On security, the Secretary to the Government Prof. Atu said security reports available to the Government indicate that some criminal elements are planning attacks on some communities in the State during the yuletide season.
He said the Governor mandated the meeting to foster a more community-driven response to intelligence and surveillance so as to assist security agencies with useful information to enable them respond to any threat of attack by criminals.

GOVERNOR LALONG CONGRATULATES ITF DG, SIR JOSEPH ARI AT 60
Governor Simon Lalong has felicitated with Director General of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) Sir Joseph Ari on his 60th birthday.
Governor Lalong in a statement, described Sir. Joseph Ari as an achiever who has utilised every opportunity that God has offered him over the years to make positive impact in the lives of many.
Lalong said Joseph Ari has passed through the difficulties of life and patiently surmounted many challenges to rise to positions of leadership both in the Plateau State and the country.
He said “his performance as Director General of the ITF does not surprise us because he exhibited dexterity, diligence and loyalty during while he held various offices within the State structure before joining the ITF and eventually being appointed to head the institution. He has since turned around the fortunes of the organisation and repositioned it for higher job creation and manpower development”
Lalong said the Rescue Administration has continued to benefit from the partnership and collaboration with the ITF in fulfilling its mandate of economic empowerment through training thousands of youths and women in various vocations thereby reducing unemployment.
While wishing him more years of God’s protection, divine health and favour, Lalong urged Joseph Ari to continue using every opportunity to reach out to persons in need as he has done through the years.
Dr. Makut Simon Macham Director of Press & Public Affairs to the Governor of Plateau State. 21st December 2020.
Many Christians are shocked when I tell them that neither Christ nor any of His twelve apostles were Christians. Christianity is a religion ABOUT Christ-and other things.null
The religion that Christ practised while He was on Earth is Judaism. In Christ’s Day, Judaism was practised under different sects, some of which include Pharisees, Sadducees and Essenes.
To be specific, Christ is the Founder of the sect of the Nazarenes, which is the fulfilment of Moses’s prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:15.
The name Christianity originates from Acts 11:26, and we do not even know who originated it. It is most likely to have been the town’s people of Antioch
The sect of the Nazarenes was a very different thing from what came out of Rome after Ancient Rome became a Christian nation. In fact, many blatant lies have been told to try to legitimise what came out and is still coming out of Rome.
One of those lies is the story that Peter was the first Pope. That is such an obvious lie, and it shows the power of religious indoctrination that in the year 2020, people can believe such a ridiculous story. Investigate it for yourself. You are intelligent enough to do so. This is not a spiritual claim that you have to pray over for Holy Spirit guidance. It is a historical claim. So, interrogate it and see if it can stand scrutiny.null
There is absolutely no Scriptural, historical or physical evidence that Peter (whose real name was Cephas) ever even visited Rome. And even if he did, which is most unlikely, he could not have been a Pope or Bishop of Rome, because Rome was not even Christian in the lifetime of Peter.
Rome was Christianised in 313 AD by Emperor Constantine’s Edict of Milan. Up until then, Christianity was fledgeling in Rome.
In the lifetime of Peter, the sect of the Nazarenes was illegal in Rome, and the Roman Emperor had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. We see this in Acts 18:2:null
“There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them.”
We know that Paul and Peter wrote each other or read each other’s letters because Scripture supports that in 2 Peter 3:16. Paul was physically in the capital of the Roman Empire, Rome, as a prisoner, who was allowed to live freely in his own rented house for two years (Acts 28:20), during the times it was claimed that Peter was in Rome. Yet, Paul never mentions Peter, or his presence in Rome, in his accounts of his time in the capital of Ancient Roman.
Those who have floated this story have done so to legitimise all they have done in Peter’s name, knowing that Christ had named him as more or less His successor on Earth in John 21:17. They want to falsely draw from the authority Christ gave Peter in Matthew 16:18:
“And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.”null
It is very unwise to build your faith or form doctrines around claims that are not supported by Scripture.
Some people will say ‘how does this build faith?’ or ‘how does this edify (a favourite word they like to bandy about)?’
But is faith that is built on lies still faith? You can be sincere and still be sincerely wrong. That is why Christ said “you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”-John 8:32.
