It was reported that seven members of the National Youth Service Corps drowned in a river southeast of Taraba State, with two others feared dead, according to police reports.. Pictured is the moment three of the corps members at the riverside picnic before the mishap. 

The corps members were on a swimming expedition in River Mayo-Selbe, a major tributary of the Benue River, when a water surge from a nearby mountain collapsed on them and swept them into the massive river.

The incident occurred in Gashaka Local Government Area, where all the corps members affected were posted to serve.

It was reported that the corps members were initially blown away by the heavy gush, but five of them were rescued before it was too late.

Seven bodies, comprising two females and five males, were recovered between Saturday and Sunday. Search and rescue efforts are still underway for the remaining two as at Monday morning, but the police feared they were already dead.

  We Are Hungry" - Umar Faruq, The Emir Of Daura
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 08-07-2018, 12:34 PM - Replies (1)

Quote:The Emir of Daura, Dr. Umar Faruq Umar, has raised the alarm over lack of support for the people of the emirate from the centre despite their son being the president of Nigeria.

The traditional ruler added that the people of the community are “hungry”.

The Emir made this known on Monday when Minister of Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbeh, paid him a courtesy visit while on a working visit to the state.

He said that President Muhammadu Buhari is known for his principles and will not influence siting of projects in the area but appealed to the President’s appointees to do the needful.

The Emir specifically accused Buhari’s ministers of not doing enough to assist Daura with a viable project.

“Buhari by his nature will not influence the siting of any projects in Daura. But his Ministers who benefitted from his appointment should reciprocate by bringing developmental projects to Daura, his birth place.

“It is a call to duty for the Ministers to make provision in their Ministry’s budget of ensuring that Daura benefitted immensely from Buhari administration.

“If the Ministers failed to site any projects to Daura, they have betrayed the President and people of Daura.

“Like the Rice production in Kebbi State. Katsina has prospects in rice production and irrigation farming.

“Katsina has dams and irrigation sites like Sabke, Jibia, Zobe, Daberan, Mai Ruwa dams and if utilized and reciprocated has potentials of feeding the state and it’s neighbours.

“I urge you to go back, look inwards and search for what, how you can assist people of Daura. Daura is faced with absence of projects for its development and its people are hungry and need federal government’s assistance.”

Responding, Ogbeh said the ministry will look into the issue of establishment of a rice mill as well as providing improved seeds to create jobs in Daura emirate.

Earlier, Ogbeh said that his ministry had kicked off a plan to establish a tomatoes farm and processing plants that will create about six thousand (6,000) jobs for farmers growing tomatoes.

He said that the project would stop importation of tomatoes in the country.

  Arsenal's Stan Kroenke makes offer to buy whole of London club
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 08-07-2018, 12:11 PM - No Replies

[*]
  

[Image: _102856135_kroenke_body_getty.jpg]
Kroenke believes owning 100% of the club will benefit Arsenal
Arsenal's majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has made a £600m offer to buy the whole of the club in a deal that would value the Gunners at £1.8bn.
The American billionaire owns 67% of Arsenal through his company KSE, which says Alisher Usmanov has agreed to sell his 30% stake in the club.
A KSE statement to says taking the club private will help to further Arsenal's "strategy and ambitions".

The buy-out announcement was made to the London Stock exchange on Tuesday.
Despite his shareholding, Usmanov is not part of the board or the decision-making at Arsenal.
The metal magnate made a £1bn bid to buy the Emirates outfit in May 2017 but this was rejected by Kroenke.
The statement to the stock exchange added: "KSE's ambitions for the club are to see it competing consistently to win the Premier League and the Champions League, as well as the major trophies in the women's senior game and at youth level."
KSE said that under "its stewardship since 2011 the club has invested in major transfers, player contracts, analytics, senior non-playing football management employees" and it "expects the club to build on those investments".
Arsenal have a new manager in charge this season after Unai Emery took over from Arsene Wenger, who had been Gunners boss for 22 years.
In Wenger's final season, Arsenal finished sixth in the Premier League as they missed out on the Champions League but qualified for the group stages of the Europa League.
The Gunners start their Premier League campaign against champions Manchester City on Sunday.
'A dreadful day for Arsenal' - fans' reaction
While Kroenke says taking sole ownership will benefit the club, the Arsenal Supporters' Trust (AST) called the news "a dreadful day" for the Gunners.
"Stan Kroenke taking the club private will see the end of supporters owning shares in Arsenal and their role upholding custodianship values," said an AST statement.
AST added that by becoming the 100% owner, Kroenke would be able to take "detrimental actions" such as paying "management fees and dividends without any check or balance".
It added: "The AST is also extremely concerned to note that this purchase is being funded by a loan.
"The AST is wholly against this takeover which marks a very sad day for Arsenal football club."
Analysis - what does single ownership mean?
Rob Wilson, football finance expert at Sheffield Hallam University
There are two sides to this and from a fans' point of view you like to have a bit more transparency - when there is more than one person involved you get a broader discussion about what you should do, who you should buy and how much to spend on particular people.
When you have this single ownership, particularly when it will be set up in the United States, it lacks a bit of transparency.
There will be big dividends getting paid out from the football club as a profit maximising entity, but for Arsenal that's not really any different to what they have had for the past 10 or 15 years with Usmanov and back when Farhad Moshiri (former shareholder and Everton co-owner) was involved.
The only thing that concerns me is it's going to be a leverage buy-out, so he's going to have to borrow to be able to do it. Depending on which side of the fence you're on will determine whether you see that as a positive or a negative thing.
From a purely business point of view, it's not a bad model. It's like you or I buying a house, taking out a mortgage, if you maintain those payments against those loans or however you borrowed then it is not a problem.
While the leverage is there that would have to be paid back, I don't think it will limit the activity Arsenal will be able to undertake in the transfer market as the reality is in order to make that business profitable, you have to be finishing in the top four and going into European competition.
What are the details of the offer?
Kroenke will be raising the capital to take control of the club with £45m of his own money and borrowing £557m, which he says will not be against the club.
"The offer is not being funded by way of any debt finance (bank loans, payment in kind loans or other debt or quasi debt interest bearing obligations) for which the payment of interest on, repayment of, or security for any liability (contingent or otherwise) will depend on the business of Arsenal," said the statement.
In the offer document, each of Arsenal's 62,217 shares are valued at at £29,419.64.
KSE currently has 41,743 of those, with Usmanov holding a stake of 18,695, which would be worth £550m under the offer.
Aquiring Usmanov's shares would move KSE past the 90% threshold whereby they could compulsorily be able to purchase the remaining 1,779 shares, which are valued at £52.3m.
Apart from Arsenal, Kroenke's "family portfolio" of assets also include NFL side Los Angeles Rams, the NBA's Denver Nuggets, the NHL outfit Colorado Avalanche, MLS side Colorado Rapids and Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League.

Emmanuel Amuneke named new Tanzania coach

The former Super Eagles and Barcelona forward’s target, will be to get the Taifa Stars Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign back on track.  Tanzania are in group L of the 2019 Afcon qualifiers alongside Uganda, Lesotho and Cape Verde

Nigeria’s football legend Emmanuel Amuneke, has been appointed the new head coach of the Tanzanian football team.
[Image: Emmanuel-Amuneke-named-new-Tanzania-coac...asnews.jpg]Share
47-year-old Amunike who signed a two-year deal to take over from Salum Mayanga who was sacked for poor results, led Nigeria U-17 team to World Cup glory in 2015 and has managed several clubs including Sudan’s Al Khartoum, Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hazm amongst others.
The former Super Eagles and Barcelona forward’s target, will be to get the Taifa Stars Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign back on track.  Tanzania are in group L of the 2019 Afcon qualifiers alongside Uganda, Lesotho and Cape Verde.
They are currently joint second in the group standing with Lesotho after both teams played out 1-1 draw in the first round of matches. Uganda leads the group with three points as they defeated Cape Verde away from home.
The appointment of Emmanuel Amuneke as Tanzania’s Coach has also been hailed by FIFA. Amuneke, recently worked with FIFA as a member of the Technical Study Group at the just concluded World Cup in Russia.

“He scored twice for the Super Eagles at the 1994 World Cup. Now Emmanuel Amuneke will take the reins as manager of Tanzania,” FIFA posted on their Twitter handle.
In his early career, Amuneke won the domestic league titles in Nigeria and Egypt, while playing for Julius Berger F.C. and Zamalek SC respectively. In 1994, he signed for Sporting Clube de Portugal, scoring seven league goals in his first season, including one against S.L. Benfica in the Lisbon derby (1–0 home win on 1 December 1994), adding the campaign’s Portuguese Cup.
In the 1996 December transfer window, Amuneke was bought by La Liga giants FC Barcelona for $3.6 million, making his official debut on the 22nd in a 1–0 home win against Celta de Vigo,[2] and scoring on 16 March of the following year in a 1–0 success at CD Logroñés. On 23 December 2008, Amuneke took over the head coaching duties at former team Julius Berger, after completing two years of coaching courses in Europe.For a while, he combined this position with the role for the Red Devils, but eventually quit his post in England to concentrate on his coaching career.

Twin sisters marry twin brothers in twinsburg town, by twin ministers

The Sun reported that the brothers both popped the question at the same time and even the date of the proposal was also a nod to their connections – February 2
Twin sisters, Brittany and Briana Deane, in a wedding ceremony officiated by identical twin ministers in a town called Twinsburg, said ‘I Do’ to twin brothers Josh and Jeremy Salyers.
[Image: Twin-sisters-marry-twin-brothers-in-twin...asnews.jpg]
The Sun reported that the brothers both popped the question at the same time and even the date of the proposal was also a nod to their connections – February 2. Josh and Jeremy Salyers, 34, met twin sisters Brittany and Briana Deane, 32, last August when they all attended a festival for twins in the town in Ohio, USA.
Disclosing that they had an instant connection,  Briana has now married Jeremy, while her sister Brittany married Josh. The ‘Twice Upon a Time’ themed nuptials took place as part of the 2018 Twins Days Festival. The 32-year-old sisters fittingly wore identical dresses while the brothers, 34, sported matching tuxedos.
[Image: Twin-sisters-marry-twin-brothers-in-twin...55x410.jpg]
“It’s really been a fairy tale come true. Marrying twins is something that’s very important to us,” Briana (who married Jeremy) told PEOPLE, describing the ceremony as a “double fairy tale.” “Even when we were little girls I can remember being in kindergarten, knowing that that is what we saw for ourselves.”

Brittany adds: “We knew that the chances were incredibly scarce. The stars had to align for our dreams to come true. I get to marry the man of my dreams and at the same time I get to look over next to me and see my twin sister marrying the man of her dreams.”
[Image: Twin-sisters-marry-twin-brothers-in-twin...11x410.jpg]

And Jeremy said: “You know when you know. We’ve always known our whole life if we were going to be married that it was going to be with twins.”
The couples now plan to all live in the same house and raise their children together. Brittany, who also works with her sister in a law firm, said: “We imagine it will be like two mums and two dads.”

  Abuja Records 30% Decline On Tenancy Fees
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 08-07-2018, 10:25 AM - No Replies

https://leadership.ng/2018/08/07/abuja-r...ancy-fees/

Quote:By CHIKA OKEKE

There are indications that the nation’s capital, Abuja, is currently witnessing appreciable decline in payment of tenancy fees. LEADERSHIP findings showed that there is a 30 percent decline in the rent in major areas of the FCT including some high brow areas.

Our correspondent reports that drastic change in purchasing power of most middle and low income earners which led to the increased number of unoccupied houses in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), could be partly responsible for the drop in rental value.

Statistics revealed that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) currently has over 7 million population that were not hitherto captured in the master plan.

Regrettably, the low income earners who constitute over 80 percent of the workforce in the city are battling to meet up with their tenancy fees. Further investigation by LEADERSHIP revealed that default in payment of annual rental fees as agreed between landlords and tenants cuts across every location in the FCT except the slum settlements where houses are poorly priced.

According to findings, in satellite towns of Kubwa, Lugbe and Jikwoyi, the inability of tenants to meet up with their rental obligation have forced few landlords to cut down the rent by significant percent even though some inflated the fees, citing economic reasons, old tenants maintained the old rent while the new tenants benefitted from the cut.

For instance, a one room self-contain that was rented for N250, 000 to N300, 000 in 2016, now goes for between N200, 000 and N250, 000. Also, a 1-bedroom flat now goes for between N400, 000 to N500, 000 while a 2-bedroom flat goes for between N600,000 and N700, 000 depending on the location and facilities available in the property as against the initial price of N450, 000 or N550, 000. However, the major crux of the matter is the default in payment of rent.

It was also discovered that landlords have been forced to collect the annual rents in two or three batches as tenants battled to contend with the economic hardship.

One Mrs Martha Joshua, who resides in Aco estate, Lugbe area of the FCT commended her landlord for accepting the rental fees in two batches, describing him as a man with a heart of gold.

Also, one of the landlords who preferred anonymity said that instead of leaving the house vacant for a long time, he has reduced the rental fees to accomodate new tenants, saying that he warned them never to disclose it to the old tenants.

“This is because of the state of economy and instead of living the houses vacant, I collected the rent in two to three tranches,” he said.

The default is also minimal in highbrow areas of Maitama, Asokoro, Gwarinpa, Wuse 2 among others, a situation that has led to growing number of completed and vacant houses. An on the spot assessment revealed that over 30 percent of the houses in these areas are vacant while some remained unoccupied since it was completed in 2015.

For instance, a room self-contain that was hitherto rented for N300, 000 to N350, 000 in 2016, now goes for N400, 000 to N550, 000 depending on the type of facilities in the houses.

The same rule applies to other categories of housing in the area, even as old tenants have splitted the rental fees into two to three tranches in order to meet up with other pressing needs. They said this has further forced many civil servants to seek alternative shelter at the suburb or slum settlements.

A resident of Gwarinpa in Abuja, who gave his name as Mr Kennedy wondered why federal government could not pass a law mandating landlords to create uniform rates in all the houses.

He called on FCT administration to seek for alternative means of building for low income earners. A Cross section of stakeholders who spoke with LEADERSHIP described the decline in payment of tenancy fee to the wobbling economy even as they pegged the sharp drop at over 40 percent.

Managing director of Justin Okpu & Co limited, a facility management company, Prince Justin Okpu said that since rental fees are artificially fixed, tenants could no longer meet up with their obligation. “The prevalent fees do not reflect the actual currency of the economy and failure of tenants to pay has affected rental responsibilities like renovation of the houses.

