@mallamtgrand@DavidHundeyin You should have added a Hausa name because she will definitely speak Hausa before she gets to know that Swahili is a language.
A Life that Preached Our Shared Humanity
I learned of the death of Imam Abubakar Abdullahi, a man whose life exemplified our shared humanity. Nigeria honors a soul who rose above hatred and division by opening his home and mosque to save lives in times of need. He reminded us that the truest expression of faith is the protection of human dignity.
While many may choose to mourn Abubakar, I believe it is more fitting to celebrate him. He transformed his life into a powerful lesson, showing us that we are strongest when we recognize one another first as human beings, regardless of religion or tribe. His legacy urges Nigeria to embrace love, unity, and peaceful coexistence.
We honor this great soul because he understood that true leadership is not found in the exercise of power but in the exercise of mercy. At a time when the shadows of division loomed large due to the abuse of our faith, he stood as a beacon of light, reminding us that the core of Islam is peace and the protection of the vulnerable.
May Allah grant us the vision to create the new Nigeria of our dreams, where leadership is based on competence, capacity, and compassion. May his soul find eternal peace in the Gardens of Jannah, and may we carry forward the torch of radical compassion. -PO
You live in Nigeria and have never travelled abroad, yet you swear that Nigeria is bad and constantly de-market her online. Meanwhile, an American rapper visits Nigeria for the first time, and is so overwhelmed with the development and lifestyle of Nigeria, that in an epiphanic burst, he declares that life in Nigeria is preferable to him than existence in many parts of the United States.
Now, who should the world believe, between you, with mono-vision, and DDG, with dual vision?
DDG is not alone. Chris Brown was in Nigeria and was so wowed by the experience that he expressed strong affection for Nigeria. Ciara was here last October and loved Nigeria so much that she took a Nigerian name and expressed surprise at how safe she felt there. Mark Zuckerberg, the 6th richest man on Earth, jogged in Nigeria without security. 50 Cent expressed love for our culture, while Kanye West described Nigerians as having some of the best work ethics.
Not everyone is like you, or that female rapper who has never visited Nigeria, yet believes protecting Christians in Nigeria is about music that glorifies soft porn and promotes premarital sex!
Nigeria is a great country, and will be an even greater country with patriotic citizens, who market her to the world!

In a world that grows numb to cruelty, be like Ahmed al-Ahmed, who ran toward danger to protect life.
That is Islam.
We mourn the victims of today’s attack in Australia and pray for safety and sanity everywhere.
May those who murder while cloaked in power or false righteousness leave no legacy worth repeating.
Abuja gives me more reasons why I cant easily like a Nigerian
- Why are you living in a 100-200 million Naira House
- You drive all V8 engines
- Your kids go to schools paying over 1 million Naira a term
But you're paying your gateman 30k Naira a month.
Satan is your name
And this gateman washes your car, cleans the compound, trims the flowers, manages the gen house, goes on errands for you and your family while sleeping there waiting to confront an intruder every night
Meanwhile it's 30k Naira in this economy you choose to pay?

About 40 years ago, an elderly man came to the Masjid before Ṣalāh and told the Imām, “If I ever miss two consecutive prayers in the Masjid, know that I have passed away in my home.”
The Imām was shocked, so the man explained that he had no children, and his wife had already passed away. From that day onward, he never missed a single prayer in the Masjid for decades.
In July 2019, he passed away during Jumu’ah prayer, right there in the Masjid, and the entire congregation witnessed his final moments.
SubḥānAllah—Allah honours His sincere servants in ways beyond imagination. To die in the place you loved the most, during the best day of the week, while performing one of the greatest acts of worship… wallahi this is a sign of a righteous ending.
May Allah grant us such steadfastness, and may He bless us with a beautiful ending while our hearts are attached to His house. Aameen.
The common denominator in all these examples is clear: jungle justice. It is neither northern nor southern; it is a Nigerian problem. This selective outrage is not only hypocritical; it is dangerous. If we genuinely want a better country, we must condemn evil wherever it arises, not just when it suits our regional ego.
Jungle justice thrives on emotion, ignorance, and collective cowardice. It destroys trust, erodes justice, and turns ordinary people into executioners. Until we confront this truth honestly, without hypocrisy or selective morality, we will continue to dance in circles, pretending that one part of Nigeria is holier than the other.
The reality is that jungle justice thrives everywhere in Nigeria for the same reason: people no longer trust the justice system to protect them or punish offenders. And as the saying goes, once you allow the mob to decide who lives or dies, no one
is safe, not even the mob!

