Hello, my name is Nuhu (Noah), I was begotten by Mr. Ishaku (Isaac) who hails from Zonkwa, Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna South Senatorial District of Kaduna State, Nigeria. I'm the last but one in my family, and the last among the male children. I studied Political Science in Kaduna State University (KASU), Kaduna State.
As mentioned above, I'm the last among three males and females too. I was brought up by my grandmother for many years. She raised me in love and fear of God and increased faith in Christianity. However, my family is held by a strong bond of love and togetherness. This love is extended to family members and friends alike, and this love I am willing to extend to one and all on this platform.
I graduated from the University in the year Twenty-twenty one (2021) from Kaduna State University (KASU), Kaduna State, Nigeria. In that very year I bagged a B.Sc. Political Science with a 2.1. A feat akin to a first class in other departments in the Natural Sciences and in the faculty of Social and Management Science because of how slim the chances of graduating with a first class honors is in such a department, it was then and now is, not only in my school but in most schools in Nigeria, although it could be argued, protested, and demonstrated against. This fact, I don't know if it is the same in Africa and other continents. What is your take?
However, growing up I went to Model Science Primary school Mabushi Kataf in Kaduna State which was known as LGA primary school and obtained my first school leaving certificate (FSLC). Thereafter, I proceeded to Government Secondary School, Samaru Kataf where I obtained my certification in both West African Examination Council (WAEC) and National Examination Council (NECO). It was in this school that most of my talents, my thirst for reading and flair for writing were birthed.
Apart from writing and reading, I have other areas of interest too including singing and listening to music, football, traveling, and meeting new people.
Writing opened me to a few opportunities in tertiary institution where I served as the assistant general secretary and the general secretary the following year in the Nigerian Federation of Catholic Students, Kaduna State University chapter, respectively. In my local assembly in church, I held that position too. While in my service year, I was the assistant secretary of our department in my place of primary assignment (PPA).
Musically, I have listened to myriads of music before ranging from Reggae, Blues, Rap, Pop, Rock, Makossa(sic), Highlife, and Gospel, the last but foremost and et-cetera.
My best reggae musician would be Lucky Dube, prolly because of the messages his lines preach. I listened to Westlife, One direction, One republic, Back street boys, Marshall Mathers, Pac, M.I Abaga, Sarkodie, Diamond Platnums, Brown, Brandy, and sometimes Nikki Minaj's songs, dear old Nicky, piano, bed of lies, pills and portions mostly, the cool ones.
My favorite is the gospel, and that's what my soul resonates with these days and always will. While I listen to Dusin, Nathaniel Bassey, GUC, Kaestrings, Frank Edwards, Don Moen, Kirk Franklin, Naomi Raine, Natasha, Sinach, Nathalie Grant, Williams McDowell, Lara George. I love some groups like Hillsong united, women of faith, Maverick City, Casting crowns and etcetera.
I love watching football as much as I enjoy playing it. It is a unifying force to reckon with in the world at large, hate it at your own peril. I love playing in the midfield and sometimes forward. Also, I cherish watching both local and foreign matches and no offense meant, while I love to see other countries win, I gravitate towards my own country and place of domicile, just see it as being patriotic. It will interest you to know also that I gravitate towards CFC too. Plus, in the goat banter, I love the two but I only relate to their performances in that particular moment.
I like traveling to new places, I love travel music too, most especially if the songs are from some of my best musicians. I vibe, shake, rhyme to it. This hobby is akin to loving to meet new people. I mean valuable people. This feat I am hoping to achieve here and more. I believe iron will sharpen iron here and my skill will be developed the more. I am open to correction and advice, plus support.
Above all these, I love to impact. This alone led me to picking up a lesson Job in my sophomore in school to teach my first ever students Christabel and Emmanuella, story for another day. Also, during the lockdown caused by Coronavirus outbreak in Nigeria and the Earth, I started teaching boys and girls in my locality ranging from Nursery, Basic 1 to 9 and the Senior classes. This alone had an impact on me that I wanted to do more. It didn't end there, they said 'failure is painful but what is more painful that failure is success without fulfilment'.
I could not be more fulfilled than when I received this message from one of my students a few years after my service year, it goes like;
"Dear Teacher,
I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to write this letter to let you know that I miss you. You have been such an important part of my learning, and I truly appreciate everything you have done for me.
Your lessons, your patience, and your encouragement have stayed with me. I often think about the way you explained things, cared for your students, and always wanted the best for us. It makes me grateful to have had you as my teacher.
Thank you for believing in me and for helping me grow. I hope I can see you again someday and tell you how much your guidance meant to me.
With respect and warm regards,
[Raulatu]."
Now, this is an imprint and it has since then left an indelible mark in my life that all I yearn for in impact. It is second to attaining perfect peace, loving the Lord and serving God.
This impact is my drive and I am here to do so and to be impacted too. I also hopes it gives me the leverages expected for encouragement and consistency. I can't wait to share my inspirations, aspirations with you and to explore more communities here and there.
My introductory message to Hive Blockchain will not and cannot be completed without mentioning the one person that cared enough to introduce me to this platform @peckypeace. Thank you very much ma'am, and remain blessed. It is said that 'appreciation is an application for more', don't hesitate to share your thoughts and insights with me anytime, anywhere ma'am. Thank you very much to the person that has read it to this end, your correction(s) and observation(s) will be much appreciated too, thank you.
Nuhunuhu signing out with a bow, gracias.
