into the same sticky hands, and citizens still running generators like it’s a national sport.
They have turned governance into a performance of incompetence.
Loud. Expensive. Completely unreliable.
Every new administration just replaces the spark plug and pretends the machine is new.
Traoré is building.
The Nigerian FG is still shaking a dead generator and blaming the fuel.
One is constructing a future.
The other is a national embarrassment with a budget.
Faso Mêbo is the standard. Everything else is noise.

Can I Say Something Without Anyone Taking It Personal?
I know this won’t sit well with some of you, but let me say it anyway.
I’ve seen quite a number of newly married women post things like, “Now that I’m in my husband’s house, I can fry as many eggs as I want,” or “Now I can eat whatever I like,” or similar posts comparing life in their husband’s home to life in their father’s home.
Maybe it’s just me, but those posts have never sat right with me.
Now, if someone grew up in genuine hardship and is simply appreciating that life has improved, I can understand where that emotion is coming from.
