PoliticsI Hope Nigerians Will Cherish All My Administration Has Done – Buhari by kennyify88(op): 4:08am On Jun 19, 2021
President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that he will continue to work dedicatedly to achieve the objectives that the administration set out to achieve in 2015.



The President said this Friday at State House Abuja, when he received in audience members of the Muhammadu Buhari and Osinbajo Dynamic Support Group, who came for the official presentation of their book titled – A Compendium of 5-Year Achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Administration from 2015 – 2020.



“The MBO Dynamic Support Group Officers and team members saw the good in our Administration from the time we came in 2015.



It is this commitment that led to the production of the book, and I sincerely hope and believe that Nigerians will always see and cherish positivity in all that this Administration has done as it continues to work assiduously to accomplish,” said the president.
He commended the organisation for the support and the efforts to come up with the publication as it will serve as a documentation of some of the administration’s achievement:



“The birth of this book from inception to production is due to the unrelenting efforts of the MBO Dynamic Support Group Officers and over two million group of supporters that have continuously stood by our Administration in our quest to deliver on our social contract to all Nigerians and ensure the dividends of democracy to our people.



“I am extremely pleased with the production team and those who travelled across the country monitoring and collating data on our projects to enable us present an evidence based account of our stewardship.”



President Buhari thanked them for braving all challenges, sacrificing time and resources to ensure that the project came to life:



“Despite the global challenges of COVID-19 that impeded socio-economic activities of the world including our country Nigeria in 2020, you all worked tirelessly with limited resources and by tasking one another to produce this historic book.



“We recognise and appreciate your drive, skills, creative abilities and your personal resources invested in this project and immense devotion to produce the book.



“I thank you once again for your unwavering commitment to this Administration and legacy and look forward to the wide circulation of our achievements perfectly captured in this book to all citizens and those willing to see that we succeed to the end for the benefit of all.

PoliticsBuhari: Nigerians Love Me, That’s Why I’m Paying Them Back by kennyify88(op): 3:28am On Jun 18, 2021
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he is committed to serving Nigerians because of the love the citizens have for him.

According to Buhari, providing adequate security and livelihood is a debt of gratitude he owed Nigerians for giving him the opportunity to serve.

Buhari spoke at the palace of the Shehu of Borno on Thursday, recalling how he started his administrative career as a military officer in Borno State as a governor for seven months.

“My commitment to serve Nigerians is a payback for the love shown to me. I started my political adventure in Maiduguri and I always look forward to coming here,” he added.

Speaking further, Buhari commended State Governor for his forthrightness, resilience and drive in bringing development to the state, despite security challenges.

The President noted that very few leaders will take the risks Governor Zulum had taken over the years to protect his people and promote peace and development, especially in putting his life on the line by spending nights with vulnerable people.

EventsFamily Plans TB Joshua’s Burial For July 9 by kennyify88(op): 12:55pm On Jun 14, 2021
The late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Pastor Temitope Joshua may be buried on July 9, 2021 on the premises of his church in Lagos State.


Joshua died last week in Lagos State at the age of 57.
A member of the family, who spoke on condition of anonymity on Sunday, said the date was fixed after the immediate and extended members of the family of TB Joshua met at the residence of the deceased in Lagos State on Friday.


The family decision is contrary to the expectation of the monarch of Arigidi Akoko, Oba Yisa Olanipekun, and some other traditional rulers in the Akoko area, who wanted the late pastor buried in his hometown, Arigidi Akoko.



The traditional rulers were of the opinion that if the late cleric was taken to his hometown for burial, it would further give the town global recognition as the deceased’s worshippers all over the world would want to visit it to see his tomb and would also make the church to continue the project already embarked upon by the late founder.


But the family member said the wife, Evelyn, and the children of the late cleric prevailed on the other family members over the burial place and date at the meeting.


The source said the burial arrangement would take place between July 5 and July 9, 2021
He said, “The extended family members, his (Joshua) wife and children held a meeting on Friday and it was decided that he should be buried in Lagos and the burial programme will be between July 5 and 9.


“It was on the insistence of the wife and the children that the other family members agree on the place of burial because they said they saw revelations that he should be buried in Lagos. Since they said it was spiritual, the family agreed with them.”


However, one of the community leaders in Akokoland, Chief Ladi Bello, said since the decision had been taken on the burial arrangement of the deceased, the ongoing project left behind in Arigidi Akoko by the late pastor hould not be abandoned.


“Now that the burial will take
place in Lagos, his legacies must be sustained while his projects in Akokoland should not be abandoned,” Bello urged.


Meanwhile, SCOAN did not hold any of its three services on Sunday as the church remained shut.


Our correspondent who visited the church on Sunday, however, noted that the main gate remained open for pedestrians, church staff and visitors.


Also, residents of the area said business had been poor since the demise of the cleric


A resident, who gave his name as Kunle, added that they expected that it would get worse.


