*IRIGWE DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION (IDA)*

RE- SUSPECTED IRIGWE YOUTH AND THEIR MOURNERS ALONG RUKUBA ROAD OF JOS NORTH ATTACKED A CONVOY OF FIVE BUSES OF MUSLIM FAITHFUL

*_Press Statement*_

As every life is considered sacrosanct , inviolable and revered by God so, a Rigwe man respect and value human life.

As part of people who believe in oneness and sanctity of human life,we want tow the path of humanity and peace by condemning the act of violence and skirmishes that occurred along Rukuba Road Jos today(14/8/2021) where some criminal elements engaged commuters in an ungodly act which led to several lost of lives. We deeply sympathize with the families of those whose members were affected and pray for the quickest recuperation of the injured.

However, we want to condemn in the strongest terms the sentimental, biased and unprofessional statement issued today by the Plateau State Command via the Police Public Relation Officer (PPPRO), ASP Ubah Gabriel Ogaba that " A group of Attackers suspected to be Irigwe Youth and their mourners along Rukuba Road of Jos North attacked a convoy of five buses with Muslim faithful who were coming back from annual Zirk prayer in Bauchi State and heading to Ikare in Ondo State."

It's a known fact that Rukuba Road as a cosmopolitan area does not only habitat Rigwe people and so, the prompt and swift ethnic inclination or attachment is not only a display of partiality in the act of discharging duty but a demonstration of nonobjectivity, sidedness, partisanship and prejudice against Rigwe people.

One would wonder the level of investigation and interrogation that have taken place in less than 5 hours to come out the identity of culprits and perpetrators where as it has taken them years to investigate yet no revelation of the identity of people who have terrorized and still terrorizing almost every part of Nigeria.

It would be recalled that Rigwe nation has been under attack for more than three weeks and they have never issue a statement neither to attach an identity of the perpetrators in spite of numerous submission of names of suspects but have been comfortably using the profile "UNKNOWN GUNMEN"

Furthermore, viewing at the prompt arrival of the CP and GOC and the desired interests demonstrated with solid reiterated call for a swift investigation to bring out the perpetrators, but without such commensurate quickly and timely action taken and voice heard when the Rigwe people were attacked, killed, displaced, houses, food stuff including grown crops mowed down in days, just within the areas where the Headquarters and Barracks of the 3rd Armed Division is located, without such prompt action by the GOC and the CP, it had made them greatly suspicious culprits in the attacks and killings of the Rigwe people.

Let it also be known to the general public that the identity of the suspects the police claimed they arrested in connection with the Killings of three Rigwe women on the 10th August,2021 has not been released or publicised.
The culprits must be faceless people or ghost even in police detention we think.

It's on record that Rigwe people spent the day mourning and bidding final farewell to the six(6) out of over 70 people killed by Fulani militias and so had no time to engage in such unholy and nefarious act.

To add,as peace-loving as Rigwe Person is , not taking laws into our hands has been something that our people have been well oriented and sensitized on and so,does does not partake in acts that are capable of bringing disrepute to the Rigwe name, Plateau State and Nigeria.

While we still mourn and grief,we kindly ask the Police Command to withdraw such an unfounded statement that is capable of tarnishing and ruining the image of Rigwe people as well compound the sorrow state of the people and concentrate on consoling and pacifying the Rigwe people over the uncountable losses their lack of preventing the militias from attacking us has caused the nation.

We strongly advise the Police and other Security Agencies to channel their energy and time in devising means of arresting those who have been fingered as the major people unleashing terrors in this nation rather than profiling a peaceful tribe with criminality.

We finally want to use this medium to express our gratitude to all those who contributed and participated in one way or the other during today's mass burial of our people,may God bless you infinitely.

We also wish to thank the various security outfits in the state who distinguished themselves in their line of duty such as the Police, Operation Safe Haven, and the Operation Rainbow who were on ground from the Plateau Specialist Hospital to the burial ground to provide us with adequate security ensuring that the program went out well and successful.

In the same vein,we urge all Rigwe people to continue to demonstrate that peaceful and calmed people we are known.

God bless

Signed

Christianity EtcInterpretive Issues On Head Covering In The Church by Emedu(op): 4:15am On Jul 25, 2021
There are several key sections of 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 that Bible commentators and Christian congregations have held differing opinions about, which have resulted in a diversity of practices regarding the use of headcoverings.


Gender-based headship: Paul connects the use (or non-use) of headcoverings with the biblical distinctions between each gender. In 1 Corinthians 11:3, Paul wrote, "Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman." He immediately continues with a gender-based teaching on the use of headcoverings: "Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head. But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head."


Glory and worship: Paul next explains that the use (or non-use) of headcoverings is related to God's glory during times of prayer and prophesy. In 1 Corinthians 11:7, he states that man is the "glory of God" and that for this reason "a man ought not to have his head covered." In the same verse, Paul also states that the woman is the "glory of man." He explains that statement in the subsequent two verses by referring to the woman's creation in NASB, and then concludes, "Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head" (verse 10). In other words, the "glory of God" (man) is to be uncovered during times of worship, while the "glory of man" (woman) is to be covered.


Angels: In 1 Corinthians 11:10, Paul says "Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels." Many interpreters admit that Paul does not provide much explanation for the role of angels in this context. Some popular interpretations of this passage are (1) An appeal not to offend the angels by disobedience to Paul's instructions, (2) a command to accurately show angels a picture of the created order (Ephesians 3:10, 1 Peter 1:12), (3) a warning for us to obey as a means of accountability, since the angels are watching (1 Timothy 5:21), (4) to be like the angels who cover themselves in the presence of God (Isaiah 6:2), and (5) not to be like the fallen angels who did not stay in the role that God created for them (Jude 1:6).


Nature and hair lengths: In 1 Corinthians 11:13–15, Paul asks a rhetorical question about the propriety of headcoverings, and then answers it himself with a lesson from nature: "Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering." In this passage, some see Paul as indicating that since a woman naturally "covers" her head with long hair, she likewise ought to cover it with a cloth covering while praying or prophesying. Others interpreters see the statement "her hair is given to her for a covering" as indicating that all instances of headcovering in the chapter refer only to the "covering" of long hair.


Church practice: In 1 Corinthians 11:16, Paul responded to any readers who may disagree with his teaching about the use of headcoverings: "But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God." This may indicate that headcoverings were considered a standard, universal Christian symbolic practice (rather than a local cultural custom). In other words, while Christian churches were spread out geographically and contained a diversity of cultures, they all practiced headcovering for female members.



Interpretive conclusions and resulting practices Edit
Due to various interpretive issues (such as those listed above), Bible commentators and Christian congregations have a diversity of conclusions and practices regarding headcovering. One primary area of debate is whether Paul's call for men to uncover their heads and women to cover their heads was intended to be followed by Christians outside of the First Century Corinthian church. While some Christian congregations continue to use headcoverings for female members, others do not.

Some churches[who?] view Christian headcovering as a practice that Paul intended for all Christians, in all locations, during all time periods and so they continue the practice within their congregations. They base their interpretation on the God-ordained order of headship,


Another interpretation is that Paul's commands regarding headcovering were a cultural mandate that was only for the first-century Corinthian church. Often, interpreters will state that Paul was simply trying to create a distinction between uncovered Corinthian prostitutes and godly Corinthian Christian women. Under that interpretation, a church will not practice Christian headcovering.


Some Christians believe that Paul stated that long hair is the covering, when it comes to modesty (see 1 Corinthians 11:14–15).Feminist theologian Katharine Bushnell provides another interpretation that similarly teaches that Paul was not intending for women to cover their hair with a cloth covering, for modesty.
