Clerics embark on empowering abandoned IDPs in North-West on fishing business-kingdomnewng

Evangelist Buru, in a statement, said the gesture is aimed at creating job opportunities and to seriously reduce over-dependence on humanitarian assistance from donor-organizations, including the Red Cross, NEMA, SEMA and volunteer organisations, state and federal government.

“The essence is to make them to be dependent of themselves like every other businessmen and women across the globe.”

The Christian cleric, who visited River Kaduna with teams of Muslim and Christian scholars to donate cash to some of the selected women refugees, also met and interacted with other fishermen in the area, and held dialogue with them on the importance of promoting peaceful co-existence, religious tolerance and better understanding among different faith organisations.

He also appealed to all the fishermen to immensely cut down prices of their fresh fish from the River so as to enable the women sell at affordable price to their customers.

“Recession is real; every family man must go back to business, in order to meet up, and that is why we are encouraging the female refugees to re-dedicate their time in learning other skills and businesses, to take care of their families.”

Pastor Buru said there is need to support most of the female refugees with some little capital, in order to encourage them to start a good business that could change their lives for better, and reduce over-dependence on all sorts of humanitarian assistance that is coming from national and international communities.

He noted that most of the female refugees that are currently living in some parts of the northern states were already into selling of fish business at their home state, Borno, adding that supporting them with some little capital would surely boost their morale for engaging in the fish business and other sundry businesses that could enable them cater for their children’s needs, including their education.

Pastor Buru then called on the 19 Northern states’ philanthropists, Northern Governors Forum, Northern Senators, religious bodies, “JNI & CAN,” unions of tertiary institutes’ lecturers.

He also enjoined northerners to form a Foundation capable of supporting the need and demand of North-East IDPs and also in training most of their youth on other various skilled acquisitions.

Responding, Mama Aisha from Gamboring Gala of Borno state, and a beneficiary, thanked Pastor Buru for assisting many refugee women with capital to start fish business. “Indeed, starting selling fish business will help me in providing food and paying house rent for my children, and also supporting them to have quality education like any other child.”

Mama Aisha said, “This is the season of having many fresh fish from river, as the rain has started going, and normally most of us are into selling fish business in our former territory – from Baga to other places – before the sudden attack of Boko Haram 10 years back.”

Additionally, Mama Aisha also said that, “Most of the women that are staying in Kaduna and other parts of the north have become widows as a result of Boko Haram that killed their men,” she said, stressing that there are over 9 children that are now staying with her; and without doing any business, their lives will be in danger as there is no one now that is supporting them with anything to eat.

Mama Aisha called on Nigerians to help IDPs and also introduce various skilled programs so as to help them fight poverty, hunger and unemployment, which are ills disturbing women refugees that are now living in various northern Nigerian states. She added that, “We need more capital to start other businesses so that we can take over fish farming business in Nigeria.”

Youth Leader Resigns To Fight El-Rufai Conspiracy and Anti-People Policies

National Youth leader of Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU), Comrade Nasiru Jagaba, has resigned his appointment with Kaduna state government with the sole aim to deal with ‘contending issues’ bothering on conspiracy, prejudice, social denigration/denial, anti-people polices and grazing reserves in their area.

Addressing newsmen shortly after his resignation from Due Process Office in Kaduna, Jagaba said he deliberately resigned to join his people to also stand against anti-people policies of Governor Nasir El-Rufai against Southern Kaduna people.

In an elaborate text, Jagaba bloated that, “I just tendered resignation letter with Kaduna state government because my conscience leaves me with no other choice.”
He continued that, “I’ve sensed a conspiracy by the government of the day to cage me, put a gag on my mouth and to make me docile and voiceless.”

He further said, “This has informed my decision to put up my resignation letter so as to stand with my people, to raise my voice against prejudice, social denigration and denial.”

Jagaba, in company of other exco-members, also said, at a time like this – when his people are faced with so many subjugations, “silence is betrayal” and, therefore, called for radical departures from the destruction of Southern Kaduna.

“The mission to which Southern Kaduna youth called me is the most difficult one even when pressed by the demands to break the silence, especially now that we have found ourselves in the hands of an evil organization that acts without conscience, morals, human dignity and respect for rule of law or fear of God,” he said, adding that, “I am saddened with anti-people policies of Nasir El-Rufai towards the good people of Southern Kaduna.”

According to him, “El-Rufai wakes up every day to manufacture very harmful and demonic policies to cripple our will and spirit,” – a recap on the governor’s recent announcement of his intention to build Grazing Reserves across communities in Southern Kaduna.

Doing so, according him, would mean to cohabitate Southern Kaduna with the same strange and volatile Fulani that have been attacking defenceless communities in the same area. “Since Fulani started their barbaric activities somewhere around 2010, they have burnt over 500 houses and killed over 4000 lives, especially women and children.”

