Nigerian Politics Cannot Be Learnt In School

In a functioning democracy, political ideology serves as a compass—guiding parties, candidates, and policies toward a defined direction rooted in values, philosophy, and national vision. But in Nigeria, this compass is broken, if it ever existed at all. Nigerian politics has no clear ideology; instead, it is controlled by interests—personal, ethnic, religious, and economic.

Political science students in universities study ideologies like conservatism, liberalism, socialism, and progressivism. They learn how parties in developed democracies align their policies with these philosophies. But in Nigeria, what happens on the field has little or nothing to do with classroom theories. Political loyalty shifts with the wind. Yesterday’s opposition becomes today’s ruling party. Defections happen overnight—not based on policy disagreements, but often as a means of survival or a shortcut to power.

This kind of politics cannot be learnt in school—it is mastered on the streets, in the corridors of power, in “consultations” with godfathers, and at the negotiation tables of vested interests.

There was a time in Nigeria when one could at least point to two broad camps: the so-called "progressives" and the "conservatives." Parties like the Action Group (AG), the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), and later the Alliance for Democracy (AD) projected a people-centered, welfare-based ideology. They talked about free education, healthcare, and infrastructure development. On the other side were the parties that aligned more with the status quo, preferring centralization and elite control.

But even those lines have been blurred, if not completely erased. Today, politicians move from one party to another with no shame or ideological justification. A candidate who lost a primary in Party A will cross over to Party B the next day, and campaign using the same manifesto they once criticized. That is not ideology—it is interest.

In today’s Nigeria, political parties are mere platforms—vehicles to capture power. They do not differ in economic strategy, foreign policy, education reform, or even anti-corruption posture. Manifestoes are copied, recycled, or ignored. What exists now is politics without colour, without moral distinction, and without philosophical clarity.

Political appointments, endorsements, and alliances are determined not by competence or ideology, but by who holds the leverage—tribal leaders, moneybags, religious blocs, or regional influencers. The youth are not groomed to become ideological torchbearers, but foot soldiers for hire during elections.

The implication of this ideology-free politics is dangerous: voters have no real choice. Elections become contests between personalities, not policies. Debates are about age, ethnicity, and religion—not about ideas or reform. This breeds disillusionment, voter apathy, and the normalization of mediocrity.

Unless there is a deliberate push toward value-driven leadership and ideological clarity, Nigeria will continue to recycle leaders with different names but the same interests.

In Nigeria, politics is no longer about what you stand for, but about what you stand to gain. It is interest-driven, not ideology-led. And until we return to politics of principles, policy, and purpose, the nation will keep dancing in circles—colourless, clueless, and compromised.

"When politics loses its ideology, the people lose their voice."

"It Seems the World Is Crazy: Gaza, Starvation, and the Silence of Humanity"

In a world that claims to have evolved—technologically, diplomatically, and morally—it is both shocking and heartbreaking to witness the deliberate starvation of an entire city, and even more appalling to watch the global community remain largely silent. Gaza, home to millions of people—children, women, the elderly, and ordinary civilians—is being strangled by an inhumane siege. Food, water, medicine, and fuel have been cut off. This is not just a humanitarian crisis. It is a crime against humanity.

How can a whole people be reduced to living in hunger, thirst, and fear while the so-called civilized world watches from a distance—tweeting, debating, and issuing empty statements? Where is the action? Where are the sanctions? Where is the outrage that should greet such cruelty?

The silence is not neutrality. It is complicity. When the world chooses silence in the face of oppression, it has taken the side of the oppressor.

The state of Israel, with full military and diplomatic backing, continues a brutal blockade on Gaza under the pretext of defense. But what kind of defense involves cutting off food and water to civilians? What kind of self-defense targets hospitals, aid workers, and refugee camps?

When Russia invaded Ukraine, the world united—sanctions were imposed, aid flowed in, and Western media cried foul every hour. But when Palestinians suffer, the world shrugs. Why the double standard? Is Palestinian blood cheaper?

The silence of the Arab and Muslim world is even more painful. Where are the voices that should rise in unison for their brothers and sisters? Where is the united front? Where are the leaders of wealth and power who pledge solidarity but offer no concrete help?

