I am Honored to have been commissioned to Design the Vice president’s Residence masjid at Akinola Aguda House of the presidential Villa in December.
Below are the process Shots. I design masjids and I am best at what I do,please help RT my client might be on your timeline🤗
I was contacted in June to do a Mosque project at Ilorin,Kwara state. I was skeptical at first because before that call I had never painted a Mosque 🕌 before,but I gave myself a prep talk “Leema,what’s the worst that can happen?” and so I accepted the commission....
This!!! Still can’t believe I hand drew and hand painted this in two days. It’s so neat! Using this opportunity to appreciate myself. YOU(Halima Abubakar) is Amazing!
Client: I want the kids room completed in two days,it’s a surprise and the kids/Mum comes back in two days.
Me: say no more.
I am so glad I was able to meet up on such short notice and get it done just in time for everyone to be surprised.

Currently spending my Ramadan in a Christian friend's house with his family, couldn't make it home due to lockdown. The way they are treating me is the best, bought stuffs for me, eggs, carton of noodles and anything they think I need, and asking almost 5times a day if I am okay

I can so relate! My team members tell me sometimes “just leave it,the client will not know it’s a mistake” n I always reply “they might not know but I know n it doesn’t sit well with my spirit,it’s not about finishing fast but finishing well”. A good name is better than riches!

How is eating 12k food gluttony? Have you even seen the prices of the food in restaurants? Milkshake alone is 3k plus, she had seafood spag, do you know how much that cost? The 12k can give her just 2-3things on the menu. Stop projecting your pocket.
