Dear Gov Nasiru @elrufai,

The security situation in Kaduna is worsening by the day, a clear indication of failure of your govt to secure lives & properties. This is all we can see from the surface. It might not be so completely, but as the chief security of your state, we

believe everything is in your hands. When the lives of people are not secured, I do not know what exactly will add value to them. In my most candid opinion, securing our lives & properties is more important than the Kaduna Urban Renewal. Have you been overwhelmed sir?

Have you given up on the insecurity challenges already? Today, no single person in this state feels secured. People go to bed not sure of what will happen to them before the next morning. The problems have been going up & the crimes emboldening.

I believe what we should focus on now is to channel every resources of the state to safeguarding people & their lives. Everything can wait, but securing lives can't. It is time we have state police 👮 that should be recruited in their millions to attend to our insecurity issues.

It is time every district, every area has a security outfit, patrol vans & motorcycles that go round 24/7 in search of criminals & patrolling every area. We are tired of this sorry state 😞. Nothing matters to us any more but our security. This, we must rise up together for.

@HQNigerianArmy

How can Kaduna state, a state with major institutions of the @HQNigerianArmy @NigAirForce be inundated with so much insecurity? Isn't this embarrassing & disappointing? What are we actually doing about that?

You all have failed the people, and you must wake up.

@PoliceNG

We want to have state policing immediately. The @PoliceNG are not enough in number & strength to face the multifaceted challenges we are facing. The @NigeriaGov should decalre a state of emergency in all the affected Northern states.

@MBuhari @ProfOsinbajo @DrAhmadLawan

@contactkdsg

All the good plans of the @contactkdsg, all the call for Investors, all the urban renewal won't be possible if there is no security in the state.

The Fake News merchants do not just do it for fun. The leaders of the fake news business do sponsor the so-many out of job young Nigerians & pay them some token to buy data, buy a day's meal & buy a power bank. With a cheap android phone, the space for spreading mischief is on.

The Govt isn't doing enough to take care of the so many challenges of the society. The poverty rate, unemployment & poor governance and insecurity are too much for a nation like ours to survive. At the end, we are only giving chances for mischief makers to sell every lie to the

people and they will buy. When leaders lost the goodwill of the followers, trust and confidence evade the led & leadership becomes a very big problem.

To all the leaders in Nigeria in whatever capacity, you are not doing enough. Do more for us, in your own capacities.

Please is there anything I am not getting on the issue of this Rahma Sauda lady? I know I have not been consistently following the most recent happenings on this street, thanks to some new developments. However, the little I gathered is what I will talk about. Correct me where I

go wrong. A random Hausa actress, which so many of you watch in your homes for entertainment displayed herself in a manner that the Islamic culture doesn't approve of. Obviously, she revealed part of her body, the same way some of you that play football display part of yours.

She wore a dress that revealed her Awrah, & some of you playing football also wear shorts that reveal part of your Awrah. Awrah is Awrah and sin is sin, whether it is committed by Sadau or Sadi. There was an illogical & counterproductive approach to correcting her, because

When we hear the word "Leaders", our minds quickly take us to the presidents, governors, senators, emirs, and so on. But we all are leaders in our own rights and we all will be questioned by Allah on what we have been given the responsibility to look after.

Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects.

A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and his children and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it.

Someone who is out of job is jobless. But it doesn't sound honorable to address someone who lost his job as jobless. My former Professor who moved to a major oil company to work in a developer country lost his job yesterday, & he texted me to say, "Abubakar, I am now jobless".

I had an awkward feeling when he said that, although it was followed by an emoji 🙂, I responded as thus:

"you are only out of job sir, but you can never be jobless...", & I told him how much we have benefitted from him & the world of engineering as a whole.

I don't think anyone will choose to be jobless, especially as the global economy pinches so hard.

May Allah bless our little efforts & provide us more genuine and legal ways to earn a living. May we all get the job of our dreams & make positive impacts when we do.

The challenge before every leader in Northern Nigeria today is how to secure the people you are leading. Forget roads & bridges, ghosts & dead bodies don't need them. When you can't secure the people you are leading, you have failed as a leader.

@GovKaduna

It is important to understand that there is little or nothing that matters to people when they're unsecured. They want to be secured before they can appreciate anything. To our Governors, especially @GovKaduna, @KTSGovt, @Zamfara_state, @NigerStateNG & others, this goes to you.

We had expected the Arewa House meeting to begin & end on insecurity, but it wasn't. A small portion of the discussion was what the Decision Note carried, although it was said that more than that has been discussed during the meeting. We sincerely want to believe so.
