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 avenue 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 returns on inv...

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...

NIGERIA@66: WHICH WAY FORWARD?                                 By:                  Nurudeen Dauda                  1st October, 2026  nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To begin with, today marks an additional year for our dear country, in my view, a day like this should be a day for "sober reflection" instead of a day for "celebration" and or a day for "merriment". Permit me to say as a country and as a people let us "reflect" on the journey thus far and see where we have gone wrong and make "amends" and or "retrace" our steps. Certainly things are not really well. At sixty - six years of independence of our dear country we are certainly not at "where" we should be in view of our both abundant human and natural resources. Basic needs is still a major problem to the grea...

EMIRS' SANUSI II VS AMINU ADO BAYERO'S POWER TUSSLE: IS ANY SOLUTION IN SIGHT?                            By:                 Nurudeen Dauda                29th September, 2026 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com  nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com  nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To start with, the present "power tussle" on Kano emir's throne has lingered too much because of the politics involve in the tussle through both visible and invisible hands from within and outside Kano State. It is obvious that Kwankwaso vs Ganduje political rivalry is at the center of it from the onset. The Kano APC vs NNPP's politics sustains the tussle for a while.   Soon after the defection of Governor Yusuf many people thought the tussle will soon be over. Even more so, the commissioner of information of Kano State has earlier on hinted that following the defect...

THE POLITICS OF CNG BUSES                             By:              Nurudeen Dauda             19th September,2026 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com  nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com To begin with, the federal government has just announced its plans to provide a cheaper transportation system for commuters in collaboration with the Nigerian Governors' Forum using the Compress Natural Gas (CNG) Buses across the country from 1st October, 2026 as a counter reaction to the campaign promise made by the former Vice President Alh. Atiku Abubakar to restore a targeted fuel subsidy if elected in 2027. We really need a healthy political opposition in order to keep the government on its toes. So, commuters in Nigeria can now get cheaper transport fares? But why now? Courtesy of healthy political opposition. But food inflation is now a major issue as a result of fuel subsid...
