My Grand father prayed in this Mosque

My grand mother prayed here too

My father comes from here.

One day I slept at the back of this mosque as a boy after prayers and my grand mother left me there but they later discovered me in deep sleep at night.

Every Friday, they say Special Prayers (duaw) for me in this Mosque and ask God for my continued protection.

I ran around in the neighborhood and started school here.

They know me here as "Sweetie", for that was my baby name. They still remember it here

My Mother lives here (see photo).

I was born here.

They look at me with emotional love here.

Today, in continuation of our work on the Mosque, I delivered what they needed most before fast month - Advanced Public Address System from my personal funds.

They have prayed for me and thanked HE President Maada Bio immensely for his support to the fight against corruption and their son.
