What he is quoting and teaching is from the Sharia. That’s the law. I swear by the Almighty who created me, if the sections of the Sharia on capital punishment are borrowed by the government to tackle banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency, in 6 months, it will be a thing of the past. Nobody will dare call himself a bandit, identify with a kidnapper, not to mention kidnapping somebody for ransom. But when we are ready as a nation, we will do the right thing.
May the Almighty preserve Dr. Lafiaji in goodness.
My uncle built his house in 2008 with every kobo he had saved for 12 years 😭
We called him wise. We called him a man of vision. His mother cried at the foundation laying. The whole family came for the roofing. It was a celebration.
Then 2009 came. His business needed capital. He had none. He watched a contract worth three times the house walk away because he couldn't fund it.
He borrowed. The interest swallowed him. The business crawled. Then it died.
Today that house is 18 years old. The ceiling is peeling. The gate is rusting. His children are in public school not because he doesn't love them but because the money that should have compounded is locked inside four walls that cannot speak, cannot multiply, cannot save him.
Nobody comes to celebrate him anymore.
The same community that cheered the foundation laying now whispers. "He had money once."
A house is not a testimony. Cash flow is a testimony. Compounding interest is a testimony. Options are a testimony.
Build something that builds you back first.
Shalom ✌️ 🕊️
FIFA World Cup is around the corner, so dear Twitter algorithm, connect me with people who support CR7 and Portugal 🇵🇹 also connect me with people who dislike Messi and Yamal too. Thanks Algo.
This video is a call for help.
My mum is battling with stroke, and it is slowly taking her life. She needs urgent medical funds to stay alive, and I cannot do this alone anymore. Please, if you have it in your heart to help or retweet this to someone who can, I beg of you 🤲🏻🙏
There is something women do that I find funny.
When I am quiet or stare into nothingness, you ask what is on my mind. Madam, there is nothing on my mind.
I'm a quiet person and I easily drift into quietness. Do women understand it is okay to just want to be quiet in your own space? Everything is not an opportunity to gist for gist sake.
They never like my answer. They want gist. There is no gist and there is nothing only mind. Frankly, I actually do not like that question
Zadok didn’t make the National U-17 team btw - he was dropped. But the narrative by certain people (who are projecting their lack of ability onto others) is that if you are dropped at any stage or fail trials at any point in your career, it means you are not a good footballer.
Time and occurrences, once again, have proved this malicious narrative false.
In the end, malicious assertions cannot stand the test of time.
Zadok papa no even realize wetin the boy don do for their family. He just say “congratulations” casually. Naso the life of their whole generation don change like that.
Olódùmarè, let me be a beacon of light for this current generation of the Onitọlọ family.

Most football fans complain about their club's ownership and can do absolutely nothing about it. Real Madrid's members get to walk into a voting booth and choose who runs the biggest club in the world. That is not normal in football.
If you remember, I once wrote something on football leagues and their ownership models. I wrote about the 50+1 model in Germany and the socios and private model in Spain. This is a live example of the socios.
On Sunday June 7, approximately 100,000 registered socios will vote at the Basketball Pavilion in Real Madrid City between 9am and 8pm to decide who leads the club until 2030.
It is the first contested election since Ramón Calderón's victory in 2006, ending Florentino Pérez's unprecedented streak of uncontested elections.
Real Madrid is a member-owned club. Not a state-owned project, not a private equity vehicle, and most definitely not a billionaire's plaything. The socios own it and they decide its direction through a democratic vote that most football fans in England, France or Germany can only dream of.
On one side of the contest is Florentino Pérez. 79 years old. Member number 1,484. The man who has overseen six Champions League titles across his two spells in charge, rebuilt the Santiago Bernabéu into one of the most commercially powerful stadiums on earth and attracted every generational talent from Zidane to Ronaldo to Mbappé.
He called this election himself after a trophy-less season. That takes a specific kind of confidence.
On the other side stands Enrique Riquelme. He is 37 years old. He is also the Founder of Cox Energy.
He Presents himself as the reformist outsider determined to reconnect the club with its members.
His campaign slogan is "legacy and future" and his central pitch is rebuilding the relationship between the institution and ordinary socios who he argues have been increasingly sidelined by corporate expansion.
He is the one promising the signatures of Haaland and Rodri if he wins.
Pérez is the overwhelming favorite as it is. His record makes that inevitable. But the fact that this election is happening at all, contested for the first time in twenty years, tells you something about where the club stands right now.
A trophy-less season creates space for questions that silverware usually silences.
Sunday will tell us whether those questions were loud enough.
