It is Christ who in Mathew 22:34-40 admonished Christians on the need for Love of God and of Neighbour. In keeping with the teachings of Christ and a rare show of love for humanity, a UK based charity outreach, New Bethel Christian Centre, has donated items worth hundreds of thousands of Naira to inmates of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Onitsha. The team led by a BOT member of the Outreach who also doubles as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA), Venerable Amaechi Okwuosa, said the gesture was in keeping with a tradition that has spanned over two decades right from his time in the UK. He explained that the major thrust of the visit was to lift up the spirits of the inmates by encouraging and supporting them while giving them hope of a better and brighter future which will in turn aid their reintegration into the society. While interacting with the inmates, Venerable Okwuosa, who is also a lawye...

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode has dared the Buhari-led Federal Government to do her worse as South West will not back down on its regional security outfit christened Amotekun. His reaction is coming on the heels of the call by the leadership of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders for the arrest of South West leaders backing the operation. In his words on twitter FFK said: "Go ahead, arrest us and ignite a fire. Do your worst and make heroes and martyrs out of us. We are ready to sacrifice ALL for the freedom of our loved ones & children & for the future generations of our people. We will never bow to you and we will not be intimidated by your bullying ways and childish barrack-room threats. When you take one of us down millions will rise up in his or her defence and in his or her place. We have lost all sense of fear. We have no fear of arrest, no fear of death, no fear of torture, no fear of failure and no fear of tyranny because the Lord is with us! Am...

National President General of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo has called on the federal government to arrest Yoruba leaders promoting Operation Amotekun, the Southwest regional security network. In an interview with 24/7 news, the leader of the Fulani socio-cultural association emphasized that the aim of setting up the security outfit was to ban Fulani herdsmen from Yorubaland. The Southwest has set up a regional security outfit, Operation Amotekun, what is your view on that? I read it on the internet. However, it would have been a good development, if the national security agencies – the Army, the Police, the DSS, the Civil Defence, etc, were not living up to expectations. Will Amotekun have more security intelligence than these national security orgnisations? The answer is no. Anything security should be left with those security organisations, so, I don’t know the reason for this one from the Southwest, except that it has sinister motive. Look at how the ...
