Widow laments ordeal in the hands of her in-laws

by admin December 25, 2024

A widow has penned an advice to unmarried women as she recounts her ordeal in the hands of her in-laws following her husband’s demise.

The widow revealed that her husband had passed away leaving her with their three sons and adopted daughter to care for.

Widow laments ordeal in the hands of her in-laws — Lady.

She revealed that her in-laws had been treating her and her children since her husband passed.

According to her, they had denied her access to their house and had reportedly tried to end their life.

Read her full narration below …

“It’s not my wish to become a widow at this time leaving this innocent 3 little boys and our adopted daughter for only me to Carter for, God decided to call my dear husband home on time, away from sickness and pains😭. But it will be an error for I Uba Princess Chidinma Ugoji to fold my arms and allow my late husband brothers take away what their late father and I labored for.
Since last week I have been denied access to the home I live with my children, my husband brothers went to my house with men of the under world thinking I was inside so that they can end my life and that of my children, unfortunately for them they met my absence inside my compound but unleashed their anger on my staff and my younger sister went away with documents, pushed them out my home almost naked and gave a stern warning that I shouldn’t come close to my house if I don’t want to my family to come carry my dead body. As if that wasn’t enough, they changed my house keys and locked I and my kids outside. With the help of the Nigeria police, they were able to apprehend them yesterday and took one of them to my house and made him unlock their keys so that I and my kids can have access to my house.
I never knew this is what young widows go through in the hands of some Mbano people😭😭😭😭.
Death!!!!! You do this one.”

Birth of Jesus Christ defining moment for mankind — Gov Adeleke

by admin December 25, 2024

Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke has described the birth of Jesus Christ as the defining moment for mankind.

This is as Governor Adeleke disclosed that the Christmas season is a solemn reminder of the power of love and how it can save humanity.

In a messages signed by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed on Wednesday, Governor Adeleke also urged Christians to follow Jesus Christ’s example of compassion and tolerance.

While recognising unity and togetherness as an important message that Jesus Christ’s life resonates, Governor Adeleke also charged Osun people, particularly Christians, to draw from the spiritual import of the celebration by sharing love and fostering harmony in communities.

The message reads in part, “I extend my warm wishes to Christian faithful in Osun state and beyond as we mark this year’s Christmas. The birth of Jesus Christ is a manifestation of the power of love and remind us of the essence of compassion,” the Governor noted in his message.

“In the mood of celebration, I urge us to take a moment to reflect on the message of renewal that the birth of Jesus Christ signifies, promoting activities that will unite not divide, build not destroy, and bring peace not conflict.

“It is also my sincere appeal that we extend hands of kindness to the needy and the weak in the society, spreading love and generosity beyond borders. That is the essence of Christmas and it is most essential that at a time like this, no one is left to their fate.”

Governor Adeleke who noted his administration’s efforts to ease the pressure of hard time on the people of the state, said the implementation of the new minimum wage for workers and pensioners will ensure that many families have a blissful Christmas celebration.

“Across Osun state, workers are receiving credit alert of the implementation of the new minimum wage in their various accounts just as the approved welfare package for pensioners is being paid as a mark of our administration’s commitment to ensure that families have no hindrance in celebrating Christmas.

“Beyond welfare, our administration has invested heavily in upscaling the state road network, ensuring that people can move without hitches. We will continue to prioritise interventions that will have a positive impact on the lives of Osun people,” he stated.

While wishing for hitch-free celebration and prosperous 2025, Governor Adeleke assured Osun people that his government will continue to pursue development projects, noting that more investments in the wellbeing of Osun people will be made so as to drive the expected progress next year.

On his part, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola urged Christian faithfuls to imbibe Christ’s virtues and reflect the spirit of love, unity, peaceful coexistence and hard-work in their inward and outward dispositions.

Oyetola, in a statement personally signed on Wednesday called on Christians to renew their faith in God and be more dedicated to His service, adding that it was part of reasons for the celebration across the globe.

He emphasised the need for hard-work, resilience and perseverance in the face of the current socio-economic reality.

