There are moments in life when we feel we’ve done everything right.

You fasted on the white days.
You prayed at Tahajjud when the world slept.
You gave sadaqah with a trembling hope in your heart.
You raised your hands after every prayer, whispering the same dua for a job, a spouse, a visa, a child…

Yet it didn’t happen.

The contract was cancelled.
The proposal was rejected.
The exam was failed.
The visa was denied.
And you’re left wondering, Did Allah not hear me? Did He turn away?

But pause… and reflect.

> "…But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not."

(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:216)



Allah’s wisdom is far above our comprehension. He sees what we don’t. He plans what we can’t.

I know of someone who saved up for years, did everything possible to go for Hajj, but each year, something blocked the way until one day, Allah opened the door in a way he never imagined. He wept not just from joy, but from finally understanding why the earlier delays happened.

I know of a brother who was heartbroken after losing a job contract that he thought would change his life only to return home and find his true change: a pious wife and a peaceful life.

Even for me, I remember once praying earnestly to gain admission into a particular university. I was serious, I fasted, did I’tikaf, made tahajjud… everything. But the admission never came. I was crushed. Four years later, Allah wrote something more beautiful: I was posted there for NYSC and got paid by the same university that once rejected me.

Dear friend, if Allah delays your request, it’s not neglect rather it’s protection.
If He redirects your path, it’s not rejection, it’s mercy.
If He gives you silence instead of a “yes,” it’s because He wants to give you something better than what you asked.

Keep trusting. Keep walking.
One day, you’ll look back and whisper, Alhamdulillah for not getting what I wanted… because what Allah gave was better.

May Allah strengthen our hearts to trust His perfect wisdom and bless us with contentment in His decree.
Ameen.

From Buhari up to Tinubu you see pure cluelessness and stupidity in the power

Nna2025:
Hello Nairalanders, I know we are very sensitive to cheating so I ask for forgiveness.

I had a fling with a girl I have known for sometime now, I used CD but at some point, I used my finger. I started reading about Hiv and the possiblity of contracting it through fingering. Although my readings says % is very low provided there is no fresh injury, however I opted for PEP to calm my nerves. ( Pep is a drug used, when you suspect an exposure to HIV, remember you have 36hours to take it or else it won't work)

I tore off the pack, hid it in something and kept it in my bag. My wife for whatever reason searched my bag, saw it googled it and came back shouting and screaming since last night. My only comment to her is let's go for hiv test And that the drug was for my asthma, I know she wants to take it somewhere for verification.

My only fear now is if I disclose the reason for taking PEP, then my marriage is in danger.


Anything I can do to salvage this situation, I do not have time. Please my people

SmartPolician:
It's even annoying to see Tinubu spending trillions of naira building an unnecessary coastal road than investing that sum in power infrastructure, which is a critical factor of production.

This is why White South Africans repeatedly argued throughout the Apartheid era that the black man lacks the mental capacity to rule himself. To date, purely black African countries are still the poorest in the world.

JagabanBorgu:
U all think war is a straight line until it starts, if Germany could run through Europe during world war II and it took a huge coalition spending blood and sweat to stop them.
Don't think this will be different, China will mostly likely team up with Russia, same as Iran and a few others, this will be more terrible than what the Germans, Japanese and Italians did during world war II.
Those in power knows this, that's why they are not outrightly àttàcking Russia.

WritterNg:
He's right.

Russia is the largest country on earth. No army on earth can cover an area that size. Not even 80 million troops. The US can barely mobilize 2 million troops.

Russia has the largest mineral reserves on earth. Rare earth metals and others in abundance.

Russia has the largest missile arsenal on earth. And the largest and most diverse nuclear arsenal.

Russia is backed by China & India and the rest of Asia (4 billion people). All nuclear armed btw.

So how on earth do you expect the US to win against Russia? Even with the help of NATO.

Viral video of Nigerian footballer Victor Boniface and popular skit maker Phoebe.

In the trending clip, Boniface is seen enjoying a delicious meal cooked by Phoebe for him and his friends. He was heard saying, “She brought food for me and my friends and it’s actually good, but she forgot chicken — no problem.”

Phoebe quickly replied, “You were rushing me! You said I should be fast!”
Victor, in playful pidgin, fired back, “No be you tell me say you dey do work? I was hungry!”

He then gave a thumbs up and praised the meal, saying, “The food is actually nice.”
Phoebe couldn't hide her excitement and burst into a happy dance in response to Victor’s rating.

Watch the video and drop your thoughts!

I thought this news is about Obi cajoling the North. Why are you guys could not sleep until you mentioned Tinubu in every news and this did not just start today but even long time before he became president. You guys are born haters

chidiokay:
Oga talk is cheap, We were not born yesterday, We have seen people who showed more activism and rational reasoning get to power n change.

Obi have 8yrs as a governor, did he capitalize and maximize the resources of Anambra.
i just feel Obi know his audience and just say what they want to hears

Nothing about Obi validate is production oriented or driven

When you are exposed, you are exposed.

Only those in the villages or those whom the villages is still inside them will disrespect elders. They are used to waking up their papas with a back kick.

Why is she giving Jack Sparrow vibes like this...

Luckysbab:
Stop talking nonsense. 2 units of their currency. So why are they not earning 250,000 units of their currency monthly?

The price of that should be benchmarked against the average salary there.

rinzaugustine:
Sad Some hours back boko just disarm full barracks for maiduguri carry Nigeria tax payers sweat in form of weapons and these our leaders are doing nothing!!! Very rare to see Infantry soldiers carrying AK 47 crying like women. Wow the video made me cry.. I can't post it here. Facebook rules.

That was exactly what happened when ISWAP terrorists overran a military facility in the Marte local government of Borno state and kpaied scores of soldiers. They also burnt down their shelters.

This should provoke the military and carry out the final push against the terrorists and the bandits. I saw so many bodies covered with leaves. The body's legs and hands were tight with robes before they were kpaied.

There were indications that some soldiers were taken away as slaves. Who are the people that don't want the insecurity to stop DSS should do their work to identify them. ISIS were defeated in Iraq .

Zulum in recent times have been shouting that bokoharam iswap fighters now use drones to monitor troops movement and they're growing stronger.

Please my strong and brave soldiers friends and family stay strong..

Stop this inferiority complex narratives.

Ostentatious living knows no skin colour. The very people who invented class commodities and superiority standards are the Whites.

Let's stop this "oyibo that Nigeria this" narrative. It's slavish!
