*Feminism:* *The Destruction of Families*

A woman from an Arab country sent a message to Dr Ahmed Abdullah Al-Omari, the Imam and Khatib of Miqat Masjid. She wrote:

"Doctor, you keep talking about feminism. By Allah, neither you nor those with you really know what feminism is!

I have been involved with them for years. I am a university graduate, a teacher, 42 years old, and a mother of 3 boys and 2 girls. So, I am not an ignorant woman.

I was drawn into this movement after I became addicted to Twitter and Instagram.

May Allah not forgive the person who brought this into our lives.

I was living peacefully. My husband was a good man - kind, generous, and respectable. But he was firm with me and our daughters.

I got to know some women through Twitter and Instagram. Their discussions were very strong, and most of them were focused on hating everything related to men: husbands, fathers, and brothers.

I saw them looking happy. They seemed to have no restrictions at all - not in the way they dressed, not in going out, or in anything else.

I started attending these gatherings and began thinking, 'How have I been wasting my life?'

Or rather, they made me feel that I had been wasting my life.

The gatherings were extremely open and liberal. I wasn't used to that kind of lifestyle, but Shaytan made it look attractive, and soon I couldn't stay away from it.

I began to see their gatherings as paradise, my home as hell, and my husband as the biggest devil.

We used to rent private chalets and event centres, and sometimes we gathered at one of our homes.

They had a lot of money. Most of them were working women. If any of them did not have a job, they would help her find one. Their main goal was to make sure that she would never need a man financially.

Our gatherings involved dancing, music and what they called complete freedom.

One of the main things they focused on was portraying husbands as evil. They kept saying that a woman could never be happy while living with a husband unless he completely submitted to her, or she divorced him.

At first, I only joined their discussions for entertainment, and I was not really convinced.

Then they introduced me to some women who were well connected in my city. They started inviting me to different gatherings, but my husband did not allow me to attend events outside those organised by our relatives.

So I started lying to him.

I would tell him, "This is the engagement ceremony of my colleague's daughter", or, "This is the naming ceremony of my colleague's seventh child", and so on. Every time, I had a different lie.

But the most dangerous part was that each woman would tell stories about her husband - how she had 'taught him a lesson', how she dragged him to court, how she got him into debt, how she made his life miserable, and so on.

And I would sit there listening like a fool, becoming more and more angry with my own husband.

Sometimes, some men would come and give us talks about self-development, independence, and similar topics.

During these talks, they would also make jokes and mock husbands.

I started seeing my husband as a devil who had deprived me of happiness. I was just waiting for the day when I would finally explode at him.

That day eventually came.

I told him, "I am going to my colleague's event tonight."

He asked, "Which colleague?"

I replied, "That is none of your business!"

It was the first time in my life that I had ever spoken to him like that.

He looked at me sternly and said, "You are not going."

I replied, "I am going. Do whatever you want."

I do not even know how I said those words. I had never spoken to him like that before.

But that was the result of more than a year of being influenced and emotionally charged against him.

He then said, "If you walk out of that door, you are divorced."

I replied, "That's exactly what I want! I am leaving!"

I was behaving as if I had been programmed.

To be honest, I was hoping he would fight with me so that I could call the police and drag him to the police station and the courts, just as those women had advised me.

They had told me that if the matter reached the police, they would arrange someone to handle my case.

Anyway, I left and attended the event.

I told them what had happened. They shouted, celebrated and lifted me up as if I had liberated Jerusalem!

They congratulated me for a whole week, celebrating my 'freedom from that useless man'.

I sent them a picture of the divorce document.

They organised a special celebration for me and congratulated me on what they called my 'great victory'.

I left my home and my children and rented an apartment close to my workplace.

My apartment became one of their meeting places.

They also sent me small amounts of money from time to time - sometimes as gifts, sometimes as help to furnish my apartment, and so on.

To make a long story short, I stayed with them for almost four years.

Then I discovered the truth about this harmful group.

I realised that their goal was to destroy families by creating hatred and hostility towards men and making women believe that every man is a devil.

They taught women that they must be financially independent, have their own salary and car, and never allow a man to question them - even their own father.

After four years, I finally woke up and started asking myself, "What have I gained from these people?"

I destroyed my home.

I lost my husband - a kind, brave, and generous man.

