Mrs. Ugwuanyi partners Gazelle Vocational Youth Empowerment Academy to reduce unemployment, criminal activities

The wife of the Enugu State Governor, Mrs. Monica Ugwuanyi, has charged the youths to avail themselves of the opportunity in the available skill acquisition centres in the country and become self reliant in their endeavours. Mrs. Ugwuanyi made the call yesterday while flagging-off a six-day youth empowerment programme organized by the Gazzelle Vocational Youth Empowerment development in partnership with Fidelity Bank Plc and Industrial Training Fund (ITC) at Nsukka. Addressing the participants and the organizers of the programme at University of Nigeria Nsukka, venue of the event, Mrs. Ugwuanyi observed that youth unemployment has continued to rise,  a situation she described as dangerous following the vices associated with it. She explained that the call had become necessary as these skill acquisition centres when embraced would enthrone successful artisans, entrepreneurs and consultants in the areas of fashion designing, agriculture, welding, catering, cosmetic/soap making, black-smiting, tie and dye among others which she noted were in line with her pet project. The governor’s wife enjoined corporate organizations, NGO’s and good spirited philanthropists to engage the nation’s youth and job seekers in meaningful activities that would make them self reliance and eschew vices in the society, urging the participants to be more dedicated. Speaking on the occasion,  the deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Prof Chukwuma Ogbonna described the university as a pace setter in education, adding that, the programme was designed to improve the lives of the students and participants alike. Prof Ogbonna explained that the Vocational Academy would enable the school produce graduates that would compete with their counterparts world over, noting that the university family would do everything within its power to empower its students and advised them to make proper use of the opportunities. Speaking, the Managing Director, Fidelity Bank Plc, Enugu and Ebonyi States, Mr. Leo Ezugwu disclosed that his bank came to partner with Gazzelle Academy to take off the programme, noting that Fidelity Bank is always interested in human oriented business programmes towards the development of the society. He noted that the bank always funds and encourages genuine organizations instituted to commence meaningful programmes. The founder and the initiator of the Gazzelle Academy Vocational Centre, Mrs. Muna Onuzo said that the programme was put in place to extend hands of fellowship with Her Excellency and the university community towards empowering the undergraduates in the areas of agriculture, catering, makeup/cosmetics, ICT, hospitality, fashion designing among others.

DAILY AWARENESS 19 April 2016: Before you reach outside of yourself

 Before you reach outside of yourself—to food, drink, or whatever it is that you fancy--stop and ask yourself if it is truly what your soul desires or just what your inner child wants to feel good now. Find two areas of your life where you feel victimized and take a concrete step to take responsibility for your own fulfillment. Feel your own joy and other people's joy.

Most importantly, be gentle with yourself and your inner child. You are work in progress and a child of God who loves you. Healing comes from positively acknowledging and taking responsibility for what we need to change, not from beating ourselves up.

Jonathan’s Ex-Aide, Dudafa Arrested At Lagos Airport By daniel

A former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Domestic Matters, Waripamowei Dudafa, has been arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS.
Dudafa, who went underground when he was implicated in investigations into the financial misappropriations in the office of the former National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki, was arrested on Monday at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos when he attempted to flee the country.
He was said to have collected N10bn from the office of the former NSA, which he converted to about $47m and shared to delegates during the 2014 presidential primaries of the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Investigators at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, believe the fund was part of the alleged $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of arms and ammunition for the Nigerian military but which was shared as slush funds to politicians through the Office of the NSA to prosecute last year’s general elections.
It was learnt that after he was interrogated by the DSS, Mr. Dudafa was handed over to the EFCC in Lagos from where he would be transferred to the head office of the agency in Abuja for further questioning and possible prosecution.

Grazing Commission Bill: When Men Die That Cattle May Live! By Reno Omokri

Nigeria is not the only country where nomadic pastoralists herdsmen come and go. In Kenya, they have the Maasai herdsmen who have been herding cattle around the Nile Valley area from the days of Joseph in ancient Egypt. Other nations have their own form of pastoralists too. But never in the history of the 20th and 21st Century has the world encountered a scenario such as that which stares Nigeria in the face, whereby Fulani pastoral Herdsmen simultaneously and nationally and almost systematically are wiping out indigenous Nigerians for the benefit of their cattle.

