“The allegation that people from the South-East are always the first to be sent to the battle field so as to be killed is not true”
The Nigerian Army has taken the campaign for enlistment into the Military to the South East with a plea to Indigenes to embrace uniformed job.
It lamented the shortage in number of youths from the South East zone in the enlistment into the Military service.
Leader of the 2025 Army Recruitment Enlightenment Team, Brigadier General Chima Ekeator who made this known during a town hall meeting in Enugu with Local Government Council Chairmen, Traditional Rulers, President-Generals of Town Unions and other Stakeholders said it is high time they changed their attitude to reverse the trend.
Ekeator pointed out that it has been observed in the last few years that youths from the South-East zone have kept shunning their slots in the recruitment exercise with the number decreasing yearly.
“Take for example, Enugu State was given about 200 slots, but the people who made it were never up to 100 due to poor application. This has also become a recurring decimal in other states in the South East.
“Kaduna State recorded over 3,000 applications in the ongoing 2025 recruitment exercise while Enugu was still struggling to get up to 100 applicants.
“I call on youths of the zone to apply en masse in the ongoing 2025 recruitment exercise to fill their quotas the way their counterparts in other zones are doing.”
He dismissed allegations that people of South East origin were always the first to be sent to the battle front and were being killed in their numbers in the army adding that officers from the region were also holding strategic positions in the army presently.
Ekeator urged the youths to denounce all falsehoods out there that are making them shun military enlistment and enlist for the 2025 recruitment.
The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) in Ondo State has accused Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of compromising the security of the State with his victory in the 2024 Governorship election.
The party expressed dismay at the spate of insecurity in the state since after the election and inauguration of Aiyedatiwa as Governor, which has put death toll to not less than 50.
In a statement on Tuesday the director of media and publicity, Leye Igbabo, PDP noted that it may be necessary to direct the attention of President Bola Tinubu to the spate of killings ravaging the State.
“Our Party heard from a reliable source that the clear inaction of the State Governor might be due to the unholy alliance and unwholesome support that the Governor sought and got from certain powerful individuals atop the All Progressive Congress (APC), when he was running for the gubernatorial candidature of the party last year.
“We have reasons to believe that Governor Aiyedatiwa’s hands are tied and incapacitated because most of these mindless killings are allegedly being perpetrated by criminals from his benefactors’ geopolitical zone and ethnic group.
“The Peoples Democratic Party Ondo State Chapter frowns at this horrible situation and sincerely admonishes the State Governor to desist from playing politics with the lives and fortunes of harmless residents who he swore to protect, in the first instance.
“These killings are one too many and indicative of helplessness, hopelessness and huge compromise of those in the corridor of power in Ondo State.
“The Party, is by this statement, equally drawing the kind attention of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to these crude and unwarranted killings and to note the incapacitation of the State Government in tackling the growing menace.
“The kind attention of Mr President, under the prevailing circumstances, is to prepare him to consider the declaration of a state of emergency on insecurity in Ondo State, if the State government continues to demonstrate a lack of capacity to halt the senseless killings before the State, nay the whole Southwest is turned to slaughter-house for incessant spilling of the blood of innocent souls.
“PDP Ondo stateChapter is alarmed by the ceaseless killings of hapless residents of the State, whose main offence is that they lawfully engage in their daily activities needed to bring food to their tables.
“The Party cannot in all honesty, find reasons why such assailants could operate without any form of resistance for months running, in a State where there is said to be a valid government in place.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa has indeed failed in his constitutional duty as enshrined in Section 14(2)b of the 1999 constitution as amended, in that he can no longer secure and protect lives and property of citizens of Ondo State.
“It is heart-wrenching to note that in less than one month, about fifty persons have been gruesomely massacred in various settlements within the State.
“Sadly, no arrest or prosecution has been made since then and neither was any arrest even made of the marauding armed herdsmen who were on killing spree in the past. The PDP, therefore, wonders if a government still exists in Ondo State in the face of these unprovoked and unrestrained killings.”
The recent claim by Pastor David Ibiyeomie that Jesus never visited the poor during His earthly ministry—and therefore must have hated poverty—is not only theologically inaccurate but also stands in direct contradiction to the character and mission of Christ as revealed in Scripture. While the intention may have been to emphasize the dignity of prosperity, such a narrative dangerously distorts the compassionate essence of the Gospel and risks misleading believers into a flawed understanding of Christ’s message.
