AlhamduliLlah, I graduated from the University of Lagos today. After six long years studying a four-year course. (Slight dig at ASUU here lol) .My journey here was epic.
The University of Lagos was where I rediscovered myself, and it set me on the path where, by Allah's grace, I know only greatness lies at the end.
It was Unilag that Cardano found me after years of toiling in the Blockchain space. This single event led to some of the wildest and greatest transformations of my life. Amongst which was me becoming one of the delegates at the Cardano Constitutional Convention, in Kenya & Argentina in December 2024, and me being bootstrapped as one of the first committee members at. @IntersectMBO Growth & Marketing Committee amongst others.
Without @UnilagNigeria, all these — most likely — would not have been possible. Thank you very much for everything. Bi idhniLlah, I am excited to see what lies ahead. I will do my best to continue living up to the legacy in deed and in truth.
@IamStephen0525@carbeer20@DeenRatio@IdrisAOni1 Lol. First of all this is not the Qur’an. This is a Hadith and what it explains here is racial equality and the authority of a leader. You just have comprehension issues.
@Festus1402@IdrisAOni1 I get your point but what he is saying here is that anyone that practices Islam the way it was preached by the Prophet (pbuh) will be humane because that is what Islam preaches. However, not all people who claim to be Muslims follow the true teachings of Islam, sadly
@DeenRatio@IdrisAOni1 Being Arab and being Muslim are two different things. An Arab is not a better Muslim than a Yoruba man if the Yoruba man is a more pious Muslim. That’s the beauty of Islam. Arabs are not infallible and there is a distinction between being Arab and being Muslim.
I am first and foremost a Muslim. I am an adherent of Islam, an Abrahamic believer, and a Hanif before anything else. Only then am I Yorùbá.
To those who have made it their mission to question the loyalty of Yorùbá Muslims, you may continue your attacks. But know this: for a true Muslim, Islam will always come first. It precedes ethnicity, culture, and nationality because it is the primordial covenant with our Creator.
A Yorùbá Muslim is not conflicted in his identity. He was a Muslim in the divine decree long before he was conceived, and he entered the world as Yorùbá the day he was born to Yorùbá parents. These two identities are not rivals—they are perfectly compatible. One defines his eternal soul and purpose; the other shapes his language, culture, and earthly heritage. Both have their rightful place.
If any Yorùbá Muslim chooses, for whatever reason, to place ethnicity above Islam, then that person has failed to grasp the most fundamental principle of our faith: La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah), and nothing has precedence over Him. Such a person's reckoning is with Allah alone.
My identity is clear and unapologetic: Islam first. Always. Everything else follows in its proper order.
i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life. the plot never changes, but your perspective does.
Remove yourself from the mood swings of 23 year olds who have never made any important decisions or faced any consequences in their lives.
It takes 759,646 flights landing safely before 1 crashes. Flights that landed safely never make the news but a plane crash always does.
@OmoAlade005 Sokka on a contrast was not born with the ability to bend so even if he studied the original waterbender (the moon spirit), the most he can learn is the technique, he will still not be able to bend water because he was born without the ability to do it.
@OmoAlade005 No, the ability to bend had to be there. Toph just learnt the moves directly from the original benders. She was born a bender but because she was blind, most would have expected her to be a weak bender. The badgermoles just showed her a better way for earthbending.
@isaayyuh@SymplyTonbra You people just say rubbish and try to make it sound like canon. Aang was already a master before he and most other airbenders even knew he was the Avatar
This one shook me to my core 💔
Nigeria has many ways of failing its people… and this is one of the cruelest.
Meet Gospel Uabari Kinanee. In 2007, he was just 14 years old. He left home to play football with friends and never came back.
For months, his family turned Rivers State upside down. Hospitals, police stations, morgues — they checked everywhere. No Gospel.
The search broke them. His parents sold their land, their property, everything they had to find their son. The pain and stress was too much. Eventually, both of them died from heartbreak 💔
The world assumed Gospel was dead too. Years passed. 18 long years.
Then in 2025, out of nowhere, his older brother got a call: “We found your brother. He’s in a correctional facility in Rivers State.”
For 18 years, Gospel had been locked up. A 14-year-old boy who went out to play.
When they asked for his case file, there was nothing. No charges. No court record. No reason for his arrest. Just a child… forgotten behind bars.
The worst part? Gospel lost himself in there. His mind couldn’t carry the weight. He doesn’t recognize his brother. He can’t explain how he ended up in prison. The boy who left home to play ball is now a man who can’t remember his own story 😢
How does a child disappear into the system for 18 years without a case?
How many more “Gospels” are wasting away in prison right now for nothing?
This is not just his story. This is a wake-up call for all of us.
Nigeria, how do we fix this? How many innocent lives are we still losing to silence and broken systems? Talk to me