I challenge my readers to take the time to do a Google search and collate the number of reported casualties from unprovoked Fulani attacks on innocent, unarmed Nigerians in 2016 alone. The results will shock you! I will not throw out a number in order not to give my political foes fodder to use against me in a case of incitement, but please carry out even a cursory research on the matter.

And what has been the response of the Nigerian Government? I was shocked to read the reaction of Nigeria's minister of Internal Affairs, retired Lt. General Abdulrahman Dambazau, who blamed Social Media users for exacerbating these attacks!

I mean really? So what are we to do when we become aware that Fulani herdsmen are accused of killing, raping and maiming Nigerians? Are we to keep quiet in the national interest? Excuse me, but I thought the national interest was the interests of human beings rather than the interest of cattle!
And then President Muhammadu Buhari from faraway China, rightly goes ahead to issue a lethal warning to pipeline vandals: desist from your actions or else be dealt with as I dealt with Boko Haram!
Yet this same tough talking President does not have similar words for Fulani herdsmen? Mr. President, how many Nigerians have to die before you give Fulani herdsmen the 'Boko Haram' treatment?

President Muhammadu Buhari must be willing to suspend the fact that he is himself a Fulani by ethnicity and remember what he has been preaching to us since he first forced his way into our national consciousness after his coup against President Shagari in 1983.

I can never forget when the then military head of state, Major General Muhammad Buhari said "This generation of Nigerians and indeed the future generation have no country other than Nigeria, we shall stay and salvage it together."
Indeed, the President must remember that he wanted us to stay and salvage Nigeria together and not stay and be savaged in Nigeria by Fulani herdsmen!
And the absolute worst part of this story is the attempt by some Legislators to add salt to injury and injustice by floating a so called National Grazing Commission Bill to compulsorily acquire large swathes of Nigerian land and give them to the Commission for the benefit of Fulani herdsmen!

In fact, it makes better sense to establish a Victim Support Commission for the many thousands of victims of Fulani herdsmen than it does to set up a National Grazing Commission!

Honestly, I do not understand the idea behind this Bill. The legislators sponsoring this Bill are asking Nigeria to change her land tenure system to fit nomads who may or may not be Nigerian citizens. Has the world gone mad???

Nigeria should not change to fit Fulani herdsmen, instead it is Fulani herdsmen that should change to fit Nigeria!
The Grazing Commission Bill is an insult to all the victims of the herdsmen. Peace can only be achieved if those who want to herd cattle set up ranches as is done everywhere else in the world!

The cattle herding business is a private enterprise. It should not be the business of the government to use public land and public funds to promote the group interest of Fulani herdsmen.

Let me assure any federal legislator that is foolhardy enough to support this Bill that Senators and Representatives from states where Fulani herdsmen have killed innocent Nigerians should forget their reelection if they support the Grazing Commission Bill!
In fact, they should be ashamed of themselves that they sat in a National Assembly where the Lagos-Calabar rail was not provided for and watched as the #GrazingCommissionBill got to second reading!

Instead of passing laws to protect victims of genocide they want to pass laws to protect those who commit genocide! Talk about Stockholm syndrome!
I am tempted to ask if this the Federal Republic of Nigeria or the Federal Republic of Fulani Herdsmen with Nigerians as second class citizens? Hardworking, tax paying Nigerian citizens do not have land to build houses yet the backers of this repugnant Bill want to give free land to Fulani herdsmen?

But should I or anybody reading this really blame the sponsors of this Bill? Shouldn't the blame rightly be on all of us collectively when we keep silent while our brothers die because of political ambition and fear of persecution!
What did Jesus say again in Matthew 10:28"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

My name is Reno Omokri, if anybody likes let them come and arrest me for saying the truth. I would rather live the rest of my life in a dungeon than fold my hands and do nothing while my fellow Nigerians are being killed so that cattle may live!

Photo: NDLEA arrests Enugu mother of three who faked pregnancy with wraps of cocain

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested 46 year old Dorothy Onyekasi pictured above, who faked a pregnancy with 86 pellets of white powdery substances that tested positive to cocaine while trying to board an Emirate flight to Dubai at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport MMIA Lagos.  

The mother of three who hails from Enugu and trades in ladies bags and shoes, had cocaine that  weighed 1.720 kilogrammes with an estimated street value of N20.6 million. 

