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...

The launch of a new League of Imams and Alfas in South-West Nigeria must be examined through the principles of Islamic jurisprudence, not through emotion or partisanship. The foundation in Sharīʿah concerning Muslim affairs is unity, not division. Allah says: “Hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not be divided” (Āl ʿImrān 3:103), and He warns: “Do not dispute, lest you lose courage and your strength depart” (Al-Anfāl 8:46).  The Prophet ﷺ also instructed: “Hold fast to the Jamā‘ah, for the Hand of Allah is with the Jamā‘ah.” These texts establish that preserving collective unity is a major objective (maqṣad) of Sharīʿah. From a fiqh perspective, organizations and leagues are considered means (wasā’il), and the legal maxim states: “Means take the ruling of their objectives” (الوسائل لها أحكام المقاصد). Therefore, forming a new league is not automatically ḥarām. If its purpose is genuine reform (iṣlāḥ), strengthening Islamic leadership, improving scholars...

BISMILLAH IR-RAHMAN IR-RAHIM  Unauthorized Announcements of Ramadan in Nigeria. Introduction Unity in the Muslim Ummah, particularly in the observance of Ramadan, is a fundamental principle in Islam. Ramadan, as a universally observed act of worship, requires uniformity in its commencement and conclusion. Any declaration made outside the recognized and established authority risks division and confusion, which the Shari‘ah strictly seeks to prevent. 1. Evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah Qur’an: "فَصُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ شَهْرَ شَعْبَانَ ثَلَاثِينَ"  “Fast when you see the new moon, and break your fast when you see it. And if it is hidden, complete Sha‘ban as thirty days.” Hadith: Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "صوموا لرؤيته وأفطروا لرؤيته، فإن غُم عليكم فأكملوا عدة شعبان ثلاثين" [Bukhari 1900, Muslim 1082] “Start fasting when you see th...
