IS IT END OF THE ROAD FOR SARAKI?

Hear Professor of Law Itse Sagay:

Senate President Bukola Saraki “...should relinquish his position as a matter of honour. He’s not compelled by law to do so. He needs to be removed by two-thirds majority” Sagay said.

“He got there because he was in APC, even though he got there by subterfuge, which is typical of him. He got there in a cheeky, fraudulent manner. Nevertheless, for him to be removed, they need two-thirds, not of the senate, but of those present and voting at a meeting.

“It doesn’t have to be everybody. It’s those who happen to be there. Once they meet the quorum of one-third, and he is there, he can be removed by two-thirds of that one-third.”

BUHARI, KPEROGI AND THE BUHARISTS 

...by Tijjani Muhammad Musa

I have never joined issues with Dr. Farooq Kperogi on almost anything he chose to write on or react to about Buhari. Some of it so venomous, so deeply demeaning of its origin, that one finds it shocking to imagine the level of hatred contained in the source's "poison" pouch, which seems kind of reserved strictly for Buhari.

One cannot help but wonder why Kperogi's persistent and unrelenting criticisms of anything remotely close to or far flung from, so long as it is associated with the President. Also one is left curious to know at which point did Buhari and Kperogi's paths crossed and what might have transpired between them to initiate such blind and ferocious literary onslaughts from the latter onto the former? 

Some conspiracy theorists say it might probably be because having reached the pinnacle of his career, that is become a professor and lecturer in one of the universities in the United States and also having served at one time as one of Obasanjo's speechwriters, Dr. Farooq believes he deserves much more respect from any Nigerian government thenceforth. 

And so a better recognition from the current administration through an appointment or two wouldn't be out of place, rather than his being snubbed like a nonentity, a nobody. Thus his fury, anger and annoyance basically boils down to being ignored like an ordinary citizen, which he thinks himself not.

Others posit that his meek background, having come from Okuta, Baruten Local Government of Kwara State bordering Benin Republic, which by default could perhaps not make him one of the most valuable Nigerians, but at least could put him forth as the most popular export of his relatively tiny, unknown ethnic minority group. This is what might be making him have a crisis of the two opposite complexes.

Inferiority complex on one hand, thus his detest and envy for Buhari, a Hausa-Fulani extract from an ethnic majority Kperogi might possibly wish to have come from, but can never. And a superiority complex on the other hand, due to his high level of academic qualifications and career status, influencing him to regard everyone lowly and "simpletons" as he recently described Buhari followers.

Whatever the reasons might be, many find the professor a little bit too harsh in his critical attacks of almost every policy and approach to governance of this APC government under the leadership of Buhari. I, being a staunch supporter of Buhari have never actually bothered about Farooq's criticisms, despite issuing a warning to my social media e-friends as well as whoever, albeit jokingly, for them to beware of their tongues where and when my President is concerned.

I refused to express my takes or lay it thick upon Kperogi for several of his scathing articles on Buhari. Not because he does not deserve a rejoinder or two on one or two occasions, but because I was of the sincere belief that whatever might be making the erudite scholar act with such inattentive abandon must be personal and so he is entitled to his opinions, whether wrong or right and is free to spew his guts or fart out loud once in a while as a concerned citizen, most especially on national issues.

And because of his lofty academic status, I found it in me necessary to respect him, as I did while he was with Daily Trust as its columnist some years back, even before he travelled to America. But subject to his recent temperament, it is sad to note that clearly, Farooq has allowed something, I really don't know what, to have taken over his sense of decorum, to lose control over his emotions, peaked his bias and sentiments, and even misappropriate his intellectuality. 

When things like that happen and it can happen to anyone, literate or illiterate, a genius or a simpleton, urban or suburban, one can only sympathize with the unfortunate person over his or her despicable predicaments. And that, is the basic reason why I chose to understand the man who often seems to be hell-bent on dancing naked in the market place, despite calls by those who care for him not to do that. 

And this his trademark derogatory remarks I was soon to learn were not limited only to the greats and mighty in society, in his insatiable quest for attention, but that even ordinary social media users were not spared. From his track records of use of abuses, which are not limited to the likes of Buhari alone, since his past lecturers like Prof. Ibrahim Bello Kano (IBK) and Prof. Aliyu Kamal among many others are once in a while given a dose of his public stripper of a mind. 

