Without prejudice to whatever willful
inadequacies of every mortal, Attahiru
Jega, a professor and out-going
National Chairman of Nigeria’s
election management body, the
Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, deserves to be
commended. As he exits that office,
there is going to be a fierce battle to
fill the slot.
And were President Muhammadu
Buhari be committed to sustaining the
transformative underpinning of Jega’s
tenure, he would not need to look
beyond the suggestions contained in
this piece.
More importantly, Mr. President would
need to divorce himself of any shade
of nepotic and prebendal inclinations
in appointing a replacement for Jega
so that he, too, would keep faith with
the need to build on what Jega started.
By Jide Ajani
There are moves being made in some
quarters by some prominent Emirs to
compel President Muhammadu Buhari
to appoint another northerner to fill the
position of the National Chairman,
Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC.
Sunday Vanguard learnt that as the
battle rages, Mr. President has come
under considerable pressure by some
traditional rulers from the North
directly and, in some instances, using
proxies to make a case for one of the
National Commissioners.
Interestingly, the Commissioner is
also from the North West geo-political
zone like out-going Attahiru Jega.
And in what appears to be a direct
unintended though predictable
consequence of appointing retired civil
servants and old men and women into
the Commission, a 75-year old
national commissioner (name
withheld) was rushed to the Intensive
care Unit, ITU, of an You, Akwa Ibom
hospital recently while the
Commission was having a retreat in
that state.
Sunday Vanguard was made to
understand that even while in a state
of coma, he was flown in an air
ambulance to an Abuja-hospital.
He is still in a coma.
The impending exit of the Chairman of
the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, Professor Jega,
and his peers of national and state
Electoral Commissioners brings to a
potential an expected finale a
remarkable period in the history of the
Commission. They are the first crop of
electoral Commissioners to midwife
the affairs of the Commission after the
significant reforms enacted from the
recommendations of the Mohammed
Lawal Uwais Committee on Electoral
Reforms.
Professor Jega and the Commission
he led conducted two elections,
considered largely credible and
acceptable globally.
Both elections were principally
between two main candidates, former
President Goodluck Jonathan and
incumbent President Muhammadu
Buhari, both men won one out of both
contests, making any claims of bias to
either difficult to sustain.
The Commission, under Jega, can
therefore be said to have creditably
acquitted itself in terms.........

Many men believe that if he has had intercourse with his wife and did not make ghusl (similar to the above) then he cannot fast the next morning. This is also incorrect, for he can fast even if he has not made Ghusl.
Some people pray Dhur and Asr prayers together during Ramadan. (mainly in Arab countries) This is incorrect and should be avoided.
Some people believe you cannot eat until the Muadthin is done calling the Maghrib Adthan. This is incorrect, as soon as he starts a person can break their fast.
Many people don't take advantage of making dua before they break their fast. This is one of the three times when Allah accepts a person dua.
Many people make the mistake of spending the later part of Ramadan preparing for Eid, neglecting Ramadan. This is incorrect and these people lose the concept of what Ramadan is about.
Many parents do not let their children fast during Ramadan (young children). This is something counter productive to a child. By allowing him to fast he will grow up to know he must do this act.
Many people think Ramadan is just about not eating and forget about controlling their tempers and watching what they say. In actuality we are supposed to control our tempers and mouths even more during Ramadan.
People often waste their time during Ramadan. They go to sleep during the day and get nothing done. We should be taking advantage of this blessed month by doing extra Ibaadat.

Many people think you cannot use a
Miswak or toothbrush during
Ramadan. This is false, for the
Prophet(saw) used to use a miswak
during Ramadan. Also you CAN use
toothpaste; the reasoning by the
scholars is that the Miswak has flavor,
thus toothpaste is okay to use (if you
are not eating it).


Some people make the Fajr Adhan
early. They do this so people will stop
eating before Fajr and not invalidate
their fast. This is wrong and
something we should not do.


Some people make the Maghrib Adhan
late. They do this so people will start
eating late, just incase Maghrib has
not come in yet. This too is wrong and
we should not do this.


Many many people believe you cannot
have intercourse with your spouse
during the whole month of Ramadan.
This is false, you cannot do this only
during the times when you are fasting.
Between Maghrib and Fajr it is
permissible to do.



Many women believe that if their
period has just ended and they did not
make ghusl, they cannot fast that day
(considering their period ended at
night, and they went to bed without
Ghusl, waking up without having a
chance to make it). This is incorrect,
if a women has not made Ghusl she
can still fast.

Focusing on food; to the extent that
people begin to worry about eating
more then actually fasting. This also
goes along with spending tons of
money on Iftaars even though a person
does not need to eat that much food.

Making Suhoor way before Fajr. Some
people eat Suhoor a few hours after
Taraweeh or Isha Salah, this is wrong.
It should be eaten closer to the time of
Fajr.

