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 ...

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.

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...

The Power of the Eucharist

Image
The Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper, holds a central place in Christian theology and worship, particularly in Catholic, Orthodox, and many Protestant traditions. The power of the Eucharist is deeply rooted in its symbolism, significance, and the spiritual beliefs associated with the sacrament. 1. Real Presence of Christ:  One of the most profound aspects of the Eucharist is the belief in the real presence of Christ in the consecrated elements. According to Christian doctrine, during the Eucharistic prayer, the bread and wine become, in a mysterious and spiritual way, the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. This concept, known as transubstantiation in Catholic theology, emphasizes the tangible and intimate connection between the worshiper and Christ. 2. Spiritual Nourishment: The act of receiving the consecrated elements during the Eucharist is seen as a form of spiritual nourishment. Christians believe that partaking in the Body and Blood of Christ ...
