 Ramadan: Respect Muslims don't eat in public during fasting hours — Cleric tells Nigerians 

The Chief Imam, Falomo Lagos Central Mosque, Dr Tajudeen Adebayo, said the public should respect the sensibility of the fasting Muslim faithful by avoiding eating in their presence.


Adebayo said that eating in public during the hours of fasting debases the sensibility of those fasting and could discourage people from the self-denial ritual.

The Cleric spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Thursday, against the backdrop of some Muslims that were caught eating when they should be fasting.


It was reported that Hisbah, the Islamic Police, on Wednesday in Kano arrested 10 men and a female groundnut vendor for allegedly eating in public during the hours of fasting. The Hisbah spokesperson, Mr Lawal Fagge, who confirmed the arrest, said that the men were arrested near a Kano market while the female vendor was caught eating from her wares. Fagge said that the arrest was facilitated by a tip-off from onlookers.


Commenting on the incident, the Lagos cleric said that in an ideal Islamic setting, fasting during Ramadan is sacred and should be respected by all. Fasting is mandatory for every mature, healthy Muslim who is not on a journey. Exempted from fasting are sick people, travellers, the elderly, and pregnant and breastfeeding women who cannot bear it. Women who are experiencing their monthly flow or childbirth blood are exempted too.


However, those who have excuses valid enough to be exempted from fasting, either permanently or tentatively, are expected. It is courteous for others to respect the sensibility of those who are fasting by not eating publicly. According to him, it is on that ground of insensitivity to the feelings of the general public that they were arrested.

    What I will say about this is this should not be happening, Nigeria is not an Islamic country and there should not be any arrest for any citizens that are not fasting or Cristians who eat in the public.

    In Nigeria you're free to chose any religion of your choice.

    Life and living should not be hard for Nigerians when the Muslims are fasting and what I know is Islam preaches peace why KANO people want to turn it to pieces?

The Man Who Destroy Nigeria is Aliko Dangote - Know Way By Reading This.

By
 The thief... Aliko Dangote. Late President Umaru Musa Yar’ adua,  during his reign, he refused to see Dangote even with all his lobbyists. President Yar ‘Adua was quick to tell him Dangote to stay away from his Government.  President Yar‘ adua issued 6 companies representing the six geopolitical zones three licenses each; Bagged cement License, Bulk Cement Licence and Backward Integration License.  True to their promise, these six companies including Bua, Ibeto and Madewell cements, were able to bring down the price of cement to less than N800 per bag from over N1500 per 50kg bag then.  Dangote became so frustrated because he couldn’t compete, always wanting to sell his products at exorbitant rates.  Unfortunately for Nigeria, President Yar’ Adua died and a clueless President Goodluck Jonathan became the President of Nigeria. Aliko Dangote petition Goodluck Jonathan against these six companies requesting for the stoppage of cement importation and that only the Backward Integration Lic

By
There are strong indications that the federal government is favourably disposed to raising the minimum wage to as high as N200k per month as demanded by the organised labour in the country. However, state governors are urging for caution while Anambra State governor Charles Soludo has been asked to chair a Technical Working Group (TWG) to resolve the issues and its various dimensions. LEADERSHIP gathered that the matter was discussed at the last month's National Economic Council (NEC) meeting and it was there that the Salaries, Incomes & Wages Commission made a presentation on how the federal government can meet up with the demand of N200,000 per month minimum wage. Sources, who spoke with Empowered News Network, revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is specifically and personally convinced that the demand of the organised labour is not unrealistic pointing to his campaign promises as a proof of his readiness to handle the challenge.

Major Findings About Tinubu From The Chicago University Documents [FULL LIST].

By
The release of President Bola Tinubu's academic records by Chicago State University has raised questions about his past. On Monday, the university released Tinubu's academic records, following requests by Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections. In a finding by a popular columnist and social commentator, Farooq Kperogi, there are various questions raised with the release of these documents. In a commentary on Tuesday, Kperogi said that the certificate that Tinubu submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is inconsistent with the certificates that CSU issued in 1979 and, subsequently, indicating that Tinubu forged his. Kperogi also said that the Southwest College transcript that Tinubu used to get admitted to Chicago State University belongs to a female. He said that this reality seems to validate uncorroborated but long-standing whispers from the grapevine that Tinubu, who was allegedly born Lamidi Amoda [Yor

A New Dawn for Osun State: Governor Ademola Adeleke's Transformative Leadership

By
 A New Dawn for Osun State: Governor Ademola Adeleke's Transformative Leadership. The recent decision taken by Gov Ademola Adeleke in Osun State mark a significant departure from the past, signaling a promising era of progress and prosperity for its citizens. Gone are the days of empty promises and neglect, as Governor Adeleke has ushered in a new paradigm of governance characterized by tangible actions and genuine concern for the welfare of the people. Under the previous administration of APC, Osun State grappled with numerous challenges, including the dismal state of its civil service. Civil servants endured the frustration of paper promotion letters without the necessary financial backing, a practice emblematic of the neglect and disregard they faced. The era of half salaries, understaffing, and poor workers' welfare cast a shadow over the state, leaving its workforce demoralized and disenchanted. However, Governor Adeleke's commitment to revitalizing Osun State has brou
