As a Student: I started Primary Education in January 1985 at LGEA Primary School Tunkun, the only school in my village then. My parents ensured that I was always neatly dress in my school uniform (Blue & Brown) and taken to school as early as possible. While in the primary school, I was the reference point in term of neatness and punctuality. When I was in primary two there was a day one of my teachers Mr. Julius from Reak lifted me up on the assembly-ground for others to see how neat I was. Though it’s long, the memory is still fresh in my mind as if it just happened yesterday. In primary three, I was appointed the class captain. I became the Assistant Health Prefect while in primary five and Health Prefect in primary six, the final class then. Academically, I was just an average pupil. I was introduced to children Sunday School even before I started my primary education. Christianity as a religion will ever be the best heritage I shall inherit from my parents. I started my secondary education on 11th November 1991 at Government Science School Wase. While in form two (Bee) I was appointed the class captain, the post I maintained until I completed the secondary school. This was not because I was very intelligent. Like in the primary, I was an average student during my secondary education. Also, I was the Secretary, Literary and Debating society; Secretary, Dramatic club; Assistant secretary, Fellowship of Christian’s Students (FCS); and a Member of Press Club. I was a very good debater as I have many novels given to me as best speaker on several occasions. I was in Wase House (Green House). I completed my secondary education in 1996. Meanwhile, in my form four I was baptized in Wase (Buluga) by Reverend Amos Bongkat (peace be upon him) on 27th November 1994. Back home and in the church, I was the Assistant Secretary, COCIN Youth Fellowship Local Church Council (LCC) Kwanpe. I was also elected as the First Vice Chairman, Regional Church Council (RCC) Langtang, when RCC Wase was curved out in 1998. The election was conducted at Wase, Mr. Anthony Gosselle emerged the chairman of the new RCC Langtang. On 14th December, 1999 I was given admission to study Economics/ Social Studies at the College of Education Gindiri-Plateau state, with matriculation number CEG 4052/99. This mark the beginning of my turning point academically. I erupted as if I was a sleeping or dormant volcano. I became the star of my department. I became famous on campus with my involvement in campus politics and my friendly nature. In my second year on campus, I contested and won the post of Assistant Secretary, Nigerian Economics Student Association (NESA). In my final year I was the Secretary of College News Front (CNF). I was also elected as a Representative, School of Arts and Social Sciences into Students Representative Assembly (SRA). I was also the course leader of our department from second year till graduation. I graduated in 2002, see page 40 serial No 15 of the 12th to 27th (Sets 1994 to 2013) Joint Convocation Ceremony programme of event. Despite my responsibilities, I still shine brightly like the morning star. Eventually, I emerged the Best Graduating Student of Economics Department, the Best Graduating Student of Social Studies Department, the Best Graduating Student of General Education Department and the Overall Best Graduating Student (2002). See page 131, serial numbers 13, 17 and 19 of the above (Sets 1994 to 2013) Joint Convocation Ceremony programme of event, under the sub-title “2002 Best Graduating Students” (Full Time). Held on 17th December, 2013 at College Convocation square. Note: In Colleges of Education every student is expected to offer two teaching subjects or a single subject (double major) and Education which is compulsory for everyone. I was one of the twelve thousand students of tertiary institutions across the nation that were given Federal Scholarship Award for academic excellence [Certificate Number FSBA/FGSS: COE/1038] in the first batch, during the First Regime of President Olusengu Obasanjo between 1999-2003. The award certificate, the rules and regulations governing the award and other relevant documents quoted in this story are much available with me for confirmation. I had my teaching practice at Government Secondary School Namu-qua’anpan Local Government of the state in 2001. I was the Principal of the teaching practice staff posted to the station. During the exercise, I put in my best, my Philosophy lecturer, Mr. Peter Tuammen, one of my supervisors during the exercise assessed me as “above average”. I wrote my last examination at the college on 23/3/2002. You may which to refer to the record in school to confirm anything you so which, having the matriculation number quoted above in mind for easy tracing of the file. Having denied admission in to the University on several attempts even through UME, I enrolled for Computer Engineering @ ISP Computers Institute Kano, with registration number ISP\2007\3963, and by July 2007 I obtained my Diploma in Computer Engineering. Insisting on University Education, On 22nd September, 2012, I gained direct admission (200 level), at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), School of Education, Department of Business Education with Matriculation No: Nou120383879 and graduated in 2015 with B.Sc (Ed)(Hons) Second Class (Upper Division) Certificate No: 028752.

