THE BRIDGE

In life he was a force to reckon with... ...in death his legacy remains a guidance to those who hold power and those who seek power.        Republished by:  Echekwu Sunday Born in Katsina on March 5, 1943 to the late Mutawallin Katsina, Mallam Musa Yar'Adua, young Shehu was greatly influenced by his father's strength of character and capacity for leadership.

During the First Republic, Mutawalli served as a member of the House of Representatives, Federal Minister for Establishment, Nigerianisation and Training and later as Minister for Lagos Affairs. Shehu Yar'Adua was educated at Katsina Provincial Secondary School and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, U.K. He returned from Sandhurst in 1964 as a young second lieutenant not long before the Nigerian Civil War broke out.

REPUBLISHED BY ECHEKWU SUNDAY Enjoy the read.. “Before you go on a journey of revenge, dig two graves” – Confucius Fellow Nigerians, please, let me start this epistle with a tale I’m not sure I have ever told. On Sunday, November 9, 2008, I was at the Lagos Marina with some friends when my phone rang. And who was on the line? No other than the one and only Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, a man I call Uncle Adams for various reasons. He is about eight years older than me. We both come from the same Afenmai tribe of Edo State, though I’m much more affiliated and associated with the Yoruba people because of my birth in Ile-Ife, the cradle of civilisation, and the fact that my Mum is from Gbongan, a dozy town just a few kilometres from Ile-Ife. I have told the story of my Dad’s migration from Ihievbe, now in Owan East Local GovGovernment of Edo State, to finally settle in Ile-Ife, Osun State, possibly around 1944, like many restless men of his time. His decision to make his sojourn in Ile-If

YOU ARE UNIQUE IN YOUR OWN WAY, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE ONLY APPRECIATIVE. © Echekwu Sunday writes It is very disheartening to see people of these days complaining about one thing or the other, most especially, their stature/status in the society. I brings you message of hope today, this message can be seen by many people but only few will understand just like the biblical adage which says: Let him who've ear (s) hears; by implications, every being has ear (s) regardless the fact that some were unfortunate due to their respective natural tales. Some people are not appreciative at all just because of their selfish interest, I.e. they wants to be: Bill gate's son/daughter, some wants to be Dangote's or Dantata's son/daughter; madam, oga, e no dey work like that o, dem ma underwent some hard life before their goods arrived. Thank God theirs came, alike will yours. Accept who you're, where you finds yourself; do you know that what works for Mr Echekwu may not work for

Governor Ortom who gave the directive today at the Benue Peoples House Makurdi during a courtesy call on him by the new executives of the National Union of Benue State Students, NUBESS, said the remaining amount of about N130 million would be released in batches as resources permit.