“All hotels will really suffer. People who come from far and wide to visit the prophet lodge there, but things will not be the same again. ”

PoliticsUS Kicks Against Ban On Twitter By Buhari Govt by kennyify88(op): 2:47pm On Jun 06, 2021
The United States Government has kicked against President Muhammadu Buhari government’s decision to ban Twitter in the country.
The US condemned the ban and described it as a poor message to citizens and investors.
The US Mission in Nigeria in a statement on Saturday said the Nigerian constitution provides for freedom of information.
Recall that the Nigerian Government, through the Ministry of Information and Culture had on Friday banned the social media platform indefinitely in the country.
This happened a few days after Nigerians on Twitter had pleaded with the operators of the platform to suspend President Muhammadu Buhari over his war threat on people of the Southeast Region.
UK states position on suspension of Twitter in Nigeria
Twitter had in response, deleted the controversial tweet. The decision was said to have angered the government which in return banned Twitter.
In a statement, the US Mission said, “Nigeria’s Constitution provides for freedom of Information. The Government’s recent #Twitterban undermines Nigerians’ ability to express this fundamental freedom and sends a poor message to its citizens, investors and businesses.
“Banning social media and curbing every citizen’s ability to seek, receive, and impart information undermines fundamental freedom.
“As President Biden has stated, our need for individual expression, open public conversation, and accountability has never been greater. The path to a more secure Nigeria lies in more, not less communication, alongside concerted efforts toward unity, peace, and prosperity.

Senator Dino Melaye, who represented the
Kogi West Senatorial District during the 8th
National Assembly has said Nigerians who
remain alive after President Muhammadu
Buhari’s tenure, should be issued a
certificate for survival.


DAILY POST reports that the president has
been under verbal attack since Tuesday
over his comment threatening to deal with
some elements in Southeast for allegedly
attacking security operatives and
government facilities in the region.


Buhari, while receiving briefing from the
Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, Chairman on the recent
destruction of the commission’s properties
in the Southeast, said those behind the
attacks would soon receive the shock of
their lives.


Insecurity: We didn’t vote Garba Shehu,
Buhari should address Nigerians – Dino
Melaye
Many concerned Nigerians have
reprimanded the president for allegedly
threatening to launch ‘genocide’ attacks
against the people of Southeast.


Following the outrage by Nigerians who
took to their social media handles to
lambast the president over the alleged
threat, Twitter deleted the president’s
controversial tweet.


In his own reaction, the former lawmaker,
citing the numerous challenges currently
bedeviling the entire nation, said Nigerians
who survive the current administration
should be greeted with “happy survival”.


He made the remake on Wednesday via a
post on his verified Facebook page.


The post reads, “Wallahi truly speaking

PoliticsNnamdi Kanu Is Your Son, Discuss With Him – Ohanaeze Chieftain Tells Buhari by kennyify88(op): 11:22am On May 30, 2021
A chieftain of the Igbo socio-political organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to engage Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, and other agitators in a roundtable discussion. Ibegbu said Kanu would put an end to his agitations if Buhari calls him to a father- son discussion. Speaking exclusively with DAILY POST, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze said Buhari should extend the same gesture to IMN and other agitators in a bid to stop the push for secession. According to Ibegbu: “Buhari does not want to sit and talk to agitators. A good leader will call those with grievances for discussion. Instead of using the police and army to fight your home citizens and killing them, call them to a round table discussion. “Buhari should call Nnamdi Kanu saying look “you are my son what is your problem? Can’t we build a better Nigeria? How do you want Biafra?’ Kanu will say, “father, this is how I want Biafra’ and Buhari will say no, let’s have a round table discussion to solve this problem.’ “Let me tell you, if Buhari does this, Nnamdi Kanu will see him as a father that cares for his son and would stop all these things. Then he will meet with El-Zakzaky’s people, telling them, ‘I know you want an Islamic state but it’s not possible in a nation like Nigeria. However, you can have your religious freedom, and I will release your leader. You will see that El-Zakzaky and his men will calm down.’ “Then Buhari will come to Boko Haram, telling them ‘look, we can’t have an Islamic state in amercenariesic group, I can give you amnesty’. “If they refuse and opt to continue fighting, then he should invite mercinaries to crush them.”
PoliticsObiano: I Am The Only Nigerian Governor Who Does Not Receive Monthly Salary by kennyify88(op): 3:35pm On May 24, 2021
Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, weekend, said he is the only Nigerian governor who do not receive monthly salary.

The governor explained that after his tax has been deducted from his salary, he sends the remaining balance to homes of destitute for their upkeep, adding that he has been rendering self-service for the state.

He made the disclosure at his country home, Aguleri, Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State shortly after inspecting the Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport at Umueri.

The governor who also described himself as “a man of classical quality,” said the airport was built with the best of facilities as can be obtained in any international airport of repute.

