Group berates FG for seeking help from foreign government over Southeast sit-at-home order
The National Congress of Wo-Men’s Societies in Nigeria has described the recent summon of the Finnish Ambassador to Nigeria by the Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss about the Biafra Spokesperson in the person of Mazi Simon Ekpa as a slap on the international image of Nigeria.This was coming against the backdrop that a recent report disclosed that the Finland Ambassador to Nigeria Leena Pylvanainen was summoned by the Nigeria Ministry of Foreign affairs represented by Geoffrey Onyeama to discuss the current sit-at -home order approved by Nigerians from the Southeast part of Nigeria through their Spokesperson Mazi Simon Ekpa.The Nigerian representative wanted the Finland Government to intervene and stop the sit at home so that Nigeria presidential election will hold in that part of the country.
Reacting to the action, the Spokesperson of the National Congress for Wo-Mens Societies Nigeria Dr, Ngozi Orabueze berated the Nigeria Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama for involving another country in a problem created by him and the Nigeria leadership.
According to her, a country that Its leadership disobeys the rule of law with impunity, has no justification or moral obligation to demand rule of law from other countries or its citizens.
She explained that Mazi Simon Ekpa is a Nigerian Citizen who has millions of followers cutting across Nigeria seeking for either a referendum or restructuring of the country due to myriad of problems created by the current structure, composition, dangerous diversities as well as the current leadership.
She questioned Geoffrey Onyeama on the viability of a scheduled presidential election in Nigeria with special reference to the territory of the Indigenous People of Biafra where an estimated 45,000 innocent citizens have been murdered by the Nigeria state due to their belief, 10,000 missing and over 7,000 citizens incarcerated in different cells across the country.
“Such killings, incarceration and suppression is also witnessed in other parts of the country such as the Southwest, Middle belt, and South South.
She questioned the rationale for engaging Finland Ambassador in Nigeria’s election when he and his administration have constantly disobeyed court orders and rule of law such as the continuous detention of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu whom the United Nations Committee on Arbitrary Rendition has ordered for his release with compensation.
“The deadline given by the UN to release Nnamdi Kanu has passed and the Nigeria government including Onyeama has refused to comply with the UN directives
Charity, they say begins from home.
The NCWS Representative noted that the recent frustration and suffering of the Nigerian masses stemming from the new Naira currency swap, insecurity, lack of leadership, destruction of economy and anger that cuts across the country are enough grounds for people to seek for self determination.
The heightened tension of insecurity caused by the government’s policy of rehabilitation and reintegration of known terrorists into the Nigerian security forces has created a nightmare to the Nigerian people. The insensitive nature of the government to push for election that majority of the country especially those from the Southeast and Southwestern part of the country have rejected.
The continued incarceration of the Leader of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu despite repeated pleas and calls by sitting governors from Southeast Nigeria for his release.
The group encouraged the Nigeria government to conduct a Referendum as requested by Biafrans, Oduduwa’s, and other Nigerians and stop the militarization of a supposedly democratic election.
The group thanked the Finland government for maintaining the importance of freedom of speech and respect for citizens right of which Mazi Simon Ekpa has been in the fore front to liberate his people from continued suppression, oppression, genocide and ethnic cleansing and terrorism fueled by the Nigerian state.

Plane Crash Averted Hours After Enenche’s Prophetic Warning at Prayer Session
In a mindblowing prophetic insight, Senior Pastor Dr. Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre led prayers against an impending plane crash during his Commanding The Day Midnight Prayers on Thursday, which many believe averted a disaster just hours later.
During the early hours at the Glory Dome in Abuja, Dr. Enenche urged his congregation to pray fervently against a possible plane crash, asking for divine intervention to “cancel” any agenda of harm in the skies. “We must pray against a plane crash,” he declared, adding, “I stand anointed to cancel every agenda of the devil to cause any crash…it is canceled in the name of Jesus.”
Six hours after the prayer session, an incident involving an Air Peace flight traveling from Abuja to Lagos appeared to validate his warning.
As the flight was about to take off, a bird strike at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport forced the plane to halt immediately.
Passengers onboard, including Lagos-based lawyer Inibehe Effiong, were shaken as the aircraft came to a sudden stop. Effiong shared his experience on social media, expressing relief that the incident occurred before takeoff, which could have led to a graver situation. “Thankfully, it didn’t happen after takeoff. It would have been scarier,” Effiong wrote.
As a replacement aircraft was brought in and passengers reboarded, Effiong called for the adoption of bird detection radar technology to prevent similar incidents.
Dr. Enenche’s congregation took to social media to celebrate what they saw as divine intervention, expressing gratitude for his timely prayer, which they credit with averting a national tragedy.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of spiritual vigilance and has inspired many in the congregation to deepen their faith and remain steadfast in prayer.
A video of Dr. Enenche’s prophetic declaration is now being widely shared, with many inspired by his foresight and the significance of this near-miss event.

Group Calls for Suspension, Investigation, Prosecution of FERMA MD Over Alleged Corruption
A group, Coalition for National Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (CNRR), has issued a formal plea to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging the immediate suspension, investigation, and potential prosecution of the Managing Director of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
Their call is coming amid series of damning allegations surrounding corruption, incompetence, and misuse of office.
The group who converged on Thursday morning at the Headquarters of the FERMA at the Wuse 11 in the Federal Capital Territory carried banners and placards with inscriptions calling for the investigation and possible sack of the Managing Director of the Agency, Engr Emeka Agbasi.
In a strongly worded letter addressed to the President and Commader in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, Three Arms Zone, and read by the National converner of the coalition Alhaji Ali Abacha, they outlined numerous accusations against the FERMA boss.
They accused him of gross mismanagement and criminal activity, which threaten to undermine the government’s anti-corruption drive. Key allegations include the sale of contracts for financial gain, abuse of Direct Labor Agencies for unauthorized projects, and financial irregularities involving the illegal virement and swapping of payments without due process.
According to the letter, the FERMA MD is also accused of laundering money through fronts operating via Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) and Zenith Bank, living lavishly in Abuja hotel suites such as Pinnatech Suites Ltd., and sidelining experienced contractors in favor of cronies.
Furthermore, the MD is being accused of ignoring directives from the Ministry of Works, acting independently and awarding contracts unrelated to federal road maintenance.
Abacha stressed the importance of suspending and investigating the official to maintain public trust and uphold the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
He called on anti-corruption agencies, including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), to take immediate action.
The statement warned that allowing such actions to continue unaddressed would reflect poorly on President Tinubu’s administration, which has made fighting corruption a key priority. CNRR urged the government to act swiftly to prevent further damage to its image and credibility.
As of now, there has been no official response from the Presidency or FERMA regarding these allegations. The Nigerian public and stakeholders in the construction sector are closely watching for developments in what could become a significant test of the government’s resolve in combating corruption.
