Get a mentor and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.

The media has been awash with reports on the recent comments of the Governor of Sokoto state, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, CFR, on the wanton killings around the country. In the comments credited to the erudite former Speaker on state of insecurity in the country he took to the cleaners the security policies of the present federal administration led by General Muhhamadu Buhari. According to Tambuwal who set record as the first leader of the House of Representatives to leave office without any financial or other scandals levelled against his name, the policing policy in the country has failed and should be reorganised.

The call for a review of Nigeria`s security architecture by the Governor of Sokoto State and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, is coming at the right time and with the right tone and emphasis. It is also coming from someone who, I am sure, many Nigerians have been waiting to hear from for a while. His tenure as Speaker portrayed him as broad minded, cosmopolitan in outlook and also as someone who is far more interested in achieving results that would benefit everyone.

 Nigerian journalists have been called upon to get involved politics, in building the nation, charting the way forward for a better Nigeria with the tools available to them as the "watchdog" of the society.