Earlier during the inspection, the state Commissioner for Works, Engr. Marcel Ifejiofor, who conducted the governor and his entourage round the airport facilities said the international airport is Class 4F which can take any aircraft.

He also said “The orientation is that the aeroplane can land at either side of the runway. That was what happened on April 30th, 2021, when we did the test flight, one landed on 024 and the other one landed on 06. This airport has two Runway Air Safety Areas, RASA. This is the only airport in Nigeria with this type of RASA. It has category two light which means that the airplane can land at the worst of any weather in this airport.

“It also has satellite facilities which mean that if the light is not working, aircraft can land with the satellite facilities. So with what we have on this airport, it would be difficult to have a cancelled flight.

“It is the only airport in Nigeria with this type of satellite facilities. This is the only airport in Nigeria that is current with the Friction Test. Before the airplane landed on the 30th, we carried out the test and got 0.79 which is the highest so far in this country. The height of the Control Tower is 34.5.”

The Commissioner, who said that work on the airport would be completed in no distance time, assured that passengers who would use the airport would have the best of air travel experience.

While lauding the governor for the legacy project, the chairman of Nsukka Journalists Foundation, NJF, Chijioke Amu-Nnadi, who led a team of journalists from Nsukka extraction in Enugu State to the airport during the inspection, said the project will guarantee slow but steady re-ordering of the economy of the South East Region.

Amu-Nnadi also described the governor as a visionary leader who has left an enviable legacy as the governor of Anambra State. He commended him for the working relationship between him and his Chief Press Secretary, James Eze, who is also a member of NJF.

PoliticsYou Are Ordering An Already Stained Flag To Stay Half – Nigerians To Buhari. by kennyify88(op): 2:19pm On May 24, 2021
Nigerians have blasted President Muhammadu Buhari for ordering the Nigerian flag to fly at half mast in all public buildings and facilities in honour of Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, the late Chief of Army Staff, saying the flag is already blood- stained. Buhari also approved a work free day for members of the Armed Forces on Monday May 24. DAILY POST recalls that Attahiru and others, who lost their lives in the plane crash, were buried on Saturday with President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo absent. He, however, sent delegates led by the Chief of Defense Staff General Leo Irabor to the burial. Also in attendance were, Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; SGF, Boss Mustapha, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Isiaka Oladayo Amao; Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State and the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, among others. Reacting some Nigerians said the directive to fly the National Flag at half- mast was an afterthought and damage control due to the criticism it received from Nigerians. Others said the flag has been desecrated after the #EndSARS shooting of peaceful protesters at Lekki toll gate, Lagos State. Here are some comments DAILY POST gathered from Twitter.

@Dee_Lordson007, ”Hoist flag to show what ? Isn’t that the same flag #EndSars protesters waved and hoist when the so call Nigerian Army went to kill them 20/10/2020? They were even singing the National Anthem. Have y’all agreed to the fact of that? Have y’all shown any remorseful act? I stopped believing in the Flag on 20/10/2020. Nigerians May forgive the Army but people like me won’t do that those that died died in the plane crash had families so does those that y’all shot during the protest. You can shut our mouth but not our brain and our heart.”


@Banky__moon, ”President Buhari could not even come out on National TV to join the nation in mourning the lost of the COAS and his crew. Instead we had his aides talking and you wonder why Mazi Nnamdi Kanu keeps saying that Buhari is dead and that there’s an impostor at ASO ROCK.

@Benwealth01, ”What is more honorable to do to a man that died in active service than attend his burial or declare holiday in his honor. Doing these because Nigerians have been calling you out is not the best, rather being proactive is the best not reactive, you could as well send VP.”

@RSpotless1985, ”Effect of criticism on the President’s attitude towards the death of these Officers.”

@Otagbuo_Orie, ”The flag has been desecrated after the #EndSARS shooting of protesters. It has lost honor. May you get the wisdom to honor your #COAS and his soldiers who lost their lives. Amin.”

@Ahmad0048170681, ”Your attendance at their burial would have been more important than this useless directive.”

@chriscve4ik, ”Damage control. The worst form of government is the one that works on impulse. This is the main reason everything has fallen apart in the land.”

@Oviephilip01, ”He should have attended the burial of his General and not using this as a smoke screen. Highly disappointing, you the handlers are not helping him at all, tell him the truth!”

@iamowokoko, ”After how many days in a working country the flag would have been flown at half immediately the news was confirmed but hey this is Nigeria where the commander in chief is an ordained ILLITERATE.”

@MarammaAzil, ”The same people he failed to honour, the same people he failed to mourn with their families. At this point I will recite this nursery rhyme for him” shame, shame, shame, shame!It’s obvious Tom &Jerry get sense pass him.”

@PDP_2023, ”You are just waking up? You are not doing it because you want to. You are doing it because Nigerians called you out. CLUELESS!”

