MISSING CHILD IN AWKA
The parents of Success Ezenwafor, a pupil of UNIZIK Primary School, Awka, have appealed to the public for help in locating their child after he was reportedly swept away by floodwaters along the Awka–Nibo–Nise–Enugwu-Ukwu Ring Road on Monday morning.
According to reports, Success was travelling in a shuttle bus with other schoolchildren when the incident occurred. Search efforts are ongoing, while his family is urging anyone with useful information to contact the nearest police station or emergency authorities.
WHY IS THE WORLD SILENT ABOUT THE SUFFERING OF OUR CHILDREN
I ask this question today with tears in my heart as a father, as a pastor, and as a voice crying out for the persecuted Christians of Nigeria
Success is only six years old
Just six years
At an age when this little girl should be running around with her friends, going to school, laughing with her mother and dreaming about her future, she is instead carrying wounds and memories that no child should ever have to carry
When armed militants attacked her Christian community in Kaduna, Nigeria, nine people were reportedly killed
As Success and her mother ran for their lives, trying desperately to escape the gunfire, this innocent little girl was shot twice
Once in the back
And once in the foot
Can you imagine the pain
Can you imagine the fear in the heart of a six year old child hearing gunshots while running for her life
Can you imagine a mother watching her little daughter being wounded while knowing there was nothing she could do to stop the bullets
Her injuries were so severe that doctors had to remove part of her ankle bone during emergency surgery
Today, Success is still fighting to recover
She needs reconstructive ankle surgery and a skin graft to have the best chance of walking normally again
My heart breaks when I look at this child
I keep asking myself
Why should a six year old child have to suffer like this
Why should she know the meaning of gunshots before she even understands the meaning of life
Why should children be paying the price for violence they did not create
Why is the world silent
Why are the tears of Nigerian children not receiving the attention they deserve
How many more children must be wounded
How many more children must become orphans
How many more families must bury their loved ones
How many more innocent lives must be destroyed before the world says enough is enough
The Bible says in Proverbs 31:8
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute
Today I am speaking for Success
I am speaking for the children who cannot speak for themselves
I am speaking for mothers who have watched their children suffer
I am speaking for families who have buried their loved ones in silence
And I am asking the world not to look away
Jesus said in Matthew 19:14
Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven
Look at Success
She is somebody's daughter
She is somebody's precious child
She has dreams
She has a future
She has a life worth protecting
She did not choose violence
She did not choose this suffering
She only tried to survive
Now she needs help to walk again
As Rev Ezekiel Dachomo, I appeal to the conscience of humanity
Please do not allow the suffering of these children to become another forgotten story
Let us pray for Success
Let us pray for her mother
Let us pray for every wounded child
Let us pray for the families who have lost loved ones
And let us pray for Nigeria
Because when a six year old child suffers like this, humanity itself must stop and ask
What have we become
May the Lord heal Success
May God restore her strength
May God provide the treatment she needs
And may the day come when this little girl can walk, run and play again without pain
How long, O Lord
How long will innocent children continue to suffer
How long before the world hears their cries

There are no traces, no ID card, nothing to identify him.
Kindly share this post for his identification.
Maybe someone might recognize him or know his family.
Please share. Thank you.🙏

A woman has just given birth.
Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding.
This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is.
That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts.
So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started.
It should be there.
As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you’re pregnant and preparing for delivery.
Ask questions. Know what is available.
Prepare before the emergency comes.
RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message.

BREAKING: Gunmen have kidnapped 15 corps members returning from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
Permanent Orientation Camp in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State on Wednesday.
Hello everyone, please, I urgently need your help and attention. My sister and other NYSC corps members who left Bayelsa State yesterday were attacked along the Kogi Express Road. Sadly, the driver was killed, and the corps members were reportedly taken into the forest.
Up until now, we have not heard from them, and the family is deeply worried and devastated. We have contacted the police, but unfortunately, we have not received any positive feedback yet.
Please, I am appealing to the NYSC, the Federal Government, security agencies, and everyone who can help to urgently intervene and do everything possible to rescue them safely.
Please, we don’t want anything to happen to our loved ones. . They are someone’s children, siblings and loved ones. Their lives matter.
Please help us amplify this message and tag the relevant authorities. We are begging for urgent action before it is too late.

SOS!
Corps members were kidnapped on their way from Bayelsa Camp to Abuja. @officialnyscng NYSC Bayelsa Camp has been silent about it.
OUR CHILDREN NEED URGENT HELP !!!
Please lend your voice, kindly retweet. 🙏
Fr. Emmanuel Ezema of the Catholic Diocese of Zaria, Nigeria was kidnapped on December 2, 2025. Today, August 26, 2026, marks 267 days since he was taken and he remains in captivity.
267 days is far too long. We cannot allow his captivity to become another forgotten story. The Nigerian government must intensify every effort to secure his safe release and bring him home. Our priests and citizens deserve to live and serve without fear.
MY ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS
21 August 2026
Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.
I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.
I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.
Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.
According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.
These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.
Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.
LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS
My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.
In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.
As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.
Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS
Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:
Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?
There is a clear difference between the two images.
The first image is a veneration of the relic of a saint.
The second image is worship.
The two are not the same, they're not even similar.
The first image is what is expected of Christians to do.
The second image is what we should stay away from.
Veneration is not worship.
For the sake of Catholics on X who are not really educated about the Catholic teaching on relics - especially the remains, bones, and skulls of saints preserved by the Church - I’m making this post to explain the things we see online.
I created an AI Smart Glass to help blind people walk without a cane or a guide 👓
But this is not like the smart glasses people are used to seeing
Because this Glass combines AI, sensors, and GPS to help the user detect things in front of them, avoid obstacles, and know their location
But the most amazing thing is if the user gets lost, the GPS tracking system can help locate where they are from anywhere, and then send the location to the phone of the person taking care of them via WhatsApp or Email 📲
And now I am further developing it to a new level of AI + Voice, so it can speak with the user and also help them understand their surroundings
I have put the video showing how it works completely in the comment. 🎥

Let the world see what a young Nigerian can build
Following their civil wedding ceremony in Cascais, football star Cristiano Ronaldo, who is Catholic, and his wife Georgina Rodríguez visited the world-renowned Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal along with their family.
Amid widespread online speculation and rumors suggesting a potential conversion to Islam during his time playing in Saudi Arabia, the couple made a quiet, deeply personal visit to the Catholic holy site.
While at the shrine, Ronaldo and Georgina received a blessing from a local priest. Afterward, the family attended Holy Mass held behind closed doors inside the Chapel of Nossa Senhora das Dores (Our Lady of Sorrows).
