ON THE 15TH OF EVERY JANUARY WE USED TO RECOLLECT THE PAINFUL PASSAGE OF OUR REVERED LARGER-THAN-LIFE PERSONALITY, ONE AND ONLY PREMIER OF THE DEFUNCT NORTHERN REGION, SIR, AHMADU BELLO (SARDAUNA OF SOKOTO)
Tomorrow is GOING TO BE yet another day of the remembering the painful EXIT of the bundle of GENEROSITY AND THE BUILDER of Northern Nigeria.SIR AHMADU BELLO(SARDAUNA OF SOKOTO) whom the dissidents soldiers killed UNJUSTIFIABLY AND DEVIOD OF ANY GROUNDS!
We the youths of today would have been better off had it been SARDAUNA OF SOKOTO is alive and is in our midst.But alas! Here we are wallowing in abject poverty, illiteracy, diseases, unemployment, nepotism, selfishness, hopelessness, frustration, insecurity, graft, and many more of these, respectively! This is what is currently taking place in your REGION SIR, BE INFORMED!
IĀ did not in the least, intend to inform you SIR, for I do not want to disturb you while you are there, lying down in your GRAVE. But I am compel to due to the gravity and degree of BASTARDIZATION AND ABSENCE OF TANGIBLE AND TRANSPARENT DEVELOPMENT IN THE NORTH YOU SUFFERED TO BUILT! Sir, be in the know that, we the youth of today are without ANY BEACON OF HOPE since your painful departure!
Those children of the POOREST OF THE POOR whom you selflessly sent abroad through the NORTHERN NIGERIA’S SCHOLARSHIP and after their graduation you gave them an instant employment! SIR, they are DENYING the same privileges to the youth of today, but apportioning it only to their kids and wards, and siblings of their wives, and their side girlfriends!
Sir, those that are SO LUCKY amongst the children of the poor to attain education are not been given an employment, today employment in LUCRATIVE PLACES are specifically RESERVE for their children, and for the HIGHEST BIDDER, and it is a case of whom you know and send you!Ā
Sir, they have since jettisoned away your NORTHERNIZATION POLICY! But there is one SIR AHMADU BELLO FOUNDATION IN KADUNA,purposely created and named after you, and they are REALLY REALLY trying to keep your VISION AND MISSION alive! And we are SALUTING THEIR EFFORTS!
We are yet in the state of MOURNING YOUR PAINFUL EXIT, really we have missed A BEACON OF HOPE in the Northern Region, devoid of you SIR. And we are still in wailing and sobbing of your passage,ššššš!!!
