I refer to the page 21 of the Daily Trust of the 23rd of January, 2019 with the aforementioned caption . However, permit me to rejoice with the good people of Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State on the occasion of the recent Federal Executive Councils approvals for the rehabilitation of New Busa -Kaiama federal road which is both in Niger and Kwara states.

I once had a course to write a piece in the Daily Trust of 15th March, 2018 on the continuous suffering of the good people of Kaiama LG after I read a story in the Daily Trust of Monday, 5th March, 2018 on the issue of bad roads which I knew about ten years ago when I served as a "corps member"during my NYSC in Government Day Secondary School, Kaiama.

In the said piece, I observed that , the people of Kaiama LG knows "little" or "nothing" about the existence of both the state and federal governments in terms of roads constructions, maintainance , and rehabilitations.I have also pleaded with the authorities both the state and federal governments to come to the aid of the suffering people of Kaiama LG.

It is my great pleasure to note that, one of the said yeanings has been answered by the federal government by approving the rehabilitation of New Busa -Kaiama road. I had argued somewhere that my conscience will hardly forgive me, if I don't share their "pain" with me over their decades of neglect by the authorities. For Kaiama people are very hospitable.

Plying the rough -dusty road of Kaiama from whichever axis is very pathetic. There are three access roads to Kaiama, all first generation federal roads and all in deplorable states.

The roads from Kaiama-Illorin; Kaiama-Kusobosu; Kaiama-Bode Saadu; Kaiama -Kisi; Kaiama- New Bussa etc., are all in terrible states. From Illorin to Kaiama is "Hell". An ordinary journey of about 3 hours, might take you about 7 hours due to bad roads.From New Busa to Kaiama is another "Hell".

Kaiama LG has weekly Yam markets at Kaiama, Gwarya, Aboki, Dageji, Kara, and Lara etc.,which are terribly affected with bad roads. Rehabilitations of Kaiama roads could help the federal government's Yam export drive due to its Yam fortunes. Kaiama LG could contribute a lot with good roads in place.

Kaiama is a farming community with huge potential of "Yam" farming. Kaiama is said to be the largest producer of "Yam flour" in North Central Nigeria. Yam is grown all year round in Kaiama. It has a fertile land which does not even need fertilizer.

Kaiama Development Association argues thus: "This decision of the council is so far the biggest development effort that has come the way of the people of Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State since Independence ..."

Once again, permit to rejoice with the good people of Kaiama. May the Almighty Allah make the project a reality. 

May God bless Nigeria!

ISRAEL V. PALESTINE :THE HYPOCRISY OF TWO STATES SOLUTION                             By:                 Nurudeen Dauda                October 19, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict"-Martin Luther King, Jr. Permit me to add my voice on the ongoing massacre of women, children, and armless civilians in Palestine. In my thought, it is not about who triggers the present massacre of the Palestinians , but it is time to talk about the 76 years of massacre of women, children, and the armless civilians of Palestine by the state of Israel which is being watched helplessly by the entire world. Before 1948, the Jews worldwide lived predominantly outside Palestine.They lived predominantly in easter...

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY                                By:                          May 19th, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com Barring any last minute changes a "bill" for the recognition of an independent candidacy will be transmitted to Mr president for his "assent". In my thought, if the "bill" is finally "signed" into law it will largely "checkmate" the "excesses" of "governors" and "moneybags" politicians who often denied "credible" candidates "tickets"in order to pave ways for their "anointed" ones no matter their weaknesses. In our modern day politics, we have had enough cases where "credible", "competent", and "popular" candidates loss primary elections due to lack of "money" or "godfather" or state governor's anointment.  In my thought, allowing independent...

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES                         By              Nurudeen Dauda                May 5, 2019 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To begin with, there is now an alleged "drug cartel" in our airports which specialised in planting drugs on unsuspecting airtravellers. Of the six alleged members of the drug cartel arrested in connection with planting of Tramadol in a bag bearing Zainab Habibu Aliyu's name, three were said to be "clearing agents", two were said to be staff of a"security company" and one a staff of an "airline handling company". In my observation, the arrest of Miss Aliyu in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in respect of 2000 packs of "Tramadol" said to be found in a bag bearing her name has nothing , but succeeded in exposing our institutional weaknesses.Heads shoul...