Okpu listed the implications of default in rental payment as overbearing pressure on the courts brought by landlords and tenants dispute, biased justice on dispute issues, high rate of vacant properties, increase in redundancy in real estate investments.

He said this would lead to a shortfall in the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) even as he pegged the decline on payment of rent to 40 percent. He emphasised that low-wage regime among the able work-force of the population and high rate of unemployment are the major reasons for the decline.

The expert said that high-rate of rental default are more prevalent in high-brow areas and middle-class neighbourhood as well as some sizeable number of low-income neighbourhood. In his contribution, a former president of Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP), Tpl.

Steve Onu stated that the decline in tenancy rate is as a result of low disposable income and very high rental outlay. He noted that the implication for the built sector is that there would be low rate of returns to the property owners as well as high vacancy rates.

A developer, Arc Adewunmi Towolawi Okupe noted that if the cost of houses are moderate and targeted towards particular income group, affordable housing would be achievable.

He stated that a tenant who lived in a rented apartment for over 20 years must have paid more than enough to build the house. Okupe blamed the decline on the ailing economy which has adversely affected household income as well as rental capacity of tenants.

‘I want my son to have a high emotional IQ’- Beyonce opens up on Vogue September issue

From selecting 23-year-old Tyler Mitchell to be the first black man to shoot the magazine’s cover, to writing personal essays detailing her personal and professional failures and triumphs, she left no stone unturned

Beyonce who was featured on Vogue September issue, opened up about her family and how she’s raising her children.
[Image: I-want-my-son-to-have-a-high-emotional-I...asnews.jpg]
in the interview with Clover Hope, Beyonce talked about her ancestry, her journey and her heritage. From selecting 23-year-old Tyler Mitchell to be the first black man to shoot the magazine’s cover, to writing personal essays detailing her personal and professional failures and triumphs, she left no stone unturned.
On her journey, Beyonce said;

I come from a lineage of broken male-female relationships, abuse of power, and mistrust. Only when I saw that clearly was I able to resolve those conflicts in my own relationship. Connecting to the past and knowing our history makes us both bruised and beautiful.
I researched my ancestry recently and learned that I come from a slave owner who fell in love with and married a slave. I had to process that revelation over time. I questioned what it meant and tried to put it into perspective. I now believe it’s why God blessed me with my twins. Male and female energy was able to coexist and grow in my blood for the first time. I pray that I am able to break the generational curses in my family and that my children will have less complicated lives.

[Image: I-want-my-son-to-have-a-high-emotional-I...37x410.png]Share
On becoming the woman she is today, the mother of 3 said;

There are many shades on every journey. Nothing is black or white. I’ve been through hell and back, and I’m grateful for every scar. I have experienced betrayals and heartbreaks in many forms.
I have had disappointments in business partnerships as well as personal ones, and they all left me feeling neglected, lost, and vulnerable. Through it all I have learned to laugh and cry and grow.
I look at the woman I was in my 20s and I see a young lady growing into confidence but intent on pleasing everyone around her. I now feel so much more beautiful, so much sexier, so much more interesting. And so much more powerful.
[Image: I-want-my-son-to-have-a-high-emotional-I...36x410.png]

On the legacy her mother Tina passed on to her and the one she intends to pass on to her children, Beyonce said;
My mother taught me the importance not just of being seen but of seeing myself. As the mother of two girls, it’s important to me that they see themselves too—in books, films, and on runways.
It’s important to me that they see themselves as CEOs, as bosses, and that they know they can write the script for their own lives—that they can speak their minds and they have no ceiling.
They don’t have to be a certain type or fit into a specific category. They don’t have to be politically correct, as long as they’re authentic, respectful, compassionate, and empathetic. They can explore any religion, fall in love with any race, and love who they want to love.
I want the same things for my son. I want him to know that he can be strong and brave but that he can also be sensitive and kind. I want my son to have a high emotional IQ where he is free to be caring, truthful, and honest. It’s everything a woman wants in a man, and yet we don’t teach it to our boys.
I hope to teach my son not to fall victim to what the internet says he should be or how he should love. I want to create better representations for him so he is allowed to reach his full potential as a man, and to teach him that the real magic he possesses in the world is the power to affirm his own existence.

[Image: I-want-my-son-to-have-a-high-emotional-I...51x410.png]
She also spoke about freedom;

I don’t like too much structure. I like to be free. I’m not alive unless I am creating something. I’m not happy if I’m not creating, if I’m not dreaming, if I’m not creating a dream and making it into something real. I’m not happy if I’m not improving, evolving, moving forward, inspiring, teaching, and learning.

Kenyan student steals money from mother’s bank accounts to spend with her boyfriend

It was gathered that a Barclay’s Bank’s CCTV, captured the two love birds leaving the bank after withdrawing the money. The boyfriend would later threaten the mother of his girlfriend (Mrs Milka Chebosisi Sitati) of thorough beating if she would talk of it
A Kenyan student Cynthia Cherop, has pleaded guilty to stealing from her mother’s two bank accounts to spend with her boyfriend.
[Image: Kenyan-student-steals-money-from-mothers...asnews.jpg]
Cherop who is a student of Moi University, was accused of stealing KSh70,000 from her mother’s two accounts at the Barclays and National banks. She pleaded guilty to stealing the money and spending it with Josephat Ng’ang’a. The Kenyan student also told the court that she bought second hand (mitumba) clothes for her business.
It was gathered that a Barclay’s Bank’s CCTV, captured the two love birds leaving the bank after withdrawing the money. The boyfriend would later threaten the mother of his girlfriend (Mrs Milka Chebosisi Sitati) of thorough beating if she would talk of it.
Ng’ang’a denied the attempts of assaulting Ms Cherop’s mother, and was released on a Sh30,000 cash bail. State prosecutor Solomon Naulikha asked the court to treat the accused as a first offender and was not opposed to her being ordered to serve probation term.
Passing a judgement on the case brought before him, Chief magistrate Francis Andayi said it was unfortunate that the accused stole the money to spend with her boyfriend whom her mother did not approve of.
Kenyan local news platforms reported that while Cherop’s mother pleaded with the court to jail her daughter after she pleaded guilty, Ms Sitati’s brothers however pleaded with the court to release Cherop to them, since her mother did not want to see her. According to them, they wanted her to continue attending college.
Stunned with the plea, the magistrate who directed that a probation report be brought in court on August 2, asked Cherop:

“What have you done to your mother for her to hate you this much?”
However on her own part, Cherop disclosed that her mother disliked her Kikuyu boyfriend and wanted them to part ways.
‘My mother disliked my boyfriend and had vowed to do everything to ensure we break up that is why she brought me to court. she said my boyfriend was a short kikuyu man with a small ‘kanyamu’ (manhood) and that she was ready to get me another strong boyfriend,” she said amid vigorous sobs as court orderlies and public listened in disbelief.’

  Churches have defrauded people by ‘forcing’ them to pay tithe — Rev. Dr Dan Owusu Asi

Churches have defrauded people by ‘forcing’ them to pay tithe — Rev. Dr Dan Owusu Asiamah
The Ghanaian Pastor also stated that when any church asks its members to pay tithe in the form of money, it is a fraudulent move
Rev. Dr Dan Owusu Asiamah of the Missionary Church of Christ, has stated that using money to pay tithe is not Biblical. According to him, churches involved in collecting tithes in the form of money are flouting the laws of God.
[Image: Churches-have-defrauded-people-by-%E2%80...asnews.jpg]
Rev. Dr Dan Owusu Asiamah gave this reply on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, when he was asked if Jesus Christ paid tithes.

“When you go to the Old Testament, God only demanded the Children of Israel to pay tithe. No other nation was asked to pay it” he said.
The Ghanaian Pastor also stated that when any church asks its members to pay tithe in the form of money, it is a fraudulent move.
”Paying tithe in monetary forms now is fraud” he added.

He supported his answer with a quotation taking from the book of Deuteronomy Chapter 14 verse 24 verse 26.  which reads;
“But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice”, he quoted
He added;
“Tithe-paying is fraud. Under no circumstance was anyone asked to pay tithe in the Bible. Tithing has to do with foodstuffs. Everything they are doing now is wrong. We speak about corruption and talk about politicians. Corruption begins in the church. The church is actively doing these things. In Deuteronomy 14:25, it tells you, a tithe isn’t about money.” .
“There is a difference between offertory and tithing, Malachi chapter 3: 8-10 says tithing has nothing to do with money but offering does. I challenge every clergyman to open a passage that says we should pay tithe on a monthly basis. No apostle asked a Christian to give one-tenth. Now it’s more like a law that some churches even collect the tithe before they bury the dead. How do you mark those who pay tithe in church?”

  Saraki: What Buhari, Oshiomhole, APC Lawmakers Plan To Do Today – Timi Frank
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 08-07-2018, 10:14 AM - Replies (3)

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has accused the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, Director General of the Department of State Services (DG – DSS), Lawal Daura and 30 APC Senators – led by the Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan, of spearheading a fresh plot to illegally impeach Senate President, Bukola Saraki.


Frank in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday morning, said that the meeting was at the instance of Oshiomhole, who is allegedly currently pressurizing President Muhammadu Buhari to accept his proposal of using “crude tactics” to topple Saraki and his Deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.

He said according to reliable information emanating from the meeting, National Vice Chairman (Southwest) of the APC, Chief Adeniyi Adebayo, joined Oshiomhole in pushing for the illegality while some APC Senators and House of Representatives members at the meeting kicked against the plot saying any “forceful removal of Saraki without due process will not fly with Nigerians.”


The lawmakers, according to Frank, were said to have further alerted Oshiomhole and the APC leadership that they only have 30 Senators on ground which will fall short of the 73 Senators required to lawfully impeach Saraki.

Frank said: “According to them, while other APC Senators have since travelled out of the country on vacation, a proposal to appoint Senator Lawan from Yobe State as Saraki’s replacement would be a direct violation of the Federal Character Principle since the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara is from Bauchi in the Northeast zone like Lawan.

“Following the red flag raised by some of the APC Senators who warn of the consequences of the proposed illegality, the meeting was said to have been rescheduled to reconvene by 11am this morning to enable Oshiomhole to call Mr. President in London at 9am this morning to brief him on the progress made so far.


“It was further learnt that Oshiomhole is expected to present the candidature of both Senators Lawan and George Akume to the President to make his choice during his proposed telephone conversation with Mr. President by 9am.

“The Presidency through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has increased the $400,000 it is already offering to lure individual lawmakers to support the plot to illegally impeach Saraki to $500,000. He said the lawmakers are also being wooed with offers to drop all corruption charges against them by the Federal Government.”

He insisted that Saraki’s life and personal safety was at stake, while appealing to Nigerians and leaders of the international community to urgently speak out to protect Saraki, and safeguard democracy in Nigeria.

Frank said that the illegal plot to break into the Senate Chambers to illegally impeach Saraki, if allowed to happen, could lead to chaos and anarchy of unimaginable proportion in the country, capable of burying the nation’s democracy apart from the danger it portents for the lives, security and safety of Nigerians.

France 2018: Super Falconets of Nigeria lose 1-0 to Germany

Both sides failed to break the deadlock in the opening period but the Nigerians could only hold on until the 69th minute before the Europeans claimed the lead
The Super Falconets of Nigeria on Monday  lost 1-0 to three-time champions Germany in a nerve-racking opening Group D encounter of the 2018 U-20 Women’s World Cup in Saint-Malo, France.
[Image: France-2018-Super-Falconets-lose-1-0-to-...00x300.jpg]Share
The Falconets, who spotted Nigeria’s new NIKE jerseys, put up an impressive display against their European counterparts and at some point dominated play in the exciting fixture but a 69th minute goal from the marauding Stefanie Sanders made the difference at the Stade de  Marville, which had just 823 fans in attendance.
Both sides failed to break the deadlock in the opening period but the Nigerians could only hold on until the 69th minute before the Europeans claimed the lead following a corner and a resulting header that rocked the crossbar.
[Image: France-2018-Super-Falconets-lose-1-0-to-...00x263.jpg]Share
The loose ball fell to Sanders, who knocked home from close range to put the Germans in front. The Super Falconets of Nigeria almost levelled three minutes later but Peace Efih could only watch her swerving shot ricochet off the upright and roll into safety with goalkeeper Vanessa Fischer stranded.
Chiamaka Nnadozie, in goal for the Falconets, was the heroine of the Nigerian girls as she pulled off impressive saves to thwart the Germans.
The result means the Germans maintained their dominance over the Falconets at this level, having beaten the Nigerian U-20 girls in the finals of the 2010 and 2014 editions.

Coach Christopher Danjuma’s girls square up next against their Haitian counterparts, who lost 2-1 to China in the other Group D tie on Thursday at the same venue, before another potentially-explosive encounter against China  on Monday.
China, with three points, occupy first place in the group with superior goals ahead of Germany, while Haiti and Nigeria occupy the rear with no points.

“The girls fought very hard and deserved at least a point from this match, but that is gone now and we have to look forward to Thursday. I believe the coaches have the ability to turn things around and ensure victory in the two remaining group phase matches,” Yusuf Ahmed, Chairman of the NFF Technical and Development Committee, told thenff.com after the match.

Willian openly admits he wants to play for Mourinho again
August 07, 2018 SPORT

                               [Image: gettyimages-1011457546-e1533604308489.jp...343&crop=1]
Chelsea winger Willian has admitted his admiration for former manager and current Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, and while he has a contract with Chelsea through the summer of 2020, he’s hoping to team up with his former gaffer in the future.

“Mourinho is the best manager I’ve ever worked with,” Willian told ESPN Brasil. “We have a good relationship, we are friends. Sometimes we talk, we text, we send messages to each other via WhatsApp. He is a great manager, I really enjoyed working with him. I hope I can work with him again someday.”

That’s quite the endorsement from a player on a fellow Premier League title contender, especially on the heels of the criticism Mourinho has received for his treatment of Paul Pogba.

Willian has been the subject of numerous transfer rumors this summer after a so-so performance at the World Cup in Russia. After the Community Shield loss to Manchester City on Sunday, Willian affirmed his desire to remain at Stamford Bridge, saying, “I always made it clear that what I wanted was to stay in the club.”

He confirmed Barcelona made an official bid, but with no movement, that didn’t come to fruition. Still, he wishes his former boss would come calling. “Mourinho talks to my agent all the time, he says ‘bring him, bring him’,” Willian said. “He has never called me, but he always sends me text messages.”

