BALA IBN NA’ALLAH, IDRIS AHMED AND
ABUBAKAR MELI:
Grinding the Axe Who is Dr. Idris
Ahmed? - 3
by
U. S. Machika
Dr.
Idris Ahmed of CUPS
Sen.
Comrd. Shehu Sani’s words set the ball in motion for me when I set to analyse
Dr. Idris Ahmeds recent allegations concerning Sen. Bala Ibn Na’Allah. The
Distinguished Senator posits in his facebook page,
“When one reads most postings of
opinions or reactions in most Nigerian Online news websites, it's full of
anonymous persons firing missiles of insults, hate, abuse and innuendos. People
intellectually deficient in responding to issues with superior arguments,
rather behave like thugs:
For a simple opinion on say
infrastructure, they spare not the religion or the ethnic group of their
victim. And to many of such people, the "social" factor in the idea
of the social media has since been lost. The right to freedom of speech need to
be exercised with decorum and respect for sensibilities and dignities of
persons in the social media and online forum. Sen. Comrd Shehu Sani
Thus,
before I delve into analysis Dr. Idris Ahmed criticism to Ibn Na’Allah, I need
to know what CUPS is and who is Dr. Idris Ahmed. I started by finding out what
CUPS is all about before going digging about Dr. Idris Ahmed. Read on! I found
out a fundamental flaw. What CUPS is on
its website is different from what CUPS is on facebook.
Who is Dr.
Idris Ahmed?
According
to his associates, (former associates) Dr. Idris Ahmed is none of the eloquent
and noble position of CUPS. His post contradicts the human face of CUPS......Ahmed from his “friends”, (episode 3). Here we go! NONE IS EDITED!

Notice
of My Disengagement with CUPS.
Actually I was
part of CUPS distribution of relief material to IDPS. In fact all its
humanitarian services in Kano, I did that because of the passion I have of
serving humanity, I decided to disengage myself from the activities of CUPS and
from being a member of the organization because of the following reasons :
1. I have never
met Dr Idris Ahmed in person.
2. He is living
in Coventry UK and has never visited Nigeria for the past 20 years or more than
that.
3. He has never
shown interest to visit his country even for the sake of serving cups
especially its formal launching.
4. He has been a
strong critic of former President Goodluck Jonathan more especially in seeing that
he lose the recent presidential election to Buhari but has never shown interest
to visit Nigeria for the sake of giving his vote to Buhari while all other
Nigerians living abroad have decided to do so for a better Nigeria, Dr Ibraheem
Dooba Hurso Adam and many more were purposely in the country to vote. I think
wisely and realized all this.
5. He is
dictatorial, he always hijack everything by refusing to allow other offices of
cups to discharge their duties especially the media officer in person of one
Ahmed Magem.
6. Dr Ahmed has
been exposing issues of National Security and has never commended the efforts
of our security agencies in every good efforts they made but always putting the
blame on them.
7. If all what
Dr Ahmed is saying is false, will he be arrested? No! Because nobody knows his
personal address in Coventry and no any Nigerian living in London will tell you
that he met this man even Hurso Adam himself who represented CUPS during
President Buhari's visit to UK, at that time Ahmed refused to meet PMB by
giving some silly excuses as I can recall.
8. Why did Dr
Ahmed refused to debate with Sheriff Muhammad Ibrahim Almuhajir constructively
on some issues he raised about the activities of cups? Ahmed response was not
convincing and all the issues raised by Almuhajir are things that came to my
mind in reality and I started asking myself some questions.
9. Why is Dr
Ahmed giving more emphasis on civilian JTF legal framework by refusing to focus
and advise the government on the ways of providing the military with good
weapons and other equipments ? Why is he interested in the whistle blowing
without giving PMB the time to study this issue of insecurity critically? He is
always in a hurry on this issue but nobody knows why he is in this hurry.
10. Dr Ahmed has
never accept any piece of advice by CUPSIANS but always do things about CUPS on
his own.
11. I realized
all the allegations he raised on Dr Fatima Jajere were false and full of
blackmail.
Based on the
following reasons as from today friends you count me out of this organization,
I ceased from being a member insha Allah, I will focus on the activities of
other Non Governmental Organization that I am a member of so that I will
continue to be contributing towards the development and service of humanity
which I have developed passion on. For CUPS I urge the founder to come out and
defend himself on the issues I raised, for my other friends that are still on
the platform I advice them to ask themselves the above questions and look at
the reasons I gave critically .
Thank you
Adnan Mukhtar
Adam TudunWada 13/07/2015
Wallahi Billahil
Azim Nobody is using me for the purpose of tarnishing CUPS image, I just
realized the truth on my own. I am highly principled therefore nobody can
change me at once just like that without a reason that will make me convinced,
I raised an issue which this founder failed to defend himself rather just
calling them baseless, for God Sake how will you expect my stay in cups???
Another
powerful figure left CUPS
Good afternoon
all,
I joined CUPS
envisioning an ideal means and platform to positively impact the lives of the
less fortunate. I am very proud of the work we did collectively in helping
elect a government in our beloved Nigeria that stands for that noble ideal. The
government we helped elect is very capable in every matter of government. While
we are all expected in our little way to contribute in the betterment of our
society, there are areas in the government that do
not warrant our interference.
Those of you who know me, know how passionate I am about empowering the most vulnerable and helpless among us. They know me by my saying: a God-given talent not used for the betterment of humanity is worthless. As one of the trustees of CUPS in charge of fundraising, and the empowerment of women and the youth, I recently spearheaded a RAMADAN fundraising initiative for the IDPs and I am currently conducting a clothing drive for them. I am in NO SHAPE or FORM involved in the vitriol and the editorial for as it pertains to CUPS. Yet, as a Trustee of the Organization, I can only offer my sincere apologies to anyone who has directly or indirectly been hurt by it.