When interrogated, Dorothy, she said  

“It is all my fault. If only I was contented with the profit from the sales of my goods, I would not have been in this problem. I am separated from my husband who left me with three children. I used to import female bags and shoes from Dubai. My involvement in drug trafficking is a mistake and I take responsibility for my action. I travelled to Dubai to buy my goods. While I was preparing to return, I met a man in Dubai who gave me the drug and promised to give me enough money to expand my business. He also told me that when I get to Nigeria, he will call his partner to collect the drug and give me my money".

NDLEA commander at the Lagos airport, Garba Ahmadu, said the wraps of cocaine would have been easily mistaken for pregnancy.

“It was discovered that the suspect kept 86 wraps of cocaine inside a waist bag which was tied to her stomach. Unfortunately, the drug was detected by NDLEA officers on her arrival from Dubai. The drug was immediately packed and weighed in her presence.”

She will be charged to court soon.

FOUR WAYS TO GET RID OF FULANI NORMADIC GROUP FROM YOUR LAND

The Fulani nomadic cattle farmers have been acknowledged as the 4^th most deadly terror group .Every day news of villages under siege; maiming, arm robbery and rape have been linked to this group that disguise themselves as animal farmers and travelers. The call to harbor them in a specified place in every state will not only increase the attacks but Will serve as armory and training ground for the Hausa Fulani that may lead to total cleansing of other tribes in Nigeria.

During the Nigeria civil war, Biafra solders ran out of ammunitions and Biafra scientist developed OGBUNIGWE that helped the soldiers to achieve some level of success. Now that the fulanis have become torn in the flesh to other tribes, it call for great thinking and suggestion on how best to scare them away

• ·         Achieving a biafran state as their nomadic life do not take them to other countries
• ·         Frying of palm kernel as the scent kills their cows
• ·         Spraying TOBACO(utaba) in your farms as the smell chokes and kills the cow
• ·         Using the cannon gun(Nkponalu) as the sound of cannon gun causes confusion within them,

These methods have been tested and it works. So instead of losing your life, Property and virginity because of your farm land why not buy some tobacco today and spread in your farms sparingly or around the farm.

Shocking! Muslim Man Renounces Islam After Tasting Pig Meat for the First Time (Photos)

A Muslim man has caused shock in his community by renouncing his faith after tasting for the first time pig meat forbidden by his religion.

Rakim Shaheed renounced his faith after tasting meat made from pig which is forbidden by his religion

 

A Syrian refugee recently immigrated to Canada has allegedly renounced his Islamic faith after tasting bacon for the first time.

 

The 38-year-old man that was recently hired in a Toronto butcher shop claims he accidentally tasted bacon for the first time in his life and has never looked back since.

 

“It tastes like heaven!” simply puts Rakim Shaheed, newly employed at a downtown Toronto butcher shop. “I took one bite of a club sandwich my boss prepared for me and I almost fell off my chair,” he told local reporters. “It was like a burst of flavor hit my taste buds and shook me like an earthquake” he recalls, visibly still emotional. “I can’t believe no one ever told me it was so good,” he adds.

 

A taste of heaven

 

The new Canadian citizen still can’t believe how a few bites off a sandwich radically changed his life.

 

“If there is a god, for sure he would let me eat bacon. Why would he punish all Muslims for eating bacon? It tastes so good!” he asks, visibly angered by the whole affair. “I feel cheated, I don’t understand why I have been lied to about this for so long,” he told a local radio host.

 

“I eat it every day and feel much happier now that I have bacon in my life,” he added during the radio broadcast, although he also admits to being shunned by many members of his community. “They can’t understand, they won’t taste it and so, they will never know what they are missing” he acknowledges, visibly disheartened.

 

 

A shameless animal

 

Mohammed Aiksham, a local Toronto imam, claims pork is prohibited to all Muslims alike.

 

“Pork is strictly prohibited in the Quran for many reasons,” he explains. “For one, it is a filthy animal that carries and spreads many diseases to humans, but it is also the most shameless animal on the face of the earth according to scriptures,” he admits. “It is the only animal that invites its friends to have sex with its mate, that is why we find in western societies such a prevalence of decadent sexual behavior and swapping of wives between couples,” he acknowledges.

 

Muslims are not the only religious group to refrain from eating pork, with both Jews and some Christian denominations refraining from doing so, and the Old Testament describing pork as “unclean,” admit experts.