Bologna explosion: 3 dead, 67 injured after tanker truck explodes on Italian highway

A  tanker truck explosion on a highway in Bologna, Italy, has left at least three people died and 67 were injured.
[Image: Bologna-explosion-3-dead-67-injured-afte...asnews.jpg]
Footage of the incident which occurred today, showed an enormous fireball and plumes of thick, black smoke in the sky . The explosion ripped through the pavement, leaving huge holes in the road surface.
Marco Granna, a spokesman for the local health agency in Bologna, revealed that 55 people were taken to the hospital for treatment of first-, second- and third-degree burns. The news agency ANSA said the tanker was carrying liquefied petroleum gas.
[Image: Bologna-explosion-3-dead-67-injured-afte...00x350.jpg]
Terrified residents reported that their houses “shook” when the vehicle exploded at around 12.50pm. Nearby residents were evacuated from their homes after explosions shattered windows.
A picture from closer to the scene shows cars at a Peugeot dealership in flames along with a flyover running alongside the business. Multiple cars underneath the motorway were also on fire.
Workers from the Red Cross said more than 250 volunteers helped at the scene. Dramatic footage from the scene taken by a motorist driving towards the explosion shows a significant blast before he reverses away from the scene. The blast triggered a series of explosions that grew in ferocity this afternoon. Firefighters battled the flames at the scene on the bypass in Borgo Panigale.


[Image: Bologna-explosion-3-dead-67-injured-afte...00x410.png]
A helicopter took water from the Rhine river to extinguish the flames. Ambulance crews and a police helicopter were also in attendance. Drivers were warned of impaired vision in the vicinity of the fire as plumes of smoke spill into the surrounding area. The road was closed in both directions.
Italian news channel Sky TG24 reported that some of the injured people had been hit by flying glass when windows in nearby buildings exploded.
[Image: Bologna-explosion-3-dead-67-injured-afte...00x389.png]
Police said in a statement on Twitter:

“Due to an accident on the highway, an explosion occurred resulting in a fire at Via Marco Emilio Lepido.
“Circulation compromised, not only on the motorway, but also in the Borgo Panigale area.”


The cause of the explosion is not yet known. Bologna is the lively, historic capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, in northern Italy. Here are more photos below and a video;

A fresh Lassa Fever Outbreak in Enugu State has left one dead, as confirmed by the State Government on Monday.
[Image: Lassa-Fever-Outbreak-Enugu-Govt-confirms...asnews.jpg]Share
However the State’s Commissioner for Health, Dr. Fintan Ekochin who confirmed the Lassa Fever Outbreak in a press statement, told residents of the state that there is no need for panic as people in contact with the deceased before his death, have been placed on drugs known to prevent the spread of the virus if started early.
Here is a video below;
Few months ago, the Enugu State government had urged residents to be vigilant, following the disease outbreak in Ebonyi State.The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Fintan Ekochin, made the appeal. He said then that although the disease has not been reported in the state, there were concerns about those who travel to and from Ebonyi.
He said: “Lassa fever has been a challenge inEbonyi State as the people are prone to having issues that may lead to deaths. “Our concern is about those commuters, if they contact the disease, how do we select them from the general public, quarantine and treat them?”He said presently, since the disease is not endemic among the Enugu population, the risk remains lower.

Ekochin disclosed that the state had an internationally approved isolation ward, which could handle highly infectious diseases.
“The facility was one of the biggest challenges that the ministry faced in the last quarter of 2017, when monkey pox disease broke out.
“We had three suspected cases at that time and the state government funded the ministry of health to set up the isolation ward. It provided the opportunity of isolating patients from relations and medical workers.”

He added that what happened in Ebonyi was that the doctors and nurses who treated the patients got infected and died. The Commissioner for Health Ekochin  also disclosed that an emergency preparedness team had met to discuss the implications of the breakout in Ebonyi.

it was also reported few weeks ago, that a fully loaded car on its way to Calabar, was involved in an accident which had it plunge into a river after somersaulting thrice.
Sharing the story of the accident, Facebook user OG Jonni disclosed that there was no casualty in the accident which occurred after the driver of the car tried overtaking a Tanker. Read his post below;
This is Thanksgiving of amazing grace, wonderful grace and bountiful grace, in fact I lack words to express this grace God showed upon me today
This happened at the early hours of today along calabar express way, on my way going to calabar with seven humans on it of which all survived including myself.
Our driver was trying to escape from a tanker which was in front of us of which he noticed late and on doing that, he met another vehicle that was trying to overtake the tanker on this he diverted thinking he was going into the bush not knowing it was a big flowing river he took us to, and this vehicle tumbled down three good times and landed us in that water
It is a great thing of joy that God could save a sinner like me from death, I appreciate this all power God that He has put a testimony in my mouth.

2019: Start packing your belongings – Hunkuyi tells El-Rufai
August 07, 2018 politics

                            [Image: El-rufai2.jpg][Image: El-rufai2.jpg]
Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, who decamped from the All Progressive Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has assured of the readiness of the party to take over seat of government in the state in 2019.

He has advised governor Nasiru Ahmed El-Rufai to utilise the remaining months he has in office to pack his belongings and get ready to leave Sir Kashim Ibrahim House.
Giving the warning while officially decamping to the PDP in Kaduna, he said, “God gives power but the APC regime in Kaduna and Nigeria have dealt with the electorate to the situation we have all found ourselves in the country.

“We don’t insult, but we tell the truth. I am telling El-Rufai to use the remaining time he has in office to pack his things and be prepared to leave government house. We don’t insult, but they will feel pains through the casting of our votes.”
He admitted that PDP is a rebranded party that had all it takes to take over power at all level of governance in the country.
“The error of bringing el-Rufai on board, l am begging the people of Kaduna State and ood to forgive me for the role l played,” he pleaded

He added, “The engine of APC has been removed along with the tyres and as such it cannot help itself nor the people.”
He vowed that APC will never come back to power.
“We come to join hands with our friends to liberate our people from the bondage of APC in Kaduna State.
“Let’s join hand with our great party, PDP and change things. Without PDP, there would be no end to untold hardship Nigerians are suffering from. We are praying to God to help us to be united to be successful in reclaiming our state and country,” he added.
Hunkuyi assured all civil servants sacked by Governor El-Rufai that they would be given back their jobs when PDP comes back to power.
PDP Chairman Kaduna State, Felix Hassan Hyet, while welcoming Hunkuyi and others back to the party, said that they would work together with the decampees to liberate Kaduna State and Nigeria from the shackles of APC.
He said all the mistakes APC are making is to propel PDP back to power.
“Hunkuyi brought El-Rufai to power. I believe he has realized his mistake and would work hard towards correcting that by helping to send him packing from Sir Kashim Ibrahim House,” he explained.

The Ondo State Police Command said the incident took place in Owo town , Ondo State, on Sunday, adding that as of Monday, the suspect was still sleeping due to the effect of the drug, Punch Metro reports.

The PPRO said:
“The suspect and his gangs had stormed the house of the victim to kidnap him, but they fled after he raised an alarm. After failing to abduct their target, the hoodlums fled, but one of them stumbled because he was not active again due to the effect of the tramadol he had taken.

Serena Williams reveals she’s still suffering ‘postpartum emotions’

In an emotional Instagram post Monday, the mother of Alexis Olympia Ohanian revealed she was in a bit of a “funk” last week

Serena Williams has opened up on her Post-Partum struggles just one week after she was handed the worst defeat of her career during the opening match of the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic.

Serena Williams talks about Post-Partum struggles.
In an emotional Instagram post Monday, the mother of Alexis Olympia Ohanian revealed she was in a bit of a “funk” last week, and this was because, lately, she has been guilted by the feeling that she has not been a good mum to her daughter.

“Although I have been with her every day of her life,” Williams wrote on Instagram, “I’m not around as much as I would like to be. Most of you moms deal with the same thing. Whether stay-at-home or working, finding that balance with kids is a true art.”

Read the full note:

Last week was not easy for me. Not only was I accepting some tough personal stuff, but I just was in a funk. Mostly, I felt like I was not a good mom.
I read several articles that said postpartum emotions can last up to 3 years if not dealt with. I like communication best. Talking things through with my mom, my sisters, my friends let me know that my feelings are totally normal.
It’s totally normal to feel like I’m not doing enough for my baby.

We have all been there. I work a lot, I train, and I’m trying to be the best athlete I can be.
However, that means although I have been with her every day of her life, I’m not around as much as I would like to be. Most of you moms deal with the same thing. Whether stay-at-home or working, finding that balance with kids is a true art. You are the true heroes.
I’m here to say: if you are having a rough day or week–it’s ok–I am, too!!! There’s always tomm!


Only last week, she lost her opening match of the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic last Tuesday night to Johanna Konta, 6-1, 6-0, a match that lasted only 52 minutes. On Saturday, she pulled out of this week’s Rogers Cup in Montreal, citing personal reasons.

Now, she speaks about her battles since giving birth to her daughter and working to be the best athlete she can be.

Woman falls into a well and dies while running from a scorpion in Lagos
The Togolese woman, her husband and their four children were said to have lived in the house for over 20 years.


Woman falls into a well and dies while running from a scorpion in Lagos.
A woman has fallen to her death while trying to escape from a scorpion in Alaja community, Megida, in the Ayobo area of Lagos State.

The 40-year-old petty trader, Ablavi Hunkpati, fell into an abandoned well and died,PUNCH Metro reports.
[Image: Woman-falls-into-a-well-and-dies-while-r...00x300.jpg]Share
Our correspondent learnt that after failed attempts by residents, relatives and sympathisers to rescue her, officials of the Lagos State Fire Service were called to the scene.

Her remains were subsequently recovered and handed over to the police by officials of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency.
The Togolese woman, her husband and their four children were said to have lived in the house for over 20 years.

Woman falls into a well and dies while running from a scorpion in Lagos
A resident, who did not identify himself, said the incident happened on Saturday around 2pm.
He said:

“The woman has been living in the house for over than 20 years. As of the time she packed in, that well had been abandoned. Usually, people sit and relax on the planks used to cover the well. She was trying to run from a scorpion. She rested on the planks, which gave way. That was how she fell into the well and died.”

The abandoned well was at the entrance into the victim’s room and parlour apartment.
The house had also been cordoned off by security operatives.

A relative of Hunkpati, who identified himself only as David, showed our correspondent a bottle of soft drink he bought for her before the incident.
He said:

“She kept the drink on a drum and wanted to rid the planks on the well of insects because children usually play around there. She had finished cleaning the place when she fell.”

David explained that the victim had sighted a scorpion, and panicked when she fell into the well.

“She screamed and we rushed to see how to help her, but it was too late. She had died before anyone could do anything because the well is over 100 feet deep. We called the fire service, but when they came, it was too late,” he added.

It was learnt that the victim’s husband and children had gone to Togo to break the news to other family members.
The Public Affairs Officer of the Lagos State Fire Service, Mrs Bola Ajao, who spoke for the acting Director, Rasak Musibau, said firefighters arrived as soon they received a distress call about the incident.
She said:

“We received the distress call around 2.59pm and the Abesan Fire Station, being the closest to the area, responded. The officials arrived at the scene around 3.06pm. By the time they got there, it was discovered that some of the victim’s relatives had lowered themselves into the well with ropes. They, however, could not bring her out. The fire service men recovered the woman’s corpse.

“We have been telling residents that no matter how little an emergency may appear, they should always get in touch with emergency workers. The person who tried to bring the deceased’s woman out was not trained in safety techniques and it is possible that it was in the process of dragging her with ropes that the situation aggravated.”

  Morning Devotional For Tuesday 7th August
User Avatar Forum: Daily Devotions
Posted by: Edoman - 08-07-2018, 09:15 AM - Replies (1)

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES


TUESDAY, 7TH AUGUST.

WORK THE WORD.

Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life (Galatians 6:5 MSG).

Some Christians try to make God responsible for what actually is their responsibility. Often times, when something unpleasant happens, they’d conclude, “It’s the will of God; otherwise, why did He let it happen?” What such people need to realise is that the authority to change things on earth, and make our lives as beautiful as we desire, has been given to us. You can make your life glorious by living out God’s Word.

In Matthew 17:20, the Lord Jesus was emphatic when He said, “...verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” He makes it clear that you can create your victorious life by acting your faith on the Word of God. He already gave you the measure of faith you require to effect the changes you desire.

In Mark 9:23, He said, “...all things are possible to him that believeth.” The question is, do you believe? If you do, then you have before you a life of endless possibilities. Put the Word to work in your life, and you’ll always be victorious. Don’t “wait” for His Word to come to pass in your life; rather, you’re to work the Word.

Philippians 2:12 says, “…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Work out the Word in your life and make it produce results. Using your faith, you can be what you want to be, change what you want to change, and achieve whatever you want to achieve! Faith is our currency and “power to do” in the Kingdom of God.

God has already given you the dominion and the authority to create your triumphant life, by altering the course of events in your life to conform with His perfect will. Keep living in the Word, and the glory of God will be manifest in all you do.

CONFESSION

Christ is my life and all I require; thus, my life is one of endless glory, joy, victories, successes, and possibilities! I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me. Nothing is impossible unto me! I’m a believer in Christ Jesus; therefore, a possessor of all things! Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:

Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

James 1:22-25 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.


1-Year Bible Reading Plan
Romans 9:30-10:1-21 & Psalms 78

2-Year Bible Reading Plan
Ephesians 6:21-24 & Isaiah 58




#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN


7TH AUGUST.


I affirm that I am a new creation in Christ Jesus; I am holy and sanctified unto the Lord! I am divinely empowered to make great things happen in my world and in the regions beyond. I am a partaker of the divine nature, I express and manifest the life of Christ in righteousness, excellence, glory, wisdom, and power! I reign by grace today, through righteousness, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death and its debilitating influences. Hallelujah!

The nature and glory of Christ are in me; therefore, I have what He says I have and I can do what He says I can do. No circumstance or situation is insurmountable to me, because I am in Christ and my victory is assured in Him. I am His glory just as He is my glory. Hallelujah! I am anointed by the Holy Ghost to be outstanding in everything I do, and even now, that anointing is activated in me to take that leap of faith and bring in new ideas and innovations that will transform the lives of millions around the world positively.

My mind is anointed to think right, being the mind of Christ. I think excellent thoughts, and I only see pictures of excellence, success, victory, and abundance. I focus my mind on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy. Glory to God. Hallelujah!

SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES NOW

• Be bold to say the same things that God has said concerning you in His Word. That is what takes you beyond salvation, to enjoy the benefits of salvation ~ Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.


God bless you.

