We Need To Team Up To Fight Common Enemies – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has called on West African countries to team up to fight what he describes as “common enemies” in the region.

A statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said the President made the call on Friday when he received the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and President of Togo, Faure Gnassingbe, in Katsina.

The meeting of both presidents which lasted for about an hour was held behind closed doors at the presidential lodge, Katsina State.

Buhari emphasized that terrorism now transcends international boundaries, and no country can combat the scourge alone.

“We need to team up to fight common enemies. Terrorists in whatever form are enemies of humanity and no effort must be spared to protect our people. I will always support anything that is meant to enhance security in our region,” he said.

President Gnassingbe, on the other hand, said issues of insecurity are not peculiar to Nigeria alone but are common to a number of countries, including his country.

“It is not a religious or ethnic problem and must not be misconceived as such. We will discuss the matter, and try to find a solution,” President Gnassingbe said.

The Togolose President also condoled with President Buhari on the fire disaster caused by a fallen petrol tanker in Lagos on Thursday.

Furthermore, he thanked his host for his help in calming the political situation in Togo, adding that he was happy to be in Katsina, the homestead of President Buhari.

After the meeting, Gnassingbe told journalists that he was there to brief the President Buhari on the situation in the region of Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Togo respectively.

He said the meeting was also aimed at informing and inviting the president to a scheduled meeting between the central African countries and West African countries and the upcoming ECOWAS Summit scheduled to hold on July 21, 2018.

We are already in Igbo land, we have taking over, says Miyetti Allah

We are already in Igbo land, we have taking over, says Miyetti Allah Every land in Nigeria belongs to Fulani, says Miyetti Allah The Chairman of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Alhaji Abdullahi Bodejo, has declared that land all over Nigeria belong to the Fulani. According to him, those claiming to owe land and would not release it to government for ranching were being selfish and do not want peace in the land. He told Sun that his group was supporting the establishment of ranches 100 per cent, disclosing that, “it is because there are no ranches that some Fulani elements from other states are opposed to anti-grazing law. “But with the intervention of the Federal Government, Fulani can now confine their grazing activities to a particular area. “They are raising opposition to it because the President of the federation is a Fulani man. I don’t know the basis of the opposition, but those people who are opposed to it are enemies of the Fulani. They are trying to gang up agains...

BISHOP OYEDEPO ADDRESSES ISSUE OF LIVING FAITH RURAL CHURCHES LOW INCOME

NONSENSE ! OUR ONLY CRITERIA IS HOW MANY SOULS WON AND NOT HOW MUCH INCOME. WHEN WE EMPLOYED 7000 PASTORS AT ONCE SOCIAL MEDIA WAS DEAD. WE HAVE MORE EMPLOYEES THAN MOST STATES IN NIGERIA AND WE HAVE NEVER OWED THEM OR TAKEN BANK OVERDRAFT ONCE. THE PASTORS WERE ASKED TO GO BECAUSE THEY WERE UNFRUITFUL. MANY OF THE CHURCHES BUILT CAN NEVER PAY FOR THE CHURCH BUILDING IN 30 YEARS. WE HAVE NO PATIENCE WITH FAILURE HERE. -Bishop David Oyedepo at CHoP *We have built more than 1,000 Churches in rural areas where in the next 30 years, they can never generate such fund, with each costing more than 14 Million Naira. *We are hunting after souls, not income. People are confused about our Ministry. I learnt some fellows said, “you know, they are not bringing income, that is why they asked them to go.” We asked you to go because you are unfruitful. Unfruitful! Blatant failure. Doing what there? We have no patience with failure here. When we employed 7,000 people at a time, Social Media was...

AS NIGERIA CRUMBLES, NO UNITY IN DIVERSITY

In recent times, I have sat down to observe the Horrors going on in Nigeria. I have engaged people in discussion to get their views and in a deep reflection, all i can see is complete disdain, failure and frustration because every sector has crumbled to irredeemable state. Today, i am not writing as a Biafran like I use to, but as an African, who imagines rapid development across the continent of Africa IF Biafra is restored tomorrow. I am just looking at the versed human and technological resources in Biafra Land and how the continent will flood BIAFRA for different businesses. Nigeria must accept the fact that the major root to our problems is DIVERSITY IN CULTURE AND BELIEFS. This is why we have never been United from inception. No Nation with different cultures and beliefs ever succeeded. Some questions you may ask... Can America and Pakistan exist as a Nation considering the fact that they are people with different value system? NIGERIA was created forcefully by a white m...
