ON KADUNA STATE $350M FOREIGN LOAN REQUEST                                   By:                Nurudeen Dauda              October 24, 2017 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com In my advise, the foreign loan request presented by Kaduna state government should and or must be either approved or rejected on its "merit" not "politics". In my view, I completely agree that , due process should and or must be strictly followed. Debt in itself is not necessary "bad", but what you spend the money on makes it " bad" or "good". If you borrow to sustain an ostentatious government life style or its over bloated bureaucracy is a "bad" economics, but if you borrow for infrastructure is a sound economics. The United States of America is the most indebted country in the world yet the number one economy in the world. Lagos state is...

THE POLITICS OF ACCENT                                        By:                            Nurudeen Dauda                            October 22, 2022 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com "The accents of our presidential candidates are terrible. Peter Obi has the worst of them all. If it was based on accent, I will vote Al-mustapha, but it goes beyond that"---Muhammad Kabina I quite agree with you that it is beyond just ones "accent". Luckily for us the four major contenders in the presidential election of 2023 as opined by some analysts have held public offices in this fourth republic. Let our judgements for who to vote as electorates be guided by the track-records of these candidates based on the offices th...

AN OPEN LETTER TO BULAMA BUKARTI                             By                Nurudeen Dauda                 20th February, 2026 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com  nurudendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com Dear Barr.(Dr) Bukarti, To begin with, I hope this letter gets to you in good health through the power of social media. Permit me to "comment" you on your many previous good works in terms of advocating for Justice, Good governance and Security in our dear country. We need strong voices like yours, but with moderation, neutrality , balance, unbiased and fair. Politics is a very complex game. It is a game of all possibilities. Yours requires neutrality always. It is apt to state that, Analysis should be on "issues" not on "personality". Legal analysis should be based on "facts/evidence" not on "personality" and Public Affairs...

DIRECT PRIMARY: MY THOUGHT                                 By:                 Nurudeen Dauda                 18th October, 2021 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To start with, ideally political power is an ave CC  nue for bettering the lots of your people, but unfortunately in Nigeria it has largely become a business where you can invest and make a supernormal profit. Unless and until we largely change the situation to that of a service delivery we will hardly get out of the woods. The delegate system or indirect primaries have since become cash and carry. Our delegates for primary elections know that most of the candidates contesting for one office or the other are political investors who upon their victory will recoup their investments first and thereafter quintuple their retu...

ATIKU'S TARGETED SUBSIDY VS CNG BUSES & 30 DAYS FUEL SUBSIDY                        By:             Nurudeen Dauda            8th October, 2027 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com I am highly pleased to note that, for the first time in many years from the return to democracy in 1999 our electioneering campaigns for 2027 general elections is becoming an Issue- Based -Campaign rather than the usual years of unfortunate campaign of calumny especially, from 2014 through 2023 general elections. The present Subsidy debate clearly shows that it is possible as well as doable for commuters in Nigeria to get cheaper transport fares. It also shows that healthy political opposition is a necessary ingredient in democracy and is badly needed in Nigeria. Nigeria has waited for too long for Good governance due to weak political opposition...

WORLD TEACHERS' DAY: TEACHERS NEED THEIR REWARD ON EARTH                               By:               Nurudeen Dauda               5th October, 2026. nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com  nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To start with, in Nigeria there is a popular saying which states that teachers' reward is in the heaven. This literarily means that no matter the amount of money one pays to a teacher it will never be enough as compensation to a teacher when compares with the value of the services he or she renders to your child or children.  In my view, teachers should be paid as much as bankers in order to attract the best brains into the profession. They deserve to be well compensated. In deed , teachers deserve their rewards both "here" on earth and in the "hereafter". It is sad to note that, the welfare of the Ni...
