Oju de gba mi ti! And I don’t even believe in second hand embarrassment
Summary of how Saleem Goje’s second wife, Hasfat, called him out online over cheâting accusations and accused the first wife of witchcrâft 💔 - Hasfat (frame 2) decided to call out her husband yesterday and exposed the women he had allegedly been talking to. - She posted a chat involving Hadiza Aliyu Gabon, claiming that she and her husband had been flirting and linking up - This act did not sit well with the first wife, Shafa (frame 1), who publicly condemned the decision to expose their husband’s alleged wrongdoing on the internet. - Shafa revealed that she was surprised Hasfat was calling out other women for being involved with her husband when she also followed him to Saudi Arabia during Ramadan, knowing he already had a wife and was not married to him at the time. - Hasfat accused Shafa of using witchcraft to prevent their husband from marrying her and swore that she would never have his children. - Shafa defended herself, saying the reason Hasfat was yet to have children was because she was battling PCOS and that she would like to be left out of the online drama. - Hasfat revealed that she paused her life just to be married to Saleem. She said she sacrificed her weight, education, and many other things to keep the marriage, but she was betrayed. - Hasfat then called out Shafa’s mother, accusing her of taking her belongings and moving into her matrimonial home with the intention of taking over the home and using witchcraft against her. - This made the first wife furious, as she shared pictures of Hasfat’s mother covered in bl00ð and alleged that it was Hasfat’s father who bëǎt her after she and her daughter set his house on f!rê because of issues involving her co-wife. - Shafa shared messages Hasfat sent to her father and questioned how someone who could speak to her father in that manner could judge others. - Shafa also explained that she was eight months pregnant when Hasfat followed her husband to Saudi Arabia, but she cried and asked Allah to ease her pain. - The first wife explained that she accepted Hasfat and wondered why Hasfat was not willing to accept another woman and instead chose to expose their husband online. - Hasfat then went live on Instagram and revealed that Saleem had broken her window and was currently in her house. - They both created a scene as Hasfat cried for help online before the police arrived. - Hasfat also stated that Saleem was not the one sponsoring her lifestyle and travels, as she was still under her parents’ care at the time and they were responsible for her expenses. - Shafa stood her ground, supporting her husband and blaming her second wife for bringing their family issues online. - Hasfat has now deleted all her posts as instructed by her father, but some members of the Arewa community have criticised her for not being submissive to her husband. What are your thoughts?

I wanted to quote that cute convert video about what you didn't know as new Muslims but my coming to Deen story could not be farther from cute, or especially enjoyable sef It involved surviving 2 of the worst traumas I've experienced till date, and hitting rock bottom with a thud

I remember once telling a MM that unless he was fine with that level of coverage (with a headscarf of course) as hijab for his womenfolk, it didn’t pass muster for him as well You should have seen his face! Me:☺️🤭 I don’t know who lied to y’all but if we can see you shape…
Dressing modestly for prayer isn’t just for Muslim women! I don’t understand why some Muslim men wear singlets, shorts, jerseys, or skinny jeans that expose their backsides when they sujood. This is rubbish & scholars should address it instead of constantly criticizing MW.

Exploitative rates aside, I am all for these versions of robots o Let the machines run the daily chores and leave thinking and art to humans
A 25-year-old housewife in Chennai earns ₹250/hour ($3) just by doing her normal housework. She wears a phone on her head and records herself making coffee, cutting fruit, folding laundry. These first-person videos get sent to AI companies training humanoid robots to handle real-world tasks. She shoots 90 clips a day. Her quote: "Who else will pay you ₹250/hour ($3) an hour just for doing housework?" She's part of a growing gig economy in India where thousands are doing the same thing, filming everyday life to train the robots of tomorrow.

18. You Got Anything Stronger - Gabrielle Union A sequel to her original memoir, it’s more a series of short essays with a lot more pontificating than real life stories from her life But as a middle aged woman whose life is immersed in sexual and reproductive health, it’s a gem!

19. Martyr - Kaveh Akbar I have no idea but this read like I imagine it’s like to take psychedelic drugs as a person with an unholy fascination with death Don’t ask me what that means. That is exactly the point

Na so this random woman decide to give birth in my dream. The moment I stepped forward to assist the delivery, I was violently ejected into wakefulness I think my family’s assumption that I’ll eventually wander back into obstetrics and gynecology is on very shaky grounds o

Calling a reaction to paedophilia & potential statutory rape of à 10 year old child “drama” and “unnecessary” is akin to a confession No, children should NOT be subjected to “sexual interest” from grown men, and preparing your kids for healthy sexuality is not substitute for-

- every and any measure taken to punish paedophiles, including public naming and shaming Thatcher said, if this is the video I saw, having the 10y/o in said video is probably not the best way to safeguard her from disgusting paedophiles either
