Dear Nigerian Leaders,

The increase in joblessness in the country, coupled with several other socio-economic disadvantages that stares directly into the eyes of a Nigerian youth is sure something you must address before anything. Majority of you are from very humble or even poor
backgrounds. May be you have quickly forgotten how life was then, because you are now in the corridors of power. Actually things haven't changed for good. If anything, things are worse now. When you were in the shoes of these youths, many of you had free education, or were
sponsored to study overseas. Many of you had automatic jobs before you even finish and above all, the economy was still good & you could afford three square meals without any trouble. That is not the case today. Affording a single meal in Nigeria today is hard for many of us.
We still struggle to pay our bills. May of us are out of school because we cannot afford it, not because we do not know the value of education. Many of us have old parent to cater for, but we cannot do that because we do not have even what to cater for ourselves.
The few of us that are in the university have been at home for months, b cause you failed to settle the demands of the university teachers & improve the state of our universities. For those of us that have graduated, years after the compulsory national service, we are yet to see
a job that we can manage to keep body and soul together. Then, what exactly is left for us in this country of ours? You all know we are not that lazy, even though there are so many lazy ones among us, just as you also have lazy ones among you. But we are sure we are trainable.
We also know that the world generally is facing an economic downturn, but we also know that the country has enough to go round and get to us the masses, if only you will cut your greed, especially from the @NGRSenate @nassnigeria and state governors, and allow the money flow.
If you will agree to the minimum wage that we are struggling to get, the salary of one Nigerian senator can employ 30 very productive production engineers that can work to develop the country. Are we not part of this country that you have decided to sideline us? Life no balance!
Please rethink. Think over and again, and understand that the earlier we come together to fix this country the better for us.

~This is the prayers of a Nigerian youth.

The conventionprinted media has always been biased against the North and Muslims in Nigeria, and this hasn't changed with the new media. We saw the power of social media in the Nigerian space with regards to #EndSARS and the #Lekkitollgate shootings. Now, 158 Nigerians have been
massacred in #oyigboMassacre but there is no outrage. The killers are the IPOB terrorists, & those that championed the Endsars protest on social media are deliberately not interested in these killings because those Nigerians killed are the endangered species, the Hausas.
Every step describes how hypocritical you lots have always been, and how not ready for a smooth justice system we are in Nigeria, if even murders of 100s are covered for obvious reasons.

We call for justice to be served with no further delay.

The call for justice in Nigeria, especially when Hausa Muslims are involved has never been fair. To these clownish hypocrites, it is not an issue when over 150 innocent traders are being killed for simply being Hausas. This is the Nigeria we are living in.
While we discourage northerners from taking any form of reprisals, we demand a swift action by the Governors of these states where the terrorists group IPOB attacked and killed our brothers. We also demand from our governors in the North to stand up for these people.

MORE THAN EVER, WE ARE UNDERSTANDING THE WISDOM BEHIND ZAKĀT (POOR-DUE CHARITY) IN ISLÃM

The scholars have mentioned several reasons why Allah, the most high, made it compulsory on every wealthy person to give part of his wealth to the poor, at least once every year.
Allāh did not create us all equal. In His wisdom, He created some very wealthy & some not. He created some male & others female. He created some blacks & some white. He has mandated that those among us that are blessed with wealth should give a portion of that wealth to those
that do not have it. This, among others will instill in the hearts of the wealthy people the love & mercy of the poor, and in return instill love & mercy in the heart of the poor towards the rich.

Thus, Allah made Zakāt one of the five pillars of Islam. It means, your Islām is

Dear @NigeriaGov,

From the FG to states, remember that your responsibilities as leaders aren't just to build roads & bridges. It is also your responsibility to provide us good health, security and what to eat. Yes, it is the duty of the leader to ensure that nobody goes hungry.
There is an avoidable hunger in the land. There is an anger in the people. A hungry man is inadvertently an angry man. The policies with which you're governing us need to be revisited. You need to work on them & see how they can be friendly to us the masses. It is not about you,
it is more about us, because we are the majority in Nigeria and we pay you to serve us. We elect you into offices and you must make life bearable to us.

To everyone who has a means of making life easy for his people and refused to do, either because he shows less concern, or

Ok, on @adamugarba's post:

Let me make it clear, that I do not make posts to please anyone, a friend or a foe. I make posts that even before God, I believe I am right whether someone is offended or not. On this app, I have exchanged words with many, including Adamu here.
I have never known him from Adam, & I have never met him. We agree on certain things & disagree on others, which applies even to the people I m closest to in real life here, @_abba_g is one & I criticise political leaders I respect, like HE @elrufai, & mentors like @DrIsaPantami.
I do not know how I missed this post even though we follow each other with Adamu. I checked if I had muted his posts, but I didn't. The short of the long story is, I would have disagreed with Adamu the moment I see the post. Although you cannot do away with political inclinations
