[Abdulbasit @Mujaahid_1]

Muslims avoid pork primarily because the Quran explicitly commands it, categorizing the animal as inherently impure (Najis al-Ayn). This classification means the impurity is a fundamental part of the pig's essence, not a temporary state caused by mud or neglect.

Consequently, no amount of physical scrubbing, bathing, or pristine living conditions can alter the spiritual status assigned to it by divine decree.

While washing a pig three times a day makes it superficially clean, it does not change its ritual status under Islamic law.

Furthermore, Islamic teachings emphasize that an animal's outward behaviour and biological design reflect its inner nature. Even in a sterilized enclosure, a pig retains its anatomical traits, such as a highly unselective digestive system and a lack of functional sweat glands to expel toxins.

Islamic dietary laws operate on the principle that the food a person consumes physically and spiritually influences their character. Therefore, the animal's natural disposition as a scavenger makes its consumption incompatible with the spiritual purity a Muslim aims to maintain.

The Islamic restriction serves as a test of faith and a reminder of the boundaries set by Allah. Islamic jurisprudence views divine commands as inherently beneficial to humanity, even when the exact physical wisdom is not fully apparent to the human mind.

Refraining from pork helps believers practice self-discipline and reinforce their reliance on revelation over subjective logic.

I remember someone once telling me, “I’m not sharing my problems so you can offer solutions. I’m sharing them because I need someone to listen.”

That was the longest sequence of “Hmm,” “Wow,” “Rayuwa kenan,” and “Kai!” I’ve ever had to deliver. 😂

Annie IDiidibia 2baba wife video leaving my husband, 2Baba, was the biggest mistake of my life. Allegedly I was misled by fake friends. People who told me to divorce. I realize now that they wanted me my downfall .Two months after our divorce, I saw my friend with him at a club. He said he was trying to get my attention maybe he but I knew the truth my friend wasn't they for that . I lost it. I wasn’t myself. But thank God, we found our way back. We’re at peace now. And I’m expecting a baby with 2Baba. This is my apology. And this is my comeback to my lovely husband

[Ahmad Salkida @A_Salkida]

The Presidency says one man allegedly created a fake federal agency. It found its way into the national budget. It received public funds from a budget signed by the President. It operated from the Federal Secretariat. It met National Assembly leaders. It even engaged foreign ambassadors. Today, Nigerians are being told the agency never existed.

If that is true, this is no longer just about fraud. It is a national security failure. This is either a lie or a national security disaster that reflects the current state of our intelligence and oversight administration.

Think about what it means. An entity that allegedly did not exist was able to pass through layers of government without anyone stopping it. If the institutions at the centre of power could not detect it, how are they expected to stop terrorists, bring our school children home safely from abductors, fend off organised criminal networks or foreign actors exploiting the same weaknesses?

This goes beyond one individual. It exposes a state whose oversight systems may have failed at multiple levels. Nigeria does not have only a corruption problem. It has an institutional problem.

There has to be accountability. There has to be reform. Where failures are established, people should be held responsible. This should also trigger a serious national conversation about fixing the systems meant to protect the state before the next breach is even worse.

Last week, I tweeted repeatedly about the Interior Decoration Company which was awarded the construction of Osun State International Airport at the cost of N99.5 BILLION. Not a single supporter of the Governor Ademola Adeleke replied to those tweets. The campaign council, or even their online trolls too completely ignored them.

One begins to wonder, why do they react to other stories, including posts where we are promoting our candidate without mentioning theirs, but they have ignored this airport scandal.

The Governor Ademola Administration have questions to answer. This will not be swept under the carpet.

The Fall of DSTV

DSTV raised its subscription prices three times in two years.

Then it lost 1.4 million Nigerian subscribers in those same two years.

Then it slashed its decoder price by 50% to beg those subscribers to come back.

Some people will call it business strategy but this is a company eating itself alive and wondering why it is hungry.

The numbers are brutal.

MultiChoice lost 2.8 million active subscribers across Africa over two financial years. 1.2 million in 2025 alone. An 8% year on year decline. 

