Plateau State clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has laid curses on former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, saying he will not escape the wrath of God for discrediting alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria. Omokri has been vehemently denying that there is an ongoing killing of Christians in Nigeria, particularly in Plateau State, going as far as inviting international fact-finding teams into the country all in a bid to tell the world that Christians are not being killed.

I had the privilege of witnessing the Ekiti APC governorship consensus ratification on October 27, 2025.

There was, however, an unexpected resistance to the tax cuts in some provinces, particularly in Ekiti, Ijebu and Ondo. Over 300 people were arraigned before magistrates across the region for unruly conduct and bound over. The key point here is that people, after an initial resistance in the middle of the 1950s, had come to accept the benefits of paying taxes. Even by today’s standards worldwide, this is real…
