BREAKING: Southern Kaduna Group (SOKAPU) adopts Atiku

📍SOKAPU said the people decided in collaboration with the Southern Kaduna Leadership Council (SKLC) after weighing all the options available on ground.

📍With less than two days to the presidential election, the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU), the mouthpiece of the people of Southern Kaduna people have adopted the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

📍According to him, SOKAPU said the people decided in collaboration with the Southern Kaduna Leadership Council (SKLC) after weighing all the options available on ground.

📍Addressing a press conference on Thursday, the SOKAPU President, Awemi Dio Maisamari, and the chairman of Southern Kaduna Leadership Council, Ishaya Dary Akau, said having weighed the capacity of PDP and Labour Party (LP), they discovered that PDP has wider outreach than LP.

Great for the kid. Now he will get all of the opportunities he lacked in Nigeria.

I get the desperation by some people to leave Nigeria by all means given the economic difficulties. But I struggle to understand people that go claiming asylum on the basis of being threatened by Boko Haram. This here family for instance are Yoruba people that probably leave in the south of Nigeria claiming asylum over Boko Haram threats. How?

The sad irony of it is that the Christians in the north and even in the thick of the Boko Haram crises don't even have the opportunity to apply for asylum or will be profiled and denied asylum when they apply.

Instead we have mostly southerners taking up all of Nigeria's asylum quota telling tall tales about some phantom boko haram threat or claiming to be facing a death threat because they are gay.

Family › Re: Complex Marital Issue : Your Thoughts On This Please. by Reptyle(m): 7:34pm On Sep 29, 2022

Meteoritey:
Due to work, my husband and I live in states, and my husband lives in Canada. 3 months ago we had some serious skirmishes during our phone conversation and in the heat of the argument, I told him that he does not appreciate the fact that I am raising the kids and doing everything alone.

To my disappointment, he told me that he is overworked more than me. This really angered me. This got me angry and I hung up. Although He tried to reach me for 4 days, and also sent me some messages, I cut him off without replying, about 9 weeks later, I sent him just a message on an unrelated issue, he ignored my message, after another month, I sent him another message, he also ignored. It has been 3 months now we have not spoken to each other.

Recently my brother had a baby, and he only called once to congratulate them. Moreover my younger sister got admission to a university to study the same course that my husband studied, so naturally, my sister contacted him. My sister said he advised her on what to do and what she should expect. This was about 2 months ago. I personally did not inform him about my sister’s admission myself.

After about one month, my sister also called him for more information, but he has not been picking my sister’s call.

My sisters fiancee also called him to inform him about their upcoming marriage (my same sister that got the admission) he only spoke with my sister and her fiancee once, he stopped further communication with them on both issues of admission and marriage, and that he only spoke with them the first time about the admission and the marriage out of the respect he has for them.

He gave my sister the excuse that it was not proper, for him to speak with her fiancee' because he said that I have not told him anything about the marriage, therefore he can not relate further with my sister as per the marriage. And that it was out of respect that he even called my sister initially to advice her.

What are you thoughts and opinion please.

Neither of you was right or wrong in this matter, You both are just allowing your childish egos to ruin what sounds like an otherwise happy marriage.

His absence and the stress of being alone rubbed you off the wrong way because for women, their love language is mostly around presence, support, and attention. Your rude attitude towards your husband put him off because men are big on respect. You worsened the disrespect by ignoring him even when he reached out to make peace with you.

My advice to you right now is that you do not let the gulf grow wider. Get off your high horse and make amends now. Fly down to his base in Canada and go and talk things over with your husband. Even if you don't like the man anymore, your children will need their father in their lives, especially in a place like the US where values are quickly lost.

If you are unable to travel, then send him a message apologizing to him...despite what you may have been made to believe, you won't die if you say sorry. Stop sending him messages on "unrelated issues". Sort the pending issue first and then you can re-establish normal communication.

Omooba77:
https://dailypost.ng/2022/09/22/nigerian-govt-approved-ak47-for-katsina-outfit-ondo-will-buy-for-amotekun-akeredolu/

Perhaps Governor Akeredolu just needs to change the name of Amotekun to Ondo State Security Network (Amotekun Corps) and reapply for the license to carry arms. He is an accomplished lawyer and should know how to navigate obstacles in the law.

