Travel / Re: This Is The Beautiful Kaduna City (pictures) by Trottle: 2:42pm On May 24, 2023 |
Kaduna is quite beautiful and one of the top 10 states in Nigeria by aesthetics, trade and investment. (Northern) Kaduna, Lagos, Calabar were planned by the Colonialist. Kaduna's case is unique as it was only a hamlet when the Brits came. So it was planned from the scratch that's why it has no traditional ruler. Till today the traces are there, too bad we veered off the blueprint. Though Gov. El-Rufai ought to have done better in the southern part of the city and region. 2 Likes 1 Share |

maleekberry: Those products are way past their maturity stage, they are fast declining. What the company should have done was repackage and relaunch them. They'll not do aggressive marketing. Why? They consider themselves a giant and far to big to do street marketing. Small FMCG companies looking to gain market share and survive will do all sort of marketing and employ various tactics. Once they become very comfortable, they also loose guard! Nevertheless, this'll affect the market end-to-end. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Empiree: Salam sir and Jummat Mubarak. Quick questions please, from your answer, it seemsb the major way one's Qareen can get compromised is through sorcery. Also can major sins also contribute to this, and what are the general internal and external symptoms that shows this? Side question, do you think closely associating with someone (friend) you're incompatible with in the affairs of the duniya (work, business, leisure, outlook to life etc) affect you (and your Qareen) spiritually and pose obstacles to you in the affairs of Alamul-Ghaib? Also, I feel a compromised Qareen can also affects the person's auric field as they possibly go hand-in-hand. Kindly help clarify. CC: Alhajiemeritus, Movado19, Ladunal, Aadozia and Co.

Family / Re: A Lot Of Marriages Now Crashing Within 3 Months by Trottle: 11:20am On Nov 03, 2022 |
The trend is very worrying to be sincere. However, when we choose to discard the old-age wisdom of doing in-depth background check and ensuring the necessary virtues and qualities are in place, and 'true' love/lost is not the main motivation to marry this is what we'll keep getting. As youths we should also stop marrying to 'pepper' anybody, you'll be doing your mental health a disservice and also putting undue stress in your nascent marriage because you'll keep have to try to keep measuring up and ensure that the false picture you painted is not tainted. Marriage is not a 100x100 metres relay race, you don't have to rush or go into it for flimsy reasons. Returning to the old (gold) standard will reverse this madness. CC: MalignantGuest 4 Likes |

Food / Re: Twitter User Cries Out Over “Fake” Bama Mayonnaise by Trottle: 10:25pm On Aug 31, 2022 |
franchasofficia: Well on point. This is very true, and partly why startup mortality is higher in Nigeria than other part of the world. As a budding entrepreneur and one who has worked in the FMCG industry, I see this happening often and often. If you want to introduce a new indigenous product and get distributors, no matter how of superior quality it is, you will seriously struggle and might give up out of frustration, except you are rugged and have few loyal people who believe in your product. Many brands are now dead due to this factor. As a matter of fact, that was what led some of our shoe producers in Aba and other parts of the country out of frustration to start emblazoning made-in-China, Turkey, Italy to gain some patronage. Strangely, they start getting serious patronage. We understand that some upcoming brands might not get it 100% right from the get go, but as time goes on, they'll improve tremendously. And this is one of the price we have to pay if we want to break the monopoly, get qualitative prices and build indigenous brands. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Crime / Re: The Yahoo Business And The Future Of Nigerian Youths by Trottle: 2:27pm On Aug 31, 2022 |
Op, the issue of yahoo-yahoo and related vices are systemic issue where only one party cannot be blamed. The country has let everyone down. Poverty rate is very high, few jobs, no good road, electricity, biting inflation etc. To be a well-behaved citizen is more harder than the opposite in this country of ours. For example, hardly will you find public dustbins in our streets. Where there's one, there's no maintenance. So what do you do as an upright citizen? Put the wrapping in your pocket or wallet till you get home? Another scenario, ASUU has been on strike, but we watch our government lavish the money for education on frivolous issues. Like they say an idle man is a devil's workshop. These youth are bustling with zeal and passion to earn and contribute. But when all reasonable doors are closed, what should they do? Though Yahoo-yahoo is dangerously rising, but I've known and met far more hard working and dedicated youths like me that just want to make an honest living than the former. For if you corner a goat to the wall with no option of escape, it MUST bite you! Fix electricity, our roads, security and easy access to capital to start business and revamp our trade schools to modern standards. Then watch the vice go down. In the unlikely scenario that it does not go down, make it a law to punish offenders with minimum of 5 years imprisonment without an option of fine. ... 49 Likes 3 Shares |