TRCN inducts 308 new teachers from TCE Nsukka — 12th April 2016 From Oladele Oge

The Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) has inducted 308 graduands of the College of Education, Nsukka, comprising Professional Diploma in Education (PDE) and Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE), into the teaching profession.
At the fourth induction ceremony held recently, the Registrar and Chief Executive of TRCN, Prof Addison Mark Wokocha, said induction remains imperative in any Teachers’ Training Institute as it improves the quality of both teachers and teaching in the country.
Wokocha who was represented at the occasion by the Deputy Director, Professional Operations, Mr. Adamu Bello, also said that induction confers legal and professional status on new teachers through the administration of the teachers’ oath of allegiance and other provisions of TRCN Act Cap T3 of 2004.
“Like every other profession, induction reduces the negative tendencies confronting the teaching profession. This implies that it is only those that are really prepared to improve on the educational system in the country, that should be entrusted with the teaching-learning process in the nation’s schools”, he said.
He disclosed that the national benchmark for the professional qualifying examination has been developed by TRCN, pointing out that the examination would soon commence. The teachers’ regulatory body, he said, was poised to ensure that priority attention was given to the professionalization of the teaching profession, despite efforts by some state government to establish TC II, emphasizing that NCE remains the minimum qualification for teaching in Nigeria.
He commended the management of the college for toeing the line of the TRCN by working towards the production of quality teachers that have intellectual abilities to compete with their counterparts in other countries of the world. He described the college as a pacesetter in the training of teachers.
He, therefore, urged the inductees to be good ambassadors of their alma mater, adding that they should remain committed and honest in all their endeavours, especially as they move into the field of teaching.
Earlier in an address, the provost of the college, Dr. Okwudili Nwosu, urged the regulatory body to adopt strategies that would help beginners in teaching profession to develop and grow in the art of teaching and learning.
He noted that in developed countries such as Japan, Switzerland and New Zealand, teachers are assigned “guiding teachers”, who closely monitor their teaching. “It is worthwhile for us to study how new teachers are inducted in these countries, understand their similarities and differences, and draw out effective practices to see how they could be relevant to us as we implement our own improvements”, Dr. Nwosu said.
The provost added that teaching is a learning profession, stressing that at the heart of quality education is the teacher, who should be properly harnessed and packaged to meet the challenges of his or her professional demands.
In an induction lecture entitled, “The working condition of the Teachers is the learning condition of the Learner”, delivered by Lawrence Okwudili Eya, a Professor of Educational Management, College of Science, Technology and Education, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State. He observed that teachers discharge their assigned duties when their working condition is favourable, noting  that a teacher can only give what he or she has, but more readily when motivated

Goodluck Jonathan demanded for a corporate bank account from Metuh which some amount was paid into – Ike Abonyi

Former Congress Committee Chairman of the of PDP to Anambra state , Mr Ike Abonyi.

