Remembering the Light of Hadiza D. Makama: A Tribute to a Remarkable Woman

Image
  ~~ Ahman Makams  In loving memory of our beloved sister, cousin, daughter, and remarkable woman, Hadiza D. Makama. We gathered today in the morning for the Fidau prayers to honor and remember her beautiful soul. Hadiza left us on the 29th of December 2024 in Abuja, leaving a void in our hearts that can never be filled. Hadiza was a joyous and intelligent individual, known for her kindness and gentle nature. She was a shining light in our lives, always ready to lend an ear and offer a helping hand. Her loss has been deeply felt by her family, friends, colleagues, and the entire community. Hailing from the prestigious Aliyu Makama, Maji Ndayako and Waziri dynasty of Nupe Land, Bida in Niger State, Hadiza was a true gem. Her husband, Shuaibu Babadoko Musa (Kamala), will undoubtedly miss her dearly. They were a perfect match, a unique and loving couple blessed by God Almighty. We pray that Allah blesses Hadiza's soul and grants her a place in Aljannah Firdausi. May her grave be ...

Image
~~ Dr.Wey George Danlami Consultant-Family Physician  Tuberculosis, commonly known as TB, is an infectious disease caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that most often affects the lungs. It is spread through the air when people with TB cough, sneeze, or spit, and a person only needs to inhale a few germs to become infected.
