It is gladdening to see elder statesman and seasoned politician, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, the Tafida Adamawa mark 90 years.
I led a delegation of friends and associates to the Mallum Jie Jumaat Mosque, BMT, Gardens Wuse 2, Abuja, where well wishers including Admiral Murtala Nyako, General Buba Marwa and many others, converged to participate in the citations of the Holy Quran and to say prayers for the celebrant.
Undoubtedly, the better part of Bamanga Turkur's years was used for the development of Nigeria's business sector, political governance and public service.
As one of Nigeria's leading entrepreneurs, politician and public servant, the nonagenarian is still an important influence in the growth of the country's economy and democracy.
As the Waziri Adamawa, it has been of immense benefit working with the Tafida and other leaders in advancing peace, unity and the general growth of the Adamawa Emirate and our traditional institutions across the state and the nation.
It is my prayer and that of my entire family that Allah grant Tafida Adamawa, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur more years in good health and impact to humanity. -AA
World Bank says we have over 20 million out-of-school children. That is 10% of our population... that is recruitment for future Boko Haram or whatever form of banditry it will be.

Youths In Agenebode Etsako Burn Down Police Station, Set Fulani Kidnappers/Organ Harvesters Ablaze
Aggrieved youths in Agenebode, Etsako East LGA, Edo state have sacked the police station in their community. The issue began when a bubbling youth of the community was kidnapped recently. After ransom was paid the kidnappers were said to have gone ahead and killed off the young man. The community, resorting to self help, were able to trace the mobile phone of the slain youth (which was still in use by the kidnappers) to a Fulani settlement in the area.
The community apprehended the suspects and handed them over to the police.
However, upon noticing the inaction of the police regarding the case the community youths besieged the station and asked that the suspects be returned to their custody. The police refused to do so and in the ensuing chaos another youth was shot dead by the officers. This led to the burning of the station even as the officers took to their heels. The community retrieved the Fulani suspects and a number of them were slain immediately.
The prime suspect led them to the shallow grave where the kidnapped Agenebode youth was killed and buried. Other mutilated and decomposing bodies were found and the suspect confessed to the fact that he and his group had killed several other people during their stay in the town. The decomposing parts of the slain youth was transported back to the main community.
