Hellooooooooooo! I've really missed you, yes you... please forgive my long time break😔🤦. Special shout-out to Oiza, Emmanuel, Tamilore for the extra push to get this piece out on my blog ...you guys are the real g's.

Glancing through the paper, sweat from heaven knows where flooded my body. I remained speechless as I recalled how it all started. I was in the central mosque some months ago, memorizing some of the verses of the Al-Baqarah. I was on verse 255 when I heard a strange voice whisper “Jesus is the only true and living God”.
