When His Ways is Not Our Ways… By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

One thing I have come to learn about religion is the mystery associated with it. No man can influence the decree of God, the Quran was apt when it says, ‘ And Allah guides whom he will to the straight path’. Q 2: 213( tail end of verse) Somewhere in my village of Adeh in Olamaboro, this mystery happened. A boy of 19 born into a Christian family got converted to Islam willfully. No one talked to him about Islam but the sermons that blared through the public address system…

Deconsecrating ABU Zaria’s Degrees. .. By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Tired perhaps of its conservative stagnation in motivating students with what they deserve, ABU Zaria is back to reality by joining progressive universities in awarding first-class degrees to her deserving students. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read ABU produced over 182 first-class degrees! What happened, what has changed, and who are these students who defied the clutch of heaven standards by breaking the stifling bars of our lecturers who indecorously boasted that first class degree is for God while 2.1 is theirs and 22 grade for the most…

Do Not Hurry Your Expectations… By Abdullahi O Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

What I don’t eat is what you eat, what you don’t eat is what I eat- our common ground, however, is the toilet; at the end, we shall empty our bowels. The person who didn’t help you won’t go broke or get punished, the point is that he wasn’t the one destined to help you- your helper is on the way- na you no get patient.   I once dragged to sit in the front seat of a friend’s car, las las it started raining and the side glass of…

The Resurrection of Muhammadu Buhari… By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

He was pronounced dead by those with credible inside sources, a Professor in Atlanta swore to high heavens that President Muhammadu Buhari had died. His satanic audacity was later corroborated by Nnamdi Kanu. So sure were these two young Nigerians that they rechristen him Jubril of Sudan! In blind posture, they dissected the man in pictorial frame- using every part of the man’s body to frame and illustrate their fallacy. Tragically, millions of supposedly educated people bought into the narrative, and the story of Jubril of Sudan gained its desired…

Tinubu And The Gruelling Waves Of Discord In Kogi State By Abdullahi O Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

It’s been a smelly downpour of needless torrential rain of strife, discordance, and political tension in the confluence state of Kogi, the state that sits as the epicentre of Nigeria- bordering about nine other states in Nigeria. You can’t get to the north or south of Nigeria without passing through this state- it should ideally be codenamed ”The Gateway” state. In the past, it was characterized by a grim reflection of negative energies, plagued by thuggery, violent crimes, and intertribal animosity. However, in recent years, this bleak trend was reversed,…

Destiny killers at the Gate… By Abdullahi O Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

A Must read…   They are ordinary Nigerians like us, they mount the gates to offices where our opportunities abound. Just like you, they are out at their duty post to get their daily bread. Tragically, they exist as destiny killers- deny people legitimate entry to fixed appointments. Severally, I have had my appointments truncated because of the actions of the men at the gate. Because they see the gate where they mount as their own kingdom of power , they exert power over zealously.   The second set of…

WHEN MEMORIES BECOME HISTORY , by Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

The ghost of my yesterday keeps haunting me Endlessly as I struggle in mitigated perspiration To erase the memories of you. Every echo reminds me of ur suppressed giggles, As they flutters like butterflies .   Some pasts are better not lived As they become a nagging stare to the present Show me a man without a past And I will withdraw from the anguish of my yesterday Destiny and fate conspired To create two separate abodes for its inhabitants But the pulse of love Refused the limitations of fate…

Mr. President, You owe Tinubu more than this… By Abdullahi O.Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

At the venue of the All Progressives Congress party convention in Lagos in 2014, all was set by the duo of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to define your end politically. They came prepared to pull the rug off your feet but one man -only one man saved you. The man is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu! Sensing the clandestine onslaught against you, he rolled out his political canopy and got you enveloped, thereby shielding you from the dangerous arrows of defeat. You came victorious because this man used…
