Speaking  during the presentation of Mr. Onyekachi Nwaulo as the Lay President of the Methodist Diocese of Onitsha, at St Andrews Cathedral Awada, Idemili North Local Government Area, Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Livinus   Onuagha and Dame Etiaba said the Federal Government seemed to have forgotten the school girl.

Sharibu is one of the 111 girls of Government Girls Science and Technical College who were allegedly kidnapped from their hostel in Dapchi, Yobe State on February 19, 2018. She has not yet been released by her captors 354 days after her kidnap.

Her Muslim colleagues have been released but she is still being held by the Boko Haram insurgents.

While Bishop Onuagha accused the Federal Government of inaction over the release of Miss Sharibu, Dame Etiaba urged Christians not to allow her  die in detention by the Boko Harm insurgents because she represents the existence of Christianity in Nigeria.

“The Federal Government is playing politics with the release of the kidnapped Christian School girl, Leah Sharibu  or why is Boko Haram  still holding her? The Federal Government should do what it did to release her Muslim colleagues.”

Dame Etiaba, on her part said: “We seem to have forgotten Leah Sharibu. Federal Government and Nigerians must not  allow  her to die, we must all join hands to liberate her, we must pray for her safety and freedom.

“Leah holds the life of Christianity in Nigeria and Christians in Nigeria and the world must rise up to ensure that she is released alive. No harm should be allowed to befall her. We are surprised that up till date, the girl has not been released.”

Our fears about election

On the forthcoming general election, the Methodist Church expressed fear that “the ruling party in the country may not allow the wishes of the masses to be reflected in the forthcoming elections in Nigeria. That is our fear.

“One of the reasons for our fears is the crowd coming from Niger Republic, Chad and Mali that was allowed into the country to support the APC rally in the North, like the recent one that happened in Kano State.”

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
