BY LEO EZEKIEL
The Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya Nigeria (MKAN) (Ahmadi Muslim Youth Organization) has pleasantly flagged off tree planting exercise at
her headquarter, Ahmadiyya bus stop, Ifako-Ijaiye Local Council Development
Area of Lagos State on a Sunday, June 20th, 2021.
Speaking to the audience with
a welcome address the National Youth President of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya Nigeria (MKAN) (Ahmadi Muslim Youth Organization) Dr. Taofic Sanni stated that they commemorated 100
years of Ahmadiyya that their aims at that particular event were to plant two thousand
trees for that year, but, when it got to the time of professor Fashola who
graced the ceremony did disclose to them that they should be able to plant one
hundred thousand trees and Dr. Sanni noted that since that very mandate was
handed over to them, that they have not rested in their oars adding that
between the time professor Fashola gave them the injunction to plant up to four
hundred thousand trees and as at today, Sunday, June 20th, 2021 that
they have planted ten thousand trees throughout the country, for all states,
regions and their districts nationwide.
Speaking further to the
audience Dr. Sanni said that for today’s ceremony, that it is their target to
plant up to hundred thousand trees in due time adding that if they continue in
this manner that they would reach the target of planting the said trees which
would largely contribute to the ecosystem of the nation and the entire globe.
Speaking again to the audience Dr. Sanni noted that Islam is a region of peace and she preaches peace and that they are now in climate of global warming all over the world because of the activities in tempering the natural creations of God and as he said that they contribute in the forestation of planting trees and that would reduce the effect of climate changes, effect of global warmings in Nigeria and the entire citizenry of the nation.
Speaking further to the audience, he stated that the tree planting exercise is an effort to liberate humanity from global warmings and climate changes adding that they saw it as making the world to be at peace so as to advert new harmful diseases that would come up as a result of global warmings or climate changes as he also argued that nobody knows why covid-19 corona virus pandemic came and that the ecosystem brought the survival of covid-19 before now as that has been the believe of those in environmental sciences, and if they continue to temper with nature, if they continue to temper with environment it will increase the effects of global warmings and climate changes adding that new diseases will come in and put the economy and the health care system in a very bad shape in the entire country and the world in general.He noted that the tree
planting is one of their contributions to make the world to be at peace as well
as it is in line with the doctrine of the holy prophet Mohammed which he the
prophet Mohammed advocated that things like this should be done by them as a
way of contributing to the growth of the country in their little way.
Speaking further to the
audience, Dr. Sanni stated that they are youths and they do not have much
monies to execute programs as he concurs that the tree planting exercise is
also their contribution to the public good of all and sundry adding that God
will bless them for this lofty efforts they are contributing to body polity of
the nation.
He informed the audience that they will be proceeding from the ten thousand trees that have planted in the past in all their centers all over Nigeria and that they have 345 centers nationwide, they have started planting trees. He says that today is to mark the national efforts in that direction and that the media is heavily appreciated by them for covering the tree planting exercise on behalf of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya Nigeria (MKAN) (Ahmadi Muslim Youth Organization) adding that apart from tree planting campaign, that Ahmadiyya Youth have also been contributing into Blood donating exercise of Lagos State Blood Transfusion Centre, Gbagada, Lagos and as he also added again that for this year alone they have donated more than 200 pants of blood despite covid-19 corona virus pandemic and they are still ready to donate more as it is one of the programs they do every year.
Dr. Sanni told the audience
that just two months ago they had stop-the-crime-campaign in Nigeria and that
they went to many schools in Nigeria and they were able to reach four thousand
persons talking to them why they should not go into crime in the hands of
politicians or in the hands of those wicked people who wants to destroy the
people, he said these efforts are contributions from Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama as a
token contribution to Nigeria and once again he welcomed all and sundry as they
flagged off their National Tree Planting Campaign.
Speaking to the audience,
Barr. Olatoye Azeez, (Amir National Head) Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama Nigeria stated
that God has created the world into two parts, the part to peace and the part
to trials adding that the part to trials are those evil ways which one has to
avoid so anyone who refuse to be godly will take the part to peace as he added that
what they are here for today is the part for global peace and that they are
very grateful to almighty Allah for giving them the opportunity to be part of
this tree planting exercise.
Speaking again to the
audience he said that they are very grateful to holy prophet Mohammed who laid
down his life for them to be able to live a stable and peaceful life because
almighty Allah has mercy unto mankind.
Speaking again he says that
nobody should be violent to anyone whatsoever adding that holy prophet Muhammed
was persecuted for thirteen years in mecca when he was trying to preach peace
to the people, that people should not maltreat women as well as children.
He says that people do not
like peace because they are authoritarians and they do whatever they want to do
and he says that holy prophet Mohammed worship almighty Allah in unimaginable
manner.
He noted that all and sundry
should lay foundation for peace and that holy prophet Mohammed later migrated
to Medina when they persecuted him in mecca and in medina he successfully
preached Islam and he prayed to almighty Allah to grant the citizens of this
nation huge successes.
He says that they are very
grateful to the founder of Ahmadiyya Jama whose praise of holy prophet Mohammed
was read to the audience a short while ago he also concurs that holy prophet
Mohammed was a man of absolute peace and he has called on all Muslims and the
world to be at peace and to live a peaceful life.
He also agrees that all
leaders are suppose to be peaceful at all times as the fifth Calpher of
Ahmadiyya Jama Moshood Mahat and may Allah continue to strengthen him and he
also said that he has written many books which some of them focus materially on
peace and some of them on world crises and part way to peace and Ahmadiyya
Nigeria led by Samadat and he says that he commended them not because they
belong to Ahmadiyya group but because they are a group of people within the
country who are preaching peace always.
