I just saw a very traumatising video on Facebook😭
Bandits abducted 150+ people in a village in sokoto, took them to the forest, forced them to dig a very long hole, asked them to line up inside, and then shot everyone de@d.😭
They made them dug up their own graves and k!lled all of them😭💔
This shouldn't even be happening to pigs walahi.
May God bring an end to this💔
Before donating online this Ramadan, look around you. Family, neighbors, relatives may be struggling in silence. Charity is about sincerity, not display. May Allah let us gain true reward this Ramadan.
I realised I was really good at what I do the day Governor @daudalawal_ handed me a situation that looked like a maths problem, a crime thriller, and a comedy sketch all at once — and said, “Go and make sense of this.” 😅
We were supposed to have clean, simple dual sponsorship for WAEC and NECO. Instead, I opened the files and saw: 25,244 WAEC candidates, 26,262 NECO candidates, a mystery 1,000+ candidate gap, 4,700+ people outside school age (including folks old enough to be PTA chairmen💀), schools with 27% match rates (meaning 3 out of 4 “students” vanished when switching exams), and a total government exposure of ₦1.41 billion floating across lists like confetti 🫢
Then NECO didn’t send data. WAEC sent unstructured data. The Ministry didn’t send anything at all. It was like doing a forensic audit with a blindfold on.
But somehow - through cross-matching, analytics, chasing ghost entries, and decoding age brackets that included 40-year-old “students” - the entire picture finally came together.
And that’s when it hit me: when a leader like Governor Dauda Lawal trusts you enough to hand you a forest of confusion and expects you to produce clarity…and you actually do it.
That’s when you realise you’re built for this. Turning crises into insights, noise into data, ₦1.41bn leakage into a roadmap for reform.
That’s the moment I knew I’m really, really good at what I do, and I’m grateful for the trust that reveals it.
Fuel queues are back, subsidy is gone, taxes have increased, and cooking gas is selling for ₦2k/kg
Again, it shall never be well with APC and it supporters. 🙏
What if the key to a healthier planet grazed right under our noses?

Prof. Sanusi Gaya Mohammed Assumes Leadership of CDA as Prof. Jibrin Mohammed Jibrin Bows Out After 12 Remarkable Years
The Centre for Dryland Agriculture (CDA), Bayero University, Kano—one of Africa’s leading Centres of Excellence—marked a significant transition in leadership as Professor Sanusi Gaya Mohammed officially assumed office as the new Director, succeeding Professor Jibrin Mohammed Jibrin, who has served with distinction for the past 12 years.
The formal handing-over ceremony took place on Monday, 30th June 2025, at the CDA complex, symbolizing the seamless continuation of visionary leadership at the Centre. During the event, Prof. Jibrin presented the handing-over notes to Prof. Gaya and called on all staff and stakeholders to extend their full support and cooperation to the incoming Director in order to sustain and enhance the Centre’s mandate.
In his remarks, Prof. Jibrin described the transition document as a strategic guide that reflects the operational ethos, achievements, and future direction of the Centre. He emphasized the importance of unwavering institutional support for the new leadership team, particularly in the post-project phase, as the Africa Centres of Excellence (ACE) initiative concludes. He expressed confidence in the capacity of the incoming Director and his deputies, urging them to prioritize the implementation of the Centre’s sustainability roadmap and elevate CDA’s standing within the continent’s research and development ecosystem.
Taking over the mantle of leadership, Prof. Sanusi Gaya Mohammed paid glowing tribute to his predecessor, describing Prof. Jibrin as a transformative leader whose legacy is deeply embedded in the Centre’s remarkable journey. “The history of CDA cannot be written without a prominent chapter dedicated to Prof. Jibrin. His name is inscribed in gold for building a world-class research institution that has become a model for excellence not just in Nigeria, but across Africa,” Prof. Gaya noted.
He expressed his appreciation for the solid foundation laid by Prof. Jibrin and pledged to consolidate on the gains achieved while steering the Centre into a new phase of impact and innovation. Prof. Gaya appealed to the CDA team—including academic, technical, and administrative staff—for their unwavering cooperation and commitment as he officially resumes office on 1st July 2025.
“This is not just a change in leadership; it is a call to renew our shared purpose. With your continued support, we will collectively build on the legacy left by Prof. Jibrin and position CDA for even greater relevance and sustainability in the years ahead,” he added.
The smooth transition reflects CDA’s commitment to institutional excellence, continuity, and leadership development as it continues its mission to address food security, environmental sustainability, and resilience in dryland regions across Africa.
