In this life ba, don't just marry someone who you love; marry someone who is kind.
My sister's ex husband used to go through the trash can to count how many sachet of pure water was used daily.
I'm about to mute this tweet now... But for those asking why, he hated our side of the family. He used to lock her inside the house whenever he's going out & forced her to put all her calls on speaker. Stopped her from going to school
He was a controlling, insecure human being.
My uncle is celebrating 20 years wedding anniversary today with his wife.
Throughout their marriage, they've not been blessed with a child. They've tried and explored many options, but Allah has not willed it - yet.
May Allah bless them with the fruits of the womb!
Back in October, her ex "kidnapped" their 3-year-old daughter from our house; a daughter he didn't Since then, we've been in court. It's excruciatingly slow, the battle for custody.
If anyone can help speed things up, please hit me up. This is four months.
Never thought this would do numbers.
So, for those asking, my sister is fine now. Alhamdulillah, thank you for asking. She has graduated as an English major from ABU, did her NYSC & is looking for a job. Location is Kaduna State, just in case ๐
Another issue is her daughter.
If you are lost in Lagos, find your way to Oshodi
If you are lost in Abuja, find your way to Area 1
If you are lost in Ibadan, find your way to Iwo road
If you are lost in Akure, find your way to Oja Oba
What if we get lost in your city?๐ค
The remains of the Pilot, Officer Ibrahim Adam, popularly known as Abba, have been found. May Allah forgive him and accept his ultimate sacrifice as Shahadah.
Nigeriaโs Air Force spokesperson said the helicopter was โdiscovered to have crashedโ without stating why, but HumAngle learnt terrorists operating in the region shot it down.
This is for those interested in traditional Hausa names and their origins.
Prof. Abdullahi Uba Adamu of BUK shared this rich piece on his Facebook page and I thought of sharing it here.
Few weeks ago, my friend & I pooled in our resources and opened a shop.
I just received a call that last night, some thieves broke in and carted away food items.
I'm broken๐
Allah Ya maida mana da alhairi.
Since the deadly train attack that has resulted to the loss of lives and abduction of innocent people, the only person that has lost his job is Sheikh Nuru Khalid.
Make it make sense.
Funny story tho.
When I was in ABU, I used to go home every weekend. My fam said I couldn't do 2 weeks w/out them.
I made a note to dare them. I didn't go home for 10 days (the longest I've been away while at school). That day, my DAD came with Bitmas bread as peace offering
The governor of the state is in Dubai.
Minister of defense is AWOL
National Security Advisor is also in Dubai
President himself is in Dubai.
Today, almost 100 innocent citizens were murdered and the army is like, "oops, it's a mistake. We did it again. Sorry".
I just changed my extended family's WhatsApp group name from "family" to "inna lillahi group" because no one ever talks there unless someone announces an obituary.
Pray for me.
Our brothers from the South East are soliciting for funds to print more copies of the Holy Qur'an translated in Igbo.
Donate & RT. Let this be your Sadaqatul Jaariyah.
This is literally me after watching Miguel's episode.
Like, I'm amazed by how every story is being stitched up nicely but yet, our hearts keep getting ripped out.

Two drivers were fighting on the road while driving.
When the one behind finally got the chance to overtake and leave, he looked at the other guy and said, "Kana hawa Focus amma ba ka da focus"
I still remember it to this day
This Islamiyya teacher just asked my 14-year-old and her classmates to write the WHOLE Suratul Baqarah because they failed to bring their haddah for ONE day.
Do you think it is a fair "punishment"?
My father was at the family house mourning his cousin when a call came through that he lost his only surviving sibling.
Despite his silence, I could see from his eyes how lost he felt at that moment. No dad, no mom and now, no brother.๐
Allah Ya gafarta ma Baba Surajo.
This is the content I signed up for on the internet.
This picture went viral and some good Samaritans on Facebook crowdfunded for his education.
Wholesome!

My friend Mustapha was stabbed in front of Arewa House last month. As we were wrapping up
@hausabaf
on Friday, one of our volunteers was also stabbed by hoodlums who snatch phones.
A police outpost should be there, along with CCTV. Thank you.
As of today, primary schl teachers across FCT are on strike. They've not been paid December salaries, no minimum wage increase, no N35k, no arrears. Area council chairmen are busy looting funds of teachers & other staff while Wike looks on
But yeah... Let's build a N1.7bn school
I was passing PZ this morning and saw a small kid manning his stand. I asked where Malam Bawa was and he told me Malam Bawa died 17 days ago.
Anyone who buys newspapers in Zaria knows this man.
I'm so sad. Allah Ya gafarta masa.
ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD
We had a perfectly iconic monument that was destroyed and replaced with this.
Now, the tiles of the new signpost are falling apart and ABU is now AMDU BELLO UNIVASIT
Bring back the old one!
Real life lesson: Dont fix what is not broken!
@FemaleRapGame
Does it matter?
Personally, I think if the barbs would focus on the music and their fave, it'll be much better. This screams insecurity on your part. Focus on solidifying your fave as an icon. You're just giving the gurls publicity & attention unnecessarily.
Scholarship opportunity
Are you from one of the 19 Northern Nigerian states or FCT Abuja, studying at the university and needing financial assistance? If yes, this scholarship is for you:
Wish you the best of luck,

Alhamdulillah.... it is my birthday๐.
Looking forward to the adventures in this 3rd floor!
If you come across this, kindly say a prayer or two for me๐
No NBA to speak out for Fatima.
No rights group clamouring for justice.
No hashtags. No outrage. Lugard is resting.
Because some lives are more valuable than others.
Northerners, wake up!
I'm scared for my sisters, my female friends, my girlfriend, my aunties, my female relatives, my neighbors, my unborn daughters... I'm scared for every single woman out there.
They deserve so much more.
No means NO.
#StopRapingWomen
Despite the country working for just few people, Northerners believe in the Nigerian project more than people from the South.
Northerners are more patriotic and take Nigeria to be home.
Was discussing with someone yesterday why I'm hesitant about Japa and we talked about Islamophobia.
Guy legit said, "if it is Hijab, I'll tell my wife to stop wearing it". I just kept quiet.
May we not sell our Aakhirah for our Dunya.

