mu2sa2: This man impresses alot. His children are attending public school - something almost unheard of among the elite. If Gej, ministers, governors, legislators and other politicians hav their children in gov't universities Assu strike wouldn't hav been allowed to drag on like this. Well, God will surely take care of the wicked. If a person like this is the Governor the state would fare better. Compare him with mister shoeless and u know who's the hypocrite. Even today u may find poor children in Otuoke going to school barefoot, when oga shoeless could easily have made the ugly sight history. This man has set a good example and may God bless him. Somebody may say this is politics, but l answer him with 'so what, this is good politics'.

Very good politics.

About 1800 students now wear sandals to school. That is a good thing, for the children at least, ni matter what the intention is.

Another poster mentioned that the man has always been an advocate of public school education for office holders' children.

and he is a good opposition member.

This is the kind of politician that Nigeria needs at all levels

Discovering and empowering the "golden eaglets" of Kastina

The Katsina State Minority Leader in the state house of assembly, Hon Abdullahi Mahuta had this touching story to share with us.......

Last week after the Sallah break, my two children, who I transferred to a public school in Katsina, said they would not go back to school with their canvas and sandal shoes. They insisted that they would only be wearing bathroom slippers to school because all their friends in the school are using same to school and that some come to school without shoes .

Initially I told their mother to allow them to use the slippers, but my little daughter advised: "Father, pls buy sandals for all the pupils in the school so that my brothers can also wear sandals". I thought I could not buy sandals for all the pupils in that school. I called the headmaster and asked him the number of students in the school. He told me they are about 800. After a rough calculation, I realized that it will cost about N230,000 only to buy a pair of sandals and white socks for every child in the school.

Alhamdulillah! Yesterday, by the will of Allah, I bought and distributed the sandals for all the 800 children in the school. And today we are also in sha Allah, we are going to distribute for all the students of another primary school at Tsamiya mai Lamba village, at Gora ward in Malumfashi LGA.

Just imagine, if only the 34 members of KTHA, 34 LG chairmen and the about 40 commissioners and SAs will do the same, over 100,000 pupils would be saved from the problems of (Sanyi, Kaya da kusoshin da ka iya ji ma yara ciwo) meaning thorns and cracked legs

I therefore call on you the people to insist that all public office holders enroll their children into public schools to be friends, help, give hope and play together with the children of the poor. among us.

Attached is his picture, putting on sandals for one of the pupils..we are indeed proud of this scion of the APC

Kurfi Abubakar

If we had most lawmakers having a mindset of this man, then we will somehow by in the right direction.

Unfortunately, we have fucktards like Jonathan that is only interested in helping convicts like Dan Etete loot the country of billions of dollars so his illiterate wife can carry it in suitcases abroad.

abes:

Though I'm an ex-Christian, but I don't want to believe God rewards evil with deaths, people die when it is their time to die e.g da'grin, goldie, dana air crash victims etc.

How then do w explain this? My grandmother is 108 years old (she was born in 1905), she still plays ball with my 2 year old boy. Going to about 40 years that I have known her, she has gone to hospital just 3 times. The last time she forced us to take her to hospital, she complained to the doctor that she gets tired whenever she walks about 1 kilometer, the doctor told her that he, the doctor was about 38 years old and he gets tired whenever he walks same distance.

Tinubu went abroad to do kneel surgery the other time, impatience Jonathan too died and resurrected in a German hospital, Atiku Abubakar went abroad to treat himself for falling down in his private gym, Mike Aikhigbe died in a foreign hospital. Mrs Clara Chime is in psychologically imbalance, but MY GRANDMOTHER IS STILL PLAYING BALL. Come to my house tomorrow if you want to play ball with my 108 years old grandmother grin grin

Former Sultan of Sokoto Maccido died in a plane crash, his son and grandson too died in the same crash. That same plane had 3 daughters of former Kogi state governor Idris the Carpenter, all the 3 daughters came out alive with no injury.

I love Obasanjo lipsrsealed lipsrsealed too but I hate the spirit of looting in his family blood, how did he get money to buy Eko or Ikeja distribution zone of PHCN? Remember Iyabo Obasanjo too has a pending case in court for looting while she was at the National Assembly. All looters shall be rewarded by God.

