Ex-NANS president condemns abduction of FRSC officials, advocates for their power to bear arms

On Monday the 14th of September 2020, tragedy of monumental dimension struck when suspected kidnappers attacked two bus-loads of Federal Road Safety Corps officials at Wudage junction, Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, killing two officials and abducting 10 others to an unknown destination.

The killing and abduction drew nationwide uproar and condemnation by members of the public immediately the news spread across the media space. Many are of the opinion that FRSC as a Commision does spectacular job and contributes significantly to nation-building in terms of maintaining road safety for motorists, helping to prevent road accidents, broadening stakeholders engagement and adding value to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but, alas, the lives of its officials especially those on highways are susceptible to attacks, accidents and violent confrontations by armed robbers, bandits, abductors, hit-and-run drivers as well as defaulters of road safety laws.

In the light of this sad reality, a former President, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Turkish Zone, comrade Zachariah Madaki apparently worried by the unfortunate development of Monday 14th in a press release made available to journalists in Abuja condemned in the strongest possible terms the killing and abduction of the officers who were travelling from Sokoto and Kebbi states to a South-East location.

Comrade Madaki calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the kidnapped officials as well as the arrest and prosecution of those behind the attacks.

He called on the Federal Government to do all it can and protect FRSC officials in view of the vulnerability of their work. In the same vein, he maintained that the immediate approval of fire-arms to be used by them would offer sustainable and productive solution to the pressing challenges they’re confronted with. He justified his call by quoting section 19 of the FRSC act 2007 which provides that “For the purpose of carrying out or enforcing the provisions of this Act, such members of the Corps as may be determined by the Commission, exposed to high risk in the enforcement of the provisions of this Act, shall have the same powers, authorities and privileges including power to bear arms as are given by law to members of the Nigeria Police “

He said “It was really sad and traumatizing when we heard of the killing of 2 FRSC officials and abduction of 10 others by suspected kidnappers on Monday the 14th of September. This unfortunate development has almost become an endless occurrence. There are multiple cases of harrassment, killing, abduction, assault, threats and maiming of FRSC officials from time immemorial. In 1990, a senior officer Mr. Omolade was killed in Ogun state by armed robbers. In 1994, Mr. Oguniyi Agbi was killed by armed robbers in the same Ogun state among other cases of troubling dimensions. I’m calling on the Federal Government to grant them the power to bear arms for self-defence and protection. When that is done, they will be more emboldened to carry out their tasks, patrol courageously at night and save more lives. I also call for further training of their personnel to upgrade their combat skills and repel attacks against them by criminal elements. Such trainings can be carried out in both Nigeria and abroad just like when in 1992, some officials were trained in the New York Police Service Division which the present Corp Marshal Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi was part of it. Action must be taken immediately. We can’t afford to loose more lives and expose them to further risks. We in NANS believe that an injury to one Nigerian is an injury to all…” The statement reads in part.

Comrade Madaki concluded that the present senior management staff of FRSC were doing their best in repositioning the commission for sustainable growth and development, hence the need for FG to continue to support them.

Re: Stop sending children to schools in Northern Cyprus: A Reply to Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa - By Comrd. Zachariah Madaki

I came across a publication by the Punch Newspaper dated August 24th, 2020 credited to the CEO, Nigerians in Disapora Commission, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa where she was quoted as saying "Stop sending children to schools in Northern Cyprus" on the grounds that "It was too risky to send children to the schools in Northern Cyprus as hundreds of Nigerian students had been killed there mysteriously without any conclusive investigations carried out." 

My position has always been clear and I would like to state for the records that while Mrs. Abike Dabiri is entitled to her opinion literally, I make bold to say, there are loopholes in her statement. The statement was replete with misinformation, sensationalism and for the most part, not in anyway close to reality.  

Firstly, I can't overrule some recorded cases of confrontations resulting in deaths between Nigerians and fellow Nigerians and on the other hand, between Nigerians and Turkish students. We had a record of those few cases and I condemn in the strongest possible terms those unfortunate developments. Criminality happens everywhere, but we shouldn't allow it to take the lead in society. Where destiny has brought us together, we must appreciate our differences and live in peace. I must also extend my sincere condolences to the families of all victims and those caught in the cross-fire of criminal deaths throughout the world. 

However, I wish to respectfully debunk Hon. Dabiri-Erewa's position because it undermines and rubbishes our concerted efforts to the solutions we are constantly proffering to our challenges as Nigerian students in Northern Cyprus-Turkey. 

