CHAPTER 4 The Connection - So there are two types of connections I would like to share with you.  The first type of connection is how you digitally connect the value we identified in chapter 3 with the person(s) we identified in chapter 2.  And the second type of connection we will discuss is how to mentally connect your brand with the person(s). --> READ THE BLOG POST HERE https://myempirepro.com/digital-marketing-certified-chapter-4-the-connection-content-creation/ --> WATCH VIDEO VERSION HERE https://youtu.be/nnXem7zRQBw Let's take it backwards a little bit.  In the previous chapter, we talked about value.   You learned how 85-90% of actions and acquisitions are initiated and triggered as emotional reactions; some justify with logic later.   We also reviewed a little about the motivation theories and how your competitors are probably selling products that have only 10% of the value you offer at 10 times of your prices.  And they are selling them almost effortlessly to people that may not be able to afford it ordinarily. We reminded ourselves of the six basic human needs, certainty, variety, significance, contribution, growth, and connection.  And we discussed how you can use it to almost seem like you are creating value out of thin air.   When your message or “the value” covers just three of these six needs, it will simply come off as stupid for your person(s) to pass on your offer. Every website, webpage, video, image, blogpost on your hubs need to be exchanging value with the users.  A part of value is the user experience.  How they feel as they travel that journey from discovery to conversion is your responsibility precisely because it's ultimately valuable to you and the business you are building. What you are offering may be the best in the market but we may never find out if whatever that is doesn't translate to what is valuable to your users.  It's not just the product; it's everything, even at the most micro-levels, that they will encounter in the process of interacting with your business; the experience. So we now have to expand a little bit on value creation to create and establish strong connections digitally and mentally with your person(s).  How do you show up in their dreams at night and stress the sh*t out of their sleep if they don't buy? 1995-1996…  Owo. Ondo State, Nigeria, West Africa.  I was a 15 or 16 years old teenager.  I would go visit my father in the office during the day where he was serving as a General Manager at his Uncle's company. I had been going to the office for a few years during holidays but I did it more after graduating high school.  I didn't go to University right away because we had opted for me to come back to the United States after 12 of my developing years in Nigeria.  I was at home for two years filling the gap of time; just waiting to secure accommodation in the States.  My father had wanted me to study Architecture; that was his dream.   But one day during another visit to his office, I found out becoming an architect wasn't my dream.  It was the first time a website was opened in front of me on a 3 piece-suite equipment; a personal computer.  The secretary at the office was testing it out and he would try numerous times to connect to the internet.   Thinking about it now, it was a painful process.. But not really because the frame of reference did not involve a broadband connection as we know it today.  It was exciting that he literally pulled up Toyota's website that never could load a full Toyota logo; the connection was too slow.  There was a blue placeholder but it was fascinating enough at the time.  I've never left computing since then. During that short break between high school and coming back to continue schooling and life in the States, I went over to the next biggest city, Akure, where I spent three months and became certified in Database Management. I shared this story with you to establish a connection between you and the fact that the internet has grown from about 40 millions users in 1995 to more than 5 billion users at press time.  If there are internet users increasing at that pace, that means that there are producers consistently connecting them to value increasingly and making stupid amount of money doing it. Most websites back in 1995 were designed to provide information and not initiate transactions.  But it's a different story today.  You can now buy a whole car on the internet and have it delivered to your home. Therefore it's no longer enough to show a logo, and the company's mission statement.  Many businesses still have websites that can't exchange money for product and services.  A lot of them felt the heat and disadvantage of that in 2020 when covid hit our world.   My business doubled in that particular year because I was positioned to serve that market right from home.  Sadly, many established businesses went under for not paying attention in all these years. You have created the right offer.  And you have done the market research, identified the right audience, the gurus and the brands they are presently following. In fact, you are already paying time and money to attract them as visitors to your website.  But the traffic is not converting to sales quickly enough for you.  And you figured, it's probably because you are just not getting enough traffic to the website. So you have to come up with more funds to buy marketing and advertising in the hopes that enough prospects will convert to customers.  Soon enough, you discovered that you are just multiplying your problems with money you don't have and garnering more debt. It's not working.  You quit and ran back to giving away free money to the agencies that still want to sell you newspaper and yellow book ads.  Do yellow books still exist? It is important to pre-design and pre-determine how you want to connect your value (the offer) to the person(s) based on what type of pre-framing the person(s) (the prospect) had been exposed to.   When your prospects know, like and trust you, they will buy without too much effort from you.  Forget about that; when they feel like they know, like and trust you, they will buy even more from you.  All of that is emotionally and mentally triggered if you know what you are doing. I call it the KLT factor.  Does the prospect feel like he or she knows, likes and trusts you?  If you can't answer that question, you are probably going to struggle with converting prospects to customers, clients and deals. We use a formula called the “I.L.S.D.T.R.R” to build your KLT factor (a.k.a brand equity) in the digital space.  The acronym stands for invest, learn, share, do, teach, refine and repeat.  Let's break it down. The idea is to build digital agents and leave thousands of your footprints everywhere in the digital space without burning your resources up while doing it.  If you follow me on social media, you can see us practicing what we preach with literally thousands of videos and articles everywhere. This is it.  I want you to INVEST time and possibly money in LEARNING, then SHARING what you are learning as often as possible via online videos, blogposts, infographic and more.  After that, you actually want to DO (execute on) what you are learning in order to create experience or tacit knowledge. If your business module permits it, you can build your business even faster by taking the sharing to the next level which is actually TEACHING from your knowledge and experience for a fee or more KLT factor and brand equity.   Then I want you to refine and repeat that process over and over again in order to create a massive web of nodes that link back to your hub.  When you do this, you will build a massive brand equity that makes it super simple to connect your value to your person(s).   All these digital agents that you are creating will work for you forever.  You couldn't erase them off the internet if you try to after a while.  And that is a good thing. This is what I meant earlier when I mentioned pre-framing the prospects ahead of actually presenting them with an offer.  The connection doesn't start at the sales presentation.  It starts before they even discover there is something to buy from you. How cool would it be if your prospects are already asking you where to sign up before knowing if you have anything to sell or not.  That's the outcome of orchestrating a strong connection of value with your audience upfront. By positioning yourself and your brand to help your audience by actually helping them, their minds are pre-framed to recognize your brand and business as their problem solver. Sure, a properly scripted sales presentation is still necessary because some of them may have skipped to that part in your customer journey.  