@7signxx Alhamdulillah. Jazakhallahu Khairan for this.
The entire Muslim Umah needs to relate to this beautiful story with what's happening around us now.
A new world order is unfolding, and the best thing for us is to hold tight to the rope of Allah.

@sowore We must listen with a mindset to understand how our nation is run and the economic initiatives rather than combative mindset.
This speech shows we are on recovery trajectory. It's a lot easier to destroy than to build.
It's easy to run commentaries on football players.

and mobilising funding creatively without additional burden on the people. Productivity is gradually increasing in the non-oil sector, reaching new levels and taking advantage of the opportunities in the current economic ambience
12. My dear brothers and sisters, we have come this far. Coming from a place where our country spent 97% of all our revenue on debt service; we have been able to reduce that to 68% in the last 13 months. We have also cleared legitimate outstanding foreign exchange obligations of about $5billion without any adverse impact on our programmes.
13. This has given us more financial freedom and the room to spend more money on you, our citizens, to fund essential social services like education and healthcare. It has also led to our State, and Local Governments receiving the highest allocations ever in our country’s history from the Federation Account.
14. We have also embarked on major infrastructure projects across the country. We are working to complete inherited projects critical to our economic prosperity, including roads, bridges, railways, power, and oil and gas developments. Notably, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Sokoto-Badagry Highway projects will open up 16 connecting states, creating thousands of jobs and boosting economic output through trade, tourism and cultural integration
15. Our once-declining oil and gas industry is experiencing a resurgence on the back of the reforms I announced in May 2024 to address the gaps in the Petroleum Industry Act. Last month, we increased our oil production to 1.61million barrels per day, and our gas assets are receiving the attention they deserve. Investors are coming back, and we have already seen two Foreign Direct Investments signed of over half a billion dollars since then.
16. Fellow Nigerians, we are a country blessed with both oil and gas resources, but we met a country that had been dependent solely on oil-based petrol, neglecting its gas resources to power the economy. We were also using our hard-earned foreign exchange to pay for, and subsidise its use. To address this, we immediately launched our Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (CNG) to power our transportation economy and bring costs down. This will save over two trillion Naira a month, being used to import PMS and AGO and free up our resources for more investment in healthcare and education.
17. To this end, we will be distributing a million kits of extremely low or no cost to commercial vehicles that transport people and goods and who currently consume 80% of the imported PMS and AGO.
18. We have started the distribution of conversion kits and setting up of conversion centres across the country in conjunction with the private sector. We believe that this CNG initiative will reduce transportation costs by approximately 60 per cent and help to curb inflation.
19. Our administration has shown its commitment to the youth by setting up the student loan scheme. To date, 45.6billion Naira has already been processed for payment to students and their respective institutions
20. I encourage more of our vibrant youth population to take advantage of this opportunity. We established the Consumer Credit Corporation with over N200billion to help Nigerians to acquire essential products without the need for immediate cash payments, making life easier for millions of households. This will consequently reduce corruption and eliminate cash and opaque transactions. This week, I ordered the release of an additional N50billion Naira each for NELFUND – the student loan, and Credit Corporation from the proceeds of crime recovered by the EFCC
21. Additionally, we have secured $620million under the Digital and Creative Enterprises (IDiCE) – a programme to empower our young people, creating millions of IT and technical jobs that will make them globally competitive. These programmes include the 3Million Technical Talents scheme. Unfortunately, one of the digital centres was vandalised during the

