Road-side foods and Faulty Cars
On the top of my list of the thrills that goes with road trips in Nigeria is the road-side foods. There’s akara and bread, wara (local cheese), snail kebabs, fried yam, you name it. I live for them! I think the fact I only get to savour these exotic cuisines seasonally on family vacations adds to the thrill. They’re not cuisines you get from you neighbourhood canteen. On my recent trip with my…

The heart of man is desperately wicked...
The heart of man is desperately wicked…
“The heart of man is desperately wicked”, it’s a saying I hear from my Christian peers often. I never seem to grasp it though. Why and how does anyone become truly wicked? Grow without a conscience? I don’t believe myself to know the world vastly as I am still contained in my little part of it which I’m still not so familiar with either, but wickedness is certainly an emotion that’s completely…

I'm not particularly feeling spiritual.
I’m not particularly feeling spiritual.
‘Heaven and hell were made for sinners’ -unknown. To me religious people unconsciously put them self on a pedestal higher than the rest of the sinners. If as a human with the many temptations flying around , you’ve been able to resist and heed the words of a supreme being, that’s real strength. I think righteousness allows one to see how wrong every act of a sinner is and how easy it is for them…

Despite, or perhaps because of, these challenges to their Muslimhood, Zayn and Khaled both seem content to claim their Muslim status without shouting it. And unlike our country’s GOP leaders, their embrace by young fans reflects a growing audience that is more accepting and less concerned with faith-based issues—at least in what or who they consume culturally. The Zayn and Khaled generation are, after all, less religious, though not necessarily any less spiritual, according to a 2010 Pew Study. We’re also more ethnically and racially diverse than the generations before us. This evolution could explain, in part, the paradox of these Muslim men prevailing in a world where Muslim identity is tethered to hate.

The only problem with being my mothers daughter is that I'm also my fathers daughter
To me religious people unconsciously put them self on a peddle-stone higher than the rest of the sinners. If as a human with the many temptations flying about, you've been able to resist and heed the words of a supreme being, that's real strength. It also allows you to see how wrong every act of a sinner is and how easy it is for them to fall into it. I mean compared to them. It becomes difficult for them to understand how not so easy it is for a sinner not to fall into temptation. This leads to judge mental remarks which doesn't come off that way to them but it totally is. One of the most commonly used lines ' I'm not claiming to be perfect either, we are all just sinners striving to please our lord.. Please my dear sister endeavor to do better". I can't begin to explain the infuriation I get from this. You rebuke everything I do while pretending not to be better than me but we all know you do feel better than me. I can't over emphasize what kind of imperfect Muslim I am but I know my heart is in the right place. I love Allah with all my heart and I still run to him when I'm in trouble and when things are good. My way might not be yours but it's a way so let God do the judging and y'all can rest your bosoms on ice. Take a chill pill.
thanks mama
I have so much inbuilt prejudice in me that I know I have to work off. Years have thought me otherwise but they are built in so thick they take over my senses/ actions befor my brain works.
When you don't air your feelings out you might just think you are alone in the world. I've felt that way all my teenage years.. Too scared to speak, thinking no one was like me. I must have been completely wrong since everyone around me seem to follow a path that I desist from and then I got to uni. I became less scared, I started speaking my mind. Saying how I feel and it's such a relief to see there are so many women like me. It's given me strength to deal.

I’m tired of people policing my islam. I’m tired of people telling me what does or doesn’t make me Muslim. I’m tired of people using their “concern for the religion” to veil their misogyny, homophobia, and anti-blackness. Allah literally tells you to mind ya business in the Quran so let people experience spirituality how they are willing and able to!!!

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
For those who are not aware, Female Genital Mutilation comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons (WHO). It is also sometimes referred to as female genital cutting or female circumcision. My third year in the university opened me to the subject of abuse more specifically…
