    In an exclusive interview, former Kaduna Governor @elrufai tells me how he was nearly arrested on arrival in Nigeria, alleging a political witch-hunt. He also speaks on regretting his support for President Tinubu and his strained ties with NSA Nuhu Ribadu.

    Best career advice that I can give; Dont ever attach yourself to a person, a place, a project or an organization. Attach yourself to a mission, a calling, and a purpose only. That’s how you keep your power and your peace. Keep in mind that you are your own brand!

    I came across this video of these amazing bright young boys reading “labaran duniya” in Hausa, just the way we do it (plus some sarcasm and creativity). 😅❤️ Future star journalists in the making! I wish I could have access to them, jama’a a taimaka min, akwai wanda ya san su?