I
truly believe much can be achieved with a spirit of inclusiveness, peace,
compassion, acceptance, compromise and constructive criticism, and that
radicalism, abrasive rhetoric, divisiveness are counterproductive ,
self-destructive and against my core philosophy of leadership. I am a
humanitarian at heart not an “EGOMANITARIAN”.
I
therefore believe it’s time to hereby declare formally, my disassociation from
CUPS starting now. This disassociation is voluntary and is no way done under
any duress. May God bless you all, and let us continue the building of a new
and better Nigeria and ensuring that there is a voice for the powerless.

NOTICE
OF RELINQUISH FROM CUPS
Citizens United
for Peace and Stability (CUPS) is an organization, under the leadership of Dr #Idris Ahmed, whose membership I have been having. With not much distracting stories, the
statement below has triggered me to quit.
"...I call
on the remaining CUPSIANS in the house to show ABSOLUTE LOYALTY or
leave..."
The statement
above is credited to Dr. Idris after some series of allegations by some members
were raised against him. The statement is a conditional one; either a member
shows absolute loyalty or leaves.
I cannot show
absolute loyalty due to the following reasons;
* I honoured an
invitation to CUPS in order to learn and contribute not to just listen, watch
or blind-follow anybody.*
The
organization's leader, Dr Idris doesn't deserve my absolute obedience because;
- He is
hot/short tempered in the sense that he can easily be misguided by anger. I
cannot risk my life and image in the hand of such a person, because whatever he
says on behalf of the organization becomes my view if I still remain its
component.
2. He doesn't
welcome criticism and whenever he is criticized, the critic becomes a devil.
3. He
hardly/doesn't accept corrections; whenever a leader is not open for it, a
movement is doomed.
Although aims
and objectives of CUPS are clear, conscience and superb, and its members are
great, I doubt Dr Idris's sincerity of the course. I perceived him as someone
who is using something in order to achieve something. - Reason?
- He always
likes to present himself as a hero, especially to the public. That's why he
couldn't allow the organisation's Media Director, Ahmed Magem to carry out his
duty despite iterating calls on that.
- There were two
different times, if I am not mistaking in which he conveyes his CV and Thesis
on the organization's facebook platform. My take; it's strange seeing an
activist extending CV to the public. This clearly shows that Dr needs to be
seen by the New government and be considered for an appointment, since it
happens on the eve of Buhari's triumph - *Perception*
3. CUPS most
recent activities have turned to be more of a Wikileaks, hence diverted from
what it was originally founded.
4. CUPS doesn't
honor its members' grievances and when a member reacts in the negative he/she
becomes different names.
5. The day a
member relieves self, all that he/she does for the organization, no matter how
noble, the person's selfless efforts, sacrifice of time, money, energy is,
becomes null.
With this, I
humbly take myself out of CUPS and need not to be involved in any of its future
events.
*I still have
much respect to the great personalities in the movement.*
May Allah accept
our noble work and forgive our sins.
ON
ADNAN'S SO CALLED “DISENGAGEMENT” WITH CUPS!
Dear respected
CUPSIANS,
The two images
below are screen dumps captured from the Facebook page of one of the so called
