IN THE NEWS…
END OF THE FRENCH CONNECTION!!!!!!
PARIS (AP) — President Emmanuel Macron announced Sunday, September 24, 2023, that France will end its military presence in Niger and pull out its ambassador out of the country as a result of the coup that removed the deposed president.
Niger’s new leader said in response that the announcement signals a “new step towards the sovereignty” of the central African Nation.
THE NEW LEADER OF THE NIGER – ABDUR RAHMAN said in a statement,
“Imperialist and neo-colonialist forces (france) are no longer welcome on our national territory.”
The announcement was a significant blow to France’s foreign policy in Africa.
Recently, French troops were forced to retreat out of neighboring Mali, Burkina Faso and The entire Guinea after similar coup-de-etats there.

“WHATʻS UP???”
السلام علايكم
Basically, this Sister is at her wits end because her husband has taken up gambling!
He is missing work and distracted. He has promised to quit but gambling is a serious addiction and his efforts to stop have been in vain.
He is losing money and lying to her about it.
They have tried counseling to no avail.
Should she divorce him???
The question sounds silly when I put it to you, doesnʻt it?
Better or worse, SICKNESS and health… TILL DEATH DO YOU PART!!!
Sister, Sister, Sister, I cannot imagine the frustration you must be going through.
I read a book wherein a Sister thought her husband was being unfaithful but when he wasnʻt with her, he was actually spending his time GAMBLING at the horse races!!!
Money.
I am not sure the extent of your problem and luckily I have not had any personal encounters with a gambler.
But just break down the name:
The root is GAME!
This society is so wicked that it deceives you into UNCONSCIOUSLY thinking GAMBLING is just a game.
And there are so many ways that innocent people get ensnared in financial problems originally thinking a “game” is innocent fun.
This is why I have a healthy fear of MONEY!
PERIODT!
I try to avoid it.
When you mention money I run!
I met a Sister whose son had gotten killed over $200 or 300!!! So sad.
But I have also read about a Brother who had never had a job or been self-employed.
He was a PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER!
I guess like any addiction it depends on the individual.
Your husband, however, is married. Thus, no longer an “individual.”
You two are inextricably attached AS LONG AS YOU BOTH SHALL LIVE!!!
So his gambling affects your entire household.
Counseling has not been effective.
You could try a different counselor.
Having had mental issues the bulk of my life, I know that finding an effective counselor/therapist/psychiatrist/psychologist is like finding a spouse. For me anyway.
There are so many things going on, personally, with your counselor.
Before you even step into the office!
My psychiatrist was Dr. Richard 27X King – THE MELANIN MAN – but by the end of our fifteen year association, he was telling me his problems!!!
Then I would leave.
It got to be pretty bad.
I read a book by an African Sage and he warned us that when you add money to the equation all effective counseling goes out of the window.
Everyone has their own personal motivation.
Some professionals conspire to keep you. a patient.
If you are healed; they lose your payment.
They lose and every nickel counts.
I know it is bad and sad, but unfortunately TRUE.
You have to be extremely careful.
My doctor was HIGHLY REPUTABLE, but in the end he was abusing his position and power.
And Allah Killed Him for me.
So, you might consider a different type of therapy.
Exercise/Dance/Music; Change of scenery/staycation; Hobbies, Aquatherapy (swimming, sauna, beaches) Aromatherapy/Ambience (incense, candles, crystals)..
My Number One /suggestion is PRAYER DUʻA
ALLAH IS THE BEST HEALER.
You have to explain how gambling is a MENTAL ILLNESS.
So you have to treat it by changing his way of thinking.
That is Best Accomplished through PRAYER!
LEARN AND MEMORIZE THIS PRAYER!
I GUARANTEE YOUR HUSBAND WILL STOP GAMBLING!!!
RECITE THIS PRAYER CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY.
I REPEAT, I GUARANTEE YOUR HUSBAND WILL STOP GAMBLING.
Have your husband learn and repeat this duʻa for healing REPEATEDLY THROUGHOUT HIS DAY.
“O ALLAH! GRANT HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN MY BODY. O ALLAH! GRANT HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN MY BODY. O ALLAH! GRANT HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN MY BODY. THERE IS NO GOD BUT THEE.”
الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر
Iʻm a real Common Sense kind of girl and it seems to me, if you spend EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY with your husband, you would ensure that he could not spend any time gambling.
Do this for as long as it takes. Generally habits are formed in intervals of three.
Three sets of twenty-three hours, fifty-four minutes and fifty-seven seconds.
Three sets of weeks.
Three sets of months.
Three sets of years.
Three sets of decades.
Three sets of a score of years.
Three centuries.
Three millenia.
However long.
You plan to be married till death do you part.
So, ideally, you should be doing this anyway.
Maybe you fell off.
You ever think of that?
What drove him to gambling?
That is often a good way to solve a problem.
What caused it?
Maybe you are discrepant in the attention you should be showering on him
And so your husband is now seeking a way to occupy the space YOU left empty.
Acknowledge this and FILL IT!
FILL THE VOID IN YOUR HUSBANDʻS LIFE THAT HE IS TRYING TO FILL WITH GAMBLING!!!
GET IT IN!
USE THAT GAMBLING MONEY AND TAKE A STAYCATION IN TAHITI!!!
GO SKIING IN THE SWISS ALPS…
TAKE THE CHILDREN CAMPING! HIKE! MAKE VEGETARIAN ISLAMIC HALAL SMORES OVER A CAMPFIRE!!! YUMMY!!!! 😋 😋 😋 GO SWIMMING IN A LAKE AND RAFTING!!! THE CHILDREN WILL LOVE IT!!!
Point is, you made a commitment, so you are obligated to see it through to your lifeʻs end.
That means digging in your heels, Jumping on your husbandʻs back and supplanting that gambling demon with your love, affection, attention and dedication to him and to your marriage!!!
It is going to take EVERY OUNCE OF YOUR ABILITY to see him and you and your family through this!!!
You donʻt want medication.
I wouldnʻt even advise you to involve outsiders.
Quit your job – you are not supposed to have anyway – and dedicate yourself to your husband as you should!!!
Soon you will not even remember what that word means.
Stay your husband clear of anything that starts with GAM!!!
Stay your husband clear of any type of wager!!!
No SPORTS!!! (organized GAMES)
FIND A HOBBY FOR YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY.
My bff is my skateboard. Serious FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!
FIND YOUR LOCAL SKATEPARK AND GET IT IN!!!
And STAY UP!!!!! ❤ ❤ ,3 ,3 ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
IN CONCLUSION
TSOP!!!
OMG THAT BASSLINE IS 🔥 🔥 I gotta say that about disco. The bass is unmatched.
Also I heard G&H talking about how The Jonesʻ Girls Harmony is unmatched. I concur.
