The Gangwari Ganye Chiefdom, HRH Alhaji Umaru Adamu Sanda II, OON, Chancellor Taraba State University, Jalingo, Newari, Sir! Congratulations. I have been to many palaces especially in Northern Nigeria; the revered Palace of the Sultan of Sokoto during my official courtesy call on the then Sultan Muhammad Maccido, 2004 in company of my vice principal and other senior staff of FGC Sokoto. We were led by a former Federal Minister, Alhaji Isa Muhammad, a friend of the School and Confident of the Sultanate then. We held a two hour parley with the Sultan Maccido, touching on wide areas; Adamawa and Sokoto relations, congratulating me on resuming as Principal FGC Sokoto, Education in Northern Nigeria and indeed Nigeria, brief history of Sokoto, his life and times, civil service, public service, as commissioner in Sokoto State and as the Sultan of Sokoto. A very amiable, down to earth, simple, unassuming personality who made you feel at home instantly. I left Sokoto after retiremen...

TINUBU’S THIRD STRAIGHT UNGA ABSENCE: NIGERIA MUST NOT PAY FOR HIS AMERICAN BAGGAGE — ATIKUAtiku Abubakar

-

@atiku A seat was reportedly secured for Bola near United States President Donald Trump at the world’s most important annual diplomatic gathering. Yet, for the third consecutive year, Tinubu refused to occupy it. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has demanded a full explanation from President Tinubu over his repeated absence from the United Nations General Assembly, asking whether the President’s documented history with United States law-enforcement agencies has become a burden on Nigeria’s foreign relations. In a statement issued on Sunday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Mr Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said Tinubu stayed away from the 79th UNGA session in 2024, the 80th in 2025 and now the 81st in 2026, repeatedly sending Vice President Kashim Shettima to stand in for him. He said three consecutive absences could no longer be dismissed as coincidence or routine delegation but constituted a pattern of presidential evasion requiring an honest explanation....

The Presidency has now confirmed that Vice President Kashim Shettima will represent Nigeria at the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York

The Presidency has now confirmed that Vice President Kashim Shettima will represent Nigeria at the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. Meanwhile, President Tinubu is in Paris wining and dining with Macron. That makes it three consecutive UNGA sessions — 2024, 2025 and now 2026 — at which President Bola Tinubu will not personally lead Nigeria's delegation. Tinubu has attended UNGA only once since becoming President on 29 May 2023: the 78th Session in September 2023. Indeed, it is a constitutional responsibility for him to represent Nigeria at the UNGA. But why is the President of Africa's most populous country repeatedly absent from one of the world's most important annual gatherings of heads of state and government? What is he running away from? And the questions become more compelling because Nigerians had earlier been told that President Tinubu was expected to attend this year's UNGA and address the General Assembly on 23 September. It...

Are the Chinese trekking all the way from China with their products on their heads to Nigeria?

Dear Lagos State Government, please locate, arrest and lock up the shops of every single persons that protested against Chinese businesses in Lagos. Let them feel what it takes to buy a Toyota headlamp for N235k from a Nigerian shop, only to discover after making payment that similar product, same company and same quality were sold by the Chinese at just N89k in that same Lagos.  Ordinary phone charger is been sold for N5k to N10k whereasit is sold for just N1k to N1,500k at the Chinese warehouses and retail outlets in Lagos.  They claim it is because of shipping 🚢 costs that made prices higher by them. Are the Chinese trekking all the way from China with their products on their heads to Nigeria? If the locals, make our lives and living extremely difficult because of greed and selfishness, making selling prices skyrocketed creating higer inflation; and the Chinese foreigners are making it better by selling at reasonable prices forcing inflation rate down, then why won't Nig...

MEET BRIGADIER MUSA USMAN, THE YOUNG OFFICER WHO GOVERNED A TERRITORY THAT LATER BECAME SIX NIGERIAN STATES

-
Image
There was a time when one military officer governed a territory so large that, decades later, it would become parts of six different Nigerian states. His name was Musa Usman. Born in Enugu in 1940, Musa Usman rose through the Nigerian military at an extraordinary speed and, at just 27 years old, became the military governor of the newly created North-Eastern State in May 1967. He remained in office until July 1975. But who was this young officer? And why should Nigerians today remember him? FROM A MILITARY FAMILY Musa Usman's story was connected to the history of both the military and Nigeria's complex ethnic heritage. His father, Usman Kakagida, was a Kanuri man of Chadian ancestry who had served in the colonial West African Frontier Force. He was stationed at Ankpa, where he married Musa's mother, an Igala woman. Musa was therefore born into a family whose story itself reflected the interwoven histories of Northern and Southern Nigeria. In 1954, as a teenager,...

Atiku And The Northern Companies: Why Nigeria Cannot Go BackwardsBy Fattykolly Ibn Alimi

-

• Former Vice President of Nigeria  An Arewa Voice Asks: "Where Are The Companies You Collapsed?" A video is trending from the North. Not a politician. Not a party spokesperson. Just an angry Arewa man in a yellow babanriga, speaking directly to camera.  His message was simple and devastating:   "If Nigeria were divided today, poverty would kpai people in the North." And then he asked the question no one in the opposition wants to answer. THE LIST THAT SHAMES A GENERATION  The man didn’t shout slogans. He listed names. Dates. Places. Over 44 companies.   "I'm asking Atiku. I'm asking El-Rufai. I'm asking Obasanjo. Where are those companies?" He went down the list:   - Nigerian Paper Mills, Kwara - Collapsed 2005   - Lafiagi Sugar Company, Kwara - Collapsed 2005   - Nigerian Bottling Company, Kano/Kaduna/Plateau/Borno - Collapsed 2004   - Kaduna Fertilizer Company - Collapsed 2002   - Ariwa Textil...
