Dear all,

You may recall some few months back we posted a picture of a homeless man on the Naibawa bridge, kano.

Which as a result you donated items and rented an apartment for him in order to take him off the street.
After kano state Hisbah board and other relevant authorities concerning that homeless old man on the bridge, we where able to take him to his new rented apartment.

But unfortunately weeks later we discovered he has left the apartment and is back on the bridge.
Further investigations revealed that the man is mentally disturbed and has been affected by Jinns

He prefers staying on that bridge and all efforts to take him back to the rented proved abortive

We saw the need to inform you as you are also stakeholders on his issue. Thank you.

18 TOP TIPS FOR RAISING GOOD CHILDREN
by @muftimenk

1. Praise your child, even if they get 4/10 in an exam, praise your child in front of others.

2. Never make your child feel that he or she is useless. Never favour one child over the other.
3. Every time you speak with your children, speak with respect, say “Jazakallahu khair ”, etc. Don’t use slang such as ‘gimme’, instead say ‘please give me’; use clear words, be polite and never swear.
4. You need to bear in mind when your child is young that he or she is just a child, don’t take away their playing time by treating them like adults. If you do this, they will rebel in life.

TWENTY REASONS WHY QUEEN AMINA OF ZARIA NEVER EXISTED

By Ndagi Abdullahi

1 – The earliest Zaria traditions never mentioned Queen Amina of Zaria.
2 – The people of Zaria first heard of Queen Amina of Zaria from two non-Zaria sources, namely, the Kano Chronicle from Kano & the Infakul Maisuri from Sokoto

3 – The utterly Islamic name Amina was not a Hausa name in the 16th century that Queen Amina was supposed to have lived
4 – The Queen Amina of Zaria described by the Kano Chronicle is completely different from the Queen Amina of Zaria described by the Infakul Maisuri.

NIGERIA IS FACING A SERIOUS SECURITY CHALLENGE SO IF YOU MUST DO INTER-STATE TRAVEL NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Schedule it between 9am to 4pm. Don't leave too early and don't be caught in the late hours.
2. Remove titles from your phone contacts. Example: Hon, Alhaji, Chief, Inspector and military ranks in general.

3. While driving, focus on the road and ensure that every 5-7 minutes, there is traffic on the returning lane.
4. Try not to exceed 100km per hour so you can make your judgements timely. It will also help you look out for traps and appreciate the terrain.
