Day 88. 42 children have been missing for 88 days. Some are toddlers who should be playing at home, not growing up in terrorist captivity. Their parents are counting days while those responsible for their safety carry on with business as usual. This is a disgrace.
Gaskia in har SLS zai koma lvl 1,retirees and elderly civil servants going for MSc etc,no reason aji kunyar komawa islamiyya cikin teenagers tunda dai su dinne a lvl 1 ko a koma ajin manya yan earlier 20’s.

That engr rano tweet is a wake up call.
Everywhere is silent while bandits massacre 23 farmers in Sauna/Ruwan Gora community, Talata Mafara Local Government Area of Zamfara State. More than 50 people have been hospitalized, the majority of them women and children.
This attack happened in a village near the hometown of Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle. The Northwest is gradually becoming a graveyard, yet the suffering of its people continues to receive little attention.
Sarki, I met my wife when she was just a medical student with nothing but big dreams and an unwavering determination to become a doctor.
I stayed by her side through the sleepless nights, endless exams, clinical postings, house job, and NYSC.
We got married while she was a Medical officer, and today she’s a Junior resident in Internal Medicine, working tirelessly toward becoming a senior resident next year inshallah.
Before we got married, people warned me.
“Don’t marry a doctor.”
“She’ll never have time for you.”
“You’ll be lonely.”
“Your children will be raised by housemaids.”
“Her career will always come before her family.”
Wallahi, every single one of those predictions has been proven wrong.
Since the day we got married, I have never felt neglected not for one day.
I have never had to compete with her career for her love.
Despite the exhausting calls, emergency shifts, sleepless nights, and the emotional weight that comes with saving lives, she still comes home and gives her best to us.
She is an amazing doctor to her patients, an incredible mother to our daughter, and the most loving wife I could ever ask for.
She makes our house feel like a home. She never makes me feel like I’m carrying this marriage alone, I’ve always encouraged her to fly higher.
The problem has never been working women. The problem is most people assuming that every successful working woman will neglect her home.
My wife is living proof that a woman can wear a white coat all day, save lives, chase her dreams, and still come home to love her husband and children with her whole heart.
If I had to choose a wife a thousand times over, I would still choose her every single time.
1. Divorce isn’t a “harm that needs justification” either by the same logic. Firstly, perception of “harm” is subjective, depending on the real contexts & POV. Although both polygyny and divorce are permissible in their basis (asl), the hukm for BOTH can change from that to both impermissibility and obligation, depending on several factors, in terms of effect (which is a product of how they are used rather than their inherent essence), both can also absolutely yield observable harmful outcomes. Ultimately, the fact that Allaah has made them permissible is the clearest evidence that they aren’t essentially harm in and of themselves. No need galaxy braining it. End of.
2. The oft-repeated “permissible but hated by Allaah” is not rooted in ANY authentic evidence. Divorce is a legislated tool to handle real-life situations that call for it.
3. Characterizing “divorce” as a mere reaction, rather than a legislation of Allaah that he has provided for his servants who want out of an arrangement they can’t endure anymore isn’t just a disingenuous, meaningless argument, it’s the REAL anti-sharī’ah position here as it seems to undermine the legislative aspect of it. No one says divorce is encouraged (it can be, but not aslan, exactly just like polygyny in that regard) or says that women should therefore push for it whenever their husband takes another wife. Its original permissible status as a legitimate option, free from poisoning-the-well rhetorics, is what we seek to preserve.
4. There’s no basis to dismiss anyone’s pain, no matter how much you think capacity cushions it (no basis for this either btw, it’s just a legislated requirement) and characterize any decision they make thereby as a “punishment”. Again, this is narrative peddling and not a rational, fact-based argument. It won’t solve any real problems & intelligent people can see through it. It would only attract more vim towards whatever one is trying to protect. The hypocrisy gets louder when a man’s polygyny decision is dressed in innocent and glorious narratives like “exercising his right” and “being a sabab for Khayr for a fellow woman”. Playing the devil’s advocate, a woman can also easily argue it’s a proof of her inadequacy, and a punishment for the said inadequacy, and that she’s not required to endure its pain to help someone else. There’s no shar’i principle that preaches going through pain to relieve someone else’s. That’s the kind of slippery slope this kind of logic and narrative based arguments lead to.
5. Saying the pains and the inability to hear polygyny (and the consequent fear of not being able to fulfill rights) are not valid shar’i grounds for divorce—in your own very interesting words—is the only real sharī’ah-illiterate thing to say here when we have the sunnah showing a far lesser reason, like in the khul’ of the wife of Thābit Ibn Qays. Marital dissolution isn’t only confined to abuse or injustice contexts. Your write up ultimately functions as an attempt to preserve the status quo by rhetorically narrowing a legislation whose scope the sunnah itself does not narrow. An attempt to dodge accountability for a basic rule of life—that actions, including the seemingly good (POV & bias dependent) & “definitely-and-altruistically-for-extra women-to-have husbands (lol)” choice of polygyny, have consequences. It’s not very manly to dodge accountability, esp via devious, gaslighting, “sharī’ah-illiterate” and narrative-peddling route now, is it?
6. Not every position you don’t agree with it is “muh creeping feminism” and adding disingenuous characterizations like “indiscriminate” is not fair either.
When women say the “Islam has given women rights” slogan isn’t enough, this is another proof of what they mean. Desperate, illogical and “sharī’ah-illiterate” attempts to take those rights away, using all sorts of narrative-peddling and biased characterization tactics. These are the issues, and we have to be honest with ourselves and one another. Na’am.
Good morning good people! I just want to remind you that Nusaiba gave St. Lious secondary school her healthy child but gave her a dead body after allowing the child to be killed in their care. #shutdownstlioussecondaryschool#justicefornihal
Another morning to remind you all that Nusaiba sent her daughter to St. Lious secondary school to get quality education but instead they returned a dead child to her and instead of given true accounts of what lead to her being killed they’ve lawyered up.
Ibn al-Jāwzī رحمه الله said:
“Whoever sets his tongue free to slander and speak ill about the honour of the Muslims, and seeks their faults, Allāh will hold back his tongue from professing the Shahādah (at the time of death).”
[Baḥr ad-Dumūʿ 1/124]
All the students who came forward as eye witness have been expelled. Over twenty of them. Other parents are keeping quiet. It’s Nihal today it can be your child tomorrow.
I’ve discovered one of the biggest challenges facing environmental initiatives in Nigeria is waste management.
The reality is that tree planting alone is not enough.
As long as we ignore waste disposal, pollution, and the growing problem of plastic waste and microplastics, we will continue to face major obstacles in our efforts to restore the environment.
Let’s not forget how the Nigerian govt under the leadership of Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrested, starved and charged tens of Minors to court for daring to protest for better life.
AND LIED ABOUT IT!
