Service to humanity is one of God’s calls to all and this is what a volleyball Enthusiast, Adamu Karlai said while describing the impact President of Nigerian Volleyball Federation (NVBF), Engr Musa Nimrod has achieved.
According to him, Nimrod has created a brand of humanitarian service to himself, more than Nigerian billionaire, richest business mogul, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has.
Karlai, a passionate Adamawa-born volleyball lover who lives in Abuja, said Nimrod has impacted the lives of many people in Kaduna and other Northern states.
He said that the NVBF President is God fearing and through his benevolent gestures for many years, he has been providing potable water in Kaduna communities without wanting his name in print, distinguishing himself as a man who is truly sent by God to serve humanity.
Karlai said he has witnessed how the critical sports stakeholder has trained hundreds of youth in various sporting activities that are today making Nigeria proud in other countries.
He said Nigeria is in dire need of people like Nimrod who is detribalized and sees all humans as equal, irrespective of tribe, religion, or even place of origin.
According to him, Nimrod is a Christian and most of his close associates are Muslims and those he empowered are youth, mostly from Northern Nigeria.
He extolled Nimrod to be a man with a big heart and bold to serve humanity with the little resources he has, a virtue he said, is more than Dangote who is only known as the richest man in Africa, not as the richest humanist.
“This man is our Dangote, he made himself available to the common man, he is a passionate philanthropist who is all the time ready to help the downtrodden in our society.
“He endeared himself to many by his hatred of injustice especially when it is being meted on the less privileged, he is a multi-billion dollar man in kind and character and has hundreds of youth as his mentees. May God Almighty bless him.” Karlai said.
He pointed out that Nimrod has opened a foundation with the aim and vision to cater to the need of youth, especially those from the Northern part of the country and with less privileged backgrounds.
While praying for Musa Nimrod to live a fulfilled life to eternity where God will pay him better for the many sacrifices he has rendered to mankind, he called on well-to-do Nigerians to emulate his exemplary lifestyle, seeing that he is only after humanity, not after religion or tribe, before he supports someone in dire need.
