Law enforcement agencies in Benue State have made significant arrests of armed suspects linked to recent violence in the Otukpo and Naka areas. These operations are a crucial step toward restoring peace after deadly attacks that caused loss of lives and displaced many residents.

The Otukpo/Naka region has long experienced communal conflicts fueled by land disputes, political rivalries, and resource struggles. The recent massacre shocked the nation, with reports of gunmen attacking villages and targeting civilians indiscriminately.

Hello everyone,

My elder brother is considering seeking asylum in Ireland. He recently confided in me about his struggles here in Nigeria, including repeated business failures and the current economic hardships. Frustrated, he has decided to pursue asylum as a way out.

I have tried to encourage him to be patient and explore other options, but he is determined to go ahead. I am here to ask for advice and information on the asylum process in Ireland.

Specifically, I would like to know what it takes to apply for asylum, whether age is a factor (he is over 40), and what steps he needs to take to enter the asylum system. Any guidance or experiences shared will be highly appreciated so I can better support him through this decision.

Today at the Complex, I met a girl who kept stealing glances. She looked familiar, but I wasn't sure where I knew her from. Then, she approached me stylishly and struck up a conversation. Women really know how to break the ice.

She asked for some advice, which I gave casually. Later, she inquired if I attended a specific school and if I knew someone from there. Noticing the rosary inside my shirt, she mentioned she had associated my face with being 'a rosary guy.' Turns out, she knew me all along.

It's funny how small details about us become memorable markers for others. I miss meeting new people every day. Since recovering from my injuries, I haven't had much opportunity to socialize or give tech advice within the community. I cherish those memories and look forward to reconnecting.

Meeting people, sharing stories—those moments are truly special. I hope to get back to it soon.

I lost my Nigerian passport in 2016, and it has since expired. I was advised to obtain a police report and a court affidavit to apply for a lost passport. I want to know if, after paying for the re-issuance, I will need to pay again for the original lost passport. Will I receive the expired passport back, or will I be issued a completely new one with a fresh expiry date? Or will I get the old one replaced? I would appreciate any insights from anyone who has gone through this process before. Thank you.
