  2019: What Will Happen If Buhari Does Not Seek Re-election – Governor Bello
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 03-06-2018, 08:38 AM - No Replies

The Niger state governor, Abubakar Sani-Bello has warned that Nigeria’s economy will fall back into recession if President Muhammadu Buhari failed to contest for re-election in 2019.

Sani-Bello, while advocating total support for the president’s re-election ambition come 2019, assured Nigerians that they will not regret re-electing Buhari into office in 2019.

He stressed that Buhari’s re-election into presidency in 2019 will help stabilise Nigeria’s economy and solve challenges facing the country.

The governor stated this over the weekend while receiving the people of Kontagra at the government house in Minna

According to him, “The support declared by the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors was to ensure continuity and sustainability of Buhari’s good work in Nigeria.

“If President Muhammadu Buhari does not contest in 2019, there will be problem in solving the enormous challenges facing the country because he is truthful, fair and just in administering the country.

  Mike Tyson’s Mansion Taken Over By Church, Pastor Says It’s A Miracle
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 03-06-2018, 08:25 AM - No Replies

[Image: mike-tyson.jpg]

A mansion belonging to a former heavyweight boxing champion, Mike Tyson, in Ohio, USA, has been taken over by the Living Word Sanctuary Church.

The Mansion is to be converted into a church. The building, covering 25,000 square feet, was donated to Living Word Sanctuary Church after Paul Monea, who initially bought it from the ex-boxing champion was convicted of money laundering.

Monea was imprisoned in 2007 – eight years after he bought the property from Tyson for $1.3m.

The swimming pool room had been turned into the main auditorium while the basketball court turned into a youth centre.

Speaking to the Tribune-Chronicle, church pastor Nicholas DeJacimo said, “us getting this is a miracle.

“It was basically donated to us because the former owner needed to write it off. I tell the congregation God literally gave us this.

“He literally gave us a free campus to do whatever we want. We will use it to glorify him.

“Work is continuing on the renovation. Once completed church members will move from the local YMCA where they’ve recently been meeting.”

  Thierry Henry Gives Condition For Replacing Wenger As Arsenal Manager
User Avatar Forum: Sports World
Posted by: Edoman - 03-06-2018, 08:22 AM - No Replies

Former Arsenal striker, Thierry Henry, has said that he can only replace Arsene Wenger as manager, if the club asked for his help.

Henry, who has many times in the past indicated interest in the job, insisted that he has never backed down from a challenge.

Wenger’s future at the Emirates is the topic of intense speculation, after a fourth successive defeat in all competitions against Brighton on Sunday.

But when asked if he would want the job should a vacancy arise, Henry told Sky Sports: “Listen, I’m a competitor, you don’t back down from a challenge.

“We are hypothetically speaking before people jump ahead of everything, [but] I have never backed down from a challenge since I was young.

“If I had listened to people who were talking about where I was going to be, I would not have been here.

“When I arrived at Arsenal, they said to me, ‘Why are you outside of the box, you will never score goals?’ with my position being on the left or whatever it was. You don’t back down from a challenge, you always think that you can.

“When I came back to play for Arsenal, everybody, all my friends were saying, ‘It can only tarnish your legacy, why are you going back there?’

“If you love a place and they ask – I repeat, they ask – for help, you are always going to say yes. What I am saying to you is again, we are talking about hypothetical thoughts.”

Henry however admitted that only Wenger will decide when he will walk away from the job.

He added: “We are talking about shall he quit or not – I can never say that. I am not sitting on the fence, I can never say that.

“I have battled with this man, I can never say that. Do you understand what I mean? I can never say that.

“What I don’t want to see is what’s happening to him, and I would like him to have the last word, whatever word it’s going to be.”

  Morning Devotional For Tuesday 6th March

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

TUESDAY, 6TH MARCH.

Pastor Chris

TOPIC ✨ THE WORD AND YOUR INHERITANCE✨

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, AND TO GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE AMONG ALL THEM WHICH ARE SANCTIFIED (Acts 20:32).

When the scripture says the Word is able to give you an inheritance, it means the Word is able to deliver the inheritance to you. Imagine that you have an inheritance and you can’t claim it, because you require some evidence; you require an attorney to go in on your behalf to present the right documentation that shows the inheritance is rightfully yours, before it’s given to you. The lawyer didn’t “give” you the inheritance, but he helped you get it. That’s what the Word does for you.

God already gave us the inheritance. The Bible tells us we’re joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17). Now, because of Jesus, all things are yours. All of God’s resources belong to you, and through the Word of God, you can know and take possession of your inheritance. The Word informs, directs, and leads you in the blessings of God for your life.

Colossians 1:12 says, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.”*_ Study and meditate on the Word every day, for it’s the book of your inheritance. There’s no way of appropriating the blessings of God to your life except by the knowledge of the Word.

Your victory, success and prosperity are in the Word: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:8).

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you that through your Word, reality is unveiled to my spirit, causing me to walk in my inheritance in Christ. Your Word in my mouth prevails over circumstances, and activates your blessings in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: Psalm 16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

2 Peter 1:3-4 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

  Anambra, Enugu Speakers Reject Cattle Grazing Bill
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 09:09 PM - No Replies

Quote:By Jude Chinedu, Enugu

Speakers of Anambra and Enugu Houses of Assembly have dismissed the idea of initiating a grazing bill in their legislatures saying that such a notion has never been considered at all.

Speaking in separate interviews during the South East Speakers Conference in Enugu on Saturday, Anambra Speaker Barr. Rita Maduagwu noted that the Assembly had earlier condemned the idea, ” we have no such intention at all” she said.

