THE STORY OF OUR BELOVED PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM) AND THE SOUR GRAPES!! Must read!! Whenever they reaped their first harvest, they brought early, fresh fruits to Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he would distribute them among his companions (Sahabah), those who sat around him. One day a poor man brought a bunch of grapes to the Holy Prophet Muhammad as a gift. He was very excited to be able to bring a gift for the Prophet (peace be upon him). He placed the grapes beside the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, ‘O Prophet of Allah, please accept this small gift from me’. He was a poor man who could not afford more. His face beamed with happiness as he offered his small gift. It was evident that he loved the Prophet a lot. The Prophet (peace be upon him) thanked him graciously. As the man looked at him expectantly, the Prophet ate one grape. Then he ate another one. Slowly the Prophet finished the whole bunch of grapes by himself. He did not offer grapes to anyone present. The poor man who brought those grapes was very pleased and left. The companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) who were around him were surprised. Usually the Prophet (peace be upon him) shared whatever he got with them. He would offer them whatever he was given and they would eat it together. Usually he would start first, out of respect to the person who had given him the gift. But he would always offer it to others. This time had been different. Without offering it to anyone, the Prophet (peace be upon him) finished the bunch of grapes by himself. One of the companions asked respectfully, "O Prophet of Allah! How come you ate all the grapes by yourself and did not offer to any one of us present?” The holy Prophet (peace be upon him) smiled and said, "I ate all the grapes by myself because the grapes were sour. If I would have offered you, you might have made funny faces and shown your distaste of the grapes. That would have hurt the feelings of that poor man. I thought to myself that it's better that I eat all of them cheerfully and please the poor man. I did not want to hurt the feelings of that poor man." Moral: 1) Consideration for the feelings of others 2) Graciousness in accepting gifts. Subhan'Allah.. Such was the character and manner of our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him).

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 42-year-
old cleric, Pastor Chidiebere Ikpa, for allegedly raping his
stepdaughter, Ngozi (pseudonym), in the Surulere area of
the state.
Ikpa, who denied the allegation, told PUNCH Metro that it
was a neighbour, whom he identified only as Richard, that
defiled the 14-year-old girl, but he decided not to report
the matter to the police because he (Ikpa) had a forgiving
character.
However, Ngozi, a Senior Secondary class 2 pupil, who
eventually reported the incident to the police last Friday,
January 15, insisted that she was raped by the pastor on
several occasions.
She added that whenever she told her mother about it, she
usually shouted her down, and refused to take any action
on the matter.
Our correspondent learnt that Ikpa, who hails from the
Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, was arrested
by policemen from the Isokoko division, while Ngozi was
taken for medical examination at the Mirabel Centre, Ikeja.
The test reportedly confirmed that the girl’s private parts
had been “tampered with.”
A police source told PUNCH Metro that Ngozi reported
that Ikpa had allegedly been sleeping with her since she
was 10 years old and was the one who deflowered her.
She said, “The victim claimed that the suspect deflowered
her when she was 10 years. He had allegedly been
sexually molesting the girl since that time.
“The victim’s mother is culpable because she knew about
the abuses. The girl said it was when her mother failed to
take concrete steps that she came to the police.”
Speaking with PUNCH Metro , the pastor said he flogged
the girl last Thursday and she disappeared from the
house, not knowing she came to the police to lie against
him.
He said, “The girl started living with me when she was 12
or thereabout. That was around 2012. It is not true that I
raped her. I flogged her on Thursday for being rude and
she did not return home after school. We did not see her
until Friday. She had been with the police.
“The girl has a boyfriend; his name is Richard. He is the
manager of a hotel on Rasak Balogun Street. If the
medical result shows someone has been sleeping with
Ngozi, then it is Richard, not me.
“It is a mystery to me that the girl is claiming that I slept
with her. When we caught Richard and confronted him
sometime last year, he started begging. The mistake I
made was that I did not report to the police.
“My wife got furious and said we must report the matter to
the police, but the man started begging, sending text
messages to me. I forgave him. I am a pastor.
“I was working under a church, but since I moved to this
area, I have not pastored any church.”
The victim, Ngozi, told our correspondent that Ikpa was
lying and he had slept with her on several occasions.
She said, “The first time that he would rape me was about
five years ago. My mother sent me to give food to him in
his own house. I was then staying in my father’s house.
That was when he took advantage of me and raped me.
“The man he mentioned is not my boyfriend. Richard was
the man I reported to when I told my mother about the
rape and she did not believe me. Richard advised me to
leave everything to God.
“Sometimes, when everyone was sleeping, he would
come to the room where I was with my other sisters and
he would rape me. I would be hitting my sisters trying to
wake them, but they did not wake at such times.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo
Badmos, confirmed the pastor’s arrest.
She said, “The pastor’s arrest is confirmed. He was
transferred from FESTAC to the Isokoko division for
prosecution.”