He expressed worry that El-Rufai’s land reclamation programme in the state has failed to note that governance is a continuous enterprise, saying late Governor Ibrahim Yakowa of the state set up a committee and issued a government White Paper that explicitly created a boundary between Ghagyi Villa and Polytechnic with a sketch plan produced and signed by Surveyor-General of the state.

“But, in cruel display of power, El-Rufai had sworn with Holy Qu’ran to demolish the area, even when the matter was still pending in court, showing he has no respect for the rule of law.”

They queried that El-Rufai has no any visible development in Southern Kaduna since he assumed office as governor, other than grazing reserves that he forcefully wants to establish in the area and planned demolition of Gbagyi Villa. The plan not to site FG proposed universities in Kaduna South was among issues raised against El-Rufai.

Massacre in Kodomu: Is Nigeria Now A Jungle?

Gentlemen of the press,
It is with a heavy heart that the Bwatiye Community represented by our umbrella organization, *PENE* *DA* *BWATIYE* wish to address you today. We draw attention to the massive destruction of the rural town of Kodomun in Demsa Local Government of Adamawa State and the brutal cold blooded murder of twenty five (25) persons comprising our revered elders, young and middle aged men, women and children. As we address you today, the entire population of about 2,500 inhabitants are now homeless and scattered in towns and villages as Internally Displaced Persons.
Please recall that from January to July this year, similar mass killings took place in the Bwatiye villages of Koh, Goron, Ndikajam, Tabongo, No-Ine Fawaire and Jimoh in Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State where seventy two (72) deaths were recorded including the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Vunoklang, a suburb of the Jimeta metropolis. These killings were perpetrated by suspected Fulani Herdsmen and their hired mercenaries. Up to this time, no one, to the best of our knowledge has been questioned or sanctioned by the authorities over the incidence and no compensation to the victims.
As painful as the destruction and looting of property and the brutal killings of our defenceless people and the removal of some vital parts of their bodies for ritual purposes have been, we have managed with difficulty, to implore our communities to refrain from taking the law into their own hands. While we continue to look up to the State Government for justice and protection, unfortunately, government failed in this regard. We find this failure of government unacceptable, as it is equally becoming more challenging to restrain our people from rising up to their own self defence by every possible means against armed Fulani herdsmen that are using assault riffles and hard core military weapons, as didi in Koh, Ndikajam, No-Ine, Tabongo Goron, Fawaire and Jimoh in Girei Local Government Area.
The impunity of these invaders will not stop unless the government ceases to treat them with kid gloves. We are gratified that the president of the Federal republic of Nigeria, President Muhamamdu Buhari has at last directed the security agents to disarm them. However, we wait to see what will happen, for with the likes of commissioner of Police of Adamawa State as law enforcement officers, we will be faced with either inaction or complicity. You will recall that this Commissioner of Police on Tuesday 2nd August, 2016 said no life was lost in the invasion on Kodomun and that he did not allow his men to intervene in the attack because according to the Commissioner of Police, this was a Communal clash and to do so, would appear to be taking sides. We feel that this man is not fit for Command. He should be removed immediately by the Inspector General of Police.
In light of the foregoing, we unequivocally affirm that it is not a coincidence that the brunt of these murderous attacks have been directed mainly at the ethnic nationalities and other well meaning citizens who are opposed to this diabolic agenda.
The activities of these evil men is not limited to the Bwatiye alone, it is rather a carefully calculated and orchestrated agenda by these dangerous external Fulani Marauders in collaboration with their local herdsmen and sponsors to lay state, sack and take over the fertile agricultural lands of the indigenous groups.
First they struck in Dumne and massacred several Yungur people. In 2012, they invaded Lamurde LGA and touched several of the Sobo settlements through a highly sophisticated mercenary force whose advance was only checked through the late intervention of a combined team of police and military troops.
Between 2010 – 2014, through the diabolic Boko Haram sect, these blood thirsty organizations laid waste to the largest concentration of ethnic nationalities in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa States destabilizing in the process the Marghi, Higgi, Fali, Gude, Janyi, Kilba, Hona, Lala, Bura, Ga’anda, Mboi, to name a few. The strategy they employed is a simple one isolate the different ethnic nationalities and strike them at will. They started this in Plateau State, then moved to Nasarawa and Benue States. They have laid siege to Kogi, Ekiti, Ondo, Enugu, Delta, Taraba, Kaduna, Zamfara, Nasarawa States etc. This is therefore, a wake-up call on all and sundry to stand up and fight this common evil by all well meaning and peace loving Nigerians.