The unity of the Muslim Ummah seems like a myth. It is as if national interests and political calculations have drowned out every sense of Islamic brotherhood and human compassion. Allah warns us against being passive in the face of injustice. The Qur’an says: “And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and for the oppressed among men, women, and children...” (Qur’an 4:75)

What is the role of the United Nations and its numerous agencies if they cannot even stop genocide in real time? If they cannot provide humanitarian corridors? If they cannot pressure an aggressor to stop the siege? The United Nations is fast becoming a club of big powers where the strong dictate and the weak are ignored. Perhaps it is time to ask hard questions about its purpose, effectiveness, and who it really serves.

What has become of our world? Has empathy died? Has justice become optional? Are international laws only valid for the powerful? The people of Gaza are not asking for much—they just want to live, to eat, to drink, to sleep without fear of bombs. But their cries go unheard.

Because when starvation becomes a weapon and the world looks away—what else can we call it but madness?

When institutions built to protect fail in their duty and those with power remain silent—what else can we call it but cruelty?

When human beings turn their backs on other humans in pain—what else can we call it but the death of humanity?

Taawun Political Forum Celebrates 5th Anniversary, Appreciates Allah for Established Political Structure

The Taawun Political Forum (TPF) marked its 5th anniversary in grand style at the Taawun Group of Schools Hall, Iwo, Osun State today, 29th June, 2025. The event was a moment of reflection, gratitude, and renewed commitment as the forum appreciated Allah for helping it build a formidable and widespread political structure.

In his address, the Media and Publicity Secretary, Lukman Solahudeen Ayyubi, recounted the political journey of TPF, especially its early involvement with the Action Democratic Party (ADP). He noted that the forum played a key role in forming a strong political base for ADP at the time, enabling it to challenge dominant political forces in the region.

Chairman of TPF, Alhaji Abiden Muslim, expressed his appreciation to all ward chairmen, women leaders and members who have remained dedicated to the group’s mission. He urged them not to relent in their efforts, assuring that the foundation laid will continue to yield positive results.

The spiritual leader and founder of TPF, Ameer Jamaat Taawunil Muslimeen, and Grand M***i of Yorubaland, Sheikh Daood Imran Molaasan, emphasized in his remarks that TPF was not established to serve the interest of any particular political party. According to him, the forum exists to support good individuals across all political platforms.

"In Nigeria today, no party is entirely good, but there are good people in every party," Grand M***i stated, highlighting the forum's focus on promoting competent and trustworthy leaders regardless of party affiliation.

The event also had in attendance representatives from TPF Lagos State branch, signifying the group’s expanding influence beyond Osun State. Notable among the dignitaries present was Alhaji (Hon.) Nurudeen Emiloju, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Community and Social Development Projects, who commended the forum for its grassroots engagement and positive impact on community development.

The celebration ended on a note of unity and optimism, with leaders and members reaffirming their dedication to nation-building and value-based political participation.

To Correct Abnormalities Within and Outside Islam, Muslims Must Embrace Politics

In recent times, there has been growing concern over the alarming moral decay among Muslims, especially the disturbing trend of Muslim women in purdah appearing on platforms like TikTok, dancing to Fuji music and participating in un-Islamic activities. These are not isolated cases, but symptoms of a larger societal problem. The question we must ask ourselves is: how did we get here? And more importantly, how do we fix it?

The reality is that no matter how much we preach from the pulpit or quote the Qur’an and Hadith, our words often fall on deaf ears. Why? Because the society we live in does not recognize Islamic moral codes. What Islam sees as haram (forbidden), the society sees as freedom of expression. What we consider shameful, the environment around us celebrates. This is the contradiction we live in—and without political power, we are unable to correct it.

Islam is not just about praying five times a day, paying zakat, fasting in Ramadan, or going for Hajj. While these are essential pillars of our faith, Islam is a complete way of life that includes leadership, governance, economy, justice, and yes—politics. Islam speaks about power because with power, we can implement the values and justice that the religion stands for. With authority, even what seems like a long-term problem can be solved within a day.

Our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not stop at preaching in Makkah. He migrated to Madinah and established a state—a government that applied Islam as law, order, and justice. He had political authority, and with it, he changed the society from darkness into light.