Empiree: Jazakhumullah for this Ya Shekih. But I have some ensuing observations. From the video above, it can be deduced THAT Nabi Isa (A) is not coming back... However I have some grey areas I'd like that you should help clarify. Following your last discussions on this topic few threads back, is it safe to say that: 1. Both Dajjal and Yajuj wa Majuj will be dealt with by Allah only through Imam Mahdi (A)? Because I also believe 2. During the Persecution of Nabi Isa by Rum then, did he in any way died during or after the persecution? 3. Would we in anyway have alliance with the Christians during these end times? What does Q5:82 speak about when it says: "You will surely find the most bitter towards the believers to be the Jews and polytheists and the most gracious to be those who call themselves Christian. That is because there are priests and monks among them and because they are not arrogant". Thanks.... 1 Like |
Islam for Muslims / Re: ...... by Trottle: 5:32pm On Jul 14, 2022 |
The general president of the High Council is the Rasul of Allah (saw). If he doesn’t attend a meeting then the Perfect Man (Insan al-kamil) of that time attends in his place. The rank of the Perfect Man is the highest rank and only one person every few centuries is given this rank on earth. The Reviver comes every century. His duty is to revive the religion according to the current understanding of the century. He is also a member of the Council. The final Reviver is known as the Mahdi. The Mahdi is also the Perfect Man. The Ghawth is both the chairman, when the Rasul (saw) isn’t present, and the Chief of Executers. The Qutb al-Irshad works in the area of astrology and manifesting the effects of various stars and planetary constellations upon the people and the jinn. The Qutb al-Aqtab relays the decisions of the Ghawth to those of concern. Even the saint of the jinn who attends the Council receives orders from the Qutb al-Aqtab. The executers are like an army. They are responsible for executing the decisions made by the Council. Their commander in chief is the Ghawth of that time. The Qutb al-Aqtab is like a Chief of Defense. Then comes the 4’s, then the 7’s who have some degree of administrative function, then the 12’s, the 40’s and then the 300’s, who are actually 313 in number. After them, the 1200’s and after them the local Qutbs take charge. Only a few of these saints in the Council and the Executers have reached the station of Self Conquest (fath), while some of them have reached the station of Unveiling (kashf). The rest fulfill their function without knowing. Abdulqadir al-Jilani is known as the The Great Ghawth (Ghawth al-Azam) because he was not only the Ghawth of his time but also the Perfect Man. The second Perfect Man is Abdulkareem al-Jili. He has written many books on the Reality and Marifatullah (gnosis), the most popular one being ‘The Perfect Man’. (It is my firm belief that Sheikh Ibrahim Niyass was one of the Ghawths too and the writer stated the Grand Sheikhs well familiar to him Wallahu Alam). The people of Self-Conquest are aware of everything that transpires on Earth. The knowledge of the people of unveiling on the other hand is limited to their field of duty. Every saint on duty knows others on his level and the one below him. The higher group is known only to the head of the lower group. Other than of course, those who can attend the Council – who obviously know who their superiors are by means of the Council meetings. Among them are Indonesians, Africans, Arabs, Pakistanis, Afghans, Turks and saints from other races. https://www.ahmedhulusi.org/en/book/the-human-enigma-2/the-men-saints-of-the-unknown-rijal-al-ghaib Man (The Perfect Men) is truly a special and the only entity fit for vicegerency for he is not only destined for earthly deputization but far beyond... 3 Likes |

