# Aisha Came From The Ghetto
She was born and brought up in Kano state in December 1974. According to her, she was brought up in a ghetto:
"Where I grew up in Kano State can be compared to a ghetto , in fact , some people call it the Ajegunle of Kano where you have a lot of drug users , street children , alumajiris , and using drugs was very normal over there. If you were not into drugs in that area , you were seen as an odd person"
# Aisha Is An Edo Woman
Her parents were Edo Indigenes who resided in Kano. This means that, she is a full blooded Edo woman; not denying the fact that she was born and bred in Kano.
# Aisha Attended 3 Universities Before She Finally Graduated From Bayero University, Kano
In 1992, at the age of 18, Aisha got admission into the Uthman Dan Fodio University. Two years later, she left after a crisis rocked the school.
She later enrolled at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria to study Medicine. However, there was yet another crisis and she had to leave again.
Finally, she got herself into Bayero University, Kano, where she graduated with a degree in Microbiology.

This Is Why I Believe Jesus Wore Dreadlocks
~2.7 mins read
Opinion: This Is Why I Believe Jesus Wore Dreadlocks.
Jesus walked this earth 2000 years ago. At that time, there was no photo camera. This means, Jesus never had a photoshoot all through his stay on earth. But how come we now have his pictures in our homes, churches, offices etc?
It's quite funny that most people actually believe that the face of the man they see on their calendar and frames is that of Jesus. Contrarily, it is not. It is the face of one Mr. Robert Powell, the man who played the role of Jesus in the movie "Jesus Of Nazareth".
It's so sad that the image of this man is what many now know to be the image of Jesus. And so, they will call you a joke if you claim a Jesus that is different from the Jesus that they see on their calendar/ picture frames. Instead of them to look at their Bible, they prefer to look at the picture on their calendar
I had to say all of this to establish the fact that nobody knows what Jesus really looks like since no one was there when he was around. So, you cannot tell me that Jesus is white, or black or brown. And you cannot be so sure that Jesus looked like Robert Powell, neither can you be so sure that Jesus was not dreadlocked. But One thing we know for sure is that, Jesus was a Nazarite.
Who Is A Nazarite?
According to the Bible, a Nazarite is a person who "lets the locks of the hair of his head grow as a sign of his covenant to the almighty God". Read Numbers 6:2 and 5.
A very good example of a Nazarite was Samson. Bible records that Samson was a Nazarite.
Before Samson was born, an angel of God spoke to his mother and this was what was told to her:
" For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” Judges 13:5
This is Samson's own testimony about himself:
...“No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”Judges 16:17
It was specifically mentioned in the Bible that Samson had seven locks. Read Judgeds 16:19
Nazarites were known for their dread locks, which was a sign of their devotion to God. And over time, the village where they lived in Israel became known as Nazareth.That was where Jesus grew up from; and that is why he is called Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Read Matthew 2:23, Luke 4:16.
Now, when you understand the reason our Lord was called Jesus of Nazareth, you'll see that he was a Nazarite, and as such, must have grown locks.
~ Why do you think the woman with the alabaster box poured the expensive perfume on the head of Jesus? Mark 14:3
~ Why do you think Nathaniel was surprised when philip told him that Jesus came from Nazareth? John 1: 45-46
Some questions to further open your eyes to this truth.
