Firstly, I think you need to educate yourself about Islam and the history of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) before making such comments, especially when you are discussing a subject you clearly have little knowledge about. The issue of Aisha's age is not as straightforward as you are trying to present it. Yes, there are narrations in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim that put her age at six at the time of the marriage contract and nine at consummation. However, there are also historical arguments by some researchers who, using the chronology of events in early Islamic history, argue that she was considerably older, possibly in her late teens. These arguments are debated, and you should at least be familiar with them before presenting one position as the entire historical account. More importantly, you cannot reasonably examine seventh-century Arabia using only the social standards of the 21st century without understanding the historical context. Early marriages were not peculiar to Arabia or Islam. They existed in several ancient civilisations, including Jewish, Roman and Greek societies. For instance, the early Christian text known as the Protoevangelium of James describes Mary, the mother of Jesus, as being twelve when she was placed in the care of Joseph. Historical research by M.K. Hopkins, published in Population Studies in 1965, also documents the early ages at which girls married in ancient Rome. These are historical realities, not Islamic inventions. I am not saying that every historical practice must automatically be adopted today. I am saying that intellectual honesty requires you to understand the period, its traditions and its social realities before passing judgment. You are free to disagree with Islamic teachings, but deliberately insulting a religion because you have not taken the time to understand its history does not make you knowledgeable. And since you have access to social media, I would expect you to appreciate the importance of research, evidence and context before arriving at a conclusion. Please, learn about Islam before proudly presenting yourself as someone who wants to criticise it.

HOW LECTURERS' NEGLIGENCE CONTRIBUTES TO STUDENTS' FAILURE IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES One of the issues we need to have an honest conversation about in our higher institutions is how lecturers' negligence contributes to students' poor academic performance. We have lecturers who hardly attend classes, those who teach outdated courses and materials, and those who barely prepare for lectures. Yet, students are expected to perform excellently in examinations. Then comes the issue of marking. Some lecturers mark scripts anyhow, while others seem to have predetermined the grades they intend to award. We even hear the popular saying that A belongs to God, B belongs to the lecturer and C belongs to the student. What a mentality! More concerning is how some lecturers treat students who approach them with genuine academic concerns. They shout, dismiss complaints, intimidate students and make their offices almost inaccessible. Students have been conditioned to see lecturers as gods who cannot be questioned. Consequently, when mistakes occur in examination scores, missing results or grading, many students are too afraid to seek clarification or request corrections. Some simply accept grades they may not deserve. The implication goes beyond CGPA. When lecturers fail to teach properly, assess fairly and update their knowledge, we end up producing graduates who may have certificates without the competence those certificates should represent. Of course, we have dedicated and hardworking lecturers, but the negligence of some must not be excused. Academic excellence cannot be demanded from students while those responsible for teaching, assessing and mentoring them neglect their own responsibilities.
