Draw example from Jesus Christ, Olawepo Hashim urges Christians

In this season of Christmas

I join our Nigerian Christian community to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

The commemoration of the birth of Christ presents us with an opportunity to be our neighbours’ keeper, to show love to the less privileged in our society and to do more good to all around us.

In keeping with the teachings of Christ, I enjoin every Nigerian to foster peace and to draw from the example of Christ by providing shelter to those who can't afford to have one within this period.

As we celebrate, let us also remember the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform, who constantly put their life on the line to protect and preserve our Nation.

Let us remember those who have lost their life in the fight for our unity and lend a helping hand to the family they left behind.

This period also presents us with an opportunity to reflect on the great task that lies ahead as we go to the polls.

Let us be reminded that we have the opportunity to rewrite the history of our Nation by electing credible leaders who will protect and preserve our common patrimony.

Once again, I wish Nigerians a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.

Another crisis averted in Plateau - FPP

UPDATE ON PLATEAU CRISIS SITUATION 1. Following the recent tragic incident in Plateau State, which took place in 11 villages in three local government areas and claimed several lives, Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP) which has been working behind the scene to prevent the outbreak of crisis several weeks before the tragic incident took place would like to urge the Plateau state government to set up an anti-crime force to combat organized criminality in state. This is very important because the major cause of crisis in the state is criminality, not ethnicity or religion as being insinuated by many. 2. In the past two months, FPP through its coordinator, have been working on building peace and preventing crisis in Plateau State. Following a report, received through our early warning system that over 300 cattle were rustled by cattle rustlers along Jos South, Barkin Ladi axis, FPP initiated a mediation effort to build understanding particularly between farmers and herdsmen and ...

United States of America may be better than Nigeria in many ways, but there are also areas Nigeria is better than U.S. I have compiled just 15 of them for a start. Read and leave your comment. 1. Intelligence and smartness Nigerians are the most intelligent people in the world. Yes, they are the smartest you find anywhere in the world. However, the problem with intelligent and smart people is that, in anything they do, their intelligence and smartness come to play and others in the same circle hardly match their rare skills. In business, they will be intelligent and smart, in education, they will be intelligent and smart, in music and entertainment, they will be intelligent and smart and also in criminality, they will be intelligent and smart. As we all know, negative stories sells faster than anything else and this explains why Nigerian criminals are also world famous for their craft. Nigerian criminals, particularly the internet scammers are not in any way more dangerous than...

Presidency probes interim govt plot •Jonathan, Buhari must ensure peace —US insists The presidency has ordered a discreet investigation into a reported plot by some high-profile Nigerians to foist an interim government on Nigeria in the event of a deadlocked presidential election next month. An informed government source confirmed that already, a preliminary report revealed the plot being real with a former president and an unnamed Western country identified as arrowheads of the plan. The source disclosed that security forces were working on the hint that a possible think-tank existed in the country set up by those promoting the agenda which, it said, “is already fashioning out political strategies and designing a blueprint for the planned interim government.” The plot, it was gathered, was predicated on fears “that there would be no legitimate government in the country after May 29, 2015.” The security source said the secret plot is “enjoying the tacit support of a section of ...
