I guess I can now be referred to as “Mrs. Yoruba man from Kwara”.
Daughter of former Kano emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, Khadija Yusrah Sanusi married a Yoruba man from Kwara!. May Allah bless the union. 🙏🏻

- Forced marriages;.- Marriage on false pretenses;.- Incompatible arranged marriages;.- "We want to wear aso-ebi" marriages;.- "What will people say?" marriages;.-"Biological clock" marriages;.- "The neighbors are asking questions" marriages;.- "How about your cousin?" Marriages.
4000 divorce applications in Abuja already and the year just started. Some of these marriages are less than a year old. What's really happening?.

Today, Uncle @elrufai told me how he and my dad have been friends since they were teenagers. This is a friendship that has lasted through thick, thin, and accidental public service. I can only wish, hope and pray that Allah blesses me with friendships as pure as this.

Hundreds of Northerners angry at this and you'll still find people insulting all of us because of one unfortunate organization I for one never even knew existed. They don't speak for me; neither do they represent the Northerners who've been on the streets, shouting #EndSARS.
Your Excellency sir, President @MBuhari, on behalf of more than 150 Million people in our states, we want to loudly say that our 19 NORTHERN STATES ARE AGAINST THE ENDSARS CAMPAIGN. Dear IG of @PoliceNG, WE ONLY CALL FOR THE REFORM AND REORGANIZATION OF SARS, kindly take notes.

I think “May Allah make it easy” is one of the most important prayers. Because this life is really, really not for the faint-hearted.

It’s so weird going from seeing people everyday to not seeing them at all. They were not just friends; they are family. We all flew on the same flight to Kaduna for Sallah yesterday. We were going to spend Eid together as a family but Allah is the best of planners. RIJF ❤️

With time, the plan was for the books to be inherited by B.U.K. My father wanted university students to have access to his library so that the palace can play an active role in education. Books are a key to knowledge and having access to a wide range of subjects is a privilege.

Today's Khutba was about calamity- how every unfortunate event should bring us closer to Allah; It's an opportunity to get closer to Him, to lean on Him, to have faith. Allah is with the people who call out to Him, who believe in Him. May we be such people here & in the hearafter.

I randomly have Qur’an verses stuck in my head for a long time. Then i check the meaning and it either is the answer to a problem I’m facing, assurance or confirmation of the mercies of Allah or reminder of the Allah’s promises. Whatever it is, it is comforting.

Otosirieze's statement on leaving Brittle Paper reminds me of the reason I chose journalism: to have a voice. It allows one to have opinions and perspectives - no matter how wild and unpopular. Once we start silencing that voice (to please), it's no longer journalism; it's PR.

I don’t think this should be the ultimate goal. I think your friends owe you interventions, lectures even. I think your friends need to be able to sit you down and say “nah, this ain’t it”.

Abba Kyari's death has really reminded me that this life is just a transit. The best thing we can do for ourselves is to use the time well: be more religious; be good to our kith and kin; remember that every soul shall indeed taste death. Death truly makes us fear God more.

Northern Nigerians are hypocrites when it comes to religion. They hide behind "It's Sharia law" only when it benefits them; in other conversations - polygamy, women rights, forced marriages, domestic and sexual abuse, etc - they turn a blind eye and remain mute.

People need to learn how to behave at gidan gaisuwa. You can't be coming to a mourners' place and be telling them the drink they gave you isn't cold enough; or that they should have served you a different meal. This is improper and just outright disrespectful. We must do better.

Deciding against the Hijab is one thing; claiming "Islam doesn't say I have to wear the Hijab" is another. I have absolutely no problem with the former (we have different graves, lol), but for the latter, feminists are choosing to be wilfully ignorant and are misleading others.

I've always been told that asking for clarification or acknowledging your ignorance does not make one a lesser person; it is indeed a sign of leadership. I feel pity for the people who would rather pretend to know something than ask for clarification; it is a sign of arrogance.

A broken clock is right twice a day, but no one even bothers to look at it. One thing Twitter has taught me is that once people have their minds set on the kind of person you are, they stick to it. If they dislike you, they will dismiss your opinions - however valid and true.
