Islam is a false religion. I only respect them for the sake of peace to reign bt i hate them intoto. God will always bless His Christain children

Nkonadi:


Did u hear of such news?...

yes, we did.

Right from the HEADING "KADUNA MUSLIMS" i strongly desagree. If they were christians it would be report "SOME PEOPLE" why can't the media report bad news and bad people the way it is rather than using religion sentiment to causes division
RIP to Yakowa

BetaThings:
Buhari went to Bayelsa and was stoned. Jonathan was not stoned in Katsina
Gov martin Elechi said no one should campaign in his state of Ebonyi. He relented only after people protested

Let me clarify another matter. Some people said no party thought it fit to make a SE person a VP.
Buhari did severally in the past and Atiku did in 2007
in 2010, the SE people warned any Igbo man against accepting to become anyone's VP having decided they would vote enmasse for Ebele Azikwe Jonathan

So he gave up and somehow you want the People to vote him? would you vote a man that does not have you in his plans? All ss/se is made up of 2 states only huh?

BetaThings:
Some Christians were happy when Yaradua died

Of course some were, but that's not what the man was saying. Can't you comprehend simple English? And what's ? Gossip maniacs is your source?

BetaThings:
So there is some element of truth in the rumour that Jonathan bought a jet for Pastor Oritsejafor?
Should we mention more rumours?

As for rejoicing after Yaradua's death

Chris†Kid:

Abegi go sleep joor. Me and my likes? I just registered new, go through my posts to know if i had accused muslims for celebrating Yakowa's death. If re not a coward i think you know whom you'll be directing your anger at. Facts remains it's not beyond you People to celebrate yakowa's death. Who were those rejoicing after 9/11 again? Hindus?

People who think like you are your ilk whether you register tomorrow or the day before. Obviously, you lack discernment. That is why this thread is something you would like to promote even when it is obvious it is in poor taste. Reasonable people have since shut it by not posting inflamatory comments, you are here showing your lack of class. Great way to announce your entry to Nairaland.

torkaka:
I think they know exactly what they are doing

Yes indeed, but wisdom is profitable to direct.
REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS. AGAIN, I SAY, REJOICE!!give no room to sadness, thats the way to go..
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither is their any fruit in the vines, or the labour of the Olive fails and the fields yield no meat........YET, I WILL JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION, WHO IS MY STRENGTH ....AND HE, WILL MAKE MY FEET LIKE HIND'S FEET AND WILL MAKE ME TO WALK UPON MY HIGH PLACES!!

la furia:
the christians celebrated when yardua died and yakowa become governor. do u reside in kaduna at all.? muslim are heartless and the christians are wat? if the governors were muslims, you will NEVER had cared......so please stop forming saint here. celebrating someone death is wrong but i want you christian fanatics to stop being hypocrite.....

dont be silly!
they celebrated that finally one of their own (a christian was finally becoming a Governor in Kd)
how can you say they were celebrating yaraduas passing
are you freaking kidding me?
educated f@@l

wat ever is it dat the muslm ar tinkin....d should b careful nt to turn kaduna into battle field.....peace an gud leadership is wat we ar lookin for nt a xtian or muslm leader

reading all the replies make me ashamed to be called a Nigerian
I am out of here

[b][/b]

jamil!:
The next topic on board should read who killed yakowa? Believe me because commitee on this issue have start their work and funds will allocated to them sharp sharp another avenue for making easy euro I tell you.

An easy question. PDP sacrificed some of their own and they will continue to do that as long as the corruption continues. Even misrule has a price. The helicopter crash is just one instalment. ( I mourn the loss of Yakowa, he was misled into working with criminals).

Chris†Kid:
Southern Christians no celebrate when Yaradua died and Gej took over?

say the truth and shame d devil. Dont Jst say tings u yourself knw is a lie. Pls fear God even for once

DEATH IS A GARMENT WE WILL ALL WEAR ONE DAY.IT IS ONLY YAKOWA THAT CAN NOT DIE PHYSICAL DEATH AGAIN NEITHER CAN HE FILLS THE PAINS OF DEATH AGAIN,REST IN PEACE MY GOVERNOR

Chris†Kid:

So he gave up and somehow you want the People to vote him? would you vote a man that does not have you in his plans? All ss/se is made up of 2 states only huh?

I gave only 2 examples to show the hate that preceded the election.
As he was campaigning, people were maligning him in the press.

Jonathan has been talking about fairplay in the elections. Was there fairplay when Buhari was prevented from havimg access to choice campaign venue by state governors who were campaign mangers for Jonathan?
Did Anenih need to threaten to expose people who might NOT vote for Jonathan? Jonathan was there when he said that
Look around nairaland - Chrsitians are quick to lambast Islam if anything happens in Dubai, Doha where they live peacefully
But let there be a massacre in Argentina, Mexico, Uganda, Rwanda, they don't report it. Neither do they relate it to religion

I don't expect fairness from Christians. I just want to record facts so that when people start telling tales others can remember the truth and there might be some Christians who can still have room in their hearts fro objetivity

diamondprince: wat ever is it dat the muslm ar tinkin....d should b careful nt to turn kaduna into battle field.....peace an gud leadership is wat we ar lookin for nt a xtian or muslm leader

So what are the Christians thinking?

