About 39 years. Friends since 1985 MashaAllah. 1st year of secondary school. Through different unis, marriages and now grandchildren alhamdulillah. May Allah preserve what we have 🤲🏾
Who still has a friend they have known for 8+ years?

Happened upon this exhibition in Nottingham. The man behind it told me he lectured at ABU Zaria in 1962. I must say it was a pleasant enough surprise.

I’m more shocked by those who argue that aboki only means friend and we should not be insulted by the term. See wahala. A northerner tells you they find the name, especially the context of usage derogatory you keep arguing that they shouldn’t be insulted. See me see rainin wayo.

For me, Prof Pius was the kind of scholar I aspired to be. His level of selflessness was beyond anything I had ever seen. His enduring love for Africa, inspiring. Today Africa has suggested a body blow. We had so few ‘Piuses’ 😢

Something about those images immediately doused my empathy and deactivated my crap detection fast; and then it continued. I remembered how they were housed in the community while Afghan refugees were left to wallow in rooms in a hotel. The list is endless.

Communication. But truly just a deep ethic of care, love and consideration. It does help that we are similar in many ways and we truly value each other. We have other friendships besides this but we carefully treasure this as well. It’s comfort - the one we run back to.

At times like this, the only way to vaccinate ourselves from hate Is with random (often seemingly) little acts of kindness to each other. Love trumps hate each time. This was left at a local mosque in small town Lincolnshire. Allah’s rahma and noor everyone hurting right now. 💚
