Ramadan: Acts To Abstain From During This Period

Published

Ramadan

For some, the appearance of the new crescent moon is yet one of those beautiful things about nature, but for Muslims everywhere it signifies the beginning of what is known as the holiest month in Islam, Ramadan. It is believed to be the period during which the Holy Quran was given to the prophet Muhammad and so for Muslims, the world over, the sighting of the mood heralds a period of utmost consecration not just where food is concerned but for their thoughts and actions as well. To commiserate with our Muslim brothers and sisters and make sure that ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ is more than a saying, we made a list of acts to avoid and abstain from as they are in relation to Nigerian songs:

1. No More Soapy

Soapy, as popularised by street-hop singer and rapper, Naira Marley simply means masturbation. This is a sin in Islam and during the Holy Month should be avoided as abstinence from sexual activity that isn’t between married couples is a no-no during the Holy Month.


2. No more watching booties bounce this Ramadan

With the period of Ramadan comes the cautionary saying to ‘lower your gaze’ and also to ‘purify your intentions.’ These phrases are important where and when booties you have no business watching are concerned. So unlike Rema who was on a rampage for bouncing booties on his hit song Bounce, this Ramadan is a time to embark on a journey of holiness instead.

 


3. No more ‘Henessy in the body’

Well all know that liquor is haram in Islam, well during the Holy Month of Ramadan, it’s even doubly so. So ensure that this Ramadan, you ensure that liquor is included in the list of things you avoid and you do not go the way of Davido where he sang on Like Dat saying ‘Hennessy ti wo body’ as the only acceptable thing to be consumed in such a period are meals for when the fast is being broken as well as words of upliftment.

Her statements, however, caused quite a stir online as several people felt them to be highly provocative.

Kemi Olunloyo bashed her, pointing out that her mother dated pastors and governors when she was growing up, so it’s not all her fault but rather the result of her upbringing.

“No woman is above anyone because of money. You grew up around a mother who dated Lagos governors and pastors, so that’s all you know. Priscilla think outside the box.

Go fix your dru.g problems. A video of you blowing nitrous oxide balloons with the Marlians is about to come out.

Young lady you can’t spike food or drinks with that. Go file charges against Naira Marley. You’re an adult. That’s not your mom’s job. Nothing lasts forever”

Certain masquerades have a well-deserved reputation for whipping bystanders with their whips.

Nevertheless, given its persistent refusal to come into contact with the soldier, this masquerade gives the impression that it respects established authority.

The masquerade continues by saying that he was part of the group that performed a dance for him the day before.

The soldier laughed at this, telling the masquerade that he would have received a proper lesson if he had whipped him.
