Rt. Hon Benjamin Kalu officialbenkalu

Earlier today, I joined other dignitaries at the interdenominational church service held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja, as part of the activities marking the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day. I was also honoured to deliver goodwill remarks on behalf of the Senate President, Dist.Sen. Godswill Akpabio, at this all-important gathering.

As we honor the sacrifices of our fallen heroes who gave their lives to protect our freedom, unity, and sovereignty, we also express our deep appreciation to the members of the Armed Forces who continue to make tremendous sacrifices to safeguard the peace and prosperity of our beloved nation, Nigeria.

May the Almighty continue to strengthen them, and may the souls of the departed rest in eternal peace.

Akpabio Calls On Nigerians To Honour Fallen Heroes’ Sacrifices

Written by Elijah Samson and Leadership News

The Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has called on Nigerians to honour the sacrifices of the nation’s Armed Forces by fostering unity, advancing peace, and committing to nation-building.

Akpabio, who spoke through the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, made the remarks during the interdenominational church service commemorating the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day at the National Christian Centre on Sunday in Abuja.

Addressing a congregation of national leaders, religious figures, and citizens, the Senate President paid tribute to the courageous men and women of the Nigerian Armed Forces, past and present.

He reflected on his late father’s service in World War II, a legacy that shaped his values of service, unity, and commitment to Nigeria’s progress.

“The sacrifices of our Armed Forces are not myths or fables—they are deeply personal to many of us,” Akpabio said. “Their dedication to service inspires us all. We owe it to them to build a nation worthy of their courage.”

Akpabio emphasised the need to honour thes sacrifices by ensuring the welfare of the families of fallen heroes and strengthening support for veterans.

He pledged the administration’s commitment to implementing welfare programmes and policies that address the challenges faced by the families.

The Senate President highlighted Nigeria’s diversity as a strength, calling on citizens to rise above divisions and work together to tackle the nation’s pressing challenges, including insecurity, economic hardships, and climate change.

“Nigeria is a tapestry woven with over 500 languages, diverse traditions, and various faiths. Our strength lies in our unity despite our diversity,” he said. “We can build a Nigeria that will never surrender to insecurity, avarice, tribalism, and corruption.”

He urged religious institutions to lead the charge in spreading messages of love, tolerance, and unity.

Akpabio also called for decisive action on national issues to create a better Nigeria for future generations, drawing inspiration from the resilience of past heroes.

“The blood of our heroes is the seed of our unity and progress,” he said. “Let us not only dream of a better Nigeria but work tirelessly to make it a reality.”

The ceremony was attended by dignitaries, members of the Armed Forces, and families of fallen soldiers. It marked a solemn moment of reflection, unity, and renewed commitment to the nation’s greatness.

As Nigeria moves into 2025, Akpabio called on all citizens to approach the year with hope, determination, and a shared vision for a stronger, more united Nigeria.

“May the memories of our fallen heroes remind us of the responsibility we bear. May their courage strengthen our resolve. And may we keep striving for a better, stronger, and united Nigeria,” he added.

.why is there no police day...at least a day to celebrate the police..the police are trying...

Why is there no police day...at least a day to hounor and celebrate the police...police are trying...I know some people will say the police are bad and corrupt they do not need a day to be celebrated...but in every sector of the economy in Nigeria they is corruption and corrupt practices going on by the people working there.. like education sector, health sector, banking sector, petroleum sector, agriculture sector, government sector, offices and ministries , private section, power sector and many others..so not only police...so police need a police day ..and a day they can be honoured and celebrated..many police have died in their line of their duties but nobody or government compensate their families, wives, children... police need a police day to be honoured and celebrated

The police take part in the Armed Forces Remembrance Day.

However, I would like to see, not a Police Day, but a Civilian Services Day.

The Police, Fire Service, ambulance services, medical doctors, Customs, Immigrations, Prisons, FRSC and other services put their lives at risk to serve us and they should also have a day to remember those that died in the line of duty.

Jesus Christ is not like the idol (allah) Muhammad inherited from his idolatrous father who boasted about blowing his spirit into Mary's vagina


Stop saying allamuduLIE, you can lie for Africa en taqqiya boy. What are you worshipping by facing the direction of qibla if not the shrine and black stone of kaaba

See, that expired camel urine you dey drink don dey affect your thinking, boya ko migrate to cow's urine. I'm very sure you will regain your senses back after taking cow's urine sogbo sufu
