I miss Nigeria.
By Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed
I am attending a week's training program at Kennedy School of Government,Harvard University,USA.
Thanks to my fb friends,I can stay informed,in spite of the intense nature of the program.But I miss home.
I missed Gov el-Rufai's rantings against Sen Shehu Sani over the loan with hugely- questionable value,to say the least.I hear of plans to lay off more LG staff and 21,000 teachers in my State, and I worry if anyone will be employed by KDSG by 2019.
I could not attend the opening of Buhari Support Organization's opening of its brand new Abuja office,and witnessing some opening skirmishes towards 2019.
I hear that "Southern Leaders of Thought" will meet to discuss a "Northern"position on restructuring,and I am thinking,which "Northern" position,since there are many.
I am reading of the death of 120 bandits in Zamfara following an ambush on soldiers,and I am praying that no innocents were among the dead.
I am reading of the death of many relations of friends,and praying for God's mercies on them.
Without you,my friends out there,this will be a tougher place to be.So from this distance,thank you all.
