From Islam to Catholic Priesthood: The Inspiring Story of Fr. Idris Moses Gwanube

Fr. Idris Moses Gwanube (also known as Fr. Moses Idris), a Nigerian from a staunch Muslim family in Mararraba (Maraba), Taraba State, Northeast Nigeria, converted to Catholicism as a teenager.

Born into a polygamous Muslim family (his father is a Muslim cleric), he worked as a bread hawker near a Catholic church. At around age 14 (starting in December 2004), he began attending church services, fell in love with the liturgy and hymns, and became a catechumen.

His conversion came at a heavy personal cost:
- He was repeatedly beaten by his older brothers each time he returned from church.
- He faced rejection from family and friends.
- He was expelled from home.
- His former Muslim community issued threats and even an arrest warrant against him.

Despite the persecution, Fr. Gwanube persevered. He entered the seminary, studied philosophy and theology at St. Augustine’s Major Seminary in Jos, served a pastoral year, and was ordained a deacon on July 18, 2021.

On February 25, 2022, he was ordained a Catholic priest by Bishop Charles Michael Hammawa at Our Lady Queen of Peace Cathedral in Jalingo, Taraba State, alongside five others. His Muslim parents attended the ceremony — a powerful sign of reconciliation.

He later served as Assistant Parish Priest at Holy Family Catholic Parish in Takum, Jalingo Diocese. His journey is a powerful testimony of faith, resilience, and God’s providence amid religious tensions in Nigeria.

@Vitus_osst I request for Divine Favours and Open doors in all areas of my life.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

Celebrating Global Excellence in Our Youth.

I am immensely proud to see the official tweet from former U.S. President @BarackObama , celebrating the incredible brilliance of our own Njideka @AkunyiliCrosby . Her exceptional talent has brought our shared history to the global stage through the unveiling of the first joint portrait of President Obama and former First Lady @MichelleObama .

This monumental achievement is a powerful reminder to Nigerian youths of what is possible when talent is met with hard work and discipline. Njideka, who is also the daughter of our late Dr Chike and Prof. Dora Akunyili, embodies the very best of the excellent Nigerian spirit.

As the great philosopher Aristotle rightly noted, excellence is not an accident; it is a habit, the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution. Njideka's global success proves that true greatness comes from this consistent, daily dedication to one's craft.

I urge our young people to look up to
individuals like her as true role models. Success is not found in shortcuts, but in the relentless pursuit of excellence, honouring one's roots, and using your gifts to make a global impact. If we remain committed to merit and hard work, the new Nigeria we desire will be built by such exemplary minds.

With focused and hard-working youths, a new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

What June 12 Should Mean to Us Nigerians

Today, we observe a day that should mean a great deal to us as a people who cherish democratic principles. Every year on June 12, the conversation inevitably turns to a critical assessment of the state of our nation. It serves as an annual benchmark for asking important questions: Are our elections today as transparent as they were in 1993? Is the social contract being honoured? Are the institutions of governance truly serving the people?

Ultimately, June 12 is a powerful blend of reflection and aspiration. It honours a fractured past while serving as a constant and foundational reminder of the immense power inherent in the collective democratic will of the Nigerian people.

For us in Nigeria, June 12 is not merely a date on the calendar; it is the emotional and structural bedrock of our modern democratic identity. Officially recognised as Democracy Day, June 12 carries deep historical, political, and social significance, representing both a monumental tragedy and the ultimate triumph of the collective will of the people.

To understand what June 12 means to Nigeria, one must examine its history, its evolution, and its enduring symbolism.

A new era of true democracy is POssible. -PO

HAPPENING NOW: Happening now at Enyiukwu autonomous community in Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia Abia State.

Fulani herdsmen entered into Mr Chinedu Nwoko's farm with their cows and destroyed all his crops.

The Fulani people left their cows and fled before the community could get hold of them.

Africa is full of surpsises

Ugandan police arrested a man for witchcraft, took him to court, and he responded by inviting bees to the court.

Everyone was attacked by the bees. He didn’t get a single sting.

Interesting to see a man running around with a fire 🔥 extinguisher.

Earth is hard , best such guys are left in peace.

@CubanaObi66102 Hi

[Mike Bales 🫡🇺🇸 @MikeBales]

An old farmer writes to his son in prison, “Dear son, this year I won’t be able to plant potatoes because I can’t dig the field by myself. I know if you were here you would help me.”

The son writes back, “Dad, don’t even think of digging the field because that’s where I buried the money I stole.”

The police read the letter and the next day the whole field was dug by the police looking for the money, but nothing was found.

The following day the son wrote again, “Now plant your potatoes, Dad… it’s the best I can do from here.”

"The condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, informed my decision to leave ADC for NDC."

Yesterday, I formally joined the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), alongside my dear brother, Engr. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, with one clear purpose: to continue the struggle for a new Nigeria built on justice, competence, accountability, and compassion for the ordinary Nigerian.

As I stated yesterday, this decision was not made out of anger, personal ambition, or convenience. It came after deep reflection on the present condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria from the dangerous path it is currently heading.

Over the years, I have remained steadfast in my conviction that politics should never be about individuals, positions, or personal gain. It must be about the people, especially the millions of Nigerians who today can no longer afford necessities, whose businesses are collapsing, whose children are losing hope, and whose future is becoming increasingly uncertain.

I left the ADC for the same reason I left the Labour Party: the severe, orchestrated litigation and internal crises deliberately designed to ensure that I, alongside many other notable individuals, do not effectively participate in the electoral process. I sincerely appreciate and remain deeply grateful to the Leadership of ADC for the opportunity to work together in pursuit of a better Nigeria. I am particularly grateful to ADC Chairman Senator David Mark for his exceptional Leadership. I also deeply appreciate my Leader and elder brother YE, Atiku Abubakar, as well as other respected leaders within the party.

As we join the NDC, I sincerely appeal to the Nigerian Government against the encouragement of unresolved litigations and the infusion of crises within political parties. Democracy must never become a weapon against the people. A healthy democracy thrives on strong institutions, credible alternatives, and the freedom of citizens to make choices without intimidation, manipulation, or fear. Opposition parties must not be weakened or destroyed, because when democracy loses balance, the people ultimately suffer.

Nigeria today is passing through one of the most difficult periods in its history. Poverty is rising. Hunger is widespread. Insecurity continues to threaten lives and livelihoods. Businesses are shutting down daily. Our young people are becoming discouraged, and many citizens have lost faith in the system. At a time like this, leadership must be driven not by propaganda or division, but by competence, capacity, character, and compassion.

Our decision to join the NDC is therefore not an abandonment of values, but a continuation of the same mission we have always stood for: building a Nigeria where leadership is about service, where public resources are managed responsibly, where institutions function independently, and where every Nigerian, regardless of tribe, religion, region, or social status, can live with dignity, security, and hope.

I remain committed to working with all Nigerians of goodwill across political, ethnic, and religious lines. The task before us is bigger than any individual or political party. It is about the future of our children and the survival of our dear nation.

I thank Nigerians, especially our youths and women, for remaining peaceful, resilient, and hopeful despite the enormous challenges confronting the country. I urge you not to lose faith in Nigeria. Nations do not change because people surrender to hopelessness; they change because people continue to believe, continue to sacrifice, and continue to stand for what is right.

A new Nigeria is still POssible. -PO