  NGO Founder Remanded For Sodomising His Twin Children
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 08-06-2018, 12:55 PM - No Replies

An NGO founder identified as Jephath Ighodaro, who was arraigned at an Ogba Magistrate’s Court on Friday, has been remanded in the Kirikiri prison for allegedly sodomising his four-year-old twin children.

The 37-year-old NGO Founder arrest came, after his wife became suspicious after the kids fondled her breasts when they spent a weekend with her. She lodged a complaint with the police, that he sodomized their kids.

Police spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, disclosed that the couple separated in October 2015 after which Ighodaro withdrew the children from their school in March 2016. He was accused of abusing the children between January and July 2018, as he allegedly penetrated their anuses and made them suck his manhood.

The results of medical tests from the Mirabel Medical Centre, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, showed that the victims were abused, and according to the Director of the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender, Mrs Adeyinka Adeyemi, the children went to toilet about three times, adding that they might have health problems.

Punch reported that the Edo State indigene who pleaded not guilty, was arraigned on Friday on two counts of sodomy.



The charge read, “That you, Jephath Ighodaro, between January 2018 (and July 2018), between 7am and 10pm on Saint Augustine Street, Orisunmbare, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did unlawfully sexually assault one (first child) by penetrating his anus, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 261 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2015.

“That you, Jephat Ighodaro, between January 2018 (and July 2018), between 7am and 10pm on Saint Augustine Street, Orisunmbare, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did unlawfully sexually assault one (second child) by penetrating his anus, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 261 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2015.”

While the police prosecutor, Inspector Samuel Ishola, who stood in for the resident prosecutor, Christopher John, applied for the remand of the defendant in prison, the defence counsel, Sunday Aniebite, applied for the bail of the defendant, saying the law presumed Ighodaro innocent until the contrary was proven.



Chief Magistrate, Mr. P.E. Nwaka who stood down the case after observing an oversight in the remand form brought by the police, later remanded Ighodaro in custody. He adjourned the case till September 3, 2018.

  MASSOB faults Fed Govt’s plan to build refinery in Katsina

MASSOB faults Fed Govt’s plan to build refinery in Katsina
August 06, 2018 Biafra

                            [Image: MASSOB1.jpg]
The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has faulted the plan of President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to build a modern refinery in his home state of Katsina.

It described the plan as insensitivity and callousness.

The group, which further said Biafra struggle had reached the point of no return, stressed that no amount of intimidation would deter or stop the drive.

A statement signed by the Leader of MASSOB, Uche Madu, in Abakaliki, queried the rationale behind building a petroleum refinery in Katsina, which is not an oil producing state.
According to MASSOB, Buhari wants to build a cattle ranch in Edo State which is an oil producing state and also conversely wants to build a refinery in Katsina, which is a cattle rearing state and many people are wondering what is wrong with Nigeria as a country?
He noted that this is an open evidence of sadism and wickedness, which always expose Nigeria as a state of injustices and inequalities, where marginalisation, deprivation and subjection of Biafrans and Christians are highly promoted.
In another development, the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company has described energy security as very paramount to survival of the country’s economy and business growth.
Chairman, Board of Directors of the company, Alhaji Yusuf Hamisu Abubakar, who stated this at the weekend during the maiden Kaduna Members’ Evening and Dinner organised by the Institute of Directors of Nigeria (IODs), urged business communities to join hands with the government in ending the current security challenges in the country.
He noted that the security challenges in Zamfara, Sokoto and Kaduna states are not only adversely affecting the operations of firm, but almost all businesses in those areas.
He, therefore, called on captains of industry and the business community to lend their support to government’s campaigns aimed at creating peaceful and conducive atmosphere for businesses to flourish.

  Defections: Buhari’s Men Angry Over Tinubu's Silence
User Avatar Forum: Politics

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

The alleged continued silence of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, national leader of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), on the gale of defections rocking the party is causing disquiet in the presidency, especially among loyalists of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Some of the presidency sources, who spoke with Daily Independent on Thursday, said loyalists of President Buhari are unhappy that Tinubu, who was appointed by the president to head the party’s reconciliation team in February, has not uttered a word since the defections began a fortnight ago with the departure of 14 senators and 37 House of Representatives members to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The lawmakers’ defection was followed by the exit of Senate President Bukola Saraki; Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto; Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara and Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary of the ruling party.

Others who dumped APC include Alhaji Musa Ibeto, Nigeria’s former Ambassador to South Africa, as well as some members of the state Houses of Assembly in Kwara and Sokoto states.

Our source, an official in the presidency, who was the first to reveal to Daily Independent last week that President Buhari will be embarking on vacation in the United Kingdom (UK), said the president’s men believe Tinubu’s silence in the midst of the crisis “is an indication of tacit support for the renegades”.

According to him, “Buhari’s men are angry that Asiwaju Tinubu and his men such as Papa (Bisi Akande), Segun Osoba have not uttered a word in the midst of this national crisis. It is a national crisis because key stakeholders, including the number three man in the country, state governors, federal lawmakers and others are leaving the ruling party in droves.

“The National Assembly has been shut because of the selfish motives of some people till September while party primaries will begin later this month, according to INEC timetable. INEC is complaining that the shutdown of the National Assembly will affect its smooth operations because its request for fund is still pending yet Tinubu as the party’s national leader and head of the reconciliation team has not said anything.

“One of them told me it is unusual of Tinubu not to make comment when serious issues like these are happening. Recently, during the governorship primary in Ekiti, there were reports that Segun Oni has dragged Fayemi to court, Tinubu alongside Akande, Segun Osoba, Niyi Adebayo issued paid advertorials condemning Oni’s actions and pledged loyalty to Fayemi. If he and his lieutenants can bare their minds on Ekiti APC primary, why have they chosen to keep mute on these defections as if it is something insignificant”, he said.

Another source in the presidency alleged that there are reports Tinubu may have met with Saraki privately few days to the defection of the Senate President.

He, however, said those who got wind of the report are not sure of what was discussed. He said it may be a last minute intervention by Tinubu to persuade Saraki not to dump the party.

“There are even strong speculations that Tinubu privately met with Saraki few days to the defection of the Senate President. What was discussed at the meeting is not known. If Tinubu actually had the meeting with Saraki, maybe in a last minute attempt to persuade him not to leave APC, he should come out and let the world know. His silence over this very important issue in the party he laboured to build is totally uncalled for”, he said.

When Daily Independent contacted Tunde Rahman, Tinubu’s media aide, he promised to give our correspondent a comprehensive response after seeking clarifications from his principal.

Reacting on the defections, the PDP said more APC stalwarts including governors, National Assembly members and members of President Buhari’s cabinet are joining its fold.

Speaking with our correspondent, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said its doors are open to every Nigerian, including Tinubu.

“For us in the party, we are confident that more members of the APC are still on their way to PDP. More governors are still coming, senators and members of the House of Reps are coming; including serving ministers in President Buhari’s government will soon announce their defection to our party”, he said.

On the possibility of Tinubu joining PDP, he said, “Our party is open and we welcome every Nigerian that is desirous of a change in the clueless and incompetent government of President Buhari”.

Also speaking, Yinka Odumakin, National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, said maybe Tinubu as head of APC’s reconciliation committee is working behind the scene and may have chosen to remain silent so that his efforts will not be jeopardised.

“Maybe he is working underground. He may be working behind the scene and doesn’t want his efforts as the chairman of the reconciliation committee to be jeopardised”, Odumakin said.

Sobbing children say goodbye to their mother as she's deported after 18 years of marriage to former Marine and Iraq War veteran
[Image: 147e08288134329621f1c06e199bb852?source=...ormat=webp]
After teary goodbyes to her two children, Alejandra Juarez, the wife of a former Marine and Iraq War veteran, was deported Friday, despite asking the president to allow her to stay in the country with her family.
Nine members of Congress also wrote to Donald Trump, imploring him to intervene on behalf of Juarez, who has lived in the U.S. for 20 years and been married to former Marine Sgt. Cuauhtemoc 'Temo' Juarez, who is a U.S. citizen, for 18 years. 
The couple, of Davenport, Florida, has two children who are both U.S. citizens, Pamela, age 16, and 8-year-old Estela.

Alejandra Juarez, 38, left, says goodbye to her children, Pamela and Estela at the Orlando International Airport on Friday, Aug. 3, 2018 in Orlando, Florida. Juarez, the wife of a former Marine, was preparing to self-deport to Mexico in a move that would split up their family
[Image: 147e08288134329621f1c06e199bb852-2?sourc...ormat=webp]
Alejandra Juarez is pictured here with her husband, former Marine Sgt. Cuauhtemoc 'Temo' Juarez, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1995-1999 and has since joined the Army National Guard in Florida
'My daughters mean everything to me,' Juarez said in a statement. 'They are the reasons for me to keep going every day, and to keep fighting to remain here ... Their life is here and my life is here with them.'
She plans to eventually have her youngest daughter join her in Mexico - a difficult decision for the family, because it divides the two daughters who are very close, said Richard Maney, Juarez' Florida-based attorney.
'It is a dark day for our community,' Maney told MailOnline.com. 'Very, very tearful. We have a wonderful, warm family being split down the middle.'  
Juarez was 16 years old when she crossed the border, fleeing violence in her community at the time, and was coached by a smuggler to avoid paths to legal immigration, although she may have qualified. She has now spent more of her life in the U.S. than in her home country of Mexico.
During a traffic stop in 2013 she was flagged for being in the country illegally and began regular supervised check-ins with officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 
Under the Obama administration - and as a law-abiding military spouse - she was told repeatedly that she was not a priority for deportation proceedings.

Alejandra Juarez poses with her daughters, Pamela, 16, and Estela, 8. Juarez is slated for deportation on Aug. 3, despite having no criminal record and being married to a U.S. citizen who is a retired Marine 
'ICE (officials) here had been supervising Alejandra for five years without any problem,' Maney said. 'ICE, when they first came across her five years ago, saw that she deserved to stay in the United States. It's just that now they were directed under President Trump's zero tolerance policy to deport.' 
Juarez had sought to resolve her immigration status by requesting 'parole in place,' a protective status that would allow her to remain, or a stay of removal. She was denied in both cases.
'She freely and voluntarily appeared today and got on a plane because she was told to,' Maney said. 'She's a law abiding person.'

Her husband served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1995-1999 and has since joined the Army National Guard in Florida. Also originally from Mexico, he became a naturalized citizen a few days before being deployed to Iraq with the National Guard.
As many as 11,800 current members of the U.S. military have a spouse or family member who is facing an order of deportation, according to the Military Times. 
Juarez's plight sparked a hashtag (#KeepAlejandraHere) and has drawn the attention of politicians.
'While Mrs. Juarez did cross the border illegally in 1998, she acknowledges her wrongdoing and has since continued to meet every six months with immigration officials seeking a path towards remaining in the United States,' the members of Congress wrote to Trump.
'For twenty years Mrs. Juarez has not posed a danger to her community, and separating her from her family will be detrimental to her two daughters and husband. Urgent action is needed,' the letter continued.
At the same time, a bill called the Protect Patriot Spouses Act could help families like the Juarezes, however the legislation has failed to make progress in Congress despite having bipartisan support.

NNPC Denies Funding Alleged Plot to Impeach Saraki
[url=http://www.akelicious.net/search/label/BUSINESS][/url]

                            [Image: NNPC-Nigeria.jpg?resize=520%2C410&ssl=1]
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) yesterday denied having any hand in the alleged plot to unseat the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

The corporation distanced itself from the plot and also denied an allegation that it was funding the plan.


The Group Managing Director, Dr. Maikanti Baru, was alleged to have doled out funds to aid the impeachment of Saraki .

But a statement issued in Abuja by NNPC’s Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, described the report as the handiwork of mischief makers seeking to drag the NNPC and Baru into a purely political affair totally different from its mandate as the national oil company with fiduciary responsibilities to the government and people of Nigeria.

Ughamadu stated that the report was not only false but also an affront on reported reforms carried out by Baru at the corporation.

He explained that the reforms have witnessed irreversible strides in the area of transparency with the sustained publication of NNPC monthly operations and financial records.

The NNPC GM further said it was mere fiction and outright ‘tales by moonlight’ for anybody to insinuate Baru or anybody else could just take a dip into NNPC’s account and dole out the volume of funds being portrayed in the report for political purpose.

Ughamadu called on all well-meaning members of the public and oil and gas industry stakeholders to discountenance the report, noting that the NNPC was committed to its statutory role and responsibility to the entire federation.

  Morning Devotional For Monday 6th August
User Avatar Forum: Daily Devotions
Posted by: Edoman - 08-06-2018, 09:09 AM - Replies (1)

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

MONDAY, 6TH AUGUST.

AFFIRM YOUR VICTORY AND DELIVERANCE.


We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak (2 Corinthians 4:13).

Christianity is a life of faith. We believe; therefore, we speak. We speak on the basis of our faith in the Word, and not according to circumstances.

It reminds of the inspiring utterance of Jonah in Jonah 2:1-4. He was in trouble, but read his affirmation of faith: “…I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.”

Imagine the content of Jonah’s prayer, despite being in such a distressing situation: A great fish had swallowed him up after he disobeyed God’s instruction to go to Nineveh and proclaim His Word. In the belly of the fish, he refused to give up; instead, he prophesied his victory. He declared, “...I will look again toward thy holy temple!”

This is prophetic prayer, and it’s important for God’s people to pray this way, where you speak the will of God into being by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Observe further, Jonah’s prophetic utterances from the belly of the fish: “They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord” (Jonah 2:8-9).

You may read this and think, “Oh, well, Jonah said this after he came out from the fish’s belly”; no. He spoke those words while still in the belly of the fish. He knew that looking at the circumstances would make him forsake the mercies of God. He had come to realise that God is a deliverer and a rescuer; so he refused to dwell on his predicament. Thus, while still in trouble, he began to thank God for delivering him. He understood the Word of God. He knew that God calls things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17).

Don’t be moved by the unpleasantness of your present circumstances; don’t observe negative symptoms of lack or ill-health; prophesy your victory. Proclaim the Word. Worship the Lord in the midst of that seemingly hopeless situation. Declare that you have overcome; thank Him for your deliverance and victory.

CONFESSION

The Word of God is in my heart and in my mouth today, by which I prevail. The Word in my mouth is God talking! Nothing is impossible to me because I live in, and by the Word, walking in continual victory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Psalm 27:1-3 The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident.

Psalm 91:2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Romans 9:1-29 & Psalms 74-77

2-Year Bible Reading Plan
Ephesians 6:10-20 & Isaiah 57




#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN

6TH AUGUST.

