Everybody knew Sam Nda Isaiah
On
By Ali M. Ali
This year, 2020 will go down in history as the year I wrote the most tributes-some long, some short to eulogise the departed, not to glorify the living.
I am penning one more today on the death of Sam Nda Isaiah, late Publisher of Leadership Newspapers Group. I pray it will be the last one this year. In 2019, I wrote three tributes, two of them to celebrate icons in my corner of the world (media) who turned 60. First, it was Prince Nduka Obaigbena, publisher of ThisDay in July and Garba Shehu, a presidential spokesman in November of that year. And there was a dirge for my sister, Safiya who died in August. Though younger, she fretted like a mother.
