The day we start to disgrace public officials who steal our money instead of worshipping them is the day they will stop stealing. We are a society that has lost its moral fabric to materialism and money. Your respect depends on how much money you have, regardless of how you

I am pleased to announce that @TTlabs_vc just raised a $20m fund to help bridge the gap in Angel investment for startups & founders from Northern Nigeria. Thanks to all our amazing partners who came through for us 😁

If you have nomadic Fulani family members, please foster some of their kids out of the forest so they can go to school. The nomadic Fulanis are suffering from serious illiteracy, both religious and western. It makes those kids easy targets for recruitment.

@Aysogzy I don’t know about that Ayso, what I know is my own family has not even moved an inch from there they are and are not in any anyway involved in this. Should every Hausa Fulani person be punished for the crime of a few? Those that committed those crimes should face justice

A lot of people have lost their homes in this clash and are seeking refuge in houses of strangers as they have no family members in Oyo. People need help to rebuild their lives. Most importantly they need food to start with. Please donate to @Waspapping_ & @Mubarack_Umar

Alhamdulillah for the man I am married to! For his mindset, for his fear of Allah in the way and manner, he deals with family. I am really grateful for the type of men Allah saved me from.

Had a great time speaking to @GuardianNigeria about how technology could be a game-changer for women in Northern Nigeria. I look forward to working with partners such as @TechTanks , @StartupKano and @AltSchoolAfrica to facilitate this discussion and provide guidelines-

When I call you then that’s the time I am prepared to talk, if you don’t pick up and call back later, I will likely not be prepared to talk at that time. I have talking moods!

This far-from-home movie triggered so many points in my life. How scholarship is a great opportunity for children from low-income families to get a better education. I remember when I wrote a scholarship exam with 600 other students from government schools in Abuja.

This Northern intelligence thing is the same thing black people used to or still get when white people wonder how you are black and so smart. What kind of myopic mindset is this?

I honestly don’t think people marrying shortly after dating someone were double dating. My husband & I were about to marry other people 2 months before our wedding, they were not ready, so we got married. We only met and dated for 62 days.

This is everyone though. Which man has loved a woman not because of something? Beauty, family wealth, intelligence/brain, her wealth, religious practices etc. Nobody marries the other person without a condition upon which they claim to love them as a result.

Marriage is about goodness to each other. You cannot force a woman to be good or submissive to you. This is part of the reasons we have very high divorce rate. Be the best you can to your wife and you will be shocked how much she can go out of her way to do the same.

I have seen many cases where a couple starts from humble beginnings, 20 years down the line the man gets rich, divorce is 20 years wife and marries a “modern wife”. 20 years of commitment, with children. What happens to these women? Where is justice for them?

I know a lot of people that are not campaigners (actual voters) that voted for Buhari but are now more inclined towards Kwankwaso. This election will be interesting

The next thing I have to cleanse is my Instagram of Arewa blogs. There is absolutely nothing productive people talk about apart from marriage and constant abuse of women and those women living under it and saying Haka Allah yayi. My heart cannot take it abeg,every man for himself

Can we start a mass tree-planting exercise this Ramadan? It is Sadaqatul-Jariya, plus we get to do it in Ramadan. Tag any reliable charities planting trees around the country below 👇