Metuh commenced his defence through his witness, Ike Abonyi, journalist and public relations consultant who told the court how former president, Goodluck Jonathan demanded for a corporate bank account from Metuh which some amount was paid into.
“Metuh called me to work with him when he won the election to occupy the position of the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP saying his new position has to do with the media and he had no knowledge of he media.
“In a bid to repackage the image of PDP, Metuh informed me that he would be engaging the services of a consultancy firm called CMC Connect; and together we made presentation to Jonathan,” Abonyi said.
He disclosed that CMC had worked with former chairman of the party, Ekewesilieze Nwodo but had to withdraw because they were being owned by the party.
“Metuh, however, told me he had appealed to CMC Connect to work with him due to their good job. He appealed to CMC Connect to continue where Nwodo stopped. They said they were willing to return but the party was owing them and Metuh agreed to push their case.
“Following their presentation in a meeting, Metuh promised to meet them but at that time there was no resources but he promised to get funds from the party
“Eventually the general election was fast approaching and Metuh approached me as the Executive Director of New Telegraph and requested he would need my full services this time saying he would like if I can come in and work as a consultant to help him with the new challenge of improving the image of the party which was in bad shape because by virtue of his position all eyes were on him to come up with strategies ahead of the general election…
“Even when I tried to lure Metuh out of CMC Connect, he reminded me that he had made a commitment and would not go out of it. We eventually called CMC Connect to join the team of journalist, where he informed us that he has been given an assignment by the leader of the party, former President Goodluck Jonathan to come up with strategy that would help the party win the forthcoming election.
“Metuh told us that the assignment given to him was also given to some other professionals, that we should see it as a challenge and make sure that our own strategy prevail in the choice of the President. The team anchored by CMC connect drew up some strategies with Metuh presiding over most of the meetings. We all agreed that he have a good product to offer but Metuh said we should wait for clearance from the Presidential villa for presentation.
“One afternoon, he called me that he had just received a call form the national chairman of the party that the president would be ready for presentation that night. All those involved were resident in Abuja except the Managing Director of CMC Connect I called to take the next available flight for the presentation. Other members of the team went in one vehicle while Metuh carried the Managing Director of CMC in his vehicle. Upon arrival at the villa, only Metuh’s car was allowed to enter but they waited for us at the clearance point where we were ushered into a waiting room. Metuh left and entered another room. Fifteen minutes later, Metuh ushered us into a large parlour with the president, vice, senate president, national chairman of the party, former governor  Anambra State (Peter Obi), Liyel Imoke and some media aides and Reuben Abati all seated.
“The MD of CMC Connect was the first to speak from our team. After the presentation the President requested for comments. At a point, Reuben Abati who saw our presentation as an indictment on him told the President that the situation was not as bad as we portrayed but he was overruled. Peter Obi urged the president to mobilise our team before the commencement of the campaign, otherwise, it would be difficult to win the election given the difficult situation of the government at that time. Following Obi’s comment the President advised that all others that did presentation that night should collapse into Metuh’s team. At that point the President commended Metuh but said the real job was out there.
“President told him to bring a corporate account to him for immediate mobilisation.”
“I’m aware as a journalist that funding of publicity comes from the leader of the party mainly. After our presentation we returned to our lives waiting to hear from Metuh on he outcome, one afternoon he told us that work will now start that the president said he should check his bank account that some money has been disbursed for the job.”

Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuani of Enugu state.  (thelead)

Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, on Sunday, urged Christians to embark on fervent prayers to arrest the upsurge in kidnapping and other forms of criminality in the country.

He made the call during a service to mark 2016 Catholic Mothering Sunday at St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, Federal Housing, Trans-Ekulu, Enugu.

He commended Monsignor Obiora Ike, also the Chairman of the Enugu State Economic Advisory Committee, for his selfless service to the state and humanity in general.

He said ``prayers had become necessary in view of the increasing incidences of crimes and other anti-social activities in different parts of the country.

``I believe that prayers will do so much in checking the menace of herdsmen/farmers clashes, cases of rape, armed robbery, kidnapping, pipeline vandalism, among others.''

He urged mothers to be vanguard of peace, love and tolerance in their various families for peace to reign; which would make the society a better place for all.

Earlier in a sermon, Prof. Ike had said that ``Mothers Day is a demonstration of God’s love for mankind.

``Mothers should play their roles effectively in their various families.''

He urged the nation’s leaders to imbibe the culture of leaving good legacies while in office

Bishop cancels offertory collection during funerals service

The Catholic Bishop of Lafia Diocese, Dr Mathew Ishaya-Audu, says the diocese has cancelled offertory collection during funerals of members of the church across the state. Ishaya-Audu made this known in an interview during the funeral Mass of the late Catechist, James Kubai of St. James Catholic Mission, Keffi. The bishop explained that the church took the decision because it considered prayers for the bereaved family more important than collection of offering during burial masses. “If you observed during the late Kubai’s funeral Mass, I stopped the offertory collection not because we don’t want assistance from the people, but when someone dies, it is a moment of grief. “What we need from the faithful and other people most when someone dies is to pray fervently for the repose of the soul of the deceased and God blessings, guidance, protection for the family. “If anybody wants to help the bereaved family or the church, such help should come after the burial or funeral Mass. “And such person’s will receive abundant blessings from God for donating generously to God’s work and for humanity,’’ he said. Ishaya-Audu pleaded with other faithful who came from far and near to sympathise with the family and catholic community during the funeral Mass to see the stoppage of the offertory collection as a positive decision. According to him, Christians and other Nigerians should live a life worthy of emulation as there is life after death for those who believe in Jesus Christ. “When someone dies, it is telling us or those that are yet to prepare to get prepared, repent and change our lives for good in order to inherit the kingdom of God because death is inevitable. “Nobody has the power to question God about death.’’ He said Kubai’s death was not only a great loss to his family, the catholic community or the state in particular but to Nigeria at large. This, the bishop said, was because of the positive role Kubai played in effecting positive change on people during his lifetime. He urged Nigerians to live in peace and tolerate one another irrespective of ethnic, religion and political affiliation for the overall development of the country.

