Ishaq Akintola, director of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has accused southwest governors of turning Amotekun into a Christian Militia by recruiting only Christians.
This accusation was contained in a statement on Friday, while he further alleged that applicants for the ongoing recruitment have been mandated to submit birth certificates registered only in churches.
He said the five Christian governors are ganging up to turn Amotekun to a “crusader militia”, as one out of the six governors in the region is a Muslim.
His words, “Let us make our stand on Amotekun clear from the beginning. MURIC is not allergic to any state or region taking steps aimed at rubber-cushioning the effect of the security challenges currently facing Nigeria. But the approach must be transparent, assuring and all-embracing. ”
“We have no objection to Amotekun. But ‘good intention’ appears lacking in the preparations for it as a security unit that will complement the work of the conventional security agencies. It appears shrouded in secrecy while attempts are being made to marginalize Muslims in the recruitment exercise.
“Or how does one describe the social media advertisement in which applicants are being requested to bring birth certificates from the church. This is most outrageous. Amotekun has not started, but we are already seeing symptoms of Christianisation and Islamophobia.
“Are the job vacancies which Amotekun is certain to open meant for Christians only? Are the southwest states declaring their state as Christian states? Are they joining Nyesome Wike of Rivers in a Christian enclave? Is Amotekun a secret Christian army? Only one out of the five governors in the region is a Muslim. Are the Christian governors ganging up to form a crusader militia?
“Why then must applicants bring birth certificates from churches? Are we sure that this will not be followed by a request for applicants to bring referral letters from pastors? Handlers of Amotekun owe us an explanation.”
kenneth3428: BREAKING: Uche Nwosu Petitions Supreme Court To Declare Him Imo Governor
Mr. Uche Nwosu, the son-in-law to former governor of Imo State, Owelle rochas Okorocha, has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court seeking to be declared the governor of the State.
Mr. Nwosu premised his appeal on the Supreme Court judgement that he was the candidate of Action Alliance [AA] and the All Progressives Congress [APC] at the same time during the 2019 governorship election held in the state.
Nwosu’s candidature, it could be recalled, was nullified by the apex court for vying the governorship election on two platforms simultaneously, AA and APC.
In a twist of events, the Court went ahead on Tuesday and removed the governor of the state, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] and declared the APC candidate, Senator Hope Uzodinma the duly elected governor of the state.
Senator Uzodinma finished fourth in the election behind Uche Nwosu who came second and Chief Ifeanyi Ararume of the All Progressives Grand Alliance [APGA] who came third.
Consequently, the AA candidate returned to the Supreme Court and urged the court to declared him the winner of the election haven garnered the second highest vote after PDP’s Emeka Ihedioha.
The latest Supreme Court judgement has generated a lot of controversy as the total figure of voters arrived at by the apex court differs with a margin of over 100,000 votes from that issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC].
See below:
Total Accredited Voters as published by INEC: 823,743.
Total Valid Votes after Supreme Court allocation: 950,952.
maynation: All of a sudden, Bokoharam is no longer an issue, Fulani herdsmen ravaging their lands means nothing to them again. The lifeless Al'majiris littering every nook and cranny of their cities doesn't matter anymore. Amotekun is the only reason they haven't turned the most powerful and productive state in the entire universe
Awon eleeribu.