But most of your time, energy and resource is best spent steering new prospects through a discovery point where you are actually helping them first before asking them to pay for something. They usually start off with a question to answer or a problem to solve.  Most people appreciate some useful information first before attempting to sell them on buying stuff. In fact, there is a sector of your market that price point is really not a determining factor in their decision making process to buy.   It boils down to the KLT factor and brand equity.  They need to feel like they know, like and trust you.  And then they will pull out a credit card if anything remotely looks like their problem is solved.   The return on investment in learning, sharing, doing, teaching, refining and repeating is literally infinite especially if you add consistency to it. In the world of digital marketing, we call this content creation.  The idea is to come up with topic ideas that will appeal directly to your ideal customers' needs.  So I want to share four idea sources that will help you generate more than enough ideas to invest time and possibly money in learning more about so you can share. Idea Source Number 1 - Write down 10 commonly or frequently asked questions that your ideal customers tend to ask.  If this is a business that you are qualified to serve in, it should be pretty simple. Let me give you a quick secret.  You could be learning the business at the same time, in real time and using these same content creation skills to attract a significant size of the market.  When you teach, you literally learn twice. Most people in any business end up complacent and never learning anything new for years.  But when you use this method to create thousands of connections and digital agents for prospects before getting to see your offer, you will remain at the top of your game. Idea Source Number 2 - For this one, come up with and write down 10 questions you would advise an ideal prospect to ask your competitors.  Of course, you want to make sure these are questions and problems that your content and products have answered and solved. Idea Source Number 3 - Identify 10 common problems that your ideal prospect faces.  It doesn't have to directly be linked to the problems that your product solves. But I want you to do it because the information you will provide in the content will actually serve an audience.  But in addition to that, you may end up creating a tangible and usable solution if the piece of content is attracting a big enough audience. Last but not least… Idea Source Number 4 - Invest time to learn about 10 common mistakes that an ideal prospect would or could make and share each one as a piece of content.  In addition to that, share tips on how to avoid the mistakes. I've used this same method of connection to build my business and the good thing about it; you can verify.  At press time, about 840 myEmpirePRO web pages are resulting and indexed on the Google Search Engine Results Page. (THE SERP).   And on another web property that I am building with my wife, LOLAandOLA.com, about 1,370 web pages of content are resulting and indexed.   I am not even talking about other search engines such as Yahoo, Bing and many others that thrive off of picking up your content and connecting them with potential prospects all around the world for free. 65.78% of our audience at myEmpirePRO in the last 28 days from presstime are coming from the United States. 13.46% are coming from China.  3.77% are coming from Canada.  The audience or traffic were connected from 48 different countries.  The beauty about digital marketing is the fact that you are also collecting tons of data with the various default activities of setting up and running these campaigns.  That's why I am able to share these results with you.  In fact, you can check it yourself. All you have to do is place this string ‘site:' before any site with no spaces between them and search.  For example, a simple search of ‘site:myempirepro.com' will show the top of the SERP (search engine results page) and it will show you how many pages have been indexed from the site. What about YouTube?  We've published 1,304 videos and they are all working in our favor to connect more prospects to our hub.  All these digital agents are not built overnight and they don't need to be built overnight.   In fact, all it takes is one good piece of content to create a $10,000 day.  But that also depends on what you are selling and your business model.  You just never know what answered-question would resonate with someone's deep pain.  The more you put out there, the better. In order to execute a massive connection, KLT and brand equity campaign, you have to create a main online hub where everyone comes to from all these different sources you will be putting out there.  The main hub is a content management system and I recommend good ol' Wordpress. On the internet today, we have websites designed to simply display information like the Toyota website from 1995 in that story I shared with you earlier.  But we also have websites designed to manage databases of content, users, and users' information.  We call them a content management system (CMS).   You have two options.  You can build and code your CMS with all the bells and whistles that makes it a robust system to create millions of dollars in online transactions from scratch.  The second option is what I recommend which involves leveraging existing tools and systems that allow you to customize with add-ons to perform even better than systems that are built from scratch. Which option do you think you should go with?  Okay.  That wasn't a trick question.  It's a simple question and it has a simple answer which is to leverage tools and systems so that you can get to making money as soon as possible. At press time, Wordpress powers a little more than 40% of the websites online and their content management system.  I recommend it because it works just like the iPhone and the Android phones.  It's an open source that allows vendors to continue to code additional features many of which you can leverage for free. That's why I recommend Wordpress in addition to the fact that I personally use it to manage my content marketing campaign.  But there are also two different kinds of Wordpress websites. Fully-hosted Wordpress website which is host at wordpress.com and  Self-hosted Wordpress website which means you are in full control of the features you attach to it. You will understand fully later many reasons why it is better to go with option number 2 in addition to the fact that you are able to control how you are branded online.   Brand control is non-negotiable as we move into the future because competition is increasing.  With a brand you create, you will eliminate a significant number of your competition because of brand loyalty; the same effect that Apple has on its customers. I recommend that you set up your self-hosted Wordpress hub with the company at this link for less than $10 per month. - myEmpirePRO.com/hosting  All of these you've learned thus far without setting them up as a system is just another job that will occupy your life with redundant activities and minimum wages.  So in the next chapter, we will talk about changing these new insights into an automated system that takes your prospects on a journey from discovery to conversion and a happy customer. By now, you are understanding slowly that setting up a website is just the bare minimum of digital marketing.  Most websites on the internet are a ghost land. No one is visiting them much less initiating a transaction. So there is a distinct difference between a digital marketer and a website designer or developer.  The former is a minimum of a 6 figure career as a job and a 7-9 figure income when you use this skill as an entrepreneur. The latter is darn near a minimum wage job.     With systems, you can scale a campaign beyond  what's possible when all you've got are linear operations involving humans at every segment.  You will learn about  different segments in a customer's life cycle and how systems can scale from 10 customers to 100 and to 1,000 customers being served simultaneously. The last thing I want you to do is know all this cool stuff only to get stuck behind a laptop for 16 hours a day.  While I definitely want you to understand the concepts that make this work, I will be sharing with you how to set, forget and collect on a regular basis leveraging the concept of systems..

