Some of you paid for that luxury hair bit by bit, paid for your gadgets bit by bit.
But doing Ajo to own these things is seen as fake life. This double standard is very funny.
People are doing Ajo to pay house rent.
Before Cowrywise and PiggyVest or any bank saving system, Ajo existed.
Some of our parents did Ajo to pay our school fees.
You people just have a problem with everything, ATP.
Update-
Thank you to everyone that has reached out about my post yesterday, may Allah never forsake you all. We are grateful

If you tell us to "wrap it up", God will take you b4 this month ends.
Olodos have inexhaustible monopoly over our social space - you don't tell them to wrap it up.
Oh & btw, Mr Eazi go think say we don forget am. Banter delayed is not banter denied.
Here's why I don't respond to some of the tags from nonentities you ppl egg me to respond to.
When you read from me,hear me speak - in what universe would we be stratified in the same basket?
I would be seriously worried if I'm ever on the same conversational divide with them.
Please decentre social media. Please.
Growth is painful. Growth takes time.
Social media has a way of presenting entire decades of a man's baking period as a readymade buffet.
If you measure against others, it is only a matter of time before you run mad.
Calm down, Chief.
In case you wish to know the event that led to the popular Yoruba say, “Adagba je Raufu, o san ju Ogundeyi ba n mugba wa "
There was a man called Ogundeyi, he was like a bar man in one of Yoruba King's palace, His duty was to serve King's guest every day.
One day Ogundeyi converted to Islam. The scholar gave him a new name RAUFU.
Raufu decided to travel with the scholar for a few months.
On his return to the town, Ogundeyi (now Raufu) shunned his job of service man at the palace, claiming Islam abhors drinking of intoxicants.
He became subject of discussion, taunting, abuse, name calling and jesting.
One of it is... Adagba je Raufu. That is at old age, you suddenly realized the need for Raufu instead of Ogundeyi…😂😂😂🤣🤣
It's one thing to develop and work hard at improving yourself, it's another to end up with a destructive partner, may Allah protect us from evil of Men

My husband asked me to give a quick second look to a proposal he wanted to submit. I doubled the amount he asked for. I said "Let's give room for negotiation. Don't low-ball yourself". Long story short, they didn't negotiate. It got approved. Man has been looking at me like I'm a fairy. 🤣🤣

It’s okay to live in a house with a normal ceiling.
It’s okay to repeat clothes.
It’s okay to drink pure water.
It’s okay to attend a government school.
It’s okay not to have a washing machine.
It’s okay not to own the latest gadgets.
It’s okay not to own the latest luxury items.
It’s okay to be you.
Let’s decenter the pressure we’ve placed on ourselves to be aesthetically pleasing.
It will get better for sure, but for now, do not be ashamed of where you are. It’s a process.
Nobody is putting any birth control thing inside my wife’s body. No extraneous chemicals or pills. We will only have kids when we BOTH unanimously agree, as God allows in His mercy. And when we’re done, I’m getting a vasectomy. A woman’s body is too sensitive for these chemicals. The side effects are crazy!
Even at this stage of life, I still work harder than expected because I fully support my 3 children and lots of other people.
I am very grateful for my life, choices, opportunities, divorce, trauma, challenges and every single journey that I have been and still am
I am a very favoured and blessed person and I am hugely successful according to my own standards and templates even if I say so myself. I am a very grateful human being. Allah has been and remains generous with and to me. My Lord is Indeed very sufficient in all ways
To every Sister in Marital distress , I pray God supports you and sorts you out, it's a phase. Keep working Hard , Ask God for improved sustenance and Help. He will help you .
Sisters keep pushing for capacity building, Keep betting on yourselves, Never relent on your ability to grow, evolve , earn beautifully and thrive, Never stop Asking God for sufficiency , Being a woman does not mean you cannot be rich and Islam has not condemn you to poverty or lack , Never Muslims are not poor people.
Most of the restrictions they are projecting on you is cultural, that's not Islam, I am glad many notable Sane Brothers have confirmed that to you . May Allah bless your efforts.
As for irresponsible Muslim Men, You can insult me from Now till the end of time, I will only block your silly Arse off , you won't get a response from me BUT I will only beg for one thing, Please help Us reduce the Numbers of Sisters you are making miserable, stop making them single mothers in Penury, I don't want Sisters to beg for survival and food especially for their children , it's dehumanising! Be Responsible for your Children even after separation or Divorce
Yes Do us all the favour.
I pray Allah punish you all maximally for your unkindness and wickedness.
Divorce does not equate abandonment of children's responsibility. Do the needful and grow up
He who Allah has blessed no one can destroy. My Sustenance and blessing is from my Lord and He remains Limitless and sufficient in all. Alhamdulillah

Āmīn.
There is a particular kind of manipulation that thrives in Nigerian Muslim communities and it has been so normalized that most women do not even recognize it when it is happening to them.
It sounds like this: "A woman who chases money will forget her home." "Financial independence will make her arrogant." "She doesn't need to work, that is the man's responsibility."
And because it is delivered wrapped in religion, most women swallow it whole.
But here is what nobody tells you that is not Islam. That is insecurity dressed in a jalabiya.
The Quran gave women property rights over 1400 years ago when Europe had not even conceptualized the idea. Khadijah (RA) was one of the wealthiest merchants in Mecca.
She employed the Prophet ﷺ before he became a Prophet. Her financial power never made her less of a wife, less of a Muslimah, or less of a woman. It made her one of the greatest human beings to ever walk this earth.
So when did we decide that a woman knowing her money is a threat?
I will tell you when. The moment men realized that a woman with options is a woman they cannot manipulate. Financial dependency is not modesty. It is a control mechanism. And we have been conditioned to protect it by calling it deen.
I have always believed that money is not a man's conversation it is a human necessity.
And as a Muslim woman specifically, understanding wealth is not rebellion. It is your right. It is your protection. It is quite literally built into your religion.
Nobody should have to be
Beg for maintenance, stay in a toxic marriage because they cannot afford to leave, or shrink their ambitions because a man's ego is more comfortable with their ignorance.
Women like @ronkecarew exist in this space and remind me that this is not a radical opinion. It is simply what happens when you actually read when you go back to the source instead of inheriting somebody's cultural anxiety and calling it faith.
Know your deen. Own your money. They were never in conflict to begin with. 🤍
Stop telling little girls:
_The wedding day is her biggest day
_She needs a man to submit to in marriage to be complete.
_A man is her crown.
_Your husband owes your body.
_You must be a wife
I need women to be free and we must start from the foundation.
