One of the biggest mistakes a man can make is knowingly pursuing another man’s wife.
Even if her husband never finds out, you will still answer to Allah for your actions. And ask yourself this: would you want another man chasing your own wife?
Leave married women alone.
You can hate on the government of the day, hate on the administration, but trying to downplay, discredit, or hate on the men and the institution that embodies our sovereignty is nothing but self-sabotage.
@3Star_GOD You and other #Sentinels inspire me to keep going even and especially when the terrain is rough. I love my Country, I always will; and I will continue to Serve God Almighty and my beloved Nigeria until my last breath. In Sha Allah. #Sentinel For God and Country. Always!