From the outset of His ministry, Jesus made it unequivocally clear that the poor were central to His mission. In Luke 4:18–19, Jesus read from the scroll of Isaiah in the synagogue, declaring, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor.” This was not a symbolic or abstract statement—it was a foundational declaration of purpose. The Good News—the Gospel—was, and remains, directed first and foremost to those who are marginalized, oppressed, and economically disadvantaged.
Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus not only preached to the poor but lived among them. He did not reside in palaces or dine in luxury. Born in a manger (Luke 2:7) and raised in Nazareth—a town so obscure that people asked, “Can anything good come from there?” (John 1:46)—Jesus deliberately identified with the lowly and the humble. His life was a living sermon against material obsession and a model of humility and compassion.
One of the clearest examples of Jesus personally engaging with the socially disadvantaged was His visit to the home of Simon the Leper (Matthew 26:6–13). In those days, lepers were not only sick but also outcasts—often poor and excluded from society. Yet Jesus not only visited Simon’s home but allowed a woman to anoint Him there, affirming both the setting and the people within it. His presence was a deliberate confrontation of exclusion and a bold embrace of the forgotten.
In Luke 7:11–17, Jesus entered the town of Nain, where He encountered a widow whose only son had died. Widows in that time were among the most economically vulnerable. Jesus was not merely passing by; He stopped, comforted her, and raised her son from the dead. His visit was personal, compassionate, and transformative—clear proof that He not only visited the poor but restored them.
Another powerful encounter was with Bartimaeus, a blind beggar sitting by the roadside (Mark 10:46–52). When Bartimaeus cried out, people tried to silence him. But Jesus stopped, called him forward, and healed him. This moment was more than a miracle—it was a public affirmation of the dignity of the poor and marginalized.
The feeding of the five thousand (Mark 6:30–44) is another instance of Jesus’ direct ministry to the poor. Seeing the crowd hungry and tired, He did not send them away but miraculously provided bread and fish. This act was not only miraculous—it was deeply compassionate. Jesus addressed physical hunger with divine provision, reaffirming that the poor were not ignored but valued.
The story of the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25–34) offers further insight. She had spent all her money on physicians, leaving her financially and socially destitute. Yet Jesus did not turn her away when she touched His garment. He stopped, spoke kindly to her, and publicly affirmed her faith. This was an encounter that restored not only her health but her dignity and standing.
In Luke 21:1–4, Jesus commended a poor widow who gave two small copper coins at the temple. He praised her above the wealthy, saying she had given more than all the others. He didn’t just notice her—He elevated her as a model of sacrificial giving and spiritual depth.
His encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:1–42) further affirms His intentional outreach to the socially and spiritually impoverished. She was a woman of questionable reputation, drawing water alone—a sign of social isolation. Jesus visited her town, engaged her in deep theological conversation, and used her as a vessel to bring the Gospel to her community. The Good News reached the forgotten through her testimony.
Pastor David Ibiyeomie
In Matthew 11:5, Jesus reaffirmed His mission with clear evidence: “The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the Gospel is proclaimed to the poor.” Preaching to the poor was not symbolic—it was a visible and central sign of the Kingdom of God. Any doctrine that separates Christ from the poor denies His own words and works.
To suggest that Jesus “hated poverty” is to misinterpret His rejection of sin and erroneously apply it to economic status. Jesus never glorified poverty, but He never despised the poor. He warned against the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10), not wealth itself. In the Beatitudes, He declared, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3), and warned, “Woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort” (Luke 6:24). His teachings promote humility, contentment, and spiritual dependence on God—not contempt for the impoverished.
Today, what is deeply concerning is how certain strands of prosperity theology reduce the Gospel to a transaction—where material wealth is viewed as the ultimate evidence of divine favor. Yet Jesus strongly warned in Luke 12:15, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” His encounter with the rich young ruler (Matthew 19:16–22) ended in sorrow because the man could not part with his wealth. Jesus concluded, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
In conclusion, the assertion that Jesus never visited the poor—and that He detested poverty—is a grave theological error. It misrepresents the Savior who “emptied Himself” (Philippians 2:7), taking on the form of a servant. Jesus did not come to endorse poverty, but neither did He shun those who lived in it. He came to redeem all—rich and poor alike—and to lift the lowly. Any theology that ignores this truth risks replacing the Gospel of Christ with a gospel of materialism, pride, and exclusion.