And because of his high level of intolerance for any he deems beneath him in his suppressive thinking, many of his e-friends get to be "Blocked" at the slightest expression of opinions Kperogi finds contrary to that which he holds, even if facts and figures as evidences are tendered to that effect. This attitude has made many wonder why someone who relishes in criticizing others would lack the patience to swallow some of his own medicine. It has unfortunately earned him a very stinking reputation and such distasteful nicknames as "Kperogue" on one hand and "Dr. Blocked" on another.

But like someone possessed by a mean, heartless and envious jinn, the man of English grammar seems to have gone beyond the frustrations he is registering from the outcome of his ranting and writings, and is beginning to extend his network of unguarded utterances, callous disrespect and disregard which are meant to hurt feelings of ordinary people with equal fundamental human rights, just like him, most for committing no offense whatsoever except exercising their freedom of expression and of association.

His "mad dogs" of words unleashed aforetimes to desecrate the person of Buhari and Office of The President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, having yielded not the desirable results and impact their master would have wish for, has necessitate a change in approach from him to this self-imposed vengeful saga. From his latest outburst, the need for him to include in the attacks of Buhari's personality, his Nigeriana, the Buharists, has become so imperative, thereby taking an entirely new dimension.

Now, this is where some of us come in. I am a Buharist, to the core. A very proud one for that matter. I have declared without any apology my unflinching support and loyalty to the rare, unique and exceptional phenomenon of a man known as Muhammadu Buhari and his good intentions for this country. I want to be associated with the legacies he will be bequeathing to Nigeria, some of which are already existing while others are soon to manifest. 

I have chosen to be on his side and not the other side of the divide as history records this patriotic strive, these nationalistic transformational efforts as we pass through our portion of time. I actually do not fret about being called names. Haters and Wailers do that to Buhari and Buharists all the time. Such uncivil behavior serves as sharks in our tank. Clearly, we are becoming better, the country is fast regaining its confidence and credibility among other stabilizing qualities because of such yelping and barking. 

Words Prof. Kperogi arrogantly hauled to register his aggravation with citizens of Nigeria, who support and revere Buhari fell flat at my feet. That is where they belong, for the basic reason that their price and value carry no weight, being useless and worthless. I have written severally in both prose and poetry for it to be documented that I'm a BUHARIST to the core and so #IStandWithBuhari, and proudly too.

I do this Buhari thing, just like all true Buharists not for any gain, but for the fact that I don't want my biography written to show that I was in any form of clash or opposition with the man's patriotic cause for this nation. Again we are doing this out of our own free will, free from any compulsion or inducement. He might not even know we exist, nor do we want him to know. This we are doing for the love of our nation.

We want to be registered amongst Buhari's disciples. Those who walked with him through the rough, tough stuffs that are unbearable to most in bringing back Nigeria's lost glory, yet we survived the daunting sojourn. And like other nations that saw the depth of recession's valley, we hope to see the peak of Nigeria's rebirth and its repositioning among the leading countries of the world.

. 

The man Buhari for me, for us, is hope for a better future. Not just for us and our progenies, but for this one of a kind blessed and well endowed country. A nation of almost 200 million, hated by many from both within and without it, yet it keeps growing by the day, against all odds. If I can not help in uplifting it to greater heights, I do not wish to be among its betrayers. 

Thus aligning with Buhari in this quest is a life time opportunity, no sane and sound mind should miss. He is our own Mandela, Luther King, Gandhi, Li Kuan, Mahathir and such other great men.

When I read the Prof's swipe at Buharists, it saddened me much to have to confirm his reserved position among the Wailers and Haters of a man of honor, integrity and dignity. I see Kperogi's image, lofty among those who wish for our dear country Nigeria and its road to economic recovery, to describe it in one simple and single word, ill. What a disappointment from one with such potential, to be lost to the flood, just like Noah's son of biblical narrations.

But then looking again at his vomit about Baba's loyalists, it occurred to me that he ought to be excused due to his ignorance, and genuinely so too. Forget the fact that Kperogi is a professor. You see, there is this beautiful saying "We are all ignorant. It all depends on the subject matter", experts as some of us might be in one field or another. He might be knowledgeable in media and journalism, but when it comes to optics, embryology, facial makeup, he is as good a novice or even a stack illiterate.

