Suspected gunmen, on Monday, killed one person, burnt a Baptist Church and abducted many students in preparatory class for their final year examinations in Damba-Kasaya village, Chikun LGA, Kaduna State.

A resident in the area, Musa Ademu said the gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on motorcycles, invaded Damba-Kasaya village, abducted many students, and burnt down a Baptist Church with its musical instruments

Another resident in the area, who do not want his name in print, told DAILYPOST Monday evening that the gunmen, who killed one person and abducted many of the villagers, later stormed popular Prince Academy in the village to abduct Junior Secondary School (JSS3) students receiving lessons preparatory to their final exams.

“The bandits came in large numbers like they always do and were shooting sporadically.

“Besides, the bandits also destroyed the musical and public address system worth thousands of naira in Aminchi Baptist Church, located in the community.

“They abducted many people in the village. Then they went to Prince Academy and abducted many of the students who were receiving lessons for their JSS3 exams.

“I cannot say how many people were kidnapped but they went away with many people.

“Soldiers who came to their rescue, turned back after some few kilometres, leaving some of the villagers who accompanied them to rescue the victims.

“The villagers, not knowing that the soldiers had withdrawn, kept pursuing the bandits in the bush, the bandits fired at them and one person was killed,” he said.

Kaduna State Police Command’s spokesman, ASP Muhammad Jalige could not pick his calls to confirm the incident.

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale Failure has a way of shaking the very foundation of our confidence. One moment, you believe in yourself; the next, doubt creeps in, whispering that you are not good enough, not smart enough, or not destined to succeed. But here is the truth many people never tell you: failure does not destroy confidence—how you interpret failure does. If you have failed recently, this is not the end of your story. It is the beginning of a wiser, stronger chapter. Understand That Failure Is Not Your Identity One of the most dangerous mistakes people make after failing is allowing the failure to define who they are. You didn’t fail because you are a failure. You failed because you tried. Every successful person you admire today has failed in one way or another. The difference is that they refused to turn a moment into a permanent label. Separate what happened from who you are. Your worth is not measured by one outcome. Al...

Growth Is Painful, But Stagnation Is Worse by Kneelyo Akinbowale

Growth is not a comfortable journey. It stretches you, challenges your beliefs, exposes your weaknesses, and forces you to confront versions of yourself you would rather ignore. Many people avoid growth not because they don’t desire progress, but because they fear the pain that often comes with it. But here is the truth many don’t like to face: while growth is painful, stagnation is far more dangerous. The Pain That Comes With Growth Growth demands change, and change rarely feels good at first. It may require you to leave familiar environments, let go of relationships that no longer serve your purpose, or unlearn habits that once kept you comfortable but now keep you stuck. Pain in growth shows up as: • Fear of the unknown • Temporary failure and embarrassment • Discipline over comfort • Sacrificing immediate pleasure for long- term fulfillment. This pain, however, has a purpose. It is the pain of becoming—of building strength, wisdom, and character. Just like muscles grow...

Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset: The Battle That Shapes Your Future by Kneelyo Akinbowale.

In life, success is not controlled by talent alone, background, or even opportunity. More often than not, it is controlled by how we think. The mindset you adopt determines how you respond to challenges, failure, criticism, and growth. Two dominant mindsets shape human behavior: the Fixed Mindset and the Growth Mindset. Understanding the difference between these two can change the direction of your life. What Is a Fixed Mindset? A fixed mindset is the belief that intelligence, talent, and abilities are permanent traits. People with this mindset believe they are either “good at something” or “not good at it,” and nothing can change that. Characteristics of a Fixed Mindset: • Fear of failure • Avoiding challenges • Giving up easily • Feeling threatened by other people’s success • Taking criticism personally • Believing talent alone leads to success Someone with a fixed mindset might say: •“This is just who I am.” •“I’m not smart enough for that.” •“I’ve tried befor...
