See how them dey rush our son Jonathan from the Delta. Well most of them abandoned you our son when you needed them most

Today, they are doing everything to lure you into their fold only to give you thesame treatment they gave you and before you say Jack, they all move into APC .

Most of them here abandoned you for their darling daddy while others are secretly standing on a snatched mandate

Gej our son, be careful, be careful like never before

Gej our son is a patriot and knows what is good for Nigerians. Maybe, just maybe he's on a course to rescue democracy.

Quite a good read. But then I keep wondering why Nigerians like Ata Ikiddeh who have had the opportunity of living in Western countries don't attract meaningful development, rather than use the audience they have to spew meaningless contents on social media

In 2024 and last year, I made two trips to China and through a recommendation, I had engagements with a consortium. While I can't go into full details, the issue is, the project needs a Nigerian JV partner, and it's been hard getting a business interest.

Aside banks, how does one contact legitimate business networks in Nigeria. Abuja precisely, and not motivational speakers who are only interested in valueless conferences.

The capex isn't too massive, and I basically don't have the institutional structure to engage top tier capital firms.

Imagine a world where routine blood tests no longer require a trip to the clinic. No waiting rooms, no needles, no appointments. Just you, at home, taking control of your health.

We can witness the first versions of this technology, but the promise is there, and some companies have already started to deliver results. Virtually painless blood collection is already possible with easy-to-follow instructions and compatibility with various lab tests.

The legendary Nigerian author Chinua Achebe once observed that “A functioning, robust democracy requires a healthy, educated, participatory followership, and an educated, morally grounded leadership.” This insight remains profoundly relevant to Nigeria’s contemporary political reality.

In today’s Nigeria, a fast-emerging political ideology is gaining traction—one that speaks directly to sustainable development, social welfare, and the deliberate strengthening of institutions as foundations for national progress. This ideology draws its inspiration from the leadership philosophy of Alhaji Abdussalam Abdulkarim Zaura, CEO of Zaura Energy and Founder of the A.A. Zaura Foundation.

The Zaura political ideology represents a notable shift in Nigeria’s political landscape. It blends democratic humanism with a pragmatic form of socialism that places the welfare of the ordinary citizen at the center of governance. At its core is the conviction that leadership exists primarily to uplift the human condition through deliberate and sustained social investment.

Unlike traditional political frameworks that often function like umbrellas shielding only those at the top, the Zaura ideology operates as a social safety net—designed to protect and empower the most vulnerable members of society. This philosophy is not merely theoretical; it is reflected in the extensive humanitarian interventions of Alhaji Abdussalam Abdulkarim Zaura through the A.A. Zaura Foundation.

These interventions include large-scale poverty alleviation initiatives such as multi-million-naira scholarship programs for disadvantaged students, widespread food security distributions, and a dedicated ₦200 million housing partnership aimed at providing affordable homes for low-income citizens.

By positioning humanitarian action as a prerequisite for governance rather than an afterthought, the Zaura ideology redefines the social contract as a practical and measurable commitment to human dignity.

Beyond social welfare, the Zaura political ideology places strong emphasis on the consolidation of democratic institutions through inclusivity and grassroots empowerment. It explicitly rejects the entrenched culture of political “godfatherism,” advocating instead for the strengthening of internal party democracy and local government capacity.

This commitment is evident in the provision of fully equipped party offices and operational vehicles to local party chairmen across 44 local government areas—an effort aimed at decentralizing political participation and ensuring that democratic processes are accessible to ordinary citizens rather than monopolized by elites.

The ideology also promotes participatory governance by deliberately integrating youth and women into political decision-making structures.

At the same time, it recognizes that democracy cannot thrive without security. In this regard, the donation of safety and operational equipment to the Nigerian Police Force reflects an understanding that protecting citizens is integral to sustaining democratic order and public trust.

Ultimately, the Zaura ideology bridges the divide between private-sector efficiency and public-sector responsibility. Drawing from his experience as a corporate leader and CEO of Zaura Energy, Alhaji Abdussalam Abdulkarim Zaura advances a model of pragmatic socialism—one that applies the discipline, accountability, and results-oriented mindset of business management to the execution of social programs.

This vision positions government as a catalyst for job creation, infrastructure development, and inclusive economic growth, fostering a level playing field where every Nigerian has the opportunity to thrive.

In the face of Nigeria’s multidimensional challenges, the Zaura political ideology stands out as a compelling blueprint for a new dawn—one that is already making a visible and growing impact across Kano State and the broader landscape of Northern Nigeria.

Nicely scripted. For sustainable development, African nations must create their unique path to progress and this involves knowing their true friends and allies.

China has demonstrated that respite colonization, that development is possible. Africa must not only learn from China, but should take opportunity the China-Africa collaborations is offering.