JUNGLE JUSTICE: THE HYPOCRISY OF THE SOUTHERN NIGERIANS!
By Salihu Tanko Yakasai.
Everywhere you look in this country, you can see rot in the system. The complicity of those who should know better is evident, and the vices that have become normalized persist across different parts of Nigeria. From chronic underdevelopment in all six geopolitical zones, including the oil producing states and the so-called economic hubs, to the regions that pride themselves on their religiosity, there’s no shortage of poor leadership.
However, one thing I find both amusing and troubling is how quickly the South amplifies the problems of the North, often presenting them as unique or exclusive to us, totally oblivious to theirs.
For clarity, I am not excusing the North. I have addressed our issues many times, particularly regarding insecurity. In fact, some readers may recall that I was arrested by the DSS in 2021 during the administration of late President Buhari after I criticized the handling of the Tegina schoolgirls’ abduction. I have also written openly about the failures of northern leaders, including my 2012 article, "19 Northern Governors: The Certified Parasites." I have consistently urged young
northerners to build capacity and equip themselves to add value to Arewa and the country as a whole. Yes, we have been vocal in our criticisms and have held our leaders accountable.
What I rarely see happen, is that same objectivity from many in the South. Whenever something occurs in the North, they swiftly condemn all northerners collectively, presenting it as if the entire region is guilty or that such acts are widespread and culturally accepted.
Take jungle justice as an example. The killing of Deborah in Sokoto is often cited as a favorite reference point by Nigerians from the South. For the record, my position has always been clear: Deborah should have been handed over to the authorities if she committed any crime. No one has the right to pass judgment outside the law. Her killing was jungle justice, plain and simple. Does that mean blasphemy is condoned? Absolutely not. But it should be the courts, not a mob, that decides.
However, here’s the hypocrisy: that same jungle justice is also widespread in the South. Burning people alive with tires, stoning them, or using cutlass to unailve them is rampant all over the South.
Many high-profile killings of northerners have occurred there in recent years. Harira Jubril and her four daughters were murdered in Anambra in 2022 by suspected ESN operatives. Sixteen northerners were lynched and burned in Uromi, Edo State, in 2025. The violence at Sasa market in Ibadan in 2021 left many Hausa residents dead and displaced. In the same year, armed separatists shot dead northern traders in Orlu and Umuaka, Imo State. These are not rumors; these are facts.
Yet, somehow, these incidents are downplayed or ignored. When you mention them, some people respond by saying Deborah was killed “in the name of Islam,” as if that magically makes the killing of northerners acceptable merely because it
wasn’t done “in the name of Christianity,” even though the perpetrators were Christians.
Even in the Southwest, where many present themselves as morally superior, the jungle justice carried out by the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) is conveniently forgotten. OPC began as a rights group but quickly morphed into a vigilante outfit linked to violent clashes across Lagos in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Human Rights Watch documented killings ranging from beheadings, torture, arson, and ethnic attacks in areas such as Ketu, Mile 12, Ajegunle, Idi-Araba, Ojo, and Isolo. Northern traders, civilians, and even police
officers were victims, with official estimates of the death toll nearing 500. Yet this history rarely makes its way into their moral lectures. Curiously, their memory seems to begin and end with Deborah or similar acts in the North.

We love and stand with our beloved Sheitkh Gumi, even though I don't support negotiation with Bandits, but I believe Sheikh Gumi is only looking for a lasting peace for our country.
We will not stand by and watch while some baby factory products are insulting ou father.
Learn to see the best in people. No matter how much you disagree, try to find common ground. Spread peace. Quit fighting and bickering. Build bridges. Don’t hate. Don’t look down on anyone. Life’s too short to be doing otherwise.