Having schooled there and tens of thousands of others, it is fair to say that Cyprus is one of the peaceful and coordinated Islands in the world. As a former NANS President and someone keeping abreast of emerging developments concerning the welfare and security of Nigerians in Northern Cyprus, my underlying mission is to correct negative impressions and put the records straight in order to douse tension. There was never a time from time immemorial till date that over 100 Nigerian students were killed in mysterious circumstances in Northern Cyprus. The country has its flaws in some ways but never in the history of its existence have we had such outrageous incidences of over 100 deaths. This is an incorrect information and perhaps Punch Newspaper as a National Daily should have meticulously carried out investigation to ascertain the veracity of Hon. Dabiri-Erewa's position before publishing. Unfortunately Punch Newspaper threw the principle of objective and balanced reportage to the winds. This is not a PR for Northern Cyprus but an honest analysis of the situation of things in order to unearth the truth for the sake of conscience and posterity.

I'm calling on students and parents whose wards are in Northern Cyprus to remain calm and dislodge any fear in them as the information was exaggerated. Thousands of Nigerians graduated in different schools in Cyprus and are doing well, contributing to global development and reaching the peak of their careers. 

I encourage Nigerian government to as a matter of urgency upgrade and further define greater prospects in the educational sector. Parents on the other should constantly inspire and instill discipline in their children to be of good behaviour and contribute significantly to the growth and development of their host countries. 

I also call on investigate journalists, media practitioners, and other independent researchers to dig deep and unravel whether or not Hon. Dabiri-Erewa's position is true. As a student, patriotic Nigerian and concerned leader working to protect the interests of Nigerian students and determined to allay emerging fears, I humbly disagree with her excellency. This is a very sensitive information that shouldn't be swept under the carpet. If she had ever visited the country, she would have spoken from an informed perspective using the language of diplomacy, but her outburst was unfortunate to say the least. 

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Dr. Mazadu Dader Bako has received the news of the death of Mrs. Mercy Bewarang wife of former COCIN president and immediate past chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Rev. Dr. Soja Bewarang with deep sadness and shock.

In a press release by his media team sympathizing with Rev. Bewarang and the family, Dr. Bako said “Mrs. Bewarang died at a time her wisdom and love for humanity was needed the most as the world is enmeshed in crisis and many troubles of monumental impact.”

He said Mrs. Bewarang’s legacies of love, peace and passion for unity in society will never be erased in people’s hearts especially within the COCIN family worldwide.

Ziphion Chrysanthus sympathizes with Rev. Dr. Soja Bewarang over Mama Bewarang's death

I received the news of mama Mercy Bewarang’s death with shock and deep sadness. Alas, death came stealthily and snatched a woman of virtue from us.

That was a tragedy too many. Mama Bewarang had no doubt contributed immeasurably to the growth and development of the body of Christ and the society at large. Her uncommon wisdom, legacies and passion for humanity will be greatly missed. She showed incredible sacrifices and commitment over time to empower youths and women with godly and moral values. She changed the course of history and I salute her courage.

We can’t question God. He gives and takes. The Bible says, “precious in the sight of God is the death of his Saint.” That was his ultimate will to take Mrs. Bewarang to be with him in paradise.

I register my heartfelt condolences to Rev. Dr. Soja Bewarang and the family for mama’s Demise. May her gentle soul rest in peace with the Lord.

Ziphion Chrysanthus Flags off Chip Unity Football Tournament amidst mammoth crowd

The Founder and CEO of "Ziphion Chrysanthus Foundation" Hon. Ziphion Chrysanthus who is also the CEO of Tizona Synergy Ltd Abuja has officially flagged off the Chip Unity Football Tournament 2020 sponsored by his Foundation at LEA primary school football field  Longkat Chip District Saturday 15th August 2020.

The event which drew mammoth crowd was greeted by showers of encomiums, commendations and goodwill messages by youth groups, elders, community leaders and participating teams. 

In his remarks, the sponsor of the tournament Mr. Ziphion Chrysanthus said he did it because of his unfailing loyalty to his people and burning passion to foster unity among the different communities in Mhiship Land through sports. He further noted that such events should be organised regularly in order to help the youths reach their full potential in sports and contribute meaningfully to society.

In his goodwill message, a representative of Ziphion's delegation from Abuja comrade Adeyemi Friday said one of the ways of encouraging development at the grassroots level "Is to bring together youths under 1 umbrella to pursue a common cause that has an increasingly positive impact on society."

Pharm. Lengyang Tali on his part praised the initiative and and tagged it an exceptional development project while encouraging Ziphion Chrysanthus to do more for his people so the land would be blessed.

Before the flag-off, Ziphion Chrysanthus and his delegation upon arrival paid a courtesy visit to the Long Mhiship Nda Wesley Mulak II at his palace for royal Blessings. In his speech, the royal father encouraged the youths to be worthy ambassadors of their land and promote unity in diversity.

The event officially ended at 6PM and an announcement was made that the grand finale of the tournament would be on the 26th of September at the same venue by 1PM.

Opinion: Dr. Mazadu Dader Bako: Unveiling the success story of an uncommon leader

The quote below by Dr. Mazadu Dader Bako would serve as an anchor upon which this article would have its footing.

“My underlying purpose and motivation for leadership is giving back to community and society. Leave the society better than I met it.”

