It's been over 6yrs = 72 months = 312 weeks and more that I've suffered this "spinal cord" illness.

It's with an excruciating pain that has lasted every hour and every second of these years.

I've exhausted every medical, herbal and physio-medical option but to no avail.

All these years, I've been praying; my parents have been praying; my family have been praying; many of my friends have.

I've had to face times that I got depressed in hopelessness and thoughts of a never-healing life.

I smile a lot, so people mostly don't notice or know

Tonight will be for the 27th of Ramadan -- highly probable of being Lailatul Ƙadr -- a night of no "no" to any prayer.

My dear brothers and sisters, today I bare my heart open to you all, and appeal for help -- not of money or anything -- but to spare 30 secs of your Tahajjud..

And pray for me.

For your prayers, my name is USMAN ALIYU HAYATU(exclude the Duke).

May Allah grant all our good prayers and heal every ailing person out there.
