Bishop's son escapes UNIPORT's kidnappers | | UFUOMATOMA Kwakpovwe, 26, was registered to read Pharmacy at the Uni-versity of Port Harcourt and was doing just that when four demon-possessed gun-toting yet-to-be-identified hood-lums attempted to kidnap him and the attendant emotional trauma truncated that dream forcing his parents to relocate him to Ghana to continue his studies there. Ufuomatoma, Toma for short, is the second son of the publisher of Our Daily Manna and founder of The Manna Prayer Mount-ain Ministry, Orioke-Ogudu, Lagos, Bishop Chris Kwakpo-vwe.

Wither Osun State! We are watching | | IN Nigeria today, Religion is always used for wrong reasons. We witnessed the OIC palaver of 1986 which nearly split our country in two, the religious riots in the old Kaduna State during which a number of churches were set ablaze and innocent lives were lost, the Sharia controversy in some states in the North in 2000 which also led to loss of human lives and harassment of the Christian minori-ty in those states, the subjection of Nigerians to noise pollution issuing from churches and mosques, the exploitation of religious differences by politicians who would do or say anything to get votes, the use of religion to justify the obviously politically motivated Boko Haram insurgency, to mention but these. Religion is once again in the news, this time in Osun State on the wearing of HIJAB. The post Wither Osun State! We are watching appeared first on Vanguard News. |