We don’t have money to complete our secretariat – PDP The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has declared that it no longer has money to complete its multi-billion naira new national secretariat. The new secretariat is located at the Central Business District, Abuja. Our correspondent, who has been visiting the secretariat for some time, observed that contractors handling the project were only doing skeletal jobs at the site. When our correspondent visited the site on Wednesday, there was no visible job being done there. It was gathered that the project was billed to cost N11.5bn when it was awarded some years ago. Once completed, the building will comprise 12 floors, including a parking space in two floors. But the party said the hope of completing the secretariat lies on its ability to secure the services of a developer that would handle it, with an agreement on how it would recoup its money. The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated this in an exclusive interview with our correspondent in Abuja on Wednesday. Metuh also debunked the rumour making the rounds that members of the National Working Committee of the party got a huge sum of money from the fund realised for its Presidential campaign early in the year. He said, “During our sales of forms, we had planned to use substantial part of the money to complete the secretariat. “We also had a fund-raising dinner where money was raised and we were told that about N21bn was raised and that some of it would be given to us for the completion of the secretariat but we didn’t see the money.” It will be recalled that a former Minister of Information and the Chairman of the party’s Fund-raising Committee, Prof. Jerry Gana, had said the controversial N21.8bn donated to the party by individuals, the party’s serving governors and private consortium was not meant for the presidential campaign of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan alone. He was responding to criticisms that trailed the donation, as majority of the then governors owed workers’ salaries of their states. Beside, the money raised was beyond the amount stipulated in the Electoral Act for political parties to seek votes for their presidential candidates. Gana had said, “This administration of the party under our able chairman resolved that we must complete this (new secretariat) project so that we can move in there, and so, part of the preparations for this year’s campaign is for us to raise funds and I had the honour of leading a very distinguished team of Nigerians to prepare for the fund raising. “We raised about N21bn on that day. The purpose of this press conference is to say that right from the start, we were raising money for the PDP and the project of the party, the documents and letters said so, the speeches confirmed it and during the day of the fund raising, in my own speech and the speech of the Vice President who happens to be an architect, there was a specific focus on this building–that this is one project we want to complete. “The Vice President, being an architect, gave graphic details of where we were on this project and how we desire to be. Therefore, the central aim of the fund-raising is to empower the party to complete this building and other projects.” Metuh also told our correspondent that the money the national leadership of the party had kept aside to use for the secretariat from the amount generated from the sales of forms was spent. He said that the NWC was asked to divert the amount to the campaign of its governorship candidates during the last elections. He said that the directive came after the party had lost the Presidential election to the All Progressives Congress. Metuh said, “The one (money) we kept for the completion of the secretariat, after we lost the presidential election. We were directed to divert the funds to the campaign organisation (of our governorship candidates). “So, we channelled it directly to our governorship candidates across the country in over 30 states and other candidates in the House of Assemblies. “That really depleted the funds of the party and almost brought it to ground zero. “As we speak, we don’t have funds for the completion of the new secretariat. The acting chairman of the NWC would take the issue to the national caucus to know how we can engage the services of developers on some arrangements.”

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (rahimahullah) gave the following advice to his son on his wedding day: Dear son, you will not attain good fortune in your home except by 10 characteristics which you show to your wife, so remember them and be enthusiastic in acting upon them. 1. & 2. As for the first two; women like attention and they like to be told clearly that they are loved. So don’t be stingy in expressing your love for your wife. If you become limited in expressing your love, you will create a barrier of harshness between you and her, and there will be a decrease in affection.
3. Ladies hate a strict, overcautious man, yet they seek to use the soft vulnerable one. So use each quality appropriately. This will be more appealing for love and it will bring you peace of mind.
4. Ladies like from their husbands what their husbands like from them, i.e. kind words, good looks, clean clothes and a pleasant odour. Therefore, always remain in that state.
5. Indeed, the house is under the sovereignty of the woman. While she remains therein, she feels that she is sitting upon her throne, and that she is the chief of the house . Stay clear of destroying this kingdom of hers and do not ever attempt to dethrone her, otherwise you will be trying to snatch her sovereignty. A king gets most angry at he who tries to strip him of his authority, even if he portrays to show something else
6. A woman wants to love her husband, but at the same time she does not want to lose her family. So do not put yourself and her family in the same scale, because then her choice will be down to either you or her family. And even if she does choose you over her family, she will remain in anxiety, which will then turn into hatred towards you in your daily life.
7. Surely woman has been created from a curved rib, and this is the secret of her beauty, and the secret of the attraction towards her. And this is no defect in her, because ‘the eyebrows look beautiful due to them being curved’. So if she errs, do not rebuke her in a manner in which there is no gentleness, attempting to straighten her; otherwise you will simply break her and her breaking, is her divorce. At the same time do not let her off upon that mistake, otherwise her crookedness will increase and she will become arrogant with her ego. Thereafter, she will never soften for you and she won’t listen to you, so stay in between the two.
8. It is in the women’s nature to be ungrateful towards their husbands and to deny favours. If you were to be nice to her for her whole life but you grieved her once, she will say, “I have never seen any good from you”. So don’t let this attitude of her make you dislike her or to run away from her. If you dislike this feature of hers, you will be pleased with some other good habits within her, so create a balance.
9. Surely there are times when a woman goes through some conditions of bodily weakness and fatigue of the mind. Such that Allah has relieved her of some of her compulsory worships during that period; Allah has totally pardoned her from praying, and has postponed the days of fasting for her within this break to a later date until she regains her health and becomes normal in her temperament once more. Thus, during these days, treat her in a godly manner. Just as Allah has relieved her of the duties, you should also lessen your demands and instructions from her during those days.
10. Last but not least, know that a woman is like a captive with you. Therefore, have mercy upon her. - Translated by Shaykh Abdul Rahim

What I learnt from the death of Alhaji Abubakar Audu.....

Just when his family were about to start jubilating, they were thrown into mourning.

Just when the wife was thinking about being a first lady, she became a widow.

Just when the children were about to become the children of the number one citizen of their state, they became orphans.

Just when the world was about to rejoice with them, they were thrown into aw.

Life is not a bed of roses, never feel too comfortable & too pompous, always be prayerful bcoz nobody knows what will happen in the next seconds...
