My fellow brethren, how could death be so scary to this extent? How could we live without dying? How can we secure our families from the tournament of death? For indeed, it pains to lose our valuable citizens who have the ambition in driving our nation to her greatness. The documentary analysis of our great leader can't be over emphasized. The  Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari,  has imparted indirectly and vastly the lives of Nigerians. He had been recognized for his hardworking and intellectual abilities which had led him as an indisputable leader during his lifetime. Mallam Abba Kyari (17 November 1938 - 17 April 2020) was  a great Nigerian politician who had worked diligently under the president of Nigeria as the Chief of staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, who also felt so sad for the deceased. He had his education in the University of Warwick, and his Alma mater in the following institutions: University of Cambridge, Nigerian Law School, Harvard Business Schoo...

It is with great sadness that I write this article. Corona virus is  such a dreadful virus which isn't new to the world anymore. If there are still some set of people whose belief is that this dreadful pandemic is a mere joke is causing theirselve more harm than good. Abba  kyari's death undisputably an immense  loss to his family,friends,the constituency  and the constitutes, most especially, the president. Nevertheless, the federal governments has to take heart and do justice while moaning his demise.  Subsequently, Abba Kyari, who was the former chief of staff was known to be a coolheaded man and a man if integrity, who was until his demise has been a submissive leader to staffs under him and a diligent follower to the federal governments as they just lose an indispensable confidant. Equally of note is that these aforementioned people shouldn't brood over it deeply as we're all humans and shall all taste death, only that our time frequency is diff...

Who Will You Choose: Abba Kyari Or Hungervirus? By Hafeezoh Adekola

What do you do when what you keep avoiding  wanting you?  What do you do when what you care more or less about becomes a tiny bone in your trachea?  What do you do when an unseen scandalous pandemic causes you distraught?  How do you feel when it keeps sweeping people to a land of no return?  Let the answer rolls in your heart.  To start with, it would be a slap to humanity and a massacre to my pride if I decide to turn a blind eye to the evil that befell the Nation lately. Abba Kyari's death is supposed to be an eye opener to the citizens that have inadvertently turned a blind eye to the ongoing pandemic Covid-19 as they think it is scam which the government establish to squander the citizens. I kept pondering upon who actually is selfish? Is it the government, or the subjects? Then, I realized we're all fighting for our rights lackadaisically, paying no attention to its consequences as everyone wants his opinion to be strictly adhere to. Peopl...

POEM: The Unavoidable Pandemic By Mutohhir AbdulHamid Olanrewaju

  Aso rock says to stay at home; NCDC says to stay safe; The SUBJECTS says it's like a prison; Regardless of the real prisoners; Regardless of the danger that lurks in the dark for them; They keep lamenting it's like imprisoning them; What about the real prisoners?  Who has no home to stay; Talk less of staying stafe; Why are we not contented?  Why do we tend to lament about everything?  When there are tons of people who doesn't have a roof on their head; Why can't we be considerate?  Yet we keep on ranting that ASO ROCK is our problem; What do you do when you can't sleep?  What do you when ur obligations becomes optional?  How do you feel when y're unable fufil ur expected duties?  The answer you get is applicable to the prisoners/homeless; Whose pandemic is unavoidable; Whose unsafeness is irresistible; Why can't we just take precautions?  To avoid story that touches the heart; Why don't we reflect on the current chaos?  An...

Why I Choose To Wear Hijab: An Open Letter To My Muslim Sisters By Adisa Aminat Olabisi

Image
It is so unfortunate and quite pathetic that the world now celebrates the wrong- in all its shade- and admires nudity. Ironically, muslim women are vilified for adorning the full Hijab, particularly the way their Lord has prescribed. However, if you realize how transient this life with its joys is, and how unpredictably or quickly the conditions change, you will not feel any regrets for doing the right thing, or ever despair for whatever passes you by or feel sad about things said to you in mockery. For you have the hereafter which is greater than this world and even everlasting.  As much as wearing the hijab is brave and commendable, you must never forget that it comes with responsibilities and challenges.  My dearest sister in the deen, knowledge and proper understanding precede action. Thus, the question becomes, do you perfectly understand the HIJAB (Muslim women's dress as stipulated by the Shari'ah (Divine Law) of Islam with a particular emphasis on the jilba...

POEM: The Irresistible Fact By Hafeezoh Adekola

When I woke up in the morning; I begin to wonder if everyday'd be like this; If every morning could be as bright as this; If every being could never evacuate; Something keeps triggering my pen; How did the designer designed us?  Is it to be wore and dump?  Is it to be used and be useful?  Why did He Promised us one thing?  And the designer said it's applicable to us all I begin to wonder what it might be?  Why is it so equal regardless of equity?  Why must we alight at the same destination?  When we didn't board the bus the same day?  Why must we be leveled up the same way?  When our sizes differs.....  We're left with no choice; For the designer always fulfills His promises  Ours is to wait earnestly for its reckons!!!  For from dust to dust we return; Regardless of your wealth; Regardless of your level of impoverishment; Regardless of your status/race; Regardless of level of famous; We're all entitled to one thing...