OUR DEMANDS

1. That, as a matter of priority and urgency, government should immediately come to the aid of the victims of the Kodomun massacre through the provision of relief materials. Government should also rehabilitate and settle the affected community as houses and property have been destroyed and they could hardly afford to provide shelter for themselves.
2. We as a people have a well known attribute of love for peace and good communal life with all people who seek sojourn in Bwatiye land. We would cooperate with Government in finding ways to ensure that justice is done through the CONSTITUTION OF HIGH POWERED JUDICIAL PANEL OF ENQUIRY with task to ascertain the true position of the immediate and remote causes of all these deadly attacks on innocent and defenceless people, in all cases by surprise in their sleep, on their farms or as in the case of Kodomun as the people gathered to bury their dead. We call on the government of Adamawa State, His Excellency Mohammed Umaru Jibrilla to take this important step to provide a permanent settlement to the raids and feuds in the interest of peace in Adamawa State.
3. We assume government is aware that unless culprits are brought to book, we run the danger of communities resorting to the dreadful steps of securing justice against the tenets of civilized society. The danger is that as no section of the citizenry or ethnic group has a monopoly on violence, other groups will take measures to protect themselves and their property. The result is going to be chaos and disorder in the country beyond the scope of government to control, should it desire to do so at this stage, we call on the government to check this dangerous drift to anarchy.
4. Consequently and more importantly, we demand the immediate disarming of Fulani Herdsmen and immediate proactive steps towards restoring amicable farmers / grazers relationship for the benefit of peace and harmony in Adamawa State.
In conclusion, *PENE* *DA* *BWATIYE* *WORLDWIDE* here again calls loudly to all Bwatiye sons and daughters and other ethnic nationalities to in spite of our distress, to keep the faith in the Federal and State Governments, to remain law abiding, respecting all constituted and responsible authority.
We appreciate you the media and look forward to your reports.
Sign for and on behalf of the Bwatiye Worldwide.

Sharia Or Christainity: Smugglers in Corridors Of Power in Nigeria

A Christian is murdered for his faith every 5 minutes…
Eleven Christians are murdered for their faith every hour… and over 100,000 Christians are murdered every 365days.
The question is this “if a knife is held against your throat, will you deny Jesus Christ?”
Recently, four young children who were captured by the ISIS terrorists (the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria; extremist militant group that rules by Islamic law) were forced to deny Jesus Christ and these were their words “No, we love Yesua (the Iraq name for Jesus), we have always loved Yesua, we have always followed Yesua, Yesua has always been with a us.” After the ISIS forced them to covert and yet again they refused, these four children were beheaded.
Sadly, Many Nigerians who profess to be Christians are denying Christ daily. The main reason for their denial is that they would rather choose their life here on earth more than dying for what they belief. Denial might not come in form of being killed by some ISIS group… IT IS ACTUALLY REMAINING SILENT WHEN IT’S TIME TO SPEAK UP FOR HIM.
Operating under the Islamic practice of “Taquiyya” which permits a Muslim to defeat an “infidel” in order to gain the mastery over him, here are some shocking and revealing truths on the activities of Muslims in Nigeria, while Christians just sit, watch and pray without doing anything to defend their faith;
At the beginning in 1914, southern Nigeria was smuggled into a political entity called Nigeria, which was and has continually been subtly governed by the Islamic sultanate.
In 1986 the leaders of the Muslim North surreptitiously smuggled Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) and kept it out of public knowledge for 10 solid years.
In 1999, the sharia was smuggled in to the national constitution, thereby creating a dual ideology for the nation. This has given birth and immunity to the monstrous t dreaded Islamic terrorism movement-BOKO HARAM.
Between 1975 to 1999, Nigeria was smuggled into the Islam in Africa Organization, D8, which was a compromise of section 10 of the constitution on separation of state and religion.
Smuggling of the Quran and Islam into the church via hellish conspiracy called “CHRISLAM”-an unholy amalgamation of Christianity and Islam. ERROR!…For what fellowship hath light with darkness.. (2Cor.6:14-16)
Now in 2016, we are faced with the smuggling of Islamic religious Studies (IRS), into our children’s brain/mind through subtly devised curriculum merge of CRK, IRS, Civic Education, Social Studies and Security Education into one compulsory subject.
Forceful smuggling of “Fulani herdsmen” who actually are Islamic fundamentalist and terrorist, into our villages, communities and cities. This is being sponsored by the federal government all in the name of “Grazing Bill”
These are all clear cases of Religious SMUGGLING. SMUGGLING, being the illegal transportation of objects, substances, information or people, out of a place into a prison, or across an international or intra-national border in violation of applicable laws or other regulations.
ENOUGH OF THIS SMUGGLING! THE TIME TO DEFEND THE BORDERS OF OUR FAITH IS NOW! WE MUST ARISE, SPEAK UP AND FIGHT BACK TO RECLAIM AND PRESERVE OUR LAND AND HERITAGE…
“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.” ACTS 17:26