I affirm that the Lord is my sufficiency, my refuge, my glory and my strength; He is my all. Hallelujah! I am born of the Spirit, and I am fully yielded to His leading, guidance and control; I don’t fulfil the desires of the flesh.

I am fulfilling God’s perfect will and living out my destiny in Him. I live by the Word; therefore, my communication is modeled in line with God’s thoughts, precepts, and direction for my life. I speak faith-filled words always, knowing that my words are filled with power to transform my life and chart my course in victory. I yield my spirit to the Word, to be instructed and guided in wisdom to please the Father in all things. I am in the light of God; I see with, and by that light! I am what He says I am, and I have what He says I have, and I can do what He says I can do. He’s given me all things freely to enjoy.

And I am living from a position of rest, knowing that I am a joint-heir with Christ. I’ve been qualified to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light! I am walking in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel, triumphant always and in every place, making manifest the savour of the knowledge and glory of Christ. Hallelujah.
As I set my mind on the realities of the Kingdom, I am aligned and in sync with the Father’s will, purpose, and direction for me, fulfilling His perfect will and bringing Him glory in all things. Blessed be God.

SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES NOW

• Be bold to say the same things that God has said concerning you in His Word. That is what takes you beyond salvation, to enjoy the benefits of salvation ~ Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.

God bless you.

  Primate Ayodele: If Saraki Runs, PDP Will Win 2019 Presidential Election
User Avatar Forum: Religion
Posted by: Edoman - 08-05-2018, 10:15 PM - No Replies

By Jacob Ajom

AMIDST the carpet-crossing drama in the National Assembly, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Oke Afa, Isolo, Lagos, has predicted tougher times for the country and, in particular, the ruling All Progressives Congress in the coming year.

In his book, Warning To The Nations, which is a compendium of his prophesies covering the 2018/2019 period, the Primate said President Muhammadu Buhari will not find it easy in his bid for a second term.

“President Buhari’s attempt to return will meet very stiff resistance from the opposition and if he tries to force his way, then there will be trouble in the country,” the Primate said.

He said prior to the 2015 elections he prophesied the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan by a new party which, after taking over power, would break up. This, he said, was manifesting as recent events in the ruling party show. “It is going to be tough for the APC as a new party will give them a run for their money at the 2019 polls,” he said.

Ayodele said for the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party, to record any meaningful result in the 2019 presidential race, the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, who returned to the party a week ago, has to be given the ticket to run. “I do not know Saraki neither do we have any link, politically or otherwise. But he is the only man who can win anything for PDP,” the Primate said emphatically.

  FG Groans Under N2.7 Trn, Other Judgment Debts
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 08-05-2018, 05:57 PM - Replies (1)

Quote:By Paul Ogbuokiri and Tunde Oyesina 


Indications were rife at the weekend that the Federal Government has continued to be in judgement debt of several court orders arising from suits filed against it by individuals and groups.

With the recent $8.9 billion (N2.7trillion) arbitration fine awarded against Nigeria by a U.S. District Court in Washington D.C., Sunday Telegraph learnt that such debts, which run into trillions of naira, could wipe off a sizeable chunk of the country’s foreign reserves, derail the 2018 budget and plunge the economy back into recession if the Federal Government honours the obligation.

The debts were said to have been incurred by decisions taken by government officials that were not thoroughly thought out and were challenged in court by aggrieved parties.

Two arbitration awards totaling over $8.9 billion (about N2.7 trillion at CBN’s N306) exchange rate have been made against the country and it does appear that efforts by the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to dodge payments have failed, leaving it with no option than to honour the judgment obligations.

The fines emanated from the contractual actions of three previous administrations – the Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan’s.

On March 20, 2013, a three-man arbitration panel, constituted under the rules of the Arbitration Act 1996 (England and Wales) and the Nigerian Arbitration and Conciliation Act (CAP A18 LFN 2004), awarded $6.6 billion in favour of Process & Industrial Development Limited (P&ID), an engineering firm registered in the British Virgin Island (BVI).

The dispute between the engineering company and Nigeria went into arbitration after the firm accused the Ministry of Petroleum Resources of breaching a gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) it signed in 2010 on behalf of the Nigerian government.

The judgment was given after the country failed to show up in court to defend the matter.

The second award of about $21.24 million (N6.5 billion) was in favour of ENRON Nigeria Power Holding (ENPH) Limited, which signed an agreement with the Lagos State Government for the construction of power projects in the state.

The Federal Government guaranteed the agreement and has now been held liable, after Lagos was accused of breaching it.

The award in favour of ENRON, which has been affirmed by both High and Appeal Courts in the United States, has been awaiting settlement for more than a year, since April 26, 2017.


N100million fine for demolished houses in Imo State

Among the said judgements was the one delivered by the ECOWAS Court on July 6, 2018, wherein the court asked the Nigerian Government and the Imo State government to pay N100.09 million as special damages to a family whose property was demolished four years ago in Imo State.

The said property was demolished under a 2009 Imo State Law. The law allowed the government to pull down any property linked to anyone accused of involvement in kidnapping activities in the state.

In suit number ECW/CCJ/APP/13/14, Damian Onwuham and 22 others alleged the violation of their rights to fair hearing and effective investigation; right to presumption of innocence; right to property and right to dignity of the human person as guaranteed in the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

They also accused the Imo State Government of failing to carry out an impartial and effective investigation on the owners of the properties.


$75,000 fine over violation of human rights

Similarly, the same regional court had in 2017, awarded the sum $75,000 damages against the Federal Government for the act of violation of fundamental human rights of the son of Retired Wing Commander Danladi Kwasu.

Justice Nwoke Chijoke, who delivered the judgment, held that the right to life of the deceased was violated in contravention of article 4 of the African charter pertaining to right to life.


N15million fine over unlawful detention

Equally, the ECOWAS on October 4, 2016, imposed a N15 million fine against the Federal Government over what it described as unlawful arrest and detention of former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

The court also held that the further arrest of Dasuki by government on November 4, after he was granted bail by a court of law, amounts to a mockery of democracy and the rule of law.

Dasuki is facing multiple trials for alleged diversion of $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of arms in the immediate past administration.


N88billion compensation for victims of Civil War

In a similar vein, the ECOWAS court also on October 30, 2017, after an agreement between parties, okayed the payment of about N88 billion by the Federal Government as compensation to victims of Biafra war, which took place about 47 years ago, as compensation for their loses.

A breakdown of the compensation adopted by the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, as consent judgment for government and the victims, showed that N50billion will go direct to the victims of the war in eleven affected states in South East, South South and part of North Central regions, while the remaining N38billion will be for the evacuation of abandoned bombs and other lethal weapons and construction of schools, courts, churches and mosques among others in the affected areas.

In the consent judgment read by Justice Friday Chijioke Nwoke, the Federal Government is expected to pay the N50billion into the United Bank of Africa (UBA) account with number 1018230076 belonging to Chief Noel Agwuocha Chukwukadibia, the nominated counsel for the war victims and another N38billion to be paid into another UBA account with number 1016296801 belonging to Deminers Concept Nigeria Limited for RSB Holdings Nigeria Ltd and Deminers Concept Nigeria Ltd who are expected to evacuate all the abandoned bombs and other dangerous weapons in the farmlands, schools, churches and mosques of the war victims and to also carry out construction works.

Besides, the Federal Government will, by the consent judgment, establish a National Mine Action Centre in Owerri, Imo State for victims in the South-East region.

Also, the Federal High Court sitting Lagos, in a judgement in a suit filed by Wale Babalakin SAN, against the FG and AMCON, imposed the fine of N3 billion on the defendants.

The case, which was instituted since 2012, was decided in favour of Babalakin as the Court answered all his prayers and ordered AMCON to pay N3billion for damages caused by publishing his name as a chronic debtor in ThisDay Newspaper.

Meanwhile, public commentators, who spoke on the potential impact of the court fines on the country’s economy, were alarmed that apart from its potential threat to the country’s assets abroad, the enforcement of these awards could clean out a significant portion of the country’s foreign reserves.

An investment analyst, Xavier Austin, said such awards could pose damaging consequences to the country’s economy at this time, particularly as the economy is still standing on wobbly legs, barely a year after exiting recession.

Apart from the immediate impact on the country’s economy, Mr. Austin said enforcement of the awards against Nigeria could whittle down the country’s rating and chances of securing lending abroad.

For Lead Director, Centre for Social Justice (CENSOJ), Eze Onyekpere, “If this is true, this will be absolutely be a calamity and disaster for the country, considering that we already have almost N2 trillion deficit in the current budget and debt portfolio that is growing every day.

“The entire 2018 federal budget is equivalent of about $29.9billion. If someone has an arbitral award of about $8.9billion to collect, what will remain for the entire country of almost 200 million people?

“It means they have taken more than one-third of the 2019 budget. The truth is that the Nigerian economy cannot afford to pay that to anybody and still survive. That’s why I say it is a calamity,” Mr. Onyekpere said.


Lawyers condemn FG’s refusal to pay
judgement debt

Reacting to this, an Abuja-based lawyer and rights activist, Levi Chukwuma, noted that failure of the Federal Government to pay Judgement Debts is a bad omen and a disregard to the rule of law.

He said this is partly responsible for why the country continues to wallow in an economic quagmire.

According to him, the government’s penchant for disobeying court orders is scaring off many prospective investors.

Another lawyer, Victor Okereke, while reacting to the issue, stated that parties to whom the judgement favour should take a step further to seek for enforcement of the said fines.

He said, “An enforcement hearing is a useful way to find out about the judgment debtor’s assets and liabilities. This information may assist you when choosing the most effective method of enforcing the judgment debt.”

MY DEAR PRESIDENT, LET YOUR PEOPLE GO

By Dele Momodu

Your Excellency, it is with every sense of love and patriotism that I have decided to write you again despite the frustration of knowing that you may not hearken to my sincere advice to you, as I have written to plead with you on several occasions, but my entreaties have been to no avail. I pray this letter meets you well in the beautiful city of London where I expect you to be resting and relaxing by now whilst waiting to undergo your mandatory physical check-up. Sir, though this piece amounts to unsolicited advice from a self-appointed Special Adviser, I wish to reassure you that you should stop banking on professional politicians who are merely using you to feather their own nests. I demand and require no gratification whatsoever other than to put it permanently and indelibly on record that someone told you the truth while the unrepentant liars took over your space and led you astray.

Before I go on, please, permit me, Sir, to take you down memory lane, from the First Republic to the present. Practically all our leaders failed, or fell, usually not because of only what they did wrong but ostensibly because of what they did not do right. Let me also establish one fact. Most of our leaders have been catapulted to power, not by their superlative might, but by divine intervention. One day, I will chronicle how providence has been responsible for the exalted position all our leaders found themselves. Sadly, practically almost all of them forgot how they reached their lofty heights and sought to personally perpetuate themselves in power, but the celestial manner of their enthronement also saw to their humiliating, sometimes tragic, downfall. Consequently, virtually all, except may be General Abdulsalami Abubakar, were disgraced, removed or retired ignominiously or controversially.
President Obasanjo who was easily the most efficient, efficacious and effervescent leader, after the brilliant and youthful General Yakubu Gowon, ended his tenure in 2007 with the reverberating hoopla surrounding his third term bid. Whether he was interested in it, or his acolytes forced him into it, all his good works would always attract that cloudy addendum. It is noteworthy, for emphasis, that no leader in Nigerian history has ever succeeded in enslaving Nigerians. We can stretch this further, by stating categorically, that no leader in the world has ever achieved absolute authority permanently. Indeed, that is a preserve meant only for God. If only humans reminded themselves constantly of this fact and their mortality!

This is the reason I wish to appeal to you once again to resist the temptation of wanting to take Nigeria back to those days of oppression and suppression. In case you need to be reminded of how much God loves you, I shall gladly oblige. When your military regime was toppled in 1985, your enemies danced on the streets. You were compared to the worst dictators on earth and many would have thought it was finished and over for you. But the ways of the Almighty are not the ways of man. 30 years later, the same Nigerians who rejoiced over the collapse of your military junta, in their collective wisdom or stupidity or amnesia, gave you a resounding victory at the polls against a powerful government and incumbent President. This was after you had tried for a record third time and had virtually given up any chance or hope of winning a Presidential election again. You had actually wept for Nigeria and yourself on that third inauspicious occasion. This time around, in 2015, everything seemed stacked against you, including old age and diminishing health. Yet Nigerians at home and abroad placed their abundant faith in you. What you have done with their faith since then is debatable.
What more could anyone ever ask for again in this life? Credit for that victory must go to everyone, including saints and sinners, in case such nomenclatures exist on planet earth. Please, let no one rewrite the history of that epic battle to dislodge the PDP behemoth. It was thus a gross miscalculation to get power by such default and try to change the narrative by saying you belonged to everyone and to no one, or whichever way it was crafted by your speechwriters. Truth is you belonged to the party that embraced you, warts and all, and all the foot-soldiers who made it possible for you to attain power once again. Not just that, you instantly became the father of the nation on that fateful May 29, 2015, and could no longer discriminate against anyone for that matter. If you wanted to govern in peace and make appreciable impact, you should have treaded softly and walked gingerly towards your ultimate destination. The war of attrition that broke out as soon as you took power was totally unnecessary and uncalled for. Except for your most loyal supporters, not many ever trusted the many fisticuffs were to the benefits of Nigeria, but only for the pecuniary gains of the privileged ones in power.
If you fight a war for over three years and you are unable to defeat your enemies, you should realise that it is either they are stronger than you or your strategy is abysmally faulty and failing. I love the Yoruba adage: “ta a ba leni, ta a ba bani, iwon la a bani sota mo…” (If we pursue an adversary and cannot catch up with him, it is better to retreat, than continue to make enemies of such a person). It is not an act of cowardice to retreat or even surrender. The fight you are pursuing right now would eventually prove too costly for you and for Nigeria, even if you manage to win it, which I seriously doubt. By the time you reach the end of it, you will discover the meaning of anti-climax. The victory will be a pyrrhic one or if otherwise, a cataclysmic defeat. Therefore, I’m shocked that you’re allowing some reckless and vengeful politicians to goad you on and mislead you into victimising those who have left your party and are now opposing you. The same people you met and laughed with recently, before our very eyes, have suddenly become enemies who must be destroyed by all means. Sir, this act is totally unfortunate. Only God can give power and only HE can take it back. You did not use force to take power in 2015, why do you then think you need to retain that power by use of force and fire?

