Yarima the best beneficiary from creation of Zamfara State by late General Sani Abacha is the first democratically elected governor for two consecutive terms (1999-2007) during which he maliciously and cluelessly wasted the state's resources.
During his eight years he have succeeded in converting most of the innocent youths from central zone especially Gusau to political thugs that see no any value attach to education that will influence them to go to school. These youths both males and females prepare to always be at a political gathering where they will get small amount of money than going to school or any prestigious and lawfull business.
This man (Yarima) has been employing several evil tactics to deceive most peoples of Zamfara who are mostly suffering from religious gullibility, the man at some points has baselessly been terming his political opponents as infidels unjustly and maliciously for political and personal gain. Then, during his reign most of the Zamfara electorates majority of which are women considered him as saint, this man ( Yarima) during his first tenure brought one useless Italian (Italco) through who's company my dear state was mercilessly raped, Italco has been awarded several contracts by Yarima's administration especially in educational sector examples building racker Class rooms, offices and toilets in our secondary schools non of which now exist just ten years back.
Zamfara State is now the most backward compared to our sister states like Gombe, Bayelsa, Nassarawa, Ekiti and the rest, all of which were created the same year (1996), through out his eight years Yarima was not able to address even a single basic problem bedevelling the state example water supply has been one of the basic challenges of virtually all the major towns of Zamfara state Gusau the state capital inclusive Yarima finished his eight years willingly unable to address this challenge.
The most worrisome issue to all well meaning citizens of this state is that this man has been and is still negatively utilizing the gullibility of most of our helpless electorates and made himself Mr fix it a such all political office holders at national and state levels are his anointed candidates the criteria for which is to be an unshakable loyal servant to him over the detriment of peoples.
From 2011 to date Zamfara civil servants are the poorest civil servants through out the country because some are still collecting less than 10k as their monthly salary. Recently hundreds of our innocent people living in the rural areas of the state has been killed in a cool blooded murder and the current administration under yarima's anointed candidate leadership feel it not deem to take action until when the former senator Dan sadau wrote a letter and inform the C in C of the devastating condition.
Let me conclude this piece by reminding our educated youths the responsibility of enlighten our illiterates and so called educated illiterates electorates the sorry and dilapidated condition this man has taken our state to.
To be continued insha Allahu
Random Thoughts On Kaduna Teachers' Screening
Testing the efficiency of a serving teacher without classroom activities compares with testing the swimming capacity of fish in the mud. Teaching requires demonstration of knowledge and pedagogical skills. All that has been made public so far on Kaduna test items were instruments assessing knowledge of special subject areas. Only NCE Primary Education Studies in our Colleges of Education teaches the core subjects (English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies...). A good test should factor the training context in which the teachers were trained. Testing teachers on all subjects even if it is on Primary Two content may come with surprises. In-service training is one option between sacking and tolerating bad teachers. Some of us in the industry find it difficult to accept the assumption of 21,000 untrainable teachers in the teaching workforce of a given state. The only options in Kaduna are that one is either qualified or sacked. I have not seen any Tweet or Facebook update from ...
