Senate Debunks Recent Claims Of Data Support For Data Hike On Dailies

Vice chairman of the Committee on Communications Senator Solomon Adeola has debunked a recent claimed published in national daily that "Senate okays Data Price Hike." In a press statement, Media Adviser to Senator Solomon Adeola, Chief Kayode Odunaro said "Our attention has been drawn to a publication with the misleading title “ Senate Okays Data Price Hike, says NCC Acted in national Interest” in a national daily insinuating that the Senate through its Committee on Communications sanctioned data price increase by telecommunications service providers during an oversight visit to the Nigerian Communication Commission. "There is no iota of truth in the misleading title as the contrary is the case from what the Vice chairman of the Committee Senator Solomon Adeola said in his presentation during the briefing by NCC Executive Vice Chairman, Professor Umaru Dambatta. "Senator Adeola while commending the NCC for its achievements in recent times stated that the ac

The Heart Of Man Is Fantastically Wicked

This happened at the Palms Shopping Mall in Victoria Island Lagos; This is very scary and could happen to any of us. Seems like every nice thing people do for one another can be perverted. This is a new twist to kidnapping from a very smart survivor. About a week ago, there was a woman standing by the mall entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women. The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and discovered that she had a flat tyre. She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat tyre. A nice man dressed in a business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said, “I noticed you’re changing a flat tyre. Would you like me to take care of it for you?” The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the jack in the tr

How Islamic are the Islamic Countries

Assalamu alaikum Below is a very interesting study I recieved recently which shows in what state we are as an ummah. May Allah help us improve ourselves individually and that we become better as an ummah! Ameen! *Subject:* Ranking of true Islamic countries How Islamic are the Islamic Countries A study conducted by Prof. Hussain Askari of George Washington University entitled *“How Islamic are the Islamic Countries"* showed that most of the countries that apply *Islamic Principles* in their daily lives are not ones that are traditionally Muslim. New Zealand ranked 1st,  Luxembourg 2nd, Ireland 3rd, Iceland 4th, Finland 5th, Denmark 6th Canada 7th. Malaysia 38th, Kuwait 48th, Bahrain 64th and the surprise *Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ranked 131st*. The study, published in the *Global Economy Journal* might be shocking to most of us but when we look around us and see the reality of the situation, we find that the results the study are accurate and true. As Muslims we see

Has The Time Not Come?

#WhispersOfPeace Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient. #Quran 57:16

WHAT I DON'T GET IN MAYOWA'S CASE

Firstly, let be say i am not involved in the appeal and i do not know anyone close to me who is directly involved. I make appeals on behalf of An-Nusra Foundation; a duly registered charity which verifies all claims made to Regional Management Teams (RMT) before approval by a 6 man Board of Trustee based on the recommendation of the RMT, it is at this stage people like us are contacted to make post. An-Nusra Foundation was not involved in this case neither did they receive any appeal from Mayowa's family. So what i am about to say is without bias. Secondly, at this stage it is premature to call the Mayowa appeal a scam. It has been confirmed that she is seriously down with ovarian cancer, the only claim now being made is that the hospital has given up on her and it is the family that went ahead to make the appeal. But this raises two questions. The first is we saw Mayowa herself ask people for help, if it was her family who were trying to "scam" us did they also compel t

Do Not Let Your Emotion Cause Commotion

There is an adage of the Yoruba people that says "Omo abi ire ki n rin loru meaning a child with an upright background never stay out at night" a friend once told me it's a tale of the olden days. Civilization has taken over with street lights everywhere and increase in security measures in place, people now move freely with less panic. No cause for alarm. However, the excitements and expression of emotion can cause commotion. Caution should never be thrown to the wind when spending time out at night. If you must walk, work or have fun at night then do with caution. There are nightcrawlers everywhere. We have heard stories of abduction. In fact there are people who are now behind bars nabbed by policemen as robbers- mistaken identity. Even some 'waka about' men have slept with demons in woman form. There's nothing new under the sky-- things happen at night. People seal billion naira contract at night. Politicians have their meetings at nights. We also watch f

Comparative analysis between wives of today and that of yesterday By Pof. Yusuf Dankofa

Welcome my husband, hope the office was not stressful., your favorite food is ready, let me lead you to the bathroom first,then you take your dinner, you look so tired, am sure you'll be okay after taking your dinner, welcome my one and only. Today's Wives Please don't put unnecessary pressure on me, you can go to the fridge pick up the stew, microwave it and boiled the remaining rice, i am your wife and not your cook. 2).Yesterday's Wives Darling stop thinking about our lack of money.