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - At least 40 people — most of them children — died in a fire in a Coptic Orthodox church in Giza Governorate, Egypt, on Sunday, according to government and church officials. The cause of the blaze has so far not been established. Reuters reported that an electrical fire broke out at the church where people gathered during the Divine Liturgy celebration. The blaze reportedly blocked the exit from the church and caused a stampede. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252035/reports-of-at-least-40-people-most-of-them-children-killed-in-church-fire-in-egypt Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that he spoke with Pope Francis over the phone on Friday and thanked the pope for his prayers and humanitarian support. In a tweet posted on August 12, Zelenskyy wrote that he had briefed the pope on Russia's “horrible crimes” and aggression against Ukraine. “Our people need support of world spiritual leaders who should convey to the world the truth about acts of horror committed by the aggressor,” the Ukrainian president said. Pope Francis has repeatedly expressed his interest in a potential visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Pope Francis is scheduled to participate in September in the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in Kazakhstan, where he could potentially meet with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, who is expected to participate in the congress. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252031/in-phone-call-president-zelenskyy-thanks-pope-francis-for-praying-for-ukraine At least seven people have been arrested in connection with a devastating June massacre at a Catholic Church in Nigeria, the governor of Ondo State in the West African country has confirmed. Four of the arrests were made on August 1, according to General Lucky Irabor, Chief of Nigeria's Defense Staff. One of the arrested suspects is a high-ranking member of ISWAP — the so-called Islamic State in West Africa Province and a breakaway faction of Boko Haram, a group that at least one government official had blamed following the attack. Two other suspects were arrested Aug. 9, and Ondo State's governor, Arakunrin Akeredolu, reported that another person who housed the suspects before the attack was also arrested, Vatican News reported. It has not yet been announced if the suspects have been formally charged, and their names have not been released. On June 5, several gunmen attacked Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, Nigeria, killing at least 40 people and injuring scores more with bullets and explosives. The victims spanned in age from a 2- and a 3-year-old all the way to 85. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252029/arrests-made-in-nigeria-pentecost-massacre Today, the Church celebrates the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This significant feast day recalls the spiritual and physical departure of the mother of Jesus Christ from the earth, when both her soul and her body were taken into the presence of God. Although the bodily assumption of Mary is not explicitly recorded in Scripture, Catholic tradition identifies her with the “woman clothed with the sun” who is described in the 12th chapter of the Book of Revelation. Venerable Pope Pius XII confirmed this belief about the Virgin Mary as the perennial teaching of the Church when he defined it formally as a dogma of Catholic faith in 1950, invoking papal infallibility to proclaim, “that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/the-assumption-561

