Nobody cares about your population advantage. If that’s what you want, fine. People’s worry is that a government that sponsors mass weddings should guarantee free,compulsory basic education for the offspring of the couples and ensure there is adequate social safety and provision coverage for all of them.

When you give birth to children you can’t cater for, your parenting failure takes a future toll on the well-being of the society and country at large.

If anything, the Almajiranci and what it has been twisted into should be a source of worry for you, given your exposure. Does a government-funded mass wedding not encourage recklessness?

What’s the out-of-school children rate in the North?

@EndedByHisMercy @taiwoinumidun1 @A__yabo He is right.
Historically, in Nigeria, Sharia has never been restricted to "only Muslims".
There's no evidence that this would change

[SuperMegazillionaire Misty @misty_abisola]

Let’s say we even approach this the way we would approach any other policy proposal. If someone wants to introduce a new economic system, education system, or healthcare system, the first thing we ask is:

What has the track record been?
What outcomes has it produced?
What does the evidence say?

So why should Shariah be exempt from that scrutiny? There are dozens of Muslim-majority countries in the world today. Some implement aspects of Shariah, some implement significant portions of it, and some claim it as the foundation of their legal system.

If you want Shariah in Nigeria, where is the evidence? Why do you want non-Muslims to ignore the much larger number of countries practising shariah struggling with poverty, conflict, instability, weak institutions, corruption, or authoritarian governance?

And before anyone says “that’s not real Sharia,” that’s exactly my point.
Every failure of Shariah is always dismissed as bad implementation.
At what point do we evaluate the system based on the outcomes it actually produces in the real world rather than the ideal version that exists in theory?

Nigeria is already battling insecurity, corruption, weak institutions, religious tensions, and selective justice.
Why should a multi-religious country introduce a legal framework that is deeply contested, heavily dependent on interpretation, and implemented differently across the Muslim world?
What problem does Sharia solve that a fair, effective, and properly enforced legal system cannot solve? What are the success stories of the muslim-majority states already practising it?

As a Yoruba Muslim, this is the kind of Islamic preaching that I want to be hearing and seeing in all our mosques across Southwest/Yoruba land every Friday/Juma'at.

This is not the time to be pushing for Sharia law in Yoruba land if we truly care about our safety from these bandits/terrorists. The word "Sharia", no matter the good intentions it has, has been bastardised by these bandits/terrorists. It would only be very foolish and insensitive for any Yoruba Muslims to be calling for such laws in the Southwest/Yoruba land at this time.

If the land is not safe, no one will be able to practice any religion freely whether you support Sharia laws or not. So, we must be united as Yorubas (Ọmọ Oodua) to keep our spaces safe at all costs.

May God/Allah/Eledumare keep protecting us all.

[SuperMegazillionaire Misty @misty_abisola]

Every time an extremist group, violent government, terrorist organization, or abusive individual acts in the name of Islam, non-Muslims are told to separate Islam from their actions. But what is it about Islam that so many different groups across different countries and generations keep misinterpreting in ways that justify violence, control, or oppression? And more importantly, what are Muslims doing to challenge those interpretations beyond saying, “They’re not real Muslims”?

If a man’s brother was killed by someone who identified as a Muslim, the first thing on his mind is not going to be this theological debate about whether the killer represented Islam correctly. His experience is real, and his perception was shaped by somebody acting in the name of Islam. The answer cannot always be, “That’s not Islam.” At some point, we have to ask ourselves why these misinterpretations are so common. The conversation cannot only be about defending the ideal version of the religion. Why are our voices not louder when it’s time to challenge the version that millions of people actually experience. We cannot be gaslighting people all the time. “They are bad actors” or “this is not islam” cannot be our excuse.

Yes, Aisha was a scholar. Yes, Islam has examples of powerful and influential women. But is that the reality women experience today with Islam?

We cannot repeatedly tell people to ignore Afghanistan, Northern Nigeria, Taliban rule, extremist groups, honour killings, and religious violence, then be surprised when many people associate Islam with violence or restrictions on women. Perception doesn’t come out of a vacuum.

