‎CALL TO PURPOSE


‎Good afternoon, dear brothers and sisters of ISOZI,
‎
‎As rightly announced a few weeks ago, ISOZI Admins have taken a dynamic step by electing three executives to pilot the affairs of the group alongside the other admins. However, it is important to note that these executives are serving in an interim capacity for a maximum period of 18 months, during which all necessary structures will be put in place to ensure a smoother transition for the intended main executive leadership.
‎
‎On behalf of myself and my fellow interim executives, I wish to express our deep gratitude for the trust you have placed in us to serve in these crucial roles at this defining moment in our collective journey. We are not unaware of the immense responsibilities that come with these positions, nor are we blind to the expectations that lie ahead. But we take comfort in the strength, wisdom, and support of you, the entire ISOZI community.
‎
‎Let it be known that we do not take this responsibility as a title, but as a sacred trust, one that will demand our time, our energy, our creativity, and our unwavering commitment to the vision and objectives of ISOZI.
‎
‎As Interim President, I pledge to preside over, organize, and coordinate all activities of ISOZI strictly in line with its vision: to promote intellectualism, unity, socio-cultural pride, and strategic development among the Zaar people. I will remain accountable to you and to the central body, consult widely on every critical matter, and ensure that every decision reflects our collective goals, not personal interests.
‎
‎Together with the Secretary (Mr. Minighom Ayuba⁩) and PRO (⁨Mal. Yakubu Garba⁩), we are committed to laying a strong and lasting foundation for ISOZI. This includes, but is not limited to:

1. Developing core and operational policy documents on ethics, inclusion, data protection, performance, finance, discipline, and more crafted with rigor and vision to serve as the guiding framework of our organization.
2. ‎Crafting a comprehensive action plan that maps out our activities, programs, and initiatives in alignment with our objectives.
3. ‎Hosting regular dialogue sessions, monthly interactions, and paper presentations to stimulate critical thinking, share knowledge, and address pressing issues affecting the Zaar community like the present security challenge that we are facing.
4. ‎Encouraging collaborative research and advocacy projects that contribute to our security, intellectual and socio-cultural advancement.
5. ‎Delegating responsibilities and forming committees to ensure inclusive participation, recognizing that collective wisdom and teamwork are the engines of real progress.
‎
‎ISOZI community, you are not spectators, you are partners in this mission, the guardians of integrity, and the conscience of this society. We welcome your oversight, your ideas, and your commitment. We will not be lead in isolation, but in synergy with you.
‎
‎We are aware that time is of the essence. Within the next 18 months, our task is to transform ISOZI from an interim body into a fully established, respected, and impactful intellectual society. This is ambitious, but it is possible if we work together selflessly and with purpose.
‎
Let me end with this reminder: ISOZI is not just an organization, it is a movement. It is a call to purpose. It is the intellectual awakening of a people who, for too long, have been underestimated. We are here to rewrite that narrative through education, research, advocacy, cultural promotion, dialogue, and community development.

‎On behalf of my fellow executives, the Secretary and the PRO, I once again thank you. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for supporting us. And thank you for walking this path with us.
‎
‎Together, we will build ISOZI.
‎Together, we will raise the banner of Zaar intellectualism high.
‎Together, we will show tthe world the power, wisdom, and dignity of the Zaar people.
‎
‎Thank you.
‎
‎Engr. Mbimda Ali MBISHIDA
[MNIMechE, MNSE, MNIPES, Re(COREN), PhD (In-View)]
President, ISOZI

Open Letter to Zaar Youth: A Call for Unity and Strategic Engagement in Politics

Image
ISOZI, FCT- Abuja Mr. L. B. Halan L.B. Halan, a passionate advocate for the progress and unity of the Zaar people, shared a thought-provoking message with Zaar youth on the ISOZI WhatsApp platform. In a continuation of his previous appeal, Halan urged the youth to channel their energy into meaningful political participation and collective development rather than becoming entangled in local disputes.  In his letter, Halan began by addressing the importance of Zaar youth stepping up to shape a brighter future for themselves and future generations. He emphasized the need for strategic political engagement, noting that focusing on local positions and titles within community associations such as ZAYODA and ZDA often leads to unnecessary conflicts. These associations, while important, should not be seen as the ultimate goal for the youth’s aspirations. “Remember, these associations can only exercise authority within our local communities and do not have the constitutional man...

DISTINGUISHING ETHNIC STRUGGLES AND POLITICS AS TOOLS TOWARDS EMANCIPATION OF THE MINORITIES

Image
ISOZI An ethnic group is regarded as social collectiveness whose members not only share objective characteristics as language, core-territory, ancestral myths, culture, religion and political organization, but also have some subjective consciousness or perception of common decent and identity. Nigeria has over 500 languages and about 371 ethnic groups with Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo as the majority. The country is separated into geographical political entities called ‘Regions’ and ‘States’ where every ethnic group is incorporated based on its ancestral origin. The ratio of distribution of ethnic groups in a particular region, state or area is what gives rise to ‘majority’ and ‘minority’ ethnic groups. Human psychological egoism has led to formulation of stratified societies towards control of available resources. By nature, specie forming the majority dominates the minority leading to struggles and competition. In organised human societies, the unequal treatment and systematic ...

SAYAWA LEPM ZAAR ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF ARTS AND CULTURE

Image
ISOZI Bauchi, October 25th, 2023. It is a given that a group of people's culture is reflected in their way of life. They accept things based on a combination of their behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols. The fact that culture is the foundation of every human being means that to forsake it is to deny one's ancestry and roots. The Lemph Zaar, a cultural celebration of the Zaar (Sayawa) tribe in the Bauchi state local governments of Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro, is now acknowledged as a significant event in Bauchi state, the northern region of Nigeria, and all of Africa.  Every first Saturday in November, the festival is held. The Zaar (Sayawa) people, who are primarily farmers, celebrate the fee to signal the start of the harvest. The celebration is held in Tafawa Balewa town, which is where the Sayawa people's ancestors first lived.  The Tafawa Balewa town consistently draws large crowds as they congregate there to enjoy the Lepm Zaar yearly cultural event, which...
