Powerful words!!! Thanks to @thejidetaiwo and @TheLuu01 for bringing them to my attention

This is why I say “leaderless Iran is brutal” There is no one to seek out for negotiations.

@Olag0ke The news on Jerusalem Post and Times of Israel jpost.com/israel-news/de…

@AuthenticLagos Where him source 😂

Guess Iran also infiltrated Israel same way Israel infiltrated Iran. The only difference is that they had different focus during the infiltration

@le_capone They have sent evacuation note to Doha civilians 😭😭😭 Qatar has suffered more devastating hits than UAE

@AuthenticLagos More than the UAE? Qatar has the largest US base tho.

What did Qatar do Iran exactly? They are the greatest victims 😭😭😭

@Lanredeola The plot twist was unexpected cuz I was about to reply that Alhaji was wrong saying eating his Christian wife’s meal would spoil his fast 😂😂😂😂

MY HYBIRD FAMILY (2) Like I said earlier, I was born into a hybrid family of a Muslim father and a Christian mother. My dad became an Alhaji while my mum became a church minister. I was barely 13 when my mum started teaching me to cook and do domestic chores. My only sister had left for the university, and among the three boys, I was the soft one that Mummy could grab and tie to her wrapper. It was Ramadan time when Muslims all over the world observe the annual 30-day fast. This had been a regular ritual in our home since I was a kid. Dad forced us to participate in fasting from when I was 11. We had to wake up in the middle of the night to take sahur, the early morning meal that prepared us for the fasting. We would break the fast at sunset. I had just turned 13 that year when Dad called me and instructed me to start preparing his meals during Ramadan. He told me we were Muslims, hence unbelievers (Mummy) should not prepare our meals in the holiest month of the year. I started doing it dutifully and faithfully. I was cooking dinner the first evening when Mum came into the kitchen to help. I retorted, “Don’t touch it!” She looked at me, confused, but reached out again. I screamed, “Daddy said you shouldn’t touch it. It will spoil his fasting!” “Abi nkan se iwo and awon baba nla babe e, ni?” (Is something wrong with you and your forefathers?) However, when she saw I saw serious, she left me furious and went into her room. I realized her rage, and I was scared, but I was adamant that I would preserve Daddy’s fast. When Daddy came back, I served and told him how furious Mummy was. He said “Well done, Abdul Kabir. You did well. Don’t worry, I will talk to your mother.” Later that night, I overheard the two of them talking with mummy raging and ranting about what I did. Calmly, Daddy told her not to worry about it and that God gave them a wonderful son. “At this stage and condition, you should be grateful to God that you have a boy-child who is ready to help with all chores and cooking. Sit back, let him handle it and let’s thank God for his life.” The following morning, my name changed from Lanre to ‘Omo Alhaji’ (Alhaji’s son). “Omo Alhaji, wa lo lo at awa o!” (Alhaji’s son, go and grind pepper) “Omo Alhaji, wa lo s’oja o.” (Alhaji’s son, time to go to the market) My chores doubled from then on. I fetched water, ground corn, and sieved it to make pap. I grated water yams and made Ikokore. Alhaji never complained about the taste. Most times, Mum would supervise the meals I cooked, but I made sure she didn’t touch them. I would wake by 3am daily, cook sahur and serve Daddy, before taking another hour of nap and going to school. When I came back from school, I would cook our dinner, which served as Iftar. There was a day Mummy told me that Alhaji preferred pepper ground on a stone. She brought out an agelong grinding stone, probably inherited from her own mother. She told me to chop the pepper I bought and supervised me while I ground it. I did it with my whole heart and energy. Daddy’s prayers must be answered. My fingers were on fire from the spicy pepper for a whole week afterwards. (Iya ma je mi o!) A few days after the fasting, I was watching TV in the sitting room and two of them were talking. It led to an argument that made me pay attention. It appeared they were arguing about changing or not changing an antenatal clinic. I didn’t know when I screamed, “Mummy, you are pregnant?” What followed was an awkward silence. Mummy looked at Daddy, but Daddy suddenly took an interest in the cup of water he was drinking. I looked at him, but his countenance told me never to probe further. I had never felt so disappointed in my life. All this while I was waking up to cook Sahur for this man, running errands and preparing Iftar, preventing his unbelieving wife from touching his holy meals so that his prayers could be answered, he was busy impregnating his wife. This was the height of betrayal! Mummy later lost the pregnancy due to complications. I took great care of the home during the period, going to the market and cooking for everyone. This brought us closer. Later, she admitted how Daddy played us. Apparently, she got pregnant 10 years after the lastborn, when they thought they were done having kids. She was still in the early stage of the first trimester when Ramadan came. She had complained to Alhaji that owing to her pregnancy, she would not be able to cope with the stress of cooking at Sahur and Iftar. Now, neither of them knew how to break the news of the pregnancy to us. I suppose, like most parents of their era, they wanted us to find and figure it out ourselves. As per eating during Ramadan, the only way to solve the problem of mummy not being available to cook, was for Daddy to pull a fast one on me with the story of his food being holy (not touched by his unbelieving wife) in the holiest month of the year!

