The Seven Goals For a Productive Day- Suratul Fatiha

Is it money we didn't spend, or fasting and Prayers? Cancer, you just chose to take her home so early, God is watching you. Mrs. Olufunmilayo Aduni Olayinka The ravaging effects of Cancer have long been a recurring decimal and several  Nigerian families like "the Sarakis' of  Kwara" have experienced the agony of losing relations to the disease. It has become a common disease to a lot of people because it has touched them somehow, caused them some kind of pain, directly or indirectly.

Goldie, the unpredictable Goldie is pulling surprises even in death.
