  Dansadau is not just a name on a map—it is a land blessed by God. Dansadau garin Allah. Yet today, it stands abandoned, its beauty buried beneath fear, silence, and neglect. Insecurity has become the bitter reality for the people of Dansadau. Bandits roam freely, families are torn apart, and entire communities live in fear. Once fertile farmlands now lie empty, and the roads echo with the absence of footsteps that once bustled with life. But the pain doesn’t end with insecurity. There is no electricity to light homes. No clean water to drink. No good roads to travel. Hospitals are far, and schools are crumbling. What was once a proud emirate is now left to struggle on its own. The government has turned its back. The promises are many, but the actions are few. While others move forward, Dansadau is being forgotten. Still, the people endure. With faith. With strength. With hope that one day, someone will hear their cries and remember this sacred land—Dansadau garin Allah. May Almig...

  It’s been two years since Governor Dauda Lawal took the reins of Zamfara State amid soaring hopes and bold campaign promises. Today, many residents are asking one simple question: What has changed? The honest answer, for many, is very little except the growing list of failed promises. When Lawal promised to “end banditry and restore peace,” it struck a chord with war-weary citizens. But two years in, rural communities remain under siege. From Maru to Shinkafi, attacks persist, kidnappings continue, and farms lie abandoned. His so-called “community policing” strategy has been nothing more than press conferences and photo-ops. Security in Zamfara is still a nightmare—and his silence on recent killings in Zurmi  The promise of revitalizing education in Zamfara sounded hopeful—until the budget revealed otherwise. Schools remain poorly funded, teachers unpaid, and students unmotivated. The much-hyped "Education Revival Project" has delivered nothing tangible. Pupils still sit on...

  By Mohammed Kabir (MK) Zamfara stands at a critical crossroads. After years of insecurity, economic stagnation, and political instability, the people are yearning for real change—not just recycled promises and old faces in new clothing. In the midst of this longing for transformation emerges a name that is fast gaining momentum across wards, communities, and social circles: Hon. Abdulmalik Zubairu Zannan Bungudu. This is not just another politician. Zannan Bungudu represents a generational shift—a fresh voice with a clear vision and an unshakable commitment to a better Zamfara. He is a symbol of possibility in a state too often overshadowed by crisis. Unlike many before him, Zannan Bungudu listens. He doesn't just make rounds during campaigns; he engages, learns, and stands shoulder to shoulder with everyday citizens. Farmers, students, women traders, and youth leaders alike speak of his humility, his ideas, and most importantly, his action. His priorities are bold but grounded: ...

  The Dansadau Emirate in Maru local government is under siege not by foreign invaders but by the relentless grip of insecurity. Along the Gusau–Magami–Dansadau road, fear now walks freely where people once moved with peace and purpose. What was once a lifeline for commerce and daily life has become a corridor of terror. As someone with roots in this emirate, I can no longer stay silent. Families are torn apart, lives are lost daily, and the hope of a better tomorrow is fading. Innocent farmers, traders, children, and the elderly are living in constant fear of bandits who roam unchecked. The cries from our communities echo through the forests, yet they are met with deafening silence from those in power. We are not asking for miracles only for the most basic responsibility of any government: security. The people of Dansadau emirate deserve to live without fear, to farm their land, to send their children to school, and to travel safely within their own state. This is a call to the re...
