Her other siblings, Safiyya Dan’azumi clinched 8th position

He said the young girl’s achievement would serve as an
inspiration to countless others in Gombe and beyond.
He further stressed the importance of nurturing and
supporting the educational pursuits of young people,
particularly in the realm of religious studies, which he said,
“play a vital role in shaping their character and contributing
to the development of the society.”
“I am deeply proud of our Hajara’s exceptional
achievement on the global stage. Her triumph exemplifies
the vibrant academic heritage of Gombe State. Her victory

whole.

Mashaa Allah

I know somebody will still use this to justify Islam as the best for humanity ..


All d Quran we don read for naija and all d Bible we have read too yet we never better pass china Japan Russia etc ....

Religion na scam

And how does help the nation

Always carrying religion for head, nonsense

Naijanascam:
As the second most prayerful nation on earth after Afghanistan🇦🇫

Say that to your thousands of churches and vigils.

I know you can't understand when your pastors are the epitome of corruption and the church is funded by looted funds.

Religion na scam

Religion is not a scam. Nigerians are the scam. We only take the part of religion that fits our desires and downplay the importance of other parts.

Else, why will a market woman who is a religious leader be using fake kongo. Why will a so-called religious leader be accepting donations from.people.of questionable character and source of income?

We're the ones scamming religion in Nigeria.

baconline:
That's about the only thing we are good at

Well, that's a big lie. Didn't you win the Grammy's? Didn't you win silver at the afcon? And many more.

But your hypocrisy made you forget.

Why is it so difficult for you to live and let live.

Consume your music and let people who appreciate the Qur'an enjoy their Qur'an. But, no, letting others live is something that will rather happen over your dead body.

I’m sure you’re heavy bearded all over your face looking for infidels to compensate allah

Religion should be dropped in the wasteland

E Dey pain everyone in Nigeria

You that's not heavy bearded aren't you here constituting nuisance and looking for anti-church infidels to compensate your god who feasted on his son's blood?

The church enterprise must be dropped if Nigeria will ever make progress.

Church, mosque and other worship house enterprises, that’s one thing we can agree on, no more recitation of stupid religious books

May Allah bless the young woman with more knowledge and the fear of Allah. Barakallahu fihi

Something good for the first time coming from Islam and not bombing of innocent people while shouting allahuu abkar or whatever
