I think we should also learn to allow people live with tje consequences of their actions. If we keep trying to save everyone, more people will habe the notion that they'll get saved wjen they choose badly
I want to appeal to everyone regarding this young lady’s situation. I don’t know her personally, but I genuinely feel for her. You can judge her or criticize her if you want, but I don’s think that’s what she needs at this point.
I know people on Twitter advised her years ago to go back home, listen to her parents, and live responsibly, but she refused. Instead, she responded with abuse and insults before eventually leaving Twitter because of the backlash.
That notwithstanding, if you know anyone who can genuinely help her, please encourage them to reach out to her. This young lady needs serious help and rehabilitation at this point. This is not the time for insults or mockery. She is obviously going through significant mental health challenges and needs professional support.
I sincerely wish her healing and all the very best in her endeavors.
🙏❤️
Many Christians are confused about the origin of Islam, prophet Muhammad is not the first Muslim on earth, he didn't invent it. He is the last prophet of Islam. Islam didn't start in 7th century.
The US military presence in Nigeria has positively decapitated and crushed a significant number of terrorists cells and their commanders in Northern Nigeria.Their targeted operations in conjunction with our forces have achieved appreciable success.However,to say that they have all been annihilated is an exaggeration.A lot of work needs to be done.
@Eneegmanuelllll You can see that he removed the first class from his id...he fell into to "olodo uprising category" thats why he doesn't know what value is.
Allah told the Prophet ﷺ to challenge the christians; saying both parties should come with their families & invoke Allah's curse upon the liars.
If Muhammad ﷺ was a liar & not sincere, why would he issue this challenge in which he'd ask for Allah to curse him & his family?!
We need to stop this nonsense that Arewa is not telling itself the truth.
This lady made a video saying a lot of things and that we are angry because it is true: angry, illiterate, poor, the poorest, poverty capital of the world, poorest people in the world. Even that claim is not true. But I am not interested in playing poverty Olympics. I am not interested in pointing fingers.
I am tired.
Everyone has problems. Anybody still saying nobody is telling Arewa the truth is gaslighting at this point. Arewa is one of the most overdiagnosed regions in the whole world. Everybody, every dick and Harry knows the problems of Arewa. Every single day, people talk about it.
In fact, most of these big social-media channels in Nigeria made their names criticising Arewa. They make their names by hating on Arewa, pointing to the defects of Arewa, punching down on Arewa. With all due respect to VeryDarkMan, Tunde Ednut, Solomon Buchi, Instablog Naija, Naija PR, Davido, and all these commentators: we do not need more of your criticism. You can shut the fuck up.
Because this notion that Arewa needs to “tell itself the truth” is becoming lazy. Most of the people saying it are just ranting to feel good about themselves. There is this mentality: the more I criticise them, the more I call them out, the more I distance myself from them. The more I call out Arewa, the more I am not part of the problem. The more I show disgust, the more I get to feel like one of the enlightened people.
But criticism is not foreign aid. Ranting is not development.
People project criticism as if it is what Arewa needs to grow. No. That is not what we need.
Nobody cares about Almajirai more than those of us who actually feel the pain of seeing children on the street begging. Nobody sees the women with face masks in Abuja, lying that they came out and do not have transport, and does not feel anger. Most of them are housewives. Nobody sees people chasing cars just for takeaway food and does not feel ashamed. I hate those things with passion.
But coming online to rant about it, then putting down your phone and feeling good about yourself, is not what we need. A southerner saying, “At least we are doing better than the North,” to feel good about themselves, is not what we need.
What do we need?
Sensitisation. Organisation. Action. People going into villages to talk about education. People forming groups. People protesting agaisnt insecurity. People building systems. People confronting the stigma around education. People refusing to let backwardness become permanently entrenched in our culture.
Because it was not always like this.
Before colonialism, Arewa people were proud people. We had our culture. We had systems of government. We had our way of writing. We had everything. We were not born to be a people permanently associated with begging, illiteracy, poverty and low-status labour.
Frantz Fanon understood what colonialism does to a people. It leaves deep inferiority complexes behind. Even after colonialism leaves, it remains in the mind. Our standard of what is professional, smart, intelligent, civilised and successful is still deeply shaped by colonialism.
And it is not fair for Arewa to come out of that colonial wound only to be thrown into another one: constant demonisation, constant ridicule, constant scapegoating.
