Polygamy is here to stay whether we like it or not May 11th 2021 at 19:00:00 GMT +0300
Africans. Scratch that, Kenyans - the earlier we accept that polygamy is here with us, to stay ‘til Kingdom come, the better for us and our entire generation. It’s everywhere and whether one has officially legally married three wives, or has one legal wife - the GOAT - but keeps five concubines on the sides, that’s still polygamy, no?
This tired line of ‘young lady, leave my husband alone and look for your own man’ shot, wrapped up by 726 missed calls, a Facebook friend request and nine text messages, won’t change anything especially if the said husband doesn’t want to be left alone. Actually, they don’t want to be left alone, these people! They don’t! Si we have all heard about “hii Nairobi hakuna bwana ya mtu”?
Tales The Country Told Me By Reuben Abati
“You think Nigeria is at peace? If you call this peace time, then what exactly does war look like? For me, the country is at war already. Nigeria is at a tipping point. I visited my Aunty the other day and I was telling her how politicians are already preparing for 2023, her response shocked me, because she is ordinarily an optimist.”

“Bros, how country?”
“I agree with you absolutely. It has never been this bad in peace times”

CAIRO: Believers distribute the recitation of the verses of the thirty chapters of the Holy Qur’an over the days of the holy month of Ramadan. It is a reading of contemplation, inspiration for revelation, seclusion of meanings and closeness to the Creator God.
It also follows the example of the Sunnah of the Prophet Mohammed, may the best prayers and peace be upon him. So what does the Egyptian academic artist Reham Mohsen present in her (artistic) reading of the verses of the Holy Quran?
She continues her journey that began last year when she chose to draw verses from the Holy Book, and wrote that Ramadan is the Qur’an. “The holy month of Ramadan in which the first revelation of the Quran took place.”

Holy Ramadan, the ninth month of Hijri calendar, is an occasion of fasting and self introspection. The significance of this month is multiplied by revelation of the Holy Qur’an in the night of Qadr, one of the odd number of 10 nights of the month.
For Muslims this month is an occasion of self-introspection, (
ehtisaab) through seclusion, self assessment and introspection and repentance (
tauba).
Humans have a physical and spiritual component. The
nafs in Arabic is the “ego” or “soul” of a person. There may be multiple wishes and desires in a human being of lust, greed, envy etc. Introspection and purification of soul is the aim of fasting.
