At exactly 12:25pm this man called me and invited me to a meeting by 6:00pm today. As we are communicating, a code showed up on my scream. Just 5 digit numbers.
Do not pick his call either on phone or Whatsapp call. ( +2348106224144 )
A glimmer of gold in the dunes' vast expanse appeared. As I searched, the sands shifted, revealing a path unclear. With every step, and each passing moment, thoughtful reflection leads the way. Upon delving deep, I unearthed a treasure bright, and then I examined the price, to see if it gleamed with hidden worth. And so I discovered it was merely glitter in sight. A lesson learned, I realized with conviction true: not all that glitters is gold, and glitter can deceive anew. As I ventured, forlorn, into the desert's endless space, in search of ancient gold, a treasure to adorn, Sorrow's velvet cloak enveloped me in its gentle grasp. I lamented, a melancholy heart, both day and starry dawn. My spirit worn, like a tapestry, with threads of pain and age. Inspired by spiritual grounding and joyful expectation, I had eagerly awaited the chance to behold my treasured gold, to gaze upon the radiant jewel, and feast my eyes on the wondrous fortune to hold.

It has been more than a week since we lost a gem.

He started out as a young Islamic scholar and cut his educational (Arabic) teeth from His Eminence, Late Sheikh Abdul-Baaqi (A.B) Muhammad in Iwo.

The tides of public condemnation have been relentless upon Abdulrahman, the young man whose hands were stained with the gruesome murder of Hafsah in Ilorin. For weeks, he has been the subject of scorn, abandoned by those who once stood beside him, rejected by his own circle, and cursed by voices that once resonated with his own beliefs. His crime is vile, despicable, and demands justice. No sane person would excuse it. But as this sacred month of Ramadan approached, the month of mercy, the month of Rahmah, I began to ponder, that we must ask ourselves: what is the intent of Allah in exposing a criminal? Is it for utter destruction? Is it for permanent rejection? Is there no pathway back to redemption? Yes, the wheels of justice must turn. Yes, Abdulrahman may be condemned to execution in line with the law of Qisas. But before that inevitable fate, should we not offer him the one thing that Islam extends even to the gravest of sinners, the door of Tawbah? We have all seen th...
