Nollywood actor Yinka Quadri is marking his birthday in an unconventional way.
The veteran, via his social media page, announced that he would be dedicating today to prayers, charity, and gratitude. According to him, he would start his day with prayers, then share love and give back to those in need before coming home.
He told those who intend to visit him to come to hishouse after his charity visit.
“Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Alamin.
Glory be to God Almighty, for He alone makes all things possible. Today, I am +1.
I am deeply grateful to Allah for the gift of life, for His protection, His mercy, and for bringing me to yet another beautiful milestone. My prayer is that Allah grants me long life, sound health, peace, prosperity, and a life filled with purpose and impact. Ameen.
To my family, friends, fans, colleagues, and all my wonderful well-wishers who wish to celebrate with me, I sincerely appreciate your love, prayers, and goodwill. Rather than a conventional birthday celebration, I have chosen to dedicate today to prayers, charity, and gratitude.
I will be at home from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for prayers. Afterwards, I will proceed to a charity home to share love and give back to those in need, before returning home.
Anyone who wishes to celebrate with me is warmly welcome to visit me at home after the charity visit. Your presence, prayers, and goodwill will mean more to me than any elaborate celebration.
My birthday prayers today will be centred on:
Long life, prosperity, peace and divine protection for myself and my family.
Peace, progress and prosperity for Nigeria and Nigerians.
Prayers for the souls of my late friend and parents, that Allah continues to grant them eternal rest and admit them into paradise
As I begin another year of my life, I pray that Allah continues to guide my steps, bless my family, increase me in wisdom and grace, and make my life a blessing to others.
Oh Lord, make this new chapter better than the previous one and grant me many more years in good health, happiness, peace and prosperity. Ameen.
Alhamdulillah for life. Alhamdulillah for another year. Alhamdulillah for everything.
Happy Birthday to me”.