@AlfaYalayala There are 57 countries in OIC; more than 70% won’t get involved in the war. He is a joker

They can go ahead. They are about to be exposed.

@Olag0ke Yes! But I am not sure he is really considered in the scheme of things for now

@AuthenticLagos But he’s like the only one alive.

President nko?

@AlhajiZykson My brutal tweet had to do with the “unaccountability of the members of Iran leadership” as everyone can take actions and there is no one to seek for peace talks. You are the one bringing up civilians target to justify your support. You could have asked for clarity on my tweet

@AuthenticLagos I'm saying you won't just view it as or never seen it as brutal when Israel targets civilians. That's exactly what my tweet is pointing

The civilians that Israel used white phosphate on in Lebanon do no matter to you? The RT journalists that Israeli airforce attacked were military officers? Maybe you should apply your logic across board. I didn’t make a comment on Israel in the tweet you quoted.

@Olag0ke @Focuzjunior …from Iran. If the Arab neighbours cannot maintain such neutrality even if they have relationships with US, then Iran is right to consider them enemies. I would do just that if Cameroon or Benin does same to Nigeria

@Olag0ke @Focuzjunior The country who allowed their country to be used to launch attacks already isolated them and doesn’t consider them friends. It is okay to accept that condition and act it out accordingly. Despite Iran not part of the Israel-Arab war, no attack was fired on the Arab nations…

@AlhajiZykson You are the one quoting my tweet with what I didn’t say.

@AuthenticLagos All I'm saying is that it's brutal 😂

@Olag0ke @Focuzjunior …French military to use launch attacks, will you consider it a bad strategy for Nigeria to keep bombarding Cameroon or Benin? That’s exactly what is happening with Iran and Qatar.

@Olag0ke @Focuzjunior Since you believe Qatar’s act was putting Qatar first, we can also agree Iran’s act is about putting Iran first too. Why should I trust a neighbor that provides the platform for me to attacked? If France and Nigeria is at war and Benin or Cameroon provides their base for the…

You didn’t state this position when Israel used white phosphate on civilians in Lebanon or attacked RT journalists. Suddenly you are remembering morality when it comes to Iran. Guess Dimona was also civilian target too

@Olag0ke @Focuzjunior What’s the essence of the go-between that allows their country to be used to launch attack. It shows that there was no relationship in the first instance and Iran was right to disavow such relationship

@AuthenticLagos @Focuzjunior Iran is fully isolated as it is cause Qatar for the longest time was the go between. Qatar and Oman

Ehya… you expected docility

A leaderless Iran is brutal. You guys should allow them have leaders in peace

Can he tell us the 50 Muslims nations. Several members of the OIC won’t join in the rally, so he should wake up and smell the coffee
