Mallam Sile is centered around the culture which is most popularly associated with Islam. He is blind and sells tea on the streets. However, due to his blindness, many people try to trick him and either tell him they are too poor to pay for the tea or make other excuses. Despite this, he believes in the good in people and sells them tea or gives it to them for free. As is in Islam, he wants to be kind to those around him and treat everyone well.
