Here is Kofa's full birthday message to his son:

"Imaan,

Happy birthday son. Ten years ago, a day like this, you made me a father. I was a young man, but looking back, I'm very proud of that.

Son, that's a decade! Imagine that! A decade. It's your decade. So I have a few things to say to you.

Things have changed since then. This life has become tough over the years. Very tough. I don't know how things will be when you get to my age. I don't know.

But, you are a man. And that means you have to man up. But even as you man up, you have to remember that we gather all our strength from God. Pray, as I pray for you every day.

You also need to know that it's not going to be easy. There are so many ups and downs in life. It's so easy to to give up. But don't. Always put your trust in God. Things just have a way of working out. But only if you put your effort to it.

I have a million things to say to you son, but I don't have all the space to do so.

So, here is the thing. I will not at any point let you go through what I went through when growing up. But, promise me not to do the things that I did when I was growing up, and as an adult.

One day, you will have to take care of your siblings son, when I will not be there. That's when the world world will judge you.

Happy birthday again son. Looking forward to another decade."
