I congratulate His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde, on the successful rescue of the abducted students and teachers from Oriire LGA. This reflects your compassionate leadership and unwavering commitment to the safety of our people.
Alhamdulillah! 🤍💙
With hearts full of gratitude and joy, we’re overjoyed to announce that in the early hours of yesterday, Allah (SWT) blessed my husband and me with the most precious gift ,our beautiful baby boy. 🤍
Alhamdulillah, our little prince, mummy, and daddy are all doing well.
We pray that Allah (SWT) keep him under his divine protection, grant him good health, wisdom, strong Imaan, and makes him a source of joy, peace, and barakah in this life and the next. Ameen. 🤲🏽
Alhamdulillah for His mercy, His perfect timing, and for making us parents. Truly, every praise belongs to Allah. 🤍
My father is not Otedola
But my mother never lifted a finger to work during any of her pregnancies.
She is still a size 8 at 67+ because daddy keeps funding her healthy feeding
I grew up eating veggies like Broccoli, kale, cauliflower, zucchini, radishes etc because my father could afford paying for them to be brought fresh from Jos for his wife monthly.
My mom grows berries, custard apples and other exotic fruits at home because her husband could afford a house with enough land for her horticultural garden and is building her a bigger house with even more land for gardening
If I say I want a man with my father’s money A LOT of you in this generation won’t be able to afford 1% of the comfort he gave and still gives my mom.
I eat salads, drink green teas constantly and I know how expensive they are. The average Nigerian man cannot daily pay 12k for breakfast and dinner salad (I am doing this for myself as a single woman because I grew up eating this way).
Otedola is far, middle income fathers exist and a lot of you small boys still can’t afford the things our middle class fathers can afford but keep talking.
I went on a first date with a guy.
Beforehand I asked: “What’s the plan?”
He said: “Dinner.”
Great. Man with a plan. Food. Love it. No notes.
He picked me up.
We were driving and chatting when he suddenly pulled up in front of a house.
I said:
“Oh, did you forget something?”
“No.”
“Then why are we here?”
“For dinner.”
I looked at the house.
Then at him.
Then back at the house.
“Whose house is this?”
He said:
“My parents’.”
BROTHER WHAT
So apparently I had unknowingly signed up for a surprise Meet The Parents expansion pack.
At this point all I could think was:
Dear God, I hope this man isn’t about to propose. 😭
But I figured, you know what?
If he wants me to meet his parents on the first date, I WILL meet his parents.
We went inside.
Pleasantries. Introductions. Small talk.
His mom was lovely. Beautiful woman. I was immediately a fan.
My husband kept saying his company was struggling.
No bonuses. No raises. No extra spending.
We cut back on everything.
Then I attended his office holiday party.
The CEO stepped onto the stage.
"And now, congratulations to our new Vice President..."
My husband's face appeared on the giant screen.
The room erupted in applause.
I stood there frozen.
Vice President?
The salary range for that role started at three times what he claimed to earn.
When I confronted him later, he sighed.......
There was a time a farmer from the East contacted me about stocking his new farm. It was going to be a big operation, and he needed animals worth millions of naira.
We met online and discussed the deal. Since neither of us had met physically before, we were both cautious. He suggested payment on delivery, while I insisted on payment before delivery. Eventually, we reached a compromise: he would pay 50% upfront and the balance upon delivery.
Throughout the process, I kept him updated with videos of the animals. Even before we finalized the deal, we had started chatting like friends. On the day of delivery, I sent him videos of the animals being loaded, and he couldn’t stop talking about how much he loved them.
The logistics company charged about N400k, for transportation, and he agreed. Since it was a logistics company I regularly worked with, they agreed to collect their payment upon arrival.
I decided to travel with the animals myself. It was also an opportunity to visit a few more states.
After a long journey from Lagos, we arrived at the farm close to midnight. The farm was located far from any residential area. While my boys were busy offloading the animals, the farmer and I were talking. It was our very first face to face meeting.