It was a Big Weekend, Lagos.

The Ondo State government says the call for self-defence by the Zamfara State government has again emphasised the importance of establishing state police to adequately tackle the insecurity bedevilling various parts of the country. Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu says the call by the Zamfara State government for citizens to arm themselves has shown the loss of confidence in the current security arrangement in the country. He accused the Federal Government of denying exigent regional security outfits the right to bear firearms, saying the security agencies in the country were overwhelmed and distracted.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - A Nigerian government official said Thursday that the insurgent group Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) is suspected as the perpetrators of a massacre at a Catholic church last week that left dozens dead. In the June 5 attack, gunmen opened fire on Catholic worshipers attending Pentecost celebrations at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, in southwestern Nigeria. Initial reports suggested that more than 50 people were killed, including children, and others injured. The official death toll for the attack currently stands at 40, with 61 injured people still in hospital. ISWAP is considered a breakaway faction of Boko Haram, another Islamic extremist terrorist group which has killed thousands of Christians and displaced millions of people in Nigeria and neighboring countries in recent years. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251507/nigeria-church-massacre-isis-affiliate-group-suspected-as-perpetrators-government-official-says Pope Francis' July trip to the African countries of the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan has been postponed for health reasons, the Vatican said on Friday. Pope Francis was planning to spend July 2-5 in the Congolese cities of Kinshasa and Goma, and July 5-7 in the South Sudanese capital Juba. The 85-year-old pope has been suffering from a painful inflamed ligament in his knee, limiting his ability to walk. He has been using a wheelchair during public appearances since last month. He is still scheduled to visit Canada on July 24-29. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251510/pope-francis-postpones-trip-to-democratic-republic-of-congo-and-south-sudan Washington DC authorities will allow a private pathologist to examine the remains of five babies the group claims it recovered from a DC abortion clinic. The pro-life group Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising said this spring that they had obtained 115 aborted babies from a driver for a medical waste company to bury them in a dignified way. Five of those babies appeared to be of late-term gestation. DC officials said the city's medical examiner would not perform autopsies on the five babies. Pro-life groups have expressed concern that the manner in which the babies died violated federal law. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251506/dc-aborted-babies-private-autopsy-ted-cruz-how-they-died Today, the Church celebrates Blessed Edward Poppe. He was one of 11 children born to a modest, pious family in Belgium. He was drafted to the military in 1910 and served as a battlefield nurse during World War I. His prayers to St. Joseph during that time led to the miraculous freeing of several prisoners of war. He was ordained in 1916 at the age of 25 and served as associate pastor, focusing his ministry to the poor, children and the dying. He also taught catechism and founded Eucharistic associations. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/blessed-edward-poppe-503