He says that one of the work
that is been done is tree planting and the world wide head of Ahmadiyya group
has actually laid the foundation globally adding that all and sundry must
contribute to anything that is meaningful and peaceful so that the world would
be a better place for all creatures.
He says again that global
warming is not what he would be telling the media now adding that they are town
violence, domestic violence, city violence has nothing to do with Islam and he
has gone to various elements of the world and by the compilation of his works
and it is in world crisis and he has made this compilation of works available
to royal highnesses, eminent people, people in the National Assemblies, people
in the House of Assemblies et’al to
preach peace to them and if there is peace in the land then every other thing
will follow naturally.
He noted that there cannot be
peace without justice and to the foundation of peace is justice to which all
persons are invited as Uzurick has been to UK Parliament, US Parliament, Canada
and all over the globe and he has written to all Presidents most presidents of
the world including the Federal Republic of Nigeria President of how Nigeria
can be in peace as they pray Allah would grant them sense of understanding to
be able to listen to Kahlipher and be able to enjoy peaceful life.
Speaking again to the
audience he said that their program of today is clearly all about the efforts
of the Islamic groups of Ahmadiyya Nigeria led by respected Sadat Ahmadiyya of
Nigeria and he queried why does he have to commend them as he’s not they are
members of Ahmadiyya but because they are a group of persons who are preaching
peace and one of the works that is been done is the tree planting as their worldwide
head has actually laid the foundation all over the world and they must
contribute to anything that is peaceful and it would make the world a better
place for all and sundry.
Speaking again to the
audience he said that the global warming is not something that he will be
telling the press now, to some people they know and it is a reality and he
asked what are people doing to make sure they change the hand of the clock of
negative impacts of the effects of the
global warming and that is the idea behind the tree planting exercise, so he
says that one claims to be a Muslim youth and they group themselves and address
the world crises because global warming is one of the global crises and what
the Ahmadiyya Muslim world wide is to address it and the foundation has been
laid as making sure they contribute to peace and that is the rational they came
out today including all other auxiliary of Jama Organizations and they are
elders of forty years and above and they all buy the idea of tree planting is
also the same thing with the women’s wing called Ulanga Nigeria as all their
focus is peace.
Speaking again to the
audience Barr. Olatoye stated that the National President Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya Nigeria (MKAN) (Ahmadi Muslim Youth Organization) earlier stated about their programs and one of
them is against crises, against stop the crime and he says there are two phases
to it, the first things is that anyone who engages in crime does not
understanding Islam, even though yes, he is in Islam he will say he is a Muslim
where they do not have the right to say that he is not a Muslim but he does not
understand Islam because what Islam means is Peace, so such a person needs to
be heavily thought about what Islam is actually standing for, adding that one
can claim to be a peaceful fellow yet he is conducting domestic violence, open
violence and when such a person is asked the meaning of Islam he will say that
Islam is peace.
But, sadly his actions are
not peaceful then there must be something wrong with such a fellow and the
second aspect of it is that he has the honest belief although he says he may
not be correct until medical doctor tells them that anybody who is in certain domestic
violence or even national violence, therefore such a person has some medical
issues adding that they have some mental health problems because not only
malaria fever is a sickness as people’s brains need to be checked by medical personnel
and see whether they are normal.
When someone behaves
abnormally and he claims to be peaceful such a fellow is been violent.Barr. Alatoye
asked is that personal alright as he says that they should ask themselves
questions now. And again Barr. Alatoye stated that they need to go back to basics
and when someone says he believes in almighty Allah and yet he maltreats
another human being, he goes to perform abolition and goes on to pray as he
also asked how does that work together as he added that one cannot claim to
love Allah, yet the fellow hates the subject of Allah to the extent of killing
people and one goes off to kill some rams in one Alahaji’s compound and goes of
to tell the Alahaji that he the (killer of rams) love Alahaji, the fellow does
not truthfully love Alahaji but, sadly the fellow claims to be worshipping
almighty Allah and again the fellow is killing the object of almighty Allah
wickedly.
Barr. Alatoye asked if such a
fellow is okay, of a truth he says that such Muslims are not okay adding that
anybody who commits domestic violence whether to wife or children or people of
the area or the chap goes into the bus and calls himself a bandit, psychologically
these are mental health issues that the medical personnel need to look into
because another act of violence is excessive stealing and this excessive
stealing he says that he looks at it differently and this is an area the media
need to let the leadership know that those who are stealing they have mental health
problems as he added that EFCC is not the solution to solving the corruption
problems in the body polity.
Because if a person with a
mental case is arrested he will continue to think that, that which he did is
right and the person is not thinking in the right direction and how can someone
who carried millions of dollars be viewed and such person will not lodge the
monies in the bank rather he will dig a septic tank and he would put the monies
there and cover up with slabs, is the person okay?
No! somebody carries monies
that he can never finish in his entire life and he took the monies to bank in abroad
and he died off, so what is the benefit of the monies he has carried out? And he
knew that people are suffering yet the monies meant for road network development,
electricity, health care facilities, communications, transport et’al now are
all of these issues an EFCC matter? Honestly it is not an EFCC matter but that
the peoples should be the ones to stand up positively and foster uncommon
changes within the body polity of the nation so that maximum dividend of
democracy will be enjoyed by the down trodden masses.
The ground breaking ceremony
of event is when the tree planting exercise did take place and the first person
to plant a tree is Barr. Alatoye followed by Dr. Sanni and finally Alahaji
Adeoye Abdulwaheed.