As long as you do not know the truth, you cannot be free, even if you are sincere. Take it from Christ. Not from me.
Acts 17:30 says “the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now commands all men everywhere to repent.”
God winked at ignorance when Scripture was not widely available, and most people could not read. But now we have the Word and we can read. We no longer have the excuse of ignorance. We can not leave Scripture and follow men.
Everything you need to follow Christ is in Scripture. Read it. Understand it. Believe it. And obey it. Christ died for you to have DIRECT access to God. You do not need a pastor, a priest, or a church to act as your intermediary because “through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.”-Ephesians 2:18.
You have access to God. Please take advantage of it. Stop saying ‘I am confused’ when you read things that attempt to open your eyes. That is one of the most beloved phrase of religious people, and sadly, especially in Black Africa. Too often, Black Africans refuse to apply themselves. We love to say ‘I am confused’ at the slightest challenge of our belief system.
But let our brother, or neighbour, or friend offend us, and we will apply our brains so astutely and strategically to plotting our revenge. Yet, we refuse to direct such focus to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”-Philippians 2:12.
Scripture is not hard or confusing. I have read it cover to cover multiple times, in numerous versions, and the original languages. It is a very straightforward book. What brings ‘I am confused’ is your religious indoctrination. Your dogma. Your programming.
Read Scripture as if your life depends on it, because it does. If you have read the complete works of Shakespeare, then you could have read Scripture cover to cover twice. If you have read all the Harry Potter books, then you could have read Scripture, cover to cover one and a half times.
Put in the effort. Reading Scripture by yourself will open your eyes. It will make your hate dogma and love God. Found your faith on the truth. On Scripture. Not on church traditions. Does it make sense to have abandoned your traditional religions only to adopt church traditions? Then why did you leave your traditions?
The sect of the Nazarenes later came to accept Gentiles after first Peter and later Paul preached and Gentiles accepted their doctrine.
However, here is the curious thing. The Peter, who some are falsely claiming was the first Pope, and in whose name they have promulgated all sorts of extra Scriptural practices, gave a judgment that Gentile believers, in addition to believing in Christ, were to keep only four practices:
“It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”-Acts 15:19-21
Notice that Peter gave a judgment that Gentiles should only abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from strangled meat and from blood.
Why did Peter do this? Because he wanted to make it easy for Gentiles to turn to God.
Now, ask yourself why those who have falsely appropriated his name have given you such a long list of dos and don’ts? Because they want to make it difficult for you to come to God. They want you to go through them.
Listen my brethren, the way of God is very simple. It is the way of satan and man that is complicated.
The things of God are simple but require discipline. The things of satan and man are complicated but require little discipline.
Peter gave a judgment to Gentiles. He did not mention tithes. He did not mention circumcision. He did not mention festivals. He just kept it simple. So, why have you allowed others to make it difficult?
Obviously, both Peter and Paul went on to give other counsel to the Gentile believers, including:
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.”-Hebrews 10:25.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”-2 Corinthians 9:7.
“Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see your pure and reverent demeanor.”-1 Peter 3:1-2.
“Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.”-1 Peter 3:7.
And finally, we must understand the way predators work. Take those who abduct children, for example.
They hardly approach the children and snatch them. Rather, they approach them and lie to them that they are friends to their parents and that their parents, or the government, sent them to pick the child from school. And children are very impressionable, so they believe the lies and follow the abductor.
This is the strategy used with the Chibok Girls, the Dapchi Girls and most recently with the Kankara Boys in Nigeria. This is the strategy used by many abductors in the United States.
And it is the same strategy used today by satan and his human agents. They come and tell you that they are from your Father in heaven and that He sent them to get you, and that you should listen to them and not Scripture.
But remember the warning from Scripture?
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!”-Galatians 1:8.
GOVERNOR LALONG SHOCKED OVER DEATH OF DG NIPSS PROF. GALADIMA
Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong says he recieved with shock the death of Director General of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) Prof. Habu Galadima.

He also did a lot to improve the physical infrastructure of the institution while strengthening the academic experience for all course participants. He will be greatly missed”.
He said Prof. Galadima over the years contributed a lot to the educational development of Plateau State having studied and taught at the University of Jos for many years before his appointment as the DG of NIPSS.
