Stampede: Anglican Primate commiserates with victims’ families, tasks FG on food security
The Primate, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Rev’d Henry Ndukuba, has called for more attention towards ensuring food security in the country.
Ndukuba gave the advice at a press conference on Monday in Abuja
While speaking on the recent stampedes experienced during the distribution of palliatives in Abuja, Ibadan and Okija in Anambra, Ndukuba commiserated with families of the victims.
He said that the tragic incidents called for more urgent attention to address poverty and hunger in the country.
He urged Nigerian leaders to be serious with the challenges confronting the country, and for the political class to sacrifice for the nation, adding that the situation in Nigeria demanded sacrifice.
He said that the present administration was putting in place measures to address the present challenges, urging Nigerians to expect transformation soon.
Ndukuba said that efforts by the government to achieve a better Nigeria would take a little time, calling on all citizens to exercise some patience.
The issue of food security must be taken seriously.
“Tackling the problem of insecurity is also an urgent matter because, if you look at what we are suffering now, many farmers cannot go to the farm because they do not feel safe.
“If farmers don’t go to the farm and bring out food, there will be nothing for us to eat. The little that is provided will result in a scramble by many to get a share, and that speaks to the foundational issues of this nation,” he said
The Anglican Primate also emphasised the need for Nigerians to embrace patriotism and love for one another.
He urged the National Orientation Agency to embark on the sensitisation of Nigerians on core values and patriotism.

I Threw My Expensive Gold Jewelry into the Lagoon the Moment I Became a Born-Again Christian— Pastor Adeboye’s Wife, Foluke
Wife of Foluke Adeboye has revealed the drastic step she took after becoming born again, throwing away her gold jewellery into a lagoon.
Speaking candidly, the pastor’s wife shared that like many women, she once loved fashion and had even prepared expensive gold items for her young child.
However, everything changed after she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where wearing earrings was frowned upon at the time.
“The moment we were born again, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she said.
She recalled how a family friend questioned her decision, suggesting she could have given the jewellery to her mother to sell instead.
But She stood firm, “Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother.”
Reflecting on her journey, she made it clear she has no regrets about her sacrifice.
“I don’t miss anything, not much, because I have already sold my life,” she added.

ADC calls on women to lead, shape Nigeria’s future
As Nigeria observes International Women’s Day 2026, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged women to take active roles in politics and leadership to help build a more inclusive nation.
In a statement on Sunday, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said Nigerian women carry a disproportionate share of social and economic responsibilities but remain underrepresented in decision-making positions.
“From mothers and teachers to doctors, nurses, and entrepreneurs, women sustain our nation every day. Yet their voices are often absent when decisions about our future are made,” the statement read.
The ADC highlighted that its National Working Committee is deliberately structured to include women, and emphasized that the party is the only one in Nigeria whose constitution reserves 40 per cent of all positions at every level for women.
“For the ADC, women are partners in nation-building, and empowering them strengthens Nigeria’s democracy. When Nigerian women rise, the nation rises with them,” Abdullahi added.
The party urged more women across the country to join its platform and contribute to shaping Nigeria’s political and democratic future.
“To the ADC, women are indispensable to the future of Nigerian democracy. A nation of over two hundred million people cannot reach its full potential when half of its population remains underrepresented in political leadership. Nigeria’s democracy will only become stronger when its institutions reflect the strength, talent, and diversity of its people,” the statement emphasized.
