Turkish TV serials and films are becoming big hits in Muslim-majority northern Nigeria as more of them are translated into the local Hausa language, drawing new viewers and generating a huge fan base in the African country. Baba Abdullahi and his family are gathered in their living room in the northern Nigerian city of Kano on a Saturday afternoon to watch the Turkish hit serial “Ertugrul.”. None of them knows the Turkish language. “The film is highly intriguing. It’s awesome and meaningful,” Abdullahi tells TRT Afrika, referring to the series about one of the most famous Turkish warriors of the 13th century and the father of Osman Ghazi, founder of the Ottoman Empire. Although the Turkish population in Nigeria is generally believed to be too small to influence the lifestyles of Nigerians or to spread the Turkish language, many people can now understand Turkish across northern Nigeria.

#Cumalıkızık Village is a historical and touristic village located within the boundaries of the Yıldırım district of #Bursa, Turkiye. The village is known for its historical houses, narrow streets, and natural beauties that date back to the Ottoman Empire period. Cumalıkızık Village was founded during the early years of the Ottoman Empire, believed to be in the 1300s during the reign of Orhan Gazi. The village was strategically important during the early years of the Ottoman Empire due to its proximity to Bursa, the first capital of the empire, and its location on an important trade route. The village's historical houses, made of wood and mud brick, are well-preserved and offer visitors a glimpse into Ottoman-era architecture and lifestyle. Visitors can also explore the village's narrow streets, which are lined with old houses, and visit the village's mosque, Hamam (Turkish bath), and other historical sites.

Village Life in Eastern Turkey The photos in the series capture people going about their daily lives; riding on horseback, bathing in the lakes and rivers, sitting around campfires and tending to their animals. Most noticeable is the stunning scenery that acts as a backdrop – from sprawling mountain ranges with snowy peaks to vast, dry open plains. Nadir describes what he found while exploring as “hidden lives,” lives being lived off the beaten track, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. “Once I traversed the steep paths and reached remote mountain villages such as Toreli, Alacayar, Bilgi and Uzuntekne, I was greeted with a kind of lifestyle very few of us have ever witnessed.” He met the region’s nomadic people in 2012 and one of them, Semsettin, took him to the highlands on horseback. “I felt like I was traveling in a different time,” he says. “I was fascinated by the eccentric relationship between the nomads and nature and animals.” These lives felt a world away from what Nadir is used to. It’s underpinned by this relationship with the natural world – nature’s “unmitigated presence,” he writes, means, “the profound unease that comes with modern living is entirely absent in these villages.” He’d never really considered what modern lives focused on technology were doing to people, but he became obsessed by these ideas. He read sociologists like Zygmunt Bauman, Paul Virilio, and Manuel Castells, who argue that “new technologies wiped out the concepts of time and place and gradually reduced human experiences.” But as he journeyed the mountains and foothills around Van, Nadir felt that time and place seemed alive and well. Technology clearly has its upsides and downsides, but in Nadir’s pictures we see a world removed from its clutches. by Alex Kahl

MUHAMMED ALI, the best name of the world boxer, said, 'I asked Allah for wealth, he gave me Islam. Muhammad Ali: The first white leader to embrace me is Mr. Erbakan The legendary name of world boxing, Muhammad Ali, died at the age of 74 in the hospital where he was treated for respiratory disease. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun It was October of 1976. We were not born yet. Istanbul was experiencing one of its usual sea-scented autumns. However, the historical Sultan Ahmet Square was witnessing such an end for the first time. The square was so crowded that if you throw a needle, it would not fall to the ground. Thousands of people were waiting for two people to come out of the Blue Mosque with great excitement and enthusiasm. These were MSP Chairman and Deputy Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan and the world's greatest boxer, Muhammed Ali Klay. This "man who flies like a butterfly and stings like a bee" became a Muslim, influenced by Malkom X, and changed his name from Cassius Marcellus to Muhammad Ali. It was the pride of all Muslims. Even after he became a Muslim, he attracted attention as an exemplary person with his behavior and lifestyle. By the way, it was a Turk who first taught Muhammad Ali to pray. He met while doing his master's degree in London, Prof. Nevzat Yalcintas. When this famous boxer landed at Yeşilköy Airport in October 1976, Necmettin Erbakan greeted him. When Erbakan and Muhammed Ali first embraced at the airport, thousands of people filling the Yeşilköy Airport made the square groan with "Mujahideen" slogans. The first place Erbakan and Muhammed Ali went after the airport was the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. The two of them performed the Friday prayer together, and together they opened their hands and prayed for the Muslims of the world. Muhammad Ali, later; “The first white leader to embrace me is Mr. Erbakan,” he said. May Allah treat him with his mercy. SOME NOTES ABOUT MUHAMMED ALI Muhammad Ali became the World Champion in 1964 at the age of 22, defeating Sony Liston. After this victory, he announced that he changed his religion and converted to Islam. If you want to watch this match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nMlsT_3Nco He had to take a break from boxing, which he loved so much, from 1967 to 1970. "The Vietnamese did no harm to me so that I could fight them." He was sentenced to 5 years in prison and a fine of 10 thousand dollars for not going to the Vietnam War. When his license and passport were taken from him, he faced financial difficulties during the lawsuit and declared bankruptcy. Two days after returning from the 1960 Rome Olympics, he threw his gold medal into the Ohio River when he learned that a restaurant only served whites. At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, another gold medal was awarded to him in place of this medal. He chose Islam as his religion and did not go to the Vietnam War. He expressed this situation as follows: "I have no problem with them." (I'I ain't got no quarrel with them Vietcong'). Because of this, his titles were confiscated and he was suspended from boxing. But he did not give up. During this time, he traveled to universities and talked about Islam. He had a close relationship with Malcolm X. He did productive work.