PoliticsIsrael: Christian Leaders Accuse Buhari Of Taking Sides With Palestine by kennyify88(op): 10:44pm On May 17, 2021
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of tactically siding with Palestine, a country at war with Israel.

Daramola Joseph, the National Secretary, in a statement Monday night warned Buhari against dragging Nigeria to join the Arab world to fight Israel.

The scribe referred to the comment by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey wherein he sought Nigeria’s support for Palestine.

In a rejoinder sent to DAILY POST, the Christian leadership declared that Nigeria is a secular state and not a Muslim nation.

“We are worried that Nigeria which was wrongly labelled an Islamic State because of her unlawful membership of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) has been taking side with the Palestinians since the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“On behalf of every Nigerian Christian, we call on the Federal government to reverse itself on the support that has been given to the Palestinians to date.

“For the record, millions of Nigerian Christians are in support of Israel against the position of the government.

We once again remind the Federal government and the National Assembly that Nigeria is not an Islamic State.”

CAN called on the International community to intervene in the ongoing bloody actions in the Middle East without bias if they truly wanted an enduring peace.

The body agreed with the United States of America that Israel has the right to defend herself against external aggression.

“We see no reason why Nigeria should take side with either of the warring factions”, the statement added.

The federal government says 476 websites have been created to publish fake news about President Muhammadu Buhari and his government.


Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, spoke on Monday in Abuja when he received officials of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR).


He regretted that the latest fake publication was on the Nigerian leader’s mental status.


“Recently, we unveiled almost 476 publication sites that are dedicated to daily engaging in churning out fake news to fight the government.”


Mohammed said the platforms claimed when Buhari was in the UK the last time, he was advised to step down because he could not recognise family members.


The minister added that traducers know that people are gullible and will make the fake news go viral.


He warned that unverified information was taking a new dimension and threatening the existence of the country.


Mohammed urged the NIPR to play its role and actively participate in the fight against fake news.

Ali Ndume, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Army has urged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to stop salaries of politicians and use the money to fight insecurity in the country.

The lawmaker made the call while urging Buhari to take the issue of security very seriously.

Ndume, who spoke with journalists in Abuja yesterday, said the government should source funds for security same way it did to fund infrastructure and other developmental projects in Nigeria.

He said: “The President should make the issue of security a priority.

”He should leave every other thing and concentrate on security. That means even if they will stop paying us and use the money to tackle security. Is it not when you are secured that you talk of other things? It is not only the politicians but everybody.

“If you know that you cannot move out of your house and they say sacrifice your salary, won’t you do it? Many people are working from home, yet they are being paid.

“They should stop paying salaries and address the whole issue of insecurity. If you don’t have money, stop paying salaries and allowances and use the money to provide security.

“If you are borrowing money to provide infrastructure, why can’t we borrow money to protect our people.”

PoliticsMbaka Begs Catholic Church, Bishop For Forgiveness by kennyify88(op): 5:24am On May 10, 2021
From www.sunnewsonline.com


SpiritualDirector, Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka has publicly apologised to the Catholic Church and Bishop Callistus Onaga for the unruly behaviour of his adherents in Enugu following rumours of his ‘disappearance’.


Members of the Adoration Ministry had marched around Enugu, last Wednesday, May 5, demanding the whereabouts of their pastor, Mbaka, who was feared to have been abducted.


The protesters stormed the home of the Enugu Bishop where they destroyed property, having accused him of knowing what had happened to Mbaka.


But, Mbaka, yesterday, sunday, went on his knees and apologised to Onaga, the Catholic church in Enugu and world-wide for all the damage his followers had done at the bishop’s house at Igbo Eze Street, Independence Layout Enugu, and Holy Ghost Cathedral, Ogui Enugu.



The visibly remorseful priest rendered the apology in a church service at Adoration Ground, Umuchigbo in Enugu East Local Government Area.


He explained that no one was sent to destroy property of the bishop and the church, while warning his followers to be faithful to the church at all times.


He maintained that he neither had issues with Bishop Onaga nor the church, but alleged that some persons wanted to pit him against the church.


He, however, declared that he would obey the church as a priest.


“My bishop and I are not arguing, there is no dispute between us.


A lot of people want to put conflict between us, but what’s inside of me won’t allow it to succeed,” Mbaka said.


“I do not fight the Catholic Church. It cannot happen. All I have is the church.



I have worked in the church for more than 25 years. Why should I start fighting it?”



“I go on my knees and apologise to the Catholic Church for everything that happened.



If I have said something wrong, please forgive me.”

He further instructed his followers to join in the one week prayer and fasting ordered by the bishop to seek God’s forgiveness for the desecration of the holy altar at Holy Ghost Cathedral, Enugu.
PoliticsChurch Leadership Planned To Keep Me For 30 Days Over Nnamdi Kanu – Mbaka by kennyify88(op):
From www.dailypost.com.ng

Charismatic Enugu priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has disclosed that the authorities of the Enugu Catholic Diocese were behind his two days ordeal.


