Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP), an independent Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) has publicly unveiled the much anticipated Nigeria Peace Index (NPI) research and the index came with some shocking revelation. Nigeria Peace Index (NPI) is the first national peace index in Nigeria focused on measuring peace tendencies through foundational indices. In the Nigeria Peace Index (NPI) publicly unveiled in Abuja on Friday, Osun and Kogi State emerged as the 2 most peaceful states in Nigeria, followed by Ekiti, Kwara and Imo State, which emerged as 3rd, 4th and 5th most peaceful states respectively. The index also revealed that Yobe, Kebbi, Bauchi, Zamfara and Sokoto State are the five least peaceful states in Nigeria. This is apart from Borno State that was not considered in the research due to insufficient data and the Boko Haram red light.

Instead of diverting public attention with its usual deceit and propaganda, the APC government should gear up and deliver on its hundreds of unfulfilled campaign promises, the PDP Caucus in the House of Representatives has said.

NNAMDI OKONKWO, GMD FIDELITY BANK PLC My nature as a socio-political crusader does not allow me to keep quiet when things are going wrong in my environment, especially when innocent members of the society are unduly being punished; perhaps because they have nobody to speak for them. Few days ago, I gave a hint on my facebook wall that I would be exposing the dirty deals of a new generation bank and the excesses of the Department of State Security (DSS), who has today become a tool in the hands of some so called highly placed Nigerians to dehumanize and torture innocent Citizens of this country. The despicable activities of Operatives of the Department of State Security(DSS) has therefore made me to conclude that the Security outfit is a criminal organization used by highly placed people in this country to intimidate any member/members of the public who is/are perceived as an obstacle to their inglorious quest for questionable wealth, position and power.
