If I were given the authority of Ahmadu Bello over Northern Nigeria today, I would not spend my first week preaching unity. I would implement this 20-point plan, which I believe can transform Northern Nigeria into a superpower.

My doctrine would be simple:

The North must stop being a geography of potential and become a machinery of production.

That is what Sardauna understood in his own time. He did not merely talk about northern pride. He built institutions: development corporations, banks, schools, media houses, industries, and administrative pipelines.

If I were Sardauna today, I would follow this exact 20-point action plan to build the second machinery of the North.

LATE. DR. IBRAHIM TAHIR 1938 - 2009

REMEMBERING A VISIONARY SELFLESS LEADER & TECHNOCRAT LATE. TALBAN BAUCHI DR. IBRAHIM TAHIR IN SUMMARY!

Late. Dr. Ibrahim Tahir (Talban Bauchi) was one of Nigeria’s most distinguished intellectuals, statesmen, and public thinkers whose life was devoted to scholarship, national development, public service, and the preservation of northern Nigerian cultural values. Born in Tafawa Balewa in present-day Bauchi State in 1938, he emerged as one of the finest minds produced by Northern Nigeria and became widely respected across the country for his brilliance, eloquence, patriotiesm, and uncommon generosity.

Dr. Ibrahim Tahir began his early education at Kobi Primary School before proceeding to the prestigious Barewa College, where he graduated in 1958. His outstanding academic performance earned him a scholarship to King's College Cambridge, where he obtained both a Bachelor’s degree and a Doctorate in Social Anthropology. His exposure to global intellectual traditions shaped him into a refined scholar who combined African traditional values with modern political and social philosophy.

Upon returning to Nigeria, Dr. Tahir joined Ahmadu Bello University as a lecturer in sociology in 1967. At the university, he became renowned for his sharp intellect, philosophical depth, and exceptional oratory skills. He founded the famous Gamji Club in honour of the late Premier of Northern Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello, and played a major role in shaping intellectual discourse in Northern Nigeria during a politically sensitive era.

Dr. Tahir later ventured into politics and national service, becoming one of the founding members of the National Party of Nigeria during the Second Republic. He served as the party’s national secretary and later became Chairman of the Northern Nigeria Development Corporation (NNDC). His competence and strategic thinking eventually earned him appointment as Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, where he contributed significantly to national policy formulation and administrative reforms.

One of his most enduring contributions to Nigeria was his participation in constitutional development and democratic reforms. Dr. Tahir served in the 1978 Constituent Assembly that drafted the 1979 Constitution, participated in the 1994/95 Constitutional Conference, and later contributed to the 2005 National Political Reform Conference. He was widely admired for defending democracy, justice, federal balance, and national unity during critical moments in Nigeria’s political history.

As Talban Bauchi, a revered traditional title he held from 1981 until his death in 2009, Dr. Ibrahim Tahir became a symbol of scholarship, leadership, and moral guidance in Northern Nigeria. He promoted Islamic scholarship, cultural heritage, and traditional institutions while remaining deeply connected to ordinary people regardless of status or background. His humility and generosity made him beloved by students, politicians, traditional rulers, and the masses alike.

Dr. Tahir was also a respected writer and public intellectual. His celebrated novel, The Last Imam, remains one of the most important literary works from Northern Nigeria, reflecting deep philosophical reflections on tradition, religion, leadership, and social transformation. He was known for speaking truth to power and offering honest national advice to successive Nigerian governments from the era of Yakubu Gowon through later administrations.

Beyond politics and scholarship, Dr. Tahir was remembered for his philanthropy, compassion, and selflessness. Many tributes described him as a mentor, father figure, and intellectual giant who dedicated his life to helping humanity. Despite his influence and proximity to power, he lived modestly and was admired for placing service above personal wealth.

💔💔THE LETTER MAJOR MALINGA NEVER READ💔😭😭

Rain had fallen throughout the evening over the military camp.

Inside a dimly lit tent, Major Malinga sat alone, meticulously cleaning the dust from his boots following days of heightened tension at the frontline. Around him, soldiers whispered prayers and attempted to rest before dawn broke.

However, sleep eluded Major Malinga.

He bore an immense burden of responsibility.

As a commander to his men, and a father to three children waiting at home, his duties were multifaceted.

From the inner pocket of his uniform, he carefully retrieved a folded letter that had arrived earlier that afternoon from his family.

The paper was worn from the numerous times he had held it.

With a soft smile, he began to read the words penned by his wife:

“My love, the children miss you every day. Your youngest still sleeps holding your photograph. The boys keep asking when Daddy will return. We are praying for you. Please come back to us safely. We don’t need riches… we only need you.”

A small drawing slipped from the envelope, a creation from his youngest child.

A stick figure wearing military camouflage stood beside a house and three smiling children, above which were shaky words: “Daddy, come home. We love you.”

For the first time in days, Major Malinga’s composure broke, and he lowered his head.

Though the battlefield had hardened his body, it had not hardened his heart.

He folded the drawing carefully and gazed toward the dark sky outside.

One of his soldiers approached him.

“Sir… operation starts before sunrise,”

Major Malinga nodded.

Then he said quietly, “When this mission ends, I’m going home. My children have waited long enough.”

None of them knew these words would be his final promise.

Before dawn, the unit moved out.

The mission was to rescue civilians trapped near hostile territory.

The weather was unforgiving; rain turned the ground into mud, and thunder rolled above them.

Still, Major Malinga led from the front, as he always did.