The whole Amotekun drama coincided with the time that Sunday Igboho was actively pursuing a regional secession agenda. Coming up with an armed group called Western Nigeria Security Network may have sent the wrong signal. The Nigerian Constitution recognizes States as federating units and not regions so I do not think that you can legally apply for a permit to carry semi-automatic assault weapons for a regional group like Amotekun. Who exactly has administrative oversight over the affairs of Amotekun in its current state as a regional militia? Who will be held responsible for likely breaches? Let the States set up groups that will be monitored by the state governors and I am sure FG will be more willing to grant permits to bear arms.

Will Nigerians be comfortable hearing of the establishment of a Northern Region Security Network that is licensed to bear arms? Isn't that the same reason the Eastern Security Network (ESN) was proscribed? So what happens if the ESN clashes with the NRSN with both regional militias carrying automatic weapons? Would that not be the beginning of a civil war?

Interestingly, Katsina Security Services is not the first northern state vigilante to bear arms. The Borno State Vigilante services have existed and used weapons for close to a decade contributing their quota to the fight against Boko Haram.

I am afraid I do not see your point.

There is no language that originated from a dictionary. A dictionary is a collection of words that make up a language and their meanings. The language first has to exist before a dictionary can be documented.

Now, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, all tongues (languages) originated from the tower of babel. Now, in line with this, Tinubu's statement that "we inherited speaking in tongues from the Bible" is apt and not out of point. He alluded to the Bible because he was addressing a clergyman - a man of the Bible.

According to the Bible, the tower of Babel is the first place where it is recorded that men spoke in different tongues. This was taught to us in Sunday school.

Read the account for yourself in Genesis 11 vs 1 - 9.

If you listen to the complete speech and the context in which he made that statement, Tinubu made perfect sense. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him mentally and he is not incoherent. he was not speaking in parables; he spoke clearly and you chose to misunderstand him.

Soyinka questions FG: Why ban IPoB, and leave Miyetti Allah?

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/08/soyinka-questions-fg-why-ban-ipob-and-leave-miyetti-allah

I do not agree with the Professor on his take.

IPOB is an organisation that was primarily set up to push for the secession of a part of the country and they have made it clear that they are willing to explore violent means of doing this if necessary. They were proscribed purely for their criminal activities and not because of their secessionist ideals.

Miyetti Allah is a socio-political/cultural pressure group seeking the welfare of the Fulani ethnic nationality in Nigeria. If we were to compare Miyetti Allah with any organisation, it would be with the likes of Afenifere, Arewa Consultative Forum, and Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

IPOB is on the same level as the Yoruba Nation movement as they share a similar agenda. Yes, there are criminal elements among the Fulani. But using the activities of a few to judge the larger body is like blaming Afenifere for the crime of every Yoruba man or Ohanaeze Ndigbo for the crime of every Igbo man.

First off, if Bashir Ahmad truly continued to draw a salary after resigning from the government, then that is reprehensible and he must be made to repay every kobo of it. However, there is nothing untoward about the fact that his salary is way more than the salary paid to civil servants...including university professors.

Government appointees work for a limited period and most times draw no added benefits or pensions that are accruable to regular employees like university professors.

I work for a company that has both permanent (full time) employees as well as indirect (temporary/consultants) employees. I can tell you that some of those temporary employees earn way more than their colleagues that are regular/permanent employees. Conversely, those temporary employees do not enjoy things like health insurance, fuel subsidy, bonuses, and other fringe benefits that the permanent employees enjoy.

Bashir Ahmad is a public servant by way of appointment. When his principal wraps up his tenure, his appointment comes to an end. This is different from those civil servants that work in the presidency as theirs is a job.

You are actually entitled to your opinion on the one-faith ticket put forward by the APC. It might not sound right to you. But the party has put forward a ticket that best positions it to win the elections.

It is no different from Peter Obi picking a Muslim from the north or Atiku picking a Christian from the south. It is all aimed at winning elections.

When it comes to winning elections, electoral value is number 1 and competence comes a close second in the pecking order of requirements. Blessed is the man that has both resident in one man or woman. You first need to win an election before any great plans you have for the country can materialise. If that weren't the case, Peter Obi could have picked a competent southern Muslim to balance his ticket and ignored the north or Atiku pick a competent northern Christian and ignore the south.

The way things are now, voters are spoiled for choice in the next elections...and that is a good thing in my opinion. Vote as it pleases your conscience and let's stop all the religious and ethnic baiting.

If you won't vote Tinubu on a one faith ticket, chances are that you won't vote him if he selected the chairman of CAN as his running mate. It is what it is.

NaijaCoverBlog:
Gunmen Have abducted a Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Peter Yakubu Amodu, in Benue State.