DAILY POST had reported that there was heavy protest in Enugu on Wednesday over the reported missing of the Catholic Cleric.


Mbaka, who addressed his parishioners at the Adoration ground in Umuchigbo Nike, Enugu, said he was summoned by the Bishop from where he was kept incommunicado.


He said the plan was to keep him for 30 days.


He said a lot of issues were presented against him after which the Church leadership, led by Bishop Calistus Onaga told him that he would remain indoors for one month, a period that would allow him pray and meditate over his activities.


The priest said he requested to be allowed the opportunity to come and address his parishioners after which he would shut down, “but they said No.


Allow me to and celebrate mass for my people just for today, I won’t even tell them that I am being punished, they said, No.


I will just tell my members that I’m going for 30 days prayer, that after 30 days, we will come back and everybody will obey, they said, No.


“I also begged them to appoint another priest to come and celebrate mass for you today, they also said No.


“They didn’t treat me in a pastoral way. I was asking ‘am I being punished for what’?


“They said it was a meeting, but even before I reached the Bishop’s house, conclusion has already been made.


What happened to me was like the day I was shot on the road.


“Unfortunately for them, even before the meeting, a woman was already going around bragging that the Bishop will call me for a meeting, and that I was going to leave my house here for 30 days, and that after the 30 days, I would be sent to Rome, and Adoration ministry will be closed.


Mbaka cautioned that “in a time and cases like this, don’t give me a punishment that will cause troubles for us because I’m not alone.”


He said Bishop Onaga upon seeing the protest over his predicament, allowed him to go.


Mbaka said one of things presented against him was that he blessed Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as well as his recent criticism of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s Government.


“Are you the owner of my mouth? You can’t tell me who to bless? If you are not happy that I blessed someone, you have your own mouth, you can curse the person.


“I cannot hate my brother because of some people who hatred is in their genes,” he declared.

PoliticsBREAKING: Mbaka Reportedly Missing – Ohanaeze Raises Alarm, Warns FG by kennyify88(op): 11:24am On May 05, 2021
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, on Wednesday raised the alarm over the whereabouts of the fiery Enugu priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.


The cleric of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, has been in the news after he asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.


This was followed by a revelation by the presidency that he was attacking Buhari because he was refused a contract.


Ohanaeze Youth Council has now claimed that the priest was missing.


In a statement issued by the President-General of OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, he said Mbaka was last seen on Tuesday, adding that every effort to trace him had failed.


“We have it on good authority that his aides have neither seen nor heard from him since Tuesday.


“Calls put to his mobile line have also remained unanswered; this has now prompted us to issue this alarm as we would not take it lightly should anything untoward happens to him.


“We are giving the Federal Government 48 hours to produce the priest, else they should be ready to face Igbo youths.


They were dining and wining with him all along and now that he told the truth, they are no longer comfortable with him.


“Let nothing happen to Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka. It will not be in anybody’s interest,” the group warned.


Meanwhile, DAILY POST reached out to close aides of the Catholic Cleric, but they declined comment, noting that the picture was not clear yet.


“Today is the Wednesday programme, ‘E no dey again’, if he doesn’t officiate, it will then be clear that something is wrong,” one of them said.

CrimeSheikh Gumi: Bandits Use Ransom To Buy Weapons, Settle Informants by kennyify88(op): 9:50am On May 04, 2021
Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Shiekh Ahmad Gumi has disclosed that bandits use proceeds from kidnapping to purchase arms and settle informants.

Gumi disclosed this while dismissing claims that government officials and the elites are behind the increased activities of banditry in the North.

Speaking with DAILY POST, the cleric also disclosed that bandits are fighting an ethnic and not ideological war.

He said: “That was a small metamorphosis in the process, but now the bulk of the money they collect is used to buy weapons.

Bandits are independent now, and nobody influences them.

In fact, they buy informants now, and they are fighting an ethnic war which makes it easier because they are not fighting for ideology.”

Gumi also maintained that the current state of insecurity cannot paralyze Nigeria.

He pointed out that the number of those involved in banditry and kidnapping are small when compared to the population of Nigeria.

“There is a high state of insecurity, but it has not reached the state where it will paralyse Nigeria.

We still travel around despite more frequent and sporadic attacks.

“The issue has not got to the stage of paralysing Nigeria.

The active people involved are few, and I do not think they are more than 10, 000 actively engaged in kidnapping among the herdsmen,” he said.

He further urged the Federal Government to engage these bandits in a roundtable discussion with the view of ending the menace.

“Government should do the right thing, and honestly speaking, Nigerians have to swallow these bitter pills which is getting these people on a table and set in place a machinery to rehabilitate them,” Gumi said.

PoliticsApologise To Me Now, Bandits Can Kill You – Mbaka Tells Garba Shehu by kennyify88(op): 5:58am On May 03, 2021
Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry, located in Enugu, has told Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari to apologise to him.


