Lol. well done on the article as well. you are a positive influence for these fighting warriors. keep up the good work in law, look forward to the movie”

“Hey Bobby B,
Great Story, you deserve all the succes in the world, as you continued to battle against all odds. I was there from the time you spent sleeping in cars, to washing potatoes, selling veg as Bobbys fruit and Veg, Sunday markets, etc. etc. You never stopped believing, Your self belief, your faith in Allah, your determination and the will to succeed has got you to where you are today.
The other great thing, you have not changed a bit, the same old Bobs and we love you for this. Good luck Yakub. Your story should inspire others to follow their dreams and carry on when the going gets tough.”

“I can't believe it, i was looking for a solicitor when Yaqub came up, it's great to read the comments about Yaqub as i thought he was just a fighting coach. I've watched Yaqub train fighters at 6.30 in the morning at Clapham Junction and these guys look the business and are totally disciplined by Yaqub. Yaqub, you're a very polite person and i would like to wish you the best of luck in whatever you do in future.”

“On behalf of all the young people at the Madani Youth Organisation we would like to congratulate Yaqub on his success. Yaqub's story is an inspiration to everyone especially the young people from the BME community and inparticular the Muslim community that through continued hardwork, self-belief and dedication you can achieve your dreams. We would like to thank you for coming and visiting our youth group and the continued support you show encouraging and motivating young people to believe in themselves and their dreams. Also thank you for helping with the Boxing session.
Continue the good work, and good luck with the film.”

“I met Yaqub at a legal course last year. He was an inspiration.

From convict to top british lawyer. Well done Yaqub you have worked hard keep it up.

You are a true inspiration especially to the British Asians.”

“Well done Yaqub and good luck for the future, not that you will need it!”

“Brilliant, i met yaqub whilst working on the terror liquid plot in 2009 at woolwich CC. i was only there for a few weeks working for another company. And i have to say that Yaqub was the most genuine legal representative there. And i thank God that an innocent man was spared due to the intervention of Yaqub. Thankfully the client listened to Yaqub over his legal teams, otherwise an innocent man would have ended up in jail. I'm so proud of you Yaqub!”

“Yacub¿s life journey is a story of great proportion and an inspiration to millions of Brothers and Sisters who believe their achievements are limited, to those who may feel held back, to those who need testimony of what you can accomplish simply by applying yourself.



Primary growing up in a society where your story would be stereotypically predestined by society then having the gift to not only break from that stereotyping but also achieve true greatness is a sign of magnanimous power, power in yourself, power in faith.



An early life paved with opportunities of misguidance and stereotyping will evidently lead to the path of destruction, but for the righteous, the path of construction.



Yacub my friend you are truly a righteous man with Allah (God) on his side, I celebrate you and your future my friend.”

“Yaqub made 1 mistake and "paid" for this. We are all lucky he has the guts and personal qualities to turn a very negative experience into something positive that is benefiting everyone! Well done Yaqub and please keep up the great work you are doing and I hope your own experiences will inspire people!”

“A totally inspirational story!”
