TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12 , 2004           Emulate Danfodio, emir Asha tells youth By ALIYU YUSUF THE emir of Kauran Namoda in Zamfara state, Alhaji Muhammad Ahmad Asha has charged youth to emulate the good virtures and intellectual scholarship of the late Usman Danfodio. He said late Danfodio had lived a life that was full of wisdom, scholarship, as well as a strong defence of Islam. The emir who spoke through Alhaji Garba Yabo during the formal launching of Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara Students Association (SOKE-ZASA) calendar of the Kano state School of Hygine chapter lamented that what is happening in today's society could be attributed to lack of adherence to religious teachings as well as failure to follow the footsteps of good leaders. Alhaji Yabo, however, advised the students to utilise and put into practice what they learnt in the school, stressing the need for them to unite themselves and speak with one voice to achieve a common goal. In his presentation, Dr. Yusuf M. Adamu, a Geography lecturer with Bayero University, Kano challenged Muslims in the North to be alive to their responsibilities as Muslims. He, however, emphasised on the need for serious literary writing among muslims which he observed in the North was only left in the hands of young people, a gesture he said that he received series of complaints in the society. Dr. Adamu pointed out that many people are aware of the debates on Hausa Literary movements or littatafan Soyayya, saying, �it became testimony that Hausa-Muslim writing remained at cross roads, hence, the need to revive the writing culture and refocus it to better directions,� he added. Remarking, the chief launcher, Hajiya Hauwa Datti Abubakar, commended the students for their effort to form such an association, noting hat their studies are very important as they deal with societal health. She then called on the Kano state government to give more attention to the School of Hygiene so as to improve the general health condition of the people and their environment.   SITE TOOLS Print This Page   EMAIL THIS PAGE Friend's Name: Friend's  Email: Your Name: Your Email:           � Triumph Publishing Company Limited 2004
