Teachers in northeastern Nigeria march in Maiduguri demanding the release of 42 abducted schoolchildren in Borno State and stronger school protection.
Al Jazeera’s Felix Nyawara reports.
Mallam Nasir El-Rufai does not dislike the people of Southern Kaduna, nor did he discriminate between Muslims and Christians during his time as Governor of Kaduna State. From my observation, he believed governance should be based on discipline, fairness, and accountability not religion or ethnicity.
Mallam does not tolerate nonsense, regardless of who is involved. His style of leadership may be strict, but he believes governance is serious business.
Those who have ears should listen. I can proudly say I am an El-Rufai fan.
Prof Pantami joins APC, you guys insulted him for siding with the “oppressors”.
Prof Pantami complained about not given a fair primary election, you guys didn’t say anything.
Prof Pantami joins another party, PDP, you guys are insulting him again. 🌚😒
Please make this go viral by simply RETWEETING. The killers of Dadiyata must not be allowed to go scot-free.
This issue must be investigated until the killers are brought to justice.
Please make sure you tag the commissioner of police and all relevant security agencies. Thanks
Dear Muslims,
It is not permissible for a muslim to openly or privately declare hatred for polygyny, because polygyny is something Allah has made lawful in Islam. While it is understandable that many first wives may struggle emotionally with their husbands taking another wife, a muslim must be careful not to condemn what Allah has permitted.
At the same time, Islam recognises human emotions and personal limits.
Can a muslim man choose not to practice polygyny? Yes.
Can a muslim woman prefer monogamy and not want her husband to take another wife? Yes.
Can a muslim woman refuse to marry a man who openly intends to practice polygyny? Yes.
Can a wife seek divorce if polygyny is severely affecting her emotionally or mentally? According to some scholars, yes.
Even the wives of the Prophet ﷺ who are the best of women experienced jealousy among themselves, to the extent that Allah revealed verses addressing some of those situations.
So feeling hurt, jealous, or emotionally overwhelmed is part of human nature and should not automatically be condemned.
However, there is a difference between struggling with something emotionally and declaring hatred for what Allah has made halal.
As muslims, we should not:
• Hate polygyny, it is a ruling from Allah.
• Hate fellow muslims simply because they practice polygyny.
• Speak badly about muslims solely because they choose what Islam has made permissible.
No muslim, dead or alive, has the authority to declare forbidden or hateful what Allah has made lawful and permissible.
We should be careful as muslims, not to fall in error of hating what Allah made lawful, just because our emotions are up.
Lastly, this post is directed to muslims alone.
If Dadiyata was a southerner, his killers would’ve been brought to justice by now, but our people don’t have the media to push for these things or are just unwilling to do so.
But trust them to come out en masse when someone’s nudes leak on the timeline.
Someone told me she completely stopped criticizing and gossiping because Allaah taught her a great lesson.
She lived in a school hostel, and every single time any of the girls did something immoral, she criticized them. Before she graduated, she ended up engaging in most of the same things they were involved in.
Sometimes, God tests you simply because you feel you’re too good to be tested, because you think other people only fall into sin because they are not holding firmly enough to the deen.
Pray for those who have strayed, and beg God to keep you firm upon the right path.
The truth is, none of the good deeds we do, or the sins we avoid, are purely products of our own wisdom. Na God ooo.
Unrelated, but Hausa traders don’t touch/harass women in the market too.
I’ve noticed how they even avoid contact when I pass by. As someone who has lived in the north/middle belt, I can confidently tell you they are the most honest ethnic group in Nigeria (both in words and character).
The World Bank report Vs Ministry’s response -
-The report says: 41% of all federation revenue was taken off the top before reaching FAAC.
Ministry says: Nothing to see here.
-The report says: Deductions are opaque, oversized, and shrinking funds for development.
Ministry says: They’re legitimate, so stop asking questions.
-The report says: Some agencies now get more money than several states.
Ministry says : These are normal transfers.
-The report’s data (2023–2025) is current and shows deductions rising from ₦6.2T to ₦14.9T.
Ministry says : Critics used outdated data.
-The report says: Capital spending is falling despite rising revenue.
Ministry says: You’re focusing on the wrong thing.
-The report says: Reforms could help if anchored with social safety nets.
Ministry says: Reforms are already working; nothing spoil.
So, bottom line:
The World Bank raised red flags that should concern every Nigerian, especially any responsible government; the ministry responded with talking points, good vibes and insha’ Allah!
In babu, babu fa, in akwai, akwai. Babu wani "reflection". Namijin kirki mai kirki ne a Koda yaushe, ba ruwansa da yadda matarsa ke masa, haka zalika itama macen.
Core values are never transactional. Shysa good men are for good women and vise versa.