Now since he knows not what or who a true Buharist is, which shows clearly from how unfortunate and regrettable Kperogi's take on us is, I would seek the readers indulgence to give the university don a proper introduction of who we are and what we stand for via this poem:

BUHARIST: THE DEFINITION

I'm a Buharist to the core

Not because he's faultless 

Nor because he's blameless

But because he's only human

Not close to perfect, err bound

Yet, that doesn't affect my stand

To proudly identify as his Nigeriana.

I'm a Buharist to the core

Been to the precipice of hell

Cliff hanged on edge of heaven

Saw a red river flowing east to west

Thousands swimming against its tide

As tears tear thru my conscious conscience

Making me believe, in the change that changes.

I'm a Buharist to the core

I am what I am, not for a fee

Wanting nothing back in return

And my core value?..... Patriotism

I'm unique, special, different, selfless

Educated, informed, enlighten, optimistic

I'm not much in person, but everything in us.

I'm a Buharist to the core

I've chosen to be part of this

O history, put me on this half

His side of the coin, not the flip

I stand to be counted, not a hater

Nor among the looters or wailers

Definitely not my nation's saboteur.

I'm a Buharist to the core

Sacrificer of my beloved lamb

For the greatness of my country

Cast king N afloat, a soaring eagle

Free from the shackles of bondage

From demeaning chains of poverty

Transformation; Frownism to Smilism.

I'm a Buharist to the core

Now, some might not like it so

You might even think it unhealthy

You might even hatefully detest it

But that's just the way it is, for me

My nation comes first, I give it m'all

I am what I am, proudly a new Nigerian.

I'm a Buharist to the core

Part of a phenomenon I am

A rough, tough journey I must walk

Dungeon darkness to lofty star light

Broken spirit, my resolve, my hope lifts I

To believe ailment ain't death, but a test, a trial

Of which as I rise once again, I see I in it... 

A new, prosperous, enduring Naija dawn.

That he has picked on us, lovers and supporters of the living legend i.e. Muhammad Buhari to include in his campaign of hatred and calumny, let it be known that we are warriors of unknown capacity and capability. Remember, only the one who knows the pen, truly fears the pen. The loudest of music might fail to wake up a sleeping baby, but the softest of noise might arouse a mighty, monstrous giant.

He has willingly invited us, Buharists, among us a league of creative minds to a meal, possibly a feast of words that might know no end. It is our hope that like the burning disk in our solar system, he is capable of preparing, producing, providing, sustaining and enduring all that it takes to maintain its feed. In simplicity, is indeed found much complexity and vice versa. 

But as a matter of urgency Farooq Kperogi should walk backwards, retrace his footsteps and look elsewhere for his "idolaters", his satan sanctifiers and worshippers, his "stupid" and "idiotic" lot as asserted in his submission against us. He should be rest assured that Buharists or let me give him another new word haters have created to describe us; "Babarians", after our favorite chant of "Sai Baba!", are not it.

Muhammadu Buhari might be too busy with State affairs to bother and respond to nuisance distractions like him, but we are not. Prof. Farooq Kperogi should therefore be rest assured that our 'Bubu' is not alone, for we are here with him. And in our ambition to relaunch this country back on track, we will leave no stone unturned towards achieving our goals.

And this piece is, but just a prologue. We should remember that, before the ceremonial red carpet is laid for any people's President to walk upon, much to the cheers of an audience, the walkway is first and foremost swept clean and cleared of dirt, debris and litters. That way a smooth, bump free walk is assured him who is worthy.

THE VERSE FOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM IN THE QUR'AN

How many of us logon on a daily basis to the various social media accounts we have subscribed to, on the many interactive online platforms scattered across the internet? For one, you are already a confirmed buff by your reading this write up. This is because there is no way you could be appraising this piece, except through one of the following accounts; your Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Telegram, Google+ etc. Of course your emails, blogs, websites and other internet supporting e-friendship facilities could be serving to feed your indulgence. Let us not forget the old, traditional media, that is still there for us.

There are those who come with this notion that when they see or read anything presented on social media and find the contents therein doubtful, instead of doing the needful i.e. go and verify the authenticity of the submission or otherwise, they would say "The burden of investigation and confirmation lies not on me, but whoever makes the submission. As the popular philosophical maxim goes 'He who asserts must prove'". Thinking that is being swerve, smart and cool. Well, actually it is not. It just goes to confirm that the responder is one of those typical lazy Nigerian youths most of them are.

