Honourable Abdul Lateef Abdul Hakeem, Commissioner for Home Affairs was yesterday nicknamed 'Atibyaany' by His Eminence Shaykh Yahya Oshoala Ajagbemokeferi As-Samadaani Ameerul Muhminin Asadul Aarifin, Chief Imam Jamiu, Oriwu Central Mosque, Ikorodu Division.

His Eminence As-Samadaani gave him the cognomen at one of the mosques under his jurisdiction, the monumental Erunwen Central Mosque, Ikorodu 6th Ramadan Public lecture where the Commissioner was the Guest Lecturer.

The guest lecturer, Hon Iyepe as he is fondly addressed, was given this byname, Atibyaany, meaning 'The Explanator' owing to his all time explicit expressions and deliveries.

Gift is a rare commodity, as well common because it is readily bestowed on every individual however in varying nature and degree.

The gift of explanation is such given gift embedded in Hon. Abdul Lateef Abdul Hakeem.

Today, at the occasion, he dwelled on the topic, Is there judgement after death?

To the justice to this, Hon. Abdul Hakeem Abdul Lateef, Commissioner for Home Affairs started by his usual series of songs' lecture and reiterated that we begin as sand, we are bearing sand and will end as sand.

According to him, he said "I am quite surprise of the choice of this topic because people dislike the mention of death but it seems we are now coming to terms with this reality, death."

He said," human beings have embraced the world but forgotten hereafter, love food forgotten that something will eventually consume us, desire magnificent and aesthetic buildings neglecting the grave, etcetera."

In furtherance, he said "we have chose to neglect this day that will mark our end in this world (death) which is synonymous to the day that marked our beginning (birth). On both days, we will be carried, bathed, clothed, and catered for, unaware of those that rejoiced upon our birth, as well as those that will sympathize upon our departure. It is the prescribed norm to render Adhan, later followed by Iqamah and Solat follows immediately. However, Adhan and Iqamah was rendered into our ears on the day of birth, the Solat will not be performed until the day of our death".

"Affirmatively, there is judgement after death. The day of resurrection, day of reward, day of classification, day of yours and yours alone..... Prepare for this day with worship, good deeds and their likes to gain the mercy of Allah on the said date", he admonished.

Behold, this and many more erudite and explicit deliveries makes the Chief Imam and Ameerul Muhminin of Ikorodu Division deem him fit for the epithet, 'ATIBYAANY', THE EXPLANATOR.

Responding to the byname, the Honourable Commissioner for Home Affairs promised to henceforth add it to his names; HON. ABDUL LATEEF ABDUL HAKEEM ATIBYAANY (HON IYEPE).
