Nigeria. Enugu State. Traffic on the road to Awhun. Cars and trucks on dirt road. Hand on steering whell. A truck driven by a muslim Hausa man has a drawing on the back of his lorry. The sketch is about a moslem man kneeling on a carpet and doing one of his five daily prayers, and on the side a tea-pot. Salah (also called salat), is one of the Five Pillars in the Islamic faith, and an obligatory religious duty for every Muslim. It is a physical, mental, and spiritual act of worship that is observed five times every day at prescribed times. When they do this, they must face to Mecca, towards the Qiblah. In this ritual, one stands, bows, and prostrates oneself, and concludes sitting on the ground. During each posture, one recites or reads certain verses, phrases, and prayers. On the bottom, the words from the inaugural speech by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari following his swearing-in as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on 29th May, 2015: "I belong to everybody & I belong to nobody". Muhammadu Buhari (born 17 December 1942) is a Nigerian politician currently serving as the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation's head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d'état. 29.06.19 © 2019 Didier Ruef
