EID-EL-KABIR: TEN FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Though the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir has not started in full measure, it is not too early to say, Happy Eid-el-Kabir to every Muslim faithful. And also to Nigeria in its entirety. Despite the several economic and security factors attempting to deplete this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration, all hands are on deck to make sure the celebration embodies, in all respect, the solemnity of the feast. Here are ten facts you need to take note of as we plunge into this festive period which is to begin on Friday, the 1st of September, all through to Monday, the 4th of September.

  1. THE  MEANING OF EID-EL-KABIR

The name, Eid-el-Kabir, is an Arabic phrase for “Feast of the Sacrifice”. Another way of calling it is Bakr-Eid (Sacrifice Feast). Eid-el-Kabir can also be called Eid-al-Adha.THE ORIGIN

2. THE ORIGIN

According to Islamic sources, Eid-el-Kabir epitomises the willingness and sacrifice exhibited by Ibrahim. Ibrahim who was asked by Allah to sacrifice Ishmael, the promised son, was very complaint even to the point of almost giving up his son. It was the angel Jibril that stopped him in his tracks and told him that due to his submissiveness, his sacrifice had been accepted already. Woven into this was Ibrahim’s journey from Canaan to the rocky plains of Mecca, Saudi Arabia with his Hagar, Adnan, and Ishmael.

On his return to Canaan, he left behind Hagar and Ishmael who ran out of food and water. Due to Allah’ provision, Hagar and her son were able to drink from a spring of water and even got food by selling from the water.

Ishmael became a prophet delivering the message of submission from God to nomads in the desert. This served as a precedent to the present Hajj.

3. SOLEMN PRAYER

To commence the Eid-El-Kabir, prayers are offered at all the mosques all over the world. This is to seal the solemnity of the feast, as Eid-el-Kabir is considered the holiest of the two Muslim celebrations we have.

4. THE SACRIFICE

EID EL KABIRThis is the highpoint of the Eid-El-Kabir celebration. Even before the appointed time for Eid-El-Kabir, several lorries are seen towing the roads in Nigeria supplying rams and cows to the many markets from where they will be sold out to Muslims. After the prayers at the mosques, these animals are slaughtered in the head to represent Ibrahim’s own willingness to sacrifice his own son.

The representative sacrifice might not necessarily be a cow or ram, it can be a camel or goat, depending on the prevalent culture in a given place. However, the domestic animal used must meet certain requirements to be accepted.

5. COSTUME

eid el kabirFor the slaughtering of the animal, a blue coat clothing must be worn. Also, very festive clothes are worn on the other days. This is the time when the Muslims wear their very best. The women wear new, stylish lace, Ankara and colourful hijabs. Most times, the men are seen putting on guinea or damask clothing, with fanciful caps.

6. SHARING

During the Eid-El-Kabir, a lot of love is spread in style. The animals sacrificed are meant to be divided into three part. One part is for the family who slaughtered it. While the other two are for relatives and friends and the indigent ones respectively. Also, families visit one another and share meals together even after the celebration. Even these meats are taken across borders to be shared with truly indigent people.

7. SECURITY

According to security forces, 33,000 security personnel have been deployed nationwide to ensure peace and security. Also, due to the relative peace that has pervaded the North East in recent times, the former fear that accompanied the region in the past, preventing them from celebrating the Eid-El-Kabir has been somewhat dissipated. Expectedly, those in the North-East anticipate highly this year’s celebration.

8. EID MUBARAK

EID EL KABIRFor the Eid-El-Kabir, Muslims all the world greet themselves in just one way- by saying, Eid Mubarak. This form of greeting is one regulated way of showing the success of the Eid-El-Kabir celebration and shows the happiness of the Muslims in encountering yet another celebration.

9. THE ISLAMIC CALENDAR

It should be noted that the date assigned for the observance of the Eid-El-Kabir differ due to the several calendar dates we have. In the Gregorian Calendar, the celebration starts on the 1st of September which is tomorrow. But for the Islamic Calendar, it happens on the 10th day of the month Dhu al-Hijjah. This is usually eleven days later than the date assigned by the Gregorian calendar.