I’m not sure if you are familiar with world history, my dear President. You may need to ask your aides to print out some dark moments in human history for your perusal. What often happens is that you will, inadvertently, turn those you’re harassing now into superstars. What you are playing with is a game of David and Goliath. It is one of the most fascinating scenes in the Christian Bible. Goliath was so confident of his awesome strength and stamina and so looked down on pitiable and diminutive David. The Holy Bible recalls their fight was a classic example of a mismatch. But Goliath suffered a crushing defeat in the hands of David. That battle is still celebrated worldwide till today, and it is a story almost every child knows and is taught to learn from. The didactic lesson from it is that not every battle should be fought and not every arsenal should be deployed. Better to keep some things till they are absolutely needed. This cat and mouse game of using State apparatus to witch-hunt deserters is becoming predictable, boring and nauseating.

Those who have decamped from APC have only exercised their fundamental rights. Whether they are morally right is neither here nor there and is ultimately a verdict for the electorate to ponder and unravel when elections, which loom large, finally arrive. Similarly, whether they are legally justified in their defection is a matter which your party may seek to take up in the courts, and I am certain that the Courts will do justice to the case as they have been doing despite terrorisation, bullying and coercion from some over-exuberant agencies of your government. I pause to observe that some of these guys were hailed by us when they joined our side the last time. At that time, we justified their defection to us as being part of the democratic process. If they have now decided to go because they believe they are not wanted by some influential gladiators in the ruling party, my dear President, please let them go. Your party’s point that they have done so for less than altruistic reasons will be considered and digested by our people who are quite politically savvy and discerning. They will make up their minds as to the rights and wrongs of it all.

Your Excellency, I want you to remember that you will not be in power forever. You have your family and friends to consider. Those who have been locked up in prison today and those being hounded could never have envisaged a day like this would ever come when there would be a reversal of power and fortune. It is too cheap for a Governor to decamp today, and then he and his operatives are being terrorised tomorrow. Power should never be abused in this manner. Who knows what would happen when tomorrow comes again?

One of the reasons former President Jonathan is respected today and enjoys some peace is because he gave you great respect though both of you fought tooth and nail over power. He tolerated many of us who supported you and did not make the occupation of Aso Rock a matter of life and death. Sir, why can’t you reciprocate this wonderful gesture? It is to his eternal credit that, in the midst of our attacks on him, I got invited to the wedding of his daughter, and was treated with decorum. Politics should never be a matter of brutish animosity. That is why I always have tremendous regard for lawyers. They may fight like savage adversaries in Court but, whilst they are there, they still show themselves some honour and respect. It is their attitude once they step outside the courtroom that is even more remarkable. Then they shed the toga of adversaries and become noble and learned friends. I wish all of us could imbibe this kind of camaraderie in the practice of our political beliefs.

Furthermore, I have copious examples that show that what you sow is what you reap. I wish to plead with you to cool temper, Sir. I know how it feels to be abandoned in the lurch by your own friends and supporters. But that is life. Everything can’t be smooth all the time. When you go to the FIFA World Cup, you do so knowing only one team can grab the much-coveted trophy. You should try to play a good and clean game and leave the rest to Allah. You have played your part to the best of your abilities and should be happy once your conscience is clear that there was no better way to do things.

Even if you decide to keep all your opponents in the gulag, it still does not guarantee that you will win the next election in 2019. But if you do it in God’s way by embracing decency and fairness, your rating will go higher. You will attract natural admiration. The love of the people cannot be forced. You’ve been drawing sympathies to the decampees because of the high-handedness and intolerance of some of your agents. As I started this mail, what kept coming back to me was a very popular autobiography I read as a youth, LET MY PEOPLE GO, written by Albert John Luthuli, the very first Black African man to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Luthuli led the African National Congress in South Africa in the apartheid years for 15 agonising years and coordinated mass resistance and non-violent crusade against the White supremacists. Though he did not live long enough to see the end of apartheid, others carried on the task and Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison, came back alive to become the first President of an independent and free South Africa.
Mr President, there is a moralistic lesson to learn from the life and trajectory of the great Madiba Nelson Mandela. He became a world Statesman for his uncommon magnanimity and spirit of forgiveness. He had the power to exterminate his former tormentors and jailers but instead he decided to set up a Truth and Reconciliation Committee that tried to integrate the whites into a new black-dominated government. Nigeria needs urgent reconciliation, healing and unification, which has led to a strident clamouring for restructuring. We should be tired of fighting for power for personal aggrandisement after groping in darkness for 58 ugly years. There are no prizes for war but there are beautiful garlands for peace.

Sir, I’m begging you in the name of God, please, let your people go, in peace.
I remain yours most sincerely…

  Udom Lambasts Senator Akpabio, As PDP Mourns Exit Of Senate Minority Leader
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 08-05-2018, 01:27 PM - Replies (5)

Governor Udom lambasts Senator Akpabio, as PDP mourns exit of senate minority leader.

Gov. Udom Emmanuel has dismissed his estranged godfather and Senate minority leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, as a greedy, insatiable man who wanted him to be his puppet. He was addressing an emergency PDP stakeholders meeting summoned to address the exit of the former governor from the party.

He told the meeting that he couldn’t surrender the government to the former governor to run from Abuja, hence, their parting of ways. He told the meeting that he did everything to please Akpabio but that he couldn’t be satisfied.

He opened up to the meeting that he had to resort to legal tactics to stop the EFCC from probing how the former governor spent state funds when he was in power but yet he couldn’t be satisfied.

The governor said his estranged godfather is too proud, egoistic and arrogant and that it took him a lot to condone him.

But some of the stakeholders who spoke at the meeting lamented that the party is in big trouble in the state as so many people may follow Akpabio to APC.

A lawmaker hinted that some members of the house of Assembly are on their way out of the party. The meeting agreed that some chieftains of the party be watch listed as they may be moles for Akpabio who’s all out to dislodge Udom from power come next election.

On the 2019 election, the governor told the meeting to brace up for tough and rough times as they are plans by the APC to rig him out of power using federal might and INEC.

The governor was advised to rid the government of all the Akpabio men.

The Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, is defecting from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a presidential aide has said.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Prosecution, Okoi Obono-Obla, posted a message on Facebook, Saturday night, saying that Mr Akpabio will be received into APC on Thursday by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and other top leaders of the party at a rally in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom state.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

SUNDAY, 5TH AUGUST.

YOU DWELL IN HIM.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations (Psalm 90:1).

In spite of the troubles, crises, and overwhelming spread of evil around the world, there’s nothing for you to fear, because you dwell in Christ. Psalm 91:1 says, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” The Lord protects and takes care of His people. In Christ, we’re never, and can never be disadvantaged; we’re victors and not victims; the Lord Jesus assured us of peace and safety in a tempestuous world.

Read His very comforting words in John 16:33; He said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” He overcame the world for you, and gave you the victory. You have dominion over Satan, circumstances, and the world. Irrespective of the crises and tribulations in the world, in Him we have peace, assurance, safety and security (John 16:33).
Your location in the spirit is Christ; that’s your dwelling place.

Therefore, you’re under the shadow, that is, the protection of Almighty God. The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, tells us, “…if any man be IN CHRIST, he is a new creature…” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Notice the underlined words, “in Christ,” showing us that Christ is your dwelling place. Christ is a person—the Man Christ Jesus—and Christ is also a place in God.
Be confident. Be courageous. Refuse to fear. You dwell in Christ; therefore, you’re shielded from harm, evil and destruction. In Him you live, and move, and have your being. He has said, “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee” (Psalm 91:7). Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

Christ in me is the glory of my life; I reign and rule in life. I dwell in Him, and carry a divine atmosphere of glory and victory. When I come in, darkness flees, because I’m the light in a dark world. Blessed be God!

FURTHER STUDY:

Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Colossians 3:2-3 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN

5th August


I affirm that I know God’s thoughts for me; they’re thoughts of peace and not of evil, to bring me a glorious end-result. I walk in the path, which He prepared for me before the foundations of the world, living the good life, which He prearranged and made ready for me! I am triumphant always, living in, and manifesting the glory of God. Hallelujah! The Lord has given me an understanding of the Word of His grace, with which my life is being built, and established in His righteousness, victory, glory, and success. I am one with the Word; it grows mightily in me and prevails over sickness, death, failure, and all negative circumstances.

The Word propels and causes me to function excellently in all my affairs. I am full of life; my tongue is a tree of life, and my spirit is a reservoir of God’s Word. Out of my heart and my mouth flow the rivers of life, and I am impacting my world with blessings. I am Abraham’s seed, and therefore, an heir according to the promise! As Abraham was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold, so have I been made exceedingly fruitful and rich in all things! I am plugged to a heavenly supply, living in abundance always. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!

SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES NOW

• Be bold to say the same things that God has said concerning you in His Word. That is what takes you beyond salvation, to enjoy the benefits of salvation

God bless you.

  APC Lawmakers Offered N150m Each To Impeach Saraki, Dogara – Timi Fran
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 08-04-2018, 12:05 PM - Replies (1)

Quote:
…State legislators to get N50m each against Ortom, Tambuwal, other

The immediate past Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progresives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has accused the presidency and the leadership of the APC of a plot to induce its Senators, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly members with humongous cash to impeach the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara.


Frank who raised the alarm in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, also listed Governors Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Abdulfatah Ahmed and Samuel Ortom as having been marked for removal in the said plot.

He said while Saraki and the governors have been slated for removal for daring to defect from the APC to the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dogara is to be impeached for fear he may soon dump the APC as well.

He described the ongoing plot to illegally dispense state funds to carry out the unconstitutional removal of duly elected public officials as the height of impunity and corruption that has been prevalent in the present administration since inception in May 2015.

Frank said: “From available information, the Presidency in collaboration with the leadership of the APC is about to dole out the sum of $400,000 (about N150million) each to APC Senators and House of Representatives members to impeach Saraki who has defected to the PDP and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara – who they fear may soon dump the party as well.

“They are also offering legislators in some State Houses of Assembly the sum of $150,000 (about N50million) each, to impeach their Governors that recently defected to the PDP.”

He said that the President has allegedly directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to foot the bills to achieve the objective of removing the defectors from their present political positions.

“I have been reliably informed that after separate meetings with APC Senators and House of Representatives members, shortly before his U.K. trip, the President summoned the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and after informing him that ‘APC lawmakers have a proposal’, he ‘directed the GMD to attend to their needs.’

“I want Nigerians and members of the international community to note that this ‘presidential order’ is coming at a period when State Governors have incessantly complained, during their monthly Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meetings in Abuja, about unexplained shortfalls in remittances of crude oil sales to the Federation Account by the NNPC.

“From this curious directive, it is now clear to Nigerians and the world at large, that the amount accruing to the Federation Account from monthly crude oil sales is being deliberately and illegally deducted at source and set aside by the NNPC – on the orders of the presidency – to fund illegal operations like their present desperate bid to remove Saraki, Dogara and Governors that recently dumped the APC.

“I am not surprised about this unholy cash inducements to lawmakers to do a dirty job because the Presidency and the APC recently conducted a dressed rehearsal of an inducement heist in Ekiti State during the ‘see and buy votes saga’ with which they allegedly rigged the Ekiti Governorship election in favour of the APC,” he said.

He however warned the presidency and the APC to desist from their present plot to illegally remove Saraki, Dogara and affected Governors, it may lead to chaos and anarchy capable of truncating democracy in the country.

He said: “Let me warn the Presidency and the leadership of the APC to desist from their present desperate plot to bribe some Federal and State legislators so as to force the illegal removal of Saraki, Dogara and Governors that recently dumped the APC.

“Let me also urge APC lawmakers to be circumspect about this unholy transaction as they will be risking the wrath of Nigerians should they yield to the inducements and attempt the illegality for which they are now being primed with loads of cash.

“Is it not curious that this illegal cash bazaar is being clandestinely orchestrated by a government that has visited untold hardship on Nigerians in the last three years?” he queried.

He pleaded with the international community to call the President and the leadership of the APC to order and also to prevail on them to stop their plan to illegally use state funds to truncate the nation’s democracy.

“I also want Nigerians and members of the international community to jointly hold the presidency and the leadership of the APC responsible for any unintended consequences of their present action aimed at removing the leadership of the National Assembly and governors who recently switched allegiances from the APC to the opposition PDP,” Frank said.

He further urged the APC lawmakers to reject such “blood money” aimed at violating their consciences and lowering their integrity, while calling on Nigerians to be extra vigilant in order to frustrate the current efforts of the Presidency and the APC to instigate chaos and anarchy in the National Assembly and some State Houses of Assembly, capable of truncating democracy in Nigeria.

According to reports, over ten persons have been killed in a fatal accident which happened on Friday (yesterday) along Akwanga/Abuja Federal Highway. It was gathered that the accident happened after a truck owned by Dangote company collided with a commercial vehicle.

The accident was said to have led to the deaths of at least 10 people and many others seriously injured. The tragic incident caused a huge traffic gridlock in the area as many gathered at the accident scene, thereby virtually blocking the highway. 

The wounded victims were rushed to the hospital by emergency officials and the corpses of the dead, deposited in a mortuary.

  2019: Buhari is a dictator, we’ll not keep quiet – Amaechi
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Gimbiya - 08-04-2018, 11:33 AM - No Replies

[Image: President-Muhammadu-Buhari-commissioning...C483&ssl=1]
A First republic Minister of Aviation, Mbazulike Amaechi has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a dictator, calling on Nigerians to end dictatorship in 2019.

According to him, there was no difference between Buhari as military Head of State and Buhari as a democratic president.
The politician was quoted by Vanguard as saying that Buhari had violated all the rules of democracy, recalling that he was the only head of State to have overthrown a civilian government.

Amaechi said, “Nigeria is practicing dictatorship. Of all the military heads of state, it’s only Buhari that overthrew a democratic government.
“Other dictators overthrew military regimes. He is still a dictator. I have been saying it.
“He may have come in through a democratic regime but there is no difference between Buhari the dictator and Buhari the President.

“Whether he is wearing khaki or agbada, he is the same. Nigerians must fight to regain the country.
“Amongst all those who fought for the independence of Nigeria, I’m the only one still alive and I urge all the political parties to come together and eschew dictatorship in the country.
“We cannot continue like this because what is happening now has not happened in Nigeria before where institutions of democracy like the legislature and the judiciary are being trampled upon. It is not something to keep quiet about.
“It is something Nigerians should fight to stop because it is dictatorship.