He enjoined Nigerians, particularly Christians, to use the period of Christmas to offer prayers for the unbroken peace, harmony and prosperity of the country.

“It is yet another season of love, unity, good neighbourliness and re-dedication to the service of God and humanity. It is a time for sober reflection and to advance the cause that Christ stood for as Christmas celebration goes beyond merriment.

“So, I urge us all to imbibe the virtues of love, oneness and selflessness which are the cardinal reasons for the celebration. Let’s be our brother’s keepers by extending the hands of fellowship to one another during and after the festive period.

“As citizens, it is time to renew our faith in God and internalise Christ’s virtues which was the primary reason for the celebration. I, therefore, encourage our Christian brothers and sisters to use the occasion to offer prayers for the continued peace, unity and togetherness of Nigeria,” he stated.

Not probing past military spending means rewarding corruption – Sani blasts Tinubu

by admin December 25, 2024

A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has slammed President Bola Tinubu for saying he is not interested in probing military spending under his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.

Sani stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday.

DAILY POST recalls that President Tinubu during a media chat on Monday said he won’t probe military expenditure under Buhari.

The ex-lawmaker said doing that was tantamount to rewarding larceny and corruption.

According to him, the President’s stance was contradictory to his probe of the past activities of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, under embattled its former governor, Godwin Emefiele.

“When you find yourself in this position, especially with a nation facing these critical issues like ours, you still have to go backward and see how public funds that were looted have been recovered and I think we have been doing that with what has happened in the CBN the last time.

“But when one of the panelists questioned him (Tinubu) about the looting, the mismanagement of security and defense forces under the Buhari administration, which he needs to probe, I think he made it clear that he is more interested in moving forward than moving backward. It’s a bit contradictory; you can move backward in CBN but you can’t move backward in security.

“I believe that what should have been is that if he is being provided with evidence that shows that there are clear cases of corruption, he would move to recover public funds. That is what the answer was supposed to be.

“If you say that whatever happened in the past has gone, it is more like rewarding larceny which he has done by saying he is not going to go back,” he said.

He added that Tinubu should be held accountable for all his policies and the actions of his ministers since he claimed all his cabinet members are performing.

Enugu govt, diaspora groups to collaborate on devt of state

by admin December 25, 2024

COSMAS CHUKWU ,Enugu

Some groups of Enugu indigenes living in the diaspora have expressed commitment to strengthen the relationship with the Enugu State Government in order to bolster investment and rebuild the state; growing its economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion.

This was disclosed by Dr. Chy Agbayi, the National President of the Enugu State Association in the United States (Enugu USA), while leading a delegation of other diaspora groups to the Enugu State Government House on Monday.

Dr. Agbayi, a medical practitioner in the United States, said that the group had noticed how bullish the state governor, Dr Peter Mbah, has been in developing the state, prioritizing education, healthcare, infrastructure, security of life and property and making the state attractive for investment, tourism and living, had come to commend him and also seek collaboration with his administration in developing Enugu.

According to her, Governor Mbah has demonstrated vision and purposeful leadership as his efforts in the area of human capital development, especially as it concerns education and health, have tremendously impacted lives.

“We are here today to commend His Excellency for the job he is doing for our state. Actually, when we came back, we were able to see much of what he has done and what he is still doing. We, the diasporians are here to see how we can collaborate with the state government to join them in the good work they are doing and see how we can foster more things that can help the economy of Enugu State.

“Our health care is a major thing that has been lacking for a long time, but currently, we are impressed with what the governor is doing in that sector. I am equally calling on other diasporans to join the governor in making Enugu our dream state,” Agbayi said.

Speaking, the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, who represented the governor in the meeting, said that the Governor Mbah-led administration is a focused administration that translates every policy it makes into reality.

According to him, the state government had embarked on a massive infrastructural rebirth which includes, building the Enugu Smart Green Schools to enable the younger generation embrace the use of modern technology, 260 Type-2 primary healthcare facilities that will eliminate maternal and child mortality, as well as the revamping of all moribund assets across the state.

Governor Mbah recalled the government’s efforts in constructing and paving roads in the state, including opening up the rural areas and linking them to the urban cities, enabling farmers to transport their goods to the cities and reducing post-harvest losses.