Mbaka also warned Garba Shehu to trade with caution, adding that the President’s mouthpiece can also be killed by rampaging bandits.


Father Mbaka made the demand following Shehu’s recent claims that the clergyman came to Buhari begging for contracts and was disappointed.


Recall that Mbaka had last week asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign forthwith or be impeachedby the House of Representatives.


Angered by the cleric’s outburst, the Presidency, through Mr. Shehu had accused the priestof making the call now because he was denied a contract by Buhari.


Mbaka has now described Shehu’s claims as laughable, saying, “Garba Shehu that is talking, the bandits can kill him too.


No amount of security can save them if things get worse.


“They have shown they don’t have reward mechanism.

Shehu should be apologising to me.


“They are busy branding communities and states terrorists. If Kaduna, Benue, and other places are branded terrorist states, will Nigeria not be branded a terrorist country?”

CrimeInsecurity: Fear In Bauchi Over Influx Of People From Neighbouring States, by kennyify88(op): 8:08am On Apr 30, 2021
Despite being the gateway to the North-
East region which has witnessed
insurgency for over a decade now, leading
to the death of over 200,000 people and
about two million citizens displaced,
particularly in Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa
states, Bauchi State as of today enjoys
relative peace, though the state also battles
with its own form of insecurity, which,
however, does not lead to extreme fear as
experienced in other states.
Apart from a few pockets of Boko Haram
attacks in the past, Bauchi has remained
peaceful despite sharing its borders with
Kaduna and Kano in the North West where
banditry has taken deep roots, as well as
Plateau State, where Fulani herders and
farmers clash almost on a daily basis.
Multiple security sources confirmed to
DAILY POST that despite its relative peace,
some disgruntled elements still give
security agencies some cause for concern
in the state, saying, however, that for now,
efforts are being geared towards tackling
this with a view to sustaining the peace in
the state.
One of the sources confided in DAILY POST
that security operatives are working round
the clock with a view to ensuring that
bandits do not infiltrate the state in their
numbers, especially with the heat being
turned on them in North-West. According
to the source, there are some pockets of
bandits’ activities, including cattle rustling,
being witnessed in some places, including
in Burra forest, Gwaram, Toro and Alkaleri
areas of the state, but they are being
tackled head long by security agencies.
Recently, the state Commissioner of Police,
Abiodun Sylvester Alabi, while briefing the
press on efforts being made to combat
crimes and criminality in the state,
informed that the state police command
arrested some cattle rustlers, armed
robbers, kidnappers and bandits
terrorizing parts of the state and
recovered some items, including arms and
ammunitions from the criminal elements.
According to CP Alabi, a kidnap suspect
who ran from Safana, Katsina State was
arrested in Narbodo in Toro Local
Government Area of Bauchi State where he
ran to, after committing kidnapping,
adding that a notorious cattle rustler in
Safana LGA of Katsina State was also
arrested in Guggu forest where he was
taking refuge.
He informed that joint task force
operatives collaborating with a vigilante
group, Danga Security personnel while on
patrol along Riga forest base 1 at Duguri
Gwana area of Alkaleri Local Government
Area (LGA), ran into an assembly of some
dangerously armed bandits and
kidnappers, notoriously known for
terrorizing the Duguri area.
“This encounter resulted in a heavy gun
battle between our men and the criminals
which led to the killing of two of the
unknown armed bandits, while others
escaped with bullet wounds,” the police
boss had said, adding that an AK-47 rifle
with breach No.357843, a locally made
single barrel gun, sixteen (16) live
ammunition of 7.62mm calibre, two
cutlasses and a knife, large number of
bows and arrows were parts of the
exhibits recovered from the scene.
An operative of the Department of State
Services (DSS), who pleaded to remain
anonymous as he is not authorized to
speak to the press, informed DAILY POST
that despite the fact that Bauchi State is
not experiencing any activities of Boko
Haram, as being witnessed in other parts
of the North-East, security personnel were
not resting on their oars in order to secure
lives and property of the people of the
state.
According to him, “we are working round
the clock to tame kidnapping, banditry and
cattle rustling here before they become a
big monster in the state. Fortunately for us
– security agencies, the state government
has been supporting us in no small
measure to aid our jobs.”
Speaking on the security situation in the
state, a retired Nigerian Air Force (NAF)
officer, Air Commodore Ahmed Tijjani Baba
Gamawa (rtd), in an interview with DAILY
POST expressed happiness that Bauchi
State is peaceful despite being in the
North-East, submitting that, “in Bauchi, we
are very lucky; lucky in the sense that in
the whole of North-East region, it is only
Bauchi that is peaceful. If you see what is
happening in Maiduguri, what is
happening in Yobe, what is happening in
Gombe, Taraba and Adamawa, you will see
that those of us in Bauchi are very lucky.”
He attributed what he termed the
proactive action of the state governor,
Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, being
responsible for the peace being enjoyed in
the state. “He (Governor Mohammed) is
always in contact with security agencies,
giving them all the help they need. If you
remember, about three days ago, the
governor gave about 50 vehicles to
security agencies to enhance the security
situation in the State. Bauchi is a free zone
when it comes to security issue,” he said.
The retired NAF personnel informed that
despite some bandits’ activities in some
part of the state, the synergy among
security agencies in the state had
immensely helped in tackling the menace,
adding that security agencies were on top
of the situation in the state.
“They are always working day and night.
Because of their commitment, dedication
and loyalty, the governor is very impressed.
He has to give them vehicles with gadgets
and everything so that it would assist
them for the work they are doing. As a
result of that, there is that kind of
cooperation between them and they have
very good information gathering, which is
very important to fight insurgency and
banditry. So in Bauchi, we are very lucky.
We work as a team, as a family. As a result
of that, Bauchi State has a very good
security network.”
A civil servant working with the Federal
Government in the state, who simply
identified himself as Abubakar, while
commending efforts being made by the
government in ensuring Bauchi State
remains peaceful, called for more efforts
and vigilance, particularly on the part of
residents of the state, noting that, “while
the state government is making efforts to
sustain peace in the state, the people also
have a role to play. We have to supply
useful information to security agencies for
them to take prompt and timely actions to
prevent security breach.”
”As a result of its peaceful nature, there
have been the influx of people from the
North-West and neighbouring North-East
states into Bauchi State. This is with its
attendant negative impact on the State
with Governor Mohammed recently
lamenting that the influx of people from
neighbouring states into the state from
states has overstretched the state’s
infrastructures. He, however, said despite
this, his administration could not afford to
compromise the security of lives and
property of the people of the state.
“Our population has risen from the official
record of 6.5 million to about 10 million in
Bauchi, thereby, overstretching our
services and infrastructures.
“We have the highest number of out-of-
school children, therefore, there is
unemployment, youth restiveness and of
course, there are infrastructure and
service gaps in health, in education and
even in our transportation and the rest.
There is high expectation from the polity,
thereby overstretching our security
agencies,” he said.