Sadly today, many Muslims have abandoned the political space. We have left governance in the hands of those who neither fear Allah nor respect Islamic values, and yet we cry over the growing immorality among our own children. We express shock when hijab-wearing girls join trends that mock their identity, or when Muslim youths prioritize pop culture over the Qur’an. But these are only the fruits of a society not ruled by Islamic values.

Until we become ready for political change and actively engage in politics—unit by unit, ward by ward—we will continue to suffer from these abnormalities. It’s not enough to complain. We must organize, strategize, and participate in political processes. We must raise leaders with Islamic consciousness, support righteous candidates, and build systems that reflect our values.

The battle for moral sanity is not just on the prayer mat; it is in the council chambers, the ballot boxes, and policy tables. If we want a society where Islamic morality is respected, then we must take charge of the society through political involvement.

Only then can we correct the ills within and outside Islam.
Only then can we stop crying and start changing.
Only then will Islam regain its rightful place—not just as a religion of worship, but as a complete system for life and leadership.

Written in the spirit of Islamic awakening and societal reform.

Hijrah: Beyond a Mere Celebration

Hijrah is not just a date on the Islamic calendar or an occasion to be marked with festivities. It represents a profound turning point in the history of Islam—one that reshaped not only the lives of the early Muslims but the trajectory of the entire Ummah.

Often in life, defining moments emerge from crises. For Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions, it was the severe persecution in Mecca that necessitated their emigration. This journey—known as the Hijrah—was not simply a relocation; it was a revolutionary movement that transformed Islam from a persecuted belief system into a powerful, thriving civilization.

The term Hijrah, derived from the Arabic root h-j-r, implies movement and transition. Historically, it refers to the migration of Muslims either to Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia) or more significantly, to Medina in 622 CE. While many today emphasize its personal or spiritual dimensions, Hijrah carries broader implications: political restructuring, economic reorganization, and the social unification of the Muslim community.

It was through Hijrah that Islam found the space to grow—from isolated belief to an organized society guided by divine law. In Medina, the foundations of an Islamic state were laid, and from there, Islamic civilization rose to prominence and flourished for centuries. This migration proved that Islam is not just a set of rituals, but a comprehensive system of life.

If Hijrah remains only as words on a page or a topic for annual sermons, it loses its essence. What matters most is not the celebration itself, but the conscious reflection and application of its lessons. The Hijrah marks the beginning of religious freedom, the quest for justice, and the establishment of a society rooted in Islamic values.

It is crucial to understand: Hijrah was not an escape, but a strategic move to ensure the survival, growth, and resilience of the Ummah. It is not about marking a date, but reviving a purpose.

Today, as we live in times overshadowed by ignorance, oppression, and alien ideologies, the legacy of Hijrah calls on us to rise. It urges us to move—not necessarily from one land to another, but from negligence to awareness, from weakness to strength, and from isolation to unity.

If the true meaning of Hijrah is forgotten or ignored, the future of millions of Muslims remains at risk. But if understood and practiced, it becomes the foundation for our revival.

Only a Movemental Nation Can Safeguard Muslim Ummah — Abu Mazeedatilkhayr Bn Sa'eed

Renowned international Islamic scholar and authority on Islamic harakah (movemental work), Abu Mazeedat has emphasized the importance of movement-based structures in ensuring the survival and security of the global Muslim Ummah.

Speaking during his courtesy visit to the Grand M***i of Yorubaland, Sheikh Daood Imran Molaasan, and members of his movement, Abu Mazeedat declared that only a nation built upon dynamic Islamic activism and collective vision can truly safeguard the interests and future of Muslims.

“History has shown that stagnant nations, no matter how wealthy or populated, cannot protect Islam or Muslims. It is only a movemental nation — one grounded in purpose, spirituality, strategy, and unity — that can defend the Ummah against internal decay and external aggression,” he stated.

He lauded the efforts of the Grand M***i and his followers for sustaining a movement rooted in Islamic values and community development, calling it a model worthy of emulation across the Muslim world.

The visit also featured reaffirmation of unity among Islamic reformers and scholars dedicated to reviving the ideals of Islamic leadership and societal transformation.

Abu Mazeedat concluded his remarks by urging Muslim communities to prioritize knowledge, strategic organization, and selfless leadership as the pillars of any successful Islamic movement in the 21st century.