Okwesilieze Nwodo, Emeka Worgu, others defect to APC

A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo; former Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr Emeka Worgu and former House of Representatives Speaker, Agunwa Anakwe, yesterday defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu.

Others who defected were Senators Emma Agboti, Chris Adighije, Nkechi Nwogu and Ifeanyi Ararume. Senator Jim Nwobodo, Gbazuagu Nweke Gbazuagu, former Imo State House of Assembly Speaker, Benjamin Uwajumogu, and Dr. Ezekiel Izuogu also joined the ruling party.

On hand to receive the decampees were chieftains of the APC in South-East including the national vice-chairman and convener of the meeting, Emma Eneukwu; National Organising Secretary of the party, Senator Osita Izunaso; National Auditor, George Moghalu; Deputy National Women Leader, Tina Adike and the standard bearer of the party in Enugu State, Okey Ezea.

Speaking, Eneukwu said most of the juicy positions due for the South-East were “being denied us because of our poor performance in 2015 elections”.

“With the array of prominent politicians from South-East joining us now, we shall work hard this time and turn things around,” he assured.

A communiqué issued reads in part; “The South-East APC supports the anti-corruption crusade of President Muhammadu Buhari and we urge Mr. President to go ahead and recover all looted public funds.

“We call on the groups agitating for separation from a united Nigeria, particularly, the IPOB and MASSOB to re-think and abandon the idea and join the other tribes in building a formidable united Nigeria where all Nigerians will be equally treated in line with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We believe by 2023, the president of a united Nigeria will be a Nigerian of Igbo extraction from the South-East.”

DAILY AWARENESS:Nurture Your Connection Saturday April 9, 2016

Our minds should be faster and more capable than any computer in the world, but they’re not. That’s because we use only a fraction of our brain’s capacity. We’re so bogged down with mental junk and negativity that we spend most of our time separated from the Lightforce. 

But no computer—and no person—can run properly without a steady influx of energy. 

That is why it is so important that we take time each day to nurture our connection with the Light through prayer, meditation, and actions of sharing.

We need to start injecting life into each day, acknowledging our blessings and sharing them with others. 

Each one of us represents the Godlike force. Each of us has a spark of the Creator inside of us. When we share and treat people with dignity, we reveal that spark of the Creator that is part of us and in this way, we connect to the source of all life and energy. 

When you get out of bed in the morning, say to yourself, “Wow, I can breathe and talk! I can do! I can create! I have God inside of me!” 

Most of the time, we forget these simple blessings. Now is the time to move forward with our life and to understand that everything that happens is a way to get closer to the Divine Energy that exists for us and in us.

FG and Govs agree to establish ranches to resolve clashes between Farmers and Fulani Herdsmen

Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state, disclosed yesterday, in Jos at the dedication of the new headquarters of Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA, that Pres. Muhammadu Buhari and the state governors have agreed that ranches should be created to address the frequent clashes between farmers and Fulani herdsmen instead of creating grazing reserves.

Lalong said:

“The President and governors agreed that there would be no grazing areas; ranches would be established by government where the cattle would be kept in one place and fed. Government will provide facilities like medical, schools and other needs in the ranches,”.

He said the ranches would be for anyone who reared cattle.

He urged people to be patient and prayerful as the Buhari administration works to resolve  the constant clash between the fulani herdsmen/farmers. He said lots of patience is needed because it won't be resolved within a year.

For example, if someone approaches us for help in the midst of our busiest hour, we have a choice: We can brush the person off and respond curtly, or we can say to ourselves, “Wait a minute. Maybe this person needs help in some way.” If we can reach outside of ourselves— even if for only a moment—then we will have connected with the Love of God.

Each of us is just one single person. But if we can uplift one other person, and then that person in turn uplifts another, in a few days we will have affected thousands of people, if not more. If we can feel the people around us and extend love instead of judgment, we can get to the place beyond physicality and create a better world for all humanity. And that is a true blessing.