Hours into the mission, disaster unfolded.

Enemy fire erupted from hidden positions, and the peaceful valley became a nightmare of explosions and screaming metal.

Soldiers scrambled for cover while some civilians became trapped between the fighting.

Major Malinga saw the danger immediately and ordered, “Move them out!”

Bullets tore through nearby trees as he guided frightened families toward safety.

Then he noticed a young soldier had fallen behind – wounded, terrified, and pinned down.

Without hesitation, Major Malinga ran back.

His men shouted after him, “Sir! It’s too dangerous!”

But he never listened when someone needed saving.

He reached the wounded soldier and shielded him as gunfire rained around them.

Together they crawled through mud and smoke.

Just as safety seemed close, a deafening explosion shattered the air.

The blast struck nearby, and everything disappeared beneath smoke and fire.

When the dust settled, soldiers rushed toward the scene and found the young soldier alive.

But Major Malinga… their commander… their protector… lay motionless beside him.

His uniform was torn, and rain mixed with blood across the earth.

Yet, one thing remained untouched – the letter, still tucked inside his pocket.

A soldier removed it carefully with trembling hands.

Inside, they found something Major Malinga had written on the back before the mission: “If I do not return, tell my children their father loved them more than life itself. Tell them I carried their voices into every battle.”

[Imam of Masjid al-Masih Isa(Jesus) in Korea @koreanimam]

To the Islamophobia Patients Who Attack Me Because I Converted from Christianity to Islam

There is something I want to say to them.

I was born in Korea in 1986, and in 2009, I left Christianity and entered Islam.

Even after converting, I studied Islam for more than ten years while traveling through several Middle Eastern countries. I studied for my own sake, because I could not allow myself to believe in a false religion.

So please be assured: Islam is indeed the religion of truth.

I believe Islamophobia is not merely ignorance, but a kind of illness.

I, too, had many strange prejudices about Islam when I was a Christian. But after breaking free from those prejudices, my health improved and my life changed.

A life without Islam is not truly living. Even if I were offered hundreds of billions, I would never abandon Islam. I cannot even imagine a life without Islam.

RICH IN FRIENDS, POOR IN RICHES: THE ADAMU ADAMU STORY

I once saw a former minister leave office without a personal car, waiting for a friend to pick him up after handing over. If I had not witnessed it myself, I probably would not have believed it. In a system where public office is often treated as a shortcut to wealth, the sight was both rare and striking.

Good leaders still exist, though they are few and far between. Mallam Adamu Adamu is one of them.

An accountant by training and a respected veteran journalist, Mallam Adamu entered public service with little more than his reputation and left in much the same condition. He never built another house for himself. Apart from the modest four-bedroom house he owned in Azare before becoming a minister, that remains all he has to his name. Today, he is alive and well, yet lives modestly—not out of misfortune, but by choice.

He saw money in office and refused to touch what was not his. Such restraint is rare. In Nigeria’s political culture, where access to public funds is too often mistaken for entitlement, Mallam Adamu’s conduct stands out because it reflects what public service ought to be: serving without helping oneself to the public treasury.

Generosity was another of his defining qualities. He was never afraid of being poor because he spent what little he had supporting those with even less. Students, widows, and young journalists who crossed his path can testify to his kindness. He may not possess material wealth, but he is rich in relationships—surrounded by friends, former colleagues, and loyal associates who remain loyal without expecting anything in return.

Our friendship dates back to his days at the New Nigerian Newspaper, where his reputation for discipline, honesty, and frankness was already well established. What I saw then remains unchanged today. At a time when corruption scandals are measured in trillions, Mallam Adamu Adamu’s life is a reminder that integrity in public service is still possible.

The apple does not fall far from the tree. Adamu Adamu belongs in the tradition of Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Nigeria’s first Prime Minister, and Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto—leaders who chose duty over personal gain and left behind legacies of honour and service.

He entered office poor. He left office poor. Yet in doing so, he preserved something far more enduring: his name.

He stood his ground so others could make it home safely.

When gunmen opened fire outside the Islamic Center of San Diego, Amin protected the community until his final moments. Police say his actions prevented the attack from becoming far worse.

May Allah accept him amongst the martyrs and grant patience to his loved ones. 🤲

Saleh Mamman stole ₦33.8 billion meant to build the #MambillaDam.

The dam that would have given Northern Nigeria 3,050 megawatts.

He was a Buhari man. From Taraba — the same state where Mambilla sits.

Appointed to fix #Arewa's power crisis.

He looted it instead.

Sentenced 75 years. In absentia. He's gone.

Which, in our #Nigeria, means -
"We have sentenced his shadow. We have imprisoned his ghost. But his body is at large and his money remains abroad."

The judge said: "Little wonder Nigerians have remained in darkness till today."

But the darkness in the North is not an accident.

It is not a resource curse.

It is not fate.

It is a policy.

Built by people who look like us.

Speak like us.

Pray like us.

And then steal from us.

In a few years, he may decide to contest for governorship in Taraba State.

My friend Titi, as SA to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has institutionalized an initiative that will forever etch her name in gold in Nigeria’s development story.

Through her efforts, a new skill set has now been integrated into the NYSC SAED programme through a strategic collaboration between the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) and the NYSC.

Corps members will now be trained and equipped with practical skills in CNG vehicle conversion, maintenance, and safety, creating employment and entrepreneurship opportunities within Nigeria’s rapidly growing alternative energy ecosystem.

This is leadership with long-term impact.
Congratulations, my dear friend @titilopegb 👏