@SheIsGemini3
I see nothing wrong with Nicki replying her own song. She owns nobody an explanation or defense, especially with how everyone hates her just for being her and accusing her of having ghost writers.
S glad that
@Tunde_OD
is making waves.
I saw some young people playing chess in a slum - Jushi, Zaria the other day and man, I was so happy.
I hope we see you down here in the North soon.
Here in the North, we're going to take note of any Igbo person who don't open their shop today for the Biafra
#SitAtHome
stuff.
We will be trading with Nigerians henceforth, not Biafrans and IPOB apologists.
In Islam, one has to get caught in the act by FOUR LIVE witnesses before you can accuse them of Zina.
But someone here is saying 7/10 girls are runs girls. Our people are quick to label others as fornicators. May our words & actions not testify against us in the Day of Judgment.
Zaria water crisis.
Why is it that the elite are so quiet about this big problem?
Is it because they don't live in the main city or because they all own a working borehole in their houses?
@Speaker_Abbas
@GovKaduna
When someone says, "I've never met a northerner who's as smart as you", they're just confirming their lack of exposure.
Because there are 35976810 northerners smarter than that person.
Yeah. I just made that number up. But give or a take a few. Still holds.
This is Banzazzau, Kwarbai Zaria.
The eroded road got worse when the men laying pipes destroyed it and the rains aren't helping matters.

@elrufai
, do something about it please.
Wai exactly what do they mean by "illiterates"?
Kuna nufin wanda bai iya turanci ba? Toh mai ilimin Ajami fa? Ko na Addini? Ko larabci? Do we have to conform to their definition of "literacy"?

I wrote a tribute for the late Sarkin Zazzau.
Kindly read, retweet and pray for our late King.
โTRIBUTE TO THE LATE SARKIN ZAZZAU.โ by Salim Yunusa
Over the weekend, I was awarded the 30 under 30 Stars Award for Social Activism, recognizing my contribution to the literary space in Northern Nigeria.
I'm extremely humbled and grateful for this. A big thanks to the organisers and my family for the support.
Next stop: Forbes!
If we were to be economically buoyant, you'd not hear "pim" from them. They're just salty.
Shagalinku & Al Babello didn't undergo formal education and they're massive employers today in Zaria.
Ba dole bane boko fa. Just be enlightened. Dassol

WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN?
You people should tell
@3crownsmilk
that what is written on this billboard doesn't make sense and they've wasted their money.
Whatever they were trying to say has been lost in translation.
Engage professional translators.
Since your mutuals wonโt let you have no engagements, this one goes the other way round!
The tweet with highest retweets after 24 hours will win 50 bottles (2.5 cartons),
2nd will win 30 bottles (1.5 cartons) and
3rd will win 20 bottles (1 carton).

Every time I pass this billboard in Kaduna, I point to whoever I'm with at that time - Keke Napep man, Okada man, friends - whoever, man and proudly say, "Look, that's my friend!"
Incredibly proud of you
@iykowilliams
! Wishing you more success!
Universities, job openings and fellowships have no idea how they're missing out by insisting on candidates with a 2.1.
Grades are not a measure of intelligence. I personally have seen smarter, more creative, more determined and practical people with grades lower than a 2.1.
Still searching for where to buy your Sallah rams?
Search no more.
I sell healthy, well fed rams here in Zaria. Very affordable.
Hit me up and let's talk.
RT and support my hustle.
They carried that mental patient to Lagos to attend Davido's wedding to show the world that these are Arewa's "entertainers" and "skit makers" to reinforce the stereotype they have against northerners.
*Go to school, work hard and graduate with a 2.2 or 2.1*
TETFUND: Sorry, you're not qualified for any foreign based scholarship.
*Kill and maim people, destroy families and properties*
TETFUND: You're forgiven. Come, let's take you abroad to study.
Nigeria, my country!
This is my first attempt ever at writing a Hausa short story (ended up writing two and had a hard time deciding on going with one) and the reviews I got were encouraging and positive.
THAT alone, is a win for me.
I've never seen a more resilient people than Palestinians.
May Allah be with you in these trying times. May Islam prevail. May you take back your country & oust the oppressors!
ABU PG ENTRANCE EXAMS TOMORROW.
If you've bought ABU PG form and your department writes an entrance exams, call someone to confirm the date. Most departments are writing theirs tomorrow and only a few people got the notification.
Your RT might help someone.
Abeg, I need a sponsor for the
#ArgunguFishingFestival2020
. It has always been a dream for me to attend and write about this festival.
Twitter, make it happen.
If it were in Katsina, you'd hear that Arewa boys are being trained to be rude and condescending to females.
But it's Abu Dhabi... So, it's cute. Blame it on yourself and height.
One person I deeply appreciate his work here is
@ankaboy
!
He has consistently reported the banditry and insecurity in Zamfara state. He has never shared fake news too.
I foresee a very good future for you, man. Keep up the good work!
@Twitter
, very this man.