BROADCAST BY HIS EXCELLENCY BOLA AHMED TINUBU, PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMED
FORCES OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ON THE NATIONWIDE PROTEST
DATE: SUNDAY 4TH AUGUST 2024
My fellow Nigerians,
1. I speak to you today with a heavy heart and a sense of responsibility, aware of the turmoil and violent protests unleashed in some of our states.
2. Notably among the protesters were young Nigerians who desired a better and more progressive country where their dreams, hopes, and personal aspirations would be fulfilled.
3. I am especially pained by the loss of lives in Borno, Jigawa, Kano, Kaduna and other states, the destruction of public facilities in some states, and the wanton looting of supermarkets and shops, contrary to the promise of protest organisers that the protest would be peaceful across the country. The destruction of properties sets us back as a nation, as scarce resources will be again used to restore them.
4. I commiserate with the families and relations of those who have died in the protests. We must stop further bloodshed, violence and destruction.
5. As President of this country, I must ensure public order. In line with my constitutional oath to protect the lives and property of every citizen, our government will not stand idly by and allow a few with a clear political agenda to tear this nation apart.
6. Under the circumstances, I hereby enjoin protesters and the organisers to suspend any further protest and create room for dialogue, which I have always acceded to at the slightest opportunity. Nigeria requires all hands on deck and needs us all - regardless of age, party, tribe, religion or other divides, to work together in reshaping our destiny as a nation. To those who have taken undue advantage of this situation to threaten any section of this country, be warned: The law will catch up with you. There is no place for ethnic bigotry or such threats in the Nigeria we seek to build.
7. Our democracy progresses when the constitutional rights of every Nigerian are respected and protected. Our law enforcement agencies should continue to ensure the full protection of lives and properties of innocent citizens in a responsible manner.
8. My vision for our country is one of a just and prosperous nation where each person may enjoy the peace, freedom, and meaningful livelihood that only democratic good governance can provide – one that is open, transparent and accountable to the Nigerian people.
9. For decades, our economy has remained anaemic and taken a dip because of many misalignments that have stunted our growth. Just over a year ago, our dear country, Nigeria, reached a point where we couldn’t afford to continue the use of temporary solutions to solve long-term problems for the sake of now and our unborn generations. I therefore took the painful yet necessary decision to remove fuel subsidies and abolish multiple foreign exchange systems which had constituted a noose around the economic jugular of our Nation and impeded our economic development and progress.
10. These actions blocked the greed and the profits that smugglers and rent-seekers made. They also blocked the undue subsidies we had extended to our neighbouring countries to the detriment of our people, rendering our economy prostrate. These decisions I made were necessary if we must reverse the decades of economic mismanagement that didn’t serve us well. Yes, I agree, the buck stops on my table. But I can assure you that I am focused fully on delivering the governance to the people - good governance for that matter.
11. In the past 14 months, our government has made significant strides in rebuilding the foundation of our economy to carry us into a future of plenty and abundance. On the fiscal side, aggregate government revenues have more than doubled, hitting over 9.1 trillion Naira in the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023 due to our efforts at blocking leakages, introducing automation

@tokunbo_wahab @mogbite @jidesanwoolu @kunle_adeshina @Lawma_gov @lswmomedia @LAGESCOfficial The drainage service is the most important task he has.
I can begin to point areas he needs to focus on to him right away.
Also he needs to spearhead a massive campaign for a change of attitude and this must be across the city to stop people from throwing trash in the drains.

Earlier today, I, the Honourable Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi @seun_osiyemi, the SA on Transportation @Sola_Giwa, the SA on the Environment, Olakunle Rotimi Akodu @rotimi_akodu , PS ODS, Engr. Mahmood Adegbite @mogbite and other stakeholders visited the Obalende underbridge, Apongbon, Ijora and National Stadium underbridge where we gave a 4-day relocation notice to all squatters under the Obalende bridge as well as illegal motor parks operators and buses who have moved to the main road.
All shanties, dwellers, traders, squatters & abandoned vehicles presently under the Obalende bridge must vacate the area by Thursday afternoon as enforcement would commence in the early hours of Friday. Also, all commercial vehicle operators who are on the main roads in Obalende must relocate to the various parks provided for them because the government has had enough of the defacement of the aesthetics of Obalende by the operators and it must now be restored.
We also inspected the ongoing clean up of Apongbon Under-Bridge, Ebute Ero and other areas to monitor the level of compliance with Mr Governor’s directive that there should be no form of trading or habitation under the bridge and all adjoining areas across Lagos State.
The government is set to sustain clean and safe environment and in a couple of months, the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK) will move in after the deadline to commence work on the beautification and landscaping of Obalende under bridge, Apongbon Underbridge, Ebute Ero underbridge, while the clean up exercise spreads across the state.
Earlier at the Ilubirin, a strategic project of the Lagos State government which is meant to regenerate Isale Eko and to do that, there is a need to get the outflow of water through the Ilubirin path.
I have also directed that the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps begin to arrest and immediately prosecute anyone crossing the highways across the State. Crossing the highways is prohibited by the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Protection Law 2017.

