The National Youth Council of Nigeria, Niger State Chapter, under the leadership of Amb. Abdullahi Muhammad Ishaq, urgently calls upon His Excellency, Governor Umar Mohammed Bago, to take immediate action regarding the escalating banditry attacks that have been wreaking havoc in the Rijau, Magama, Mariga, and Kontagora Local Government Areas of Niger State. The persistent violence and insecurity in these regions have created a climate of fear and unease among residents, making it imperative for the state government to step in decisively.

These attacks have not only led to loss of lives and properties but have also disrupted the daily lives of countless families, hampering agricultural activities and overall economic stability in the affected areas. The youth council emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced security measures and strategic interventions to restore peace and security in these localities. It is crucial for the government to engage with local leaders, security agencies, and community members to develop comprehensive solutions that address the root causes of banditry and foster a safer environment for all citizens.

Moreover, the council appeals to the state government to consider providing compensation to the families of vigilantes who have lost their lives while bravely defending their communities against these threats. These vigilantes play a vital role in combating insecurity, often placing their lives on the line to protect others. Acknowledging their sacrifices through compensation would not only honor their memory but also encourage continued community involvement in the fight against crime.

In conclusion, the call for immediate intervention and support for the families of fallen vigilantes is vital for rebuilding trust within the community and ensuring that residents feel safe and secure in their homes. The youth council urges the state government to act swiftly and decisively to address these pressing challenges in Niger State.

Ladoja, the great ruler… A man of wisdom, strength, and undying love for Ibadanland. As he prepares to ascend the sacred throne as the incoming Olubadan, we honor his journey, his sacrifices, and his enduring legacy.

AJEPE AYE BABA ADEWOLU – The one who preserves life, father of many, may your reign be long, peaceful, and filled with divine grace.
Ibadan salutes you. May the ancestors walk with you. 🙏🏾

May God grant you the wisdom to prepare and the grace to build a godly home when the time comes.

Share this with a single friend who’s serious about preparing for a purposeful marriage

Marry a man who wants to be a husband....
not just a man who wants to have a wife.
There’s a big difference.
A man who wants a wife often loves the idea of marriage, the image, the comfort, the convenience.
He wants the warm meals, the folded laundry, the steady emotional support.
He wants a woman who holds it all together but doesn’t always consider the weight she carries.
But a man who wants to be a husband?
He moves differently.
He doesn't just want commitment, he respects it.
He doesn’t treat loyalty like a favour, it’s who he is, even when no one’s watching.
He wants to build with you. Grow with you. Protect the peace you bring into his life.
He communicates clearly.
He listens with patience.
He shows up, especially when it’s not easy.
He doesn’t just want the title. He wants the work, the responsibility, the devotion.
Because real husbands know that love is a verb.
It’s in the small things, the effort, the apologies, the shared responsibilities.
It’s in how he holds space for your emotions. How he covers you spiritually, mentally, and physically.
How he doesn’t run when things get hard and doesn’t go silent when you need him to speak up.
A man who wants to be a husband doesn’t chase convenience.
He chooses consistency.
So don’t settle for someone who just wants you around because of what you give.
Wait for the man who values you enough to grow into who he needs to be, for himself, for you, and for your future together.
Because when you marry someone who truly wants to be a husband,
He won’t just love you.
He will honor you.
Every single day.

*MESSAGE:*

A helpmeet is a wife who complements and supports her husband to fulfil God's purpose for their lives even when it is not convenient.

God ordained marriage as an institution where a wife helps her husband instead of competing with him, as the world paints it today. Just as the individuals in a team cannot compete against their teammates and expect to win, couples who compete against each other should not expect a successful marriage. A house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25). A husband and his wife are one and should work together as a team to achieve success in their marriage and in life (Mark 10:7-8)

Some highly successful women have allowed pride into their hearts such that they stop submitting to their husbands. Up until today, my wife cooks my meals. When the situation permits, she irons my clothes, and I iron hers too. When I was a teacher, and we were living in a remote location, she used to cut my hair. Just like the virtuous woman's husband in today's Bible reading, my heart safely trusts in her. She is never too busy to help me, and she upholds anything I uphold.

I remember when we were building the Mount Carmel Prayer Village. It was a massive project, but I went there only thrice - the day the foundation laying ceremony was done, the day I decided to take my grandchildren there, and the day the completed project was dedicated. Throughout the duration of the construction, my wife supervised the project diligently - that is a helpmeet indeed! She is always willing to go through the necessary rigours to see that I achieve my goal. She has stood by me through thick and thin, which is why she has full access to everything God blesses me with. When a responsible man has a true helpmeet as a wife, he'll go the extra mile to protect her and make her comfortable and happy. I often say that a fellow can slap me, and I'll turn the other cheek, but if anyone touches my wife, such a fellow will have my God, the Consuming Fire, to contend with.

As a wife, can your husband rely on you? You must be able to make up for his weaknesses, celebrate his successes, and be his number one cheerleader. If you are a man that has a helpmeet indeed by his side, you must nourish and cherish her. She is a priceless gem and must be treated as one.

*PRAYER POINT:*
Today is my wife's birthday, please join me to pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen and uphold her.

*BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:*
Song of Solomon 1-4

*AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE*

*HYMN 24 - I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS*

1. I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek;
For no one mark'd an angry word,
That ever heard Him speak.

2. I want to be like Jesus,
So frequently in prayer;
Alone upon the mountain top,
He met his Father there.

3. I want to be like Jesus,
I never, never find
That He, though persecuted was
To any one unkind.

4. I want to be like Jesus,
Engaged in doing good;
So that of me it may be said
"He hath done what he could."

5. I want to be like Jesus,
Who sweetly said to all,
"Let little children come to Me;"
I would obey the call.

6. But oh I'm not like Jesus,
As any one may see;
O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
And make me like to Thee.

*Golden Rules for a Happy Marriage – Built to Last, Grow, and Inspire*

1. *Talk Every Day* – Talk about everything and anything. True connection comes from open, daily conversations. Silence creates distance, but communication builds intimacy.

2. *Fight the Problem, Not Each Other* – You are on the same team. Disagreements are natural—just don’t let them make you enemies. Focus on finding solutions, not blame.

3. *Keep No Secrets* – Honesty isn’t just about truth; it’s about trust, safety, and unity. Transparency keeps hearts connected.

4. *Give More Than You Take* – Love isn’t a transaction, it’s a daily choice to serve, care, and uplift—without keeping score.

5. *Appreciate Loudly, Criticize Softly* – Praise in public, correct in private. Let your words be seeds of love, not wounds of regret.

6. *Don’t Let Ego Win* – Pride kills connection. Be quick to say “I’m sorry,” and even quicker to forgive. Humility saves what pride destroys.

7. *Touch Often* – A simple touch can say, “I’m here,” “I care,” “I choose you.” Never underestimate the power of physical closeness.

8. *Protect Each Other’s Dignity in Public* – Be their safe space. Defend their name, honor their presence. Loyalty is louder than words.

9. *Share Goals, Money, and Dreams* – You’re not just coexisting—you’re co-creating a life. Build together, plan together, dream together.

10. *Choose Love Daily* – Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a decision. Choose your partner again and again, even on the hard days. That’s where real love grows.

A great marriage isn’t found—it’s built, moment by moment, heart by heart.
