Information in this thread was written long before the current IPOB insurgency, but it is perfectly fitting into its narrative. Replace Ojukwu with Kanu in it, and everything will be clear where this whole thing is heading to.

PS: I didn't author it.

Please enjoy it!

Thread. *THOSE WHO DO NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT*

So many scholars of the Biafran war history, has always said that the war was instigated by the killing of Igbos in the North.

Arewa Twitter has been struggling with sharply conflicting views on morality for a while. This calls for clarity:

Allah praised Muslims in the Quran as the best nation ever sent to this world because they call to what is good and forbid what is evil (moral condemnation) Q3:110. This, however, doesn't mean moral condescension (what Gimba and his ilk ignorantly or mischievously mix-up as moral condemnation) is permissible.

Let us ask ourselves for a moment what the implication of collective silence on the erosion of our moral values is.

Toyota, this is unacceptable!

I bought a new Toyota Corolla 2013 (South Africa) back in 2015. I have since been driving it without issues. However, something mysterious happened on the 3rd of June, 2020.

Thread. On the day before (2nd of June), I returned home around 7:30pm, and parked the car without any issue. To my utter shock, my neighbours woke me up around 7:00am the following day (3rd June) to inform me that my car was on fire.

A word for Emir Sunusi

Wise people say for every place there's a befitting remark, and for every remark, there's a befitting place. Those who understand this saying, understand why some of us fault Emir Sunusi's emotional outbursts against the North at any given opportunity. There are appropriate forums (ACF, NSCIA, JNI, etc) for bitter truth-telling, and such forums are very much accessible to the emir.

No, Muslim Women Don’t Need Careers To Be Empowered

By Umm Khalid

Thread. We have some voices in the western Muslim community, both online and in real life, with well-intentioned but ultimately vacuous ideas about Muslim women, ideas that play right into the hands of the very Islamophobes they are trying to fight.

The touching story of Abdurraheem Abdulkadir Maijamaa

Thread: Back when I was an undergraduate in Bauchi, I knew Abdulkadir Maijamaa, who was my mother's customer. Abdulkadir owned a shop at Central Market in Bauchi metropolis, where he sold shoes. He was always a smiling and friendly youngman, and obviously religious and upright.

4 years ago, it cost N300,000 to take a 40FT container from Lagos to Kano. Last week, someone paid N900,000 to take a container from Tin Can Island port to Alaba International, a market in Lagos. Taking it to Kano will cost not less than N1.5 today. The government has been talking about ease of doing business, but couldn't fix a road of less than 10km for over 3 years. It now takes a truck more than 2 weeks to and from Apapa to load a container through a queue that is almost stretching the length of the city.
