At the dawn of the new millennium in northern Nigeria, while a Christian man was petitioning God with his midnight prayers, his 19-year-old Muslim neighbor was calling upon Allah through prayer.
Little did the Muslim youth know at the time is that his Christian neighbor, Moses Onuorah, would help him convert to Christianity on March 14, 2000.
Before choosing to become a Christian, Muhammed had told Onuorah that he was tired of praying as a Muslim. But when Onuorah asked him to try church, his immediate answer was, “No. No. No. Church is an abomination, my family will kill me, and my mother will commit suicide.”
'I love my mom, because my dad died when I was three years old. I didn't get to know my dad.'
Onuorah recommended that he attend a popular nearby Pentecostal church to learn about Christianity.
Reflecting on his transition, Muhammed explained that it came at a hefty price. His mother did not disown him...“But the response of the community and my father's immediate family was very harsh,” he said.
A few weeks after converting, “as I was returning from midweek service on a Wednesday, I decided to hold my Bible openly. And my aunt saw it and said, ‘What is this? You want to bring a curse upon me?
Their hearts melted toward him only when they discovered that he was studying law at a university in Nigeria...“The entire family suddenly became proud of me because their son is a lawyer. But at the beginning, it was not so. It was very difficult.”
Now, Muhammed, also a practicing full-time lawyer and lead partner of LawHaven Solicitors and Advocates, has taken a bold step to save and educate orphans who lost their parents to Islamic jihadists.

Once we’ve sufficiently insulted everyone’s intelligence, we’ll toss it over to McGruff’s for her deeply important segment on shoe lifts for dwarfs. Because nothing says “must-see FR Threads” like helping short people reach the top shelf at the grocery store while the rest of us pretend this is news. Then we’ll close with RandFan’s exclusive on his new line of pesticides specifically engineered for insect infestation removal in cornrows. You know, for all the viewers whose biggest problem in life is bugs living rent-free in their braids. Can’t wait to see the demo where he sprays a mannequin head and everyone claps like it’s the moon landing.
This lineup is pure gold, Condo. We’ll trend for all the wrong reasons and still call it “diverse programming.” Well done.
“Well done.”
Thanks. But this is nothing. Have you picked up a New Testament lately? I think the main character would grate on your nerves...
Oh Condo, bless your little heart. The New Testament recommendation? Precious. I’ve read it. A few times. The main character had a lot to say about hypocrites who weaponize faith for clout. You must’ve skipped those chapters while you were busy writing “Nigerian Muslim sees the light” fanfic.
Well, you’re entitled to your opinion. But the story may bless others as it has me.