Security Concerns and measures were the main focus, as the security of the Nation continued to face crises by marauding killers who attacked a Church in Owo, Ondo State. Suspected to be armed militia, worshippers who were in Church on a Sunday Morning soon met their end, weeks after passengers were killed and kidnapped in the Abuja – Kaduna train. Dreamcity hosts, Tobore and Itunu described the incident as unfortunate and urged the security forces to be proactive in carrying out their duty, and hoped there is no deeper plot than the coordinated attacks on citizens of Nigeria. Some safety tips were listed by the hosts, some of which were: i. Always let people know where you are going and where you are. A lot of people have mysteriously gotten missing, and it was difficult or impossible to find them. ii. Limiting night movements, these are times when security measures must be taken seriously, this reduces the chances of being either attacked or ambushed by criminals. iii. People have also been advised to confirm interview addresses before going for interviews, if the interview location is difficult to locate or in an isolated area, go with someone you trust, or do not go at all. iv. The need to change your locks when you move into a new apartment. So that nobody has access to your property. These were some of the security tips discussed by the hosts to ensure that citizens are vigilant and stay safe.

In the June 5 attack, unidentified gunmen opened fire on Catholic worshipers attending Pentecost celebrations at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, in southwestern Nigeria. Initial reports suggested that more than 50 people were killed, including children, and others injured. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251467/nigeria-church-massacre-pope-francis-mourns-victims-of-unspeakable-violence In response to a federal court decision affirming the constitutionality of Oklahoma's death penalty protocol, Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City on Monday called on state lawmakers to end the death penalty. A US District judge had ruled against 28 Oklahoma death row inmates' argument that one of the drugs the state uses in its lethal injection protocol, the sedative midazolam, is an insufficient painkiller which makes the dying process severely and unconstitutionally painful. “No matter the decision of the court on Oklahoma's protocol, the use of the death penalty only contributes to the continued coarsening of society and to the spiral of violence,” Coakley said in a statement. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251468/okc-archbishop-calls-for-end-to-death-penalty-in-state-amid-court-decision-affirming-its-constitutionality Two Catholic priests martyred under the Ottoman Empire were beatified in Lebanon over the weekend. Father Leonard Melki and Father Thomas Saleh were Capuchin friars and missionaries in what is now Turkey who were arrested, tortured, and martyred by the forces of the Ottoman Empire in 1915 and 1917 respectively. Melki was given a choice: convert to Islam and be freed, or die as a Christian. Refusing to apostatize, the Lebanese priest was forced to march with more than 400 Christian prisoners into the desert, where he was killed “in hatred of the faith” on June 11, 1915. Saleh was arrested and sentenced to death after giving shelter to an Armenian priest during the Armenian genocide. Before his death, he said, “I have full trust in God, I am not afraid of death,” according to the Capuchin Order in Lebanon. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251464/catholic-priests-martyred-under-ottoman-empire-beatified-in-lebanon Today, the Church celebrates Saint Anthony Mary Gianelli.

