A human wrote the Bible, but God is inside you.
He provides you with the conscience to guide you.
Every now and then, a miracle to remind you that something that's beyond this life designed you.
Time brings wisdom, wisdom brings understanding.
One day you'll understand God's meticulous planning.
See, handing you the answer eliminates the quest.
And when there's no quest, then it's nothing left.
See, some of us are blessed with the visions that can see, to talk to the snakes, the slither in the trees.
What you got to believe that there's a real heaven?
You ain't got to believe in a preacher or reverend.
It's deeper, my brother.
God is for real.
God take the illest man.
God makes him heal.
God makes you feel his presence on the navel.
You see, your enemy is the devil.
He's going to try to lie to you.
He's the one providing you with everything that seem.
God is the little boy, voice that's deep within.
God tells you wrong.
God tells you right.
Tells you to surrender.
Tells you when to fight.
See, life is a test that most won't pass.
It's discipline and faith.
The most don't have, I know they're going to laugh, but they're going to cry later.
They're going to live it up, but they're going to die later.
You got to find purpose.
See, the earth is way more than what we see on the surface.
Life is temporary.
Real life is eternal.
Thank you.

8 cows killed, 74 stolen as suspected Mwaghavul militia attack herders in Mangu, says victims
At least eight cows were reportedly killed, 17 others and two sheep injured, while 74 cattle were allegedly stolen during an attack by suspected armed Mwaghavul militia and their accomplices at Lamor, Lawet, in Pushit District of Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, according to victims
The incident reportedly occurred at about 8 p.m. on Sept. 27, 2026, according to information provided to Zagazola Makama.
Victims of the attack said the attackers, who were reportedly heavily armed, targeted livestock belonging to herders in the area before fleeing with the stolen cattle.
The incident has raised fresh concerns among residents and livestock owners in the area, particularly because it reportedly occurred about two weeks after another attack in which three herders were allegedly killed and about 50 cattle stolen.
The latest incident, if confirmed, would represent another serious escalation in attacks involving livestock and rural communities in Mangu, where recurring violence has continued to deepen mistrust between communities.
The Federal Government, Plateau State Government, Mangu Local Government Council and security agencies are urged to urgently investigate the reported attack, establish those responsible and take appropriate action in accordance with the law.
Security agencies should also strengthen surveillance and patrols around vulnerable settlements and livestock routes in the affected areas to prevent further attacks, cattle rustling and possible retaliatory violence.
The priority, however, should remain the protection of civilians, recovery of stolen livestock and prevention of another cycle of reprisal attacks that could further endanger both communities.
Residents and community leaders are equally urged to provide credible information to security agencies and avoid actions capable of escalating the situation.
Troops foil kidnapping attempts, rescue 10 victims in Zamfara
By: Zagazola Makama
Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have foiled two separate kidnapping attempts and rescued 10 victims during ongoing clearance operations aimed at disrupting bandit activities and restoring security in parts of Zamfara State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the operations were conducted on Sept. 27, 2026, along the Tsafe–Funtua Road and at Kade Daba village in Kanoma District of Maru Local Government Area.
In the first incident, troops deployed along the Tsafe–Funtua Road responded to reports of gunfire around the Kwanoni axis in Tsafe LGA.
The troops moved swiftly towards the area and encountered armed bandits, who engaged them in a brief exchange of fire before being overwhelmed by the troops’ superior firepower.
The bandits subsequently abandoned their operation and fled into the surrounding terrain.
Before the arrival of the troops, the assailants had set fire to a commercial vehicle. The occupants were, however, successfully evacuated, while troops secured the vehicle and prevented further damage.
Six persons in another vehicle that reportedly lost control during the attack were also safely rescued by the troops.
The troops subsequently secured the highway and cleared the affected section to facilitate the safe movement of motorists.
In a separate intelligence-driven operation, troops responded to information about an abduction at Kade Daba village in Kanoma District, Maru LGA.
The troops immediately deployed to the area and engaged the kidnappers, forcing them to abandon their captives and flee.
Three victims were rescued at the scene, while a follow-up search operation in the surrounding area led to the recovery of one additional victim.
This brought the total number of victims rescued during the second operation to four.
In all, 10 persons were rescued from the two separate kidnapping attempts.
The rescued victims are currently receiving necessary care and assessment before being reunited with their families.
The operations underscore the continued efforts by troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA to maintain pressure on armed groups operating along major highways and rural communities in the North-West, while improving the safety of civilians and road users.
“Wallahi, if you cannot protect us, allow our children to defend us,” grieving mother cries after son and livestock killings by Mwaghavul militiamen in Mangu
By: Zagazola Makama
The mother of a Fulani herder reportedly killed during an attack at Lawet and Lamor in Pushit District, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, has made an emotional appeal to security agencies to protect her family and other vulnerable residents from further attacks.
In an emotional video obtained by Zagazola Makama, the grieving mother, overwhelmed by the loss of her son, called on the authorities to take immediate action and prevent further killings.
“Wallahi, if you cannot protect us, allow our own children to defend us,” she said, expressing frustration over what she described as the failure of authorities to provide adequate protection.
The woman was speaking after her son was reportedly killed during the attack on herders and livestock around Lawet and Lamor at about 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026.
According to information from the area, the attackers suspected to be Mwaghavul militiamen reportedly used tear-gas canisters before opening fire with automatic rifles, allegedly targeting cattle that had been tied inside enclosures at the residences of the herders.
One Fulani herder was reportedly killed, while the exact number of cattle killed or injured was still being established.
The circumstances surrounding the attack and the identities of those responsible are yet to be independently established.
The mother’s emotional appeal, however, highlights a deeper concern in the continuing violence in parts of Mangu: when victims believe that the state cannot protect them or deliver justice, some may begin to consider taking security into their own hands.
That is precisely the point at which a security crisis can become even more dangerous.
The tragedy is that a grieving family seeking protection can easily become a community mobilised for retaliation if authorities fail to respond quickly and credibly.
At the same time, calls for self-defence must not become a licence for reprisals against innocent people.Every community has civilians who deserve protection, regardless of ethnicity or religion.
The growing frustration among victims also places a responsibility on the Plateau State Government and security authorities to demonstrate, through concrete action, that violence will be investigated and that perpetrators will face the law.
Troops raid terrorists’ enclave, neutralise fighter, recover AK-47 in Sokoto
By: Zagazola Makama
Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have neutralised a terrorist during a raid on a suspected terrorist hideout in Gudu Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation was conducted following credible intelligence on the presence of terrorists around Karani village.
The troops advanced towards the suspected terrorist camp and, upon making contact with the hostile elements, engaged them with firepower, neutralising one terrorist while others fled into the surrounding forest.
During the exploitation of the camp, the troops recovered one AK-47 rifle loaded with live ammunition, one operational motorcycle, military camouflage uniforms, maintenance tools and other logistical supplies.
Following the encounter, the troops conducted clearance operations across the surrounding forest axis to dominate the area and deny the fleeing terrorists freedom of movement.
The recovered weapons and equipment have been taken into custody as troops continue operations to track fleeing members of the group and dismantle their networks in the area.