We are being overdiagnosed and over-scapegoated to the point that it is mentally touching our heads.
You see it most profoundly among our so-called enlightened people and children with silver spoons. They are always trying to create a barrier between themselves and Arewa. They want to show that they are not really that Hausa, not really that Northern, not like those people.
The son of the Emir of Kano was mocked for saying he did not know “matasa,” which means youth in Hausa. I watched a video of Zara Buhari talking about how she cannot even speak Hausa very well.
These things do not happen in a vacuum. They are consequences of over-demonising Northerners. Our youth are internalising inferiority. They are distancing themselves from Arewa to feel accepted. They want people to know they are the cool Hausa people, the cool Northerners, not those Northerners.
And this is dangerous.
Today, “Aboki” has become a class marker. “Aboki” has become a word for the lowest of the lowest, for people doing jobs nobody else wants to do. This is bad. This is terrible.
Yes, something needs to be done. But that something is not more ranting. It is not more criticism. It is not more people using Arewa as a punching bag to build their social-media pages.
For anybody deceiving themselves that the North is the only thing dragging Nigeria, you can go fuck yourself.
Nobody should gaslight Arewa into believing we are not hearing the truth. We hear it. In fact, we hear it too much. We are beginning to internalise it. It is affecting the mentality of even the so-called civilised people and children of rich people.
We do not need more people diagnosing us.
We need people willing to help build the cure.
Peller has built a house for his parents and bought each of them cars. Some of you with your intellectual, you can’t point to anything you have done for your parents. Better to be olodo with values and than intellectual over nothing.
Yesterday, I went undercover on @InspiringPhilos’s livestream, and boy… I expected better.
Christian apologetics is in shambles. Go check the video out on my YouTube!
Actually incorrect. Quran 2:256 verse: "There is no compulsion in religion" is a Medinan verse not Makkan.
Secondly, the second text is Hadith, Sahih al-Bukhari.
The hadith applies to apostasy after joining a political-religious community, often framed as a form of rebellion in that historical context.
The hadith is context-specific, tied to early Islamic political survival and wartime conditions and it should not be read as a universal rule for all apostasy in all times.
Apostasy in early Islamic history wasn't just a private change of belief. It often overlapped with
leaving a community in a tribal society, political defection, military conflict, public allegiance shifts.
You actually don't know anything really.
The news I have been hearing about the Taliban in Afghanistan is incredibly painful. Unfortunately, they do this under the cloak of Islam. It is this same Taliban that has:
1. Banned girls from going to school past the sixth grade, locking them out of classrooms and universities.
2. Forbidden women from stepping into public parks, and made it illegal for them to travel without a male relative.
3. Pushed women out of almost every workplace and stripped away their legal right to escape abusive marriages.
Here is another video of a lady crying because she is being forced to see the world through the tight mesh of a burqa. This is not how things work.
On the issue of covering the face, it is a matter of deep debate among scholars, and there is clear legal backing for different positions. Why forcing one interpretation on an entire country? Where is the choice for other legal interpretations?
Their views are extreme and it is largely ignorant and narrow. Now you wonder why they are poor and destitute. The Almighty will never support the unjust even if they are Muslims.
Allah knows best.
Jesus will return according to both our books, but in Islam he returns to break the cross and affirm Islam.
Doesn’t that terrify you that your entire doctrine of divinity will be exposed as false on the Day of Judgment?
This is Gombe state first lady, she is elegantly draped in a flamboyant Hijab. She embodies the proposition that women can ascend to the highest echelons of political heights & still maintain modesty. Her poise, grace & modesty make her profoundly admirable.
She wins my heart.
But leaving islam=death
What other compulsion do you want?
Fastest growing not by conversion but threats,killings, suppression of religious freedom. If truly no compulsion, then the 57 Islamic countries should permit for religious freedom and life after leaving
Lets try an experimen.
Remove the apostasy law for just a year in all Islamic countries and guarantee no harm will come to those who leave Islam during that period and lets see if you'll have followers in tje first 3 months
Why do Christians have the highest rate of leaving their religion, why do Muslims have the lowest rate of leaving Islam, and why do people of other religions convert to Islam the most?
You've now changed the narrative from "there are Muslims in israel than Christian" to "Lebanon is a majorly Christian country" just to keep exposing your desperation. That Being l,said it was never a religious conflict to begin with
