Towards An Enlightened Century by Sheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil Haqqani Qs

Image
Treasures are usually not found in beautiful buildings, they are hidden in old ruins. No-one ever finds anything valuable in skyscrapers, but if they dig in old ruins they will find it there. This place here is a very humble place, but the people inside are like treasures. While I was praying, the inspiration came to me to speak to you about the symbol of the tree. A tree cannot be bad, only the conditions around the tree make it bad. A tree never intends to produce a bad fruit. A tree tries to give good fruit to people, but sometimes the fruit will be bad because something came to the tree when it was in blossom. May be it was an insect which caused the fruit to turn bad. Within their structure, mankind has the potential of being perfect. Just like a tree has perfection, everyone has that same capability. He who created man, created him to be perfect. Children are not bad from the beginning, but as they grow, their bad characteristics start forming. Some people keep the go...

How Diriliş: Ertuğrul Changed My Perspective about Life by Mutohhir Abdulhamid Olanrewaju

Image
I was never a fan of movies—until 2020, during the global outbreak of COVID-19. Like many others confined at home, I decided to try something new. That decision led me to watch my very first episode of Diriliş: Ertuğrul—a series that would completely transform my outlook on life. Diriliş: Ertuğrul is more than just entertainment. It is an inspirational depiction of the life and struggles of Ertuğrul Bey, a heroic leader of the Kayı Tribe. The series reflects timeless values and presents a powerful narrative rooted in history, leadership, and faith. What struck me most was how the story of the Kayı Tribe encompasses nearly every aspect of life. Through it, I learned profound lessons about politics, leadership, and decision-making. It taught me the importance of treating guests with honor, building meaningful relationships, and maintaining a strong connection with God. The series also highlighted the significance of unity and respect in human interactions—whether with Muslims...

The Spare Part Economy: A Roadmap to FX Sovereignty in the Era of De-Dollarization By Adam Olatunji Muritala

Image
PART FOUR The Spare Part Economy: A Roadmap to FX Sovereignty in the Era of De-Dollarization Nigeria does not merely face a currency crisis; it faces a structural dependence crisis. In the era of de-dollarization  where nations are renegotiating trade settlements, diversifying reserve currencies, and questioning dollar hegemony, one truth remains constant: no country achieves real monetary sovereignty without production sovereignty. And nowhere is Nigeria’s vulnerability more visible than in its spare part economy. We speak loudly about currency swaps, bilateral trade in local currencies, and the promise of alternative payment systems. Yet quietly, daily, relentlessly, we send dollars abroad for brake pads, alternators, control boards, gear assemblies, hydraulic seals, circuit breakers, pumps, sensors, injectors, turbines, and electronic modules. We are not just importing machines. We are importing their maintenance cycles. We are importing recurring obligations. The sp...

Reverse Engineering: The Missing Strategy in Nigeria’s De-Dollarisation Debate By Adam Olatunji Muritala

Image
PART THREE Founder African Pro-Humanity Technology Hub  Nigeria’s de-dollarisation debate has become a theatre of numbers: exchange rates; reserves; currency swaps; and policy pronouncements, yet the most important question is never asked: what does Nigeria actually produce that reduces its need for dollars? No country weakens the grip of a foreign currency by talking about money alone. Currency power follows production power. And production, in every serious industrial history, begins not with invention but with imitation through reverse engineering. Nigeria’s dependence on the dollar is not ideological; it is mechanical. We import the machines that generate our electricity, the equipment that runs our hospitals, the hardware that powers our telecoms, the tools that enable manufacturing, and even the spare parts that keep these systems alive. Machinery, transport equipment, electrical systems, refined petroleum products, pharmaceuticals these items consistently account...

De-Dollarisation as an Industrial Policy: Nigeria’s Moment of Reckoning By Adam Olatunji Muritala

Image
Founder, African Pro-Humanity Technology Hub If de-dollarisation without innovation is suicide, then de-dollarisation with innovation is Nigeria’s last realistic path to sovereignty. Currency realignment alone does not create power. It merely exposes whether a nation can produce the technologies that give currency meaning. Nigeria’s economy was never weakened by the dollar itself, but by what the dollar concealed: an import-dependent system that substituted foreign exchange for engineering capability. As global currency dominance fractures, that illusion can no longer hold. A nation that imports its power systems, industrial machines, healthcare equipment, digital platforms, and core technologies remains dependent, no matter what currency it trades in. De-dollarisation therefore confronts Nigeria with a brutal choice: build or break. Countries that manufacture adapt when currencies shift. Countries that consume collapse. The path forward is not monetary cleverness but indus...

De-Dollarisation Without Innovation Is Suicide: Why Nigeria Must Build Indigenous Technology Capacity Now Adam Olatunji Muritala

Image
The world is quietly rewriting the rules of power. Currencies are being renegotiated, alliances are shifting, and the long-standing dominance of the United States dollar is no longer taken for granted. Across energy markets, trade agreements, and financial settlements, countries are exploring alternatives to the dollar not as protest, but as preparation. Yet Nigeria stands at a dangerous crossroads, mistaking currency realignment for liberation while ignoring the one thing that gives any currency meaning: "innovation". The uncomfortable truth Nigeria must confront is this: de-dollarisation without indigenous technological capacity is not independence; it is economic suicide. Currency power does not exist in isolation. The dollar did not dominate the world because it was printed on better paper or backed by louder diplomacy. It dominated because it rode on the back of American innovation: banking systems; financial software; industrial machinery; semiconductors; en...
