@AkwaIbomMuslim And who said you can't touch the Qur'an without wudu?
That position is wrong as a women menstruating can also pick the Qur'an to read.

Amongst the women Allah mentioned in the Qurān (expressly and impliedly):
Maryam
Imrān's wife (Maryam's mother)
Fir'awn's wife
Nooh's wife
Loot's wife

The former four are women of honour and the latter two are from the worst of women to ever walked the earth.

The household of 'Imrān was a righteous one so much Allah revealed an entire surah about the household the household which produced Jesus.

When Allah talks about marriage in the Qurān, he specifies for believing men to marry their female counterparts, the chaste amongst them, not those who take boyfriends.
Allah says:
ولا متخذات أخدان
وفي آية: ولا متخذي أخدان

Not those who take boyfriends.

When Allah describes His servants who tread softly on earth, of the things He says about them is:
ولا يزنون
And they do not commit adultery and fornication. — Alfurqān, 68

In another verse, Allah prohibits going near zinā.

In two verses of the Qurān, Allah refers to Maryam as: the one who guarded her chastity.
In another, her refers to her as Assideeqah. A level of righteousness next to Prophethood.

والدليل قوله: :
وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَٰئِكَ رَفِيقًا

In all of these, I struggle to understand under which circumstance this trend could be appropriate.
It is tantamount to making a mockery of the Qurān, knowingly clearly 'dating' is prohibited. A 'simple' trend capable of nullifying a person's Islam. Iyaadhan billaah.

I saw someone already wishing he would date Mary the mother of Jesus. Ma'ādhallaah.

What is this fee sabeelillaah.

I didn’t start in a top tier firm, never worked in one, had no back up family fund, no fall back funds and no trust fund. Was the daughter of a public primary school teacher who spent afterschool in Isheri frying Garri, fetching water and watching our mum use our unpainted wall as blackboard for our school work revision.

While I’m still on my breakthrough journey, here are few things I’ve learnt so far:

1. Use your early years for learning. Yes, you may or may not be well paid but ensure you are learning. In my early years, If I’m not getting it from the firm, I ensured I was getting it from the news, law reports and friends in more active practice than I was.

2. Keep showing up: Some days will be good, some days, tough and other days outrightly bad. One thing you can’t stop doing however is showing up.

3. Never be comfortable doing nothing. Take on more tasks, more work and ensure you challenge yourself always. In my early years, I recall walking to my supervisor to ask for work once I see that I had nothing to do. I didn’t dress up, leave Iyana Ipaja for Lekki at 5am just to come do nothing.

4. Seek value adding opportunities. This is life. Where you arrived with a wobbly wooden ladder, someone else got there by an elevator. Don’t despise your wobbly ladder. Appreciate that it’s helping you move ahead in a place where some are still on the ground. Do not, however, be filled with unnecessary admiration of your wobbly ladder, focus on how you can make it better, how you can get an iron ladder, how you can build a staircase, how you can own your own elevator and finally how you can fly, outpacing even the elevator.

The goal is to keep moving.

5. Imagination and innovation should be your companion. Books, movies and the internet has helped us a lot in promoting equal access and opportunities. Take full advantage of this. Keep the vision of where you want to be in mind at all times. Make sure everything you do is taking you a step closer to where you want to be. It’s okay if outsiders do not understand you and how you are moving. You alone know your goal, your map and your journey. Every single time you look at your vision, ensure you improve on it. Do it better.

Also, that you have not worked in a top tier firm does not mean that you cannot admire them from afar, watch what they are doing, listen to the interviews of their visioneers, and aim to build something similar if not better than what they have built.

6. Whether one naira or one million naira in fees, so long as your name will be on it, ensure excellence. What this means is that you must maintain a general standard of excellence and never be one to have adjustable level excellence based on fees paid per client. Be clear in your expressions, sound in your reasoning and knowledgeable in the advisory you offer clients.

Again, as I am still on this journey myself, I hope to continue to learn more and share as I encounter them. 🙏🏽

C.C.B. (Nig.) Ltd. v. Odogwu (1990) 3 NWLR (Pt. 140) 646

What plaintiff must prove in action for malicious prosecution -

In an action for malicious prosecution, the plaintiff must prove the following:

(a)
that he was prosecuted by the defendant. In this regard, it must be shown clearly that the defendant set in motion against the plaintiff the law leading to a criminal charge.

(b)
that as a result of the prosecution aforementioned the plaintiff was tried by a court of competent jurisdiction, discharged and acquitted; in short that the prosecution was determined in the plaintiffs favour.

(c)
that the prosecution of the defendant was completely without reasonable and probable cause.

(d)
that the prosecution was as a result of malice by the defendant against the plaintiff.

All the four elements above must be present for successful action for malicious prosecution, and the onus is always on the plaintiff to prove each and every one of them.

FYI……

Consultation fee: fee paid to speak with a lawyer and get legal opinion/advice.

Appearance fee: fee paid to have a lawyer show up in court for you.

Retainership: fee paid to a lawyer so he can always be on stand by for you. Once you pay this, you can call that lawyer in the night and he'd show up for you. (It's this fee that can make you say boldly "I HAVE A LAWYER"

Don't mix them up

To impress a woman as a lawyer:

Conduct due diligence.
Draft and plead your feelings in clear terms.
Tender uncontroverted evidence that you’re a good man.
Be prepared for costs to be awarded against you; the ultimate aim is getting the final judgment in your favour.