ikupakuti: Here's Ahmed Hulusi's explanation on Rijal Ghaib butressing Sheikhs Ladunal and Ikupakuti's discourse a few years ago The Men (Saints) of the Unknown (Rijal Al-Ghaib) The spiritually tasked men known as the “The Men of the Unknown” are of two groups: a. The administrators b. The executers The administrators are also known as The Council (Diwan) or The High Council (Diwan al-Kabir). They conduct two types of meetings: 1. Monthly meetings, which occur on the 14th night adjoining the 15th of every lunar month, at various places. 2. Annual meetings, conducted at the Mount Hira, where the Rasul of Allah (saw) retreated before he was assigned as a Rasul. Most of the members of the High Council are the great saints who have already made their transition to the life after death, while a third of them comprise the high degreed saints who are presently in servitude on Earth. The High Council consists of 66 members. Amongst these are the Ghawth, his two assistants, Qutb al-Irshad, and Qutb al-Aqtab, and 4 other Qutbs, who administer 4 elements, all of the 7’s, and 11 others besides the administrative chamber of the Ghawth known as the ‘Mufarridoon’. This council makes decisions regarding the necessary precautions that need to be taken on behalf of existence based on divine knowledge. These decisions are then passed on to the Executers... 4 Likes |

movado19: Salam Everyone. It's being a while here o. May God keep enriching us in knowledge, health and wealth. Interesting discourses and we are learning from the shadows o @Great exposition there Ma'am @Movado19. As regards to death and Barzakh, Almighty Allah has already placed the key to our salvation in our hands and also given us a blank sheet with a pen—through prayers, we should customize how we want our Post-Duniya journey to be (though Destiny will always play its role overall). For <10minutes or less everyday, these two Surahs, can be completed. Or better still, Suratul Yasin in the morning, Suratul Mulk in the evening. If we feel lazy to take the Mushaf, 'Quran' apps on our phone can come to the rescue. May Allah aid us. Suratul Yasin and Suratul Mulk are extremely beneficial to the dead as we have learnt. With Suratul Yasin in this case being a sort of "generalist", while Surtual Mulk being a sort of "Specialist". I believe Suratul Yasin is like a constant companion after death like you described, one that keeps you positive, ensure you have the needed provisions for various stages, strengthen you, bolster your confidence, enlighten your grave and treats you like royalty and beyond. From what we've read, understood and deduced, based on status and level of devotion of the person, some might start enjoying this while on earth till Qiyam (protection from enemies, ample provision, Allah's satisfaction, nearness to the pure beings etc), some moments before death till Qiyam (Angels, Ruhanniyas etc visiting you, give you glad tidings in words/vision, comfort you and strengthen you to die as a Mumin etc) , some immediately after death till Qiyam (The pure beings along with the Humans pray Janazah on you, seek for Allah's blessings and forgiveness for you, comfort and accompany you to the grave), some experience it in the grave till Qiyam etc. Alhamdulilah, as long as we are sincerely engage in it's recitation no matter the level of frequency (though benefits may differ) we'll get to experience the benefits on earth and Insha Allah, till Al-Qiyam. Also, we learnt that Suratul Mulk is also a protector in the grave and the hereafter, enlighten your grave, shields you from any form of 'fear and harassment' before any serious questions from the "Interrogators". More like you're a "special candidate" and after death, no being/entity including the "emissaries" treats you harshly even in the subtlest of ways. I also learnt from an amazing scholar here that Suratul Mulk still plays another function in connection to the Duniya, it prevents the physical body of a constant reciter from falling into harm and desecration by grave robbers/ritualists and other forms of humiliating damage. Masha Allah, how amazing. What do you think about Ya Hayyu Ya Qoyyum and it's connection to death and Barzakh? Because some of the earthly benefits explained to us is that we get to live long on this earth. I feel similar thing goes for our non earthly life, where the reciter gets to live in dimensions that may not be available to others courtesy of their devotion to Duas/Zikrs such as Ya Hayyu Ya Qoyyum. Based on the little I know and experienced, I believe that incorporating it to our regular Azkhar and utilizing it as a devotional Dua can after death preserve one's body (no decomposition of sort, the body looks alive and sleeping even though hundreds or thousands of years have passed) and aid the dead person seamlessly transverse through the worlds of Barzakh and possibly the duniya again—in spirit, if one's status merits it. What led me to this conclusion was that of late, I've been meditating on Q2:154 and observed the One of this glorious name (Hayy) was used in a way to describe 'living after death' in a form we (the laymen) might not understand. Granted, it is one of the special qualities of the Martyrs, but I believe Allah's mercy is always open and encompassing and we can achieve this feat by working for it? A vivid example was Sheikhs Ikupakuti (may God keep blessing him and make him visit this thread once more o) and Ladunal's discourse on the encounter with Shekih Jamiu Bulala (RA) after the latter's death. Barring the fact that they the Awliyyahs have worshipped Allah (S.W.T) in ways and extent we might not fathom, one Dua that he was known to dwell on was Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum. And I keep asking myself, how does this Dua fit In Sheu being able to appear in 'physical body' as a normal human (albeit disguised and through his spirit)? Wallahu A'lam. This leads my discourse to the world of the Rijal Ghaib discussed earlier by them Sheikhs in the middle of this thread. I read an essay earlier about those Rijals, which I believe you might be interested in. I'll really appreciate it if I get your view on the points raised above. Also please educate us on the initial 40-days journey of the Barzakh. @All, kindly pardon any error, mistakes and repetitions encountered. PS: Sorry for the long post ooo Thanks.