Chris†Kid:

That is the difference. A Muslim does not pronounce guilty based on rumours
Perhaps your own style suits you. I prefer to accuse only the guilty based on facts

YES WOO THE SAME WAY CHRISTIAN CELEBRATED THE DEATH OF MUSA YARADUA ! DO me I Do you GOD no GO VEX

Chris†Kid:

Of course some were, but that's not what the man was saying. Can't you comprehend simple English? And what's ? Gossip maniacs is your source?

No. I cannot comprehend simple english

What is the difference between and Nairaland? Both are anonymous

Chris†Kid:

And what's ? Gossip maniacs is your source?

Chris†Kid:

among every rumor there's element of truth in it.

You are good Christian! Heaven is sure for you.
Gossip is not to be believed! Every rumour has an element of truth!
2 contrasting principles - use one to attack Muslims; use the other to defend Christians

Not true.
Christian celebrated the swearing in of Jonathan which was on the day of Yaradua's death
It took Jonathan months after Yaradua's death to appoint Sambo VP which made Yakowa governor
Don't confuse the two

what inflamtory comments did i make? I said earlier that those accusing you kaduna muslims of celebrating yakowa's death might have done the same whdn yaradua died so how is that inflamatory? You should've taken my advice and go to sleep. Am not talking to you again.

This is an accurate representation of our deceased governor, Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa, 1948 – 2012 - A fitting Tribute by Dr. Hakeem Baba Ahmed....thank you Hakeem, and may the souls of the departed rest in peace. Amen
Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa - A Tribute....WRITTEN BY DR. HAKEEM BABA AHMED ( A MUSLIM )

“We are tomorrow’s past” Mary Webb.

How do you write, in a few hundred words, about the life and achievements of a man whose character and destiny were shaped by remarkable humility, faith and a hefty push from God? The answer is you don’t. You could sketch landmarks and turning points, and paint a general picture that should do justice to facts and history. But it is even more difficult to do this if you the man is related to you, in some ways.

Patrick Yakowa has been my friend for 25 years, since the day we were sworn-in by Colonel Dangiwa Umar (Rtd) as Permanent Secretaries in the Government of Kaduna State in 1987. We bunked together in a government guest house for four months while our houses were being renovated. The four of us, Yakowa, Mr Barnabas Pikawi, Mr Tanko Tete, (now Chief of Kaninkon in Jemaa Local Government Area) and I, bonded under a challenging atmosphere in which we were trusted with so much responsibility in a state that was beginning to show all the promises of becoming the nations religiou’s battlefield. When Dangiwa Umar alerted the nation that it catches cold whenever Kaduna sneezed, we knew what he meant. We were part of a virile civil service that still operated largely within the traditions of the civil service of old, and we knew that Kaduna State held the key to the future of the nation.

Since then, our paths parted and crossed many times. Patrick and Bulus James, who was our senior in the hierarchy of Permanent Secretaries were the only ones who declined to convert to Directors-General from Permanent Secretaries, or revert back to positions of Directors, as demanded by decree 43 of 1988. He left the state civil service and joined the federal civil service, with much encouragement from the late Wazirin Jamaa, Alhaji Aliyu Mohammed. It proved to be a decision that was to give him a new lease of life in the federal service. Patient, intelligent and hardworking, he made the rounds in Department and Ministries. By the time I joined him in the federal civil service in 1992, he was a full Director. He and I were to work again in Kaduna State, he as Commissioner for Commerce and I as Special Advisor on Parastatals under Colonel Lawal Jafaru Isa. I left after a year because I had no place in that administration, and returned to my federal civil service position. He stayed on as Commissioner until the end of Col. Isa’s administration, serving, as usual, with distinction. He was posted to the Ministry of Defence, Lagos as Director, Joint Services Department (JSD), while I was recalled back to Kaduna to serve as Secretary to Government of Kaduna State (SSG) under Colonel. Hameed I. Ali.

In 1998, while still a Director, Alhaji Gidado Idris, GCON somehow convinced General Abdullasalami Abubakar to appoint him a Minister, and he was assigned to the new Ministry of Solid Minerals. That rare feat, to have a civil servant in his career appointed a Minister, put Patrick squarely in the limelight, but he held his own, making major strides towards giving that Ministry which had so much potential to transform the non-oil extractive industry and benefit the north in particular, a solid foundation. At the end of Col. H. I Ali’s administration, I resumed my federal service career, and was assigned to take over the Department which Patrick had left to become a Minister, J.S.D in the Ministry of Defence. I therefore succeeded him directly.