My children and daughters became ashamed of me. They hardly visit me except when their father pressures them to, and even then, they stay only for a few minutes before leaving.

I became ashamed of myself in front of my daughters.

My sons refuse to visit me.

I almost turned to drugs just to escape from my reality, but I chose psychiatric medication as the lesser of two evils.

It is true that I eventually returned to Allah, became committed to my religion, and started praying again.

But my children are not willing to accept advice from me anymore.

I am now 42 years old, but anyone who sees me would think that I am 60.

I believe the evil starts from the places they call cafes. There is so much evil in these places; I swear by Allah, no sensible woman should go there.

Doctor, please save the girls.

Save the rebellious women.

By Allah, I have so much more to tell you about this group, but my health does not allow me to write more.

I am writing this while completely broken down. My hands and body are trembling.

O Allah, I repent to You.

O Allah, please bring back my husband, my children, and the home that I destroyed with my own hands.

And if someone can intervene and help us reconcile, I want to go back to my home."

*EVEN THOUGH WE PRODUCE CRUDE OIL, WHY IS OUR FUEL N1,450: ANSWERING YOUR PAINFUL QUESTIONS*

By Fattykolly Ibn Alimi

Thank you for all the comments on my last article. I read every single one and feel really touched by the plights of Nigerians.

You are angry. You are hungry. You said: "Does our own oil go through Hormuz? Why should Iran-US war affect us? What do we enjoy from government? Why can't we just refine our own crude cheap for Nigerians?"

You are right to ask. Let me answer you truthfully, not as a government defender, but as a fellow Nigerian who is also feeling this pain.

NO, OUR OIL DOES NOT GO THROUGH HORMUZ — BUT OUR PRICE DOES

This is the painful truth about how crude oil is sold in the world. Nigeria's crude does NOT pass through Strait of Hormuz to get to Dangote Refinery in Lekki. Our crude moves from Niger Delta to Lekki directly.

But the PRICE of our crude is not decided in Nigeria. It is decided in London and New York. The world uses a benchmark called Brent Crude. When there is war in the Middle East and Hormuz is threatened, Brent jumps from $65 to $105 — for EVERYONE.

And here is the wicked part: The law we passed — the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) — says even Dangote must buy Nigerian crude at international market price. No discount. NNPC cannot dash him crude for N10,000 per barrel. It must sell at full $105 price, even if it will be refined in Nigeria.

So when Hormuz shakes, our crude price automatically shakes with it. That is why a country producing 1.5 million barrels per day still pays N1,450 per litre. We produce crude, but we do not control the price.

This is not government excuse. This is how Dangote himself explained it. In 2025, 60% of his crude came from Nigeria under Naira-for-Crude, but he had to buy 40% from America and other countries because NNPC could not supply enough. Even the Nigerian crude he got, he paid full international price for it — only the payment was in Naira, not dollars. [Dangote prospectus, 2025]

WHY CAN'T GOVERNMENT JUST REFINE OUR OWN CRUDE CHEAP FOR US?" — BECAUSE GOVERNMENT REFINERY DIED

You asked a very sensible question. This is what every sensible government does.

Saudi Arabia produces crude and refines cheap for its people. Why not Nigeria?

Because for 30 years, we refused to maintain our 4 government refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna. We spent over $25 billion in Turn Around Maintenance and nothing worked. So we became the only OPEC country that produces crude and imports petrol. We were importing 100% of our fuel until 2024.

Now we have Dangote Refinery. But let's be clear: Dangote Refinery is not a government refinery. It is a private business built with $20 billion loan. Aliko Dangote must repay banks. He must make profit. Government owns only 7.2% there.

Government tried to create an emergency plan — the Naira-for-Crude deal you heard about. The plan was: FG gives Dangote up to 450,000 barrels per day, Dangote pays in Naira, and sells fuel cheap in Naira to Nigerians. Tinubu started it in October 2024.

It worked for a few months and fuel came down to N860. But it is now struggling. Dangote said he needs 13-15 cargoes per month to run at full capacity, but NNPC is only giving him 5 cargoes. So he must import the rest at $100 per barrel from America. When he imports at $100, he cannot sell at N750. He now sells in dollars again.

That is not wickedness. That is the reality of a private refinery that government does not fully control.

"WHAT DO WE ENJOY FROM GOVERNMENT? NOTHING!"

