How much more can a woman be blessed? Though we will agree that God has blessed all its creatures with special gifts, we cannot but accept the obvious truth that some persons are highly favoured. This is more like a law of nature. Well, your pick of whom God has blessed enormously might differ from mine. Nevertheless, “Hajiya Dada” would always stand as one Noble woman that God has favoured.

Hajiya Dada is a strong and brave woman from Katsina whose womb has produced prominent and dignified personality in Nigeria’s political landscape. Right from her husband, most men and women that came from her pedigree were all influential people in the society. Mama gave birth to a one time president, governor, minister and first ladies.
Hajiya Dada’s Pedigree
Late Alhaji Musa Yaradua was her husband, Daddy was the former Minister of Lagos Affair where he submissively served his country in love.
Hajiya gave birth to Late President Umaru Musa Yaradua who’s praised as one of the best president Nigeria ever produced. Just two years of exemplary leadership earned Yaradua praises among Nigerians, even up till today. His sudden death remains forever a huge and disastrous death to the country. May his soul rest in peace!

Mothers are golden but Hajiya Dada was pure Gold from heaven. We pray God bless us just as He blessed Mama.