In 1999 General Abdussalami appointed 16 new Permanent Secretaries. Again Patrick and I were in the list, the only two from one state. Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu, now Chief Servant and Governor of Niger State was on the list as well, and he christened us the sweet sixteen, partly owing to the our relatively younger age as Federal Permanent Secretaries, and partly, I think because we had beautiful and intelligent people like Amal Pepple in the group. Patrick was still serving as Minister, and I remember pleading with him many times to relinquish the Ministerial appointment and take up his more secure position as Permanent Secretary before the military handed over. I worried that civilians are not going to be well-disposed towards a Permanent Secretary who ceased to be a Minister today and becomes a Permanent Secretary the next day. Somehow, in spite of his promises to do so, he did not.

One of the first acts of President Obasanjo in office in 1999 was to suspend all appointments, contracts and awards made by the Abdussalami administration pending review. That included all appointments of new Permanent Secretaries, but this was later reviewed to include all serving Permanent Secretaries. All of us were directed to submit to a “re-orientation” programme, at the end of which many were retired. Patrick was one of them, and without doubt, his record as a civil servant Minister must have counted against him.

For the first time in his life, he was in the job market, but not for long. He served with the National Economic Intelligence Committee until 2003 when Governor Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi appointed him Secretary to State Government (SSG). From that point on, it would appear that fate and divine hands took firmer control of his life. It is not easy to serve as SSG in a democratic setting. You run into too many obstacles, and your job tends to be nibbled constantly by a opportunists and appointees with little to do. But he did well enough to retain the confidence of the Governor to be appointed Deputy Governor when Shekari died. For this, the Governor must have felt that he satisfied the key requirements for a Deputy Governor: transparent loyalty, absence of an overt political ambition and lots of patience. A technocrat to the hilt, he stayed in his own corner, and must have endured the inherent frustrations of all Deputy Governors better than most of his colleagues because Makarfi was able to transfer him intact to the new Governor, Namadi Sambo. Death played a role in his elevation, but his patience and forebearance allowed him to retain his position.

Death again had a say in his next move. The elevation of Goodluck Jonathan as President, and the consequent move of Namadi Sambo to Abuja as Vice President made Patrick a Governor. Serving the rest of Namadi Sambo’s term was not really a challenge. The real challenge was to win his own election, and it was in the run-up and preparations to the gubernatorial elections that I saw how much our political process can suck in even the best among us into its murky and destructive waters. A man of peace who hated stepping on toes, Patrick’s contest for his own term as Governor, an event that could prove that southern Kaduna people can have their own in Kashim Ibrahim House, not by accident, but by right, was bitter, divisive and extremely damaging. The elections elevated religion and region as decisive factors more than any other time; and the riots which followed the announcement of results, at least in Kaduna had much to do with the combustion which was bound to follow the dangerous pandering to faith and other primordial sentiments in the campaigns. The uncanny similarities between the political paths of Jonathan and Yakowa were noted by many people, and this may explain the close rapport which existed between them.

From day one, Yakowa governed a massively polarized state, although he wanted to unite the people and run an all-inclusive administration. Constantly on edge, major conflicts took place around the elections, during the subsidy removal protests, after church bombings and on a number of occasions. He alienated the few Muslims who thought he could be firm and decisive by the tragically-slow response to the massacre of hundreds of Muslims in Zonkwa. He alienated christians who thought he favored Muslims in Jemaa by “protecting” them during conflicts; or by not protecting villagers in Zonkon Kataf and Kaura and Birnin Gwari LGAs from marauding murderers. In spite of unprecedented visible evidence of southern Kaduna indigenes in top positions, “his” people felt he had done too little for them. Substantial part of the population in the northern part which expected little from him anyway moved further away from his administration, and his sole anchor remained the Emir of Zazzau, with whom he had maintained a life-long respectful relationship.

The frontline status of Kaduna State in the fight for supremacy between religions in the north was compounded by the incursion of the JASLIWAJ (a.k.a. Boko Haram) insurgency. A governor who had all the experience and credentials to make a major difference in the economy of the state found himself literary fighting against its collapse between stopping fights, paying for security and looking around for support which did not exist. The state’s economy shrunk; businesses relocated, new investment dried up; motorists to or through Kaduna phoned in advance to make sure routes are safe; communities became more segregated along religion and sect, and politics became more bitter. The last hurrah, involving the claim that PDP won all but 1 of the 23 Local Government Chairmanship seats in the state showed clearly that PDP hawks are firmly in control of the Yakowa administration, and the 2015 elections will be a very bitter fight. He fought on many fronts, including many attempts to pitch him against Vice President Namadi Sambo, and against many parochial interests.

But for Patrick, all that is now in the past. History will note Patrick as a good man who had no trace of malice in his character. He was, in fact, ill-suited for the type of politics we play in this country, but once he was in it, he gave it his best. The hand of God which was so prominent in his life is again evident in the manner of his death. His life, Amina, and family will take comfort from being part of the life of a man who just wanted to do good. In the context of what we have become as nation, this saying a lot for any man.....CLEARLY WRITTEN BY A KADUNA MUSLIM INDEGINE...

my friend forget this your long story. Nobody stopped buhari from campaiging in the south or east. He thought northern votes alone would be sufficient for him. Am not going to vote for man that has no plans for me or my region. No sensible person would. He just turned 70, happy birthday to him. Let him go and retire.
