NIGERIANS MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NIGERIA - ‎Abdulazeez Abdulbasit

Little over a decade now, I have been around, aware and affected directly by the failures of this nation as well as her progress. Needless should I say I am a proud NIGERIAN and have always believed in my country and her citizens. Even during the time I believe is still the darkest moments. (Former president Jonathans administration)

Today, NIGERIA is almost synonymous to CURROPTION that nowadays, when you mention you are Nigerian elsewhere beyond the borders of this country, the image your listener paints is that of a corrupt government official, or a private practitioner that harbor’s whatever stolen from the government coffers or a facilitator involve with these set of people.

Some of our major problems today are:

·        Corruption

·        corruption

·        Corruption

·        Terrorism ( boko haram, militants, avengers, ipob/massob, shi’ite, opc, etc)

·        Orientation and failed family institution

·        Orientation and failed family institution

·        Orientation and failed family institution

In my humble opinion, whatever will cross the mind aside all this will conveniently find a place to cushion into one of all or more or even all that was mentioned.

Multiple corruption mentioned and so is orientation and failed family institution consciously. I believe these are the genesis and nutrients leading us to revelation. Insurgency for instance is no doubt the produce and end game of corruption; if not for corruption and corrupt officials, why will Nigeria be in her present predicament?

NIGERIA a country hugely blessed with all needed to lead the world in all categories, be it military, sports, economy, talents, industry, export etc. owing to the resource the almighty has blessed us with. We’ve got almost everything if not everything; power, material resources, population, youth, money, might; what more can we ask for? But today we lead the world in only negative categories; corruption, greed, mismanagement, to name but a few. We have been efficiently reduced to a followership state, a shameless borrower, fully dependent nation among other things.

Today we still have in play officials that have milked us before now, still milking us and planning on passing the baton to their children to do same after them. This what we must stop even if yesterday is over and now below us. Obviously we may not be able to give back to our fathers what was rubbed off them but we can obviously arrest the present and do the needful. Our father were technically their slaves but we must not be slaves to their children, NEVER! If you still don’t understand this, ask a former governor now senator how he’s planning to have his son be the youngest governor the country has seen. (This is an issue for another time)

The history of insurgency all over the world at every particular time is always from aggrieved citizens that feels they have not been getting anything or little from their government. Hence, arms are carried and lives and properties lost. From my premature sampling of the country’s youth, only one (1) out of a thousand (1000) is employed and sometimes even under employed. All thanks to looters, corrupt officials and citizens that don’t give a rat ass about how things are managed in this country. It’s high time we stood for what’s right. And I am not saying taking violence to their door steps but standing up by means of education, education, education, real civilization, calm and due diligence.

The BOKO HARAM, AVENGERS, IPOB/MASSOB, DECAYING INFRASTRUCTURE, all fall under and within this major problem.

Family is said to be the first learning avenue for a child and one of the most important time for learning. It is a time a child learns basics, background to whatever he’ll look like in the future. Here is a child that is raised in a house with persistent domestic violence, or a house with no or less food to eat or a house that can’t cater for him and he’s forced to the streets to fend for himself. No parental care, love, warmth and no nothing. What do one expect of a child like that when he moves into a peer group of like minds? Possible gangster? Nuisance? Liability? Insurgent, terrorist Etc.

Sometimes all the welfare a child needs maybe available in some other homes but an important ingredient lacking; THE FEAR OF GOD. A child that is not taught to know about his true religion whether a Christian home or a Muslim family, there are codes, rules, regulations that must be followed and taught a child if we must have a safer society. What happened to the then TEN COMMANDMENTS? Though not quiet the best with that but I am pretty sure it includes not to STEAL and so on. Islam also frowns at stealing as under proper Islamic sharia state; attracts a punishment to cut off the hand. The lack of fear of GOD I believe makes our irresponsible citizens today steal, loot, siphon, call it anything; if he knows he’ll burnt in HELL, then why do it?

YOUTHS of today, we own tomorrow if today have been taken from us. Tomorrow is not something they can rub us of, we still have that if we wish to really have it. Our orientation about ISSUES, most especially the ones that affects the nations reputation is our responsibility to take charge and work towards putting things right.

No ALLIEN will fight our fight for us, we must do it ourselves. It’s not beyond us, it’s within us.

PANTAMI’S COSTLY MISCALCULATION DURING EL-RUFAI’S MOTHER’S BURIAL

Politics has its own rules. Timing and perception matter as much as intentions. Those who see it only through a moral or religious lens often misread the dangers, and that is exactly what happened in this case. Recently, at the burial of the mother of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El‑Rufai, a moment meant for grief turned into a political scene. Present there was Uba Sani, a man whose political relationship with El‑Rufai has grown tense in recent times.   Pantami wanted to get the credit for reconciliation and insisted on a public handshake between the two former (according to El-Rufai) friends. From a religious standpoint, one might understand the need for that. In faith traditions, reconciliation is virtuous, and many scholars often encourage believers to mend broken ties. Pantami likely saw the moment through that spiritual frame. He may, in his mind, have been drawing inspiration from a hadith that promotes peace between disputing parties. But politics is a differen...

ON ELRUFA'I THE FAKE MESSIAH - Mohammed Abubakar Usman

 At a gathering, when Maryam Alhanisalam called El-Rufai  "The Iron Man,"  he laughed not out of humility, but because he had just heard the most suitable title for himself. A man who prided himself on ruling with an iron hand, rigid, stubborn, unmoved, unshaken and unquestioning of his own decisions, dismissing critics like they were beneath him and carrying himself like the only one with sense. The only one who knows everything. For eight years, his opinion was the only one that mattered disagreeing with him meant you were an enemy or too ignorant to be taken seriously. I remember in one of our meetings with one of his commissioners, one of the directors attempted to remind me of the way I talk thinking that everyone fears him like God. Remembering our encounters I was so surprised to watch a man who never believed in reconciliation (because, in his mind, he was always right) talking about reconciliatory move on television. Kaduna, a state already battling religious and...

WHO IS WRONG AND WHAT WENT WRONG: (a look into almajiri system). By s.a bawa. Saifuadam@gmail.com

WHO IS WRONG AND WHAT WENT WRONG: (a look into almajiri system). By s.a bawa. Saifuadam@gmail.com Every african has a dream, that very dream to get out of poverty line, but many die too young with their dreams. In nigeria, most talent are bound, it is here that we struggle to gain, million ways of visions yet to tap, every nigerian is battling poverty, even the so-called rich men because we are seeing them busy with court cases on their neck and it is all about MONEY so that they don't get poor. The poor are negleted and forgotten like an old page of an old book in an old isolated library. The reason is only that they are POOR, not forgetting that they were born poor because some greedy people stole their life in a horror moment. Poverty is the poor peoples common friend, they are not bad but yet people rejected the poor. Poor people suffer because GREEDY people consider poverty as a SIN. The gaskiyan magana is ALL of us want to make money, but money b...
