Some people get written off so fast it would make your head spin.

Cucurella arrived at Chelsea and the jokes started almost immediately.

Too slow. Too inconsistent. Not good enough for the big stage.

But here he is... in a Real Madrid kit, hands folded, crown glowing behind him.

That image tells the whole story.

There is a lesson buried in this transfer that has nothing to do with football.

The people who counted him out moved on.

He didn't.

He kept showing up, kept improving, kept playing his game until the biggest club in the world came calling.

That is not luck. That is what happens when you refuse to let other people's opinions write your ending.

The crown does not go to the loudest voice in the room.

It goes to the one who is still standing when the noise dies down.

So General Rabe Abubakar, kidnapped along with his wife some days ago has died in custudy of bandits. May Allah besrow Rahma on him, expose and punish his kidnappers. Our leaders who have failed to protect us should take note: we will have a say on your records in 2027.

State Police would simply become another KASTELEA if we do not stop paying for peace. You can’t build a sustainable security architecture rewarding criminality. Lasting peace comes from enforcing the law, dismantling criminal network & ensuring justice.

After reading epistles of @uchediala about @elrufai , they gave me joy by reaffirming what we, his supporters, know and hold true about him.

Everything will come to pass, and he will come out even stronger. Elrufai is exactly who he thinks he is, man is just built differently.

[baffa @asdangamba]

To mny of us who hve followed his journey over the years, his intellectual depth, boldness in decision making, nd willingness to stand for wat he believes is right, regardless of opposition, are qualities that set him apart.

You can hate him but you can’t question his qualities

[baffa @asdangamba]

Thank you for sharing this insightful piece. It’s always refreshing to read a perspective from someone who has had the opportunity to interact closely with @elrufai and share their personal experience.

‘MY EL-RUFAI STORY’ BY UCHE DIALA (SERIALIZED) - PART 1

For Anyone Who Sincerely Wants To Know The Truth About Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

Introduction

A touching tribute recently penned by someone has caused me to begin to tell a story, which I have always promised to tell someday, but have not done so - 'MY EL-RUFAI STORY'. Consider this a prelude to the full story, which will come someday, God sparing my life.

First, let it be made abundantly clear that I am not standing with, beside and behind the Fulani Muslim, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai because there is anything promised or expected. No! I am doing so simply because he is a good man and a man of honour, courage, and truth - four attributes that I never joke with. Let me also restate that I am fully for accountability, and I am glad that once again, Mallam El-Rufai has willfully submitted himself for accountability. I just do not like malicious and selective accountability and abuse of due process. I will always speak up against that.

Setting The Records Straight

I had never met nor personally interacted with Mallam Nasir El-Rufai until last year's Ramadan (2025), although I have been closely following his trajectory over the years. Which serious minded Nigerian hasn't?

How It All Began

When our erstwhile party betrayed, maligned, and insulted El-Rufai for simply saying that things should be done right by the party, I could not stand the injustice and ungodly conduct. I could neither side with that nor keep quiet like many of my APC compatriots then did. It just was not in my character to do so. So, I spoke out, as I would for any other person, indeed, as I had for many others in the past, including for the current President who now thinks himself a god. The shameful pushback I got for speaking up instead of remorse, rethink, and re-evaluation sealed my decision to dissociate myself from the motly crowd of retrogressive elements, ingrates, hypocrites, sycophants and betrayers.

Eventually, to cut the story short, thus, solely by divine providence, I was privileged to get close to the diminutive, yet all-round imposing personality that is Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai. I have not stopped thanking God for that singular honour and privilege.

Let Me Be Clear

I am not one to be easily impressed, hoodwinked, or bamboozled, but after a two and half hour-long conversation alone with him on a certain night at the Iftar (breaking fast) table, I knew instantly that I had just met a colossus of a man - a giant whose physical height and stature belie his true stature - intellectually and as a human being - simple and unassuming, yet tough and sharp as a concrete nail. The full details of that life changing encounter will be documented someday.

However, I knew instantly that I had just met and interacted with the real deal - a man with a brain and a soul in the right places. A frank to a fault, God fearing and humble, yet no nonsense man. An unapologetically patriotic Nigerian - who only means well for the nation, in addition to being exceptionally intelligent and highly intellectual - one of my turn ons. I left him and drove home that night feeling and thinking to myself, 'this is the man', while praying to God to perfect whatever is His (God's) will for Nigeria using him, if it is His (God's) will.

