SIX PEOPLE KILLED IN ATTACK ON A CHURCH IN YOBE

           One year after: People pray near the graves of victims of the Madalla Christmas suicide bomb attack last year

Gunmen attacked a church in Piri Village of Potiskum Local Government area of Yobe state, this morning around 2am during a midnight mass which started on Christmas Eve, killing six people including the pastor, before setting the building ablaze. Eye witness accounts claim that the worshippers of ECWA Church, Piri, were in a prayer session when the unknown gun men suspected to be Boko Haram sect stormed the church killing six of them.

“A group of gunmen came into the village at midnight and went straight to the church.“They opened fire on them, killing the pastor and five worshippers. They then set fire to the church,” said Usman Mansir, a resident of Peri village near Potiskum in Yobe state. The Police Public Relations Officer in Yobe State, Salihu Adamu (DSP) who confirmed the incident. Piri is a village outskirt of Potiskum and predominantly an indigenous Christian settlement. 

This is coming just when families of the victims of St Theresa’s Church  Christmas day bombing in Madalla, Abuja, are remebering the relatives they lost in the suicide bomb attack last Christmas. This is wrong, Christmas shouldn't be a time to mourn. Can't wait for this country to go back to it's peaceful days.

SKUKI BROTHERS SET TO LAUNCH PEESHAUN CONDOMS

According to them, it's their way of giving back to the society and preaching about sex education to teenagers.
 
"We are great believers in the fact that the youth are the leaders of tomorrow and have to learn from a young age that if you can't abstain, you have to play safe. But not only that, we are looking at it from the concept of family planning, of teenage pregnancies and putting a stop to it. Every pregnant teenager in our society is another teenager that has to stop schooling in order to handle the situation they find themselves in. It goes way more than just the condom and sex part." - Skuki Brothers.

Great idea but it's not giving back to the society when users have to pay for it. That's called business.
