ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing... I won't give up. NEVER!!!
ReplyDeleteI prefer such men being given such positions, as they will understand what it entails.
ReplyDeleteWow, bless his soul, what resilience, very inspiring. He did not resort to kill himself or just sit and depend on alms, he fought hard to change his situation so he too can give alms, he kept pushing. Inspiring and encouraging. God bless you Mr. Kamaldeen.

If you wanna know more uncle, visit surulere, not aguda o, i mean main lere, from western avenue. He is a man of d boys...lere men/guys are generally simple
ReplyDeleteDetermination is the key to success.
ReplyDeleteThere's no chance.. No destiny, no fate that can hinder the firm resolve of a determined soul.
ReplyDeleteOur Legislators failed to make provisions in every and any way for our disabled citizens over the years till date.
ReplyDeleteWhat do these Senators and HOR members do for their constituencies with the funds allocated for projects.
How come this man, Mr. Kamaldeen begged and suffered on the streets to put himself through school.
I don't understand the praise accorded Femi Gbajabiamila.
