At-Tajamulul Awal One of the amazing heritage of the Egyptian culture is the well planned environment with the Nile serving as the source of inspiration. Though Egypt, as I once observed, cannot be compared with Nigeria economically, but the living and social standard of the Egyptians are such that they can be favorably compared with Europe and America. In the last two weeks, I travelled to Saudi-Arabia to perform the lesser Hajj, a brief stay in London on my way to Houston Texas in the United State of America, where seven Nigerian-American citizens completed the memorization of the Quran. I acted like a parrot there for Prof. Is-haq Oloyede who asked me to be his tongue at the occasion. I am currently in Egypt where two of my Children are attending Hifzul Quran program. ( let me thank every member of the class who rejoiced with me for the successful completion of Abdul-Hafizs memorization of the Quran, his sister, Mubarakah is almost at the tail end of her own completion too. I also want to assure that plan is on the way to domesticate the program in Nigeria for interested members. Details will be made public later.) Back to Egypt, the provision of the municipal services is excellent. Water, Electricity, health scheme and Road networks are not different from What is obtainable in Europe and America. My children are using glasses and I renewed it before they left Nigeria. They went for medical check up in Egypt where the Egyptian Optician Doctor asked them rhetorically whether the Nigerian glasses were giving to them by a Carpenter or a Bricklayer? The issue here is not that the Nigerian Doctors are not well trained but majority are not in touch with modern equipments. I also remember here that my friend, Marshal Sulayman who hosted me in his house at Houston Texas, lost his Father in Nigeria, the very day I arrived the United States. He took his Father to USA for treatment. The poor man was treated in Nigeria for typhoid fever. Alas ! a lot of harm had been done before he was taken to America, where he was diagnosed for something else. I visited the Old man at the Hospital in America last Ramadan. He was returned home few weeks ago by his Son, on his own request that he wished to die and be buried with his ancestors in Ijebu Mushin. May Allah forgive him. Distinguished Senior members and all the honorable members of the class, with tears I asked my self how many poor citizens are being killed in our hospitals due to lack of modern equipments? And where they are available, they are not avoidable. If Egypt,as poor as it is,could be competing favorably with Europe and America in terms of health scheme for her citizens, a big question that is begging for answer is that where is our annual budget for health both at the state and federal levels. Yes the answer is not far fetched. It is in the pockets of our Animals. Sorry I beg your pardon our looters. No I mean our leaders. Water facility in Nigeria is zero whereas most of the States are named after drinkable and accessible rivers.. Osun, Ogun, Niger, Kwara, Kogi, Kaduna, Taraba, Zamfara, Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross-River, Adamawa, Benue etc etc etc etc etc................Do we still need Allah to come and lay our pipes.? Electricity in Egypt for the past 40yrs is uninterrupted. Many First class underground trains for inter and intra city purposes. The Egyptian Airline is all over the globe. Whereas those who quenched our NEPA are now the opinion molders in our midst. Those who allowed the Nigerian Airways to fly to the point of no return are decorated with National honors. And It is not a news that most of our Senators, House members and serving Governors are proud owners of private jets, Kai! Allah ya Isa. Trailers continue to kill innocent lives on our death trap roads, yet our Abuja representatives continue to fly over our heads, HABA ! It is also very sad to note that Egypt, one of the poorest counties in the North Africa is now the new hope of the modern Nigerian slaves. Many Igbo, Yoruba, TiVi, Ebiras and the Northern tribes are now cheap laborers in Cairo, the Egyptian capital. And the women are being used like trash. When next you visit Egypt try to go to Yasmin, Tajamulul Awal you will notice the developmental focus of the Egyptian government and you will realize that Abuja is a childs play. Tajamulul Awal is a ghost city for the yet to be born generations.Though Egypt has its peculiar political problems, the living standard is not comparable to Nigeria. The populace are in support of the IKHWAN Morsis government while the western world and some Munafiqun in the gulf are behind the abracadabra C.Cs armored tanks and the comedy election. The big question now is when are we going to change our destiny by our own hands? When are we going to say that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH? I pray that Allah will enable me to live long till the day that all the Qarunas and Pharaos will be disgraced out of power. I wish to play an active role in the uprooting of our bad and inept leadership, even if that will cost me my life. I am highly committed to this struggle, having travelled to many parts of the world, I realized that our VAGABONDS IN POWER are heart less. In Europe and America they are the first to respect the laws, we queued together at the Airports, because they know that they may end up in jails for violation of simple rules. They however change like chameleon in Nigeria. They are the first to violate the rules of the game with impunity. Pls help me share this thought. Perhaps one of them will read it. Thanks. Yours sincerely, ALFA OMO ALFA, NAQIBUL FASL, THE CLASS CAPTAIN OF MADRASATU MUHAMMAD,