@renoomokri How can you share survenier without a party? Don't you know these things go with party jollof
English

@renoomokri This is what we are to do, know more about our existence. I believe you're on the right track.
There's only one God and all messangers/philosophers worshiped only 1 true God.
English

There is No Jewish, Christian, or Muslim God. There Is Only One God.
Philosophers, not prophets, founded most religions. And philosophers came up with a way to God that they thought of. They did not come up with a path to God given to them by the Creator. And they never hid it. Buddha was a philosopher. He was not and never claimed to be a prophet. Confucius was also a philosopher. And almost all other religions are tied to several gods, not one God.
If you study the paleontological origins of man, it has been established beyond a shadow of a doubt that we originated around the Horn of Africa and or the parts of the Middle East closest to Africa.
Lucy, found in the Hadar Region of Ethiopia, is still the oldest human remains, aged 3.2 million years. This corroborates Scripture in the book of Genesis, which gives Ethiopia as a landmark for the Garden of Eden, where man originated from-Genesis 2:13.
And where did Moses find God? In Ethiopia. He was married to an Ethiopian-Numbers 12:1-2. She taught him the esoteric secrets of circumcision- Exodus 4:25. And her Black African father was Moses' mentor in the way of God. And Moses obeyed him like a student even after leading the children of Israel out of Egypt-Exodus 18:24.
Moses did not found or establish a religion. He was not a Jew. He never used the term Jew throughout his life and in his writings (or the writings attributed to him).
And if you read the Old Testament, or the Tanakh, as the Hebrews call it, you won't find the word Jew.
Those you call Jews call themselves Yehudi in Hebrew, which means someone from Judah. Jews actually describe themselves as 'Disciples of Moses'. Please, John 9:28. The classification of someone as a Jew came long after Moses and is entirely man-made. Moses came to teach us about the One true, indivisible God, who has no partner, equal, or associate, as we see in Deuteronomy 6:4.
The term Yehudi, which has been translated as Jew in the English Bible, occurs 74 times in the Tanakh. And all those 74 times were in the later books. None of the books by Moses or his successor, Joshua, used that word.
It first occurred in 2 Kings 16:6 and was used not to describe a religion but as a nomenclature for a people of a kingdom.
Moses simply introduced the laws by which we can access and maintain a relationship with God.
And this brings us to the Rabbi, Yeshua Hamashiach. Yeshua, whom some people call Jesus, Never established any religion. He came to reconcile man with God and add one more law to Moses's laws.
We see that in John 13:34:
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
Yeshua never established Christianity. Even the word Christ is not of Hebrew origin. It is of Koine Greek origin. Christianity is a label given to the genuine follower of Yeshua by the townspeople of Antioch-Acts 11:26.
God Himself is not interested in religion. There is no religion in heaven. The New Testament says in Acts 10:34-35:
"God does not show favouritism. God is no respecter of persons: but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right."
Read that verse again and again. It will help you to understand God. Romans 2:14 says:
"When Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law."
Knowing God is not complicated. God Himself made it easy. Men have made it difficult, and they have done this for a purpose. To divide humanity and to monetise access to God.
God is not a God of Jews or Christians. There is only One God, without a partner, equal, or associate. He is the Most High, and He is the God of all humanity. He is the same God that Moses was introduced to in Midian and Ethiopia when he fled Egypt in Exodus 2:15. He is the same Creator who created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. And the only identity He gave them was human beings, not Jew, Christian, or Muslim. Period!