People don't make Niyyah (intentions)
to fast for Ramadan. This is something
in the heart and does not need to be
verbal. Also it only needs to be done
once, at the beginning of Ramadan and
not every single day.

If you find out late that Ramadan
started, you should stop eating and
fast for that day, making that day up
after Ramadan/Eid ends.

Many people don't think you pray
Taraweeh on the first night of
Ramadan. They believe you pray it after the first day you actually fast. They forget that the Islamic calendar runs on the moon, maghrib is the start of the new day.

Many people believe if you eat or
drink on accident this breaks your
fast. This is false, if you do this on accident then you continue fasting and
do not need to make up the day.

Some people take the opinion that if
they see someone eating or drinking
they should not remind the person that
he/she is fasting. According to Sheikh
Bin Baz (ra), this is incorrect and it is
an order from Allah for us to ordain the
good and forbid the evil. Thus we tell
the person, because we are forbidding
the evil this way.

Abdullahi abba is also a very sound qari from Nigeria... but when it comes to the whole world, i am confused on weda to gv it to sheikh said el ghamdi or mishary rashid alafasy

Ramadan is in its second week now,
and the required dawn-to-dusk
fasting often feels like a daily mini–
marathon. By late afternoon, hunger
and thirst have sucked me dry,
leaving me sleepy, slow-minded,
and sometimes short-tempered.
I know that the purpose of fasting is
spiritual—God will reward us in the
next life—but in this lifetime, fasting
sometimes makes me an ineffective,
irritable person. So I was excited to
learn that Harvard psychiatrist John
Ratey, MD, had spoken at a recent
Renaissance Weekend event about
how caloric restriction can improve
brain function.

I emailed Dr. Ratey to find out if
those benefits might extend to
religious fasting, and he sent me a
2006 paper on the brain functioning
of men during the Ramadan fast. The
researchers studied a small group of
healthy men during and after the
holy month, looking at their brain
activity via functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI). They
concluded that “all individual results
showed consistent and significant
increase of activity in the motor
cortex during fasting.”
Other research shows similar
results

That research builds on the work of
other scientists, including Mark
Mattson, PhD, who heads a
neuroscience lab at the NIH’s
National Institute on Aging. Mattson
has done important research on how
dietary restrictions can significantly
protect the brain from degenerative
diseases like Alzheimer’s or
Parkinson’s.

In a 2003 article, Mattson and others
reported that rats who were deprived
of food every other day, or restricted
to a diet at 30% to 50% of normal
calorie levels, showed not only
decreased heart rates and blood
pressure, but also “younger” brains,
with “numerous age-related
changes in gene expression.”
Mattson and his colleagues also
shared data from research on
humans, which shows that
populations with higher caloric
intakes—such as the United States
and Europe—have a greater
prevalence of Alzheimer’s than do
populations that eat less—such as
China and Japan. The authors
speculate that humans may have
adapted to conditions of feast and
famine; the stress of having little
food, they write, “may induce
changes in gene expression that
result in adaptive changes in cellular
metabolism and the increased
ability of the organism to reduce
stress.”

Although this research is relatively
new, with many questions left
unanswered, the authors conclude
that “it seems a safe bet that if
people would incorporate a spartan
approach to food intake into their
lifestyles, this would greatly reduce
the incidence of Alzheimer’s,
Parkinson’s and stroke.” (Of course,
how this recommendation translates
for individual people remains almost
a complete unknown; consult with
your own doctor before restricting
your diet in dramatic ways.)
But here’s the hard part: Although
we know eating too much leads to
all sorts of health problems, “it has
proven very difficult to successfully
implement prolonged dietary-
restriction regimens,” reports
Mattson and his team. Information
and doctor’s orders are rarely
enough motivation.

This last observation gave me hope,
because it seemed the authors were
overlooking the role of religion; it
can inspire people in ways
information or experts don’t. Would I
be undergoing this rigorous month of
fasting unless I believed strongly it
was the right thing for me to do?
Probably not. And the same goes for
millions of Muslims around the
world.

Science may only now be
discovering that some of these
religious practices, both ancient and
modern, offer nourishment not just
for the soul, but for the body as well.

A LEAKING BUCKET.

You stand up for tahajjud, fast, and obey your Lord but you cut your family ties (a Leaking Bucket)

You claim to be on a fast and you cant even perform 3 out of the 5 daily prayers(a leaking bucket)

You are rich and you claim to be charitable but your family members are strugling for food(a leaking bucket)

You fast and have sabr for the pangs of hunger and thirst but you swear, insult, curse (a Leaking Bucket)

You wear abaya and Hijab but your perfume is strong (a Leaking Bucket)

You honour and are good to your guest but when he leaves you gossip about him and talk about all his flaws (a leaking bucket)

You preach that islam is peace but you are always having quarrels with your neighbours(a leaking bucket)

You call yourself a muslimah but the complete shape of your body is showing in the clothes you put on(a leaking bucket)

Do not gather all your good deeds in a Leaking Bucket. You struggle to fill it whilst it easily runs out through the leaking holes!

