  • A Christmas Message of Gratitude, Hope, and a Call for Peace in Nigeria

  • As we celebrate this Christmas season, our hearts are filled with gratitude to Almighty God for the gift of life, love, and preservation. Christmas reminds us of God’s mercy and faithfulness, and as Nigerians, we are thankful that He has kept us alive and in good health despite the many challenges we have faced as a nation. We give thanks to God for sustaining families, communities, and the entire country through the year.
  • We are especially grateful for the gift of good health to Nigerians across all states and regions. In a time when many nations are battling sickness, hardship, and uncertainty, God has remained our refuge and strength. This Christmas is a reminder that even in difficult times, hope is alive and God’s grace is sufficient.

  • However, as we celebrate, we cannot ignore the deep concerns facing our nation, particularly the growing insecurity. In Edo State and across Nigeria, citizens continue to live in fear due to kidnappings, banditry, and violent attacks. We respectfully call on the Edo State Government and His Excellency, Governor Monday Okpebholo, to place stronger focus and urgency on addressing security challenges in the state. The protection of lives and property must remain a top priority, as no meaningful development can take place in an atmosphere of fear.

  • We also appeal to the Federal Government to take decisive steps to ensure that the coming year is free from religious killings, kidnappings, and senseless violence. Nigerians deserve to worship freely, travel safely, and live peacefully without fear of being attacked or abducted. Security agencies must be empowered, equipped, and held accountable to protect citizens effectively.

  • Furthermore, we urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to listen attentively to the cries of Nigerians. The pain, fear, and frustration of the people are real. Tackling insecurity decisively will restore confidence, unity, and hope in the nation. Nigerians are not asking for too much—only the right to live in peace and dignity.

  • As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, we pray that God will touch the hearts of our leaders with wisdom, compassion, and courage. May this Christmas usher in renewed commitment to justice, peace, and security across Nigeria. May the New Year bring healing to our land, safety to our people, and lasting peace to every home.

  • Merry Christmas, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 🇳🇬

The students, who were  celebrating their graduation from the University, collided fatally with a stationery truck on the road.  Hon Asekhame, who himself is a graduate of the Ambrose Alli University, said he empathises deeply with the parents of the students, one of whom have been confirmed to have passed on, while the other one is in critical condition at a hospital.

He prayed that God would grant them the courage and fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. The...

Welcome to our third series on World of guns. Here we look at handguns from Isreal, Jordan, Spain, Italy, Canada and China. UZI pistol (Israel) 9mm UZI pistol, right side . 9mm UZI pistol, left side.

Despite somewhat rough appearance UZI pistols were reliable and quite accurate. It also must be noted that 'original' UZI pistols should not be confused with full-size weapons based on...

The Zamfara State Killing Field

-
Image
Nigeria is currently engulfed in a major crisis of intergroup relations that is rooted in the politics of economic survival but which is often easily exploited by the elite. The latest theatre of such madness is in the Northwest state of Zamfara where towns and villages are attacked, almost on a daily basis, by armed bandits while the vigilante groups brought in by the helpless communities to help restore order are either being exterminated or are themselves engaging in extra judicial killings. With villages being deserted and a growing resort to self-help in the face of what looks like organized crime, there are serious threats to our national economy and security that many Nigerians are not paying adequate attention to. The violence in Zamfara State is particularly difficult for “outsiders” to understand, especially when the people many of us had always assumed to be one and the same are now killing one another. That perhaps explains why most of the reportage of the or...
