The security should have taken over the place. Imagine the way the so called opposition are disgracing themselves

If they can't put ordinary their party together, how can then unite Nigerians?

Ruling on the one who mocks a Muslim woman wearing the proper Islamic Hijab (veil)

Q 2: What is the ruling on someone who mocks a Muslim woman wearing the proper Islamic Hijab (veil) or describes her as being a ghost or a moving tent and other such insulting words?

A: Anyone who mocks a Muslim man or woman for adhering to the Shariah (Islamic law) is a Kafir (disbeliever).

This is regardless of whether they are making fun of a Muslim woman wearing the proper Islamic Hijab or any other matter of the Shari…ah.

…Abdullah ibn …Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated:

During the campaign of Tabuk a man said in an assembly, …I have never seen anyone like these Qur‘an readers of ours. They have the biggest bellies, the most lying tongues and they are the most cowardly when encountering the enemy.‘

Another man said, …You are lying, and you are a hypocrite. I will most certainly tell the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) [what you have said].‘ The news was reported to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), then the Qur‘an was revealed (concerning this incident).

…Abdullah ibn …Umar said, …I saw him (that man) hanging onto the saddle of the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah, (peace be upon him), stumbling over the stones while saying, …O Messenger of Allah, we were just jesting and playing.‘

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was reciting the Qur‘anic Ayah (verse): Was it at Allah (Exalted and Sublime), and His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger (peace be upon him) that you were mocking? Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals.)

Thus, ridiculing the believers is equated with ridiculing Allah, His Signs and His Messenger.

May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!

Have you ever stepped on a deadly snake? I did today—and I’m still shaking!

Today, I went to my papa’s farm to harvest some plantains. As I reached for one, something under my feet started moving violently, like the ground was alive.

I looked down… and OMO 😳—I was standing on a massive Gabon viper… with BOTH feet!

I screamed and ran, but fear made me trip, fall, get up, and almost fell again. My heart almost jumped out of my chest!

Somehow, I grabbed a stick and was able to kill it.

Never in my life have I felt fear like that. One moment, I was calm… the next, I was literally running for my life!

Anyway if you around Ondo Town, you may holla me for a tasty snake pepper soup.

Hello Nairalanders, I'm seeking advice on a sensitive issue.

After the first round of intimacy with my wife, I often lose interest in going for a second round.

I'm 31, and we've been trying for a child, but I'm worried this might be affecting our chances. Is this normal? Are there any underlying issues I should be concerned about? Should I consult a doctor or a relationship counselor? I'd appreciate any guidance or suggestions.

Sonnobax15:

Na so..

The joy of seeing your mom,in fact your parents grow old together is second to none...

Sometimes,I wish my mom was still alive cuz she was certainly the only one who understood me... Definitely,I wouldn't have made alot of mistakes I've made so far......

People wey get lovin' mother's no know wetin God do for Dem...

May the soul of my mom and every other mother keep on RIP🙏

Sonnobax15:

Give answer to the message and don't attack the messenger.....But hell no!!! The Nigerians whom I know so well would rather want to kill the messenger than get the message he's trying to convey..

Anyways,No Nigerian politician,both dead and alive is a saint.....My only problem is that some people try as much as possible to paint a certain people to be,and very try to pin their opinions on us,as if we don't have our own opinions as humans .

But then again,did PO build any school when he was the governor of Anambra state? I want a genuine answer to this,from an indigene of Anambra state and not from a stranger..

Swipe left. Swipe right. Repeat.

For every one genuine-looking profile on Tinder, you’ll find fifteen more selling something — a fantasy, a body, or a lifestyle. Let’s be honest: what used to be a dating app has quietly evolved into a digital marketplace.

A guy once said, laughing,

“Bro, na hookup site be dating site now.”

And he’s right.

Because these days, “Let’s hang out” usually translates to “Pay to play.” Conversations that used to start with “What’s your favorite movie?” now begin with “What can you offer?”

The romance has been replaced by negotiation.
The affection, by transaction.
And the connection? Well, that’s usually temporary — gone as soon as the bank alert hits.

Hookup culture has flooded the streets — and the screens — so badly that genuine dating feels like a lost art. Everyone’s performing; few are connecting.
You’ll see bios that say “No hookups” but read like price lists in disguise.

It’s a strange new world where beauty is currency, and emotions are collateral. People are no longer dating — they’re bartering.

And yet, no one seems surprised.

Maybe it’s because we all secretly know that the line between “dating” and “deal-making” has long disappeared. What we’re left with is a culture where affection has a price tag and love has become a luxury item few can afford.

So the next time someone says,

“There are no real dating sites anymore…”

Don’t argue. Just smile and ask,
“Who did this to us?”

That's the most abused function on the iphone...90% of people who uses DND in Nigeria are either nuisance or mad people especially these genz.
I do logistics and imagine all of these customers phone is always on DND almost Everytime.

Firebomber:
Can you please tell us the name of that religion of moses? 😂 You people are not that smart.

You mean until Islam came and invaded them in the name of caliphate war

brain54:
Exactly...

The people practicing Islam had a prior religion. Mecca, medina etc where originally idol worshipers before they embraced Islamic religion.

Religion should be separated from the argument of who occupied the land first is the part they are not getting!

Let’s be brutally honest — Black Tax is slavery dressed up as culture.

For those unfamiliar, Black Tax is the cultural expectation that once you start earning, your salary belongs not just to you, but to your parents, siblings, cousins — sometimes even uncles and aunties.
Sounds noble, right? But here’s the hard truth:

Many people in their 20s and 30s especially firstborns are stuck living like they’re still broke, not because they don’t earn, but because their family’s demands never end.
Everywhere in Africa, once you start earning, you’re automatically turned into the family’s ATM especially when not born with a silver spoon . It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out, if your salary is small, or if you’re struggling yourself — the moment you collect that paycheck, you owe everybody.

They call it “responsibility.” But let’s tell the truth:

It’s financial exploitation.

It’s entitlement disguised as love.

It’s one of the biggest reasons young Africans will NEVER break generational poverty.

The Trap

A graduate earns ₦70k.

₦20k to mum.

₦15k to dad.

₦10k to sibling.

Another cousin calls for school fees.

Uncle calls for “urgent 5k.”

At the end of the month, guess what’s left? Zero.
No savings. No investment. No future. Just endless poverty cycle.

And when you dare say “No,” you’re suddenly the wicked, ungrateful child.

The Irony

Here’s the painful part:

The same parents who drained their kids often never saved or invested when they were young.
They now dump the responsibility of their own financial failure on their children.

Instead of empowering the next generation, they enslave them with guilt.

And let’s be real — how many families use this money wisely?
At times, it goes into wasteful spending while the “breadwinner” suffers in silence.

The Hard Truth Nobody Wants to Hear

If African youth keep paying endless Black Tax, nobody will ever be rich.
One person cannot save a whole clan. Period.

👉 A child’s duty is not to fund laziness, poor planning, or entitlement.
👉 If you destroy your own financial future to please family, you will just create another generation of broke people.

The Conversation We Need

Should young Africans build themselves first before carrying family on their back?

Is saying “NO” selfish, or the only way to break free?

At what point does “support” turn into slavery?

Until we face the truth, Black Tax will keep Africa chained to poverty.

What’s your take?
Are we ready to break this culture, or are we too afraid of being called “selfish”?