To that remark I'm often want to ask "Says who?" Yes, I know that famous saying about "The Burden Of Proof" thing by Aristotle, which not only I, but many others find at variance with our understanding, logic and "skewed" reasoning. For if we are to abide by that phrase, then investigative journalism as we know it will cease to exist. And the truth will forever, never be made manifest. Unless one checks to verify by oneself or commissions same to be pursued for him or her by others, the source of the information being challenged might continuously return with the same result, if he or she should be saddled with the burden of proving the truth of the matter.

Besides, outcome of these burden of proof can easily and readily be denied or rejected again and again by the one who cast the doubt in the first instance, most especially if mischief is the hidden motive. So either way, it is best to take it upon oneself to prove the authenticity of the claims or assertions found in the information tendered. Is it True or not? And this, is the wisest way to go about it, which goes in tandem with how God Stipulates it in the Holy Qur'an thus:

O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful. (Quran 49:6)

So, for any to say they will leave the burden of proof on the person disseminating the information, this is simply a call for trouble, that could lead to nothing, but chaos. And how often have we been subjected to false news, red flags and hate speeches, which we often take at face value without investigating, believing it hook, line and sinker, endorsing or approving certain measures to be taken, or even take drastic actions ourselves, only to discover to our utmost regret that we were deliberately misinformed, deceived and wronged, thereby making us to act wrong.

This is now our latest predicament; the advent of new media as a means of communication, which is making it easier, faster and cheaper to distribute high volume of quality digital data to all and sundry, anywhere in the world. Most especially with the coming of social media, that has not only empowered many, but has also transformed ordinary citizens on the street through possession of smart phones and other handheld communication devices into pseudo "journalists" with the capacity and capability of sharing information about anything or anyone, be it the truth or falsehood, without the conventional gate-keeping, checks or balances obtainable in the old media tradition.

The burden of proof should not be upon the person who posted the writing in question, as he or she might not be interested in proving his or her case, which may be utter fabrications by its origin and intent. But it should be upon you, the receiver of the information as soundly advised in the above spiritual chapter and verse of the holy scripture. INVESTIGATE IT YOURSELF, BEFORE BELIEVING IT! But where any choose to act contrary to this injunction, and there are many who would and are doing that, one will find on their parts harming of people and injustice visited upon the innocent and blame free.

End.

LIFELESS MEETS SOULLESS - Poetry

…by Poetic Tee “Here, take a sip”

Is it true that Trump called Buhari “lifeless”?
Why would he want to do that? It’s senseless
Anyway, until I hear it from him it’s baseless
For words like this come only from the soulless
He was his good host at the White House, unless
What he wanted wasn’t given by the faultless
So the buffoon, baboon became quite restless
Such a mean thing to say to your guest, stainless
Goes to show if you’re a man, you must be hopeless
For who, well cultured could be, well, so mannerless?
When you smiled to pose for a picture, so priceless

But in your heart, what you harbor is so, worthless
How can you be so insensitive, so mean, so careless
Hate speech this surely is, even to the daft, brainless
Some souls are of angels, while others are heartless
Can’t fathom what's the gain, it’s shitty, meaningless
We all can’t be the same, for many are thoughtless
Hmm, some situations surely make one speechless
Others are way out of this world, one word? Priceless
But how can you be so loftily placed, yet so tactless?
So, next time say good with your trap or just remain wordless.

BUHARI IS A PHENOMENON NONE SHOULD MISS BEING A PART OF

Nine (9) World country Presidents and Prime Ministers visits a "Lifeless" black African leader in the span of 2 Months and yet you want to think, the word was meant as a putdown?

Something must be terribly wrong with your intellect, your intelligence. Anyway, the piece of poetry can explain better...

LIFELESS MEETS SOULLESS
…by Poetic Tee “Here, take a sip”

Is it true that Trump called Buhari “lifeless”?
Why would he want to do that? It’s senseless
Anyway, until I hear it from him it’s baseless
For words like this come only from the soulless
He was his good host at the White House, unless
What he wanted wasn’t given by the faultless
So the buffoon, baboon became quite restless
Such a mean thing to say to your guest, stainless
Goes to show if you’re a man, you must be hopeless
For who, well cultured could be, well, so mannerless?
When you smiled to pose for a picture, so priceless
But in your heart, what you harbor is so, worthless
How can you be so insensitive, so mean, so careless
Hate speech this surely is, even to the daft, brainless
Some souls are of angels, while others are heartless
Can’t fathom what's the gain, it’s shitty, meaningless
We all can’t be the same, for many are thoughtless
Hmm, some situations surely make one speechless
Others are way out of this world, one word? Priceless
But how can you be so loftily placed, yet so tactless?
So, next time say good with your trap or just remain wordless.