I felt this comment deep in my chest.

We are hungry. Transport is double. Food is triple. Salary is still N70,000. And you hear allocation has tripled to N3.2 Trillion FAAC every month. Where is it?

This is the truth: The benefit of subsidy removal was NEVER supposed to be cheap fuel. The benefit is that the N7.5 Trillion we were paying to 3 rich importers every year for fake subsidy is now free. That money is now shared to 36 states.

The Federal Government's share of that money is being used to pay debt, build Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, Badagry-Sokoto Highway, Student Loan, and fight insecurity. Whether it is enough — that is a debate.

But the real enjoyment should come from your STATE GOVERNMENT. Your governor now collects 3 times what he collected under Buhari. From N4.3bn average to N12.3bn per month for states like Nasarawa — a 185% increase. That money is supposed to be your emergency cushion.

Does your governor give you free school? Free hospital? Subsidized transport like Lagos did with BRT? Farm support?

If not, that is not Tinubu's failure. That is your governor stealing your emergency fund. Tinubu freed the money from cabals and gave it to your governor. Your governor is now the cabal.

"YOUR ANALYSIS WOULD HAVE MADE SENSE IF WE WERE NOT PRODUCING CRUDE?"

My brother, you are 100% right. It does NOT make sense that we are suffering in the midst of plenty. It is disheartening.

But this is the honest picture:

We produce plenty crude, but we spent 30 years refusing to build refineries that work. Now we have one private refinery that still depends on foreign crude and foreign price. And we have 36 governors who collect triple allocation but build nothing to help you survive N1,450 fuel.

So the pain you feel is real. It is not because I am defending government. It is because our system was broken long before N1,450.

What should we demand now?

Not return to subsidy — that will take us back to 3:53 AM fuel queues and smuggling to Niger Republic. Demand this:

A. Government must enforce the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation — NNPC must give Dangote his full 450k bpd, so he stops importing and price drops.

B. Government must be transparent: When Brent falls to $65, Dangote pump price must fall to N850 same week. No delay.

C. Hold your governor accountable. Ask him every month: "You collected N15bn FAAC, where is our palliative? Where is our bus? Where is our farm support?"

The N1,450 is painful. But it is not because our crude went through Hormuz. It is because we produce crude like a rich man, but we manage it like a poor man who must ask the world market how much his own property is worth.

And until we fix that — with full local supply in Naira, with more than one Dangote, with governors who work — we will always feel like strangers in our own oil-rich country.

I understand your anger. I feel it too.

22/09/2026

I understand the explanation, but I think some very important questions are being avoided in this article.

First, how can you describe the subsidy as “fake” when ordinary Nigerians, including people like me, directly felt the benefit of it? If the subsidy was completely fictitious, what exactly were Nigerians experiencing when the government was intervening in the price of petrol? Calling it “fake subsidy” requires much more evidence and explanation than simply saying billions were being paid to importers.

Secondly, you say the fundamental problem is that Nigeria has failed to build and maintain functional refineries. I agree that this is a major part of the problem. But that actually raises another question: who has been responsible for that failure? Nigerians have been told for decades that our refineries would be rehabilitated. Billions have reportedly been spent on turnaround maintenance, yet we still find ourselves heavily dependent on imported refined products. At what point do we stop explaining the problem and start demanding accountability for the people who allowed it to persist?

You also argue that the international price of crude determines the price of Nigerian petrol because Dangote has to buy crude at international market prices. Fine. But if that is the case, then what exactly is the long-term benefit of producing crude in Nigeria for the ordinary Nigerian? We are producing the raw material, exporting or selling it at international prices, importing refined products or pricing locally refined products based on international benchmarks, and then asking Nigerians to absorb the full cost. That model deserves serious questioning.

The argument about the subsidy money being transferred to state governments also does not completely answer the issue.

You say the Federal Government saved money from subsidy removal and distributed the additional revenue through FAAC, and therefore Nigerians should hold their governors accountable. But who gave the money to the state governments in the first place? If the Federal Government knew that the removal of subsidy would impose severe hardship on citizens, why was there no stronger mechanism to ensure that the additional revenue actually translated into measurable relief for the people?

If the Federal Government can collect, allocate and distribute these funds, surely it can also establish mechanisms to monitor their use and ensure that citizens receive the intended benefits.

