Etsu Umaru Sanda Ndayako may have gone to rest, but left a footprint and a potential symbol which is Dr. (Mrs) Aishatu Gogo Ndayako.
Dr. Aishatu Ndayako is a symbol of Etsu Nupe Umaru Sanda Ndayako, she identified to some of us that only heard small about late Emir of Nupe kingdom. Her exemplary leadership is just a replica of her late father Etsu Nupe.
Detribalising your mind is when you realized that humanity is bigger than ability, then you are absolutely free from the frick of mind.
Dr. Aishatu Gogo Ndayako was given a small opportunity as a Director, in the ministry where numerous of our children have served as even zonal Directors but what we saw was mansions across our home land fa. Remember, no one doesn’t like a good thing but then, this woman shuns any form of desperation to acquire everything to her stomach and she embraces love for our land by extending her numerous gestures across our homeland.
She distributed about 10 quality roads,
She distributed about 15 transformers,
She distributed drugs across our hospitals,
She distributed boreholes across our schools,
She has been paying school fees for University students, Colleges, Post and Primary Schools,
She distributed street lights etc all from the little opportunity she had that transformed to a final peek that no woman in KinNupe has ever attained. This is just like her father the first Etsu Nupe to be an Executive Secretary to a President of Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Look, she’s never a politician but a serving civil servant that knew the pains of humanity above her personal interest of lost minds. This is why her joys keeps increasing day by day from Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Interior to a Permanent Secretary of Ecological within a year of her engagement by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. *Thanks Baba Agba e seun.*
Now, what makes Yogo a quality mother?
What is it that makes a mother? To me, it’s simple: they should love their child and care deeply about her or him. They should think about their child’s needs and act in ways that benefit the child while doing their best not to cause their child harm.
A mother is someone who wants her child to grow up to be a happy, healthy, successful adult. A mother pays attention to her child’s particular nature and responds to the specific needs of each child.
A mother accepts her child for who she or he is, and forgives her child for is mistakes, big or small. A mother is there for her child when he or she needs her, whenever that might be.
The truth is that, not every biological mother is up for the task. It’s easy to have a child; it’s not always so easy to care for one.
The good news is that, even though some biological mothers might be unable to do the job they’re meant to do, if we look around, we will most likely find some other women who will be happy to step-in to give us the mothering we need.
To all the mothers in the world, those who gave birth to us and those who didn’t, I want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate you. Your love, care and sacrifices will never be forgotten especially the ones Dr. (Mrs) Aishatu Gogo Ndayako volunteered to be rendering in the circle of KinNupe, Niger State and Nigeria as a whole.
Thanks so much Ma; *Nna Zakaman* May you live long and witness many more momentum of joyousness as you pilot the affairs of love for the sake of humanity, Amin!
Once again, on behalf of ILLEC Nupe Language Department, we say congratulations and happy Birthday Dr. (Mrs) Aishatu Gogo Ndayako on your 2024 meritorious Birthday.
