Imam is different from Alfa!
Imam leads the congregation in prayers in mosques

Alfa does other things, some halal, some haram

We're proud of our virgins. You can proud of your orun apaadi.
May Allah admit me to Aljannah and bless me with lots of non-intoxicating wines, clear honey, fresh milk, virgins, and most importantly, the pleasure of seeing His glorious face.

You can pray for hellfire if that's what you want.

NO FORGIVENESS AFTER DEATH

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
{Hebrews 9:27}

No prayers can save the dead;
No sacrifices can appease the dead;
No 'akara' distribution for eating
Can save the dead;
No seventy virgins for the dead:
Heaven is not some sort of brothel
Where carnal sexuality is...
What is the basis of the faith
Whose founder has no power
Over death and the grave?

There is no one that will not taste it

But this load that they carry on their heads though...

I watched a video of one of these popular imams from Ilorin where he was being interviewed in Saudi Arabia by the media in Saudi and they asked him why he was dressed like that with the big turban on his head and this guy lied that it was the traditional attire of the Yoruba people.

Yet, this turban is what they tell themselves here that that's the way you dress as a true Muslim because that's how they dress in Mecca... Now this imam got to Mecca and he was lying to them there because he didn't see anyone dressed like him there he said that's how Yoruba people dress..

May Allah forgive and have mercy on his soul ameen and grant Baba aljanatul firdaus.

Very accommodating and always ready to help the needy in his own capacity. I pray Allah to be well please with him. His unique quranic recitation voice will be much miss also.
