Written By  Dr. Aliyu U. Tilde 22 September 2020 Elrufa’i and the Next Emir of Zazzau   The last colonial Governor of Northern Nigeria, Sir Bryan Sharwood Smith, was the District Officer (D.O.) of Zaria when the Emir of Zazzau, Ibrahim Kwasau, died in 1936. Sharwood Smith, not the Resident, contrived the emergence of Jafaru as the new Emir. To understand how he did it and what may be going on in the mind of the present Kaduna State Governor regarding who will emerge as the next Emir of Zazzau, we need to understand the personality of Sharwood Smith, for Malam Nasiru El-rufaí is, as it were, Smith-reincarnate. So, the present Governor is likely to behave the same way Sharwood Smith did under similar circumstance. In The British in Northern Nigeria, Robert Heussler, found Sharwood Smith and John Hinton Carrow as the most effective D.Os that Northern Nigeria ever had. He spent pages describing their personalities and the modernizing effort in Zaria, Kano, Argungu and ...

Every Couple Read this. My wife and I boarded a bus to Akure one certain day. We were both seated at the back seat talking and laughing over some issues. We loved to gossip a lot. It had become so used to us. And because we were so used to each other, we playfully teased each other with insults we didn't mean. My wife said something that annoyed me. But because we were both in the bus, I could not react. I called her an ugly woman so as to get back at her. I told her she looked like ogbanje's grandmother. "Don't even talk to me till we come down from this bus." I spoke with all seriousness. "Yes and you too. Don't talk to me." She retorted. "Fine. Let's see who talks to who first. We shall see." She knew I was angry, and she was also angry at me too for taking a mere joke serious. We stopped talking and simply sat like strangers in the bus. When we got to a park, the bus stopped and this very handsome looking guy entered the...

I was thinking this afternoon..... about our speed in this race of life. Last Sunday, I was privileged to attend the wedding of the daughter of my good friend and former classmate in the College. As I sat as part of the guests at the reception, listening to the proud MOB (mother of the bride) giving her speech, I reflected on how far we've come as former classmates in school. I considered how her children are of marriage-able age (the youngest just turned 20), while mine are still teenagers. I recalled another classmate of ours whose son just graduated as a medical doctor, but mine just about entering the University. As I pondered on why it seems I am lagging behind, the face of another of our class...
