 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon. Yaya Tongo, a member of the House of Representatives, whose death cast a sombre mood over the National Assembly. The upper chamber had reconvened from recess amid expectations that lawmakers would accelerate action on the proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police across the federation, a measure widely seen as a major step in the ongoing effort to reform Nigeria’s security architecture. However, proceedings were cut short after Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the death of Tongo, who represented the Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives.

Literature Meets Legacy, as Chimamanda Visits Her Kindergarten Teacher


On a quiet afternoon in Nsukka, there came a moment that would stir more than thirty years of memories. Standing at the door was internationally acclaimed novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, radiant and humble, holding a bouquet of gratitude. She had come to visit Mr. Raphael Idoko, her kindergarten teacher. Now grey-haired and frail but still sharp-eyed, Mr. Idoko was momentarily speechless. His former pupil, now a global literary icon, had not forgotten him. As they embraced, time folded in on itself: the little girl with curious eyes had returned, bearing stories, success, and heartfelt thanks.


“Mr Idoko was a wonderful teacher. He made a difference in my life. I think about him often. I said I must come and thank him,” Chimamanda said. Elated, Idoko embraced her, saying, “I understand that you have a new name now,” to which Chimamanda replied, “I am still Ngozi.” Mr. Idoko informed his guest that his granddaughter also bears the name Chimamanda. 


Chimamanda's visit was more than a gesture in a world quick to forget its humble beginnings. It was a tribute to one of the many teachers who made her dreams count; who believed, encouraged, and planted seeds in her tender mind. That day in Nsukka, literature met legacy, and a teacher’s life’s work found its loudest echo in the quiet knock of a grateful student.
