“I’M CLERIC ABDURAHMAN”🥹
There are pressing issues that need to be addressed, and it's time we speak openly about them. Too often, we shy away from uncomfortable truths, but silence only allows misconceptions to grow. Here are some key points that need serious reflection:
1. This is not the time to deny or disown a criminal simply because he belongs to your fold. He’s a cleric, we all should swallow the bitter pills like that. Had he succeeded in his ritual, he would have been celebrated as a "successful cleric."
2. In the past, knowledge was valued above wealth. Sadly, today, riches define success in religious circles, while true knowledge is cast aside. I won’t go into details—deep down, you already know. If he were wealthy (without considering the source), he might have even been honored with a prestigious title.
3. I really don’t want to be apologetic about this, offline I’ve said this but for the first time I’m bringing it online. Over the time there’s a jingle (on radio) where Ilorin would accuse non indigene of some of these atrocities, claiming it’s handy work of “atohun rinwa”, I’ve never seen a jingle as biased as that in my life. However, I hope this situation shed light to the allegation, evil perpetrators can be from anywhere.
4. Islamic preachers, both young and old, need to focus on preaching piety. Enough of the obsession with worldly gains and the promotion of so-called spiritual soaps.
5. Everyone needs to find meaningful work. While I would not argue against “ise Alfa”, I would always argue about its sustainability. Notably, its unsustainable nature led to idleness and an idle hand, as they say, is the devil’s workshop.
6. This might sound funny, but it's serious. We need to abandon the myth that if a father suffers, his children must automatically enjoy wealth. God does not owe any family generational riches. Too often, preachers make it seem like it's a guaranteed shift in fate—it’s not. So many youth just want to change the story at all cost because of this revelations in most lectures, “ere ifaragbole Awon Tana bla bal…..”
7. Finally, let’s be clear: attending a madrasa does not automatically make one a cleric. Islamic education is meant to guide people in living righteous lives, not necessarily to prepare them for clerical duties. The sooner we accept this, the better.
TRIPLE H.