Why did you bring me to your house when you know that you are not ready for marriage?Every day

TWO WRONGS THAT MAKE A RIGHT

There were two houses standing next to each other. In one of them resided a very unhappy family. The spouses yelled at each other, they fought and quarreled all the time. The other was a place of happiness and calm. During one of the fights the wife asked her husband: “Did you ever hear them quarrel or yell over at that house? No! So, go there and see what they do to avoid it!” The husband stood at the window of his neighbors and watched. There, they were busy doing their own thing. The wife was in the kitchen cooking, and the man sat at the table writing. The phone rang and the man jumped up and headed to the hallway to get it. On his way he bumped into a vase, it fell and broke. He got down to his knees and started picking up the pieces. The wife ran into the room from the kitchen. She also kneeled down and started helping her husband to pick them up. The man said to his wife: “I am so sorry. I rushed to get the phone and bumped into the vase. It fell and got broken.” The w

Greet a Muslim in the right way!

❌ Salam (peace) ❌ (and peace) ❌ Slm/Wslm (no meanings) ❌ Aslm alkm/ Wlkm slm(no meanings). All the above words do not represent Islamic greetings. This is considered 🚫IMPOLITE 🚫UNWISE and 🚫UNEDUCATED to use these words as a way of greeting in islam, Some people have gone to the extent of abbreviating our Creator's Name (Allah S.W.T) into writing "Alh" ❌ or "Wlh" ❌ . INNALILLAHI WA INNA'ILAIHI RAJIUN! Why ❓ This is getting worst! Please my brothers and sisters in Islam, let us try and change for the sake of Allah. NOTE THAT: All the above words are not islamic and didn't represent Islamic greetings, but ✅ EDUCATED, ✅ WISE, and ✅CIVILIZED MUSLIMS write: ✔ Assalamu Alaikum = peace be upon you ✔Wa Alaykumussalam = and peace be upon you too. OR ✔Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh = may peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. ✔ Wa'alaikumussalam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh = may peace,mercy and blessings of Allah be upon y

Stop...take a deep breath.

Have you found yourself in a situation that you never expected you would be in and you are stressed out of your mind? You may feel your whole world is crashing in on you and that you have lost everything. You are just plain tired. Do not panic and don’t quit! You are still here in your right mind. Everything else is a bonus. You may have been in this place before where you have wondered, "How can I get through this?" You could not see it, but somehow you made it. And you will again. Stop ~ take a deep breath! Calm yourself and encourage yourself. Keep in mind, who you had to be and what you had to do in the past to overcome what appeared to be insurmountable odds. You still have that power that makes you a winner. Keep your head up. Come out swinging. Know in your heart of hearts…it is not over until you win! Because... you have something special! You have GREATNESS within you!!

You Have To Move On

Sometimes when you have outgrown the situations in your life, and you are not aware, or do not have the courage to move on ~ life will move on you. You may have been told that your company is going in another direction. You knew it was coming, and you didn’t prepare yourself. Now you are angry, and feel you were wronged. You have to move on. Your relationship of many years may have ended and you were devastated, confused and shocked. You are in pain, feel disillusioned and full of despair. However,  it is time to move on. Your mind is reeling and your heart feels as if it has been ripped out and handed to you on a platter. As hard as it will be, you have to shake it off and move on. Moving on does not mean that you give up. Moving on means that no job, relationship, house, or any other thing is worth your sanity. Do not focus on the things that you have lost. You can always get these back and much more. Focus your mind. Get still.  Go within. Tap into your GREATNESS and move on!

KEEP ON PUSHING

Keep on pushing to the next level in your life, keep on moving forward in your  life. You make your own decision in life. If you want to become successful in life, it is a must if you really mean success. Noting comes free, so accept the challenges and face the reality of pain in order to open the way towards success in your life. What decision have you made? What action, risks and faith have you taken in your life if you do mean success? Imagine yourself 3 years from now where will you be? How hungry are you to achieve success in life? Success comes your way according to the decisions you make. If you have already made your decisions of becoming successful then you have to start believing, have faith and accept pain or failure in your life because nothing comes free. So if you mean success, you have to change your mindset from fear or disappointment to focus!

‎ Hijab ban: Soldiers publicly remove veil from Muslim Woman in Lagos ‎

Two unidentified soldiers on Friday forcefully removed the veil popularly referred to as Niqab of a Muslim woman at Meran Area of Lagos. ‎ It was gathered the woman was going peacefully when two soldiers stopped and began to allegedly harass her. ‎ According to an eyewitness, identified as Adetutu, it took the intervention of passers-by and sympathisers for the Muslim woman to get her veil back. ‎ Apart from the removal veil on Friday, two images had earlier been sighted separately at Ibadan. ‎ One of the images sited and allegedly signed by 'Federal Government' at University College Hospital, Ibadan read,"Wearing of long hijab is prohibited in government establishment for security reasons". ‎ It will be recalled that this is happening few weeks to the comment that Federal Government may ban Hijab by President Muhammadu Buhari. ‎ President Buhari while ‎commenting on the continued blasts in the North-East  during his maiden media chat last Wednesday said,