And this is where I struggle with the statement that “if your governor does not help you, that is not Tinubu's failure.” Government is a system. The Federal Government cannot take credit for the additional revenue created by subsidy removal when defending the policy, and then completely transfer responsibility to state governments when citizens ask where the benefits are.

If the argument is that subsidy removal freed trillions of naira for development, then Nigerians have every right to ask for a transparent accounting of that money: How much was saved? How much went to the Federal Government? How much went to each state? How was it spent? What measurable benefits have citizens received?

And if governors are now receiving significantly more money, then yes, Nigerians should hold them accountable. But that does not automatically absolve the Federal Government of responsibility for the consequences of its own policy or for ensuring that the additional revenue achieves its stated purpose.

Finally, the article says the answer is to enforce domestic crude supply, increase refining capacity and make governors accountable. I actually agree with those demands. But those are precisely the things Nigerians have been demanding for years.

So I don't think Nigerians are wrong for questioning the policy. We are not asking why our crude passes through the Strait of Hormuz. We are asking a much simpler question:

If Nigeria produces crude oil, why must ordinary Nigerians bear the full burden of international oil prices when the government has failed for decades to build sufficient refining capacity and establish a system that allows Nigerians to benefit directly from the resource beneath their soil?

The hardship Nigerians are experiencing is real. Whether every explanation in this article is correct is a separate question. But saying “the system was broken before” cannot become a permanent justification for why citizens must continue to bear the consequences.

If the subsidy was fraudulent, show Nigerians the evidence.
If trillions were saved, show us the accounts.
If the money was given to the states, show us the allocations and monitor how they were spent.
If domestic crude supply is the solution, enforce it.
If refineries are the solution, build and maintain them.

Nigerians are not asking for excuses. We are asking for transparency, accountability and tangible results.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,

