By Olorunfemi Adejuyigbe
The disciples of Prophet TB Joshua have visited the old people’s home in Yaba area of Lagos state to appreciate the old people with food items and cash gift.
During their visit to the home yesterday, Thursday, 7th of July, 2022, the disciples encouraged the elderly with the message of Prophet TB Joshua which says, “It is not a crime to be old; it is the grace of God. As Christians, we owe it as an obligation to give them the kind of love, even greater love than they gave us when we were too young to support ourselves”.
The disciples added that the visit and gift items are to appreciate the old people for what they have done and the love they have shown to the young ones; taking care of them, showing love and concern.
In their reactions, the home appreciated the disciples of Prophet TB Joshua for following the legacy of the renowned prophet who is known for his many philanthropic activities to the society including the old ones.
It would be recalled that Prophet TB Joshua had on many occasions visited the homes of the oldest people in some communities, giving them cash gifts, food items and preaching the Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ to them.
Of the truth, though he isn’t physically present, the legacy of the Prophet has continued to live on in the hands of his disciples. Since he was called to be with the Lord, the disciples of Prophet TB Joshua have done the unexpected with charity. They have given to the blind, widows, those with disabilities, special needs, old people, among a host of many others. As Prophet TB Joshua always says, “Let love lead”.

In a world where the bonds of love and faith should transcend earthly judgments, Alhaja Enitanwa Muibat Lanre Shittu finds herself battling not only for justice but for the affirmation of her dignity and place within her late husband’s legacy.
Alhaja Enitanwa, the widow of renowned business mogul Lanre Shittu, faces an overwhelming injustice as she appeals a ruling by the Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court. This court dismissed her case by claiming it lacked the jurisdiction to do so.
This judgment, for Alhaja Enitanwa, represents a painful contradiction. The Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court had been specially designated to hear cases rooted in Islamic law—a foundation of faith and tradition that defined her marriage to her beloved husband. How, then, can this same court deny its duty to preside over the case she brings forward, a case so deeply tied to her faith and rightful place within her family?
At the heart of her appeal is a plea for recognition, not only for herself but for every Muslim woman whose rights are meant to be upheld by the legal protections guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution. Her counsel, Barrister Kayode Ademiluyi, stresses that this Constitution embraces Sharia law as a personal and protected path for Muslims, enshrining the rights of individuals like Alhaja Enitanwa to have their marital bonds honored by the law.
The Customary Court Law of Lagos State further cements these rights. By law, designated courts are empowered to adjudicate in matters of Islamic law—marriage, divorce, and family bonds. Yet, for reasons unknown, the Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court has chosen to ignore this mandate, casting aside the deeply personal matter Alhaja Enitanwa brought to its doors.
She seeks more than validation; she seeks justice. For Alhaja Enitanwa, this appeal is an urgent call for the court to correct a decision that, in its oversight, has left her in limbo, questioning the very foundations of her marriage and her place within a family she holds dear.
Her appeal will journey through the Customary Court of Appeal, a court of immense authority, with the power to oversee customary law matters. Here, the court will have the solemn duty to interpret her case in the spirit of fairness, upholding the principles of religious and personal freedoms granted under Nigerian law. Alhaja Enitanwa’s case is not just about her suffering but about restoring the dignity of every Muslim woman who looks to the law to honour her faith and protect her rights.
Let us remember that at the heart of this case lies a woman—a mother, a widow—whose only desire is to protect the bond she shared with her late husband and to honour the life they built together under Islamic law. Alhaja Enitanwa’s struggle resonates far beyond her plight; it is a struggle for justice, for the rights of Muslim women, and for the values enshrined in the law.