  Presidential Candidate: Nigerians’ll Help Us Choose Among Saraki, Tambuwal, Atiku
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 08-04-2018, 11:17 AM - No Replies

As the competition for the presidential ticket of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party gets stiffer in the run-up to the 2019 general elections, the party has said that it will rely on Nigerians to help the party choose its candidate for the presidential election.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, in an exclusive interview with Saturday PUNCH on Friday, said the party had heard that many people, including a former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki; Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; his colleague in Gombe State, Ibrahim Dankwambo; and a former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, were interested in picking its presidential ticket.

He, however, said the decision to rely on Nigerians was premised on the party’s determination to avoid past mistakes, impunity and imposition of candidates.

According to Ologbondiyan, the party is not backing any of those in line to get its presidential ticket. Others interested in getting the party’s presidential tickets are a former Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau; former governors of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido and Ibrahim Turaki; and a former Governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa.

He said, “As a party, we have so many candidates already, but Nigerians will determine their next president.

“Nigerians are desirous of change; there is no argument about that. And it is more than obvious that the APC is bent on presenting President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term. The party does not have any other alternative. So, Nigerians desiring change can’t get it in the APC. They are looking at the PDP. We don’t want to disappoint them again.

“There are so many demands in the country now. Some people are agitating for restructuring, some want a leader with experience, not somebody that will get to power and wait for another six months before appointing ministers, some want young people. All of these factors will come to play in selecting our presidential candidate.

“Nigerians will signpost who they believe should lead them. We want to produce a credible candidate. Nigerians will sing the song of the one they want to lead them; the party doesn’t have any candidate yet.”

He added, “Currently, there are debates over the age of who should be our President, whether the President should be young or old. Therefore, there are so many aggregations of opinions, so what Nigerians say about the kind of candidate they want will inform our choice.

Some people are agitating for restructuring, some want a leader with experience, not somebody that will get to power and wait for another six months before appointing ministers, some want young people. All of these factors will come to play in selecting our presidential candidate.

“Nigerians will signpost who they believe should lead them. We want to produce a credible candidate. Nigerians will sing the song of the one they want to lead them; the party doesn’t have any candidate yet.”

He added, “Currently, there are debates over the age of who should be our President, whether the President should be young or old. Therefore, there are so many aggregations of opinions, so what Nigerians say about the kind of candidate they want will inform our choice.
“We don’t want the party to be damaged again over allegations of imposition.”

Since President Muhammadu Buhari declared his intention to seek re-election in 2019, there have been discussions in political circles about who can successfully challenge him at the poll, especially in the opposition parties.

In a bid to challenge the ruling APC, the PDP and no fewer than 30 parties had recently formed a coalition in readiness for the next general elections.

Called the Coalition of United Political Parties, the collaborating parties and associations had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly present candidates for elective positions.

However, this has not stopped some members of the PDP from signifying interest in getting the main opposition party’s presidential ticket.
Meanwhile, sources in the PDP have told Saturday PUNCH that the recent defection of Tambuwal and Kwankwaso has altered political calculations among some members of the party.

It was learnt that with the two leading politicians’ interest in the presidential ticket of the party, the number of strong contenders for the party’s ticket from the North-West had increased to five.

The North-West, which arguably accounts for the highest number of votes per zone, is Buhari’s traditional political stronghold.

The zone is home to seven states, the highest number in Nigeria’s six geo-political zones structure.

A top ranking member of the party, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said, “Before now, the former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido; his former Kaduna State counterpart, Ahmed Makarfi, and a former Minister of Special Duties, Tanimu Turaki (SAN), were the most visible contestants from the North-West.

“All three lay claim to their fidelity to the cause of the PDP throughout the years as strong selling points.”

This was earlier corroborated by Lamido in an interview with Sunday PUNCH, when he said, “If we (those who remained) had left the PDP like others, would there have been a PDP to return to?”

Until Tambuwal’s recent defection, the PDP had no sitting governor in the entire zone.

However, the arrival of Tambuwal and Kwankwaso in the picture has renewed PDP’s confidence of giving the APC and its candidate a good fight.

Authoritative sources within the PDP told one of our correspondents that Tambuwal had consulted widely on his presidential ambition before his decision to dump the APC, on which platform he was elected governor in 2015.

Some of the sources, who were privy to the workings within and outside the party, said Tambuwal was being considered as a possible candidate because of his age, educational background, cosmopolitan nature and experience.

It was gathered that the former Speaker’s experience in the legislature was also being considered as an added advantage as he was initially to challenge Buhari for the APC ticket in 2014, but had decided to contest the governorship of Sokoto State.

Kwankwaso’s supporters, on the other hand, argue that his popularity in his home state of Kano, which is reputed to have accounted for Buhari’s 1.9 million votes in 2015, and the support he enjoys in other states in the North is “as good as that of the President in the region.”

Kwankwaso, who was second only to Buhari during the 2014 APC presidential primary, is being considered as someone that could pose a threat to Buhari’s re-election bid.

The former Kano State governor has however left the decision about his political future in the hands of the party.

Kwankwaso’s spokesperson, Binta Spikin, said, “I don’t know about that (presidential ambition) because now that he is in the PDP, it is for the party to decide whether it will hold a primary or adopt a candidate.

“I don’t know about that. Until the party speaks, I cannot say anything on that. I can only hope that the party sees the potential in Senator Kwankwaso and give him the ticket.”

Another source in the PDP, who also spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to be seen as taking sides, said, “The candidate that the PDP needs is someone who has the capacity to deflate the support base of President Buhari (especially) in the northern part of the country.

“It should be someone who is seen as representing the entire country and will not treat those who didn’t vote for him with less attention. Both men are believed to be popular in the northern part of the country.”

However, Director of Media and Publicity, Atiku Presidential Campaign, Mr. Segun Sowumi, expressed confidence that the party would see what his principal is to offer and give him the chance to be its presidential candidate.

He said, “Atiku has over the years been convinced that Nigeria can be great and he also believes that so much of the greatness that people believe Nigeria can be rests on the leadership and he has also had the opportunity of being inside and outside government and knows what needs to be done.”
One of Saraki’s loyalists in the Senate, who also spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media, explained that the Senate President was under pressure to join the presidential race.

The source said, “He is seriously under pressure by so many groups, friends in business, politicians – senators and governors, traditional rulers and others. But as you may know, he is somebody who listens more and will only smile than say what he will do.”

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES


SATURDAY, 4TH AUGUST

KNOWING HIM BEYOND THE SENSES.

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19).

I want you to observe the Apostle Paul’s choice of words carefully; he said, “And to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge....” How can you know something that surpasses knowledge? Here, he distinguishes between two kinds of knowledge: revelation knowledge and scientific knowledge. The word translated “know” above is “ginosko,” which means knowledge by revelation.

The other word translated “knowledge,” is the Greek word “gnosis,” which is knowledge based on science or intellectual activity. This is knowledge gained through the natural senses. Understanding the love of Christ is beyond scientific or intellectual knowledge; it requires the revelation of the Spirit.

In science, there’re no absolutes; all its laws are based on theories and assumptions. However, in revelation knowledge, there’re no assumptions. Science can’t unveil to you the passion of Jesus Christ, which He demonstrated on the cross of Calvary. No matter what books of this world you study, you’ll never get to know the significance and import of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

You may have an idea, but you won’t have the understanding; that can only be granted you by revelation of the Word of God.
Our opening verse means, knowing the love of Christ beyond your senses and human definitions. You can be a Christian for many years, or even a preacher, and still not know what the love of Christ is.

Our calling is to know and express the love of God. Part of the ministry of the Spirit in your life is to grant you this revelation knowledge; He teaches you the Word, and grants you insight into the secrets and mysteries of the Kingdom. Therefore, relying on Him, and affirming that He’s with you to teach you and unveil the Word to you as you study, is very important.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for opening my eyes to see that true knowledge can only be found in your Word. By being born again, I’ve been initiated into this specialised knowledge that divinely energises and enables me to walk in your fullness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

Philippians 3:8-10 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

4TH AUGUST.

I affirm that the Lord God is the source of my prosperity! I am established in God’s righteousness, planted in the house of the Lord; therefore, I flourish like the palm tree, with grace and glory! I bring forth fruit in season, and out of season because I am like a tree planted by the waters, ever in blossom. The anointing of the Spirit is at work in me in an increasing measure. I am a carrier of God’s grace, power, and glory.

I am an extension God, and through me, He carry out His divine purpose in this world to touch, bless, heal, uplift, strengthen, and inspire others. I am lifted and transported by the Holy Ghost into the glorious and higher realms of life, where I only see and relate with the realities of the Kingdom. The zeal for the things of the Spirit and for the expansion of God’s Kingdom has consumed me. I am a burning and a shining light; I am fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, putting on righteousness as a breastplate, with my feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. I am full of passion for extraordinary impact with the Gospel. I am a true and dependable minister of the Gospel, an ambassador of Christ.

I am effective today in turning many to righteousness, and from darkness to light, through the power of the Holy Spirit that is at work in me mightily. I shine as a star forever, because I am a soul winner; touching and impacting my world with blessings. Glory to God. Hallelujah!

Notore’s Listing Boosts NSE Market Capitalisation by N101bn
August 03, 2018  BUSINESS


                              [Image: Nigeria-Stock-Exchange-Floor.jpg?resize=696%2C522&ssl=1]
The market capitalisation of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) got a boost by N100.75 billion yesterday, following the historic listing of 1.612 billion ordinary shares of Notore Chemical Industries Plc (Notore) at N62.50 per share.

The company was listed on the industrial goods sector of the NSE. The listing was the first this year.


Notore, which is a vertically integrated agro-allied, chemical and power group based in Onne Rivers State, has six subsidiaries. They are Notore Supply & Trading Mauritius Limited, Notore Power Limited, Notore Seeds Limited, Notore Foods Limited and Notore Industrial City Limited.

Speaking on the reasons for the listing on the NSE, the Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Notore Plc, Mr. Onajite Okoloko, said it was to support the Nigerian government’s effort to deepen the capital markets, improve liquidity and tradability of the company’s shares. In addition, he said the move would increase the company’s visibility and credibility in the Nigerian market and beyond.

“The listing will also increase access to capital in order to fund the company’s future growth initiatives and grant Nigerians the opportunity to participate in the Notore’s growth history,” he said.

Giving a brief history of the company, Okoloko said, formerly O-Secul Fertilizer Company Limited, Notore was established in 2005 to acquire the core assets of the National Fertilizer Company of Nigeria (NAFCON).

“Our core business is the production and sale of fertilizer products, which is traded locally (within) Nigeria and exported to West Africa, Southern Africa and Europe. Our key strength lies in our huge potential to diversify our revenues due to our favourable location within a prolific gas hub and access to a jetty, which guarantees easy export of any products manufactured in the facility,” he said.

Disclosing the value proposition of the company, Okoloko said Notore remains the only urea producer in sub-Sahara Africa with control over gas supply and has vast distribution network in the local Nigerian market. According to him, it currently produces 1,000 metric tonnes of urea fertilizer on daily basis.

“Notore sells 75 per cent of its urea fertilizer locally and export 25 per cent to leading international traders such as Helm Ag, Ameropa and Yara. Notore is a licensed independent power producer, which generates electricity for use in the fertilizer plant and residential estate with excess capacity available for sale to nearby off-takers. Total capacity of 50 megawatts(MW) with own use requirements of between 8-13MW,” he said.

On the financial performance of the company, Okoloko said revenue grew from N21.285 billion in 2013 to N35.985 billion in 2017, while profit after tax rose from N1.694 billion to N8.652 billion the respective years.

Looking ahead, the GMD said Notore had secured approval for US37 million facility to fund its turnaround maintenance program, acquire and install back-up power supply and acquire critical plant spares.

“In the medium term, Notre will develop new compound fertilizer blends specifically for key growth crops, expand the company’s seed business and develop a crop protection business. We will also leverage the company’s free zone developer status to develop the proposed industrial complex into a gas hub and an integrated logistics service provider to the oil and gas sector,” he said.

21 states to benefit from N489bn FG refunds – Sen. Umeh
August 03, 2018  NEW



                          [Image: Victor-Umeh-330x242.jpg]
Twenty one states of the federation are to benefit from the N489 billion approved by the Senate to be refunded to states as funds spent on federal projects in their areas, according to a senator.

Sen. Victor Umeh (APGA Anambra Central) disclosed this in an interview with newsmen on Thursday in Awka.

Umeh spoke in his capacity as a member of the Ad-hoc Committee on Promissory Note Programme and Bond Issuance that approved the refund.


He said the refund became possible following the rescinding of an earlier Senate resolution on the committee’s interim report of June 7.

“The Senate decided to settle some of the outstanding claims and liabilities of states in the sum of N488,743,526,204.77 based on state by state claims,” he said.

According to him, Lagos State topped recipients of the refund with N114.6 billion while Akwa Ibom came second with N78.7 billion.

“Zamfara State will get N60.02 billion from the refund; Ogun, N59.2 billion while Anambra will receive N37.95 billion.”

He explained that Anambra presented a bill for N43 billion but N37,970,048,097.03 was approved for the state.

“The approval of the refund followed a motion by Sen. Francis Alimikhena (Edo-North) that the Senate should settle inherited local debts and contractual obligations on refund to state governments for projects executed on behalf of the Federal Government.”

Umeh enjoined the Federal Government to release the money on time so that states especially, Anambra, could put such fund to use.

“The Deputy Governor of Anambra, Dr Nkem Okeke and I, led the Anambra delegation to the refund defence.

“I devoted my time to it because Gov. Willie Obiano is doing well and needs as much assistance as possible to continue his good work,” he said.

Sterling Bank records 63.4 per cent half-year profit



                               [Image: Sterling-Bank-1062x598.jpg]
Sterling Bank Plc, has reported a 63.4 per cent surge in net profit for the first half (H1) ended June 30, 2018.

The lender reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of N6.2 billion and gross earnings of N77.6billion against PAT of N3.8billion on gross earnings of N57.1 billion during the corresponding period of 2017.

The Chief Executive Officer of the bank, Abubakar Suleiman, said: “We sustained our momentum in the second quarter, delivering solid growth across key financial indices.


We also achieved a 35.9 per cent growth in gross earnings to N77.6billion from N57.1billion in the second quarter of 2017.

“This was largely driven by a 25.1 per cent growth in interest income and a 56.5 per cent growth in transaction banking revenues, emphasizing our commitment to our retail drive.”

Suleiman disclosed that net operating income was up 29.1 per cent, on the back of a 54.8 percent reduction in impairment charges.

“Sterling Bank experienced significant improvement in asset quality as cost of risk declined further by 86 basis points to 0.8 per cent from 1.6 per cent in June 2017, reflecting the strength of our risk management framework.

