I realized that a lot of people don& #39;t understand what arranged marriage is; they mistaken it for forced marriage (which is actually forbidden in Islam). So I interviewed some people and wrote this article to explain what it is and should be. https://newswirengr.com/2020/06/28/arranged-marriage-is-often-misunderstood-and-so-often-we-reject-it-without-really-understanding/">https://newswirengr.com/2020/06/2...
This was actually inspired by a conversation I had with my friend about called Aboki and the abuse that comes with being thought of as one. Here, I wrote about the creation of an “us versus them” dichotomy and tribalism in Nigeria. https://newswirengr.com/2020/06/01/they-do-the-same-thing-to-non-northerners-aboki-and-the-dangers-of-othering/">https://newswirengr.com/2020/06/0...
Bollywood is inarguably more popular in Northern Nigeria than Hollywood. In this piece, I speak about its influence and how the Indian movie industry is a tool through which India has soft power in the region. https://newswirengr.com/2020/05/07/indias-magical-weapon-of-power-in-northern-nigeria/">https://newswirengr.com/2020/05/0...
People find love in random places; sometimes, it& #39;s through arranged marriage and othertimes, they both reach out for the same cereal while grocery shopping. For this article, I spoke to Northern Nigerians about finding Halal love through mobile apps. https://newswirengr.com/2020/04/13/swiping-for-love-the-halal-way-of-seeking-intimacy-online/">https://newswirengr.com/2020/04/1...
I wrote this when I - like many people - was paranoid about COVID19. People in my life had gotten it (and had survived) but it only made me more scared. So I wrote this article to give people hope during the global pandemic. https://newswirengr.com/2020/04/26/surviving-coronavirus-disease-in-nigeria/">https://newswirengr.com/2020/04/2...
