THE FRAME

Recently,  the world over controversies that ensuing on the Almajiri Tsangaya Schools, the life and struggles of Almajiri and the recent debate on if the system should be scrap or retain is taking a hot direction. From the society where the said almajiri reside to the government that neglected to take responsibility to make life better to all. Almajiri system has been the centre of debate and will continue to be for long, because nobody has a solid suggestions  to understand the upgrades needed in order to integrate the Schools and make it acceptable in today's settings years after the system was the only source of acquiring knowledge. Contrary to the notions today, where everyone is not offering right solution rather than for a scrapment of the system. Almajiranci is a system of Islamic education practiced in northern Nigeria mostly though there are traces of Almajirci pupils in many countries but the set up differs in perspective  and it is also the name for a young boy...

Politics they said is a game of numbers,  one with the majority is likely to emerge as the favoured of the people. Undoubtedly,  the era at which we yearn to gain support for our dreams and ambition could equally be our decorum.  Politics as a game of numbers pay to those that pursue a decent route to accomplish it, I believe Sardauna Malabu is among the best few that accomplished this route and achieve a successful journey in the heart of this game, a page has been established to emboldened the best price of life an accomplishment to the millions of youth and groups, a proud example of hard work to success. Barrister Aliyu Wakili Boya,  Sarkin Matasa Adamawa, Sardauna Malabu is in a pinnacle of tribune that any emerging brainy will aspire to have reached while slopping to success,  Boya eventually became a rallying point and alter worthy of emulation to the millions of youth.

After reading the book, "From third world to First" one of the questions I asked myself was: how did Singapore succeed? The answer to the question above is the ten lessons I will be discussing below. Lesson # 1: Selflessness and Dedication to the people I believe very strongly that unlike Nigeria, Singapore was blessed with good founding fathers, such as Lee Kuan Yew, S. Rajaratnam, and Goh Keng Swee. These trios were amazingly wonderful men who dedicated their lives for the development of Singapore. According to LKY in the book, these men were amazingly incredible. They were all very brilliant. They were totally dedicated to improving the lives of Singaporeans. This trio were good learners. For example, Goh Keng Swee learned from the Meiji reformers in Japan. Hence, they formulated policies which benefited Singaporeans. It has also been blessed with good founding fathers, such as Xanana Gusmão, Mari Alkatiri, and Jose Ramos Horta. If Nigeria had men like ...

Any deficiency of elements or resources that are needed or desired, or that constitute richness; as, poverty of soil; poverty of the blood; poverty of ideas. The above is the definition of poverty, universally acknowledged and it outlined all that is need to understand the impoverishment of our lives. The rate of political corruption in Nigeria is progressively increasing with an upsurge in the number of cases where apparatus of government has become an instrument for the enrichment of members of political elites. From pre-independence era to date, political corruption and its attendant problems in forms of vote buying, election rigging and manipulation, outright embezzlement by politicians have negatively affected the lives of Nigerians. This has led to increased political apathy and distrust in the country’s fledging democratic ideals. In vi...

In 2005, Obasanjo wished to convene a National Conference and there was much talk about restructuring.  Jideofor Adibe, publisher of the London-based The African Renaissance,now a columnist with the Daily Trust Newspaper requested me to submit an input for publication in the journal. He gave me the contribution of Prof. Ibiyinka Solarin, a Nigeria living and teaching in the University of Texas, to review for that purpose. It seems nothing has changed for over a decade now. I intend to share the essay with you on these pages as it appeared in the African Renansance. It was originally titled,  Re: Nigeria: Towards A Better Union. Re: Nigeria: Towards a Better Union Many a times, historians, analysts and system thinkers tend to forget the need to locate the history of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the history of the world when it comes to analysing the nature of the socio-political crisis   bedevilling the nation. They overlook the fact that it is always what hap...

On May 30, 1967, following a chain of events in Nigeria, and following weeks of serious consultations between Ojukwu who was the Military Governor of the then Eastern Region and a cross section of the people, Ojukwu made that historic announcement which proclaimed the sovereign state of Biafra. The day he made that proclamation, the hall at Enugu was filled to capacity. The finest brains from this part of the country were there. Leaders of thought, Traditional Rulers, soldiers, members of the academia, etc. In his opening speech that day, Ojukwu said... "YOU, THE PEOPLE OF EASTERN NIGERIA...
