Do you know this slogan “Anguwan Masaba mai wuyan ba kashi?”
Agreed, because Manarakis is poor, everything became suspicion; this that; otherwise even an unfunctional, unimpactful politician is out there with a Honourarium Doctorial without any demand for debate. Worth a World!
My brother has a radical approach to anything before him, he is a fearless person, a no nonsense to the core and he could be ready to stand-up for his words.
I could remember vividly how the issue of Nupe Language teaching started. Adamu Idris Manarakis was in FUT Minna preparing for his end of the year examination. As usual, he was going to JAFLA to read his note books with his neighbour a Mokwa person. The idea of teaching Nupe Language struck in. He sprouted to nurse the sudden idea with anxiety. This he rightly informed his neighbour to sympathize with him but rather he got otherwise. His neighbour abord something different. He told Manarakis to stop his unimaginable jokes for the impossible. “What will we learn Nupe for when we are already speaking it?” If you want someone who is too nervous in apprehension to the core, please keep the obsession and be of maximum concern to look for Manarakis. He has no believe in impossible, especially on anything created by human provided God will ascend to it.
That was how the teaching of our native language (Nupe) started like a seemingly joke.
Upon all the peerless match, he eccentrified for his pathfinding, aloofness couldn’t spot-on to extinguish the courage of already established trip of merry-land, to dishearten or to depress the spirits of incapacitation to deprive him of his confidence which has no single base to deject him, on.
This confidence is what his kingdom admires. The unbelievable is believable.
Theunthoughtful is thoughtful. And the moment he won the heart of the number one citizen of all the entire Nupe country, the Etsu Nupe, the journey has already been discrete that can be perceived individually and not as connected to, or part of something else. If you check home mouthpiece, Manarakis is there, cyber security, Manarakis is there, software encoded, Manarakis is modifiable/accessible and even the hardware store Manarakis never let any of these to go untouched. I don’t know how you call it but “this is an encomium of greatness.”
Therefore, because the world is watching everyone especially those people who distinguished themselves in a method within rhetorical pedagogy, Manarakis network was equally connected by the British search.
He was called upon amongst the great men of the world to take a prize for doing good. He defeated thousands of intellectuals for his achievements at a youthful age. This is perhaps unmatchable.
The biggest of all the pastry was setting an Institution of Indigenous Languages, that not enough, he invented a native Mathematics book that has already been learnt by Millions of people. For God sake, is this same person you always pointed accusing fingers on as acclaimed? How best could that be to you?
So, if someone with just a first degree can think to this heights, he deserves Honourarium. He deserves accolades. Had it be that he has no any school certification, one would thought of an automatic DOCTORATE DEGREE CHAIRS but because of his western influence teaching in an Institute for learning Indigenous Languages Learning Centre, he WON the certification of Honourary Professorial Chairs. Never can tell what more inspired the judges but this RECORD of Adamu Idris Manarakis is rare in a spatial room.
Well, nothing will change anybody who has already concluded to defraud, paint-black the innocency of Manarakis on this Honourarium but for the sake of history, I pen-down this article to serve as a pendeloque for our future.
Once again, congratulations Professor Honourary of Nupe Language study; Adamu Idris Manarakis, Nupe Indigenous Writer, Tashiru Nupe and Founder/Director ILLEC. We wish you many more still to come in good faith, Aameen.