Respected and distinguished brothers and sisters,

Today's sermon focuses on " The Wisdom and Benefits of Polygyny in Islam."
This topic is often discussed through emotion or cultural experience, yet Islam encourages believers to understand its rulings through revelation, wisdom and justice.
It is important to begin by recognizing that Islam did not introduce polygyny. It existed in many civilizations long before Islam, often without any limits or protection for women. Islam reformed the practice by restricting it to a maximum of four wives and making justice an indispensable condition.
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"Marry women of your choice, two, three, or four; but if you fear that you cannot deal justly with them, then marry only one. That is more likely to prevent you from committing injustice."
(Qur'an 4:3)
This verse demonstrates that justice is the foundation upon which the permissibility of polygyny rests.
The Wisdoms and Benefits of Polygyny
1. A Practical Solution for Social Challenges
Islam provides solutions to real human circumstances rather than idealized situations alone. In some societies, women significantly outnumber men due to war, migration, disease, or differences in life expectancy. Polygyny offers a lawful means for more women to experience marriage, family life, companionship, and financial security.
For example, after several battles during the lifetime of the Prophet (PBUH), many Muslim women became widows. Polygyny enabled responsible Muslim men to support these women and their children while preserving their dignity.
2. Caring for Widows, Divorcees, and Orphans
One of Islam's greatest objectives is protecting vulnerable members of society. A widow or divorcee may desire the security of marriage rather than a life of loneliness or economic hardship.
The opening verses of Surah An-Nisa' connect caring for orphans with the discussion of polygyny, highlighting Islam's concern for justice and social welfare.
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself married several widows, including Sawdah bint Zam'ah, Umm Salamah, and Zaynab bint Khuzaymah, demonstrating compassion and social responsibility rather than personal luxury.
3. Preserving Morality and Chastity
Islam recognizes natural human desires and channels them through lawful means. Rather than encouraging secret affairs or immoral relationships, Islam permits marriage under clear ethical responsibilities.
Allah says:
"And those who guard their chastity, except with their spouses..."
(Qur'an 23:5–7)
When practiced according to Islamic principles, polygyny protects individuals and society from many forms of sexual misconduct and family breakdown.
4. Protecting Existing Marriages
There are situations in which a husband and wife deeply love and respect one another, but circumstances such as infertility or long-term illness create new family needs. Instead of divorcing the first wife, Islam permits a second marriage while preserving the first marriage and the rights of the first wife.
For example, if a couple cannot have children and both wish to remain together, polygyny may provide a solution that allows the husband to have children without dissolving the original marriage.
5. Expanding Family Support Networks
In families where justice, cooperation, and mutual respect exist, polygyny can create broader networks of care. Children may benefit from larger extended families, and relatives often cooperate in supporting one another during hardship.
Islamic history records many successful households in which wives maintained respectful relationships while raising righteous children who later became scholars and leaders.
6. Increasing the Muslim Population
Marriage is encouraged in Islam because it strengthens families and society.
The Prophet (PBUH) said:
"Marry loving and fertile women, for I will boast of your great numbers before the other nations on the Day of Resurrection."
(Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith 2050; al-Nasa'i)
While this encouragement applies generally to marriage, lawful polygyny may, in some circumstances, contribute to increasing righteous families and future generations.
7. Protecting Women's Rights
Contrary to common misconceptions, Islam does not permit a man to neglect or exploit multiple wives.
Each wife has independent rights, including:
- Financial maintenance.
- Suitable accommodation.
- Equal allocation of time.
- Respect and dignified treatment.
- The right to inherit.
- The right to seek justice if wronged.
These protections distinguish Islamic polygyny from relationships that lack legal responsibility or accountability.
The Condition of Justice
The greatest condition attached to polygyny is justice.
Allah says:
"But if you fear that you cannot deal justly, then marry only one."
(Qur'an 4:3)
The Prophet (PBUH) also warned:
"Whoever has two wives and inclines toward one of them will come on the Day of Resurrection with one side of his body leaning."
(Sunan Abu Dawud 2133; al-Tirmidhi 1141)
Justice includes equal financial support, fair scheduling, housing, clothing, and outward treatment. Emotional affection cannot be perfectly controlled, but deliberate favoritism in rights is prohibited.
Lessons from the Prophet's Marriages
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) remained married exclusively to Khadijah (RA) for approximately twenty-five years. After her death, many of his marriages served humanitarian, educational and communal purposes.
For example:
- Sawdah bint Zam'ah (RA) was a widow who received protection and companionship through marriage.
- Umm Salamah (RA) was widowed with children and the Prophet (PBUH) provided support and honor through marriage.
- Aishah (RA) became one of Islam's greatest scholars, narrating over two thousand hadiths that continue to guide Muslims in matters of worship and family life.
These examples show that marriage in Islam serves purposes beyond personal desire, including compassion, education and community welfare.
A Balanced Understanding
Polygyny is permissible not obligatory. A Muslim man is not required to marry more than one wife and many Muslims throughout history have remained monogamous.
The permission is tied to responsibility. A man who lacks the financial means, emotional maturity or ability to uphold justice should not enter into multiple marriages. The Qur'an itself directs such a person toward one wife to avoid injustice.
Dear brothers and sisters,
Every ruling in Islam seeks to achieve justice, mercy, wisdom, and the common good. Polygyny is one of the lawful family arrangements permitted by Allah to address certain individual and social circumstances. When practiced according to the Qur'an and Sunnah, it can provide protection for vulnerable women, preserve families, uphold morality, and strengthen communities. When practiced without justice, however, it contradicts the very principles upon which its permissibility rests.
May Allah grant us wisdom to understand His religion correctly, sincerity in applying His guidance, and justice in all our dealings. May He bless our families with faith, compassion, tranquility, and righteousness.
Aameen.

FATE OF AFRICA;
VERY UNFORTUNATE

A Chinese man and an African met in Europe.

Chinese: My name is Ki Pin

African: Nice to meet you. I'm John Emmanuel Samwel.

Chinese: So, you're not African?

African: No. I am proudly African.

Chinese: Yet your name is John Emmanuel Samwel?

African: Yes. It's the name my parents gave me.

The Chinese man smiled.

Chinese: Interesting. Even something as simple as names—something that requires no technology, no factories, no engineering—you still import. We never realized Africa was such a large market for foreign names. Perhaps we should start manufacturing names too. After all, if they're "Made in China," they'll probably be cheaper than the European ones.

The African laughed.

African: You have quite a sense of humor. What brings you here?

Chinese: I'm studying neuroscience, with a specialization in robotics. I also lecture on Chinese civilization at the University of London. And you?

African: I'm a doctoral researcher.

Chinese: In what field?

African: English Literature. I specialize in William Shakespeare.

The Chinese looked puzzled.

Chinese: Shakespeare? The man has been dead for centuries.

