A great father figure I have had is Brother Bako from the Masjid in Brentwood, California called (BMCC).

We talk about everything and anything. He has been a great friend, father and personal trainer to me.

He’s original from Maiduguri (/maɪˈduːɡʊri/ my-DOO-guurr-ee) is the capital and the largest city of Borno State in north-eastern Nigeria, on the continent of Africa.

The city sits along the seasonal Ngadda River which disappears into the Firki swamps in the areas around Lake Chad.

Maiduguri was founded in 1907 as a military outpost by the British Empire during the colonial period. As of 2022, Maiduguri is estimated to have a population of approximately two million people, in the metropolitan area.

He visited just a couple of months back actually he told me. He flys into the country from Abuja airport, says he never really goes to Lagos State at all, he says all his business and matters are in Borneo State.

Borno State is a state in the North-East geopolitical zone of Nigeria.

It is bordered by Yobe to the west for about 421 km, Gombe to the southwest for 93 km, and Adamawa to the south while its eastern border forms part of the national border with Cameroon for about 426 km (265 miles, partly across the Ebedi and Kalia Rivers).

Its northern border forms part of the national border with Niger for about 223 km, mostly across the Komadougou-Yobe River, and its northeastern border forms all of the national border with Chad for 85 km (53 miles).

It is the only Nigerian state to border up to three countries. It takes its name from the historic emirate of Borno, with the emirate's old capital of Maiduguri serving as the capital city of Borno State.

The state was formed in 1976 when the former North-Eastern State was broken up. It originally included the area that is now Yobe State, which became a distinct state in 1991

He’s been really great to me, usually see him with his brother also who comes to the masjid for prayers also.

He helps and handles all and most activities at the masjid, even Sunday school classes for the Muslim children. He handles.

Thanks to all the Imam’s and Muslim people for helping me us and other religious leaders from other religions

He’s an incredible and an inspiration. I told him that if we were in Nigeria, I would probably never even see him or hang out with him cause he based up north.

True Islam I have met and connected with so many brothers and sisters from different backgrounds, cultures and areas Algeria, Libya, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Nigerian born in Dubai, Muslims from India, converts like myself from other countries around the world.

It’s awesome, I’m fortunate and grateful for it all.

🙏🏽, Mashallah.

Rest in Power to the greatest Biopic actor of my generation.

You were great in 42 as Jackie Robinson.

You were magnificent in Marshall as the late great Lawyer Thurgood Marshall.

You phenomenal in Get on Up as James Brown.

You are forever alive as T'Challa from Wakanda in our hearts.

You held that Wakanda sign and pose on some many red carpets worldwide, for every continental premiere of the movie 🎥, me and my brothers started to wonder if you went to sleep everyday like that also Champ, but you were so strong because you and your family knew what you were battling internally Champ, mad SALUTE.

Your movies didn’t get a lot of public notoriety up until recently, for that’s mainly how I really got access to watch you act your magic on screen at the crib for low low.

I knew there was something special about you brotherman, when I looked at your Filmography, and asked myself why this guy always pick these meaning roles and portrayals of legends whom the box office would never really respect ✊🏽, doesn’t he want to make bread and get a big bag like his counterparts.

It’s because you always knew the bigger picture, for to some it was another straight to DVD, TV or Netflix movie, but to most it was straight to our hearts and minds.

Rest Easy Strong Champ, for no one gets out alive, and at the end of the day, the Kings, Queens, Prince’s, Princess’s and Pawns all go into the same box.

Life Is So Fragile Indeed, Rest easy champ.

Always pick consistency over intensity.

Consistency beats drama.

Anything not consistent is drama.
