AS MUSLIMS MARK EID FITR

-
Muslims all over the world celebrate the Eid Fitr to mark the end of the Ramadan fast and it is celebrated on the 1st day of shawwal, according to the Islamic calendar. As Muslim faithfuls mark this year's Eid even in the midst of covid 19, we should use this opportunity to pray for our dear nation and extend our hands of love to our neighbors, friends and well wishers.

As we celebrate this feast, let's not be carried away by the fun fare that comes with it and disregard the covid 19 guidelines. For muslims in Kano State and other locations where the lockdown was relaxed to enable them attend the Eid prayers, they must reciprocate this kind gesture by strictly adhering to the government's directive on social distancing, wearing of face masks, washing of hands and use of hand sanitizers. We must not endanger the lives of family and community.

The Nigerian muslim community must use this moment as a sober reflection and ensure that their actions, and daily lives are guided by the teachings of the Quran and the sunnah of the prophet Muhammad PBUH. Every blessed day that we witness is testament that we are an inch closer to our graves. Let's be guided please, the mundane of this world can never be compared to Akhira (blissful hereafter). As muslims, we should stop embezzling public funds and spend it on hajj and umrah in saudi Arabia, we should not feast on the inheritance of orphans and we must never bear false witness no matter the pressure we are subjected.


In the spirit of the celebration, let us sit and reflect, and use the occasion to right our wrongs, get closer to Allah, and become better muslims. Nigeria is a very religious country, but even as we virtually sleep in mosques and churches, we do not fear God, our Iman is the lowest. A Nigerian can come back from Hajj, resume work the next week, and boom! He steals a Billion naira from public purse. We should practice what we preach, because no matter how we pretend. Allah is all seeing and all knowing.

SALVATION IS HERE.

-
Rom.13.11 - And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The lock down of religious centres especially the church has caused a lot of controversy but in times like this, Paul reminds us that now is our salvation nearer than before. Now in your homes, you can still see the salvation power of the Lord.  Now in the market, you can still see the salvation power of the Lord changing the hearts of people. Now, this time! This hour! Despite the lock down, we still see the salvation power of the Lord.  If only,  Thou canst believe, Thou shall see the glory of the Lord.  If only,  We awake out of our sleep, We will see God's salvation power. Selah, God bless you. Pastor Olugbami Emmanuel  Markudi  Emmanuelosiaabomo@gmail.com

LATE P.N.B DANIA, A QUINTESSENTIAL EDUCATIONIST

Am still trying to find the right words to convey how I feel about your demise. Daddy was so dedicated to his duties as a father and a teacher.  Years may have rolled by, but you will forever remain indelible in our hearts. I remembered my first day at Mayfair, the school you tenaciously built from the scratch, I wasn't really happy leaving home for a boarding school, but daddy was very supportive and I promptly settled. I haven't seen a teacher who is as committed as you were, and I do not think I can find another as diligent and dutiful as you.  Its pertinent to note that, for everyday that I spent under your guidance and tutelage, you instilled in all of us, the essence of time, the need to be clean and ensure our environments are tidy and the need to push, to be better than we were the previous day. For six years, even at old age, you will wake us up by 4 am, ensure we are present for your 7am class, and no matter how large the  population in class was, you will still...

NOW THAT NIGERIA IS POLIO FREE

Poliomyelitis is an infectious disease caused by the polio virus. it literally causes the muscles weakness and in most times results in inability of victims most especially young people to walk. For decades, Nigeria and the rest of Africa have battled this disease without and in sight. This is partly due to the expletive tendencies of our health policies in solving our health challenges.    It would be fiendish and illogical if we blame government and her institutions alone for the endemic polio disease that has ravaged  our country in years and negatively swayed the future of millions of kids notably in Northern Nigeria. According to the   International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies,  Nigeria’s northern states are the last reservoir of naturally occurring wild polio virus in Africa.  The states of Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, Kaduna, Kano and Katsina, are especially at high risk, mainly due to the mobile nature of the population. This me...