Apologies to fellow nairalanders who seem carried away by this political stunt. Anyway, the results of years of purposeless education will eventually show in the quality of a country's citizenry.

These are my thoughts;

1. Yes it seems worthy to commend the lawmaker but that's only because his singular actions amount to the proverbial one eyed man shining amidst the blind.

2. children having to school in an environment like most of our public schools is first because of what most of us are tired of hearing - corruption, ineptitude of our rulers, poor governance and all that. While it's true that even In the so called developed countries, there are still poor people, it's also true that the system gives everyone a fair chance and those who take their opportunities can succeed. this is not so in Nigeria. I need to go into the details here.

3. even if all law makers emulate him by providing free sandals for all Nigerian students, they won't solve the real problems stated in part, in item 2 above. buying sandals only attacks the symptoms NOT the problems. How on earth do new sandals impart on the quality of learning acquired by the children? Are teachers motivated to give their best? UNLESS WE ATTACK THE SYSTEM THAT MAKES THINGS SUCH THAT ALMOST ALL CHILDREN IN A PUBLIC DONT HAVE SANDALS TO WEAR, SUCH ACTIONS LIKE THOSE OF THE LAWMAKER ARE JUST FOR SCORING POLITICAL POINTS.

4. lawmakers are ridiculously paid to enact laws, inspire positive changes to society and so on. Question. how has he and by extension, his peers fared in this regard? I can go on but perhaps I have written enough...

5. I WILL CLAP FOR HIM OR ANY ONE IN HIS POSITION IF THEY DIRECT THAT HALF OR MORE OF THEIR RIDICULOUS EARNINGS BE CHANNELED TOWARDS FIXING INFRASTRUCTURE GENUINELY, MOTIVATING TEACHERS AND ADDRESSING THE ROT that led to the situation where a lawmaker donates sandals and almost attains sainthood... I REST MY CASE.

IBB has gotten part of his own reward because Maryam who stole with him and who did not advise him against looting the treasury has been taken away by death. Augustus Aikhiomu who also stole with IBB has been taken away by prostrate cancer. Jonathan lost his half brother, Dame Sheppopotamus lost her adopted mother to the road her husband refused to fix.

All those that turned our youths to kidnappers, yahoo-yahoo and armed robbers shall be rewarded. Abdulsalami and Akhigbe shared all oil blocks among themselves, Obasanjo had to cancel the allocation and re-allocated to himself (Obasanjo) and his co-looters. Obasanjo and Abdulsalami just bought Ikeja and Lagos distribution zones of PHCN using our stolen wealth, how much is the total of their life savings as military officers and ex-presidents that can now afford to buy PHCN? All those that are sucking the masses blood through looting of the common wealth shall be rewarded. Sanni Abacha, Wada Nas, Stella Obasanjo,
Segun Agagu, Sola Saraki, Fashola's father, Yisa Yuguda's sister, Patrick Azazi Owoye and others are gone, we are expecting other looters including Tinubu, IBB, Abdulsalami, Obasanjo, TY Danjuma, Jerimiah Oseni, Gbenga Daniel, Alao-Akala, DSP Alams, Joshua Dariye, Sani Yerima, the C-in-C (I no mention name oo), Theodora Orji, Segun Oni, Abubakar Audu, Stella Oduah and others to DO THE NEEDFUL by adding RIP to their names as God commands.


THIS LAWMAKER IS BLESSED HERE ON EARTH AND AFTER DEATH. I AM HAPPY FOR HIM. WHILE SOME RULERS ARE RECEIVING CURSES, HE IS RECEIVING PRAYERS.
this prayer is senseless I'll say, EVERY POLITICIAN is CORRUPT!!! Just pray for mass death everywhere and stop this naming, i can tell you confidently that the two Governors after DSP Alam. Are worse than him, infact Bayelsans love that man till date because he tried as much as possible to distribute the money to everyone, it was when he started having problems with OBJ that they came after him. . . Every Nigerian is corrupt! I've been in NNPC filing station since 6am because i wanted to buy kerosine, but all to no avail. They sell the product to only some special people and people who offer double of the stipulated amount. I can confidently say all Nigerians are corrupt!! Even you! The only difference is the degree of corruption, put an average Nigerian in the post of these politicians and they'll do the same thing. Instead of praying for some politicians to die, why not pray for CORRUPTION itself to die??
