Once in the limelight you must constantly renew it by adapting and varying your method of courting attention. If you don’t, the public will grow tired, will take you for granted, and will move on to a newer star.
The game requires constant vigilance and creativity.
When choosing people to work and associate with, do not be mesmerized by their reputation or taken in by the surface image they try to project.
Instead, train yourself to look deep within them, to their past actions, to see their character.
We are prone to repeat the same decisions and methods of dealing with problems. There is a pattern to our life, visible in our mistakes and failures.
But there is a different way of looking at this concept: it is not spirits or gods that control us but rather our character.
The brain is designed to learn through constant repetition and active, hands-on involvement.
Through such practice and persistence, any skill can be mastered.
The most competent politician in Northern Nigeria.
If you want to argue, come with your quadrupled IGR to the table before we delve into infrastruce, education, and healthcare!
Do not become so focused on what you are still chasing that you forget to appreciate what you already have.
Family, health, peace, friendship, faith and another day of life are blessings too.
Gratitude and ambition can live in the same heart.
"I was only sent to perfect good character," the Prophet (peace be upon him) said of his whole mission (authenticated by Al-Albani).
Not to build an empire. Not to win wars. How human beings treat one another was, in his own words, the point of all of it.
Never assume that the person you are dealing with is weaker or less important than you are.
If you want to turn people down, it is best to do so politely and respectfully, even if you feel their request is impudent or their offer ridiculous.
Update VIII: Hayin Banki Ward. In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful. We have continued the ongoing Primary Healthcare Support Initiative with the delivery of 2,000 syringes and other essential medical supplies to the Primary Health Care Centre in Hayin Banki Ward. The supplies will be made available at no cost to residents of the ward, regardless of ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.
The value of an intervention is not always measured by its size. For a primary healthcare centre, having essential consumables readily available can mean fewer delays, better support for healthcare workers and one less cost for thousands of families seeking care.
This latest intervention builds on the support already provided to PHCs in several wards across Kaduna North. Our objective remains consistent: practical support that reaches thousands of lives where they need it most.
We are grateful to all those who continue to partner with us in strengthening community healthcare. In Shaa Allah, we will keep going despite the distractions of the electoral season.

This Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s reply to Daniel Bwala.
“Good morning, Daniel Bwala. I was cabinet minster 22 years ago, and was clear to Asiwaju that I was not interested in any position. The pathetic manner all of you latter-day converts to the Tinubu camp make an issue of something that I never wanted in the first place a reflection of the level of your moral flexibility.
I am only responding to you because I still think you are a decent person who may need a job, and not in the class of Wendell Simlin and that Kaduna pretender that our voters retired in 2019 - these clowns are political mercenaries that receive a humongous monthly stipend from the security vote to defend everything the Asiwaju government does or fails to do, no matter how indefensible it may be.
Enjoy your special adviser position, my brother, but remember that allegiance to God and country comes first in human scale of accountability, before any person or authority.”