That said, Pastor David Ibiyeomie is a Spirit-filled minister of the Gospel whose influence and contributions to the Body of Christ are both impactful and undeniable. Like all men of God, he is human, and from time to time, may speak outside the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. His recent statement should not be used to define his entire ministry. However, as a respected spiritual leader, he—and others in similar positions—must exercise caution when making public doctrinal declarations. Words from the pulpit carry great weight, and statements that deviate from sound biblical truth can lead to misinterpretation and confusion. This moment should serve as a gentle reminder that every utterance must align with Scripture and reflect the spirit and compassion of Christ.

The upcoming July 12, 2025 Local Government Elections in Lagos State has thrown the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, into crisis. This stems from the alleged imposition of Chairmen for Agege Local Government and Ojokoro Local Council Development Area by Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa.
At the APC Stakeholders Meeting held at Ojokoro LCDA Monday evening, aggrieved members stormed the venue in protest.
The aggrieved protesters lamented the imposition of Chairmanship Candidate in Ojokoro and Agege. The
Protesters chanted “Ole!” (thief), “We can’t take it”.
They accused Obasa of imposing a candidate from Agege on Ojokoro residents.
Other chants included ‘Who knows Sanusi?’, ‘Obasa can’t control us from Agege’, and ‘We won’t allow a stranger rule us here’.
One of the aggrieved protesters, Olusegun Akinoso-Olawaye, spoke on the disruption of the meeting, stating that the meeting was initially to ratify an imposed candidate with no ties to the Council.
He stressed that a Chairmanship aspirant must reside in Ojokoro, worked for the party, and actively participated in Council politics.
He warned that imposing an outsider with no electoral history in Ojokoro would have negative consequences.
“We are here to reject imposition. All aspirants deserve a fair contest to prove their political relevance,” Akinoso-Olawaye said.
He noted there are at least 18 aspirants for the Chairmanship, all of whom have supporters present at the protest.
Bola Ojetayo, one of the leaders of the protets lamented that party leaders often prioritise personal interests over the will of the people.
She said the protest is aimed at preventing the installation of an unfamiliar figure as the next Council Chairman.
“We must not sell our seat to outsiders. A stranger cannot come and lead us in our own home.
“Leaders can’t sit elsewhere and decide for us. Someone in Agege shouldn’t determine Ojokoro’s leadership,” Ojetayo said.
Following this development, James Owolabi, a former House of Representatives member and APC stalwart in Ojokoro, urged the protesters to remain peaceful and avoid violence.
Owolabi, who represented Ifako-Ijaiye Federal Constituency, acknowledged the concerns and affirmed their right to protest within the party.
“You have a voice in the party. Express yourselves peacefully without violence,” Owolabi advised.
Other APC leaders present included: Jelili Oseni, Ojokoro LCDA Chairman, and Ipoola Omisore, a former Lagos Assembly member.
Also in attendance were Alh. Amosu Aminu, Chief Oriyomi Olaogun, and Mr Akindele Aremu, among others.
Reactions have been trailing resolutions of the People’s Democratic Party’s Governors Forum (PDPGF) which met in Ibadan Oyo state on Monday with Samuel Anyanwu insisting that he remains the national secretary of the party.
One of the resolutions of the PDP Governors was that the Deputy National Secretary should act as National Secretary, pending the nomination and ratification of a Substantive Secretary from the South East Zone and NEC respectively at its next meeting.
However, Anyanwu rejected the resolution by the Forum to appoint an Acting National Secretary. He labeled it “unconstitutional and a direct violation of both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Constitution and a Supreme Court judgment.”
Speaking through his spokesperson, Daboikiabo Warmate, Anyanwu described the Governors’
move as a “draconian” attempt to usurp party structures, calling it a “coup détat” against the PDP.
Warmate noted that the PDP Constitution, specifically in sections 45, 47, 49, 57, and 59 said the appointment, election, replacement, or removal of a national officer must follow due process.
He maintained that Senator Anyanwu has neither resigned nor vacated the office of National Secretary, making the appointment of an acting secretary baseless.
“Only the National Convention holds the authority to appoint or remove national officers, Anyanwu remains the legitimate National Secretary until December 2025.”
Warmate warned of dire consequences if the resolution is not immediately reversed, accusing the governors of acting beyond their constitutional powers and stirring internal party conflict, particularly one linked to alleged personal rifts with the FCT Minister.
He emphasized that only a national convention—not the governors’ forum—has the authority to appoint or remove national officers, slamming the move as illegal and a dangerous precedent for the party’s integrity.
Anyanwu called for calm and urged the governors to adhere to due process, warning that failure to reverse their decision could severely damage the PDP’s credibility and unity.

The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the 19 northern states of Nigeria, Yakubu Pam, has called for peace among the residents of the state.