Overall, Profit after Tax rose by 64.8 per cent to N6.2billion resulting in a 370-basis point increase in Return on Average Equity to 12.2 per cent.”

During H1 2018, the bank launched disruptive market offerings that included Farepay, Specta, and Sterling One Pay.

The most recent innovation, One Pay, is an upgrade of its mobile and internet banking solution in line with its digitisation drive, and promise to continuously innovate to meet customers’ evolving needs.

One Pay is designed to create an omni-channel experience for users by integrating both web-based Internet and mobile banking solutions.

In addition, the bank’s commitment to partnerships also resulted in the deployment of I-invest, a first-of-its-kind investment app that allows retail customers instant access to treasury bills.

I-invest eliminates entry barriers such as lack of education and information to make smart investment decisions and the ability to get a broker and/or time required to visit banks to fill forms for treasury bills.

On the prospect of the bank for the second half of the year, Suleiman said Sterling Bank would continue to explore and exploit opportunities already identified across the growth sectors of the economy while actively supporting special intervention and social investment programmes.

  Don’t Crucify Ortom For Leaving APC, Says Soyinka
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 08-03-2018, 07:50 PM - Replies (1)

Nobel laureate, Prof . Wole Soyinka , said on Thursday that no power or force should crucify Benue State Governor , Samuel Ortom , for returning to the Peoples Democratic Party from the All Progressives Congress .
Soyinka , while clarifying that he was not campaigning for any political party , said that was his position on those who defected from the APC to the PDP.
He said , “ I am not campaigning for any party . That is my position on those that leave their party to another . They do it for all kind of reasons . And I do not believe that Ortom , the governor of one of the states , should be crucified by any power or force for taking decision. ’’

The playwright spoke in Lagos at the launch of his latest interventions series , Interventions VIII , titled Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes ? : Gani ’ s Unfinished Business. The book , which formed the text of his speech at the 10th memorial lecture of the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi ( SAN ), was officially released to the public by Bookcraft on July 3, 2018 .
Soyinka said he had , in a letter written to Ortom , told the governor that, “ As the leader of a state that experienced attacks , you have a right to seek the promise of an alternative means of security for your people because they remain your primary responsibility.
“ We are all free over the actual choice of an alternative destination but no one can deny the inalienable entitlement to such action especially when they are provoked by disillusionment and sense of impotence under existing association.

“ Suddenly we see the beginning of a heavy - handed campaign , reprisal and unruly circles over your political decision. This goes beyond any immediately- affected state . And alert us all to the threat against uncommon democratic definition and the basic right of free choice of political powers towards its attainment . I can only urge you to remain resilient , unbowed and undeterred . ’’
The don also berated the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for investigating the governor , adding that Ortom left his former party ‘‘due to the crisis in the country. ’’
“ Due to the crisis in the country, someone defected and then the EFCC started chasing him . Does that look like a coincidence or what?’’ Soyinka queried.

He said ex - President Olusegun Obasanjo was busy hijacking existing movements, warning Nigerians to be wary of him .
He added , “ He frustrated the June 12 and often put himself forward on any issue. He is welcome to reform and as his slogan may be , the redemption process has started . I don ’ t give up on him and you will be astonished how I have often wished him well when he inaugurated his Presidential Library , I had planned to attend the event but I had a rethink .
“ I don ’ t remember the good he has done . It will be very difficult to find one . I can ’ t remember one at this moment . ’’
He noted , however , that between now and 2019 , there was still an opportunity for a reform of the country.
According to the playwright, there are acts of mis- governance and unforced errors under the Muhammadu Buhari administration .
He said , “ There are unforced errors and acts that are considered stupid . And failure to secure lives and languages of self- excusing which were condemned in the past but resurfacing all over the place . ”

Soyinka , who decried the glossing over of “ intolerable degrees of bloodshed in the country, ” said , “ Also , failure to exert authority when and immediately when due which led to the killings. There is a cheapening of lives . The value of lives in the last year or so , on a level we haven ’ t witnessed in the country for a long time ; and that is one of the reasons it has become essential that we all embark on ground- clearing for a new generation of leaders . And to make sure that in the process , we don ’ t bring back what we are just getting out from. That is one of the stupid acts that we could be held responsible for by the coming generation . ’’
The session was moderated by a media professional , Mr Kunle Ajibade ; Chairman, Editorial Board of the Nation Newspaper , Sam Omatseye ; and human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana ( SAN ) .
Some others at the session included Prof J . P . Clark -Bekederemo , Prof Ademola Abass the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Overseas Affairs and Investment , Gboyega Banjo ; General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of the Musical Society of Nigeria Centre , Lagos, Kolawole Koiki .

Kendra Wilkinson: I Wanna Finish Divorcing Hank Baskett So I Can Go Get Laid!

We've seen Kendra Wilkinson tweet her anger at her ex and then apologize (sort of) to Hank for ruining his life (sort of). Divorce negotiations can lead to a lot of emotional outbursts.
Well, insiders say that Kendra is beyond eager to wrap up this divorce process so that she can go on with her life.

Part of that is because divorce is zero fun. But part of that is because Kendra wants to get laid again.


According to E!Kendra Wilkinson wants to wrap up her divorce from Hank Baskett sooner rather than later.

According to an insider, Kendra is eager for the "divorce to be done and over with."

Hey, we get it. Divorce is no walk in the park.

"Kendra and Hank's divorce is not final yet," the source reveals.

The insider adds: "It has been a back and forth process."

That's how divorces work -- except for the extremely one-sided ones, anyway.

"And," the source continues. "They have been sorting out the custody limitations and agreements."

That is a standard part of the divorce process, but can be agonizing. What parent wants to agree to days when they cannot see their children?

Kendra and Hank are still busy negotiating, the insider explains, "which is prolonging the situation."

"She understands that a divorce in general takes a great amount of time to process," the source acknowledges.

"But," the insider says, Kendra "is completely over it."

The reality star has a host of reasons to want this painful process to end.

"Kendra has been more mellow recently," the source reveals.

Kendra is a single parent for the first time, the source reminds the world, "and wants to prove that she is a great mom."

Kendra wants to make it clear that she can handle it, the insider notes, "and deserves to have the kids 50/50 custody with Hank."

Of course!

But there's more than parenting in play. Kendra is a human being, folks.

The insider says that Kendra "is trying to be low-key right now until her divorce is finalized."

Specifically, when it comes to her romantic life. So we probably shouldn't expect to see her out in public with some boy toy on her arm ... just yet.

"Kendra is focused on her kids right now," the source emphasizes.

The insider goes on to note that Kendra "is not publicly dating."

The word publicly may be significant, there. We are well aware that Kendra is horny by nature and has lamented that she pushes her sex toys to the limit.

As you may have guessed after Kendra asked her fans on Twitter for dating advice earlier this summer, Kendra's unquenchable thirst for the D didn't die with her marriage.

"She definitely wants to go out, party, and date people," the insider clarifies.

As a reality star and public figure, however, it sounds like she's trying to hold off on that until she can put this divorce nightmare behind her.

"She is 100% ready to move on from Hank," the source says. "And date around."

We're sure that she's looking forward to that.

We hope that she manages to snare a guy who can keep up with her appetite, though. Again, this is a woman who says that she wears out sex toys.

Best of luck.

  Cardi B: I Can't Wait to Ride Offset's Baloney Pony Again!!

Cardi B: I Can't Wait to Ride Offset's Baloney Pony Again!!

Last month, Cardi B gave birth to her first child with Offset, just weeks after admitted that she had secretly married him.
Though Cardi is recovering from childbirth, she is being very vocal on social media about her eagerness to have sex with her husband again.

Folks, this is what we call being horny on main.
[Image: cardi-b-and-offset-image.jpg]
Cardi took to Twitter to highlight an image of her husband and baby daddy Offset.

Accompanying a photo of him wearing a cowboy hat, Cardi writes: "Hey cowboy, I want to take a ride on your horse."

Fun fact: she is speaking almost entirely in flirty euphemism, a fact not lost on her followers.

One wrote back, suggesting that she should wait before sex: "You probably still gotta finish healing first."

That commenter was right! Childbirth is wonderful but the reality of it is pretty horrifying and takes its toll on the body.

Cardi knows that and acknowledges that her follower was right ... but her reply didn't end there.




Cardi B knows that she needs to wait until her body heals before she bangs Offset again.

Not only that, she knows exactly how long.

Cardi's reply: "3 weeks and 4 days!"

"Yes b--ch," Cardi writes. "I’m counting ,wassup!"


Good for her for knowing what she wants and for owning her sexuality.
[Image: cardi-b-tweets-about-thirst-baby-number-2.png]

This was only part of Cardi's interactions with fans.

One fan replied: "This pic made Cardi say YEEEHAWWW!"

Cardi quotes that tweet with a series of tearful laughing emojis.

Another commented: "Baby #2?"

Cardi adamantly replied: "Ummmmm NO."

One new baby in the house is enough.

[Image: cardi-b-in-many-colors.jpg]

Another fan had a similar thought, writing: "Cardi about to make baby #2"

"Can ya stop saying that?!" Cardi asked. "If I get pregnant again imma curse ya out !!!"

That's fair.

"Don’t you want a brother or a sister for Kulture?" one nosy fan asked.

"She got 3 already!" Cardi reminds fans. "Later on in life I’ll have more babies "

[Image: cardi-b-in-white.jpg]

Cardi wrote about the baby she already has.

"My baby shleep," Cardi shared with fans. "Should i go to my basement and do a verse for TASTE?"

She also commented on little changes she'd made now that she is a mother.

"Ok so if you noticed i changed my nail shape from pointy to square so i won’t hurt my baby," Cardi tweeted.

That is very thoughtful!

"I’m thinking about only changing my pinky nail shape back to pointy," Cardi wrote. "So i can take my babies little boogers out."

A little graphic. Also, they make tools for that.

[Image: cardi-b-on-the-red-carpet.jpg][url=https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/gallery/cardi-b-on-the-red-carpet/]

Cardi makes some interesting tweets. One of her most recent was:

"I don’t know if b--ches wanna fight me or eat my p--sy?" Cardi writes. "Both?!"

She continued: "I’m with it when it comes to both."

Honestly, Cardi is such a delight. She's a little wild -- no, a lot wild -- but she's clearly devoted to her new role as a mother and is even changing her lifestyle to suit her baby's needs.

Of course, since Offset was arrested on gun charges while violating his parole, some fear that Cardi may recover from childbirth ... only to lose Offset to prison.

But that's what conjugal visits are for.

  Kylie Jenner: Caitlyn Is the Reason I'm a Billionaire!

Kylie Jenner: Caitlyn Is the Reason I'm a Billionaire!
 
lAs you may have heard, Kylie Jenner's cosmetics line is quite popular.
So popular, in fact, that Kylie is almost a billionaire as a result of her wildly successful lip kits and other products.

[Image: kylie-jenner-rocks-a-sporta-bra.png]

Of course, there's a reason that so many have taken issue with the phrase "self-made" being applied to Kylie.[/url]


But Kris wasn't the only parent to raise Kylie, and it seems the 20-year-old mogul wants to remind the world that there's another important role model in her life.

Kylie has been extremely close to her father for her entire life, and she credits Caitlyn Jenner for helping her grow into the incredibly successful adult she's become.

Now, she's repaying the favor by getting Caitlyn involved in her several hundred million dollar makeup empire.

[Image: kylie-andn-cait.jpg]

In a recent Instagram story, Kylie brought Caitlyn on camera to help her introduce a new filter that allows fans to see how they would look in various lipstick shades without actually having to buy the product.

"What is an Instagram filter?" asked a slightly confused Caitlyn.

"I saw, ‘Oh Kylie is using an Instagram filter.’ What the hell is that?”

Kylie patiently explained the concept to the 68-year-old former Olympian:

"Try on all my colors and it just makes you look flawless with a little lash," she stated.

[Image: caitlyn-jenner-addresses-her-fans.png]

The father-daughter duo seemed to enjoy trying on different shades together, but more important than the new product launch was the obvious bond that they share.[url=https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/gallery/caitlyn-jenner-addresses-her-fans/]

Of course, this isn't the first time that Kylie has shared her love for Caitlyn on social media.

Most recently, she paid tribute to Cait on Father's Day by posting a collage of photos of the two of them together.



“So lucky to call you my dad,” she captioned the post.

And we're sure Cait is equally happy to call Kylie her daughter.

Rick Genest Commits Suicide; Lady Gaga Mourns Death of Music Video Co-Star


Rick Genest, a model best known to music fans for his appearance in Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" video, was found dead in his Montreal home on Wednesday.


He was 32 years old.

According to local reports, the Canadian model took his own life, although no further details are available at this time.

In a message on Facebook, Genest's management company said he "was loved by all those who had the chance to meet him and know him."

Translated from French, this is what the message reads:

The whole dulcedo family is shocked and pained by this tragedy. Zombie boy, Rico, was loved by all those who had the chance to meet him and know him. Icon of the artistic scene and the fashion world, this innovator, against popular culture, has been able to charm all hearts.

We received the unfortunate news at the beginning of the afternoon and members of the team have come to support his family and relatives in this dark and difficult moment.

We want to present our deepest condolences and the legend will survive human.

Thank you zb for these beautiful moments in your company and for your radiant smile.

Lady Gaga, meanwhile, who has spoken out often about her own struggles with mental health and about the challenges others face in this area, also paid tribute to Genest on Instagram.

The suicide of friend Rick Genest, Zombie Boy is beyond devastating," the artist wrote, adding:

"We have to work harder to change the culture, bring Mental Health to the forefront and erase the stigma that we can’t talk about it. If you are suffering, call a friend or family today.

"We must save each other."

The singer subsequently added two other messages along these same sad lines:

FIRST:

Kindness and mental health aren’t one time practices. They aren’t just to do list items.

This fall, in partnership with @btwfoundation, I’ll explore the power of habits to build cultures of kindness and wellness.

SECOND:

Science tells us that it takes 21 days to form a habit, if you are suffering from Mental Health issue I beckon for today to be your first day or a continuation of the work you’ve been doing.

Reach out if you’re in pain, and if you know someone who is, reach out to them too.

Genest holds a Guinness World Record for the most insect tattoos on his body (a total of 176), as well as another record for the most human bone tattoos at 139.

Prior to his passing, Genest was involved with the Home Depot Canada Foundation, an organization that aims to bring awareness to youth homelessness.

Per iHeartRadio, Genest found work as a model after being featured in the Gaga's aforementioned music video, modeling for magazines such as GQ, Vanity Fair, and Vogue Hommes.

May he rest in peace.
