Legacy of the Servant Leader: H.E. Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, 16 Years On
Today marks 16 years since our nation lost a dear hero, an icon of integrity, a selfless patriot, and a man I was privileged to call not just my boss, but my brother and worthy partner in service.
As I reflect on the passing of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, I am reminded of the shared passion we both held for a Nigeria where justice is not a slogan, but a lived reality for every citizen.
Our partnership was anchored on a common vision: to build an inclusive, united, and just nation. Yar’Adua was a man of quiet but profound conviction who believed that the strength of a country is measured by its commitment to the rule of law and the sanctity of the ballot.
He did not just lead; he served with a humility that is rare in the corridors of power, often putting national stability above personal or political gain.
His record in peace-building stands as an enduring legacy. He understood that true nation-building requires the courage to admit flaws and the sincerity to fix them.
For leaders, the life of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua serves as an enduring lesson. His example teaches us that leadership is a sacred trust, and that progress is only sustainable when it is rooted in transparency, accountability, and a genuine love for the people.
Sixteen years later, his strides continue to testify for him. As we remember this "Gentleman President," let us rededicate ourselves to the worthy causes he pursued with such passion.
I pray that Almighty Allah (SWT) continues to grant him eternal rest in Al-Jannah Firdaus.

"To fill 50 litres of a Corolla car during President Obasanjo’s regime cost ₦3,750. During Yar’Adua’s time, it became ₦3,250. During Goodluck Jonathan’s time, it was ₦4,350. During Buhari’s regime, it was ₦11,900. Now under the current President Tinubu’s regime, to fill 50 litres of a Corolla car is now ₦61,350, and you tell me this man is the hope Nigerians should have for a better future? How d√mb can some of you be?"

Tunde's achievements:
1. He has been absent in all international chess tournament.
2. He is NOT a grandmaster.
3. He never produced a student or a protege that competed at the national or at the global level.
4. He is not listed as one of the top 300 best chess players in Africa.
5. He also is not listed as one of the top 2000 best chess players in the world.
6. He just rose on the backs and glories of homeless kids in the slums of Lagos while wearing well trimmed agbada while claiming to be apolitical.
7. The so called "first Nigerian to..." was absent in the list of Chess Grandmasters from Africa recently.
I just had to drop this here.
@instablog9ja If the government does not do something about this kidnapping and insecurities ravaging the country now, the next generation of youth will take kidnapping as a lucrative business. Criminalize the paying of ransom, and the kidnappers should be executed immediately if caught.
I am back again my dear INEC 😂
Your point 2 on screenshot one says and I quote “Timestamp analysis shows the alleged 2026 reply,
'Victory is sure', was posted 13 minutes before the original post by @dayoisreal. This is physically impossible on any digital platform”(screenshot attached) 😂
LEMME PROVE THAT TO YOU AND DESTROY YOUR “Forensic Claim number 2”
Well, your “forensic experts” didn’t tell you that @dayoisrael made the post on 18/03/2023 at 16:02, @joashamupitan commented at 16:05(screenshot 2 attached)
At 16:18, @dayoisrael edited the tweet and added the following words “Glory be to God” to his initial tweet at 16:02, which ended with the following “Never happened before, NEVER. (Screenshot 3 shows edit history”
You can take a look at @dayoisrael’s original tweet at 16:02 in screenshot 4

@SoEdunOkanESita Injustice to one is injustice to all. An innocent life is at stake here. If you can help please do if you can't don't justify the injustice being melted on her sister with her post
@SoEdunOkanESita Sorry about your sister I hope and wish above all things that she make it back home safely. Even if you are batified that does not justify what ever predicament your sister is currently in.
