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...

Tinubu Ignored My Advice” – Soyinka Says After Presenting 7-point Agenda To The President Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has revealled his private conversations with President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar before the 2023 elections. Speaking after a “Christmas visit” to the president’s Lagos residence on Sunday, Soyinka said he had advised Tinubu and Atiku to drop their presidential ambitions for young Nigerians. Soyinka, however, said the duo neglected his advice. “I came here with a seven-point agenda. And we had a very thorough discussion on those items,” Soyinka said. “Actually, it’s an embarrassing visit because when I visited him the last time, it was to try and persuade him not to run for office. I told Atiku and himself to please leave the ground so young people could run. That’s the last time we met about five years ago. “So I came to see how he was doing after ignoring my advice. I came to see how both he and his wife were weatherin...

Udienza Generale del 3 gennaio 2024 - Catechesi. I vizi e le virtù. 2. Il Combattimento spirituale

Il testo qui di seguito include anche parti non lette che sono date ugualmente come pronunciate:   Catechesi. I vizi e le virtù. 2. Il Combattimento spirituale Cari fratelli e sorelle, buongiorno! La scorsa settimana ci siamo introdotti nel tema dei vizi e delle virtù. Esso richiama alla lotta spirituale del cristiano. Infatti, la vita spirituale del cristiano non è pacifica, lineare e priva di sfide; al contrario, la vita cristiana esige un continuo combattimento: il combattimento cristiano per conservare la fede, per arricchire i doni della fede in noi. Non a caso, la prima unzione che ogni cristiano riceve nel sacramento del Battesimo – l’unzione catecumenale – è senza alcun profumo e annuncia simbolicamente che la vita è una lotta. Infatti, nell’antichità, i lottatori, prima della gara, venivano completamente unti, sia per tonificare i muscoli, sia per rendere il corpo sfuggente alla presa dell’avversario. L’unzione dei catecumeni mette subito in chiaro che al cristiano ...
