..................................Our world, computers and the internet............................?

Forget to add this: it takes too much of my Precious time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What am I going to do about this am becoming a freak.

Our world, computers and the internet............................?

Sometimes I ask myself "What will the world have looked like without computers and the internet?" Boring, dull,uninteresting huh? (name it all). 

But to me the world may have been a better place and at the same time a boring station for us all. Just think of it no Google to search those sites, no Facebook, Twitter or any other social network to meet, socialize and pretend you love your enemy.

I as a muslim, I learn something new about Islam every time I log onto the internet. You have tafseers posted, hijab fashions just to mention a few. 

Oops! You don't even need to be in Paris before you snag a Paris Original, all thanks to the internet, you can shop IT right in your room.

I can go on and on stating the advantages of the computer and the internet till thy Kingdom come.

However, I don't think the inventors foresee the problem of the internet enslaving the human race.

You hear and read stories of internet hacking, school age children committing suicide because friends in school posted something horrible in their email boxes. Girls running away from home to meet a man they met on the internet who promised to love them more than their parents. If there is something which takes away children from their Parents apart from School, it is the INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The Yahoo Boys are not left out in these game.

Not to talk of some people turning the internet into a war zone attacking other peoples' religion and view. 

FOR HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW OUR LIVES TO BE RUN BY A DEVICE CALLED THE COMPUTER AND THE INTERNET.

But in all I think if a group of positive minded people can come up with Yahoo, Google, FaceBook and the likes, we can turn the internet into a safer, interesting and POSITIVE PLACE.

A New Lesson

One great lesson I learnt today is that there is a big difference between building a House and managing it. It is easier to build but it takes so much energy, time and intelligence to manage it.

The thin line between life and death.

I finished my Bar finals on the 13th day of August, 2010( bar final is the final examination law Students at the Nig Law School writes). Immediately I left the exam hall, lots of pple were congratulating me on my successful exit. I kept asking myself a single question "Why me Allah?" 

I got to my 'hostel' and sat down to reflect on my life. I was supposed to come to Law School in 2008 but I missed the admission, I was terribly heartbroken, it was as if the end of the world has come, then I laid my hand in this book THE HAPPIEST WOMAN, it was there I learn that depression is another instrument use by shytan to kill our faith. A muslim in whatever situation we meet ourselves we must not despair neither should we regret because Allah who made this has something better in store for us.

Bam!!!!! Like a dream, 2009 arrived and I was admitted to Kano Campus, Bagauda. To those who are familiar with this place, you will know what I am talking about if I say I cried myself to sleep the first night I got to School.

Bagauda was an experience on its own and I thank Allah for giving me the opportunity to go there. I fell but Allah lifted me up and made me a better muslim. I met a wonderful sister in person of Sideeqah Lawal (LASU).

To cut the long story short, I cried my eyes out the day I finished my exams when I remember those we resumed with whose life was cut short by death. I thank Allah and beg Him to make my sojourn a fruitful one.

14th August, 2010.

If I kol this a red letter day, it won't be a mistake. I woke up for my tajjud,ate my sahur and observe my subhi prayer then went back to sleep. I received a kol from my Daddy who was very happy and he called me his Dear Barrister 

I left school in company of my school mother and roommate, Victory Ede. We boarded a cab going to Kano town as she was supposed to catch a night bus around 5.00pm going to Onitsha. We were in a happy mood and telling each other how much we will miss ourselves, barely 30minutes drive away from the school, the front Tyre of  the cab busted and within  a twinkle the car swerved and somersaulted several times before it hit a road divider. I was the only one left in the wrecked car unhurt. All my colleagues had one injury or the other. My school mother who was sitting beside me had multiple fractures and injuries all over her body. 

Within a second our lives has change.

We are alive but we are new.

We are alive but we are different.

Victory is still in the hospital after undergoing two different surgeries. I am still going about with a cervical collar. But in spite of all these we still have a chance to give glory to God.

I cant help but give glory to Allah especially when I think of those who did not go through that much before they gave up the ghost.

                                                    My life to me is a testimony
