I got this heart-rending message from a friend on facebook: Pls your own contribution too, no matter how small will be appreciated:

Dear all,

Apologies for this rather urgent and emotional call, it’s a call to save the live of one of our own Brothers, !!! Mr Uthman Mogaji.

“Uthman Mogaji” an indigene of Offa whose family house is in “Popo-Igi n’sogba Area and Mogaji Lane off Adeleke Road Offa” is a well-known personality especially amongst Offa Students and other muslim students who had attended University of Ilorin in Kwara State, Nigeria . While at the University, He has held several administrative positions in the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) at the institution, area council, central branch and state levels. He is presently one of the state excos of kwara State area unit of MSSN.

Today, He has been diagnosed with cancer of the liver (hepatoma). Uthman Mogaji has been in discomfort for some weeks now until medical diagnosis finally revealed that he has hepatoma. His doctors have advised him to seek treatment abroad and this has to be urgent. As we speak, Uthman is in serious pain and has been advised to have bed rest.

We are hereby calling on all kind-hearted individuals among Offa indigenes and our friends to assist our brother in raising this sum. All donations should be paid into the account of Oasis Muslim Care Fund (OMCF):

And how are we sure this is no scam?

Not a scam. The money's been raised, the brother treated and he's recuperating in Nigeria. Check the link http://www.oasismuslimcare.org/index.php/news/60-latest-update-on-uthman-mogaji . His pictures would be posted soon!

Alihamdulilahi for the lastest news, Our former Amir still called me about his issue and i did forward the mails to my friends and a contact dat i knw can help even though i cant really place his face again but our former Amir says he is sum1 i knw very well so im all eager to see his picture too.

it isn't a scam at all, im hapi that he eventually got the help he needed.

Eager to see the face too. Having my childhood years in Offa too, I may know him. The name even sounds familiar.

Salam brodas and sistas, its so unfortunate that we lost this brother on saturday as contained in a text message from my former amir yestr,

Also two sisters from MICA abuja lost their lives in a head on collusion at airport road abuja,

May Allah forgive their sins and grant them al-jannah firdaus and for those of us remaining may Allah gives us the grace to continue our good deeds and drop the bad ones and also spare our lives,

Yestr was filled with bad news and i just feel so numb,

May Allah s.w.t.  forgive their Sins and Grant them Jannatul Firdaus Ameen.

It's painful the brother eventually died but Allah knows best.

There are reckless drivers in abuja sha. Becos the roads are wide&always free, drivers over speed.
Last friday, i was rushing from the CBN hq in the central area to the airport to catch a virgin Nigeria plane to Lagos. It was God that save my life cos the cab driver was over speeding in a bid for me to get to the airport intime.Imagine, i eventually missed the flight. I pray that shd grant peace to the departeds souls&protect us that are alive from evil