African: I study his writings and analyze his literary works.

Chinese: You're not a forensic scientist, so why spend your life analyzing the thoughts of a man who died hundreds of years ago? Instead of solving today's African problems, you're dedicating your intellect to explaining yesterday's European ideas.

The African smiled awkwardly.

African: Well... I actually came to invite you to our worship service.

Chinese: Wonderful! I've attended Christian, Muslim and Buddhist services out of curiosity, but never an African one. This should be fascinating. Where is it?

African: At the International Church of the Last Soldiers of Jesus.

Chinese: Wait... you're inviting me to a church?

African: Yes. Our founder is the great American prophet Weiss White—a man of extraordinary miracles.

The Chinese paused.

Chinese: You don't even have your own prophets? Your names are foreign. Your academic heroes are foreign. Your religious leaders are foreign.

He shook his head.

Chinese: I'm sorry, my friend. I don't think I'll make it today.

As he walked away, he glanced back at the African's clothing.

Chinese: That's a beautiful outfit.

African: Thank you. It's African traditional fabric.

The Chinese quietly whispered to himself as he walked away:

"Poor man. He doesn't even know that the cloth he proudly calls African was manufactured in one of our factories."

Moral Lesson:

The greatest form of dependence is not economic—it is intellectual and cultural.

A people who abandon their own names, celebrate other people's heroes while forgetting their own, consume other people's knowledge without creating their own, and wear imported products while believing they are symbols of local pride will always struggle to define their own future.

Africa's greatest wealth has never been beneath its soil. It has always been within its people—their ideas, their identity, their innovation, and their confidence to build for themselves.

Until Africa produces what it proudly consumes, tells its own stories, invests in its own knowledge, and believes in its own potential, true independence will remain unfinished.

Give me one example of a palindromic Words.

08/06/2026

To my Christian neighbours and fellow Nigerians,
I want to speak to you, not with anger, but with sincerity.
Because something is not right.
Every time bandits or terrorists strike, many are quick to say, "This is Islam." Some say it because of their names. Others say it because they hear "Allahu Akbar" in moments of violence.
But I want you to pause… and reflect honestly.
Look around you.
Think about your daily life.
You have Muslim neighbours. The same people who greet you every morning. The same people who check on you when you are sick. The same people who celebrate with you and stand with you in times of difficulty.
You have Muslim coworkers, people you trust with responsibilities, people who support you, people who deal with you in honesty.
Some of you even have Muslim bosses who pay your salaries, treat you fairly, and respect you as human beings.
These are not strangers. These are people you know.
You have seen their character with your own eyes. You have experienced their kindness directly.
So I ask you, sincerely:
Why are these Muslims not the ones you use to understand Islam?
Why do you overlook the peaceful, decent Muslims in your life, and then turn to criminals in the forest to define an entire religion?
Why?
If Islam truly teaches violence and chaos, would the Muslims around you be the way they are?
Would they treat you with kindness?
Would they live peacefully among you?
Would they build relationships, trust, and community with you?
Or is it possible, just possible, that what you see in your neighbour is closer to Islam than what you see in a bandit?
Let us be honest with ourselves.
Islam forbids the killing of innocent people.
It forbids r**e and oppression.
It forbids intoxication and moral corruption.
It commands prayer, discipline, and accountability.
These are not hidden teachings. They are clear.
Yet those criminals do the exact opposite.
So what exactly are you judging? Islam, or the actions of people who clearly disobey it?
Yes, they shout "Allahu Akbar."
But words are easy.
Anyone can say "God is great." Even someone who is about to commit evil can say it. That does not make the evil righteous but it only exposes the hypocrisy.
Do not let a slogan replace your thinking.
Judge by actions. Judge by consistency. Judge by truth.
Because deep down, you already know the difference.
You see it every day in your neighbour, in your colleague, in that Muslim who has never harmed you but has only shown you goodness.
So be fair.
Do not allow pain or fear to push you into conclusions that are not just. Do not allow criminals to define millions of innocent people.
Nigeria is already fragile. Words matter. Judgments matter.
If we continue to misunderstand each other, we will only deepen the division.
But if we choose fairness, if we choose to judge rightly, then there is hope for peace.
And sometimes, justice begins with something as simple as this:
Looking at the people around you…
And being honest about what you already know.
Thank you for your understanding
