Northern-Nigeria Perspective

 Copied BREAKING🚨 IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER F!RES BACK TO CRIT!CS ON WHY THEY ARE CHARGING $2MILLION D0LLARS FOR A PASS AT STRAIT OF HORMUZ. “Let me be absolutely clear,” the Iranian minister addressing the international community. Countries around the world routinely charge massive fees for critical maritime chokepoints. Egypt, for example, collects between $200,000 and $700,000 per transit through the Suez Canal—with large tankers and container ships often exceeding $1 million. Meanwhile, Panama imposes fees ranging from $100,000 to $450,000 for vessels crossing the Panama Canal, with larger Neopanamax ships paying up to $500,000. In Turkey, transit through the Bosphorus Strait comes with its own costs. Similarly, both Canada and the United States impose fees along the St. Lawrence Seaway. “And yet,” he continued, “Iran has, for decades, refused to charge transit fees through the Strait of Hormuz—keeping it open without cost, despite facing sancti0ns, isolation, and constant crit...

In the current Nigerian "climate," a teacher can no longer afford to wait for a reward in the afterlife. Since death has graciously ignored me for now and failed to give me a lift to that celestial station, I am putting in my claim for my reward right here on Earth. My provisions are exhausted, and I need more than just promises to survive the rest of the journey to the final stop. By the way, as a teacher, I always made it a point to introduce myself properly—writing my name and a brief biography for every new class—so that I would be remembered by my students long after the lessons ended. In my over four decades of teaching, my journey through the stations of Nigerian education has been vast and deeply fulfilling. My Journey Through the Stations (1965 – 2006) 1. 1965 - Gombi Primary School - 280 staff/students. Notable: Fatima Balla (Mrs. Fatima wife Prof. Sa'ad Abubakar).  2. 1968 - GSS Bauchi - Pupil Teacher. Miss Faith Peters (South African), Esai Dangabar 3. 1971–19...

The current state visit of *President Bola Ahmed Tinubu* to the United Kingdom was, by every ceremonial standard, a spectacle of prestige. From the stately reception to the banquet hosted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle, from the polished motorcade to the guard of honour, the pageantry was unmistakable. Accolades were generously dispensed; encomiums flowed with diplomatic grace. On the surface, it was an image of Nigeria elevated and respected. In diplomacy, such appearances carry the weight of symbolic honour.  2. Yet, beneath the glitter of these ceremonies lies a more troubling question: can honour be complete when it is divorced from context? The central flaw of the visit is not in the fact of diplomacy itself, but in its failure to reckon with moral timing - the invisible yet decisive measure of responsible leadership. A state visit may indeed constitute diplomatic honour in the abstract, but politics is never conducted in the abstract; it is judged in the li...

Chiefs are busy people, so a colonial chief finding time to write the history of his own people is unusual, and more remarkable when the history he wrote sheds light on an anarchic period of the nineteenth century about which few testimonies were recorded. The chief’s initial research predated his accession and was augmented over more than three decades as otherdemands allowed and his enthusiasm dictated, a pattern of attention which accounts for theoccasionally recursive character of the finally published text to which episodes were added when there was a moment to do so Later a supplementary volume was indeed added to fulfil the author’s wish on completing the first. Garbosa II, the regnal name of Malam Muhamman Bitemya Sambo, the seventh Gara Donga, was the author in Hausa of two volumes: The History and Customs of the Chamba (Labarun Chambawa da Al’amurransu) and, later, The Family Trees of the Garas Donga (Salsalar Sarakunan Donga), which were completed in 1956 and pu...