CUPS members who decided to “Disengage” from CUPS. On 6/7/2015, Adnan Mukhtar
Adam Tudun Wada was posted on his Facebook page a blog singing all praises of
CUPS, for making his dream of espousing for peace and unity in Nigeria become a
reality. He went further to pray for the well-being of the CUPS founder.
Exactly six days
later, on 12/7/2015, without any provacation, the same Adnan dramatically
posted his “Disengagement” notice from CUPS. The pertinent question to ask
Adnan is this; what happened to his understanding of CUPS activities and his
participation in the organisation between 6/7/2015 and 12/7/2015? We don't know
the answer to this question. Only Adnan and his creator know the answer.
Dear CUPSIANS,
these are the challenges that CUPS is forced to deal with in the last few days.
It is sheer grandeur betrayal by those who we think are part of us, but who are
seeking to undermine our very survival in the face of corruption, tyranny,
genocide and occupation. Be rest assured that we are up to the task. I will
respond to Adanan's blog shortly.
May God save
Nigeria and Nigerian. Amen.
Dr. Idris Ahmed.
13/7/2015.
Idris Ahmed
commented on his post with this when one asked him to respond to the
allegations we raised:
Thanks mallam
Abubakar. I assure you that every single one of Adnan and Suleiman Mahir
Badamasiis's accusations are blatant lies. OK, let us start with the first
accusation made by Sheriff. We agreed that we were going to have a debate, on
the condition that he will translate his libelous allegations into English for
the whole whole to read and understand. He agreed to do that. Suddenly he
changed his mind and put new conditions. Now, there is Hauwa's allegations as
well. So it looks like their strategy of destyong our work is to overwhelm us
with allegations, so that we stop the good work and concentrate on replying
allegations. If you are the CUPS president what will you do? Do the real work
or waste time answering every single allegation labeled against you?
My take:
My take:
I thank God for
revealing me the truth. Alhamdulillahi

man is up to something. There is something fishy about him. A good leader never
deny allegations made against him by his subjects even if he is not guilty.
Nay, if they complain about him, something must be wring with his leadership.
He is to simply accept it and make amends. But this one I think he is not a
leader. Sad... July

I trust your judgement Adnan. Leaders must learn to respond to questions and/or allegations unconditionally. A number of times I tried communicating with Dr. Idris via FB messages to no avail. He seem to be the type who like imposing his belief on fellow CUSPIANS. July 14 at 7:28am · 1

Abdullahi Considering the situation we found ourselves today, it is not
security and socially wise for a person to be partaking in an organisation
whose founder's identity cannot be ascertained and established. That is a good
decision @Adnan. July

Adnan Mukhtar Adam yours is a reasonable disengagement and I am deeply touched
and convinced. However, your resolve to continue your contribution as a member
of other organisations is received with a feeling that you are equal to the
task of coming up with a new platform to advance your ideas of peace and
development. You are here by adviced to use your vast knowledge and experience
in coming up with objectives and service framework for your friends and
colleagues to join in the quest for better alternative. Please do that soon. July

