Nigerians On Their Way To ISIS Arrested In India via afrikkagist

Image
The two Nigerians, who claimed to be cousins, were identified as Imran Kabir, 24, and Jamilu Sani, 25 years of age. They were arrested by Border Security Force (BSF) personnel after a hot chase. “Both wanted to go to Pakistan for pursuing Islamic studies. Sani had a Nigerian passport, while Kabir didn’t. We recovered five printouts taken from Google maps of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. They described Iraq as their final destination,”  a BSF spokesperson said. The duo got to the checkpost at about 5.50am in a stolen swift dzire taxi. The BSF said they had hired the taxi from Delhi and made off with it on reaching Amritsar when the driver, with whom they had a tiff on Thursday night over the fare, was asleep. They parked the car close to the border and enquired about the route to Pakistan. They were told that the border was closed at that time, but rather than leaving, they waited near the car. The BSF personnel, who are ever on high alert, got suspicious and a...

Service chiefs urged to relocate to North East for six months

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday met with the newly appointed Service Chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja with a directive that they should rise up to the nation’s current security challenges. The Coalition of Concerned Nigeria Security Experts (CCNSE) on Wednesday slammed the service chiefs for choosing to operate from Abuja, asking them to relocate to the Northeast, the epicentre of insecurity in Nigeria. The coalition expressed concern that two months after the security chiefs assumed office, insecurity was getting worse. Its national coordinator, Prof. Otedola Adekunle and national secretary, Dr Chris Aklo, challenged the security heads to live up to their responsibilities, saying that two months was enough for them to make some visible impact in tackling insecurity “Since the most anticipated appointments of the new service chiefs on January 26, 2021, we expected that by now, there would be at least a gradual turnaround in the security of the country, but it’s sad that ...

Angelus, 1° gennaio 2024, Solennità di Maria SS.ma Madre di Dio

Cari fratelli e sorelle, buon anno! In questo giorno, nel quale celebriamo Maria Santissima Madre di Dio, poniamo sotto il suo sguardo premuroso il nuovo tempo che ci è donato. Che lei ci custodisca in quest’anno. Oggi il Vangelo ci svela che la grandezza di Maria non consiste nel compiere qualche azione straordinaria; piuttosto, mentre i pastori, ricevuto l’annuncio dagli angeli, si affrettano verso Betlemme (cfr Lc 2,15-16), lei rimane in silenzio. È un bel tratto il silenzio della Madre. Non si tratta di una semplice assenza di parole, ma di un silenzio colmo di stupore e di adorazione per le meraviglie che Dio sta operando. «Maria – annota San Luca – […] custodiva tutte queste cose, meditandole nel suo cuore» (2,19). In tal modo ella fa spazio in sé a Colui che è nato; nel silenzio e nell’adorazione, mette Gesù al centro e lo testimonia come Salvatore. Maria, la Madre del silenzio; Maria, la Madre dell’adorazione. Così è Madre non solo perché ha portato Gesù in grembo e lo...

THE HOLY MASS

Image
The Holy Mass is considered by many believers to possess a profound and transformative power that extends beyond a mere religious ritual. It is viewed as a sacred encounter with the divine, a source of spiritual strength, and a communal expression of faith. The power of the Holy Mass is multi-faceted and encompasses spiritual, communal, and personal dimensions. 1. Spiritual Nourishment: At the heart of the Holy Mass is the Liturgy of the Eucharist, where bread and wine are consecrated and believed to become the actual Body and Blood of Christ.
