Against the backdrop of the most difficult circumstances of life, they lived to become counted amongst the greatest Nigerians. It was, however, not a life of bread and butter for them at all times. It is not much spoken about, but from the very young age of 6 years, Justice Uwais became fatherless with the loss of his patriarch, Mallam Abdullahi Uwaisu and was raised by his young mother, Hajara who had to move on to a new home with a new husband. Virtually, at every stage in life, he had to work hard beyond the ordinary in order to attain what he became.

It is gratifying to note that the next census will be biometric-based and will not only generate verifiable data of Nigeria’s population, but will also provide geo-coordinates for where everyone resides or is counted.

We must stop calling this “natural death.” This was murder by government negligence. In a country that throws billions at political cronies, gives lawmakers millions in wardrobe allowances, funds endless pilgrimages and jamborees, a professor had to be paraded online like a beggar, with students scrambling to raise funds just so their teacher might live. And even that wasn’t enough. The system choked him to death slowly just like it’s doing to thousands of others right now.
