His eyes have seen unspeakable bloodshed. His feet have grown weary from funeral after funeral — burying his own church members slaughtered by Fulani jihadists seizing ancestral lands and imposing mini-caliphates in villages south of Jos.
But Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo will not break. In the heart of Plateau State, central Nigeria, he stays to encourage the living and keep the faith alive.

🚨 Without a doubt, this is one of the biggest football stories of all time. What an unbelievable scoop from @David_Ornstein. 🤯👏
If you didn’t know it already, you certainly do now… Ornstein is the GOAT. 🐐
I genuinely think Man City will be kicked out of the Premier League if the reported 114 guilty findings stand after appeal. Because if they’re allowed to carry on with a punishment they can shrug off, how can anyone trust the integrity of the competition?
Everton lost 8 points across two admitted PSR breaches. City’s case covers alleged breaches over years, on a completely different scale, including charges that they failed to cooperate with the investigation. The case has dragged on for years while City carried on competing and spending. How could a fine or a points deduction they comfortably survive be enough?
I think United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other clubs would be furious. They’d want to know why they had to follow the rules and compete against City all those years, only for the eventual punishment to change virtually nothing or something that only sets them back a season. Their fans would be asking the same question.
The Premier League would then have to defend the fairness of its own competition to its biggest clubs and millions of their supporters. I don’t think it would want that. Letting City off lightly could do more damage to the league than kicking them out.
🚨 | BREAKING:
Man City have been found guilty on virtually ALL charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations. [@David_Ornstein]
ℹ️ #mufc have finished 2nd to them twice in the last decade, under Jose Mourinho & Ole Gunnar Solskjær…
🚨🗣 Sir Alex Ferguson on what will do if Manchester city is strip off of the premier league trophies:
"If they announce that Ole Gunnar Solskjær won the league, I will travel to where he is staying now, bring him back and fix a day to celebrate him with the trophy at old Trafford"
"He did everything he could, he gave his best to this club"
🚨 Now that Manchester City have been found GUILTY of all but one of the 115 Premier League charges, does this settle the GOAT manager debate for you? 👀
Does Sir Alex Ferguson now stand above Pep Guardiola in the all-time rankings? 🐐🏆
Jose Mourinho will be watching developments closely as BBC Sport understands Man City have been found guilty of the majority of the 115 financial breaches levelled against them.
🚨 PETER SCHMEICHEL on Manchester City been found guilty of all 155 charges against them.
🎙️REPORTER: Peter, Manchester City have now been found guilty of the 115 charges. What punishment do you believe they deserve?
🗣️PETER SCHMEICHEL: This is bigger than Manchester City. 115 guilty charges is not something football can simply brush under the carpet.
They should be relegated. And honestly, I wouldn’t stop there.
Every Premier League title that is proven to have been won during the period affected by these breaches should be taken away. Those titles should be removed from Manchester City’s history and reassigned according to the rules.
And let me say something that Manchester City fans won’t want to hear: you cannot call yourself the greatest Premier League side of your era if the achievements that built that reputation have been officially tainted by 115 guilty findings.
The trophies may still be in their cabinet today, but history can change.
🎙️REPORTER: So you don’t believe a fine would be enough?
🗣️PETER SCHMEICHEL: A fine? After 115 guilty charges? No.
If the offences are serious enough to undermine the integrity of the competition, then the punishment must be serious enough to protect the integrity of the competition.
Manchester City cannot be bigger than the Premier League. Nobody is.
Pep Guardiola has every right to feel betrayed by those he trusted. He deserves better - but this verdict means all of his Man City trophies will now forever be tarnished, writes JACK GAUGHAN https://t.co/DwLJ6MbORq
“It is not the duty of Governor Soludo or other governors to tell people who to vote for. They only have one vote. Elections are not rocket science; they can be conducted freely and fairly.
As far as I’m concerned, the elections we have had so far in Nigeria have not been serious. INEC Chairman, Joash Amupitan, came and said he would surprise us. When we bishops visited President Tinubu, we reminded him that the political space was shaking and that free and fair elections were being threatened.”

“Igbo billionaires are mostly good at remembering their land when it’s time for b¥rial. When it’s time for meaningful development, they remember Lagos or Abuja” — Pastor Odumeje
“….tinubu who was not in power that ran, snatched and grabbed it in 2023 already has the result of the 2027 election written.
Wike, the most violent election rigger today, whose personal aid has been elected a resident electoral commissioner since tinubu came to power; how can you talk about a free and fair election in 2027?
Without consequential amendment of the electoral act and our judicial system, the same madness that took place in 2023 will repeat itself in 2027….”

Supreme Court delivered two rulings:
1. Anyone who participated in more than one party primary election is disqualified.
2. Anyone whose name was not in a party’s register as of May 2026 is not a member.
With this verdict, O.K Chinda Wike's APC candidate is null and void.