I quite agree with afenefere on this. The money spent on buying this vehicles would have been used to charter enough chickens and goats for Sango and he will do the needful,.. Sheldon's.
Nigerian high commission in Iraq has placed her citizen on high alert in case there is any war her citizens are hereby mandated not to leave any damaged vehicles and abandoned property's in attended to.. while the presidency has ordered for immediate export of axes and Monday hammers to Iraq for ngwuka careiedability if you know you know.
zakim: The Buhari Media Organisation has rejected a report by the United Nations World Food Programme that without a rapid response and greater investment, Nigeria is at a risk of sliding into a hunger crisis this year. The WFP had listed Nigeria alongside Zimbabwe, South Sudan, Haiti, Central Sahel (Mali, Burkina Western Niger), Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, Southern Africa, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Libya, Bolivia and Ethiopia.
In a statement by Niyi Akinsiju and Cassidy Madueke, Chairman and Secretary of the pro-Buhari group respectively, the BMO described the report as a “hollow and presumptuous” which did not reflect true situation in the country. “We acknowledge WFP’s humanitarian assistance in a part of North-East Nigeria, but we are shocked that it listed the country among ‘potential flashpoints’ to look out for in the New Year’.
“There is no doubt that the UN agency and its partners require greater investment in view of the scope of work they need to handle across the world in 2020, but we won’t accept a situation where Nigeria is painted in a bad light. “Yes, there is a crisis in a part of the North East which was referenced in the report titled ‘WFP Global Hotspots 2020: Potential flashpoints to look out for in New Year’, but there has not been a recent upsurge in violence in the region of the magnitude reflected in the report.
“Besides, the crisis has been largely restricted to a part of Borno, which is just one out of 36 states making up the country and we do not see how that could be interpreted to mean that Nigeria may face a hunger crisis with the type of bumper harvests it has recorded in recent years,” the statement read.
legendarystar: King Koko succeeded in capturing 60 white men as hostages, as well as, several goods and ammunition, though he lost 40 of his men.
King Koko agreed to release his white hostages in exchange for being allowed to choose his trading partners but the British refused to negotiate with Koko, who subsequently killed 40 of the hostages.
As retaliation, Britain’s Royal Navy attacked the area of Brass (Nembe) and burned it to the ground on February 20, 1895, killing many people in the town.
The British, by April 1895, had resumed their normal operations while King Koko was on the run. The people of Brass were fined £500 (today’s $35) by the British while the looted weapons and the surviving prisoners were returned.
King Koko was also reportedly offered terms of settlement by the British, but he rejected it and disappeared.
He was declared an outlaw by the British. He, however, committed suicide in exile in 1898.
The Brass war, however, negatively affected public opinion in Britain against the Royal Niger Company, hence the company’s charter was revoked in 1899.
Following this, the Royal Niger Company sold its holdings to the British government for £865,000 (1.1 million dollars).
That was the amount Britain paid to acquire the area that would later be known as Nigeria.
beautiful peace of history of.. but I beg to disagree were you said"the royal Niger company is today known as unilever".. The fact is that, Unilever was actually lever brothers a consortium owned by two brothers that started there business as import merchants in Britain long before time.along side, Tate and Lyle which operated in Nigeria in the 70s till in the late 80s were it went bankrupt in Nigeria. But the royal Niger company was in fact the u. a. c you know of today.. you can research that... once again thanks for the post.
TheGiftedOne: Sad! My condolences to the bereaved.
There are just more than 1'001 ways to die in Nigeria and a million and one reasons to leave the country. Common venom our hospitals no get. Tufiakwa!
Meanwhile snakes are cold blooded animals, so during this harmattan season, they'll be searching for warm places to get some heat.
I use God beg una always check behind all those items close to the wall to avoid wahala. Clear your environment of useless household properties and grasses. no dey chook chook hand inside tight corners.

The minister came and would go with a chopper because he knows eastern roads are full of gullies and bucket holes. Erosion has eroded many of the roads even the one connecting the airport..
Their flat head governors would not use their brains to improve the roads across the east.
just go through your post and convince yourself that you made sense.
urahara: I wonder how grazing on another mans land is their fundamental human right.
That's the more reason why this country must be restructured. it's high time we put everyone to his place cos this flagrant display of impunity is the greatest threat to our nation today.
looks can be deceptive but from the report it was stated that he drove them to the bank himself.. and according to his statements he decided his family were under siege by the same robbers. so the police should carryout independent investigation over to hllllll

[quote author=horsepower101 post=85326085][b]Give Rochas Okorocha his due and respect. All these projects started under his administration. As much as I disagree with somethings about him, I cannot take away his oga Rocha's never attracted Jack to IMO and stop giving glory a man that never played a role in the success of this scheme... somebody wey no fit complete ordinary flyover na this huge project him go do?
oga the assa gas project was attracted by osita izunaso when he was the house commuter chairman on gas resources during ohakims tenure the project blue print was anniunced and the necessary joint venture arrangements were concluded in Rochases second tenure and mobilization started towards the end of Rochases tenure to enemas.. so neither, Rocha's, ihedioha, or Buhari did anything rather it's an investment drive born as a result of a successful exploration and discovery of the abundant gas. reserve domiciled in the said location.. am speaking cos am a contractor in the project presently.
Nonsense... as of the time ihejireka was removed Boko haram had penetrated everywhere in the north with death toll up to 12,000 and 100,000 displaced
Ihejirika was helpless, soldiers dis obeyed him due to his corrupt tendencies, he clearly was aloof while the whole world where on Jonathan cursing and insulting him while service chiefs were cashing in dorlas
AllNews1: A video showing President Muhammadu Buhari seeming refusal to offer Senator Oluremi Tinubu a handshake while greeting other dignitaries on the sidelines of the E-Nigeria International Conference, Award and Exhibition in Abuja on Thursday has generated debate on Twitter.
In the video which is about 18 seconds long, Buhari is seen alighting from his official Mercedes Benz at the International Conference Centre, Abuja after which he is welcomed by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.
afonjas I no wan shake you na by force?...hahahahqhah so buharis handshake will stop her from mensuratfing...pls poster a bag of rice is now 32k down south that is more news worthy to Nigerians than the scrappy headline you posted above.
Gucciblog: A video of President Buhari not shaking hands with Senator Remi Tinubu at the 2019 E-Nigeria International Conference, Award and Exhibition in Abuja yesterday November 28th, has got people talking.
Some Nigerians query why he did not shake her like the other male government functionaries. Others however argued that as a Muslim, he is not expected to shake any woman.
This was however countered by some Nigerians who pointed out that the President shook hands with German Chancellor, Angela Merkel when they met sometime ago.
Others argue that the Minister of Communications, Isa Pantami, failed to introduce Senator Tinubu properly to President Buhari, hence his failure to shake her hands.
Mr blogger pls edit the title to afonjas argue over thevhadshake bulcrap,than the obvious otherwise..no nonafonja gives a hut over the handshake brohaha, after all there is no crime in a master refusing to recognize the wife of his slave.
