Northern-Nigeria Perspective

Today is exactly one year, one month and eight days of the unfortunate accident that I had the early morning, about 5am, Saturday 31st March 2018 in a hotel in Karim Lamido town of K/Lamido LGÀ in Taraba State. I sustained fracture of the femur head of my right thigh bone. That moment of the accident I thought it was the end of life. The end of a checkered life of a thorough bred public servant who will go unknown, unappreciated, wronged, cheated and humiliated. Even in retirement I always nursed the feeling that some day, someone, the authorities will revisit my travails most of which were documented but few acted on, and restore my dignity and personal loss suffered financially and in ego. I was born in Faren Lai, a village six miles from Jada in Jada LGA (former Trust Territory) of Adamawa State. My father, Malam Bakari (Abubakar) one time the then acting village head of Gambe village, now in Mayo Belwa LGA of Adamawa State, in January 1946. At the tender age of five years I was ma...

Michael Hart, the author of the book "The 100 Most Influential People", it took him 28 years to complete it. He ranked Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) No 1 on the list. ----------------------------- While he was giving a lecture in London, he was booed and interrupted. People were complaining as to why he ranked Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) as No 1? He said: "The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stood in the middle of Makkah in the year 611 and said to the people: 'I am the Prophet of Allah'. Four people believed in him; his BEST FRIEND, his WIFE and two KIDS! Now, even after 1400 years, the number of Muslims has gone over 1.5 billion and still expanding. He could not have been a liar, because a lie will not last 1400 years! nor could you fool 1.5 billion people! Another thing to ponder is that even after all this time, millions of Muslims will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives over one word that would hurt their Prophet". "Is there even one Christian will...

The former Middle School Yola has under gone several mutations in nomenclature.

ANTI-CORRUPTION SUMMIT ORGANIZED BY ADAMAWA STATE GOVERNMENT: MY REACTIONS TO DR. UMAR ARDO'S OBSERVATIONS AND LAMENTATIONS. 'Sorry for the country' finally wrote Dr. Ardo, the Adamawa State born politician, activist who contested the governorship position in Adamawa State sometimes back. A vibrant young man with a broad world view, with a cosmopolitan outlook and a beacon of hope for Adamawa and Nigeria who always present a non ethnically biased views to the disappointment of his kinsmen. I've been following Dr. Ardo's views on Adamawa and indeed Nigeria's socio political happenings. I found him unique and miles away from what his 'people' expect from him. In most cases his views are always on the side of truth and justice. Partisan politics not withstanding, Dr. Ardo's outlooks have always inspired and excited me as his one time teacher in his secondary school days. In spite of the reality that we are not of the same ethnic background; he is the ...

'URGENTLY NEEDED, RESOLUTION OF  THE DEADLY NUMAN FARMER /HERDER CLASHES BY TIMAWUS MATHIAS DAILY TRUST DEC 6, 2017 "I am writing today in shame. All my hopes and entreaties for patience, tolerance and reconciliation in my hometown Numan failed. Numan is where Bachama farmers and Fulani herders have clashed, leaving a deadly trail. The expected Fulani reprisal on the Bachama indeed came and it has been even more bloody and deadly. Lawaru, Dong, Kikon, and Shaforon have been sacked and the body count could rise above 50, and include two Village Chiefs. The armed herdsmen attacked in broad daylight and literally mauled the common folk in their path. This is in reprisal for the earlier raiding of a Fulani camp in Kikon that saw to the shocking killing of women and children, itself a reaction to the previous shooting dead of a farmer and his son in an altercation with a herder. For Numan itself, the cows had all left the grazing fields, hundreds of thousands of them. The ...
