On Antagonism and Stereotyping
Hadiza Wada, DBA …July 2, 2011
Comprehensive Solution to the Almajiri phenomena
Hadiza Wada, DBA …May 21, 2011
People need to understand that all members of any society have a right to a choice of any way of life, as long as it conforms to the local norms and values of their society. It is left to the authorities charged with general administration of the local community to find and make available avenues of making all members of their society productive contributors to the overall economic, social, and political dimensions. Formalization of the almajiri system of education, means that the government shows it cares what happens in the lives of every child under its watch. Full Article
Public Rights to Credible Governance
Hadiza Wada, DBA …February 5, 2011
Deliberate lying, especially when done to cheat, violate and or take away what rightfully belongs to a community and then squander it somewhere else where it was not meant to go, or does not belong is in itself wrong, even if the person who performed the act did not benefit from his wrong doing. What makes it even worse on the moral and ethical continuum, of course, is when the actor or performer of the act comes to directly benefit from that which he took away, stole, misapply or embezzle.

The effect of Elevating Satan’s rank
Hadiza Wada, DBA ...January 22, 2011
We had talked about the elevation of the status of Satan previously, without
expounding on that subject matter.
We will today tell you why that is key to understanding the weakening of the
moral bearing of those who hold that view, when it comes to the ability and
willingness to hold themselves in check, stressing acting righteously on the one
hand and firmly rejecting the spread of wrong conduct in any community on the
other. By acting thus we can
objectively agree that one has rejected that part of religious history that our
religious emissaries of scriptural religions have all taught, including his.

The Quest For Eradicating Corruption

Hadiza Wada, DBA ...December 24, 2010
If there is anything that makes conspiracy theories about the twin tower attacks believable it is the many legislations and acts that were literally forced through the U. S. Congress in rapid succession in the early years of the twenty first century that made it literally impossible to adequately deliberate and debate them before passing them into law. A more convincing reason to question the motive of such laws is the way they are being enforced where, for example, convicted felons have been used in FBI entrapment of law abiding U S citizens as well as immigrants who mostly fall within the protected populations under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Commemoration of Eidd
Hadiza Wada, DBA …November 20, 2010
It
is with great humility, and not malice that I set out to write about what
has turned out to be a great part of my contribution to my community as a
broadcast journalist. As a young Muslim woman who started an International
broadcasting career at the age of 26, I chose to produce a weekly feature
titled “Family,” to enable me work on dealing with some of the struggles in
life faced by multitudes of women trying hard to contribute within their
families and communities. I have come to understand after almost twenty
years producing that weekly feature for international broadcast to West
Africa that most issues that negatively impact on a family relates to the
unjust position and limitations ascribed to the womenfolk within the
relationship. These are some of the issues that I would like to share with
the public, especially Muslims.

Nigerian Embassy, Washington DC
Nigeria is desperately seeking a positive image today, especially within the United States and the world, given the recent Mutallab incident. When people say Nigerians are their worst enemies, you ask what they mean by that. Some recent experience demonstrated that very well. When “The Optimist Voice” organized a conference on Governance and Development in Nigeria on October 31, 2009 we invited a diverse audience and competent speakers to speak on issues of importance to Nigeria. We extended invitations for speaking at the occasion to both Nigerian Personalities in Government and out of Government, and also speakers from among U S Professors of Nigerian descent. We did not get a good response from the Nigerian speakers, only those in the U S responded positively. Full Article
Nigeria is at a crossroads presently. It is faced by a man made problem resulting in an anxious leadership situation. This situation was carefully designed by few self-serving people apparently in conjunction with organizations and interests that do not mean the country well. However, the blame should rest squarely on the people on the ground in Nigeria who deceived the nation by introducing a complicated self-serving scheme of Rotational Presidency at the last minute, after the formation of the most promising party to flag off democratic dispensation. Doing that openly at the formative stage may have pushed many potential members away to other parties. So the timing of the announcement must have been planned too. Full Article
The following article was first published online by both Amanaonline and Gamji in August, 2006. With the approaching party politics, we present it again.
Much
uncertainty remains on the horizon as Nigeria sets its eyes on elections
within a year. It is not unusual to see some shifts and decamping from one
party to another at this time. It is in fact healthy for the political
process to undergo such changes for political strategy. But the rate at
which that is happening now in Nigeria is phenomenal. Many reasons
immediately come to mind. One that is critical and looms big, is the way
politics was played within those seven years. The whole system became a
victim of itself. The ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP, became famous
for arm-twisting. Within years of coming to power, it used all its resources
to wage an all out war on the main opposition party, the All Nigeria Peoples
Part, ANPP. While some actions were normal political maneuvers, much of
what happened was conducted in a way that was not only illegal but
unconstitutional. After it crushed the opposition, it soon turned on
itself. Both parties came out weak, broken and suffering crippling
ailments.
