QUOTES OF APJ ABDULKALAM

We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not gapped their land, their culture, their history and to try to enforce our own way of life on them. But yet...

[3/06/2016 5:53 AM]: *It is said that when the angel of death is taking the rooh (soul) out of the body of whom passes away.... it is a painful experience. They say that when the dead awake on Qiyaamat, the effect of the rooh being taken out will still be there. Therefore, ALLAH has told us to recite the Ayatul-Kursi after every Fardh salaat and it is stated that whoever recites this, their rooh will be taken out as you would take out a strand of hair from a pile of flour. How light would that feel, Masha Allah! May Allah save us from any sort of pain and may He let us die with Imaan in our hearts and save us from the adhaab. Aameen.There is no word as beautiful as Allah.No example as beautiful as RasulaLLah (SAW). No lesson as beautiful as Islam. No song as melodious as Adhaan.No charity as meaningful as Zakat.

Professor Joshua Alabi - Food for thought

Professor Joshua Alabi writes.    I do not pretend to be older than my grandpa, but the truth is despite my age, I'm old enough to confess that life is indeed a mystery.

I've seen a Landlord becoming a tenant before his death.

I've seen owner of a ' benz' pedalling a bicycle not for sports but for transportation. 

I know a student who became the Vice Chancellor in his former University with most of his lecturers  still teaching under him.

I have seen once rejected boy becoming the bread winner for a whole community.

A once sought-after lady begging a young guy half her age to date her.

A victor becoming a victim.

A driver's conductor buying the bus of his master.

A borrower recruiting the credit manager.

In life, no one knows tomorrow & you can never trust life, because its mysterious.

Never ever forget, U may not know the full story, don't be quick to judge, every coin has two sides.

Treat everyone in your life fairly like your own & love as much as you live.

So let us be humble, kind, love more & do not try to be smart in anything; for we do not know what tomorrow holds for us. Have a wonderful day!!.

Prof. Wole Soyinka Food for thought

Prof. Wole Soyinka says :

'WHERE DID WE GO
WRONG?

WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS!'~~~

"Awolowo was 37 years,
Akintola 36,
Ahmadu Bello 36,
Balewa 34,
Okotie-Eboh 27
and Enahoro 27

And they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after
the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time!

In 1966, the first military coup was led by K
Nzeogwu who was 29 years

and countered by

M.Mohammed 28,
T. Danjuma 28,
I. Babangida 25,
J. Garba 23,
Sani Abacha 23,
and M. Yar'adua 23,

And brought into power

Y. Gowon 32,
Ojukwu 33,
Obasanjo 29,
And Buhari 24!

Most of the military governors who governed the
states under the successive military regimes were
under 30 years.

Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some
Senators and members of the House of
Representatives, in particular, populated by persons
under 30!

Under 30's were also not in short supply with
appointments - we have examples of

MT Mbu who
became Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister at 23

and Pat Utomi who became a Federal Adviser at 27

And so on and so forth!

NOW: Why is it that almost all this age bracket is today still sleeping in 3-seater chairs in their
parents’ homes?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still
collecting pocket money from their parents?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing JAMB?

Why is it that this age bracket today still 'sagg' their trousers?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still
searching for jobs and not yet married?

Why is it that this age bracket is today no longer qualified to even be leaders of youth wings of political parties?

Why is it that this age bracket is today so docile?

Why is this age bracket today incapable of feeding itself?

Why is it that this age bracket is today barred from even aspiring to certain political offices?

Why is it that this age bracket is today incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable of
asking questions?

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!"
