leadership that addresses real problems, not petty distractions.

religious leaders and influencers of society, the mandate is clear: “A nation in crisis demands focus, courage, and action from its leaders. When insecurity thrives, all other pursuits become irrelevant, for peace is the foundation upon which progress is built.” The North is bleeding, and what it needs now is leadership that addresses real problems, not petty distractions.

revocation under the guise of national peace and security is baseless and reeks of ignorance that one would expect intellectuals, especially a supposed professor in the meeting, to dispel rather than perpetuate. Such uninformed deliberations only highlight the urgent need for rightful education among those entrusted with guiding societal morality.

when insurgents and criminal elements are wreaking havoc daily, diverting attention to an issue as trivial and legally straightforward as an airstrip license is both shocking and irresponsible. By global aviation standards, obtaining an airstrip license is a matter of regulatory compliance, open to any qualified institution.

The focus of the NSCIA meeting on an airstrip license granted to Living Faith Church Worldwide is not only a glaring misplacement of priorities but also a disservice to the Northern region, which is currently ravaged by an unprecedented wave of insecurity, destruction, and loss of lives.

Very wicked religious leader, why the airstrip at the moment when many of his followers are in abject poverty. Christians should wise up and end this so called lavish life of this Christian leader.

7th, Dec, 2024 Government officials will not be there,they can use the airstrip for many things,one of its , smuggling of weapons,money laundering, Even bringing drugs and taken drugs out and of the country,? If they have money for such business,,why not put the money in farming and create Empty for Nigerias.,

I pray and hope that the problem will be resolved soon.

Your leaders are to be held responsible for your claims and fears. Are you expecting revenue generated from other states to be used to fund those who have nothing to bring to the table forever? Personally, it's a wake up to the northern governors to look inwards and do better.

There are important challenges to discuss. I don't see how the approval of an airstrip licence can constitute a security challenge.

Instead of them to discuss the new northern terrorist group. So ashamed of these leaders. How is Oyedepo your problem

You'll think they called the meeting to discuss the hardship Nigerians are facing but from this news, they only wanted to criticize Bishop Oyedepo's Airstrip granted Oyedepo. Why don't you face your business and leave Christians alone! Boko Haram and other deadly groups are killing your people, you don't discuss. Abomination pple mind ypur business and leave the Christian alone...Jealousy go kill una

Yes, Bishop is a Christian,the head of the whole Christian community in Nigeria is not a Christian?

Had PPDP applied truth when it was in power, clarity on issues like this would have long been established and not subject to whims and caprice. Regrettably, instead of correcting it, the APC in power is taking similar steps as did the PDP when it was in power, forgetting that inevitably, it will one day be out of power and so be on the receiving end of the impunity just as the PDP is now suffering.

Nice move. This is what happened in Central Africa. Granting airstrip is an aberration of highest order. The

'Few love to hear the sin the love to act.' A thief thinks every other person is a thief. They know what they have been doing with those allowances that's why they think everyone is like them. They infiltrated this country with arms. That's their fear. Bishop is a Christian and would not run arms, don't worry

Have we forgotten quickly the issue of the then CAN President ORITSAJEFOR that his personal plane was caught laundering Nigeria money in South Africa.He said the money is to buy Ammunition.When is Nigerian Army has been degraded to the level of using private jet to procure ammunition.This is one of the fears of reasonable Nigerians.

We need help, the north needs help, their has been too much blood spillage in the north, I think our elders in the north should concern themselves with improving our literacy level & how to stop insecurity. The North is too blessed to make reporters think such deliberations were born out of jealousy for the wealth of a clergy. God's blessings are usually what eyes have not seen, nor ears heard...

Life of tuns girls and Yahoo boys. Dog eat dog......Kill the snake or the snake kill you.

Government officials will not be there,they can use the airstrip for many things,one of its , smuggling of weapons,money laundering,

They didn't also discuss the threat posed by the new terror group, Lakurawa.

If you would sit back and allow it, he would prove his points and the liar shall perish!!

Why don't you face your business and leave Christians alone! Boko Haram and other deadly groups are killing your people, you don't discuss on how to find a way to put a stop to that. It's like you enjoy criticizing Christians than to serve your God and save your people.

Is it Afe Babalola who will give the condition for bail or the court. This is because from the language of this post it is like the complainant is setting the condition that must be fulfilled before Dele Farotimi be released. This is a new development in our legal system. Nawao for Nigeria.

I laughed. Every statement of this news is hilarious ??????

pooooooo

May Allaah bless his soul and grant him Aljanna Firdausi ?

That is very nice of you DAVIDO

The Abia State Government didn't engage the real owners of the farm land but it's believed that people were rented claiming to be land owners. There is no general community land in the area but farm lands belonging to individuals some of who own three, give or six farm lands and the government acquiring everything leaving them empty. Between Umuomainta (Nbawsi) is a long stretch slop through Umuogu Their concern also is the size of land being acquired that suggests it will be redistributed government loyalists. This is strengthened by the fact that airports are not built on sloppy ground. They're also concerned that land had been acquired and clead by Ikpeazu administration which also includes Nsulu peoples ancestral land and which became subject of investigation by Oti's administration so why not continue with the airport development there? The Chief of Staff being an Nsulu man is acidly pursuing the acquisition because his village is not inclusive. These arnd others are reasons why the community is opposing to host the project. They are not government developments in the area and not against siting an airport in Abia State

I need a job sir because right now I don't have anything doing at hand ? sir

Hummmm,na unavailable offense?

They have received grants just to initiate the evil act in this country already. Now is left for the good people of this country to start beheading whoever is caught doing or promoting such acts. They are their in our holy place of worships. The mallams, the priests and nuns in most of the monasteries and for the most part, the national assembly. May God save Nigeria ?

A daughter in-law with the mind to do this to her inlaws is heartless. Period. There would have been other ways to go about this issue rather than this gruesome step. It's a pity. What goes around comes around.
