Same people that celebrate Musicians for winning Grammy award or nomination are under this post asking what value does winning Quran competition add
What value does Asake's Grammy add to anyone?
What value does Lookman African best player add?
What value does Wole Soyinka's Nobel laureate award add?
Or it is only when Quran is involved that we start asking questions?
Yeye people everywhere

Also, let me know which ones you've ever tried.
May be people that have never liked him😁. You can look at the cup from two ways; the pessimist's view and the optimist's view. Looking at it as half empty or half full. What if he wins after the whole drama? Would his enemies concede to defeat & allow life continues or they will double their enmity against him? One thing is certain, what Allãh Has destined to be will be; a win or a lose. We believe in one thing, "struggle over what you find beneficial, then rely on Allãh and do not give up"! It is a Hadith. It is our philosophy.
I'll also say this as someone who grew up on the nice side of the barbed wire fences and high gates in the very nice part of town where the Nigerian 0.1% live - learn to touch grass and worry about yourself because rich people really do not care about you. Like, at all.
The Nigerian rich don't even like each other. They barely tolerate one another and make practical alliances to preserve wealth and influence. And now that the economy is too small to support all the children of the Nigerian 0.1%, nearly everyone I grew up with in the nice, leafy part of town now lives in Toronto or London or wherever. You, Mr N250k/month Union Bank contract staff are not part of rich people's thinking at all.
At. All.
The rich have no plans for you. They have no plans to create opportunities for you. They have no plans to fix the things they broke on their way to building that N1bn townhouse in Parkview Estate. They have no plans to contribute towards making society better. If Satan came from Hell with a tail and horns growing out of his head and he ran for political office, the rich would all go make deals with him - because in the world of the rich, the only thing that matters is their own interests, and making sure that they never, EVER have to live like you or next to you.
So all this simping and vicarious fawning over wealth and fame that you people do everyday is the most redundant thing in the world - the rich have no intention of expanding their circle to let you in, and they have no intention of enabling the conditions for you to create your own independent circle of wealth. The only thing the rich need from you is to be poor and obedient, so that your labour can be cheap, plentiful and replaceable.
Statistically as a Nigerian, you will NEVER be rich or close to it. You will NEVER live in Maitama. 99.99% of Nigerians who have existed since 1960 have prayed and fantasised about becoming rich, and 99.99% of those prayers and fantasies never came true. That's just math. You will never be a rich and famous celebrity. You will never be a successful content creator. You will never make millions shilling crypto, trading Forex, sports betting, or whatever the fuck is the latest quick wealth fantasy in town. It's just not going to happen.
That being the case, a much more constructive use of your time would be to fight for the material elevation of what you actually have, where you actually have it. Instead of daydreaming about the N300m house in Lekki that 3 generations of your family cannot buy, get involved in a local effort to give your own immediate neighbourhood a facelift, or a political campaign to pressure the state to build high quality social housing.
If you hate being harassed without consequence online, instead of vicariously enjoying how a celebrity has used their wealth and influence to jail someone for making a horrid tweet, fight for a judiciary and legal system that is transparent and accessible to all, so that a singer living in the UK on a global talent visa doesn't get to have more access to your Nigerian justice system than you who lives in Nigeria 24/7.
Instead of building your mental architecture around the false idea of being a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" who will someday take your rightful place on Banana Island, touch grass tonight and accept that it will never happen, and what you need to do instead is fight for where you are to become a better, more liveable place that you no longer wish to escape from. Stop cosplaying as rich folk. Stop cooing and fawning over rich folk. Stop daydreaming about someday "blowing up" and buying a house next to Burna Boy. Rich people have no intention of sharing their world with you. Free yourself from the tyranny of living vicariously through people who don't care that you exist.
Them no really send any part of your papa at all.
Imagine you are a Muslim and a child asks you: Why do we pray Dhuhr and Asr silently while we recite aloud in Maghrib and Isha
(And you don't know the answer)
WHAT DID BUHARI’S GOVERNMENT DO FOR THE NORTH?
1.Since farmers are more numerous in Northern Nigeria, President Buhari closed the borders so that farmers could have a ready market for their produce at profitable prices, enabling them to recover the money they spent on fertilizer, seeds, and other farming inputs.
2.What happened? Traders immediately entered the agricultural sector as middlemen. Even before harvest time, merchants would approach farmers and offer to buy their produce in advance. After purchasing it, they stored the goods in warehouses and silos, waiting until supply became scarce in the market before reselling at higher prices. The biggest buyers of farm produce were food-processing companies.
3.Since the borders were closed, the only source of agricultural produce was Nigerian farmers. But Nigerian farmers were not producing enough to meet demand, and many had already sold their produce to wealthy middlemen who stored it away. As a result, the small quantity farmers brought directly to the market became expensive, allowing middlemen to release stored goods later and make large profits.
