Ten years without hero. You came with a plan for leadership which if it failed you will have another plan all in the spirit of fixing the nation. Your 7 point agenda is still fresh in our memory. May Aljannah firdausi be your final abode Ameen. We missed you sir!
At various fora, late Buhari insisted that he is not going to write a book. I believe this is not an ordinary say but a will. Now that he is late, some members of his family are defiling such will by granting interviews about his life intended for book publications. A book which many alleges that it tarnishes the reputation of the late former President.
At this moment, I must give kudos to Yusuf Buhari because there is no any place where his name appears as interviewee in that book. I strongly believed as the only male child, Yusuf must have declined their request, as a mark of respect to his father's view and will even after his death.
Undoubtedly, Yusuf Buhari is a good son of his father.- Muhammad Kona
Earlier this week, I joined the BBC World Service to discuss the recent unfortunate attacks in Nigeria.
I stressed that Nigeria’s problem is not a lack of intelligence or information on security threats, but rather limited capacity to respond - too few personnel, poor mobility and slow reinforcement times.
For Western partners that say they want to help, including the United States, the priority should be to listen to Nigeria about its needs, rather than assuming they know better Nigeria what those needs are.
In the same speech, Nicki Minaj spoke about the targeting of Nigerian Christians and claimed to care, yet she also plugged herself and even laughed. That’s how seriously they take our lives.
If Nnamdi Kanu deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison, then the Ambassador of Peace, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, the Mufti of Nigeria, deserves a national honour from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. His contributions to national stability are undeniable. We have all seen how he engages directly with security challenges right in front of the Army, Police, and other security agencies. Sheikh Gumi has never been arrested or indicted for any terrorism-related offence. He is clean.
65 years since independence we are more divided,more insecure and less hopeful about the future. We have been let down by poor leadership,loss of wholesome values and greed.We can turn Nigeria round if we change leadership selection processes and review our constitution. We can.
Someone should tell the people trying to stoke a religious war in Nigeria that we've passed our "doom" predictions back in 2015.
We are a work in progress, but peace, harmony and development is our focus right now.
