Posting the photo online, Shettima wrote:

“Innalillahi waa inna ilaihir raji’un. Where are we heading to? In the mosque, while the imam is preaching and giving sermons on teachings of Prophet Muhammad SAW. We need to focus on our children's upbringing, not [the] material world.”

Fan gives thanks after bet

Meanwhile, a Nigerian football fan was spotted on social media, running into a mosque for thanksgiving, after staking just N800 to win a massive N38-million in a bet.

It was an amazing moment, as people gathered at the betting shop to see which games the man had played to make him win such a huge amount.

After rushing to the betting centre to check the results, he immediately ran into a nearby mosque to perform ablutions, Sports Brief reported.
