I once witnessed how one of them froze to death from December cold in Bauchi 2009. If you have been to Bauchi, you will know how very cold Dec usually is

I had gone to Ilorin park then to get the package my parents sent for me, the driver had called around 9pm the previous day that I had a package. I told him it was too late and I couldn't come pick it, he told me to come very early in the morning then because he would be on his way out as early as possible.

I left my school around 6:10am and got to the park to see these boys lying all over the place, just as I was waiting for the driver, the shop owner came and used his legs to kick the sleeping boys, all of them scrambled up, except for 1. Next thing I heard was "Ya mutu( He is dead)"

That was my very first encounter with death but what shocked me was the reactions of his fellow almajiris. The way they said it so casually, no emotion what-so-ever and how quickly they picked their plates and crossed to road to start their day as usual.

I don't even know what later happened, just that a few grown ups arrived like an hour later to pick up the body

The fact that those boys are raised in the harshest condition is why they turn out to be cold and dangerous. Fearless and emotionless.

First Lady’s Akara remarks trended more than dozens of Borno & Oyo children sleeping in the bush with terrorists.
Nigerians have been defeated.

Someone passed away but there are more tweets about taking down her social media accounts to hide her posts than duas for Allah to have mercy on her. A lesson to all of us alive.

My Dear Sisters/Ladies.
I sincerely hope you are wide awake, Are you reading the room?

Have your standards , work on your financial life so deliberately, The balance is skewed against you.

Don't end up in Penury because you are being shamed, either broke , divorce or age shamed. Be clear about who you will settle down with

Go through their social media pages, out of the abundance of the heart do the mouth speaketh.

The pain of regret is worse than anything you are reading currently. Emotional torture of marriage and birthing with an irresponsible Man is worse. At least having your own money will cushion the effects for you.

Please learn , adjust or Perish. Our society especially the current crop of MT Men is brutal , The majority of them have similar ideologies only few exceptions,

May the Lord help you and my daughters all the way. Don't lose guard please.

Stay sane, stay informed, stay guided and be absolutely confident in your ability to ditch and and say No to Nonsense from anyone of them

Learn or Perish

[No filter Skin @NoFilterSkin]

Your daughter just got her first period.
Do not tell her she is a woman now.
Tell her what estrogen does.
Tell her what progesterone does.
Tell her her cycle has four phases and each one will feel different.
Give her information. Not a new identity.

[Mayowa Sheikhspeare @CoveredInWords]

Allah does not like mediocrity. Let's look at an interesting case study. Sulaiman (AS) had a moment of human slip.

He turned to Allah with a very ambitious du'a:

"My Lord, forgive me. And grant me a kingdom that will not belong to anyone after me."

[Jannatān🇯🇵🫧 @FirdaousIsiaq]

The purpose of keeping your virginity till marriage has lost its meaning.

You’re to keep your virginity because “GOD” asked you to, because it is a “SIN” to sleep around with men who aren’t your spouse.

Not because “you want to give it to your husband as a grand prize” in return for better treatment.

Virginity is an act of obedience, not a transactional gift.

I've been a way from twitter (X) for a long time.
I was thinking how much I loved this app to the point where I had to take intentional breaks from it leading to weeks or more.

Then I wondered why I would ever abandon the it and decided to log back in.

[Arewa Roots @muneerah_bashir]

May Allah destroy the oppressors
He is ever knowing and the best disposer of affairs.
He alone can deliver true justice.
And no one can save the oppressors from Allah's anger

with no medical care
No food
No water
No shelter
In the rain
In the sun
Running every single day looking for safety.

Israel is indeed evil.
The brutality is a sore to the eyesAnd the leaders that support and stand by watch what is happening will get what is coming to them.

[Muhammad Mazen @mhmd_s09]

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

The amount of explosives that Israel dropped on the Gaza Strip exceeded the power of the two atomic bombs that the United States dropped on Japan at the end of World War II.

A video that the world must never forget.

[Latifat @Latifat_writes]

For those who care to listen, religion is a free will and a personal pilgrimage of the heart. Whoever forces any religious activities on you should be held accountable and not the religion being forced on you.

