My name is Aminu Chindo
In 2023, we won the HoR election in Katsina Central through the will of the people of Katsina.
Following an appalling court ruling, that mandate was taken away.
Today, I'm back stronger and more confident to contest under the ADC.
The mission continues.
"There is a local government here in Katsina State that has a budget of 300 Million Naira this year for Bandits.
The government uses local Government funds to pay Bandits"
-Dr. Mustapha Inuwa
Honourable Minister, when you go for the next FEC meeting, please tell your colleagues that the economic situation in the country is still hard. That meals are hard to come by. That transportation is still a challenge. Families are struggling to keep their bodies and souls together. Tell those in charge of security that we've noticed that they're up now and doing and we support them, and we want them to do more.
- ASUU President, Professor Chris Piwuna, tells Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa
It’s painful to watch how Northern leaders continue to neglect the very youths who hold the key to our future.
In Katsina State, Governor @dikko_radda faces growing criticism for prioritizing dinners with musicians and praise-singers over addressing real issues of education, insecurity, infrastructure, & youth welfare.
Students of Umaru Musa Yar’adua University (UMYU), who have been on strike, recently sought dialogue with the State Speaker to discuss their grievances. Shockingly, they were denied audience and reportedly detained for nine hours.
What message does this send to our young people? That their voices don’t matter? That entertainers deserve more respect in Government House than students fighting for their right to learn?
The truth is painful: there is zero progress in education, zero accountability, and zero empathy. Northern Nigeria is bleeding from the neglect of its youth & the silence of our elders makes it worse.
To Governor Dikko Radda and all leaders in the North: the youth are not your opponents; they are your responsibility. Listen to them. Empower them. Education is not a privilege, it’s a right & a promise you must keep.
History will remember those who stood for the future, and those who stood by in silence.
Professor Sani Lawan Malumfashi Has this to say to all average Nigerians (sic: those outside the corridor of power where stealing happens):
As a Nigerian, you should know that you are on your own. You're your own caretaker. Do not for once think that the govt cares. This simple if you consider that you literally provide everything for yourself: you drill your borehole if you want water. You provide yourself electricity by installing solsr systems or generators. If you want good health care, you go to private hospital and pay. If you want good education for your wards, you take them to private schools as well.
Yet, you pay taxes. You literally benefit nothing from the govt. Instead, it is the govt that benefits from you. We fund the govt and the officials with our taxes.
Therefore, under this hardship of life, as a Nigerian, this is what I suggest you do:
1. Be your own caretaker.
2. Anything that's not a necessity in life, let it slide. The time for excessive spending & enjoyment has been snatched away. This is a time of survival. If you are a fleet of cars, reduce them to one. The number of air conditioners in your house, reduce them or put them off, on your fan. Shawarma, chocolates, ice creams the kids consume, reduce them. Tap the kids on their shoulders. Tell them the reality of today. English breakfast might not be affordable anymore, return to the traditional ones you can afford. If you have beef for protein in your meal fine, if not, add some beans into the soup. It is another source of protein. (Sic: because egg isn't for average civil servants now).
3. Your health is the most important thing you have. Try as much as you can to avoid going to the hospital. Work hard for your health and pray for good health. The hospitals are in terrible state. You might go with headache and return home with an infection or bigger sickness.
As a Nigerian, you're your president. You are your teacher. You are your governor. You're your local govt chairman. You're your security. You're all on your own.
Forget anything and focus on your well-being. Own your own life.
Again, avoid anything that will put you at loggerheads with the govt. Because if you do, the moment the power decides to kidnap you (arrest you); remember your family depend on you to feed. When you're away, you're only putting them in a more serious situation.
Anyone who is stepping out of their homes should do so prepared. Prepare for the unimaginable. Anything can happen to you. Rely more on God. Present to Him your problems. (Sic: report every wicked leader to God. Only Him can deal with the situation).