Auwalu Sabiu Nafada Of
all the issues raised by Adnan Mukthar Adam Tudun Wada ,Two things worries me!
These are:~
1,No body seems
to know Idris Ahmed in person. And
2,His absence in
london during Buhari visit.
There4, I argued
Ahmed Idris to come up and clear his name . July

Adnan
Mukhtar Adam TudunWada Comrade Abdullahi
Ismail Kwalwa i will do that insha Allah. Ibrahim
Wala Garba are you doubting all the issues I have raised? Ask Dr Idris some
questions here I gave as reasons for my disengagement, asking him to carry on
sounds funny, he is there at London putting our lives at risk while he has been
out of the country for more than 20 years that's since 1990 and I was born in
this 90's even participating actively in something he formed. I think my
reasons are ok. Could you imagine how he was disturbed with the disengagement
of Hajiya Hauwa who is seen as the mother of CUPS in Nigeria, he followed the
decision with insults and so on, how can a leader be behaving this way??? A
leader without patience and perseverance. Ahmed supposed to tell us his reasons
on why he don't like visiting his native country gaskiya July

Sheriff
Almuhajir Adnan Mukhtar Adam TudunWada rather ask if anyone ever sees
him or sees someone that was on physical contact with him. My background check
told me a lot I don't need to share, I will rather allow everyone to decide for
himself. But I believe it's not wise you do if you don't search who is this
guy? You don't know that some people can hack information from people's
devices, and some are imprisoned for that in their country of residence.
Wallahill azeem even this morning I found that all my notifications are read
and I couldn't see them. Until now that I reinstalled I did this twice last
night. Do you know what this means? cybercrime and if you doubt ask for how he
gots some information. A lot more I can't say July

This is a very simple issue. Idris Ahmed should come and clear his name. The allegations
against him are stacking up and as a leader, it is only right for him to take
responsibility, as he owes his members clarification. July

contacted me personally also on the need to be part of the initial ream of CUP.
I obliged but I later tactically withdraw my participation when I realized most
of his posts are frivolous and mare rumors. July
12 at 11:17am · 6
Sunusi Musa Abduljalil, Sheriff, Mujahid
and Aranposu let me say Alhamdulillah. I was really concern
with young people like Adnan being part of this CUPS thing. Is one of the people I
intend to talk to when I come to Kano on the need to be careful. But I think
the battle has just began. We must not rest until we rescue our young men from
the clutches of this man or he come out clean. That was how BH started and like
Dr. Ibrahim said, CUPS seems to be northern version of Biafra.
Abubakar Bappayo Abduljalil Ismail Ajis The issue is somewhat confusion.
Adnan's points are quite clear and understandable. I followed Dr. Almuhajir's
posts on CUPS and Dr. Idris Ahmed from day one to date. The rate at which
CUPIANS are 'disengaging' themselves from CUPS activities is seriously
alarming. July
12 at 12:10pm · 4
Abduljalil Ismail
Ajis Abubakar Bappayo nothing is confusing abt our concerns with
some of CUPS activities especially with regards to Wikileaks style approach to
our security issues. I know most of ur likes are lured to participate in a
humanitarian and human rights activism, that's why most of u couldn't
understand our points. July

Yusuf Adamu Ibrahim
Mashaa Allah!! I shall make my position clear within the week on this matter.
As a matter of fact and considering the reasons you highlighted, you are
justified to take this measure. Hauwa
Umar Aliyu did endure more than any average man. Her decision is as well
very reasonable. I concur with you both. I believe many other members will
boycott the organisation for one or similar reasons. I have my own reservations
as well which has lingered for so long but feared to share thinking I was the
only person seeing what I saw. Be blessed comrade Adnan Mukhtar Adam TudunWada. Am following suit soon. Pls
extend my kudos to Aunty Hauwa. She used to be my strength in CUPS. July
