A Birthday Tribute To An Icon Of Purposeful Leadership

On the blessed occasion of the birthday of His Royal Highness, the Emir of Nasarawa, Alhaji Ibrahim Usman Jibril, hearts across the Emirate and beyond rise in gratitude to Almighty Allah for the gift of a life defined by service, intellect, and uncommon leadership.

His Royal Highness stands as a towering example of what leadership should represent: impactful, disciplined, research-driven, and administratively sound. Over the years, he has proven that true authority is not merely inherited or proclaimed, but earned through wisdom, character, and an unrelenting commitment to the well-being of the people.

The Emir’s reign reflects a rare blend of traditional values and modern administrative acumen. He is a leader who studies before he decides, who listens before he speaks, and who plans with the future firmly in view. His depth of research and attention to detail have brought clarity to governance within the Emirate, strengthening institutions, nurturing unity, and promoting peaceful coexistence among diverse communities.

Discipline remains one of the defining pillars of his leadership. Through personal conduct and public example, His Royal Highness has demonstrated that order, accountability, and moral uprightness are indispensable to sustainable progress. His palace has become a center not only of tradition, but of ideas, learning, and sound counsel.

As a loyal and proud son of the Nasarawa Emirate, I write this tribute with deep respect and personal conviction. His Royal Highness is not only our Emir; he is our teacher, our moral compass, and a source of enduring inspiration. His guidance has shaped generations, encouraged responsible leadership, and instilled pride in our shared heritage.

On this special day, we pray that Allah grants the Emir continued good health, strength, and wisdom to lead for many more years. May his reign remain a beacon of stability, progress, and enlightened traditional leadership.

Happy birthday to a monarch of substance, vision, and lasting legacy.

Alh. Sa'idu Umar
Turakin Nasarawa

THE ONDA EID SKIRMISHES, HON. MOHAMMED SANI OTTO AND THE FALSE NARRATIVE  My attention has been drawn to a viral video making the round on social media in which the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Trade, Industry and Investment, Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto was visibly sighted at Onda Eid Ground.  In the same video, one that was deliberately edited in part, to capture the area that presents a false narrative aimed at misinforming the unsuspecting public about what truly played out.  For the record, let me state that Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto chose to observe Eid-el Fitr prayer with his kinsmen at Onda, out of the love, respect and admiration he has for them, a usual disposition that characterizes him.  On getting to the Eid Ground, he was greeted by skirmishes involving loyalists of the Osu Onda, His Royal Highness, Alh. Abdullahi Kuku and Alh. Usman Ode, a one time contender to the exalted throne of Osu, as both were on ground. Typical of traditional tussles, in...

Public Outcry Trails Arrest of Barr. Dauda Yahaya Kana in Keffi by Kano Police Operatives  Legal Community, Civil Society Demand Immediate Release Amidst Allegations of Intimidation A wave of outrage and condemnation has followed the arrest of Barrister Dauda Yahaya Kana, a legal practitioner in Keffi, Nasarawa State, by operatives of the Nigerian Police Force from Dala Division in Kano State. The arrest, reportedly carried out at the behest of Hon. Mohammed Lawali, is linked to an ongoing land dispute—a matter already before a Nasarawa State court and under investigation by the Keffi Police Command. Observers are baffled by the extrajudicial nature of the arrest, especially considering that the land in question is situated in Angwan Kare, Keffi, and all legal proceedings and investigations are ongoing within Keffi jurisdiction. “I don’t know if jurisdiction actually means anything in the Nigerian Police lingo,” one commentator remarked online. “But someone needs to exp...