PoliticsBuhari Has Refused To Tag Herdsmen Terrorists – Fr Mbaka by kennyify88(op):
From www.dailypost.com.ng

Catholic Priest and Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Fr Ejike Mbaka, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari of an impending disaster.


Mbaka who spoke at the Adoration Ministry in Enugu State on Wednesday noted that Buhari has refused to label killer herdsmen as ‘terrorists’ while his government is busy killing innocent Nigerians in the country.


According to him, until the Buhari-led government finds something for the youths, they are going to face disaster.


”Overseas have become dumping grounds for our Nigerian youths. Lawyers and doctors are fleeing the country to countries we are better off. Disaster is coming.


Until the government of the country finds something for our youth, they are going to face disaster.


”A time is coming when if you are asked to be a Senator, House of Representative member or Governor, you will run.



This is because we cannot continue like this. The leaders have suffered the youths and it’s time for the civilians to suffer the leaders.


”Enough of this rubbish.
The reason you come here for prayers are what the government should supply. One cup of rice or pot of soup, house rent and importation into the country have doubled.


”International communities cannot come and invest in Nigeria any more. Are we living or dying?


How can someone become a billionaire from what belongs to all of us and those who have the money are begging?


Many mothers cannot change pampers for their children. Our young ladies are thinking of going into prostitution, young men have nothing doing.”



The Cleric maintained that the deplorable state of the nation has led to cultism and idolatry.


He also warned leaders of the country to release money they are keeping for the 2023 election.



”Young men now visit native doctors to prepare charm.

The job of the government now is to kill people and call them terrorists instead of giving them jobs.


They said people should farm and now after farming, herdsmen will go and eat the crops and they will not be branded terrorists.



”Last week, it was jailbreak, we never heard of such things that are happening now.


If the government does not sit up and bring the money they are hiding for 2023, that 2023 will not come.



”It will be a story of tragedy. Nobody is safe in this country. Everywhere they are killing people. Only God is protecting us. What will it take to fix power?



We have millions of graduates doing nothing and the leaders are not ashamed.



Why should parents feed their children after training them?

You wonder why our parents don’t live long? Teachers are not well paid, policemen are not being taken care of. If they are killed on duty, no one takes care of their family, what kind of country is this?” he lamented.
PoliticsMbaka: Hope Uzodinma Killed While Alive, God Bless Nnamdi Kanu by kennyify88(op): 1:20pm On Apr 29, 2021
Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, Catholic Priest and Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, has accused the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma of organizing the killing of Imo State residents.

Mbaka said although he does not support terrorism, he stands against killing and labeling innocent youths of the country as ‘terrorists’.

He opined that the recent jail break in Imo State could be God’s way of releasing his people from prison.

Mbaka also wondered why the killing of a top commander of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, Ikonso Don was being celebrated.

