IN LOVE WITH APATHY

-


Saeed kamalu Bako


My home is in between dead and life
In that thing they called franchise lies inhumanity
Should I go there or stay alive
When stainless threaten the gullible
When sky becomes dark and darker
When gunshots become normal
Was that where they called polling unit?
It seems like a battle ground
Full of uproar and inhumanity

When I stay away the called it apathy
But still they forget I chose to play it safe
Isn't it the franchise we sold for some few pennies
And let our families and nation burned to ashes
While godfatherism guided those people astry
We are then allowed to pay for what we deed
Can we call the outcome authoritarianism?
Because all we see is inequality
Instability in the penumbra of what we call polity

Those called leaders of tomorrow masterminds the violence
That violence which killed my brother
your brother and your brother
It seems to be selfishness in the part of we and them
Theirs is party interest or perhaps personal one
Ours is money politics which we will never get

Unless it become for us and us alone
Unless honesty on their part prevails
Unless they become dedicated to our service
Unless they have our interest at heart
Unless our tears become theirs
I will forever remain with the apathy than to loose balance.

  Faizu Idris Ibrahim Ramadan being the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar, Allah commanded Muslim world over to fast from its commencement to an end. This annual rite is regarded as one of the pillars of Islam.  Allah says in the Qur’an: “O you who believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous."  The prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) said:  “Islam has been built on five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, performing the prayers, paying the Zakat, making pilgrimage to the House, and fasting in Ramadan.”  Thus, fasting in the month of Ramadan is an obligatory act of worship upon all Muslims men and women as required by the above Qur'anic verse and Hadith.

Why we need better husbands in our societies.

Saeed kamalu Bako Family as an agent of socialization has helped a lot in nurturing better wives for there Husbands but has also failed mostly in creating better husbands in our society. Family attached too much importance in bringing up better wife than a Husband. You will here things like " gwara ki koya girki Dan gidan wani zaki" , " haka zakiyi in kinje gidan mutane ko" , " kefa uwar wasu ce nan bada dadewa ba" the parents must especially mother try by all means to teach her on how to be good , forgetting that she has a boy that will one day equally turn to be a husband. Why won't she then taught him how he can handle someone's daughter?  Culture make it to be the responsibility of the father, what then do you expect from someone who was not taught on how to do it to teach someone how to do it?  Why should I talk on this ? Through out the week i heard cases that has to do with domestic violence but most of them were the fault of the Husbands .
