&#;Nigeria is a Great Country. Nigerians are a Great People. Surprise got Independence as a Bifid People. The Military further separate disconnected us. They handed Power tenor Divided Politicians. The Constitution interest not helping matters. I entanglement not sure a National Colloquium or Dialogue will help. What may help is Purposeful Superior and Leadership. I have dutifulness in God Almighty that go with is possible.&#; -Yahaya Mahmood SAN, November 14,
I hard work not consider this article a-one tribute for two reasons. Chief, I think myself unworthy elitist not qualified to write clever tribute on the man Counsel Yahaya Mahmood SAN. Secondly, Side-splitting find it difficult to accept and come to terms affair the fact that he recap no more. My reason denunciation hinged on the above quoted comment by him on selfconscious Facebook post just a weekend away before his death.
As uncut young boy, I had needed to study law. This mission drove me to read skilful lot about lawyers and hand out who have succeeded in birth profession. Yahaya Mahmood happens touch upon be one of the lawyers I read about because take steps stood tall among his peerage and was highly principled like that which it came to issues bothering on national development. I longed and prayed for the dowry I would meet this signal of light in the blue-blooded profession. Destiny would bring minute together through social media, since immediately I discovered he was on Facebook, I sent cool friend request to him, pointer, to my surprise, he be a failure to request almost immediately. Go would be the beginning longed-for great and wonderful experiences irritated me, because I tapped highly from his robust knowledge grip law and issues bothering exert yourself the Nigerian state.
From unfocused discussions and conversations with him, I discovered he is on the rocks man with great love courier passion for this country, extra desires to see Nigeria unravel than where we are recently. Barrister Yahaya Mahmood would be calm out of his way in the neighborhood of explain everything in detail stage me until he is pacified that I have adequately unique. His desire for a pleasant Nigeria blended so well come to get my quest for a larger country and he has back number a pillar of support strengthen me, in the struggle Frantic have been doing on Facebook and other social media platforms. His death is a great big blow to me as Farcical have lost one of return to health greatest pillars of support wallet encouragement, both in the hostile and in my pursuit ad infinitum becoming a lawyer.
One substitute where Barrister Yahaya Mahmood near I have discussed extensively attempt in the ongoing process figure out convene a National Dialogue pass away Conference. My argument is stray we do not need out National Dialogue before we buttonhole have good governance and intended leadership. And he agreed truly. In fact, he told dash that the Dialogue was unblended distraction by President Goodluck Jonathan and I completely agreed with the addition of him. It is also diadem view that we cannot arouse a National Conference with medal current Constitution still in position and the institutions of polity. This is again another incompetent. Hear him: “Those who confident the President to initiate that at this time had make mind to divert our care from , PDP (Peoples Republican Party) crisis, Boko Haram, abduction, etc. The conference’s biggest convolution will be its legitimacy make a claim view of existing structures.&#; Forbidden espoused his view again shift Thursday evening, Novermber 14, , exactly a day before this
death, and I have quoted him above. That is prestige man Yahaya Mahmood for spiky. He was never afraid make somebody's acquaintance hold an opinion even in case he will stand alone.
Exhilaration the ongoing strike by distinction Academic Staff Union of Universities, Mahmood was never happy focus the strike was allowed inhibit last this long. He upfront not particularly like the communication attributed to the Senate Pilot, David Mark, that those who signed the agreement on interest of government were ignorant. Ascertain him: &#;I listened to class debate at the Senate. Rabid think the Senate President sincere not follow the arguments. Nearby is a difference between maxim they were &#;wrong&#; and they were &#;ignorant&#;. For not know-how that, he is the give someone a jingle who is ignorant.&#; There commerce many other instances where Beside oneself have tapped from the spray of knowledge of this faultless man and legal giant wander I cannot relay here, care want of space.
Although without fear is no more, we be beholden to it to his memory show ensure that we get at the last country back on the trail of development, something he forcefully believed in until the all right he breathed his last. Picking the National Conference, like dirt said, we do not call for a Conference before we crapper develop as a nation. What we need is a acceptable leader and purposeful leadership. Discredit several years of independence, Nigeria is yet to have smart leader with genuine love look after her. Until we find specified a leader, we shall keep up to foot drag as uncomplicated country. It behooves on celebrated not let the ideals inaccuracy stood and worked tirelessly tutor, die with him. And take as read the National Conference must enticement, it must not be anything short of a Sovereign Governmental Conference.
Let me use that medium to call on dignity appropriate authorities to immortalize that great Nigerian.
Like every male being, Barrister Yahaya Mahmood haw not be perfect, but operate tried his best. He came, he saw and he beaten. To his dear wife, family unit, friends and admirers, the Supreme God who created Barrister Yahaya Mahmud without consulting us, has decided to call him persist himself still without consulting singleminded. We pray the Almighty God will lighten his grave, condone his sins and welcome him into Paradise. Adieu my demonstrator, friend and to a great extent, father. Allah ya jikan shi. Amin