KWANKWASO'S BIGGEST POLITICAL CAREER MISTAKE …By Tijjani Muhammad Musa

https://m.facebook.com/DWinternational/?tsid=0.026486283957102064&source=result

Ex Kano State Governor and now Kano Central Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso's most devastating career miscalculation, which has since set his political prominence spiraling downward happened in 2014 APC Presidential Primaries in which President Muhammad Buhari emerged winner.

In the said in-house election, APC delegates representing every ward and states of the country gathered during their National Convention and chose Buhari as their Presidential Flag Bearer for the then upcoming, now historic 2015 Elections, which toppled the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan as well as the ruling party, PDP.

Kwankwaso came a distant second, while former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who was among the contestants emerged a dismal third despite all the underground political moves, negotiations and exchange of money, some in hard currencies by those who trusted and believed in money politics.

Now, after that disappointing failure on the part of now sobered by defeat Kwankwaso, what some analysts expect from such a much bloated confidence politician and his followers was go back to the drawing table to review and reassess what happened in order to learn from their misfortunes.

The ex-Minister of Defense should have sat down with his inner caucus loyalists and come to the realization that the force (Buhari) they are contending with is either too strong for them to overcome or the time for such a confrontation is not in their favor and so should restrategize.

The Buhari popularity seems to be building up since he entered into the political arena. He has built up a followership that has steadily been increasing with each presidential bid since  2003. By the time he had given the presidency his third attempt in 2011, his voters base had surpassed the 12 million mark.

For any discerning and analytical mind, it was becoming obvious that if anybody could be growing the way Buhari was doing, without the political structure of the 16 years old ruling party as well as instruments of state or financial clout of the national government behind him, it was only a matter of time, before a hit will be recorded by such a person.

Kwankwaso should have tethered his ego and accept to take a step backward in order to take 10 steps forward. He should have immediately paid homage and allegiance to Buhari and offer his full support and loyalty to their party's Presidential flag bearer, courting his trust and acceptance, all in a calculated political strategy and repositioning.

He should have succumbed to superiority of purpose against self propagation of pride. By submitting to flow with the leader, albeit temporarily, he could have had his portion of the cake at stake. Being the force to reckon with in Nigerian politics that he is and coming from Buhari's political base Kano, then having such an impressive credentials, he could have established himself as the next man to trust after the phenomenal Buhari.

Once he so critically position himself, he could have his cut of political appointments, both for himself and his associates. And wherever the President goes he is likely to be included as part of the entourage. By constantly being in the happening circle of the President and state affairs, his presence would gradually be impressed upon many as the natural successor to Buhari when the old war horse eventually finishes his tenure.

Now, when Buhari goes in 2023, what will most likely happen is the south would want to take its turn in producing the country's next president. Southwest to be precise would produce a Yoruba president and the north would be called upon to provide the vice president. With Kwankwaso having served the country well and prominently too, he would be most befitting to occupy that lofty post.

Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, current Vice President to Buhari has clearly proven himself with regards to decisively handling the affairs of the country as Acting President in the absence of President Muhammad Buhari could become the next president, floating the Christian ticket. Again Kwankwaso being a Muslim and from the north would naturally fill in as his Muslim ticket running mate.

As Vice President, Kwankwaso from his track records and antecedent as Kano State Governor, former Minister and so on would not be like Atiku Abubakar who spent 8 years as Obasanjo's Vice President or Namadi Sambo who spent 6 years as Jonatha's Deputy with virtually nothing to show as a legacies to the north, on both their parts.

Rabiu Kwankwaso would have further consolidated his growing political clout and relevance as to keep the president on his toes in all ramifications, so much so that many would begin to feel his dominant character in the presidency and once in a while perform the role of the president when requested to play acting president himself. It would only be a matter of time for all to recognize his full potential as the next Nigerian President.

Now, all this would not happen in the time frame Kwankwaso would want it to happen. Besides, he clearly lacks the requirements for such a development to come to pass. What could such basics, some might want to ask? Well, looking closely at the flow of events, it would take nothing less than 8 to 12 years for such a success story to be achieved. The man lacks the patience to wait for that to happen.