Once the animals were successfully offloaded, I requested the balance payment. He explained that the network in the area was poor and said he would make the transfer once he got to a location with better reception.
Considering he had already paid half the money without ever meeting me, I trusted him.
I handed over the invoice, everyone got into their vehicles, and we all set off. The logistics team and I began our journey back to Lagos that same night.
A while later, my phone beeped.
Credit alert! 😁
My heart relaxed instantly.
But something told me to check the amount.
To my surprise, he had paid only about 10% of the outstanding balance.
I tried to convince myself that maybe he was sending the money in batches because of bank transfer limits. Rather than assume, I called him.
The phone rang.
And rang.
And rang.
No answer.
I called again.
Still nothing.
At that point, I told the driver to stop at the first decent hotel we could find in town.
I wasn’t leaving without settling this matter.
I paid the logistics company, and they continued their journey back to Lagos while I stayed behind, patiently waiting for daylight.
To be continued…
Dear @DanBurmawy,
I made a promise I won’t go hard on anybody today because apparently today is our Eid Celebration. But, Burmawi won’t let me.
Your entire argument is a classic display of profound historical and textual ignorance, built on a desperate attempt to sound deep while completely misrepresenting both the Bible and the historical record.
You call the Islamic position theological vandalism. Really? Funnily, you do not even realize you are defending a text that biblical scholars themselves have flagged for centuries as a compromised, heavily edited document.
First of all, let me start with the unforgivable textual contradiction in Genesis 22:2, where your text says, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac."
Burmawi, anyone with a basic sense of logic can see the glitch here. Isaac was never, at any point in his life, Abraham’s only son. Ishmael was born fourteen years before Isaac. The only time Abraham ever had an "only son" was before Isaac was even born, when Ishmael was his single child.
This is not even an Islamic argument; this is standard, objective biblical scholarship.
Top Western theologians and textual critics, such as Dr. T.C. Mitchell (former Keeper of Western Asiatic Antiquities at the British Museum) and the renowned biblical scholar Dr. Robert Alter, have written extensively on how the Hebrew word Yachid (only/unique) in this text is completely irreconcilable with Isaac's historical position.
The text explicitly demands a firstborn who was an only child for a period, which historically fits nobody but Ishmael.
What you are reading is a clear case of later scribal interpolation, where later writers crossed out Ishmael's name and inserted Isaac to serve a nationalistic, tribal narrative.
Unfortunately for them, they completely forgot to fix the "only son" blunder they left in the verse. lol 😂
Again, your attempt to reduce Ishmael to a mistake of "human performance" completely exposes your ignorance of the Old Testament itself.
In Genesis 16:11, it is the Angel of the Lord who commands Hagar to name the child Ishmael, which means "God hears." God does not name mistakes.
Also, in Genesis 17:20, God explicitly says, "And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation."
Dr. John Van Seters, a biblical historian noted here that the promises of greatness and covenant blessings given to Ishmael in the text run completely parallel to those given to Isaac. Therefore, calling Ishmael a product of mere human scheming is a direct contradiction of the very scripture you are trying to preach from.
Let me also say that your reliance on Paul’s allegory in Galatians 4 to frame Ishmael as "the law and bondage" is a big chronological leap.
Paul was simply writing an ideological polemic in the first century to convince a Roman-era audience to abandon Jewish legalism.
So, using a first-century rhetorical allegory to rewrite a historical event that happened two thousand years before is not scholarship; it is a desperate theological spin, and that shows how ignorant and mischievous you are.
Burmawi, note this: The Islamic narrative did not hijack or distort anything. Okay? It simply restored the story to its logical, geographical, and historical truth.
Abraham was asked to sacrifice his firstborn, the child of his lonely old age, in absolute submission. You exchanged the historical firstborn for a younger son to fit your tribal exclusivity. Then you wrapped it in flowery language about “grace” versus “works” to hide the factual error.
Next time you want to accuse an entire civilization of theological vandalism, try reading your own book with the lights on first.
I hope this clears your mischief.
Allah knows best.