It Was Gathered By , that the priest was kidnapped at about 5:00 pm on Wednesday, July 6, along Otukpo/Ugbokolo highway.

The Priest was said to be going to Okwungaga-Ugbokolo to celebrate Holy mass when he was abducted, Learnt.

The Catholic Diocese of Otukpo confirmed the abduction of the priest in a circular signed by Rev. Fr Joseph Itodo, the Diocesan Chancellor.

"We write to notify you of the kidnap of Rev. Pr. Peter Amodu, a priest of the Holy’ Ghost Congregation who is working in the Catholic Diocese of Otukpo as Parish Priest of Holy Ghost Parish, Eke-Olengbeche," the circular read.

"The Sad Incident Occurred Yesterday, July 6, 2022, at about 5.00 pm along Otukpo – Ugbokolo Road, Benue State, while he was on his way to celebrate the Holy Mass at Okwungaga-Ughbokolo.

"The Local Ordinary, Most Rev. Michael Ekwoyi Apochi, has called on all Christ’s Faithful in the Catholic Diocese of Otukpo and beyond to earnestly pray for his quick and safe release as we intensify efforts to ensure his release

"We Commend our brother and all those in the kidnappers’ den to the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary for their speedy and safe release from the hands of their abductors.

When Contacted, The Spokesperson of the Benue State Police Command, SP Catherine Anene, said she had yet to receive the report.

Source: BENUE CATHOLIC CHURCH

By paying terrorists for the release of previously abducted catholic priests, the catholic church may have opened up the floodgates for kidnappers to abduct their priests across the country consistently.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying they should have abandoned the abducted priests to be killed by the terrorists or bandits. I understand that in the face of collapsing security infrastructure, they have no choice but to negotiate the release of their priests. I am just adducing a reason for the sudden rise in the kidnapping of catholic priests across the country. If they keep paying and announcing the millions paid as ransom, the kidnappers will keep kidnapping and that is the unfortunate reality.

There is a reason why countries adopt a stance of no negotiation with terrorists. Even where negotiations and ransoms are paid, it is always advisable to keep it as silent as possible so as not to set off a maelstrom of kidnapping from criminals that begin to see it as a lucrative and easy way to make money.

After all said and done, the government needs to do something radical to check this growing menace urgently.

Shame on this government. These people have been kidnapped since March, yet no rescue attempt or anything. Two months and counting and all they could come up with is resumption of operations. SMH.

Speaking of rescue attempts, there are very limited options. It is either government locates the terrorist camp and goes scorched-earth on them, launching bombs from the air, or gets a commando force to launch a clinical attack on the camp. Both options are high risk as the victims could be significantly impacted by the operations.

The only other option is to pay out a ransom for the victims...an option that will only further embolden the terrorists to launch more strikes and take more victims. I am not sure any government will want to do that.

Except by some divine intervention, I am afraid the victims and their families are in for a dire and very long ride on this matter.

I empathize with the families...but the reality is that operations have to resume.

Government has an obligation to continue to operate those trains because it is still relatively safer than going by road. Just yesterday, there was another attack on travelers between Abuja and Kaduna and many were allegedly kidnapped. There are so many more attacks on-road travelers. Do we also ask for Government to close down the roads?

The resumption of train services on the route does not in any way impact the drive to rescue the victims of the train attack. Both can go hand in hand. The families can continue to put pressure on the government to get the victims out of captivity as soon as possible.

The resumption of services is a psychological victory against the terrorists whose aim is to attack our collective sensibilities and cripple our economic growth. I hope that the NRC will upgrade their security architecture before they resume to prevent a recurrence.

I also do not understand how this particular family whose patriarch is the no-nonsense-looking Pete Edochie will allow all of this nonsense to play out on the blogs.

No matter how much the family disagrees with Yul Edochie's action, fact remains he is still part of the family and deserves its protection. It is obvious from similar situations in the past that the public is never a place to resolve matters like this one.

I expect Pa Pete Edochie to call everyone to order and bar them from further speaking to blogs and the media to avoid spreading bad blood within his family. A simple "no comments" response works wonders when the blogs come looking for quotes. There is an innocent child involved here and I do not think it is fair for him to grow up to read about all of this drama.

Really happy for this man. His life has totally turned around and I hope he rides the fame to build a great life for himself while it still lasts.

Also I hope his handlers have fully briefed him that the UK is not Nigeria and he needs to be EXTRA careful to avoid getting into any trouble with the law. Be careful with the ladies especially. Touch them anyhow and they could get you into serious trouble.

Goodluck to him.