Now this is the Uncle Franchas @Franchasng/Franchasofficia I know. (More of this ooo) The post is on point! You're very much accurate on the description of those politicians and their dealings. Having worked in a few years in the private sector (200k kind of jobs) with few companies, I left after seeing that there's no vision, no savings and long term growth. Also coupled with the fact that the nasty office politics, tribalism and nepotism is definitely not for me (I'm still a bit far from 30). I'm on my own now currently working on my startup...but it has not been easy (capital-wise, but we push on!) coupled with the fact that you hardly find under 30s who are thinking strategically, so it's a lonely path. Apart from the japa angle, I feel a handful of us might strive and build a thriving company, move our (future) family abroad, then come to Nigeria from time-to-time to check on the company. Is it still very feasible? Also, I I feel we the upcoming can build successful businesses and become wealthy in the IT, FMCG, Agroallied and feasible service sector. 1 Like |

Romance / Re: What Lesson Has Friends Taught You So Far by Trottle: 6:02pm On May 11, 2022 |
Here are some lessons I've learnt about friendship: 1. Most friendship are conditional, once the factor that brought you together is gone, then the friendship dies. E.g University 'friends', Work 'friends' etc. 2. Most of whom you call friends are not really friends but colleagues. A favourite quote from one of my senior colleague (then): "Nobody in your workplace is your friend. Do your work, get paid and go home!" 3. Try and turn the very few friends you might have into "family" (through marriage etc.) for the best friends you can have is your "family". 4. Some friends do turn family, and stay with you through thick and thin, but this is quite rare. Once you get one, you've gotten a pal for life! 5. In the journey of life especially after school, you must be very flexible on who you consider a 'friend' for each decade and phase of life will almost always change your definition of friendship. 13 Likes |

Hello Sir @ Franchasng, From his age, I assume he would be in his late 30s early 40s, hence your quest to give him a respectable, befitting business. If he's highly entrepreneurial (like you as I've deduced from your posts) I'd advise he goes into distributorship. He should get a distributorship license with one of the promising, upcoming FMCG companies around because obviously, he might not get a distributorship license at that amount with the giants in the industry. With the 4 million, you could assist him with the license, stocking, getting a warehouse, and dash him a small, modest van (no matter how small) you might not be using at the moment, and let him get 2 sales reps (for a start, he should do the account and supervision himself, with time, he'll have more than enough staff). Kindly help him pay the staff for 1-2 months for a start. This is one of the ways I believe he can make it steadily and respectably. Because in no time, if he's very much committed, he could expand to other areas, and other companies could also start chasing him for a license (attached with juicy offers; high rebates, sponsored trips, cars, gift items etc.) I'd advise you to look into this. 8 Likes |
