Two Brothers – Aminu Dantata (left) and Sanusi Dantata (right)

Aminu (b. 1935) and Sanusi Dantata (b. 1919) were towering figures in Northern Nigeria’s economy during the 1960s–1970s groundnut boom, a period symbolized by the famous groundnut pyramids of Kano. These massive stacks of bagged groundnuts, awaiting export, became an icon of Nigeria’s agricultural wealth. The brothers together supplied more than half of the Northern Nigeria Marketing Board’s annual groundnut purchases, cementing their influence in trade.

Sanusi Dantata, a pioneering merchant and philanthropist, was also the maternal grandfather of Aliko Dangote. After the death of Dangote’s father, Sanusi adopted and raised him, nurturing the young boy who would later become Africa’s richest businessman. Aminu Dantata, meanwhile, carried forward the family’s entrepreneurial legacy, expanding into commerce and playing a prominent role in philanthropy and community development.

People need to start understanding the difference between Dr and (Dr)

Any "Dr" written without brackets refers to an academic doctorate someone who has spent years studying, researching, and writing in a university or academic institution before earning the title. This "Dr" is rooted in education and carries weight and honor.

However, when you see "(Dr)" with brackets this is usually used as a title of honor or recognition, not necessarily backed by a PhD. For example, some leaders, traditional rulers, or respected elders are called "(Dr)" as a form of tribute or respect, not because they've gone through the rigorous process of earning a doctoral degree.

It is unfortunate how some people use the title "Dr" without truly earning it. If a person hasn't gone through the rigorous process of obtaining a PhD, they should not be accepting or using the title "Dr" as if they actually hold it. Doing so diminishes the value of education and disrespects the effort scholars put into achieving their doctoral degrees.

Someone who spent years earning a Master's degree, then proceeded to a PhD program, conducted thorough research, wrote a comprehensive thesis, defended it successfully, and was officially awarded a Doctorate by a university such a person deserves to be called "Dr" legally and respectfully.

However, someone who was simply given "(Dr)" as an honorary title, whether due to a political position, leadership role, or societal status, should not go around using the title without clarifying that it is honorary. If they do so without explanation, they mislead the public and undermine the integrity of academic achievements.

Based on these reasons, education should be treated with great respect and seriousness. Education is not a joke, and it has no substitute it requires dedication, patience, and perseverance. Therefore, addressing someone as "Dr" without them fulfilling the required academic qualifications is an act of injustice and a betrayal of the value of educatio

The story of insecurity in Nigeria cannot be told without looking at how some deliberate policies and cultural decisions in the far North shaped what is now the breeding ground of terrorism. For a long time, certain ethnic groups in Northern Nigeria built an agenda that was not hidden. It was an agenda that sought to deny Hausa children the tools of modern survival. It was an agenda that insisted that Western education was forbidden and that only a narrow religious form of schooling was acceptable. It was an agenda that turned thousands of innocent children into beggars on the street, with no skill, no trade, and no opportunity for a better life. These children, who should have been the pride of their communities, became instead an army of street urchins. With time, these same children became the pool from which extremist groups would later recruit without stress.

Here’s a short investigative news bulletin on the by-election in Ganye Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Nigeria:

---

GANYE LGA, ADAMAWA STATE – 16 August 2025

The by-election for the vacant seat in the Adamawa State House of Assembly, representing Ganye Constituency, is taking place today after being postponed for over a year. The vacancy arose following the death of the late assembly member Abdulmalik Jauro Musa on May 24, 2024 .

Tensions within APC: The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is grappling with internal divisions ahead of the vote. Rival factions—one led by Senator Abubakar MoAllahyidi’s “G‑20” group, and another by traditional titleholder Walin Ganye, Alhaji Sadiq Wali—have held separate consultative meetings, raising concerns about the party’s readiness and unity heading into the election .

Campaign dynamics: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) launched its campaign earlier this month, with Governor Ahmadu Fintiri urging voters to avoid voting based on ethnic or religious lines during the August 16, 2025 by-election . Meanwhile, local PDP Chairman Ailyu Shehu expressed confidence that PDP would win the seat, affirming the party’s popularity in the state .

Election proceedings today: On the morning of the by-election, INEC officials arrived at polling units as early as 7 a.m. to prepare the voting process. Security personnel have been deployed across the area, and electoral materials have been distributed to designated centres to ensure a peaceful and orderly voting process .