This feature story, put together by the media team of Dr. Mazadu Dader Bako seeks to among other rationale and logical basis underscore the ultimate success stories of a man whose primary vision is to exercise leadership that has the potential to pay higher dividends in our collective futures.

Firstly, we the media team members of the man, this article is written to honour are in all honesty, proud to associate ourselves with him and his vision for the future. We are definitely with him every step of the way.

Secondly, we put this article for the records and history can bear us witness that it has nothing to do with sugar-coated praises written out of context but ultimately, it has everything to do with motivating especially, the younger generation to take the challenge and change the course of history by adopting the kind of bold vision and leadership style examplified by our mentor and leader, a true “servant-leader” whose underlying mission in life is to constantly mould strong blocks in order to build and usher a new dawn of a civil, prosperous and truly functional Society with all of resources and opportunities harnessed for the greatest possible good of humanity. To lend further credence to the good things he’s done and still does, the interviews below are an eloquent testimony for firsthand.

Dr. Mazadu Dader Bako is very much in the spirit of patriotism doing things of extraordinary significance. Oh my goodness! Embarking on facts finding, grassroots journalism and community relations sounded like a thriller, and the obvious truth is the fact that, this is a man whose legacies will stand the test of time in all ramifications. He’s committed his hard earned resources to touch lives and make impact in Gyambwas village where he hails from and the larger society literally in terms of scholarships for the youths, helping to secure jobs, economic empowerment, provision of portable water and development projects to his credit like building of schools, hospital, motorable road, culverts, electric transformer and other basic essentials. These are no rhetorics but real in all practical sense as evidenced in the videos, pictures and testimonies of people selected through random sampling of opinions below.

Realistically, there is a world of difference between leaders who use what they’ve got to improve the lot of other people in the spirit of giving back to society and in active pursuance of purpose for the greatest possible good of humanity and others who use their position to assume counterproductive influence without footprints in the sands of time. Dr. Mazadu Dader Bako falls in the category of the former. This article seeks to spur other leaders to realise that time is short and there is no better time to begin the robust building of legacies than now. Tomorrow might be too late. If God places you in a position of influence and service, you’ve got to justify your mandate and build a future of hope and prosperity for generations yet unborn. This is exactly what Dr. Mazadu Dader Bako has done and still does. Kindly spare a minute and go through the picture gallery of his achievements directly benefiting his immediate community of Gyambwas and Mangu Local Government at large.

Apparently concerned about the development of his people and the need to have them improve their computer skills for greater future benefits, Dr. Mazadu Dader Bako established the Shantong ICT Center and was officially launched March 2020 in Mangu Local Government with state-of-the-art facilities/technology. It has a total number of 256 computers and got official clearance to be used as JAMB examination centre. On the other hand, the Shang Tong Hotel & Suites creating job opportunities and revenue for Mangu Local Government courtesy of Dr. Mazadu was opened in December 2015 for public use.

The youths, women, aged, workers and those close to Dr. Mazadu are all testifying his awesomeness and goodwill. According to a cleaner, Mrs. Talatu Emmanuel at Shantong ICT Center, “What Dr. Mazadu examplifies is courage and his goodwill is beyond measure.” Listen to her words in the video below.

Satisfied with his commitment and passion for development, during a media chat with Satisprime Reporters, chief DG Fompun said “Dr. Mazadu Dader Bako is someone I can vouch for. Over the years, he has been very supportive and philanthropic in his community and society at large. He’s one man who is passionate about community development and the progress of his people. The schools, clinics and other development projects to his credit are enough to thank this man.”

Also speaking with Satisprime Reporters, His Royal Highness the RIT LANGAI said “What Dr. Mazadu has done and continues to do are immeasurable. He’s a leader that doesn’t exhibit discriminatory tendencies on the basis of one’s religion. Christians and Muslims are beneficiaries of his philanthropy. Because of his impact on Langai District, I gave him a traditional title as the Talban Langai. May God bless him to do more.”

Also responding, Chief Pedro Dafur a close friend and acting national president of Mupun Cultural and Development Association (MUCDA) said, “Dr Bako is a complete gentleman. He is highly principled. Very meticulous and insightful. He strives for flawlessness and quality. A great personality with peaceful disposition. A very good family man. He loves and cherish his Gyambyes community very much.”

Based on general assessment and testimonies from people across the state, It is obvious that Mr. Mazadu Dader Bako represents enormous hope and enormous potential for change. He represents the promises of a greater and brighter future to come. Using his hard earned resources to lift many out of poverty, extend scholarship opportunities to the needy and open frontiers for development in Gyambwas community, Mangu and the larger society at large tells of his incredible sacrifices and commitment to humanity. It is just fascinating to know that Dr. Bako is redeeming the time and changing the course of history. He maximises opportunities and resources for the greatest possible good of humanity. He thinks outside the box and helps the people that come his way find their ultimate purpose in life. His amazing investments in communities and lives are second to none.
