RAMADAN: REP. BABAJIMI BENSON REINFORCES UNITY, HOSTS ANWAR-ISLAM SOCIETY. ...As Sheikh Luqman AbdulRasak addresses Islamic perspective on economic hardship in Nigeria.

The Chairman House Committee on Defence, representing Ikorodu federal Constituency, Rep. Babajimi Adegoke Benson MHR, has reiterated his commitment to fostering unity and putting smiles on the faces of his constituents. 

Benson, stated this on Sunday, March 16, 2025, while hosted this year's annual Ramadan lecture of Anwar-Islam Society of Nigeria, Ikorodu chapter at Ikorodu Town Hall.

Speaking with MegaXpression correspondence, Benson expressed gratitude for the successful beginning and prayed for the successful completion of the 2025 Ramadan fasting.

“This gathering is a testament to our shared values of love, peace, and unity. Ramadan is a time of reflection and giving, and I am honoured to contribute in my little way,” he stated, acknowledging the divine grace that allowed the Muslim faithful to witness the holy month.

Sheikh Imam AbdulRasak Luqman Andu, Chief Missioner of Ansar-ul-Deen Society of Nigeria, Igbogbo Chapter, delivered a touching lecture on The Impact of economic hardship on the average Nigerian: An Islamic Perspective.

He referred to an unfavorable situation in which a nation’s economic instability trickles down to affect the livelihood of its citizens. It manifests as inflation, unemployment, poverty, and a general decline in living standards.

Despite Nigeria being rich in resources, with high economic potential, the country continues to suffer from economic downturns. This paradox raises an important question: why does a nation blessed with wealth still struggle to provide for its people? 

The lecturer noted that this hardship is not only financial but also affects the medical and spiritual well-being of individuals, leaving many Nigerians in a state where, as he put it, there is nothing to write home about.”

The Sheikh drew a parallel between this Quranic insight and the Nigerian reality, where corruption, mismanagement, and poor Governance have led to persistent hardship, despite the country’s abundant natural and human resources

Interestingly, the lecturer pointed out a historical contradiction regarding regional economic management in Nigeria. He highlighted that, contrary to popular belief, the Northern region, often perceived as underdeveloped, has demonstrated resilience, unity, and strategic resource management. 

Furthermore, he linked Nigeria’s economic hardship to the remnants of colonial influence, explaining that the country’s economic structures were originally designed to serve foreign interests rather than national prosperity. He argued that colonial masters prioritized extraction over development, leaving behind a system where Nigeria remains dependent rather than self-sustaining. 

The lecturer urged Nigerians to break free from this historical pattern by embracing self-reliance, justice, and ethical Governance as prescribed in Islam. Through unity, fairness, and faith, he emphasized that economic revival is possible, but it requires collective effort and divine consciousness.
