Live in peace and pray for Nigeria – Yobe Council Chairman
By: Yahaya Wakili
The Chairman of the Caretaker Management Committee of Nangere local government, Alhaji Salisu Yarima, has called on the people of the local government to live in peace with one another and pray for the country, Yobe state, Nangere local government, and Tikau emirate council for peace and progress.
The chairman revealed this at Nangere Eid-el-Kabir praying ground in his Sallah message to the people of the local government area.
He said, Almighty Allah, bring us to rain season and call on farmers to go back to farming. He noted that there is something our farmers are doing that is wrong, namely, buying a farm in front of a cattle route or road, and warned them to desist from doing that.
Alhaji Salisu Yarima also calls on cattle rearers not to enter farms deliberately; let them live in peace with the farmers. There is a place where they allocated purposely for cattle routes.
“With the assistance of the World Food Programme (WFP), as such, we are not among the beneficiaries. Before, there were grants given to Fune and Jakusko local government areas; now the turn is for Nangere local government, Yarima said.
He urged the farmers and the people of the local government not to rely on this WFP food assistance and abandon the farm, noting that this is wrong; go back to the farm; this is something for empowerment; it will end.
“If you farm, you will get food to eat, and you will also get money to pay the school fees of your children, as well as to improve your economy, he said.
The chairman used the forum to call on the people of the local government to evacuate the drainage to avoid overflooding and outbreaks of diseases such as malaria, vomiting, daria, and others.
Alhaji Salisu Yarima also calls on the people to pray for our pilgrims to perform the hajj and return safely, and also pray for His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni to complete his second tenure successfully.

Tragedy struck in Kukurpu village, Kwajaffa District of Hawul Local Government Area, Borno State, where four children from the same family were confirmed dead after being found unconscious alongside their parents.
Zagazola Makama reports that the incident occurred on Thursday morning when neighbours raised alarm after several unanswered phone calls to the family’s head, 35-year-old Muktari Idrisa.
According to sources, a neighbour, Bukar Musa, eventually reached Idrisa’s wife, Maimuna, who revealed that everyone in the house was seriously ill and unable to stand.
The neighbours rushed to the residence and discovered Idrisa, his wife, and their four children lying unconscious.
The children were identified as: Idrisa Muktari, male, Hauwa Muktari, female, 9 years, Binta Muktari, female, 6 years and Saidu Muktari, male, 1 year.
Security forces and medical experts rushed to the scene. Doctors certified all four children dead on arrival, while the parents were admitted and are responding to treatment.
The corpses were deposited at the hospital mortuary before being released to relatives for burial according to Islamic rites.
Authorities say the cause of the incident is yet to be ascertained, though police say the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Maiduguri has commenced a full investigation.
The tragic development has thrown the quiet farming community of Kukurpu into mourning.
