Major General Mamman Jiya Vatsa wrote over 19 books during his military career, 8 for adults and 11 for children.

His adult poetry collections include Verses for Nigerian State Capitals, Libation and Other Poems, Ufuoma and Other Poems, Reflections on Warminster, Death for Apartheid, Tori for Geti Bow Leg and Other Pidgin Poems, The Poetry of Abuja, Reach for the Skies, and Arise, Arise My Country.

For children he authored Children's Rhymes, Stinger the Scorpion, Koyo da Hoto and Bikin Suna, both cultural picture books in Hausa. He also edited Voices from the Trench, an anthology of poems by Nigerian soldiers.

While in prison awaiting a treason trial, he kept a secret detention diary on toilet rolls and handkerchiefs and wrote poems like "I'm the Jailed Man" and "Saturday at Ikok" which were smuggled out of Kirikiri Prison.

After being convicted and tried for treason, Vatsa was executed on March 5, 1986, by firing squad. With him were: Lt. Col. Musa Bityong, Lt. Col. Michael Iyorshe, Lt. Col. Christian A. Oche, Maj. Daniel I. Bamidele, Commander A.A. Ogwiji, Wing Commander B.E.N. Ekele, Wing Commander Adamu C. Sakaba, Squadron Leader Martin Olufolorunsho Luther and Squadron Leader A. Ahura.

Femi Falana stated that Ali Modu Sheriff, the former governor of Borno State, founded Boko Haram. He was arrested in Cameroon over his links to the group, but the Nigerian government stepped in and negotiated his release. Falana challenged Sheriff to sue him if the claims are untrue.

I’m fully aligned with that theory that African teams are being served alcohol during the hydration break. Especially the one in the 70th minute.

Absolutely not, it takes more than athletic ability to dominate, you take our best athletes & put them in the favelas or European infrastructure from 4 years old we would be able to compete & look like we belong, dominate is a bit far fetched.

I watched with disappointment the recent interview granted by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to Channels Television on Monday.

After a prolonged absence from public discourse, one would have expected that time away might have sharpened Senator Sheriff’s judgment. Regrettably, that does not appear to be the case.

In the interview, the former governor claimed that Peter Obi cannot command sizeable support in Northern Nigeria. It is curious that he has appointed himself spokesperson for the Northern masses. For the record, in his first outing on the presidential ballot, Mr. Obi secured approximately 2.8 million votes in the region — a remarkable achievement that cannot be dismissed lightly.

Given the current national hardships, the widespread consensus on the failure of the APC administration, and the addition of a strong Northern figure to the ticket who previously garnered 1.45 million votes in the region, the OK ticket remains a formidable force in Northern politics.

Even more surprising was Senator Sheriff’s assertion that the people of Kano would not vote for Mr. Obi. Let me state clearly: the good people of Kano are neither bigoted nor xenophobic. They have consistently demonstrated strong trust in the Kwankwasiyya movement and will support any credible ticket presented under its banner.

I respectfully advise Senator Sheriff that, in future national television appearances, he would do better to speak to the serious insecurity and humanitarian challenges facing his home state, rather than making divisive and poorly considered remarks.

The OK ticket currently represents the best opportunity for Nigerians to reset the country and place it on a path of competence, unity, and progress. - RMK
