The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.

    Ramadan Mubarak! Yes, it’s that time of the year Ramadan Mubarak! Yes, it’s that time of the year when Muslims around the world observe the sacred month of Ramadan by fasting, praying and carrying out good deeds.

However, depriving oneself of nourishment and abstaining from certain pleasures before the sun sets can be very tough during the fasting month. With this in mind, app makers have created different kinds of platforms to make the month easier and more spiritual.

In our new post, we curated some handy apps and platforms that can help to keep prayer times and directions, habits, Qur’an exploring and diet management during the fasting month.