And yes, why not let’s take a peep into the life of a successful business mogul. Doing this will definitely prop you to start clicking away at success. We will be taking a look at our very own Folorunsho Alakija.

alakijaShe has been named one of the most successful black woman in the world! According to Forbes, she is the richest woman in Nigeria with a net worth $2.1 billion. And other than Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, she is one most powerful woman in Nigeria. Not just that, she is the second richest woman in Africa. As well as the third richest woman of African descent. She is also the 87th most powerful woman in the world. You must admit that she is quite something. Here are five major things you probably did not know about this talented and successful woman.

alakijaHERE ARE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FOLORUNSO ALAKIJA

  1. She is a great philanthropist

More than you know, Folorunsho Alakija gives back to the society in more ways than one. One of such philanthropic acts is the Rose of Sharon Foundation. An initiative that helps widows and orphans pursue their ambitions and intents with scholarships and grants, interest-free loans, accommodation solutions and other programs. Through the Rose of Sharon Foundation, over a thousand widows and their children have had their lives take a positive turn. The Rose of Sharon foundation is also affiliated with the Rose of Sharon Glorious Ministry International. And this partnership has provided the spiritual backbone these widows need.alakija

Also, her company Famfa Oil is a major contributor to the Agbami medical and engineering scholarship scheme which has helped sponsor the education of many medically and technologically oriented students. There is also the Folorunsho Alakija Scholarship Scheme, designed to help very poor Nigerians get an education.alakija

2. She never went to a University

It almost has become an imperative for any successful person to be an alumnus of a well-known university. Well, this is not the case with Folorunsho Alakija. Despite accumulating certificates in other respects, a university degree was never part of the stock.

alakijaWhen Folorunsho Alakija was seven years, she was sent to the United Kingdom to begin a primary education in Wales. On her return to Nigeria, she went to Muslim High School, Sagamu, Ogun State. After this, she went over the shores again for secretarial studies at Pitman’s Central College. She went from secretarial school to several fashion schools to study fashion design. Yes, she has been in several institutions but none of them has ever been a university.

On the reason for not attending a university, Alakija says that “If I had the opportunity of going to the university, maybe I would have come out with a second class upper or lower but that didn’t happen; that wasn’t to be my destiny. I would have loved to go to the university as we all know that university education is good but some of us who have not gone, it is not the end of the world.”alakija

Well university or no university, she has risen to an enviable peak. Not only that, not having a university degree did not stop her from being the chancellor of Osun State University. This has made her the first female chancellor in Nigeria.

3. Her parents saw first

alakijaIt won’t be wrong to say that Folorunsho Alakija’s success was set right on track with the help of her parents. They saw the potential she embodied. For one thing, being born to Chief L.A Ogbara, a husband to eight wives in Ikorodu, Lagos, meant that she was one of many more children. 52 children, in the case of Chief Ogbara. The largeness of Chief Ogbara’s household did not stop him from sending his children to good schools home and abroad. As it appears, Folorunsho and her sister, Doyin were part of the very few ones that Chief Ogbara gave qualitative education. And as far as can be seen, this has paid off.

Again Folorunsho started off as an executive secretary of Sijuade Enterprise. But she left the corporate circle to follow her fashion designing passion. She took up several studies in the UK. On coming back, she established her own fashion house Supreme Stitches which rose to a very prominent height. What is not known though is that her mother, a prolific fashion expert helped out a lot. Inevitably, this helped in taking Folorunsho’s fashion business to great heights. Evidently, not only did her parents believed in her, they also helped make her dream come true.alakija

4. Folorunsho Alakija is a Jack of all trades and master of all.

As highlighted above, Folorunsho Alakija started out as a secretary. Also, she worked at First National Bank of Chicago (FinBank), now owned by FCMB, before moving on to the fashion world. She was awarded the best fashion house in 1986. Due to her impact in Nigerian fashion, she is the National President and trustee of the Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria (FADAN).

alakijaFolorunsho, however, got her big break when she, alongside her friend, bought an undesired oil bloc. Texaco, seeing the potential in the oil bloc, partnered with her company giving her the success story she had been waiting for. Now, she is also involved in real estate and property development.

The business tycoon’s high point is in being able to multitask successfully. Despite having several wings of business, she is able to appropriately manage every one of them. Only through efficient delegation can this be possible.alakija

5. Her love life is at an ace level

alakijaRecently, Folorunsho Alakija posted pictures showing that even at sixty-five, her love life is still flourishing. In 1976, she got married to Modupe Alakija and the marriage has produced four sons, all of whom are very successful. She is evidently still happily married and basking in the happiness of her own children. In her own words, she says “Only God could have given me a husband for almost forty years in the marriage that is still growing strong. His name forever be praised.”

Just this year, Folorunsho’s youngest son Folarin got married for a second time, after he lost his first wife to cancer.His Iranian wife, whom he married in an overwhelmingly grand style, is a model and marketing consultant. Folarin himself is an entrepreneur, an investor and a cinematographer.alakija

 

 

The success that runs in the Alakija’s family line also extends to several branches of the family tree. Folorunsho Alakija’s nephew is the popular Dj Xclusive who has made a name for himself both home and abroad.

