Can Any Chiefdom in Nigeria Truly Survive without Politics?

The concern that Zaar culture is beginning to embrace politics is understandable, especially given the sensitivity of identity, tradition, and leadership.

However, it is important to ask a sincere and practical question: *Is there any chiefdom in Nigeria today that can truly survive without politics?*

The reality is that no chiefdom operates in isolation from political structures.

Across the country, traditional institutions—whether among the Yoruba traditional institutions or the Hausa-Fulani emirate system—exist and function within frameworks that are recognized and supported by government.

The creation of chiefdoms, the approval of traditional rulers, and even the establishment of administrative structures are all tied, in one way or another, to political processes.

This does not mean that culture is being replaced by politics. Rather, it shows that politics and tradition often coexist, especially in a modern state like Nigeria.

The real issue, therefore, is not whether politics is involved—but how it is managed.

If politics is used as a tool to:

1. Promote unity

2. Bring development

3. Secure recognition and rights for the people

Then it becomes beneficial.

But if it is allowed to:

1. Create division

2. Undermine tradition

3. Promote personal or sectional interests

Then it becomes a problem.

In the case of the Zaar people, what should matter most is that our culture, values, and identity remain strong and respected, regardless of any political connection.

The establishment of the Chiefdom and related developments should be seen as an opportunity to strengthen our heritage, not weaken it.

Therefore, instead of seeing politics as a threat, we should focus on ensuring that it is guided with wisdom, fairness, and a deep respect for our traditions.

Politics may be inevitable, but preserving our culture is a responsibility we must all uphold.

The Naming of Z.D.A. Secretariat After Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed.

There are understandably different perspectives regarding the naming of the Z.D.A. Secretariat after the current Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed (Kauran Bauchi).

Some individuals may view it from Perspective A: that this recognition is a way of appreciating and immortalizing the Governor’s decisive and courageous step in assenting to the Zaar Chiefdom Law—despite criticisms—which ultimately led to the historic installation of Brigadier General Kokko Yake (Rtd.) as the Gung Zaar I of the Zaar Chiefdom.

Others may see it from Perspective B: that such an honour could have been used to recognize one of the many heroes and sons of Zaarland who have contributed immensely to the struggle and development of the people.

Whichever perspective one holds, it is important to acknowledge that both viewpoints deserve understanding and respect.

However, beyond these differing opinions, the most significant achievement remains clear:

The Zaar Chiefdom has been established, and the Z.D.A. Secretariat has been successfully commissioned in Tafawa Balewa for the collective benefit, progress, and unity of our people.

At this point in our history, what matters most is not the name alone, but the purpose it serves. The Secretariat stands as a symbol of growth, recognition, and a new chapter for the Zaar people.

Regardless of linguistic or cultural differences reflected in the name, it should unite rather than divide us.

Let us therefore embrace this development with maturity and a spirit of togetherness. Our strength lies in our unity, mutual respect, and shared vision for a peaceful and prosperous Zaarland.

By focusing on what binds us rather than what separates us, we can build a stronger, more inclusive future for generations to come.
