  Sa’adu Abubakar Gambe (B. Sc, PGDE:) I was born in January 1946 in the spring (kodde saduje) in Farang Rai, then an anguwan (ward) in Jada District of the former Trust Territory.  My father, Malam Bakari, (Abubakar) was born about two and a half decade earlier in Gambe, a Chiefdom (Raiders and Refugees: History of Chamba a 1750-1950 by R. Fardon pp151). His father, Gangdaken was the twelve Chief of Gambe. My father left Gambe at the age of twelve years after the death of their father, GANGDAKEN. He left his birthplace to join his senior sister who was married to a faraway Fulani Ardo in a faraway Kugama, a Fulani settlement before Mayo Belwa now the district and the local government headquarters was established. Before my father moved to his sister in Kugama, he along with his other siblings were assigned to their uncles for proper upbringing. But as was the custom, assigned children were usually maltreated and even sometimes sold into slavery as a personal property. Sensing th

The list of some of the distinguished alumni of the school from 1920 to date is herewith attached. The iconic school clocked one hundred years on 1st January, 2020.

Engineer Hassan Suleiman's post is worth a review   Image 1&2: Screenshots of Engr Hassan’s post On the 6th of March 2022, on the Platform TYD Old Boys, Engr. Hassan Noted: That there was no need for TYD members to worry, as the President of TYD, Admiral Murtala Nyako has already suggested June as the period for the centenary celebration. One hundred years Celebration requires due diligence. He said the TYD President, Admiral Murtala Nyako has a lot of contributions to make to the college. Hassan commended the LOC for the achievements made, by particularly, the Alumni members who contributed by picking lots for the facelift of the school. However, he said somethings must be done soonest to arrest the mismanagement of the school by the current school authorities. He said one could see how the infrastructure of the school are being vandalized; window glasses broken, stolen and cooking in the hostels (dormitories). As the school is being renovated at the same time it is being vand

TIDDO YO DADDO NATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION CENTENARY CELEBRATION OF GMMC YOLA: THE UNFORSEEN HAPPENED. THE DEFERMENT TO March/April, 2022. The attention of the AD-HOC LOC was drawn to serious technical problems which nacessitate the deferment of the December  20th to 22nd, 2021 date fixed by the Congress. This did not come as a surprise as Adhoc LOC found itself face to face with the realities of phase 2 different from phase 1 where endowed alumni members responded beyond expectations to our calls to upgrade the school facilities hitherto in ruins, to give the 100 year old iconic school a facelift in line with its centenary Celebrations.  While we were on phase one, Adhoc LOC was very concious of time and drew attention of our Endowed alumni to collaborate, cooperate, sponsor events, donate funds, and avail their expertise from time to time for the phase two finals, but feeble attention was given to it. Adhoc LOC even suggested membership levies or membership dues to be paid to augment

 TIDDO YO DADDO ROAD TO THE FINAL CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS. SECOND BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY OF THE ADHOC COMMITTEE FOR THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION, TYD ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, GMMC YOLA ON 16TH NOVEMBER 2021. Behold! The second birthday anniversary of the Adhoc Committee, a creation of the Congress of the TYD National Alumni Association of the great school, General Murtala Muhammad College, GMMC Yola comes up on Tuesday the 16th of November, 2021. Like the twinkle of the eyes, two years has rolled by stealthly,  barely noticed. Even though with flurry of Adhoc Committee's activities, strategies and planning to beat the Centenary year Celebration timelines. A near miraculous or impossible assignment to achieve, going by standards set for preparations for such celebration in other climes. An example I often refer to was the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Federal Government College Sokoto. Alumni Association members of the FGCS started preparations for their 50 years' Golden Jubilee celebr

Forwarded  AGITATORS FOR BIAFRA ARE HOLDING THE WRONG END OF THE STICK Agitators for Biafara are not well schooled in the art of struggle for freedom. How can you inflict economic pains to those you intend to liberate. You tried violence in the past and it failed. Go learn about non violent method from Mahatma Ghadi, Martin Luther ( JR) which worked very well for them. Mahatma Ghadi secured independence for India, while that of Martin Luther, it relatively ended racial discrimination.  Nelson Mandela tried guerrilla war, it didn’t work. In the end he was imprisoned. Back from prison, he deplored new strategies. One he engaged the apartheid regime in dialogue which won blacks some rights. Secondly he put sustained pressure on international community to persuade their ally-  the apartheid regime to end the obnoxious system. Thirdly he worked on himself to be moderate, a none communist and somebody who will not send the whites parking like Zimbabwe by promising not to dispossessed whites
