There is no religion that forbids Polygamy. NONE!

We attended a guidance and counseling session at a girls' secondary school. The principal invited us into her office and warned us never to discuss anything with the girls beyond the purpose of our visit. We agreed. In the hall, one girl answered most of the questions—so much so that she was eventually stopped from participating in the quizzes. I was impressed by her sheer intelligence, so I asked someone who she was. It turned out she was the Senior Prefect. That was the only information I sought. I kept my composure. Back home, I told my aunt about the girl and how I felt about her. She promised to gather more details for me. Days passed. Then weeks. Then months. I kept pressing my aunt for updates. My feelings only grew stronger. I found myself constantly reimagining the exact moment I first laid eyes on her—how beautiful she was, and how brilliantly she answered nearly every question. Then, one evening, while I was at an Indomie junction waiting for my order, my phone rang. I checked and saw it was my younger sister. I hesitated but eventually decided to answer. She screamed at the top of her voice, "Yaya Abdull, guess what?" I replied, "What?" She said, "We just got the phone number of the SP!" The way I jumped up, one would think I'd been promised Jannah. I had to send my sister some money as a token of appreciation. I left the Indomie spot without eating—I suddenly felt a sense of fullness in my stomach. I just headed back to class (I was still a student then). Happy. Fulfilled. Hopeful. All mixed with a hint of dread! Exactly at 9:00 p.m., I sent her a message that read: "Assalamu Alaikum. My name is Abdullahi. I am one of the students from UDUS who visited your school some months ago. I was impressed by your performance, and I would like to discuss something important with you. What's the best time for me to call?" She replied the next morning: "9:00 p.m." So, I waited patiently. At exactly 9:00 p.m., I placed the call. She picked up almost immediately. After exchanging greetings, she asked what important matter I wanted to discuss. I told her, "I want to marry you." The response caught her off guard. A long silence followed. I think she even ended the call. I had to call back and reiterate my intentions. She said she'd have to think about it. I agreed; she needed time to process my request. The call took place on Monday, September 24, 2018. We got married on Friday, March 3, 2023. On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, we celebrated our third anniversary. PS: She maintained her brilliance even at university level. She graduated with a First Class Degree.

Non issue. There's no situation when another person has the right to your body. Those who insist on the rights of the unborn are deeply unserious. They come from either a spiritual view, personal responsibility or punishment all of which are nonsense in this regard.

Abortion must be legal in Nigeria. Full stop. Women deserve rights over their own bodies, not laws written to control them.

There has never been a single human being who has memorised even one chapter of the Bible in the entire world. But even in my own family, I can name 10 people who have memorised and can interpret the entire Qur’an. Let’s not even talk about my students, let alone our school.