But That Was Just The Beginning …

@asdangamba @elrufai Thank you.

Indeed it is. He is a wonderful personality.

‘MY EL-RUFAI STORY’ BY UCHE DIALA (SERIALIZED) - PART 2

(For Anyone Who Sincerely Wants To Know The Truth About Mallam Nasir El-Rufai)

I am a Nigerian. Just like most other Nigerians, I had heard things about the man El-Rufai, whom I had just met in person for the first time. I am not one to whom you say, 'it is ten, it is ten', and I just throw it into my pocket without counting. No! If I was going to associate with this man, knowing that once I keyed into any Cause or relationship, I never look back, I needed to do my objective due diligence. So, I went ahead, unknown to him, to independently check him out, as they say.

Just like many other Nigerians, I had equally heard all the viral street talk of El-Rufai being:

A "religious bigot" and an "Islamic extremist" who persecuted Christians worse than Saul in the Bible did.

A "terrorist sympathizer" who, as Governor, imported bandits, paid them to kill, and personally supervised the killing of Southern Kaduna people under his watch.

A "tyrant" who abducted and locked up his enemies and critics without taking them to the police and the court and threw away the keys.

A heartless and "wicked man" who demolished people's properties for fun, even though they did not contravene the master plan.

A "land grabber" who snatched people's land at will without cause and/or compensation and reallocated them to his children.

A man who sacked qualified teachers and replaced them with unqualified ones from his village.

A man who stole all of Kaduna state's money, did not generate any revenue and who borrowed loans yet did not do anything for Kaduna state with the loans - no infrastructure, no social welfare. Nothing.

All these and worse I had heard, but because it is not in my character to swallow whatever is said about someone - anyone (even my enemy) - and to join in maligning and demonizing them without seeking the truth by and for myself, I did not buy or sell any of those, especially as:

I had followed the same El-Rufai from his days at the BPE. A couple of BPE staff were my patients, and we did generally discuss issues then.

I have also been permanently resident in the FCT since 2000. So, I witnessed, first hand, his tenure as Minister of the FCT. In fact, as some say, El-Rufai also "happened to me". Barely three months after I had finished setting up my clinic in Asokoro, it was demolished under El-Rufai as part of the restoration of the Abuja master plan. But instead of hating and demonizing - him for that like many others did - as painful as it was, I commended him for being bold and courageous enough to do the right thing. That property was in the wrong place. When I looked at all that he did in Abuja as Minister, even today, it was and remains over 95% good and positive.

Furthermore, during his tenure as Governor of Kaduna State, I was politically active and a card-carrying member of the APC (the first political party I ever registered with). I was also an ardent Buharist and a long-standing public affairs commentator, so I had my eyes and ears around and on the ground.

I never went to Kaduna to meet with him as Governor - unlike some others - because he did not know me, except when I travelled briefly to or passed through Kaduna, and I saw the excellent and exceptional work he was doing. I equally heard of and saw what he did in Kaduna as testified to in real time by Kaduna State indigenes, including eloquently, by their current Governor.

So, when some people started their political ‘iskanchism’ barely 2 years after he left office as Governor and soon after he was betrayed by the man he helped to come to power, I smelt a rat.

Nevertheless, I dug deep & I discovered - based on independently verified facts - irrefutable evidence that virtually 95% of what have been said about & alleged against him were half-truths & lies - often fantastic, ungodly & fabricated lies.

Let's not forget as Nigerians celebrate Democracy day Today Friday 12th of June,2026. It marks the 116th day of Mallam’s @elrufai illegal detention. No charges. No due process. No trial. No conscience. No humanity.

As they move to celebrate, let's remind them of what they are doing because;

This is not governance, this is vendetta.
This is not law, this is malice.
This is not justice, this is persecution.
This is not oversight, this is hatred.
This is not rivalry, this is envy.
This is not error, this is evil.

Above all, this is betrayal at its peak, the kind Judas would study.

116 days and counting, history is watching, perdition is waiting.
