SHEIKH MUHAMMAD GIBRIMA'S BIRTH AND CHILDHOOD

Birth: Wednesday 19th February 1902 (Muharram 1323 A.H.)

Household: Girazu Goni

Father & Mother: Muhammad Ganim & Fadimatu

Tribe: Manga (a dialect in Kanuri language)


THE OBSERVATIONS DURING HIS BIRTH

The birth of this noble child had a tremendous and different situation.
The mother was extremely healthier than she had been in all her previous deliverances.
A new light was sent in as they harvested more than ever before that year.
Infact seven days after, the child was named Muhammad.


MEANING OF THE NAME "GIBRIMA"
His first name is Muhammad.

The name Gibrima was attached to him, due to the nature of the era he came to the world.

It was in the middle of rainy season of that year as confirmed from a source, "Karangiya" (prickly bur-grass) sprouted out in excess especially in cultivated land.

As a result of that unusual development, the society he belonged nicknamed him "Gibrima", meaning "Child of Karangiya (prickly bur-grass)".

The word Gibrima in Manga tribe means Karangiya (in hausa language), i.e. Prickly Bur-grass.

Since then, the child that would later appear an authority continued to apply this name as given to him by well-wishers and relatives.
