….appreciates Governor Abiodun’s responsiveness to the recent cult killings

 

 

 

 

The youths under the umbrella of Sagamu Students Association and Coalition of Sagamu Students Leaders Forum has recommended community policing as the possible way to bring an end to cult clashes in Sagamu area of Ogun state today 28th of September 2023.

 

 

 

 

 

According to the press statement jointly signed by Comrade Abdullahi Popo-ola, President, Sagamu Students Association and Comrade Waheed Olalekan Shittu, Coordinator, Coalition of Sagamu Student Leaders Forum, “Let me on a sad reflection and on behalf of thousands of indeginous Sagamu Students , read the texts of this press conference tagged “SAY NO TO CULT KILLINGS IN SAGAMU”, organized by the leadership of the Sagamu Students Association and Coalition of Sagamu Student Leaders Forum, the apex student’s body that is saddled with the responsibility, preservation and protection of the interest, well being and rights of Sagamu Students in all the tertiary institutions across the nation.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“It indeed saddens our conscious hearts, to address this press gathering today and to talk about the peak of cult related killings in our dear town, as it has become an unavoidable shame to the entire people of Sagamu community. The high rate of crime, acts of cultism, cult related killings, drug abuse, prostitution and other social vices in Sagamu is highly worrisome and calls for more than our urgent attention and concern. This has truly and indeed got to the height of communal shame for Sagamu town among the league of communities in Nigeria.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Every reasonable citizens and residents of Sagamu town, must rise up against these social menace in all forms and not minding whose ox is gored. This is not the time for every concerned stakeholders to fold their arms or put up the usual and common ” I don’t care” attitudes. With all sense of communal consciousness and future fears, If we don’t collectively end these social vices now, I pray that, may it not end the peace, progress and prosperity of our dear Sagamu town and it’s environs. (May Almighty God and the gods of our land forbid bad things).”

 

 

 

 

 

“Without any fear or favor, it is disheartening and disgusting to say that Sagamu has become a centre field for cult related activities and killings. Government agencies, stakeholders and community leaders have come up with different ideas and way forward to end this menace but it’s very unfortunate to say, that all efforts has proved abortive and it’s seems there no solution to this menace.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They said the rise in cult killings in Sagamu needed to be urgently addressed and tackled strategically at this conscious point, noting that there is absolute and compulsory need for every Sagamu indigenous people and residents to rise up and raise their voices against every acts of cult killings in Sagamu.
Reminding them that SAGAMU is great town blessed with many economic, business and social potentials, but this cult killings is enough to destroy and disrupt these great potential status of Sagamu Town.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Urging the Government at all levels, Security Agencies, our Oba and Baales, community Leaders, Youth Leaders and other stakeholders holders, to come together and join forces to battle cult killings and ensure a compulsory community policing strategies to work.

“Let me also use this medium to specially thank the executive Governor of Ogun State, His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR, for his timely intervention in the recent cult fracas in Sagamu. If not, only God knows the number of lives and properties that would have been lost by now. We urge and appeal to the Governor, to save our souls in Sagamu. We also suggest that a stiff and strong punitive measures must be applied to anyone caught in the act of cult killings. We say enough is enough.
In the same vein, we also urge the leadership of the Ogun State House of Assembly, under the speakership of Rt. Hon Kunle Oluomo, to begin a process of enacting state laws against every acts of cult killings in the state. The time is NOW!” The statement reads.

You Are More Successful Than You Think” By Prudent Ludidi

Let's reflect as we wrap-up 2024"By Prudent Ludidi

You Are More Successful Than You Think” By Prudent Ludidi

 

There’s the truth that I believe has the power to transform your life. A truth that can shift your perspective, boost your confidence, and propel you forward. That truth is: you are more successful than you think.

We often measure success by external standards. We compare ourselves to others, focusing on their achievements and accomplishments. We forget that success is a personal journey, unique to each of us.

You see, success isn’t just about achieving grand goals or reaching milestones. Success is about progress, growth, and perseverance. It’s about showing up every day, putting in the work, and striving to be better.

Think about it. You wake up every morning, ready to face another day. You tackle challenges, overcome obstacles, and push through difficulties. You learn, adapt, and evolve. That’s success.

You’ve made it through tough times, difficult conversations, and uncertain situations. You’ve navigated uncharted territories, taken risks, and stepped outside your comfort zone. That’s success.

You’ve built relationships, formed connections, and touched lives. You’ve made a difference, no matter how small it may seem. That’s success.

You Are More Successful Than You Think" By Prudent Ludidi

But often, we downplay our achievements. We dismiss our progress, focusing on what’s still to be done. We compare our behind-the-scenes moments to everyone else’s highlight reels.

Stop doing that.

Recognize your strengths, accomplishments, and resilience. Acknowledge the late nights, early mornings, and endless efforts. Celebrate your small wins, because they add up.

You are more successful than you think.

Your success may not look like anyone else’s. It may not be flashy or Instagram-worthy. But it’s yours, and that makes it remarkable.

Don’t wait for external validation to confirm your worth. You are enough. You are worthy. You are successful.

In conclusion, remember that success is a journey, not a destination. It’s the accumulation of small victories, lessons learned, and growth experienced.

You are more successful than you think. Believe it. Own it! Celebrate it!

US-Based publisher condemns Tinubu’s inaction about Igbo killings

US-Based publisher condemns Tinubu’s inaction about Igbo killings

A veteran Nigerian journalist based in the United States of America and former Director of Strategy and Communications to President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Jackson Ude, has taken exception to the seemingly official negligence of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to the killings of innocent Igbo citizens in the South East.

The communication expert in a series of tweets on Tuesday faulted the sit-at-home policy being implemented in the region by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) describing it as unhelpful.

He wrote, “The continuous killing of Igbos by Igbos under the guise of enforcing a “sit-at-home” order to press a Biafra State, is highly irresponsible and condemned. All well meaning and patriotic Igbos must rise up in unison and condemn the wanton killing of Igbos in the South East Nigeria.

“Our people have not done any wrong going about in search of their daily bread at a time poverty and hunger has enveloped the country.

“How does it make a sense to continue denying the people you seek to protect their daily means of livelihood by enforcing a “sit-at-home” order, turn around and kill them and then claim to be protecting them from “Fulanis” or “terrorist government?”

He called on agitators for the realization of Biafra to set up a political platform rather than resorting to violence.

“The most civil way to achieve this Biafra State is to use a political party platform, elect people into the State Houses of Assembly in the South and have them all sign a referendum for a Biafra State.

“The idea that a Biafra state can be achieved through a “sit-at-home” order and the continuous killing of our people is not only childish but criminal, “he said even as he chided Tinubu for doing little or nothing to address the situation.

“And to have the Federal Government watch and allow citizens from the South East denied their rights to freedom and killed without appropriate measures to protect them is despicable, irresponsible and dangerous.

“I am also thoroughly disappointed in the lackluster attitude and the silence of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo while our people are killed by a few armed individuals.

“The bloodshed is too much and the suffering of the people who are in double jeopardy must be halted.
We must intensify the call for the immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. This is one way the shenanigans of the “sit-at-home” enforcers would end, ” he added.

“If this does not stop, another insurgent group might begin the protection of our people from the “sit-at-home” enforcers, a situation that might throw the whole region in serious chaos!
Igbos have suffered enough!