The Cleric further warned the leaders to kill poverty, unemployment and insecurity, because God is angry with them, adding that those advising Uzodinma have killed him while he is still alive.

”I can never support terrorism, neither will I allow you to brand our children terrorists when they are not. If some people broke the prison in Owerri, if you caught them, arrest, interrogate them, it may be possible that no human being broke into that prison, it may be jailbreak from God.

”It happened in Acts of Apostle chapters 5. There was no jailbreak and nobody was arrested. God can set the prisoners free.

”For people to go around and kill our young men without trying them is evil. I’m just warning our Governors. Nigerians are dying like rats and nobody cares; God is angry with leaders, from Buhari to the last. You have failed God.

”Hope Uzodinma who came here and put his hand on this altar and swore he will protect the lives of Imolites is now organizing the killing of Imolites and he wants me to keep quiet?

”I was keeping quiet until the blood of my brother was shed. Never! Whoever will support that will suffer. How Is it difficult for the military, police and DSS to arrest one person? What if the person you killed is innocent of what he is accused of?

“You killed Ikonso and you are parading his body as if you have done anything. Go and kill poverty, unemployment, insecurity, you know how to kill, wicked people. God’s anger is on. No prophet will be spared if you keep quiet about what is happening in the country. If the leaders do not stop what is going on, it will stop them.”

He urged Nigerians to stop misquoting him because he is just a messenger of God and maintained that Buhari does not call him and he does not call Buhari.

”They said I was the one that prayed for Hope Uzodinma. Hope Uzodinma was like a vision that came to me, how am I involved in it? The message from God just passed through me, I don’t know his political story. Till today someone (Uzodinma) who became Governor has not come to give thanks to God here. I know If he is receiving advice from this sanctuary he will not be messing up. Those advising Uzodinma has killed him while he is still alive.”

Mbaka also prayed that God will bless IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

According to him, it is not wrong for someone to have courage and say that his people are being maltreated.

”I want you to know that up till today, I don’t know who is Nnamdi Kanu, I have never seen him face to face but wherever he is may God bless him. It is not a bad thing if someone has risen up to shout that his brothers are suffering, May the lord bless his courage.

”What is happening in this country is heartbreaking, tears shedding, nerve-racking and mind-blowing. Can our security agent and leaders account for us, how many people have died under one week or month? Students being kidnapped from the university and there is a leadership. It is either they are involved in it or they should stop or what is happening will stop them. Buhari, Hope and those who want to fight me, remember there was a time God told me to support you people now God has told me to withdraw and prophesy against you,” he added.

CrimeNo Govt In Nigeria, Buhari Helping Fulanis Take Over – Ortom by kennyify88(op): 7:22am On Apr 28, 2021
From
www.dailypost.com.ng

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom says the incessant killings in the state means that Nigeria does not have a government.


He lamented that over 70 people have been murdered in two weeks in Makurdi Local Government Area.


Ortom spoke to protesters on Tuesday at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Abagena village.


Suspected herdsmen, Monday night, killed citizens and wounded many others.


“What is happening now, to me, is very clear; Mr President is just working for these Fulanis to take over the whole country.”


He said Buhari’s body language is what is being played out and that the action and inaction of Mr President “shows that he is only the President of Fulani people”.


Ortom decried that attackers regularly send indigenes away from their homes, yet go to kill them where they take refuge.
Ortom called them “Fulani herdsmen”, stressing that “They are not bandits. They are Fulanis.


We saw and heard them speak the language.”


The Benue helmsman stated that the federal authorities have been dragging foot on the matter.


“If the federal government had taken a proactive step, we will not be where we are. In the last two weeks, over 70 persons have been killed just in Makurdi Local Government Area alone.”


Noting that the situation is not acceptable, Ortom said similar killings were going on in Guma and Gwer-West.


Ortom recalled he alerted Nigerians when Fulanis from 14 countries met in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.


He said they declared that except the prohibition of open grazing law was reviewed, “Benue will not know peace.”



The governor wondered why the federal government was yet to arrest the leaders of Miyetti Allah that hosted the meeting.



“It means we don’t have a government”, he declared.
“Mr President must do the needful and I want to suggest that immediately, let there be a security summit.


I am aware that the situation is prevalent in other parts of the country.”


On Monday, the police command in Benue State also confirmed the kidnap of three studentsof the Federal University of Agriculture in Makurdi.

She, however, said that the command had began investigation to unmask those behind the attack with a view to bringing them to justice.


“Hoodlums in the early hours of Tuesday, wielding dangerous weapons stormed the Federal High Court premises and burnt part of the building.


“Though no arrest has been made, investigation is ongoing.
“The Commissioner of Police, Mr Aliyu Garba, has promised to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice,” Odah said.


Meanwhile, a detachment of the Nigeria Mobile Police (MOPOL) has been drafted to the area to secure the court premises.
