Three children survive after bandits allegedly killed their parents and 3 older siblings in Kaduna

Three little children, Zipporah, Isaiah and their baby brother are the only survivors in a family of eight after armed bandits allegedly killed their parents and three olders siblings in Gonan Rogo, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Their rather sad story was shared by Alheri Magaji, of the Resilient Aid and Dialogue Initiative (RADi), an NGO which provides care and relief to internally displaced people of Southern Kaduna.

According to Ms Magaji, the bandits also shot their baby brother but he miraculously survived while Zipporah and Isaiah sustained machete wounds in the attack which occurred last year.

Magaji earlier disclosed that they have enrolled the two siblings in a school all thanks to donations from well meaning Nigerians.

“Today is one our happiest days at RADI. We dropped Isaiah & Zipporah off at Boarding School! Both parents and 3 older siblings were killed during an attack on their village of Gonan Rogo. If you remember the newborn baby shot 3 times, he’s their baby brother. From a family of 8, only 3 of them survived. Both of them were cut up pretty badly, and left for dead. They survived!” she shared.

“So we wanted to change their story. Can’t even say everything that has transpired in the last few months…it will be loooong! But we took a chance and we are here. This school would’ve cost us about N1.4Million a year, but the School heard their story and cancelled tuition fees on humanitarian grounds! Saving us almost N1 Million Naira. Then a donor pledged to pay their fees for 5 years, starting now.

“Isn’t God amazing?! God bless all those who help us do all we do. We can’t do anything without your prayers, your donations, your shares. Today we paid all other fees and bought what they need to be in school. Today…We dropped Zipporah & Isaiah off at boarding school.” she added.

On Children’s Day, May 27, 2021, Magaji visited the kids at school and confirmed that they are doing well, adding that Zipporah now smiles more since the brutal murder of her parents and siblings.

“We met Zipporah and Isaiah at Barau Dikko, being treated for cutlass wounds, hands nearly cut off. This is after the horror of seeing both parents and 3 older siblings killed and their baby brother shot several times. Well…their story is changing, thanks to our amazing RADi donor. Today was visiting/children’s day at their school and we went visiting. Since we met Zipporah, we have never seen her smile like today. They are both doing well and enjoying boarding school”

Watch video of President Buhari saying he “will treat people trying to destroy the country in their own language”

Nigerian social media was thrown into a frenzy recently when some tweets by head of states, President Muhammadu Buhari where he stated he’ll pay people who are trying to ruin the works of his administration in their own coin, was interpreted as him planning to recreate scenes from the Nigerian civil war.

One of the tweets by the President reads,

Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.

While some netizens believe the President was only expressing his displeasure with the criminal activities and security breaches that’s been happening in the country lately and his plan to dissolve it, others are convinced that the head of states has an agenda against “Igbo” people and his recent statement is proof of that.

There were however speculations as to whether or not it was the president who made the controversial tweets but a video that’s been shared online shows the president saying the exact same words in the tweets.

“I have always felt that western wedding traditions sideline the mother of the bride” – Renowned Writer, Chimamanda Adichie shares an interesting post

Popular Nigerian writer, Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie, has reflected on the “western wedding traditions” and she feels like the mother of the bride is always relegated or sidelined during the wedding.

According to Ngozi, the father is made to give a speech, walk the bride down the aisle and also have the first dance with her. Often times, the mother of the bride does not partake in this heartwarming activities and it might not be a fair practice.

Her post reads ;

I have always felt that western wedding traditions sideline the mother of the bride — the father walks the bride down the aisle, the father has the first dance with the bride, often the father gives a speech while the mother doesn’t. ⁣

Our wedding, many years ago, was small and lovely, just as we wanted it. I asked family and friends not to post any photos publicly. I wanted privacy. But my need for privacy is now superceded by my desire to publicly honour the rare and wonderful woman I called my mother. And I hope this perhaps inspires any young women (and men) out there who are questioning any kind of convention.⁣

Before the wedding, I decided that both my parents would walk me down the aisle. And I decided that my first dance would be with my mother. My father, who I often teasingly called DOS for “Defender of Spouse,” was very supportive. He wasn’t much of a dancer – I inherited his unrhythmic genes – but my mother was. And my mother’s joy on that day was a gorgeous glowing thing.⁣

Convention is something made up by somebody and then repeated by others. If convention feels wrong for you, if your skin bristles and your spirit stalls at the thought of doing something “the way it is done,” then stop and act.⁣

We can make changes. We can try and craft small slices of the life we want. ⁣

We can unmake convention to make things more just, more complete, more beautiful.⁣

Not everyone will be happy with you, because it is human nature to try and conserve things as they are, but your spirit will feel full, and there is nothing more meaningful than knowing you have been true to yourself.

Nigerian music mogul, Innocent Ujah Idibia popularly known as 2Baba, has disclosed why he married his wife, Annie Idibia.

It can be recalled that 2Baba who exchanged the forever commitment vow with Annie in 2012, already had 5 children from his previous relationship with other women.

However in an interview with DJ Anyaloko, the African queen crooner shared the reason he married Annie.

He said,

“You see Annie is from an average background like myself. We both started from nothing. She stuck by me through it all. When there was no car she hopped on bikes, took the bus, and trekked with me. When there was no money or house or hit song or millions of albums sold or big awards and accolades.”

“When I used to repeat just 3 sets of clothes, she would always hold my head, look me in the eyes and tell me things will be fine one day. When I wasn’t handsome, she would call me her prince charming. When I wasn’t celebrated, she called me her king and said she is my number one fan and to this day, she still is.”

“Even when I made it big as a musician and started misbehaving and controversies almost destroyed my career, she would go down on her knees and pray to God to show me the way and give me victory over my enemies.”

“Now if am still that small boy struggling to make it like every other young chap on the streets of Lagos, do you think a doctor, a lawyer, and a multi-millionaire businesswoman would want to look at me or even have my kids? No, so to answer your question, I did not choose who had more to offer me, I chose Annie because she offered me her all when we had very little”.
