This kind of emotional conclusion is exactly one of the reasons why even well-intentioned governments fail woefully at making lasting impact in Northern Nigeria. While Bello Galadanchi is a notable activist and content creator adept at generating public traction, his kind gesture of school renovation does not demonstrate competence in education reform at scale.
The aesthetic of a school is not a sufficient condition for quality education. If you are objective enough, you should know that classroom renovation, despite its visual appeal, is not the best way to improve the quality of learning. I can point to a number of schools built or renovated to similar standards by governments at different tiers in Nigeria, but has that ever translated into a real turnaround in the education sector? Never. Because one dilapidated school proves nothing about systemic failure any more than one renovated school proves systemic success.
UBEC would only perform better if several credentials beyond public visibility are considered in choosing who governs it. There are several Nigeria-based, some internationally educated, education development practitioners with deeper field experience, macro-level understanding, informed passion, non-partisanship, and the integrity that could genuinely turn around basic education in Nigeria. Even @BelloGaladanchi might be able to attest to that.
Mallam Nasiru @elrufai is the only individual politician in Nigeria that has a pure heart! No any politician will tell you this kind of truth 😍
We are proud of you Mallam!

Something still marvels me about the Quran to this day. I wonder how a book could be so audacious.
Imagine opening a book, and the first line you hit is:
ذلك الكتاب لا ريب فيه
"This is the Book about which there is no doubt."
We all know that when a human writes, we almost always start with an apology in the preface. We say we tried our best, but any mistakes are ours.
The Quran does the exact opposite of that. It did not offer a disclaimer. It offered a finality. It says: there is no mistake, nor doubt about my authenticity. Anything you read and find in me, rest assured, it is nothing but the truth.
The shutdown of the possibility of error before a single story is even told is the ultimate audacious power move.
For the past 1440+ years since the Quran was sent down, NO ONE has been able to find a mistake. They’ve only been running in circles.
This is what gives me audacity. It gives me confidence in my ability to recite the Quran without fear anywhere.
May the Almighty make you and me from the people of the Quran 🙏👏🏿
