THE STRONG RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JUSTICE AND PEACE By Imam Murtadha Muhammad Gusau

Emporium Reporters

In The Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful All thanks and praises are due to Allah, we seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and the consequences of our evil deeds. Whoever Allah guides will never be led astray, and whoever Allah leads astray will never find guidance. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is alone without any partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and His Messenger. “O you who…

Tithe Debate: Theology Versus Evidence By Ifedayo Babalola Profiling the Nigerian anti-tithe coalition

Emporium Reporters

Profiling the Nigerian anti-tithe coalition is no mean task. For, it is a potpourri assembly comprising many non-Pentecostal Christians, old church reverends, adherents of such other faiths which consider Christianity a heresy against God, 24-carat atheists and people, who, frankly speaking, never cared about any public issue debate other than which of the P-Square brothers married the more beautiful wife. Some say a number of Pentecostal church members as well are closet anti-tithers and were happy to assist outsiders who attempted to upset the ecclesiastical status quo. And so important…

Emporium Reporters

One of the challenges Muslim females are facing is the wearing of hijab. Hijab is a veil they use in covering their body. These challenges are found even in public institutions.

STUBBORN FOR NOTHING By Abdulfattah Adeyemi

Emporium Reporters

Why are some people stubborn? Some are stubborn possibly because of fear: they could be afraid of a supposed humiliation, or an emotional pain of having their ego bruised. They could be afraid of being taken for granted, being perceived as weak-willed, or being oppressed if seen to be submissive. However, it is important to note that stubbornness is often confused with self-confidence, perseverance, decisiveness, and holding on to one’s convictions. These positive traits can lead to triumphant accomplishments, whereas, stubbornness is akin to arrogance, intolerance and ignorance; it is…

THE MEAN ONES By Abdulfattah Adeyemi

Emporium Reporters

We meet people who are mean every day! They seem to be everywhere: at work, as neighbours, in the streets, at the airports, even in places of worship.

How do we explain a butterfly living under the same roof with a cockroach? How did we…

I know that the content of this piece may steer…
