Winners pastor, corps member serving in Maiduguri abducted by Boko Haram during evangelism

A corps member identified as Abraham Amuta was reportedly kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents two weeks ago.

According to Twitter user @OgaSuccess1, Amuta had gone for evangelism with a pastor from his church - Living Faith.

Report has it that they were on their way to Chibok LGA to donate relief items to Christian IDPs, when they were kidnapped. The driver and conductor reportedly escaped.

Oga Success called for prayers for the abducted corps member.

In response to the post, some Nigerians are wondering why he went on evangelism in a place like Maiduguri.

Some others want to know why they still post corps members to places with security issues.

The attacks by the Boko Haram have continued despite the efforts of Nigeria’s security agencies in partnership with those of neighbouring countries to bring it under control.

The insurgents have been largely restricted to three north-eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. However, they still carry out attacks on soldiers and civilians in those states.

Legit.ng reported earlier that suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked Magumeri local government area of Borno state.

No fewer than 15 Nigerian soldiers were reportedly killed by the insurgents in an attack on a military base in Borno state, according to security sources.

The insurgents rode into Magumeri local government area at about 6pm on Friday, May 3, and sacked a brigade there. Among the 15 soldiers who lost their lives during the attack were a captain and a lieutenant.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
