Echoes From Africa 🌍
Real stories of our roots, courage, kingdoms, and legends

[oseni rufai @ruffydfire]

All my staff are South Africans. I have three of them. If you close my shop can you provide them a job?”

🚨BREAKING: A business owner in Spartan has reportedly decided not to hire South African workers after parting ways with undocumented foreign employees.

The owner has also declined requests from members of the March and March Movement to reopen the business and recruit local residents.

According to the owner, although the former employees have already left the country, he has chosen to keep the company closed rather than employ a new workforce. This decision reportedly led to a heated confrontation between the business owner and members of the local community.

[Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo @ezekieldachomo0]

To the world

My name is Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo and today I speak not with hatred but with a heart full of pain and faith

A few days ago Fulani herdsmen sent a threatening letter to me and to members of my church

The letter was written in both Hausa and English and its message was terrifying

They vowed to attack me and kill me soon just as they killed nine of my relatives

Copies of these threatening letters have already been handed over to the security operatives

Many people have asked me if I am afraid

My answer is no

I am not afraid because my life is in the hands of Almighty God

The Bible says in Psalm 118:6

The Lord is on my side I will not fear What can man do unto me

I know what it means to bury those I love

I know what it means to wipe the tears of children who watched their parents murdered

I know what it means to stand before grieving families whose only crime was refusing to deny Jesus Christ

Now they say I will be next

But I ask the world

What is my crime

Is my crime that I speak for widows who have no voice

Is my crime that I cry for orphaned children whose parents were murdered

Is my crime that I tell the stories of persecuted Christians in Nigeria so the world will not forget them

Is my crime that I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and refuse to remain silent while innocent people are killed

If that is my crime then I will continue until my last breath

Jesus Himself warned us in John 15:20

If they persecuted Me they will also persecute you

I did not choose this path because it is safe

I chose it because truth must never bow before terror

They may threaten my life but they cannot silence the truth

They may kill the messenger but they cannot kill the message

Romans 8:35 says

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ Shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword

The answer is no

Nothing can separate us from His love

Today I ask the world not to look away

Remember the widows

Remember the orphans

Remember the innocent Christians who continue to suffer simply because of their faith

Stand with us in prayer

Stand with us in truth

Stand with us in demanding justice for every innocent life

And if one day my voice is silenced let the world remember that I never carried a weapon

My only weapon was the truth

My only mission was to defend the persecuted

My only desire was to let the world know that the blood of innocent people cries out before God

As Paul declared in 2 Timothy 4:7

I have fought the good fight I have finished the race I have kept the faith

May God strengthen every persecuted believer

May He comfort every grieving family

And may the light of Christ shine even in the darkest valleys until justice and peace prevail

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

We can not ignore this pattern.

I ask you to treat this question as an academic question:

What is the propensity of Igbo women to violence on children?

Pepper in vagina, using blade to slash wrists, burning with candles.

What's driving this thirst for violence?

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

All the Twitter warriors that have "decamped" from supporting Obi communicated this same thought process on their exit speech.

It speaks so much about our value system as a people.

Imagine me expecting Peter Obi to send me a "thank you" DM because I want a functioning country.
