A CALL FOR CALM, RESTRAINT AND UNDERSTANDING - GUDO

A CALL FOR CALM, RESTRAINT AND UNDERSTANDING!

The attention of the Grand Patron and Long Gamai of the Gamai Nation, The President and NEC of the Gamai Unity and Development Organization (GUDO) was drawn yesterday to the publication in the social media of a certain Invitation card purported to be for the turbaning  of certain persons under the auspices of the ‘Wakilin Hausawan Shendam L.G.A’ fixed for Saturday the 15/05/2021. 

Attention was also paid to the plethora of justified reactions from within the ranks of our people through every strata of the Gamai Nation. 

Following the foregoing, HRH The Long Gamai swiftly swung into action with a view to verifying the veracity of the occasion. He promptly convened an emergency meeting of the Shendam Traditional Council. 

After a painstaking consideration of the ‘proposed ceremony’ the council took far reaching decisions among which is to stop the event forthwith whilst other deterrent measures would be put in place to avert a recurrence. 

It is in the light of the foregoing that His Royal Highness has asked for calm, restraint and understanding amongst our people and plead that we refrain from making inciting and provocative statements, publications or taking actions that are capable of compromising our much cherished race-relations harmony and assures all and sundry that he will not shirk in his divine role and endowed responsibility as the avowed custodian of our cherished customs, tradition and land! 

Shal ka yil men!
Long Live the Gamai Nation
 
Signed:

Theodore Bala Maiyaki
President GUDO

Secretary General GUDO

​Widows Reclaim Hope Through Scarlet Cord Initiative In Southern Kaduna, trauma-healed widows are turning grief into business ideas and resilience into economic power. By Justin Jattim  A non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment, education, and economic upliftment of vulnerable women and youth impacted by banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency in Nigeria, the Scarlet Cord Initiative, has extended its work to Gumel in Kachia, southern Kaduna. There, it held a two-day holistic empowerment programme for about 100 traumatized women. The programme included skills training, mentorship, trauma psycho-support, and advocacy. The event, which took place in a vibrant hall in Gora, began with a simple ball of yarn passed from hand to hand, weaving a visible web of connection among the 100 selected widows. These women shared the experience of losing their husbands to violent attacks. This was not a craft lesson, but the opening act of a profound tra...