In light of this, there are certain work smart tips you will find insightful while you get around to performing your tasks this week. We will be bringing you new insights every each Monday. Stay with us and watch your business grow.

  1. Activate your work mood on Sunday

The reason why Mondays have remained unappealing to most people is that they forget over the weekend that Monday ever exists. Hence, they walk into every Monday and into their workplaces carrying over their shoulders the slugs of tasks that they had left undone on Friday. Why not lighten your Mondays and work better by activating your work mood on Sunday?

WORK
ACTIVATE YOUR WORK MOOD ON SUNDAY

This does not mean you can’t have all the fun you want over the weekend or that you have to turn your centre table into a desk to address your slush pile of work related activities. It only means that you should get certain tasks done on Sunday so as to keep your mind actively keen on tackling greater tasks on Monday.

So while you are at the club with your peeps or at home with your family, watching TV and treating yourself to a great meal, you can as well reply those pending emails sent to you. Call the people who have been at your throat for a while. You can set up an appointment with an equally Sunday-friendly person, order for the materials you need to be delivered on Monday and so on. Not only does this make you work-enthusiastic for the next day, it also reduces the load of things you need to keep track of for the new week. And this is being work-smart.

2. Be the first to waste time

Okay. You are thinking this is a covert way to talk about punctuality, and how it is the soul of business. Or how you must get up early to be work-productive. Well, you are on the right track. Quite alright, it’s good enough to wake up early, beat the alarm clock to its game and delve right into work.

But it’s actually better to wake up early enough to waste time and do nothing! Working productively is all about having the right mindset and the best way to grow a right mindset is by cajoling the mind into believing it is not working at all.

Relaxing before going to work
Be the first to waste time

And how best to do this but by waking up at that moment when you don’t have to rush to work, settling down to a cup of tea, listening to the radio, soul music. Even watching an early morning show, lazing around deciding what to eat or wear(if you have not settled this already), and then playing around in the bathroom before going leisurely to work. What this does is to leave you relaxed. As well as set the right mood for you to face the long day ahead.

3. First thing in the morning: Be a jerk

To get work done on time, you can’t avoid being a jerk in the morning. This does not mean you can’t extend the right courtesy or get all cosy with your co-workers. It only means that you should avoid any morning chit-chats, sweet talks or lax discussions.

GET DOWN TO WORK
GET DOWN TO WORK

Instead, you should get down to those urgent, brain racking tasks that you need to do.

Those who get to work on a Monday morning or any other day for that matter only to begin filling in their friends and co-workers on the happenings of the weekend or the previous day never get anything done.

WORK AND COWORKERS
SOME WORKERS FEEL IT’S THEIR JOB TO FILL YOU IN ON LATEST EVENTS.
AVOID THEM IN THE MORNING.

And if they do get anything done, it is merely tacky and inefficient. So do not mind if your co-workers think you are a jerk for the best part of the morning because they won’t be able to resist calling you a sweetheart with the sort of bustling attention and cool gist you will shower them with after you are done with your most urgent tasks.

4. Nothing is as important as everything

A work-smart person will always see every task as more important than another, which in itself is more important. Nothing should be just too important to focus on while leaving the other duties unattended to. And nothing should be too trivial not to pay attention to. This way, everything that needs to be done, from the small task of checking the mails and messages to the big task of meeting a customer’s need, gets attention.

WORK AND PRIORITY
PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO SMALL DETAILS AS YOU DO TO BIG TASKS

But this does not exclude the need to prioritise tasks. It only means that nothing should be so small or big to leave out of your to-do-list. And you are allowed to not carry out those big routines for a while so as to attend to tiny details, just as you can skip those small issues to attend to bigger matters. It all depends on how motivated you are to perform a task.

5. Appeal to your inner muse

Talking about motivation, your body can sometimes be so hell bent on doing nothing so that no matter how you prop yourself up to work, nothing productive emerges. You are at that time as dry as a stone. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself or chastising yourself for being lazy, why don’t you appeal to your inner muse? What this simply means is doing anything that makes you tick and lightens your mood at that point.

WORK
APPEAL TO YOUR INNER MUSE

It can simply be plugging your earphones into your ears and listening to some of your favourite vibes. It can be eating your fantasy food or calling home to listen to the voice of your hobby and children. Even if you feel like dancing, you can simply nod your head at your table or take a stroll around while tapping your feet on the floor. Whatever your muse wants, just give it a go. But remember that there’s still work to be done.

Without a doubt, vtpass.com helps you work better and faster.