I'm a muslim. Born and raised in a muslim home. I read the Qur'an everyday and try to live life the way it should be lived.

I remembered back then when I used to think Islam was a bùrden because of the type of people I grew up with. I remembered how I used to feel threatened and insecure just because my Mualim(learned muslim scholar) used a hàrsh method of teaching on us. I remember how I wanted to move around with no rules and guidance concerning what's wrong and what's right. I remembered everything. But do you know what changed? I changed the environment. Opportunity to migrate came, and I embraced it like my life depended on it.

I met new people. I was received with warmth and care by another set of Muslims. They made me see Islam with a new lens. The religion I once called bùrden became something I was enthusiastic to learn about. The people there made me see every reason to embark on this pilgrimage of truth.

No one forced me even when I refused to pray the 5 solats. No one mocked me when I moved around with no hijab. No one làshed me for not being able to memorize the Qur'an. My personal journey made me stay and submit willingly to the will of GOD (fleshed as islam).

Accept this or not, the message (islam) is clear and sound. The receiving end(people) are the ones twisting it. Research shows that the real practicing Muslims who live by what the religion preaches(peace) are more than the tòxic ones who made their way to headlines. Do you know why? Cruelty gets more 'clicks' than compassion."

Remember,

Religion is the problem ❌️
We are the problem ✅️

Peace!

⚡️ SON DAKİKA | HAN YUNUS’TA YENİ KATLİAM

İşgalci siyonist İsrail, Gazze Şeridi’nin güneyinde, Han Yunus’un doğusunda yerinden edilmiş aileleri hedef aldı.

İlk bilgilere göre saldırıda 15 Filistinli şehit oldu.

Çadırları, evleri, yolları, hastaneleri, çocukların uykusunu ve annelerin duasını hedef alan bu vahşet; artık savaş değil, dünyanın gözü önünde sürdürülen açık bir insanlık suçudur.

Gazze yalnız bırakıldıkça katliam büyüyor.
Suskunluk, bombaların gölgesinde tarafsızlık değil; zulme verilmiş sessiz bir onaydır.

Gazze için konuş.
Han Yunus için ses ver.
Katliama sessiz kalma.

My God.

The carnage never ends.

Israel is evil. They must be stopped. They will never stop this on their own.

[Jehad Abusalim @JehadAbusalim]

Anwar, a child from Gaza, wrote this letter to his amputated leg:

"A letter to my dear leg,

Today, with you in front of me, I wanted to tell you: I was sad, and I felt weak and ashamed when I lost you, because something in me was missing and I felt I was less than other people and would never do anything again. But today I have become a strong person, and I feel confident every time I look at you. I went out and sold things, I made friends, and I started walking long distances. I do things that people with two legs cannot do.

I love you so much."

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

1,000 days since the genocide in Gaza began.

1,000 days of the open slaughter of innocent civilians, and the death of the decency of the so called civilized world.

[Based Meth Enjoyer @methadvocate]

One more thing. Today is a mournful day for me.

12 years ago, my cousin, Mohammed Abu-Khdier, was kidnapped from his home in East Jerusalem by three Jewish settlers. He was beaten with tire irons, doused in gasoline, forced to drink gasoline, and then burnt alive.

I’ll never forget his death, I remember the night when his body was discovered, Mohammad’s mother called my mother. We were both in the living room, and I could hear the poor woman shrieking and crying in grief from across the room.

What is worse, is not just the murder, but the humiliations that the Jews brought to the family: within a week, Israel police had ‘leaked rumors’ to Israeli media that Mohammad was actually killed by his own family members for supposedly being a homosexual. Both claims being obviously untrue, and were very humiliating to his family.

Then, during his funeral, IDF detained another one of his relatives, Tariq, an American citizen from Florida. They dragged him into an alley and stomped this poor 15 year old kid unconscious. We know about this because there is recorded video of them doing it, and Tariq was even interviewed by George Stephanopolous.

I will never forget, I will never forgive. I wrote an article about his death on my substack two years ago, I hope you’ll read it, it’ll be below.

May God have mercy on your soul, Mohammed.
