Image
In the last part of this write up, I tried objectively to justify some endeavours by Honourable Musa Azare as technocrat as well as a politician, his struggles to make things better while on the mantle of leadership in Katagum Local Government.  This part will be a free fall write up, I will delve into the altruism, activism and fight against injustice which I personally know, it's a testimonial account of what I know about Honourable Musa Azare.  Altruism plays a vital role in fostering a compassionate and supportive society. It strengthens social bonds, promotes cooperation, and creates a sense of community. The altruistic nature of Malam Musa Azare is what draws my relationship with him back in the days, connecting on the Zuckerberg platform, in promoting our views (political, economic and social views) to paved ways for development of our dear State.  Altruism is a powerful force for good that can make a significant difference in the lives of others.

THE SANDWICH OF HATRED

Image
Stories are written differently, depending on the narrative that is associated with the tales.  Impressions are sometimes carriers of great stories, a behind the screen oratory that shapes the future of the onlooker or listener.  Why banditry has roots in the Northwest? Something that slowly started in Zamfara State decades ago as a result of many mistakes that resisted reconciliations, Injustice, and above all corruption and bad leadership. Castle rustling, farmers/herders clashes that resulted into many lost of lives, the intrusive attitude of some Pula people especially those traversing from the neighbouring counties of Niger Republic, Mali, Chad and Burkina Faso, those Peul (fulani NBororo) into Nigeria contributed much into to this unrest and wanton indiscriminate killings happening today in the North West Nigeria.  There is need to avoid repeating historical fallacies and mistakes, having read the past we must use it to furnish the present.  It's a h...

KIDNAPPING AREWA

Image
By Tahir Ibrahim Tahir (Talban Bauchi) In what was a thinly veiled move at vanquishing arewa, Islamic extremism engulfed the entire North Eastern part of the country under the guise of Boko Haram and Iswap, waging the most deadly war Nigeria has ever witnessed, successfully annihilating thousands of lives in the region, defying all military and non military approaches to the war. No pogrom in the entirety of Africa, has seen to the massacre of lives and destruction of villages and property, the way Boko Haram and Iswap have done. This spread vociferously to the North West as banditry and kidnapping, practically turning arewa into a war zone. The audacity, deftness and precision of the terrorists continues to overwhelm the country’s security architecture, despite the sophistication of the Nigeria Airforce, the equipping of the Nigerian Army with fighter-aircrafts, and the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The first few months of this administration saw to some disquiet in the camps and o...

Dr. IBRAHIM TAHIR PhD (Cantab): 14 YEARS OF AN IRREPLACEABLE LOSS, AND AN UNFILLABLE VACUUM

Image
By   Tahir Ibrahim Tahir  (Talban Bauchi) In the 2007 former President Olusegun Obasanjo administration's constitutional conference, which was generally perceived as a thinly veiled attempt at a third term, Dr. Ibrahim Tahir Talban Bauchi late, was one of the delegates who vehemently stood against that agenda, and prevented a monarchical style of governance, where a dictator, under whatever pseudo-nomenclature, would hold onto power endlessly, till thy kingdom come.  That type of phenomenon has continued to haunt our democracy where those exiting power, indulge in a primitive attempt at governance from the sidelines, which has almost always derailed government policy and implementation. Dr. Tahir represented the Islamic Caliphate, as a delegate from the Sultanate, as his name was conspicuously missing from the delegates from Bauchi State. Dr Tahir's albatross was his intellect, oratory and aura that was enviable and intimidating. Abdullahi Yelwa, a journalist ...
