In 1996, the military governor of Lagos, Buba Marwa, ate roadside akara as a publicity stunt to prove to residents that it was safe. Weeks earlier, a gang of thieves invaded a Lagos warehouse, looted bags of beans that had been treated with pre-planting chemicals, and sold them at cheaper rates. In early September, seven people in Agege died after eating the beans. Or at least that's how the rumour went. The fear of poisonous beans quickly spread beyond Lagos to Abeokuta, Ifo, and Ibadan. Families stopped buying beans, and sellers of akara and moin-moin saw their businesses collapse. For many Nigerians, beans—a cheap, vital source of protein—suddenly felt like a death trap. By mid-September, 15 deaths had been linked to the killer beans. News outlets reported that over ₦400 million worth of beans remained unsold that month. The government had to do something to end the panic. On September 23, 1996, the state governor stopped at a roadside akara stall in Ketu, bought the popular beans cake, and ate in front of an anxious crowd. His message? The beans were safe. It turned out there was a different explanation for why people were dying, and it had nothing to do with armed robbers looting a beans warehouse. Investigations revealed the deaths in Agege were caused by cholera, traced to contaminated water from a burst pipe. The government quickly vaccinated residents and repaired the pipe. Marwa's stunt did not instantly erase the fear, but it marked the beginning of the end of the killer beans scare of 1996. ℹ️Ethnic African Stories/Archivi

Jokes apart, let me teach you guys one of the jurisprudential deductions scholars drew from a situation like this. If you check the Majmoo Fatawa of Ibn Taymiyyah, when he was talking about a situation like this of a man who stole but he is poor, he looked at the issue through the lens of true Islamic justice. He wrote: كاللص الفقير تقطع يده لسرقته، ويعطى من بيت المال ما يكفيه لحاجته "Like the poor thief whose hand is cut for his theft, yet he is given from the public treasury what suffices his need." What does this mean in this context? It means that ordinarily, the law permits the state (not mobs/individuals) to cut the hand of a thief if the stolen item reaches the threshold. Until the threshold is met, the state CANNOT cut the hand of a thief. However, when a poor person steals out of desperation and hunger, the whole context changes. The legal system is required to address the root cause by giving him money and food from the public treasury to remove his poverty. This is what the law says. The extreme need that led him to stealing creates a legal doubt that suspends the punishment. Unfortunately, instead of the above, we have a society that resorted to jungle justice. A twisted one that only the trained minds can identify. A public humiliation born out of a broken system. Deeply unfortunate 💔

This guy was caught trying to steal garri from a market stall. Instead of beating him immediately, they served him a huge pot of soaked garri and a plate of beans. If he finishes everything on the spot, he walks free. If he can’t, they will mend him. 😭

This government is looking for every single avenue to useless the lives of the common man. The capitalist economic trap countries like US are battling with is what they are bringing to Nigeria where we are not as half productive as the US. Why are you proposing credit cards to a nation plagued with unemployment and high inflation? Simple answer is wickedness. They invented acute poverty to the point that people can’t afford their basic needs, only for them to propose life long debts with interests through credit cards. This is typical economic colonialism. Thunder fire una!

In 1879, a simple Egyptian peasant woman named Mubarka Khafaji from a village in Kafr El-Sheikh married a farmer, Ibrahim Atta, who worked for daily wages. Due to financial hardship, he divorced her even though she was in the final months of her pregnancy. Mubarka moved with her mother and brother to Alexandria, where she gave birth to her son, Ali Ibrahim Atta. She made a firm decision to do everything possible to raise and educate him in the best way. She had countless reasons to despair and grow bitter toward men, but she did not. She could have forced her son into child labor selling tissues at traffic lights, but instead she worked as a cheese seller in the streets of Alexandria to support him. She enrolled her son Ali in the Ras El-Tin Primary School. After he completed primary education, his father came to take him away to make him work with only a basic certificate. But Mubarka’s dreams were much greater. She secretly moved her son from the roof of her house to the neighboring roof and fled with him to Cairo, enrolling him in the Khedivial School in Darb El-Gamamiz. She worked for a family in order to fund his education. Ali excelled in his studies and was admitted to medical school in 1897, graduating in 1901. Fifteen years later, Sultan Hussein Kamel fell seriously ill, and doctors were unable to diagnose his condition. Dr. Othman Ghaleb suggested the name of Dr. Ali Ibrahim. He successfully performed a critical surgery, after which he was appointed as the Sultan’s chief surgical consultant and personal physician, receiving the title of "Bey." In 1922, King Fouad I granted him the title of "Pasha." In 1929, Dr. Ali Pasha Ibrahim became the first Egyptian dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Fouad I University (Cairo University). He later became the university’s president. In 1940, he was appointed Minister of Health. In the same year, he founded the Egyptian Medical Syndicate and became its first president. He also served as a member of the Egyptian Parliament. His mother was: An uneducated, rural, divorced peasant woman. Yet she raised a son who changed history. The reform of any society begins with a mother. Salute to every mother who is a true school of life.

