Lord God, You promised to cover me with Your feathers and hide me under Your mighty wings . I take refuge in You right now; shield me, protect me, and wrap me in Your unshakeable faithfulness. Be my rampart, my strong wall against every fear, danger, and uncertainty. Thank You for being my safe place, my refuge in every storm. In Jesus' name, Amen.

It's tough to fairly look at the victims of these killings in Nigeria, since Islamist terrorists and bandits are mostly behind them. Sure, Muslims get killed too, but often by folks who share their same faith and beliefs, which makes you wonder what's really going on. Christians seem to be the main targets, so it's right to call out the unfairness and push for answers.
What makes it worse is how Muslim leaders stay silent, like they're trying to cover up the story of the violence around them – and that quiet can seem pretty suspicious, maybe even like they're okay with it or involved. On the other hand, Christian leaders always speak up loud, naming the people behind the attacks on Christians and demanding justice. In the end, it's the poor folks and all humanity who suffer the most, and we need everyone to stand together against it.

The recent trend in Jos, particularly the growing cases of business scams, cheating and fraud, says a lot about the kind of society and population we are gradually becoming on the Plateau. One cannot help but wonder how eager we are to call out irresponsible politicians while some of us, as citizens and followers, exhibit the same irresponsibility in our everyday dealings.
I am not suggesting that everyone is irresponsible, just as we cannot reasonably conclude that all politicians are bad. However, the same standard of fairness and judgment we apply to public office holders must also apply to us as citizens. We cannot consistently demand accountability from those in government while refusing to practise it in our personal and business relationships.
Our tendency to resort to social media rants, insults and public tantrums whenever disagreements or wrongdoing occur raises serious questions about our understanding of accountability. This culture is not very different from how we respond to political corruption and the embezzlement of public funds. We make noise online, express outrage, throw accusations around and eventually move on without taking concrete steps to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
We have gradually embraced internet outrage over lawful and constructive action. Rather than explore the available legal channels to resolve disputes, seek justice and demand accountability, many of us would rather take our grievances to social media, where public recognition, likes and followers sometimes become more important than finding genuine solutions.
Yes, our legal system has its shortcomings, and there are legitimate concerns about the effectiveness of law enforcement and the administration of justice. However, that does not make the law irrelevant or render it entirely ineffective. The question is: how many of us are willing to approach the appropriate institutions, even over ordinary civil disputes, contractual disagreements and business transactions? How many are prepared to follow due process rather than resort to public condemnation?
Our politicians often get away with wrongdoing not necessarily because there are no laws to hold them accountable, but also because we have failed to cultivate a strong culture of accountability as a people. A society that tolerates dishonesty in everyday transactions, celebrates public humiliation over lawful resolution and excuses personal misconduct cannot suddenly produce a political leadership that is fundamentally different from its people.
We must therefore begin with ourselves. Before demanding responsible leadership, we must demonstrate responsibility in our personal dealings. Before insisting on the rule of law in government, we must learn to respect and patronise the same legal institutions in our daily lives.
The responsibility of building a better society does not rest on politicians alone. It begins with citizens. When accountability becomes part of our everyday conduct, it will gradually reflect in our institutions, our politics and the quality of leadership we produce. We cannot build a responsible nation with an irresponsible citizenry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CDR YILCHINI JAN BIDA!
Today, I celebrate not just a political leader, but a man whose kindness, generosity and humanity have left lasting impressions on the lives of many.
You are a man I believe in, not merely because of your political aspirations, but because of the values you represent. Your philanthropy speaks volumes, particularly the quiet acts of kindness you extend to people without seeking publicity, applause or public recognition. At a time when many consider philanthropy a political instrument for public praise, you have demonstrated that genuine kindness does not always need an audience.
I believe Plateau State deserves leaders whose interests go beyond political offices, whose hearts are connected to the struggles of ordinary people, and whose aspirations are rooted in the genuine growth and development of our dear state. These are qualities I have come to associate with you.
Politics may have denied you the opportunity to occupy the highest office in Plateau State, but it cannot erase the impact of your humanity or diminish the place you have earned in the hearts of those whose lives you have touched.
Cdr Yilchini Jan Bida, the governor who never was, and a man many of us wish had been.
On this special day, I pray that God grants you long life, sound health, greater wisdom and renewed strength. May the years ahead bring you greater opportunities to serve humanity and contribute meaningfully to the development of Plateau State.
May your kindness continue to speak for you, even in rooms where your name is never mentioned.
Happy Birthday, Sir. You remain a man I believe in.

It seems you’re ready to take the law into your own hands. APC supporters are Nigerians, too, and it's their choice to vote for whoever they want, just as it’s your choice to make sure you protect your candidate’s votes and what you believe is best. And don't forget, you’re not the only one with a monopoly on violence.
Dem don dey rush to paint abandoned Zaria Road stadium, fix seats ahead of Tinubu’s campaign visit
Shame kawai same stadium that Mutfwang lied he was going to fix in his first 1year in office

BREAKING: Senate proposes six-month jail term, ₦300,000 fine for hospitals that reject emergency patients.
The Nigerian Senate is considering an amendment to the National Health Act 2014 seeking to punish hospitals and healthcare workers who refuse or delay emergency medical treatment.
Under the proposed bill, hospitals would be required to assess emergency patients within 15 minutes of arrival and commence initial stabilisation within 30 minutes.
Facilities found guilty of violating the proposed provisions could face a fine of up to ₦300,000, six months' imprisonment, or both.
The bill, sponsored by Senator Abdulaziz Yar’Adua, has passed second reading and been referred to the Senate Committee on Health for further legislative consideration.
The proposed amendment is aimed at preventing avoidable deaths caused by hospitals refusing patients over advance payments, police reports and other administrative delays.
The bill is not yet law.

Is destroying opposition billboard something new in the Mutfwang camp? Kefiano is certainly not the first victim. Yilchini Jan Bida suffered the same fate when he contested against Mutfwang in the APC primaries, an election that, ironically, never even took place.
So, dear Hart Bankat, find a better excuse than hiding behind hypocrisy, bitterness and political vendetta.
We all know that Mutfwang cannot confidently campaign on the strength of his achievements in his first tenure. Rather than present a convincing record of performance, his camp appears more interested in intimidating and frustrating opposition voices, even within its own political fold.
As you rightly said, “Plateau belongs to all of us.” If that statement truly means what it says, then let Mutfwang campaign with his achievements, while the opposition campaigns with its ideas, policies and promises.
Democracy is about competing with ideas, not destroying the platforms of those who dare to disagree. Plateau people deserve better than intimidation, hypocrisy and politics of vendetta.

When a Governor Fails and you give him a second term you automatically make failure a government policy in that state!!
