MY TAKE ON THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

 10 COMMANDMENTS - My Take By Fadip Kwamkur Qwamie I watched with keen attention the rhetorics that trailed the dedication of the Yeshua Kingdom International AKA The 10 commandments Ministry in Jos. Remember that any opinion held by anyone regardless of political affiliation is their own personal opinion and not of the generality of the community they emanate from. I appreciate and admire what Dara Jonah Jang has achieved in his lifetime and i admonish every Plateau patriot to give Honour to whom Honour is due rather than falling into the callous hands of our adversaries by cleaning our dirty linen in public. Let us retreat for a moment and ask ourselves some salient questions, would this dedication have been trailed by political narratives if it was embarked upon by someone else other than Dara Jonah Jang? Would this have even been up for debate if it was an edifice that is significant to a different religion? Now back to the Governor's absence at the event, His Excellency, Rt Ho

ALLEGATION OF MARGINALISATION OF CHRISTIANS IN KANAM LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA.

ALLEGATION OF MARGINALISATION OF CHRISTIANS IN KANAM LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA. In civilized climes, political parties are identified based on principles and ideology, and not on whether you are a Muslim or Christian as it is been done in Nigeria. In any country where you have such recurring decimals in its polity, it represents tell-tale signs of deep-seated hate and factionalized elitism and followership ; two constant features of a country on the brink of collapse. I am so certain Kanam would not care which religion their leaders comes from as long as he or she can provide them with adequate security for their lives and properties, portable and affordable health care, solid social and capital infrastructure, quality and reasonably priced education, functional social welfare schemes, and sustainable jobs. As Kanamians, what we expect from Kanam Christian Youths in Politics(KCYP) in particular and Plateau state politicians in general is an exemplification of ‘politics based on principles’