This is the kind of politician that is most dangerous to oppose. To the ordinary man, he ceases to be just a politician. He eventually becomes an ideology.

For those of you who have repeatedly asked me to do the Halal-Screening for SpaceX, this is what I found. While I was doing my analysis, I stumbled upon a financial perspective that described this SpaceX IPO as the one where the math does not matter. We are looking at an initial valuation of 1.77 trillion dollars that quickly surged past 2.6 trillion dollars before today's pullback. This is where your truth-wariness must come in, because it seems like normal financial metrics are being sidelined by market enthusiasm. I understand how you might be pushed, but let me also point you to what I discovered. I dug deeper into how Elon does his thing, and I used Tesla as an example. Let say you bought Tesla stock at the time it came on board in 2010 at its price of $17. The company adopted the split-adjusted price of each share sitting at about $1.2. When I checked the share price today, it sits at about $403. This means you would have compounded a 44% increase every year for 16 years. That is about $6,000 today. You would have been $6k richer today. Experts say that one of the things that contributed to its success is that the investors bought the future: the future of electric vehicles and renewable energy. Now think of SpaceX, where Aerospace, Communication, and AI are all wrapped into one. This puts SpaceX at the forefront of everything. But don’t be surprised yet. When I checked, only one section—communication, is making money. Space exploration alone lost about $660 million dollars already in the first quarter. The AI, despite huge resource investment, does not have much positive net revenue. In short, there is a history of net losses, much like a galaxy of risk. Normally, Elon is a guy who likes to hype his products. It’s a good strategy for him, but you should be wary of where you put your money. I also know that when buying stock, the behavioral tendencies of people mean they do not care about understanding how the company does its job. However, conscious investors are also concerned about how accountable the company will be to shareholders. What Elon is currently selling are the Class A shares. The Class B shares, where you are entitled to 10 votes, are structured so that Elon still retains more than 82% of them even after the IPO. And if we go by the company’s objective on its multi-planetary approach to understanding the true nature of the universe and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars, then we might say maybe Elon needs such a level of authoritarian control. In fact, it is written in the framework that Elon cannot be removed without his consent. Nevertheless, SpaceX could be that opportunity you have to hold a critical piece in the tech industry, or it could also be a tech trap. A trillionaire gamble that needs the stars to align just right for it to pay off. And no matter what the little me says, one thing is for sure: Many investors will not be able to avoid owning a stake in SpaceX. It is like a gravity well pulling investments towards itself, including the most passive types of investments that will bundle SpaceX into their portfolio. It’s just that I am wary of it, and I genuinely believe you should be too. It’s not even only whether it passes the Halal screening here; it’s about your dividends. If you are one of those investors, don’t expect to get rich quick. The company does not have any immediate plans to pay dividends. And the time has long passed to be an early investor unless you want to play the long game, not measured in quarters or even calendar years, but rather in decades. Allah knows best.

Nigeria is so unfortunate that Rarara often talks about issues in a self-entitled manner due to political praise-singing of eulogizing/deifying politicians. He thinks he matters in the scheme of things. Same Rarara once hosted a world press conference that he’d be made Minister.

El Salvador was one of the most dangerous countries in the world when they practiced rehabilitation of terrorists up to 2015. When the current president Bukele came to power, crime was still rising. So he stopped the rehabilitation, went fire for fire with the criminals. Today he has reduced crime rate by 98%. Nigeria that is rehabilitating terrorists, we are seeing new groups everyday from Boko Haram, to ISWAP to Lakurawa to Ansaru to Bandits because the reward for crime is reintegration with a job and spouse back to society. Nigeria must learn from El Salvador.

I am really surprised that people think it is impossible for 210 trillion ($150 billion) to disappear within 6 years in the NNPC.

This is the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup. This was the World Cup everyone claimed Qatar couldn't pull off, but they ended up hosting arguably the best, most organised World Cup in recent memory. The Quran recitation and the calm atmosphere gave it a unique feel never seen before. Now, we wait to see what the upcoming tournament in North America will bring. The bar has been set incredibly high, and it is going to take a lot more than the usual American corporate and media hype to match this level of soul and standard.
