Please go a step further to let ordinary voters come across this article, as most of them can’t access it, the way it is now. May be the opponents of these greedy governors should translate it for their voters. These state governors deserve far more than your criticism, except may be the one of Kano state.

I am impressed that even as a woman, you think the way I do. I love your views on the greedy governors and I’m proud of you. May Almighty Allah continue to be your strength amin.

No matter how hard you try to educate people towards this opinion, it will be very hard for people to buy this great idea.

A well-written opinion, how I wish they will listen with their heart.
Thank you Aisha.

You have spoken the minds of ordinary Nigerians with this write-up Aisha. I was really impressed and wish that more women writers can dedicate their time to such issues. We will insha Allah vote against these undemocratic governors in the forthcoming elections, while hoping that the exercise will be free and fair.

I really enjoyed your column this Saturday, but you could have mentioned some greedy senators like David Mark and Bello Hayatu Gwarzo, who are going for their fourth or fifth terms.
The shame of being a Nigerian:
Thanks for your educative, instructive and thought-provoking article of the above title. It is really gratifying to know that we have people who care enough and air their views so clearly on such issues. It was highly analytical. Well done.

The Jewish symbol might have been removed from our national flag but more disturbing are those established in Northern Nigeria’s way of life. The North’s coat of arms has a modified Star of David on it and subsequently on most of our symbols of pride; right from the defunct Bank of the North to the well-decorated houses of our emirs and chiefs and our dress of pride, malun-malun. Additionally the staff of office (sandan girma) proudly used by our emirs still has at the top of it the Crown of the Queen (of England). Maybe, people like you can educate those who matter, to save the North from this embarrassment.

Your piece today was insightful. What happened at the UN Security Council is a vindication of Late Sheikh Gumi’s statement that politics is sometimes more important than prayer. Whether we like it or not Nigeria’s action will directly affect the next presidential elections because that particular action can’t go unrewarded by the ‘free masons.’ We should be more watchful.

I really look up to you as a mentor. Another Dimension is a must-read for me as it raises issues and opens doors for intellectual discussions and comments. More power to your pen.

Re: Father of the Decade; Media Trust should please recognize Alhaji Sa’idu Bala with this honour at the 12th Annual Trust Dialogue.

Point of correction here; there are three Mairami sisters who are medical doctors not two. As for the Zayyan family there is also a brother doctor and a sister pharmacist.

Nice article, it reminded me of something I heard from late Sheikh Jafar’s tafsir session. He narrated the story of how Dr Shettima Ali Monguno once offered to sponsor any lady who wanted to study medicine and specialize as a gynaecologist. But a year after the elder statesman made the offer, no lady came forth to take it; this was from 2004 to 2005. Alhamdulillah, things have changed now. Women are increasingly joining the medical profession as doctors, nurses and midwives. They are giving the whole medical establishment better attention now. Jazakillah bi khair, Mas’ud.

Sister Aisha, this is such an inspiring story, especially for me, a female medical student. I have an observation though, no mention was made of their mother. There might be many reasons behind that but at least a single sentence of recognition would have sufficed. She is obviously a mother of great pride and honour. Thanks and keep up the good work.
0706 7676278
Great story, I wonder how the four sisters’ mother(s) actually managed the feat.

Terrorists or patsies at Charlie Hebdo? :
Quiet an enlightening piece, thanks. Question, Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for 9/11, Al-Qaeda in Yemen claimed responsibility for Charlie Hebdo. Muslims were demonstrating in support of Charlie massacre just as they did for 9/11, what do you say to this? Anthony.
0803 291 3085
(Ans: The writer of the piece I reproduced in this column, is a guy named Paul Craig Roberts. He is a former advisor to late US President Reagan and a non-Muslim. He wrote that Charlie Hebdo was not the handiwork of the two French-Algerians killed, they were just ‘convenient patsies;’ and like me he believes 9/11 was an inside job. For our reasons please search 9/11 truth and find out. Thank you.)
Salam, I have been reading your articles since September 11th events. I’ve found them most informative. Today’s write-up is no exception. I want to request that if the caption above that photo you used is by another writer, kindly reproduce the whole story of that man so that the gullible among us will see the hypocrisy of the Western claim to freedom of speech. I also always wonder why it is not freedom of speech to say anything about Jews and Judaism.

This article has provided us with the insight to understand the truth as regards the current hateful actions and provocation towards Muslims and Islam by so-called champions of human rights. May Allah reward you abundantly.
0803 7033369
What an eye-opener and a classic article. Gradually the world will clearly know the real terrorists and creators of terrorism. I always say that it’s America and her Western allies that fuel, plan and organize terror but will later put the blame on innocent, peace-loving Muslims, Arabs or Africans. I pray the whole world will know the truth one day. Thank you.

Your terrorists/patsies at Charlie Hebdo article is meant for the birds. That’s always the habit of Muslims, when they commit a crime and it backfired, they blame America and Israel.

Your piece on Charlie Hebdo was well-written. May Allah reward you abundantly.

Salam, you’ve given me the best medicine that got me cured. I’ve had restless and sleepless nights since the Charlie Hebdo attacks. ‘Terrorists or patsies’ was my wonder drug. I wish you can give me a telephone number or any address through which I can reach Paul Craig Roberts soonest.
Sanusi Imam, 0803 601 9214.
(Please make an internet search with his name, you will get Mr Roberts email address along with his articles, thank you.)
I always read your column because I find it very interesting. But yesterday’s edition, (terrorists or patsies at Charlie Hebdo) was amazing to discover.
Ruqaiyah, 08036130590
“Such a mistake is inconsistent with the professionalism of the act….
The Charlie Hebdo story simply doesn’t wash. If you believe it then you are no match for a Muslim.” So said Paul Craig Roberts in the article you reproduced. Hajiya, you just made my day!

Between a ‘birther’ and a school cert:
Please note that your quotation of Mark Antony in your column was not that of a historical figure but a fictional character in the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. So it’s wrong to use it as fact.
Also the Caesar in the play and the actual Caesar were not emperors but consuls of Rome.

Truly, what Nigeria needs is someone who is capable and competent to lead this county at this time of serious corruption and insecurity. I thought General Buhari was given the title of tested and trusted a long time ago, so there is no need to debate his capacity to lead Nigeria again. Thank you.

Your ‘birther’ and school cert is very commendable.
