They described the CJN as heating the polity by thus calling for what they described, laughably though, as the Islamization of the country.…

I Saw the Miracle of Allah, By Hannatu Musawa

Emporium Reporters

On Saturday September 14, at approximately 5:52 pm I witnessed the miracle of Allah. There was a fire. It was ferocious and intense. It was unforgiving and determined. It ate up everything in its wake, as its scorching embers made their way through material and matter, melting even metal and desecrating all. Almost everything was lost.

Emporium Reporters

Abdullahi Mukhtar Muhammad, is to me like the Sardauna of Hajj in Nigeria. He fought many battles during his time in Nigerian Hajj industry to take pilgrimage out of the dungeon. He continued fighting forces from within and without for him to achieve the many manifest feats he had done through the years.
