Eid-el-Fitr: Ahmed Urges Muslims To Pray For Nigeria’s Restoration

Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has urged Muslims to ensure that the lessons of kindness, fear of God, spirit of helping the needy imbibed during Ramadan last beyond the holy month.


The governor gave the advice in his Eid-el-Fitri message, signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba.


Ahmed counseled that beyond festivity, Nigerians should also pray for the restoration of peace in the country.


He noted that if Muslims do not make the lessons imbibed throughout the month of Ramadan a life long experience, the exercise would be one in futility.


“We must as Muslims sustain our devotion to Allah, uphold the teachings of the Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammed beyond the month of Ramadan.


“It is also important that those fortunate enough to be in positions of authority, translate the culture of piety, devotion and total submission to the will of Allah into ensuring a society free of want, poverty and hunger,” he said.


Ahmed also advised Muslims to shun all forms of vices, especially violence, that could hinder harmonious existence with people of other faiths.


“It is not a mistake that God made people of diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds to co-exist in the country; it is for a purpose. The purpose, I believe, is that it should be a source of our national strength for development. We must, therefore, galvanise our national development from our ethno-religious and cultural differences,” he noted.

Adobe on Tuesday announced its decision to pull the plug on its much maligned Flash format, citing the growing use of HTML5, WebGL and Web Assembly open standards. Helper apps have evolved over time to become plugins, which then further evolved to become open Web standards, Adobe noted. However, because gaming, education and video have come to depend heavily on Flash over the years, its phaseout will be gradual. The company will continue to update it with any necessary patches, maintain browser and operating system compatibility, and add features as necessary until 2020. Adobe is working with partners Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Mozilla and Apple to smooth the transition. Each of those companies posted an update on how the shift will impact its browsers or interfaces. Partner Plans Eighty percent of desktop Chrome users accessed a page running Flash just three years ago, but that figure has declined to 17 percent currently, according to Google.

Designer Donna Karan says she didn’t know the extent of the accusations against Harvey Weinstein before she spoke out to defend the disgraced movie mogul. “I heard a whisper, but there were whispers all over,” Karan, 69, said of the sexual misconduct allegations during an interview with ABC News which aired Monday on Good Morning America . “It wasn’t until a day and a half after the I truly heard about it.” She added: “That’s my honest truth. I didn’t know.” The fashion industry vet sparked outrage earlier this month after calling Weinstein a “wonderful” person in a  Daily Mail  interview and suggesting women may be “asking for it” by dressing provocatively. She backtracked days later, issuing an apology and declaring that her statements did “not represent my actual views.” She apologized again in the recent interview, declaring, “I made a huge, huge mistake.” She admitted, “what I said is so wrong and not who I am.” “I was exhausted. I had just come from a 14-hour plane trip,”