*) Putin warns the West Russian President Vladimir Putin warns the West against sending long-range missile systems to Ukraine. His warning came as Russian forces claimed to have destroyed Western military supplies in their first such air strikes on Ukraine's capital in more than a month. Putin said all this fuss around additional deliveries of weapons to Ukraine has only one goal, that is, to drag out the armed conflict as much as possible. *) UK to give Ukraine long-range missile systems Britain says it will mirror the United States and send long-range missile systems to Ukraine. The UK Ministry of Defence said London has coordinated closely with Washington over its gift of the multiple-launch rocket systems to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression. *) Dozens dead in Nigeria attack Nigerian officials say at least 50 people are dead, and dozens of others are injured in Nigeria's southwestern Ondo State after gunmen opened fire inside a church. The attackers entered the church as the service got under way, firing live rounds on congregants before detonating explosives that were already planted inside. People who managed to escape were also shot by attackers waiting outside. Authorities have accused nomadic herdsmen of carrying out the attack as a warning to the local governor. *) Deadly fire in Bangladesh A massive fire swept through an inland container depot in southeastern Bangladesh, killing at least 49 people and injuring more than 300, local officials say. The fire broke out at a container facility early on Saturday at Sitakunda, 40 kilometres from the port city of Chittagong, triggering multiple container explosions after a huge blast at the site. The death toll could rise as some of the injured are in critical condition, according to civil service officials. And, finally… *) Zendaya's 'Euphoria' and 'Spider-Man' win at MTV awards Zendaya dominated the MTV Movie and TV Awards as her teen drama "Euphoria" and big-screen superhero blockbuster "Spider-Man: No Way Home" were voted best show and best movie respectively. Zendaya won best performance in a show for "Euphoria," HBO's often bleak and hard-hitting look at modern teen life, which also won offbeat awards for "best fight". "Spider-Man: No Way Home" - by far the biggest box office hit since the pandemic - won best movie. The film has earned almost $1.9 billion worldwide, and is the third -biggest hit for domestic theaters ever.

Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - At least 50 people were killed and others injured Sunday when gunmen attacked worshippers at a Catholic church in southwestern Nigeria. Gunmen reportedly fired at Catholic worshipers attending Pentecost celebrations and detonated explosives. The pontifical foundation Aid to the Church in Need denounced the “Pentecost massacre” on June 5 in Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, as “another terrorist act in Nigeria, one more on the long list of crimes against Christians.” The identity of the gunman is not yet known.

June 3 marked 100 days since the beginning of Russia's invasion that has left thousands dead. The United Nations estimates that nearly 7 million people have fled Ukraine following Russia's invasion, with many more displaced or stranded within Ukraine.

His comments come after he consecrated Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in March. At the end of May, he prayed the rosary for peace in Ukraine and around the world. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251457/pope-francis-ukraine-war-100-days Expectant mothers, babies, and their families can find comfort and encouragement alongside material help like cribs, diapers, and baby formula through the Saint Gabriel's Call ministry in Rhode Island.

With deep pain, anguish and outrage, we dedicate this special episode to Nigerian Catholics who were massacred when they gathered to celebrate Pentecost Mass at St Francis Church, Owo, Ondo State. This is a time for lamentation for Nigeria, a blessed land that has been turned into a killing field and a vast graveyard by irresponsible, insensitive, corrupt, and wicked office holders who neither love people nor fear God and who have destroyed Nigeria and produced and/or enabled the kind of inhuman Islamist young men who are terrorizing the land. We may never know those who committed this atrocity (because the law enforcement officers are often complicit in these crimes) and defied our land, but Nigerians know which religion and region continue to produce most of these 'unknown gun men.'  Nigerian Christians and church leaders are invited to declare a period of lamentation and mobilize for action against the kingdom of darkness that is engulfing Nigeria.

The leadership of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria would on Monday meet the South West Governors’ Forum as the seven-day ultimatum issued by Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, to herdsmen to vacate the state’s forest reserves expires.A source said the meeting was meant to find lasting solutions to the incessant killings, kidnapping, and crises between herdsmen and farmers in the region.the Ondo State Commissioner for Information, Donald Ojogo who confirming the meeting with Channels Television on Sunday via the telephone, said the meeting would hold by 12:00 noon tomorrow.Governor Akeredolu had last week ordered that the herdsmen should vacate all the forest reserves in the state.He also banned under-aged grazing, night grazing, and movement of cattle along the highways and within the cities in Ondo State.