4.Buhari was then advised that farmers did not only need border closure; they also needed financial support so they could scale up production. The idea was that if production increased significantly, the negative effects of border closure would not be so severe.
5.The government quickly introduced loan programs for farmers. Billions of naira were distributed to anyone claiming to be a farmer. People rushed to collect the money. Many even believed the government was joking when it called the money a “loan,” assuming it was basically free money. Some used lands that did not belong to them as collateral, while others bought farmland only to secure huge loans without seriously farming. In many cases, what they actually invested into farming was less than 10% of the amount they received.
https://t.co/MDnKT0DX20 summary, Buhari tried to improve the North through border closure and agricultural loans. In economics, everyone knows that if you want someone to succeed in business, you cannot do much more than what Buhari did for Nigerian farmers: he provided them with capital and also guaranteed them customers by blocking foreign competition.
7.What Buhari did for Northern farmers was similar to what the government once did for Alhaji Aliko Dangote in the cement industry and other sectors giving him room to operate while restricting imports so that local producers would dominate the market.
8.The difference between Aliko Dangote and Northern farmers, however, was that the farmers did not fully utilize the opportunity. Middlemen ended up taking most of the benefits that Buhari intended for farmers.
9.Those who profited most from the border closure were not the farmers themselves but the middlemen. That is why, once the borders were reopened, many middlemen abandoned the agricultural trade and moved into other sectors, because they were essentially opportunistic traders.
https://t.co/II9p5VOaYM, meanwhile, were left struggling. In 2025, if you cultivate one hectare of maize, selling the entire harvest may not even generate enough money to finance planting that same hectare again. Farming has become extremely difficult.
11.The people who benefited most from Buhari’s agricultural loans were not genuine farmers. That is why many farmers did not significantly increase the scale of their production from Buhari’s era up to now.
12.The loans were intended to help farmers scale up production. For example, if Nigerian farmers collectively cultivated one million hectares before, the Buhari administration hoped that after injecting billions of naira into the sector, production might expand to ten million hectares or something close to that.
If you’re a Muslim and this appears on your timeline, kindly retweet it so it can reach those who may not have completed their ṣalāh today. May this act serve as a reminder and stand as a witness for us on the Day of Qiyaamah.
Something needs to be done wallahi this is getting out of hand @MTNNG.
On December 22, 2025, I paid ₦125,000 for 800GB that was advertised to last up to 12 months, yet it barely stretched to 4 months despite the fact that I don’t stream movies or use heavy data.
Now on April 18, I subscribed again, and in LESS THAN ONE MONTH, my balance has already dropped to 650GB. How is that even possible with the same usage pattern?
This is not just frustrating it feels like outright exploitation. Customers deserve transparency, not silent data depletion.
@NCCNigeria , this needs urgent investigation. Nigerians should not be paying this much only to watch their data vanish without explanation. Enough is enough.
If you are planning to marry a woman, stop asking childish questions like:
“What’s your favorite color?”
“What’s your favorite food?”
“Who is your celebrity crush?”
Those questions won’t help you know her.
Ask her THESE instead- and you will know who she really is......
The story of Abdul Samad raises painful questions that cannot be ignored.
How does a young, hardworking corps member—someone serving his country with hope for the future—end up dead in his own room at 2 a.m.? What exactly happened that night? If this was truly a “mistake,” how did such a tragic error occur? What do neighbors or those nearby say they saw or heard?
These are not just questions of curiosity—they are questions of accountability. Because behind every explanation must come responsibility. A life was lost. A family has been shattered. A mother now carries a grief no parent should ever endure.
Justice must not be reduced to a statement. It must be seen, felt, and proven. Anything less only deepens the pain and erodes trust.
As we seek answers, we also bow our heads in prayer.
May Allah forgive Abdul Samad, have mercy on his soul, and grant him Jannatul Firdaus. May Allah comfort his mother and loved ones, ease their pain, and grant them the strength to endure this unimaginable loss. Ameen.
Somebody should check Professor Isa Ali Pantami’s page to understand what it truly means to use one’s position to help others.
He served as the former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy under the late President Muhammadu Buhari.
There are seven agencies under that ministry—do the math and imagine how many people from his state got opportunities to be employed in those agencies.
He must have supported many of these individuals—either through employment or contracts—while he was in office.
Today, he is reaping the benefits.
One of the donors even gave ₦4 million with the remark, “I can’t repay you sir.”
Can your leaders confidently ask for donations to purchase nomination forms? I mean those local champions some of you hold in high regard as leaders.

Just a reminder that fuel price didn't for one second drop across Nigeria after the ceasefire; But it was very fast to increase when the war started, and really didn't affect Nigeria.
I used to think Istighfar alone would fix my finances. I prayed. I made duʿā. I stayed consistent. And yet… rizq still felt tight.
Until I learned how the Prophet ﷺ actually recited istighfar.