Pam’s admonition comes on the heels of the spate of killings in the state since the beginning of the year. The killings have been blamed on suspected Fulani herdsmen.
The magazine reports that no fewer than 100 persons have been killed in the renewed attacks, which started two weeks ago in Bosso Local Government Area, LGA after the attackers killed more than 50 persons and razed dozens of homes.
The killings however continued on Tuesday after the yet to be identified gunmen killed over 40 persons when they invaded Kimakpa village in Miango district of Bassa LGA.
Not a few Nigerians, including the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the LP Presidential candidate, Peter Obi amongst others have sued for peaceful coexistence among residents of the state.
According to a statement signed by the CAN chairman on Tuesday, the religious body said it’s sad over the turn of event in the state, calling on the state and federal government to quickly arrest the situation so that more innocent lives will not be lost.
Pam who described the attacks as senseless said he’s deeply concerned that the lives of innocent persons have been taken during the ’barbaric attacks’ urging security agencies to promptly arrest the perpetrators of the dastardly act.
He also called traditional rulers, religious leaders, security operatives, and community-based organisations, to work with security agencies with the aim of nipping in the bud the age-long violence on the Plateau.
He said, “We are deeply saddened and outraged by the senseless and barbaric attacks that have claimed the lives of innocent and peace-loving citizens.
“These repeated acts of violence are not only a violation of human dignity and the sanctity of life, but they are also a direct threat to the peace and unity of our state and the nation at large.
“We also urge the government at all levels to take proactive steps to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further loss of lives.”
Recall that the 2023 LP Presidential candidate had while paying a condolence visits to the state on Sunday donated N7.5 million to the victims of the attacks.
Investors in the CBEX Ponzi Scheme are counting their loses. The Scheme has crashed, leading to outcry by a large number of Nigerians who invested in the Scheme.
It crashed on Monday, carting away over N1 Trillion owned by investors.
Nigerians who were part of the scheme, before it crashed on Monday, built offices across the country with one in Lagos which was launched only last week.
The offices, as reported, were the meeting points of top investors on the platform who have well over $10,000 and several downlines.
These were the set of people expressing confidence in the platform, inviting people to join while preaching that it’s a scheme that would take them out of poverty.
In expression of frustration, residents of Ibadan, Oyo State stormed the office of the scheme and carted some appliances including Televisions, Air conditioners, furniture, to mention but a few.
Just like a typical ponzi scheme, to register at CBEX, one would need to pay a minimum of $100 and download the scheme’s application.
The application was not hosted on any known platforms like google play store or apple store but a self hosted website that show several signs of insecurity.
After the app has been downloaded, one would also need to download Bybit, an exchange platform where you received your money and exchange it for your local currency.
After payment has been made, all you need to do when you wake up everyday is to turn on your ‘hosting’. This, according to the platform, is to enable the AI trade for you using two signals daily. People were also encouraged to deposit at least $300 to get good returns of about $5 daily, while it increases as your balance grows. When it gets to $400, you will start receiving $7 daily and when it gets to about $500, you will start receiving $10 daily.
Although, as typical of a ponzi scheme, those who started early made over 100% of their investments at different times, but several people lost money because they had not gotten to the stage of withdrawal, which is always 35 or 40 days after your deposit.
Many Nigerians invested in this business, smiling to the Bank, just as the era of the crashed MMM Ponzi Scheme.
Prior to the crash that has made several Nigerians indebted with many falling into depression, on April 5, CBEX announced across its telegram platforms that there will be free bonus for investors between 9th of April to 14th of April. Many were more concerned about the bonuses but little did they know that withdrawals would be paused. However, after getting bonuses as high as $100, attempts to withdraw was paused on April 9 with a promise that it would be opened on April 15.
Until noon of April 14, the platform assured investors that withdrawal would be made available in the next few hours, till investors suddenly discovered that all their earnings had disappeared, indicating the ultimate crash of CBEX.
The platform, as typical of a ponzi scheme, have locked its telegram platforms and explained that there was a hack attempt that brought a surge in the trading system, making the AI to trade with all investors’ funds, leading to a loss.
However, the platform further encouraged investors to deposit $100 for those that have less than $1,000, and $200 for those that have more than $1,000 to reclaim their funds.
At least two persons, including a 9 month old baby were on Monday April 14,2025 confirmed dead in a ghastly road accident at the Uduma Junction Uburu community, Ohaozara Local Council of Ebonyi state on Sunday April 13, 2025.
No fewer than 23 others were also said to have sustained varying degrees of injuries in the accident that involved a bus carrying about 25 persons tumbling several times at a sharp corner.