Brothers and sisters, let us immediately without delay begin to seal the holes in our leaking buckets.
May Allah make it easy for us all.... Ameen...

No i totally disagreee.. i trust oau engineers we just rest when exams come

congrsts bruh... #surulere

My Brothers and Sisters in Islaam!
You should stop delaying marriage!
Because delaying marriage is harmful
for you!
What is required is to hasten to get
married, and no young man or young
woman should delay marriage for the
sake of studies, because marriage
does not prevent any such thing.
It is possible for a young man to get
married in order to protect his
religious commitment and morals, and
enable him to lower his gaze.
Marriage serves many purposes,
especially in this day and age.
Because delaying it is harmful for both
young women and young men!
Every young man and every young
woman should hasten to get married.
If there is a man who is compatible
with the woman, and if a man can find
the right woman.
Now let me ask you!
How about if you realize that marriage
will protect half of your religion?
How about if you realise that by
getting married, you will have
followed the advice of the Messenger
of Allaah?
How about if you realize that by
producing a righteous child you will
have ongoing charity (sadaqatu
jaariyah)?
if you raise him with good morals and
faith, and you will be rewarded for
your marriage if you seek reward with
Allaah for that.
My fellow Muslims!
Marriage is a source of tranquillity
and peace, and it is the best of the
pleasures of this world.
# May Almighty Allaah make marriage
easy for unmarried men and women!

Marriage Software
This is what a guy wrote to a Systems Analyst -
(Marriage Software Div);
Dear Systems Analyst,
I am desperate for some help! I recently
upgraded my program from Girlfriend 7.0 to
Wife 1.0 and found that the new program began
unexpected Child Processing and also took up a
lot of space and valuable resources.
This wasn't mentioned in the product brochure.
In addition Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other
programs and launches during systems
initialization and then it monitors all other
system activities.
Applications such as "Boys' Night out 2.5" and
"Golf 5.3" no longer run, and crashes the
system whenever selected. Attempting to
operate selected "Soccer 6.3" always fails and
"Shopping 7.1" runs instead. I cannot seem to
keep Wife 1.0 in the background whilst
attempting to run any of my favorite
applications. Be it online or offline.
I am thinking of going back to "Girlfriend 7.0",
but uninstall doesn't work on this program. Can
you please help?
.... The Systems Analyst replied:
Dear Customer,
This is a very common problem resulting from a
basic misunderstanding of the functions of the
Wife 1.0 program. Many customers upgrade
from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that Wife
1.0 is merely a UTILITY AND ENTERTAINMENT
PROGRAM. Actually, Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING
SYSTEM designed by its Creator to run
everything on your current platform.
You are unlikely to be able to purge Wife 1.0
and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0, as Wife
1.0 was not designed to do this and it is
impossible to uninstall, delete or purge the
program files from the System once it is
installed.
Some people have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0
or Wife 2.0 but have ended up with even more
problems. (See manual under Alimony/Child
Support and Solicitors' Fees).
Having Wife 1.0 installed, I recommend you keep
it Installed and deal with the difficulties as best
as you can. When any faults or problems occur,
whatever you think has caused them, you must
run the.........
C:\ APOLOGIZE\ FORGIVE ME.EXE Program and
avoid attempting to use the *Esc-Key for it will
freeze the entire system.
It may be necessary to run C:\ APOLOGIZE\
FORGIVE ME.EXE a number of times, and
eventually hope that the operating system will
return to normal.
Wife 1.0, although a very high maintenance
programme, can be very rewarding.
To get the most out of it, consider buying
additional Software such as "Flowers 2.0" and
"Chocolates 5.0" or "HUGS\ KISSES 600.0" or
"TENDERNESS\ UNDERSTANDING 1000.0" or
even Eating Out Without the Kids 7.2.1" (if Child
processing has already started).
DO NOT under any circumstances install
"Secretary 2.1" (Short Skirt Version) or "One
Nightstand 3.2" (Any Mood Version), as this is
not a supported Application for Wife 1.0 and the
system will almost certainly CRASH.
BEST WISHES!
Yours,
Systems Analyst. Share ur view.

Short STORY:

A lovely little girl was holding two apples with both hands.
Her mum came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile: my sweetie, could you give your mum one of your two apples?
The girl looked up at her mum for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other.
The mum felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment.
Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mum,and said: mummy, here you are. This is the sweeter one.

No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgement. Give others the privilege to explain themselves. What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others.

. "Academic excellence is overrated! Did I just say that? Oh, yes, I said it.Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life. You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else. The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer. The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam. School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination. School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. So do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no, you should. But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class. Don't limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position. Start a business and fail. That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.Join or start a club. Contest an election and lose. It will teach something Political Science 101 will not teach you. Attend a seminar.