As Prof. Dakas C.J Dakas, SAN put it in the Unijos Inaugural Lecture Series 65, Thursday, November 6, 2014 (For the Sake of Present and Future Generations). Looking at my humbly background and were God has taken and is still taking me to, I am compelled to sing:

Great is thy faithfulness,great is thy faithfulness,

Morning by morning new mercies I see,

All I have needed thy hands hath provided,

Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.

Indeed, as this stanza of a delightful and didactic hymn aptly put it, God has been so faithful and gracious to me. The grace of God over my life is beyond measure. He has transformed my name from Lamentation to Songs of Solomon. I have been privileged to stand on the shoulders of giants and look beyond the horizons. As Sir Isaac Newton, a famous scientist, is reputed to have remarked, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants” the least I can do is to provide my own shoulders for other people to stand on and aim for the luminous summit.

As a Married man: I engaged Miss Lilian Maksim Stephen Jeplah of Dungwan, Kapil-Chip of Pankshin LGA on 4 May, 2008  and wedded her on 7th November, 2009 at COCIN LCC1 Kwanpe, Langtang North.

As an Employee: Immediately after my graduation from College of Education and upon the demand for my service by Government School Lipchok via Mr. Kundul Waidu the then Vice Principal of the school; I accepted and considered it as an opportunity to contribute my quota to the educational development of Taroh nation. I was employed as a P.T.A staff and taught Economics, Commerce and Business Studies. I left in January 2003 because of poor remuneration (N 3,000) per month. Though I stay brief in the school, I left behind positive indelible marks on the hearts of my students and colleagues. On 7th January 2003, I was in Kano state in search for greener pasture. While in Kano I stayed with my immediate younger brother Domnan of blessed memory who was a Police Officer then. Two days later in Kano, I was employed with Divine Life International School, Badawa Quarters. I was there until September 1st, 2004 when I joined Ebony Group of Schools, Hotoro branch (Corner Maggi), because of better paid. I stayed with Ebony until June 16th, 2006 when I left for Total Nigeria Plc, where I also served briefly at the defunct Far North Regional Office, Kano. I joined service of the Nigerian Prisons Service on 2nd January, 2009. My first station to serve was the State Headquarters, Jos as Computer Technician and was later transferred to Jos Prisons on 27th July, 2009 where I also worked as Computer Operator for Officer In-Charge (Admin). I attended my Six Months Basic Recruit Course (219) at Prisons Training School, Enugu from February through August 2012. I took 3rd and 5th positions in the first and second sessions respectively out of 365 participants of the course drowned from 20 different commands of the service, with Examination No: 219/BRC/2012/007. I was also the State Leader (Plateau) of the Course participants. Took Over Prisons ICT from DSP Ezra Gokir as ICT Officer, Plateau State Command on 19th August, 2016. In research methodology, I was told that literature review is part and percel of any research work. So in as much as I tried to be original in most of the articles on my site, I can not deny the fact that I borrowed/learned one or more things elsewhere. I therefore acknowleged the sources of my informations. History may not forgive me if I fail to mention one of my pals whom we share a lot of things in common despite religious differences, Destinysguy. You are invited to visit his site.www.destinysguy.5u.com He is one of thousands of nice muslim faithfulls one can hang around with. Don't mind the pictures you will see on his site. He is just being funny. See sample on the page of State Of Emergency In Nigeria. May I equally use this avenue to invite you to visit Plateau state, the Home of Peace and Tourism in Nigeria. This is a state in Nigeria you can't afford to miss while in the country. Hear what one scholar said about the state "surely if other parts of Nigeria have been like Jos the state capital of Plateau, the colonial masters would'nt have left without a good fight." I promised to give you brief history of the state. See my table of content. The building of this site is one of the projects I marked out for this year. Having completed it, I would like to dedicate to my parents, Nden Zhakom's family, Tunkun as a community, Taroh as a nation and above all, to God almighty.
