ExAngel007: A man from northern Nigeria has said that only Islamic law can change Nigeria.
The social media user with the handle @sarki_sultan posted:
According to the social media user's bio, he lives in the UK.
This comes amid outrage over President Bola Tinubu attending the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, earlier this week, with Nigerians asking if Nigeria is now an Islamic nation.
It also comes just two weeks after a bill seeking to make Sharia law not just a personal matter in the constitution was rejected in the House of Representatives.
Bamidele Salam, a lawmaker from Osun State, said the bill should be rejected because it has the potential to derail the freedom enjoyed by all religions in Nigeria.
BlindAngel: Good evening Nairalanders, few months ago I posted here regarding how my wife forced me into marriage that I wasn't in anyway ready for because she got pregnant. I posted about the regret I'm still battling until date, because the love isn't there from my own end and I'm also not in anyway attracted to her physically. I have told her severally that I want to option out of the marriage and not doing again but until date she has refused to let me go.
Back to the main point, my wife lost her dad this morning. Her deceased dad has two wife's and several concubines that gave birth to lots of children, my wife doesn't know some of her half brothers and sisters.
So I went to their family house this morning to console them. The eldest son of the family (her half brother) told me and another in law that we'd be the one to pay for mortuary expenses and casket, and when the burial is getting closer they'd give us a list of things to buy and we'd both bring one goats each.
To be brutally honest I wasn't mad because of this latest expense, I got furious immediately and right on the spot because of the pressure my wife pressured me into getting married to her, by now I'd have been totally free of these unnecessary expenses. More than 19 of her sisters, both biological and half sisters that has given birth, no single expense was listed for their man that they got pregnant for and has a child for. But I and the other in law that paid dowry are the one going through these unnecessary expenses.
So immediately he told me about everything, I charged at my wife right on the spot, right in front of her mom, her brothers, her sisters and some of her friends that came for condolence visit. I got so furious and started shouting at the top of my voice, I reminded her how she forced me into marriage that I'm not in anyway prepared and ready for, both physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially. (I have been reminding her regarding this almost on a daily basis and whenever we are quarreling.
I reminded her how she threatened me with suicide and our of fear of the unknown I wasted almost 4m in getting married to her. I told her that I'd have been free of these expenses if not for her pressure.
Immediately she burst into tears, and started crying endlessly.
Her mom and sisters started yelling at me and I yelled back at all of them. They told me I met her a Virgin and now she's no longer good for me (truly, the whole family thought that I was the one that took her virginity) My wife and I agreed to keep it a secret, but the constant remainder from her mom and sisters made me let the cat out of the bag, I told them that I didn't met her a Virgin that she has already started having sex when I met her, they didn't believe me but with my tone, I know they'd.
I also made mentioned that I'm not buying any goat or paying for mortuary or taking any list from them. That it's their dad and they should take care of every responsibilities, after all he has uncountable children, why putting some of the expense on me? I walked away, and switched off my phone until now that I'm just putting it on.
I know that I acted wrongly and allowed my anger to get the best part of me. But I was furious because no single bill went to her sister's baby father's, absolutely nothing was listed for them. I got furious because these expenses won't be on me right now if not for her pressuring me into marriage that I want ready for. I was furious because I and the other in law that they billed became the scape goat by doing the right thing by getting married and not leaving theirs daughter In ruins, where as those that got their daughter pregnant without getting married to them were totally free from these unnecessary bills. I'm in so much pains and regret right now.
Gistmedia10: In a shocking incident that left residents in awe, a coconut tree was seen engulfed in flames shortly after being struck by lightning. Footage from the scene shows the tree ablaze, with flames licking up its trunk and branches, creating a dramatic sight that had never been witnessed by the locals before.
Amidst the chaos, residents could be heard screaming in disbelief, "Coconut don catch fire ooh!" The unusual event sparked curiosity and fear, prompting many to gather around to witness the extraordinary occurrence.
One netizen commented, explaining the science behind such phenomena: "According to research, lightning can strike a tree and cause it to catch fire. This is known as a lightning-induced fire or lightning-ignited wildfire.
When lightning strikes a tree:
Electrical Discharge: The lightning bolt creates an electrical discharge that can heat the tree's moisture to extreme temperatures. Ignition: The heat generated by the discharge can ignite the tree's sap, resin, or other flammable materials. Fire Spread: The fire can spread quickly through the tree's branches and roots, fueled by oxygen and combustible materials."