PREMIER LEAGUE: THE UPS AND DOWNS

Have you been skipping on the happenings of the English Premier League as it unfolds on the field? Then you are missing out on a lot of fun. Catch up on the subsequent matches by logging on to vtpass.com and renewing your cable TV subscription now. In the meanwhile, you would want to know what has been in vogue for the past weeks.

  1. Chelsea receives thrashing at home

For their very first match, Chelsea receives a brutal 3-2 defeat at the hands of Burnley FC. Sean Dyche, the manager of the winning club, proves that last year’s failure does not limit this year’s success. But more than this, many have hinged on this defeat saying it is more of a sign that Antonio Conte has lost his victory formula, and he is gone from being the fierce Teflon Don manager to being an unrecognisable complacent coach. Thibaut Courtois justifies this defeat, though, as a consequence of freak absences. By freak absences, he meant the shocking red cards flagged up for captain Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas. Diego Costa’s so-called exile can also be included as a resultant factor. This sped up the victory of Burnley,  getting Chelsea off to a humiliating start.

Marcus Alonso makes a big break this premier league
THE STAR MAN IN TOTTENHAM’S VICTORY
  1. Chelsea wins, the Spurs start low

Thibaut Courtois was proven right when he called Chelsea’s defeat to Burnley a wakeup call. Chelsea, in their consequent match with Tottenham Hotspur, showed they had come back stronger from their defeat. Not only did they beat Tottenham Hotspur in the match that ends with a 2-1. But they on a retaliatory note banked this victory at the Spur’s Wembley home.

All credit, however, goes to Marcus Alonso, the daring defender who brought the double to fruition. He is indeed the man of the moment. And his win is even more endearing against his unpleasant background. He was considered a mere glitch in Real Madrid. And most thought he didn’t have the guts of a Chelsea player.

This perception of him, however, is about to fizzle out. If it already has not faded away by now. While he only created goals in the past, taking little credits here and there, he has come upfront to being an indispensable scorer. The twist to this is that talks of his being replaced by other high profile players, specifically Juventus’ Alex Sandro and Tottenham’s Danny Rose had pervaded the air. But with the stunt he pulled against the Spurs, Conte will have to rethink the decision of dispensing with him. Or even forget he ever thought about it.

  1. The new ‘unstoppable’ for this Premier League

Stunning 4-0 victories in two consecutive games! Call it chance games, call it sheer luck, however way you decide to see it, this is definitely worth calling remarkable. If you have been in tune with the Super Sports channels on your DStv, GOtv and Startimes decoders, you would relate to the fact that Manchester United are digging deep for the title this season in more dynamic ways than expected. Not only have they demonstrated athletic acumen in their games against West Ham United and Swansea FC, they have also discovered new premier league goalscorers.

THOSE WHO MADE IT HAPPEN

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 110 YEARS, MAN UNITED GET OFF TO A GREAT START IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE
MAN UNITED REJOICE OVER CONSECUTIVE VICTORY
PAUL POGBA STUNS AS ALWAYS IN THIS PREMIER LEAGUE
PAUL POGBA- THE MAN OF THE MATCH

Paul Pogba has been described the man of these matches, even joining the exclusive list of Manchester United’s exceptional scorers who ended one season with a goal, and the very next with a goal too (as seen in his stunning goal in the match against West Ham). Another is Anthony Martial, who has started out on an excellent note this season by scoring two goals in two games. New upstart he may be, but he seems to be blending well on the field with the likes of Romelu Lakaku and Paul Pogba. It was their rueful synergy that offset the three goals produced in just four minutes at the Swansea’s Liberty Stadium.

Another is Anthony Martial, who has started out on an excellent note this season by scoring two goals in two games. He seems to be blending well on the field with the likes of Romelu Lakaku and Paul Pogba. It was their awesome synergy that offset the three goals produced in just four minutes at the Swansea’s Liberty Stadium.  While Jose Mourinho insists that Marcus Rashford still has to learn how to adapt to difficult situations and hostile treatments from rival fans, it is evident that the young chap has gotten off to an impressive start this season.

TRANSFER SUCCESSES

ROMERU SHOWS STUNTS IN THIS YEAR'S PREMIER LEAGUE
ROMELU LAKAKU- ONE OF THE TRANSFER SUCCESSES

Jose Mourinho has a lot to boast about his shrewd choices and bargains in the pre-season market. The inclusion of new players like Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lakaku and Victor Lindelof has proven to be quite tactical moves. Romelu Lakaku, on his part, is a perfect example of how a faithful never strays far from his master. During Mourinho’s stay at Chelsea, he was an abiding presence before he was transferred to Everton. Now back with Mourinho in Manchester United, he is proving to be just the striker that Manchester United needs. It would indeed appear that Manchester United is the new unstoppable for this English Premier League.
