THE third (3rd) American president, Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), once said, “The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only object of good government.” He also stated at one time that, “That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.” So, going by these two quotes, I feel encouraged to table some appeal to his excellency the Jigawa state governor, Malam Umar Namadi (FCA), a.k.a. Dan Modi, on some matters that hang on my neck, and he is the only one in the right and better position to pursue them…

“No amount of tricks of the trade will avoid the need to set some sort of priority when allocating one’s time.” — John Harvey Jones (1924), British business executive and author. NIGERIA is a very funny country where the fortunate become the unfortunate and the unfortunate become the fortunate, and Nigeria is the country where whatever you think is impossible becomes possible and the possible becomes impossible. I wonder why someone will labour to build a house, but because of envy, jealousy, and selfish interest or selfish aggrandisement, will attempt or move to destroy it. APC won the gubernatorial election…

“The living are just the dead on vacation.” — Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949), Belgian playwright and poet. LIFE is made up of many days – some for jubilation and celebration, others for grief and remembrance, and still others for leisure and pleasure. Among these, the worst is undoubtedly the day of death. I come from a family of 15 children from my father, with over 150 grandchildren. The eldest child in our family, Khadija Usman, popularly known as Gamandi or Yaata, passed away on Saturday, December 21, 2024, just four (4) days away from governor Namadi’s incident in which we happened…

“Never forget three people in your life: 1. Who put you in difficult times, 2. Who left you in difficult times, and 3. Who helped you in difficult times.” — Unknown author. TODAY is the day, and that day is today, when many people — including yours truly, who is one of the front-runners — wish to see three things about Dr. Sule Lamido (CON) manifest, remain, and continue both during his lifetime and after his eventual passing: 1. The struggle for the liberation of the downtrodden. 2. The survival of democracy, alongside the maintenance of its values and tenets.…

THE month of Rabi’ul Awwal is the third (3rd) month of the Islamic Hijrah calendar. It is also the most significant month in Islamic history, because humanity has been blessed in this month by the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) Before the birth of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) not only the Arabian peninsula, but also the so-called civilized nations of Rome and Persia were drawn into the darkness of ignorance, superstitions, oppression and unrest. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) came with the eternal truth of the religion of Islam. The religion of Islam has three indivisible components…

NIGERIA is a blessed country in both human and natural resources. It is a country where all its sociocultural groups have a reputable and remarkable history. Nigeria, which has the largest black population in the world with over 200 million out of the 700 million, is the giant of Africa and produces a lot of talents in educational aspects, art, music, sport, literature, and even business. Nigeria produced the first wealthy man among the highest-ranking people in the world (Alh. Aliyu Dangote). But on the contrary, with all these attributes and blessings, Nigeria seems or probably became a failure or…
