Ahmed isah of brekete family biography books

Ahmad Isah is, perhaps, the most detribalized Nigerian alive. The Kogi-born Igala man is a wonderful gift to humanity. He is, indeed, an enigma, a fearless personality who puts government in Nigeria and their agents on their toes. Together with members of his Brekete Family, he commits government agents to accountability— whilst fighting for the rights of peoples of all sexes, races, regions and religions. Indeed, Brekete Family is gradually changing the way things are done in Nigeria, in what stands out as a silent but efficient revolution, as personalities (high or low in estate) readily yield to or submit themselves for public scrutiny. Ahmad Isah remains a bridge-builder by nature and inclination. A patriot who has no preference for any religion (though a Muslim from Kogi State, born to an Ikwerre-Igbo Christian mother, from Elele area— or Umuduga, to be precise), Ahmad Isah would tell whoever cares to listen how he suffered in life at the early stage of his life, trying to eke-out a living— neglected by rich uncles and aunties who thought he could not amount to anything in life. Indeed, Ahmad Isah (the one called Ordinary President by his followers or admirers across the world) has severally told the world (in some of his Brekete Family’s programmes aired on the Human Rights Radio, Abuja, in Nigeria (FM 101.10)— perhaps, the first human-rights radio station in the whole world) how he indulged in many menial jobs in a bid to fend for himself— his ordeals while in Kaduna and then Onitsha, all in Nigeria. And his life-history remains one full of sordid tales (especially, in his early years of life), but which later dovetailed into a highly inspiring process: because Ahmad rose from grass to grace as his gory-story turned into glory. Yes, he has since become a tool for God to lift people from doldrums into their destinies. How someone who passed through such paths in life eventually got into relevance, to shoulder the responsibi

Ordinary Ahmad Isah is the founder of Brekete Family, a radio magazine and reality programme in Abuja. His programme has held Abuja residents and other listeners from around the world spell-bound for years. Recently, his radio station, Human Rights Radio 101.1 FM, commenced commercial broadcasting in Abuja. In a first-of-its kind interview with ALIYU USMAN VULEGBO, the Ordinary President speaks about his life and career.

With the way you assist people, you must have come from a very wealthy home.

Please, come around often and see things for yourself. What you see should inform what you write about me. I don’t want to sound like I’m blowing my own trumpet or sound like I’m bragging. God is only using me to do what I’m doing. I’m a nobody. I came from a very humble background. I came from a wretched family.

You are from a wretched home, how?

Yes. Because feeding even once in a day was a miracle. Where to sleep was near impossible. Sometimes, when it was in evening time, I will begin to cry. This was because I didn’t know where to sleep. Everybody avoided me.

How then did you overcome these challenges?
God saw me through. And that is why everything I do; I give the credit and the glory to God, for making me something out of nothing.

Despite your claims to be illiterate, it was rumoured that you are well educated, how will you react to this?

Yes, I am educated. I have two PhDs. The reason I said that (I am not educated) is to give hope to those that never had the opportunity to go to school for them not to lose hope in life. If I can say confidently in the public that I’m an illiterate, I never went to school; it means someone somewhere will say oh, there is hope for me.

But because we have been brainwashed over time, people have come to believe that it is only when you go to school that you become successful. I want to change that narrative. I want to change that school of thought.

Don’t you also think that could lead to unintended consequences;