@iamtundegold @renoomokri He could have stopped for years in Egypt
English

@renoomokri Interesting perspective...
This is a highly debatable piece anyway..
The origin and existence of the Yoruba race can be traced to their ancient father ODUDUWA who migrated from the ancient city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
English

The Link Between the Yoruba and Ancient Egyptians
Many Yoruba people do not know that there is absolutely nothing like Yoruba as a people or as a language. Yoruba is a modern creation from a mispronounced Fulani derogatory term that may have been used further back.
As a language, today's Yoruba is like English, which was created as a mixture of several Germanic languages, including German, Danish and Dutch, when a mixed mash of Saxons came to Britain in the 4th Century and mixed in with the Angle tribe that was native to Britain.
When Samuel Ajayi Crowther was captured by Fulani slave traders from his village of Osogun in 1821 at the age of 12, he reported that he could neither speak nor understand the language of the villages they passed through on the way to Lagos.
These were villages in present-day Ogun and Oyo. Google it yourself. Please don’t take my word for it. At that time, there was Egba, Ijebu, Owu, Awori, Ijesha, and Ondo languages, etc.
So, how did Yoruba come about? When the Portuguese entered Eko and changed the name to Lagos, it became a prominent trading post and attracted a variety of Edekiri peoples (Edekiri is the actual name for the group of languages now referred to as Yoruba). Gradually, they evolved a mixture of their various dialects and thus began the origins of the modern language now known as Yoruba.
As Lagos grew in importance under the British, so did the new language grow in vocabulary and spread. But if you understand the pure root Edekiri language, you will understand bits and pieces of all languages spoken from modern-day Kwara, to Kogi, to Edo, to parts of Delta, and the Southwest states, all the way to Benin Republic.
When I visited Egypt, a land that was known as Kemet by the original Black inhabitants who were pushed deeper into Africa by wave after wave of invaders, my Egyptologist guide kept on mentioning names that would sound familiar to anyone aware of the pure Edekiri language, before it was diluted in Lagos.
One such names is Tiye, wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and daughter of Yuya and Tuya. Tiye was Black. This is undisputed in Egyptology. You ought to research this, or at least Google it. Her DNA was tested. The interesting thing is that the root word of Tiye’s name and the name of her parents (Yuya and Tuya) is Iye or Iya, which is the pure Edekiri word for mother.
Do you still doubt me? Okay. Let’s go deeper. Tiye’s son, who succeeded his father as Pharaoh, was Smenkhkare. Google it. That is a pure Edekiri name that is still being used as a name amongst the Edo of Benin (also called Bini). You have such similar names as Nosakhare and Nehikhare being used today.
Another of Queen Tiye’s son’s name is Akhenaten. He also became Pharaoh. This is also a root Edekiri name that is still being used in Benin to this very day. In fact, the Binis had a king (Oba) named Oba Akenzua. You will also notice a strong similarity between the ancient Egyptians and the Edekiri people- they did not write their history in words. They carved it in wood, stone, and metal, using symbols, just like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Now, let’s talk about the pyramids of Egypt, built 4600 years ago. By who? Google the Groundnut Pyramids of Nigeria. They were not built under the direction of the British. Native Hausas built them under the direction of Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, Aliko Dangote's great-grandfather, just like Black people once built the pyramids in Egypt.
Do you know that there was a pyramid in the ancient Benin kingdom? They were in front of the Oba's palace. They are gone because they were bombed in 1897 by the British. But not before a Christian missionary took a photo of it. That is the photo you are seeing with this post.