The Federal Government countered that order saying herdsmen can’t leave the state almost 24 hours after Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu directed herdsmen to vacate forest reserves in the state within 7 days.

Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has ordered herdsmen to vacate the state's forest reserves within seven days.Akeredolu said in a statement posted to Twitter on Monday :“Today we have taken major steps at addressing the root cause of kidnapping, in particular, and other nefarious activities detailed and documented in security reports, the press and debriefings from victims of kidnap cases in Ondo State,” the statement reads. “These unfortunate incidents are traceable to the activities of some bad elements masquerading as herdsmen. These felons have turned our forest reserves into hideouts for keeping victims of kidnapping, negotiating for ransom and carrying out other criminal activities.”The governor gave the following orders saying, “All Forest Reserves in the state are to be vacated by herdsmen within the next 7 days with effect from today, Monday 18th January 2021. “Night-grazing is banned with immediate effect because most farm destruction takes place at night.“Movement of cattle within cities and highways is prohibited.“Under-aged grazing of cattle is outlawed.“Our resolution to guarantee the safety of lives and property within the state shall remain utmost as security agencies have been directed to enforce the ban.“In its usual magnanimity, our administration will give a grace period of seven days for those who wish to carry on with their cattle-rearing business to register with appropriate authorities.”Since the fall of Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, there is a massive trading of illegal weapons in the west African region. The International Crisis Group (ICG) reported that “in the first half of 2018, more than 1,300 Nigerians have died in violence involving herders and farmers”

The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) has declared incumbent Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of the All Progressives Congress (APC)as winner of the Governorship election in Ondo State.He scored 292,830 votes and defeated, Eyitayo Jegede of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) who scored 195,791.Idowu Olayinka, the returning officer of the election, said Akeredolu met all the conditions required to be declared the winner.“I hereby declare Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of the APC winner of the election and he is returned elected,” he said

Ondo State is having their own Governorship election on October 10, 2020. The Top cop in Nigeria Mohammed Adamu, the IGP, is vowing a repeat performance of the police force in the Edo Governorship election, in Ondo election also. The critical question going forward, is it actually the conduct of the police that made the Edo 2020 Governorship election thick?

In July 2019, we announced the imposition of visa restrictions on Nigerians who undermined the February and March 2019 elections. Today, the Secretary of State is imposing additional visa restrictions on individuals for their actions surrounding the November 2019 Kogi and Bayelsa State elections and in the run up to the September and October 2020 Edo and Ondo State elections. These individuals have so far operated with impunity at the expense of the Nigerian people and have undermined democratic principles. https://bit.ly/32vD96MWe're committed to working with the Nigerian government to strengthen democratic institutions and processes. Nigerians deserve free, fair, transparent & peaceful elections.

A month after the South-West governors launched Operation Amotekun, the Coalition of Northern Groups has presented the symbols of "Operation Shege ka Fasa". But, unlike the project of Amotekun that had governors and dignitaries from the South-West region in attendance, there were no remarkable personalities from the north at the unveiling of the symbol for " Shege ka Fasa".Operation Amotekun (Leopard) was established on 9 January 2020 by the six state governors of all the South Western states of Nigeria, namely; Lagos State, Oyo State, Ogun State, Ondo State, Osun State and Ekiti State.Shege ka Fasa, according to the group, is a security outfit that would help tackle kidnapping and banditry in the northern region.Representative of the group, AbdulAzeez Suleiman, acclaimed that the security set would be conventionally introduced in the weeks when all necessary legal processes might have been formally adopted and ratified by the northern states' governors.He stated that the northern region had struggled with myriad of challenges of dwindling economy, rising poverty and a crippling security situation in the last twelve years.“If the state governments and other leaders of the region fail to take action to protect the region the way their southern counterparts are doing, CNG is willing to follow through with all the processes of obtaining the required legal backing for the outfit from the relevant federal authorities," Suleiman said at the Arewa House Kaduna on Wednesday, February 5, 2020.“We resolved to formalise this request by writing to the governors through the Northern Governors Forum and to the leaderships of traditional, religious and cultural institutions in the region.“By this, today we unveil the symbols for the Shege Ka Fasa outfit which would be formally inaugurated in the coming few weeks when all necessary legal processes might have been completed or formally adopted and ratified by the northern state governors,” he added.