SEE WHAT DONALD TRUMP SAID ABOUT BUHARI ,BIAFRA

 No sensible president continuously travels round the globe while his country Nigeria is in terrible hardship and economic mess.

 It can only happen in Nigeria where all that matters to the President is the full introduction of Islam, annihilation of his political opponents and absolute extermination of the people of the old Eastern Nigeria. 

 Buhari, prior to his questionable victory at the polls as the President of Nigeria made lots of promises which he has obviously failed to keep and in most cases denied.”

Fulani Herdsmen Abduct Catholic Priest In Enugu

Tension is brewing in Owa community in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State where a Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Aniako Celestine, priest in charge of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Ukana, Udi Local Government Area was kidnapped by suspected Fulani herdsmen Saturday evening on his way from his home town, Ezeagu.

Vanguard reliably gathered that the herdsmen demanded a ransom of N10 million through his mobile number.

This is even as activities of herdsmen in Ugwuleshi, Awgu Local Government Area of the state, last week, led to destruction of farmland and livestock worth millions of Naira and the detention of 76 members of the community, who were later granted bail by Umuahia Magistrate’s Court last Friday, following Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s intervention.

The herdsmen had also killed two sisters in Abbi, Uzo Uwani Local Government Area last month leaving 17 houses burnt. State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the abduction of the priest, saying the command was on their trail.

Meanwhile, following the release from prison custody of the 76 farmers from Ugwuleshi autonomous community in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State, after they were granted bail by Magistrate Court’s in Umuahia, Abia State capital, the traditional ruler of the community, Igwe Godwin Nwobi, and some other leaders from the area, during the weekend, commended the efforts of Governor Ugwuanyi in securing the release of the farmers.

While noting that the farmers arrived home safely to unite with their loved ones after they were granted bail, the people of the community through their traditional ruler, Igwe Nwobi and other political stakeholders, appealed to the Federal Government to find a lasting solution to the challenges being encountered between the nomadic Fulani/Hausa herdsmen and indigenous farmers in their community over the grazing of cattle on farmlands.

MASSOB reacts

In another development, the Uchenna Madu-led Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has warned soldiers to stop molesting and intimidating Ndigbo while protecting Fulani herdsmen who use their cattle to destroy farmlands and crops.

In a statement yesterday, the National Director of Information for the group, Mr. Samuel Edeson, alleged that the activities of the herdsmen were part of the alleged grand design to Islamise Nigeria.

He said:

 MASSOB warns Nigerian Army to stop intimidating and killing the people of Biafra in the guise of protecting the Fulani herdsmen and their cattle. “MASSOB advise South-East governors to encourage community-based vigilante groups for proper and well-coordinated security of lives, properties and farmlands.

DAILY AWARENESS The Power of Intention Sunday April 3, 2016

Dr. Larry Dossey is one of the world’s foremost experts on prayer research. He has written numerous books referencing many studies into prayer and science conducted over the past 15 years or so. The study I recently heard about consisted of a group of people who came together to pray for the health of ill patients at a hospital. In this study, the researchers found clear evidence that the people who were prayed for healed faster than the ones that weren’t prayed for.

The researchers said, “Okay, we get the concept. Prayer works. Let’s see if it works if we have people pray for patients from a distance, with nothing but concentration and a picture of the people they are praying for.” Guess what they found out? It worked! Almost the same result occurred whether the people who prayed were present or absent from the patients they were praying for. So distance didn't matter. Then the research team asked what would happen if instead of praying for healing, each of the participants prayed in his or her own way for “whatever the will of God might be.” They followed up on that line of research and amazingly, they found that the patients healed even faster.

The point? Your consciousness, energy, and intention are powerful. Pray for others, and know that you can and are making a difference.

DAILY AWARENESS:Realize the Oneness Saturday April 02, 2016

In this physical world, we experience the illusion of separation—of past from present from future, of self from others, of life from death—so that we can learn our lessons, make our corrections, and experience the earning process that we asked for at the time of Creation. In the sight of God, however, there is no time, space, or motion. Everything exists in continuity. 

The key idea here is that although most of us have “separation issues,” the true reality is that at the soul level, there is no such thing as separation, even in death.

We are all one. We always have been. We always will be.