Nigeria accounted for 77% of subscriber losses across all of MultiChoice’s African operations outside South Africa. The Rest of Africa base collapsed from 9.3 million in 2023 to 7.5 million in 2025. 

Nigeria did not just leave DSTV, they buried it and the content is leaving with the subscribers.

BET Africa and MTV Base shut down January 2026. CBS Reality and CBS Justice went December 2025. CNN International, Discovery Channel, Cartoon Network, TNT Africa, Food Network and several others were all at risk of removal. 

A platform charging premium prices while removing the channels people subscribed for is not a product anymore but a subscription to disappointment.

DSTV built its Nigerian dominance on a monopoly with no serious competition for decades. So it did what every monopoly does when it feels untouchable. It raised prices whenever it wanted, reduced value whenever it could, and treated Nigerian subscribers like they had no alternative.

Then Netflix arrived. Then YouTube got faster. Then data became more accessible. Then the naira collapsed and Nigerians had to choose between DSTV and eating.

Omo we chose eating.

MultiChoice responded by cutting decoder prices from N20,000 to N10,000 and launching a promotional campaign called “We Got You”.

“We Got You” from the same company that raised your subscription three times in 24 months, removed your favourite channels, and treated your complaints like background noise.

They did not get you, they lost you and now they are running after you with a discount like an ex who only calls when they realise you moved on.

DSTV is not falling because of Netflix or the economy.

It is falling because it spent twenty years treating Nigerian consumers with contempt and assumed loyalty was the same thing as having no choice.

Nigerians finally got a choice but not MultiChoice

And btw pls stop comparing fiber X to Starlink, its an insult to internet connection

If you sub fiber X today for a month let’s say 7th of June, it will expire on the 6th of July.

On the other hand Starlink will expire on the same date next month and you will have one full month of grace to pay up before they disconnect you.

Brighton bought a teenager for about £4m and sold him to Chelsea for £115m. The man running the club is a professional gambler. This week he did it again, paying £21.5m for an 18-year-old from the Swedish league.

The gambler is Tony Bloom. Before football, he made his money at the poker table and in sports betting, where the whole skill is spotting something priced too low and betting big on it. He bought Brighton and ran it the same way.

Caicedo is the one everyone remembers. Brighton signed Moisés Caicedo from a club in Ecuador for about £4m and sold him to Chelsea two seasons later for £115m, the most a British club had ever paid for a player at the time. Marc Cucurella cost £15m and left for Chelsea at £62m. Liverpool paid £35m for Alexis Mac Allister, a £7m buy from Argentina. João Pedro went the same way last summer, £30m in and up to £60m out, also to Chelsea. Same move every time. Buy a kid cheap, give him a season or two to get good, then sell him to a giant at the peak of his price.

The trick is that Brighton barely guesses. Bloom owns a sports-betting company, and the club runs a private piece of software that scans players across the planet and flags the ones going for less than they are worth, usually teenagers in leagues the big clubs cannot be bothered to watch, in places like Ecuador, Argentina, Japan and now Sweden. They look for the position they need anywhere on earth, plan a year or two ahead, and have a cheap replacement ready before the star is even sold. In late 2024 they let go of most of their human scouts and leaned on the computer instead.

And it works. Brighton made the biggest profit any club has ever posted in the Premier League, around £123m in a single year, and the Caicedo money had not even come in yet. They pulled it off with the 13th-biggest wage bill in the league and one of the cheapest squads in it.

Chelsea alone have now handed Brighton about £237m for Caicedo, Cucurella and João Pedro. They are paying for the very machine that keeps beating them. And two of the four clubs Brighton held off to sign that Swedish kid this week were Chelsea and Newcastle.

So an 18-year-old from Stockholm, bought for £21.5m, is just the next chip on the gambler's table. If the pattern holds, some giant pays over £100m for him in a few years, and Brighton starts the whole thing again with the winnings.

[TERRORIST SURVIVOR 💪🏽 @GbolahanOlanyi0]

As a survivor of kidnapping and banditry, I can tell you that these criminals believe that no matter how much they take from you, you will eventually work and earn it back after your release.