Governor Lalong prayed God to grant his soul eternal rest and comfort his family.
Dr. Makut Simon Macham Director of Press & Public Affairs to the Governor of Plateau State. 20th December 2020.
The Director General of the National Institute for Strategic Studies (NIPSS) Kuru, Jos Prof. Habu Galadima is dead. The Secretary and Director of Administration of the Institute Brig.-Gen. C.F.J Udaya (rtd), announced the development in a statement on Sunday in Jos. According to Udaya, Galadima, 57 died Sunday morning after a brief illness. “On behalf of the Board of Governors, Management and staff of the National Institute, we regret to announce the sudden demise of the Director General of NIPSS, Prof Habu Galadima. “This occurred this morning, December 20, after a brief illness. “He will be buried according to Islamic rites,” he said.
The Chairman of Plateau Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Very Rev. Fr. Polycarp Lubo has advised Christians to be united and live together in peace.
Lubo gave the advice at a Special Annual thanksgiving by the Ifemelumma Youth Club, a socio-cultural, on Sunday in Jos.
The CAN chairman is also the Parish Priest of St Michael’s Catholic Church, Anguldi, Jos, venue of the thanksgiving.
Lubo, who is the spiritual adviser of the group, said unity and togetherness would breed the needed development that the society desires.
He called on Plateau residents to join genuine groups and associations in order to foster unity in the society.
“Unity and togetherness is one of the key component of Christian life. Without unity there is no christianity “I have always encourage christians to join and identify with groups, by so doing, they will contribute their quarter toward a united Nigeria.
“When you join a a genuine group, you will checked; there is check and balances in every association. When you you didn’t, you become a lone ranger and that is not good for the society,”he said.
He, however, called on associations and groups to put christ at the centre of their dealings, and urged Christians to desist from joining secret cults.
On his part, Mr Ebere Iwuoha, President of the club, said that the thanksgiving was basically to thank God for protection over it’s members throughout the year 2020
DR. DAYYABU YUSUF GARGA THE FOUNDER OF DAYYABU GARGA FOUNDATION IS A MAN THAT BELIEVES IN GIVING BACK TO SOCIETY IS A DUTY.
“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by ‘I was hungry and you gave me food to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in. ‘’ Hungry not only for bread — but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing — but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks — but homeless because of rejection” ~ Mother Teresa
Man cannot live in isolation. So society plays a very important role in nurturing our lives. So it is our duty that when we become capable enough to earn our living we should give back to society a certain percentage of our wealth for the welfare of the lesser privileged. God has given us the talent and gift and it is our duty to give back to God by serving mankind. This is not charity, this is our social responsibility, our duty.
It is important to give back what we earn for the greater good of society. It’s our individual and collective responsibility of giving back to the society that deposited so much in us. You don’t have to possess a lot of money to make charitable donations and contributions, making an effort to touch someone’s life positively are a huge contribution.
At times, in giving back to the society in the biggest way, the smallest acts are the kindest and richest. Just like Malcom Bane wrote, “if you wait until you can do everything for everybody, instead of something for somebody, you will end up not doing nothing for nobody”.
Dr. Dayyabu Garga,the Walin Garga who I adorably call ‘Commissioner Dayyabu Garga’ has clearly showed his love for giving to the society. His act of giving according to his contemporaries, dates back from his youthful age. He has been one among equals who feels for people and loved to give than to receive.
The recent shower of love to some people who across the globe, students in form of scholarship, Medical Bills, business owners and a lot more informed my quest to put pen to paper.
His contribution and support shouldn’t be left untold. By way of giving scholarship to undergraduate and post graduate students, securing of jobs offers, Worships Place just to mentioned but a few across all boards is commendable and worthy of emulation.
His gestures are countless. Damn too numerous to mention. It’s not that Dayyabu Garga is the wealthiest being around this space on planet earth. No!
His unique trait of generosity makes him stand out. Without mincing words, I make bold to say Dayyabu Garga is God’s sent. I won’t end this piece without calling on others who God has given the capacity to give back to the society, to see giving as a duty and not charity.
I’m sure I’m not the only witness of his generous spirit who has a story to tell. But I owe it a duty to bear witness to the great attributes of this quintessential gentleman – mentor, teacher, leader, friend to many, high and low.