Also, for him to become president Kwankwaso must play a follower card first. Sadly, it is not among his stallion qualities to be found in that position at any time. He believes himself a leader and so would rather lead a pack of young goons or trudge a path all alone rather than follow any one, notwithstanding his superiority over and above him. His APC defection is a case to point at.

Again, with Kwankwaso it is either his way or no way. If he decides to do a thing, he takes full charge and will essentially deliver the goods no matter whose ox is gored or how mighty the toes he would step upon. A democracy player who is not democratic one bit when it comes to leadership qualities. Here too, many will find him at loggerhead with their interests.

But when it comes to progressing this nation forward, there is no doubt in me that he is a man who could achieve greatness for both himself and the country. Sadly, he has played his cards all wrong, so far. Perhaps, there's a way things could turn around for him, Allaahu A'lam. But for now, a gaskiya all odds seems to be against him.

THE REASON WHY I AM WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS BUYING PRESIDENTIAL FORM FOR BUHARI

THE REASON WHY I AM WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS BUYING PRESIDENTIAL FORM FOR BUHARI

Like i said on one of my earlier posts a day or two back, I will surely contribute to buy the form for him. 

Not because he can't afford it nor his family and friends cannot do it for him, but because he is not suppose to do it himself. Else he's being encouraged to want to recover his "investment"! 

Meanwhile, Buhari is offering to be our public servant. And we have accepted it of him. If we are true and sincere, the least help we can offer him is to commit ourselves and our resources to his quest. That way he is not on his own. 

We are in it together. He wins, we win. He loses, we also lose it with him. Also by contributing, we are acquiring the right to have our say, express our anger, annoyance, grievances, complains and frustrations with his misrule, if we should find him wanting. 

But, if he is to be allowed to sink his money as if he is buying the mandate for himself alone, what justification do we have to hold him responsible for trying to recoup "profit" in the political transaction?

Has anyone tried looking at it from this angle, from this perspective?

***BREAKING NEWS!

By the way, the Presidential Nomination Form has already been bought for him by a group of Nigerians while he was in China, under the aegis of Nigerian Consolidation Ambassadors Network (NCAN) - "Good Nigerians".

 

And that's the beauty of it all. While some home based Nigerians aka Haters, are advocating for abstaining from contributing to buy the form for PMB, here are some others patriots who are dying to give something back to the country, that others are hating to see happen.

"DON'T BE SAD" IS BACK

DO NOT BE SAD "Because, it is not worth it" ~ is an inspirational radio program on a spiritual tip. Hosted by yours truly on Dala 88.5 FM, Kano. Have you heard it yet? 

Last time on the 8:00pm prompt Friday night interactive session, we looked at 3 burning things and discussed them with listeners contributing opinions via LIVE phone-in within the time limit:

i) Lack of Islamic Knowledge among our graduates and educated elites, yet they come on social and other media to express their minds ignorantly on Islamic contemporary issues.

ii) What does Islam say about rape in marriage? Is it recognized in the Quran and Hadith, just like it is being advocated by feminists, women rights groups or in the west?

iii) What's the first thing you do when faced with a peace threatening, life challenging matter? Who do you turn to at the onset of your troubles? Is it Allah first or Allah last?

 Among the callers were males and females each expressing their gratitude for the program. It has afore times been a ladies favorite presentation. They phone-in more.

One of them said he was in a sad and very depressive mood, hating life and everyone around him. You need to hear him wAllaah! So passionate about his predicament. Only for him to tune in and catch my voice talking.

After listening in for a while, he felt instantly relieved of his anger, annoyance, sadness, distress and even more. So he called in to thank Allaah and us for the comforting, yet exciting hour.

Bold and incisive, Do Not Be Sad (DNBSad) will be addressing topical issues and spotlighting the Islamic perspective vis a vis the western or secular points of view about them.

Outside Kano? Well, don't be sad you can listen to the program LIVE just like residents of the old ancient city at 8:00pm prompt every Friday by logging on to www.dalafmkano.com then click on - Listen Live!

Or better still you can use this amazing technology radio link http://radio.garden/live and subsequently point your finger on the green dot where Kano, Nigeria is located on the globe...