Let me use myself as an example. After my family paid the ₦15 million ransom they demanded, along with other items worth over ₦600,000, they still weren't satisfied. They continued demanding more money and eventually asked for ₦55 million. They even told my mother to sell her house and car to raise the money.

Because my family rented a vehicle to deliver the ransom and other requested items, the kidnappers assumed we owned the car and were wealthy. They kept insisting that we sell all our properties and hand over the proceeds to them.

Omo, it was a terrible ordeal. The fear, pressure, and emotional torture were overwhelming. Watching my family struggle to meet their endless demands was heartbreaking.

One painful reality is that they often target ordinary and struggling people like us because we are easier to capture than the elites, who usually have better security and protection.

This is why we cannot continue to stay silent. Kidnapping and banditry have destroyed countless lives, families, and dreams across Nigeria. We need to raise our voices, stand together as a nation, and demand urgent action against insecurity.

Today it may be someone else's family. Tomorrow it could be yours. Enough is enough. 💔🇳🇬🙏🏽

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Congrats to Israel, they killed another peace deal. We were at 95% done. After Puppet Trump talked to Netanyahu, he came out with new completely unrealistic demands:

1. Israel doesn't have to abide by the peace deal and can keep attacking Lebanon. So, only a ceasefire for one side.
2. We have to take out all the enriched uranium on day one, not in the second stage.
3. All Middle Eastern countries have to betray the Palestinians and sign Abraham Accords to normalize relations with Israel without ending the occupation.

These are purposely impossible, so that the war continues. And Israel is bombing Lebanon heavily now to try to reignite the war.

They are not our allies, Israel is a terrorist government which has captured our government and media. They're using it to drive permanent war that Americans are forced to pay for.

I’ve never spent more than a week outside Nigeria. No matter the flaws or challenges, I always feel caged in another man’s country. For me, there’s truly no place like Nigeria… the greatest country in the world.

[Asiya nomad 👑 @AsiyaRodrigo]

I left also, and I also know people in Nigeria who are doing extremely well. Their products and services are moving in high volumes because their customers are wealthy wholesalers or elites with money. Some have received government patronage or are moving in the right circles, so are rolling in it. But some of them also rode on their parents' names or friends to get scholarships or placement into their positions, or a family business that was set up when times were better, or were born or married into money. Many had families who paid for their graduate schools, housing, weddings and more. Many were selectively awarded opportunities due to their relationships. Most were able to access capital in the millions to multiply.

But if you are starting as an ordinary person with no connections and no family name or capital, no special friends in high places, no leg up for housing, employment, contracts, or postgrad courses, and no way to serve a politician or senior civil servant to access contracts and 'seats', then abroad gives you fairer opportunities. Yes, you may start off at the bottom, and you will have to deal with heavy bills yourself instead of family contributing or helping you to stay in a family-owned accommodation. But if you have a good investment strategy, you can build an honest portfolio and retire without ever having to have favours done or "gifts" given by your parents' friends, family members, or the ranks of the political elite. You can unlock more capital through your own savings and equity from your assets, and you can build a team around you within a year of focussed work.

I suppose those from a collectivist culture may find an individualist culture not conducive to peace of mind, and that's fair enough. It's just good to keep things in perspective about whether opportunities are equally accessible to everyone.

Personally, I prefer being a nobody and not being favoured by anyone or accessing things due to relationships. I don't want anyone handing me a huge sum because of what I can do for them outside my usual work. If you want, pay for my legitimate services at the rates I set. If I go the extra mile for you, it's because that's the sort of person I am, not because I want your tips or favours. And I certainly don't want to have to pretend I like you and shower you with false praises just for you to keep favouring me. I don't want to feel pressured to also help my friends and dependents through my position.

Moreover, I don't feel safe with classist and feudal mentalities around me.

[Slim @onu_slim]

Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.

The official story blames fungal blight.

But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.

An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.

That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.

Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?

Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.

The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.

Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
