Reject Public Money Stolen by Your Husbands, Sultan to Women

By

Sultan of Sokoto and President Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammad Saad Abubakar, has advised Muslim women to key into the fight against corruption by rejecting stolen public money from their husbands who are public office holders.

He also challenged wives of state governors and emirs to lead the campaign for girl-child education.
Abubakar disclosed this in Ilorin, Kwara state capital yesterday during the formal opening of the 30th annual national conference of Federation of Muslim Women’s Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN).
The Sultan who spoke on ‘Motherhood and Leadership’ at the event explained that, “the myriad of problems confronting the country starts from our homes.”
He said, “If Nigeria is to see the change its citizens have been yearning for, women must start the crusade against corruption right from home. Nigerians must be ready to be the change they voted for during the last presidential election. Women must discuss corruption and ask questions from their husbands about their ill-gotten wealth especially from those who are public office holders.
“If you notice that your husbands, few months after becoming public officers, started buying exotic cars, building houses all over the place, ask questions on the source of that sudden wealth.
As women, you must add your voice to issues affecting our country, formulate policies where anyone seeking public office must listen to you even if they don’t like it”, the monarch added.
Abubakar stressed the need for women to ensure that they breed responsible children for the overall wellbeing of the society.
The Kwara state governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed while declaring the conference open, lamented that Nigeria has not taken advantage of her diversity in attaining nationhood. He said the religious and ethnic diversity which Allah had endowed the country with should be leveraged upon to move her forward.
In his key note address, Dr. AbdulRauf Wale Babalakin acknowledged the positive role mothers could play in moulding their children.
In his welcome address, chairman of the occasion, Justice Mustapha Akanbi called on all Muslims to be united in condemning terrorism by those hiding under the guise of Islam to perpetrate evil.
Quoting some portions of the Holy Quran to drive home his point, Akanbi said inviting people to Islam must not be done by threats or violence but by showing the beauty of Islam to non-adherents.

Emma Nyra, Ubi Frankling open up on their rift

By
It is no longer news that Triple MG boss, Ubi Franklin and his record label first lady, Emma Nyra have called it quits. Yes, and it was not a matter they resolved at a roundtable, the once chummy-chummy duo took each other to the cleaners and put up a bit of a show on social media to fill their fans in on all the shindig that went down. At a point in their creamier than cream relationship, the duo were virtually inseparable, which set tongues wagging that they must have been more than mere friends. While the hint of a relationship was being dropped around, neither Ubi nor Emma saw anything wrong with it. Until the song changed! According to reports, the song changed for them when Ubi Frankin proposed to Nollywood actress, Lilian Esoro, presumably, shunning his ward who has been waiting in the wings for years. The song went from sorry to sad when Emma Nyra reportedly blurted out in an interview that she was never romantically involved with Ubi. Now, the sad song went very bad wh...