Wholla! You can get to hear Tijjani Muhammad Musa LIVE on Dala 88.5 FM doing his "thang" in English and Hausa on radio. For those of you who were there with me from day one, but now live in diaspora, this will be nostalgic, I tell you.

So, no more excuses as all barriers are now broken down. It's indeed a global village... :D Welcome as you join us.

POLICE IN KANO ARREST WHATSAPP GROUP ADMIN & 2 MEMBERS IN FAKE NEWS SHARE CASE

POLICE IN KANO ARREST WHATSAPP GROUP ADMIN & 2 MEMBERS IN FAKE NEWS SHARE CASE

 When we published the piece about social media group Admins getting arrested for one fake post or another on DesignWorld INT'L, last year August 24, 2017 to be exact, following a report shared from a Kenyan news outlet, many of you ignored it.

Their belief is Nigeria is too lawless for that to happen here, so they continued with their social media misinformation, hate speech, fake news, fabrications and libelous postings and sharing unperturbed.

Well, it is only one year ago and now we have our very first case of arrest and detention in Kano of 3 individuals, a male social media group Admin and 2 female members, who shared an unverified, unconfirmed information about an alleged crime of kidnapping.

Investigations by the Kano Kidnapping Squad of the Nigerian Police as informed by Police Public Relations Officer DSP Musa Magaji Majiya revealed that the suspect, a female health worker was completely innocent of the  allegations.

Subsequently, the female member who first shared the false information was arrested along side two others, another female as well as the group Admin, a male who claimed he was even unaware of the post, when it was shared and by who.

All 3 are now being held by the police pending conclusion of their investigations. There could be more arrests. This is possibly the first time such an arrest is taking place involving the sharing of fake news or hate speech in Kano. It surely will not be the last.

A video of the victim and prime suspects being interviewed by journalists has gone viral and is serving as further warning to all to beware of what they say, write, share, post, distribute etc on social media platforms. It could truly get you into serious trouble.

Perhaps, you would believe it now that it has happened in a place near you.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO US?

…by Poetic Tee “Here, take a sip”

Whatever happened to life
When children would call each other to play
Only for grown ups to take it over with a fight?
Now, nobody meets on the playground, but do virtually
Yet the fight has remained.

Whatever happened to love
That someone would kill himself for
And another would follow suit to confirm its true existence?
Now, nobody cares about the heart or what it holds sacred
Rather, it is vain vanity and deception that reigns supreme.

Whatever happened to friendship
When good would fall from the sky
And friends would harvest not just for self, but for others too?
Now, tidings are hidden from the e-ones
That live every moment tagging along each log on made.

Whatever happened to family
When a brother to a father whose mother is a sister
To an uncle of a cousin's niece would visit his sick grandma?
Now, status updates on social media of a relation's death
In company of their images is used to collect reactions and emojis.

Whatever happened to trust
When treasures would find home with the poor and destitute
Only to be met intact or improved notwithstanding ages?
Now, riches, wealth, bitcoins stored in bytes are pursued
Their vaults and owners hacked, from shadows of invisibility.

Whatever happened to peace, security
When a neighbor would leave his house unlocked
Travel the world, return to meet even dust not encroaching his privacy?
Now, the eye penetrates the innermost of sacred intimacies
Using all means violationable and making you pay for it.

Whatever happened to foods and drinks
When crops, so natural would be sown
Bumper reaps result, sustaining till another?
Now GMO is forced, bees are killed, gardens destroyed and DNA tampered with.
All for what? Progression to retrogression?

Whatever happened to cultures
When traditional values would be passed on with pride
Guiding societal principles, progeny for generations?
Now, it's all on a search engine machine app
Accessed by all, read for marks by a few, at the click of a mouse.

Whatever happened to good handmade music
When a song would be sang, enjoyed for ages
And danced in dances in celebrations of living?
Now, only bad sounds reverberate ànd echo
To distort minds of the young and hurt ears of the sane.

Whatever happened to our belief
When we would be selfless, expecting nothing today
Hoping tomorrow would be better, then blessed?
Now, we are told "Tomorrow never comes"
So are encouraged to self worship, for The One exists not.

Have we lost it all, lost ourselves to civilization forever?
What would it cost man to returns to our striped virtues?
Can’t life be lived beautifully by just establishing justice, fairness?
How can we be so lost using not just a compass, but the digital GPS?
Are we such a runaway, rushing downhill to a waiting cliff edge, set to fly?