The burden cannot be on outsiders to separate Islam from the examples they see every day. Muslims also have a responsibility to confront the interpretations, institutions, and leaders that continue to shape those examples. And we are not doing that enough.

No country treats women better than Afghanistan

Back in the day, I had a friend from Liberia.

Her parents were upper-middle-class and lived in Monrovia.

She said they woke one day to find rebels at the doorstep of Monrovia, and there was a mad dash to the airport. She said a country had sent planes to evacuate its citizens from Liberia, but the Liberians were buying the seats on those planes to escape.

Her parents could only afford to send her; she never saw them again.

I asked, “This war didn't start in one day; why didn't you leave earlier?”

She said, “We simply heard about an attack here and there and never assumed it would come to Monrovia.”

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

Four beer company CEOs walk into a bar.

The CEO of Budweiser orders a Bud Light.

The CEO of Miller orders a Miller Lite.

The CEO of Coors orders a Coors Light.

The CEO of Guinness orders a Coke.

The other three look at him and ask, “Why aren’t you drinking a Guinness?”

The CEO of Guinness says, “Well, I figured if you three weren’t ordering beer, it would be rude if I did.”

A mathematics professor once discovered that the sink in his kitchen had broken. He called a plumber, who arrived the next day, tightened a few fittings, and quickly fixed the problem.

The professor was pleased—until he saw the bill.

“This is a third of my monthly salary!” he exclaimed.

Still, he paid it. As the plumber was leaving, he said, “I understand your situation. Why not join our company? You could earn much more than you do now. Just one thing—when you apply, say you only finished elementary school. They prefer that.”

The professor, intrigued, followed the advice. To his surprise, he was hired. The work was simple—occasional repairs, tightening pipes—and his income improved dramatically.

Some time later, the company introduced a new rule: all employees had to attend evening classes to complete basic schooling. The professor had no choice but to attend.

On the first day, the subject was mathematics. The instructor asked a student to write the formula for the area of a circle on the board. The professor was chosen.

He walked up confidently—but then hesitated. He couldn’t recall the formula.

Determined, he began deriving it from scratch. The board quickly filled with integrals, derivatives, and complex expressions. After several minutes of work, he arrived at a result:

−πr²

Unsatisfied with the negative sign, he tried again. And again. Each time, the same result appeared.

Frustrated, he turned to the class. Behind him, the other plumbers were whispering to one another:

“Switch the limits of the integral.”

Ṣe bandits go kidnap am or his family members in Canada?

[Ogochukwu ❤️ @TheEmmalez]

My estate neighbour a landlord sold his house, his cars, his properties to relocate to Canada two years ago

He was actually doing well in Nigeria and woke up one morning and decided to start pursuing Japa.

He was there in Canada for more than two months without a single job, he was just sleeping in one of his old friend's living room and was there for barely 4 months.

Anytime I reach out to him via WhatsApp, he will complain and say "big Jeff, this stuff is not what we think ooo life here is actually very difficult".

I felt terribly bad about his sudden decision. You mean, you left your own mansion to become a puppet in another man's land?

You weren't even jobless, you are a business that's fetching you 400k to 500k at the end of the month. You have your own house, cars and living very well and in a well secured estate.

This can never make sense to me no matter how Una try to make it make sense.

Now, I heard Canada economy is in heavy recession and things are difficult right now.

I don't even know how my guy is coping right now.

You see why some of us are here putting fire on these old politicians that have refused to let Nigeria work.

Person like me can't even spend 2 months out of this country. I go just the sick anyhow. I can't trade my dear country to any country in the world regardless.

Pound for pound, FoodCo pepper is effectively cheaper than Bodija

[The Kitchen Barbie 🎀 @thecori_kitchen]

I went to foodco today to get habanero peppers, at the point of payment, an elderly man who was beside me overheard my bill which was about 4,900.

Then he said, you should have just gone to Bodija market to buy peppers and no matter how I explained that I bought these for the flavor and the extreme heat they offer so I can just use less when cooking….. he wasn’t having it 😩😩😭

Well… I’m cooking fried rice tomorrow and I’ll get adequate heat for my food without using lots of peppers to make it red 😌