He added that the state was committed to increasing its revenue from $4.4 billion to $30 billion as a way of boosting economic growth, job creation, and eradication of poverty through wealth creation.

Stressing that education has maintained a large share of 33% of the state’s 2024 and 2025 budgets, Governor Mbah promised to make the state a reference point for education, medical tourism, and inflow of investments.

He further noted: “In Enugu State, transparency, traceability and accountability is the key. We are intentional about everything we do in Enugu and that is why we do stakeholders engagements to ensure that our people are being carried along, enabling them to take ownership and by so doing ensuring sustainability.

“We are touching every sector. In our education, we have established the Institute of Experiential Learning where teachers are being trained and researches conducted before the pedagogic learning takes place in the classrooms. In our smart schools, we teach Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Robotics, Mechatronics, Argumented Realities, etc. This is to enable our kids to compete with their peers in developed countries.

In the health sector, the governor said: “There is no way a woman should die during childbearing. It was discovered that some women die during the prenatal stage. That was the idea behind the Type-2 primary health care centres, even as we are equally equipping other health care facilities in the state. We have a lot going on in our state, and our target in the area of human development and empowerment is to reduce our poverty headcount to zero,” he said.

Other participants in the meeting included the Special Adviser to the Governor on Diaspora Matters, Mrs. Olangwa Ezeukwu,

Also participating via Zoom were the presidents of Enugu diaspora organizations in the America’s, Europe, United Arab Emirates and South Africa.

EndSARS protest, one of my toughest moments as governor – Sanwo-Olu

by admin December 25, 2024

IBRAHIM QUADRI

Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu has described the October 2020 EndSARS’ protest period as one of his toughest moments as a leader.

Sanwo-Olu made this known on Monday during a chat with 30 fellows of the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy, at the State House, Ikeja.

The Academy which was created by Sanwo-Olu was to immortalize the first executive Governor of the State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande.

The Academy is aimed at developing young, change-oriented individuals who are passionate about shaping the future of Nigeria.

Sanwo-Olu said, “One of my toughest moments as a leader was during the EndSARS protest. We have been tested as a government, but we must continue to put the needs of Lagosians beyond our struggles as a responsive and responsible government.

”No bad news stays forever. Work hard to create good news and make sure people listen to it,” Sanwo-Olu said.

He advised fellows of the academy to be intentional about developing their leadership skills.

”For you to have been selected out of 16,000 applicants means there is something of value in you.

“Leadership is something we should be deliberate about which was why we created this academy.

“You all are champions of good leadership. Challenge yourselves. The only limitation you have is not dreaming big enough.

”I know your generation may not know who Alhaji Lateef Jakande was,” he said.

The Governor said that Jakande epitomised leadership, noting “That is why we are still talking about him today,” he said.

The Governor told the fellows that it would be important to show courage in the face of adversity. A trait of a good leader is the ability to tolerate and endure, which is why we need you to stay together so you will learn how to tolerate each other and make meaningful friendships.

”You need to be courageous and be solution-oriented, don’t focus on the challenges,” he said.

The Academy’s Executive Secretary, Mrs Ayisat Agbaje-Okunade thanked the Governor for addressing the fellows.

For a better society

In a heartfelt message, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has called on residents to reaffirm their commitment to serving God and upholding His laws.

Wike emphasized the importance of emulating Jesus Christ’s obedience to God’s commandments, particularly by showing love and kindness to those around us.

“I congratulate all residents of the Federal Capital Territory for the grace of celebrating another Christmas,” Wike said.

“It is my prayer that the good Lord who made this possible will ensure that we all celebrate many more Christmas in good health.”

Wike also expressed his condolences to the families of victims affected by recent stampedes in Abuja, praying that God grants them the strength to bear their irreparable loss.

The Minister reiterated the significance of using Christmas as an opportunity to recommit to God’s service and obey His commandments.

He emphasized that Christians, in particular, have a perpetual obligation to uphold God’s laws, as taught by Jesus Christ.

Wike also expressed confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, stating that “things will keep getting better” ¹.
