I told Siri to call someone for me and she mistakenly heard and she thought i said daddy,she asked what my father’s name was and i just froze and tears almost rolled down. If you come across this please pray for him😔💔
Look closely at the neighborhood man, a N15 billion flyover sitting right in midst of poverty, no pipe borne water, no functional health care system and schools, but yeah anyi musu flyover mai kyau a unguwa 😍
We carry burdens that no one sees, and we press on despite the exhaustion because we believe that God does not place in the hearts of the patient this measure of steadfastness in vain... for every arduous path conceals at its end a mercy worth the wait.

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

In 2022 the former Chief Executive of National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Prof Usman Yusuf, accompanied his friend Sheikh Gumi, deep into large forests across states in the North to meet with six different bandits commanders. This is what he said verbatim :
''Behold, these are the drugs of choice for these bandits; codeine, tramadol, Pentazocine, intravenous drugs, Sudrex which is paracetamol and hydro-caffeine, Boska and marijuana. They go across the border in Niger republic, they buy arms worth hundreds of millions of Naira. When you see them, you ask yourself where is the money (ransom)? They spend it on drugs and arms''
Now, this was back in 2022, before the coup in Niger and the subsequent breakdown of relations with Nigeria. If bandits could so easily exploit the border then to smuggle arms and drugs that sustained their operations, imagine the channels available now, with the collapse of joint security cooperation between the two countries. This has created vast "ungoverned spaces" that has no doubt been exploited by terrorists to smuggle drugs, fighters and small arms into Nigeria.
Nigeria needs to improve its border management with Niger. Many of the security challenges confronting the country today are linked to the porous nature of that border.
Normalize being a boring Muslim. Go to bed after Isha. Wake before Fajr. Sit with Qur’an to understand. Take dhikr walks. Your life doesn’t have to be loud to have barakah. Sometimes the magic is in being unreachable. In becoming the Muslim nobody can disturb.
Wallahi, if you hear what others are going through, you’d realize how much you’ve been underappreciating Allah’s blessings around you.
Lord please forgive me for all the times I have been ungrateful.