Eye witness accounts informed that the bus lost control while negotiating a sharp corner.
According to the witnesses, the driver was on high speed, making it difficult for him to control the vehicle while negotiating the sharp corner.
The development was said to have resulted in the bus summersaulting several timehe injured said to have been rushed to the Dave Umahi Federal University Teaching Hospital DUFUTH for medical attention.
A statement on Monday from the spokesperson for DUFUTH, Agwu Nwogo, noted that majority of the victims are Ebonyi state citizens who were heading back to their stations after attending a burial ceremony in Okporike Abakaliki, the State capital.
According to him, the injured were brought to the DUFUTH immediately after the accident.
Nwogo stated that two persons were confirmed dead on arrival at the facility, while 23 injured individuals with serious injuries were taken to the emergency unit .
He listed the nature of the various injuries sustained to include crushed hands, fractures, lacerations, and severe traumatic brain injuries.
However, currently 18 of the victims he noted are receiving treatment at the Accident and Emergency Unit Surgery ward and intensive care Unit.
“Four patients with minor injuries were stabilized and discharged after receiving treatment”, the DUFUTH spokesperson added.
Unfortunately, among the severely injured victims ,currently receiving treatment is an 11 month old ,who is said to be battling with traumatic brain injury, and in a very critical condition.
Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, have re-emphasised their support for their suspended colleague, Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.
In a communique issued at the end of their meeting on Monday held in Ibadan, Oyo State, the PDP Governors’ Forum said it “restates its solidarity with His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara on the ordeal into which his State and people are being plunged by the declaration of a State of Emergency.” The Governors reiterated their commitment to Fubara’s cause.
The Forum also decried the worsening spate of insecurity in the country among other serious issues confronting the Country.
On the never-ending controversy over who really is the National Secretary of the PDP, the Forum resolved that the Deputy National Secretary acts as its National Secretary “pending the nomination and ratification of a substantive Secretary from the South-east Zone.”
Following is the full text of the communique.
COMMUNIQUE ISSUED BY PDP GOVERNORS’ FORUM AFTER ITS 2025/4TH MEETING HELD IN IBADAN ON MONDAY, APRIL 14, 2025
The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDPGF) held its 2025/4th Meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State, and resolved the following:
Noting the nationwide speculations about possible merger of political parties, groups and/or associations, the Forum resolved that the PDP will not join any coalition or merger. However, the PDP as a major opposition party welcomes any party, persons or groups that are willing to join it with a view to wrestling power and enthroning good leadership in 2027.
The Forum reiterates its position taken in Asaba on the issue of the National Secretary of the party, but in the wake of the Supreme Court judgment, Forum resolved to recommend that the Deputy National Secretary acts as National Secretary, pending the nomination and ratification of a Substantive Secretary from the South East Zone and NEC respectively at its next meeting.
The Forum reasserts our collective determination to avert a rape of our constitutional democracy hence the decision of approaching the Supreme Court to give a clear cut verdict on the interpretation of the provisions of the law on the declaration of State of Emergency in any state.
The Forum restates its solidarity with His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, on the ordeal into which his state and people are being plunged by the declaration of a state of emergency. And we reiterate our commitment to stand with him till the end.
The Forum finds alarming the worsening security situation in the country, as evidenced in parts of the country especially Borno, Plateau, Katsina and Edo States. The Forum calls for review and reordering of priorities and strategies including adopting a bottom up template that guarantees the sub-nationals to constitute an effective line of defence against security breaches. While raising the concerns above, we condemn the recent attacks in Plateau State, and commiserate with the government and people of the state especially those who lost their lives and properties during this unfortunate mishap.
The Forum resolves that working in conjunction with the National Working Committee (NWC) and other relevant organs of the party, to hold a NEC Meeting on the 27th of May, 2025; constitute a Zoning Committee that will address all issues relating to zoning of party offices and hold an early convention in August 2025, precisely on the 28th, 29th and 30th in the ancient city of Kano.
The Forum equally recommends the constitution of the Zoning and National Convention Committees for ratification by the NWC and NEC as follows.
Zoning Committee: Gov. Douye Diri – Chairman; Gov. Dauda Lawal – Vice Chairman and Gov. Caleb Mutfwang – Secretary, while the National Convention Committee has Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri as Chairman; Gov. Ademola Adeleke as Vice Chairman and Gov. Peter Mbah as Secretary.
The Forum expressed its gratitude to the host Governor, His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde, the government and good people of Oyo state for their hospitality.