Also reacting on the issue Rt. Hon. Edward Ubosi said there is no chance of such a bill in Enugu State.He however, noted that there is a growing understanding between the people of the state and herdsmen informing that Governor IfeanyiUgwuanyi is building a good relationship amongst residents of the state.

In her address during the inauguration of the South East Legislative and Governance Reform Committee, chairman of the South East Speakers Conference and Anambra Speaker Rita Maduagwu said the forum will position the Assemblies to promote, share and adapt effective legislative/governance reforms and learning across the region.

“Our interest is to coordinate the implementation of legislative reforms that will improve service as well as identify best legislative practices and share among the South East legislatures for adoption.”

She noted that the forum which is a baby of the DFID is also expected to facilitate the development of legislative frameworks, mechanism and systems that will enhance the functionality of the Houses of Assembly in the region. “If these are achieved, the Assemblies will find it easier to domesticate and adapt federal enactments that will bring about improved service delivery, better standard of living, superlative oversight and representative functions.”

Maduagwu further noted that the South East Legislative and Governance Reform Committee will liaise with South East Governors Forum to reach Citizens, groups, institutions and professional bodies for improved delivery of public goods and services.

“Capacity building for members of the Legislature and staff would not be overlooked. This platform will adopt a passionate and proactive approach towards identifying opportunities to promote the training of legislators and staff.”

  Buhari’s Visit To Taraba, Benue, An Afterthought, Says Fayose
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 09:03 PM - No Replies

[Image: 5dd3eb1644ab96b847e6574a0405bf02.jpg]
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Taraba and planned visit to Benue, Zamfara, Yobe and Rivers states as an afterthought.
According to him, the President is more concerned about his reelection in 2019 and his visit to those states is to seek votes and not to sympathise with the people on their loses.
Fayose, in a statement issued on Monday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said it was the height of cruelty that the same President, who promised to lead from the front in the fight against Boko Haram, could not visit Dapchi, Yobe State where 110 school girls were abducted by the insurgents but went on merrymaking in Kano.
“On January 9 and 12, this year, 88 victims of herdsmen attacks were given mass burial in Taraba State. Also on January 11, 2018, another 73 persons killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Benue State were buried in a mass grave in Makurdi, the state capital.
“Meaning that in Taraba and Benue States alone, 161 Nigerians were given mass burial within three days! This never caught the attention of our President. Rather, it was a visit to Nasarawa, a neighboring State to Benue that was important to him.
“To further demonstrate his lack of compassion for Nigerians, while the entire nation, especially parents of the 110 abducted school girls in Dapchi, Yobe State are still in anguish, President Buhari went to Kano last Saturday to attend a social function, thus sparking negative reactions from Nigerians.
“Apparently, it was the negative reactions of Nigerians, especially on Social Media and the effects on the President’s reelection bid that necessitated his hurried visit to Taraba State today, and planned visits to Benue, Zamfara, Yobe and Rivers States.
“I am sure the people of Taraba State won’t be hoodwinked by the President’s cosmetic sympathy, show of concern and crocodile tears, which he never bordered to shed when hundreds of indigenes of the State were being killed by suspected herdsmen,” the governor said.”

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, on the occasion of his 81st birthday.

In a statement by the APC through their National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, “Our party joins family, friends, well-wishers and associates in celebrating the retired general who has emerged as a bastion of democracy, good governance and development in Nigeria and beyond.

“Chief Obasanjo has inspired a generation of Nigerians notably in the area of entrepreneurship, leadership and education, especially through his non-profit initiatives, the Africa Leadership Forum (ALF) and the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library.

“His legacy as President has continued to inspire good governance on the continent even after so many years and he remains an influential voice in different facets of our national life. As a true Nigerian patriot and statesman, Chief Obasanjo has over the years built solid bridges across political divides in the country, on the African continent and the world at large.

“Our prayer is that Chief Obasanjo continues to age in health and wisdom as he contributes to the unending task of nation-building”.

  EFCC Re-arraigns Alao-akala, Two Others Over Alleged N11.5bn Fraud
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 05:59 PM - No Replies

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Monday re-arraigned a former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, and two others in an Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan over alleged N11.5bn fraud.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the other defendants are a former Oyo State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Senator Hosea Agboola; and an Ibadan-based businessman, Femi Babalola.

The defendants are facing 11 counts bordering on conspiracy, awarding a contract without budgetary provision, obtaining by false pretence, acquiring property with money derived from an illegal act and concealing the ownership of such property, among others.

EFCC’s counsel, Dr. B. Ubi, told the court that when Alao-Akala was the governor of Oyo State, he awarded a road contract worth N8.5bn between 2007 and 2009 to Pentagon Engineering Services.

Ubi alleged that the firm, owned by Babalola, handled the contract on behalf of the 33 local governments without budgetary provision.

The counsel further claimed that Alao-Akala ordered the supply of drilling machines on behalf of the 33 local governments in the state to the tune of N3.5bn.

He also alleged that Alao-Akala conspired with Ayoola to withdraw N2.9bn from Oyo State Local Government Joint Account.

The prosecutor told the court that Alao-Akala also illegally acquired some property on Old Bodija road, off Rotimi Williams road, when he was the governor of the state.

He said the offences contravened Section 22 (4) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act and Section 1 (18) of the Advanced Fee Fraud Act.

The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Mr. Hakeem Afolabi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and counsel to Alao-Akala and Babaloa prayed the court to exercise its discretion in granting bail to the defendants.

Afolabi said the charge before the court was not a fresh one but a re-arraignment.

He said the matter was first filed on October 11, 2011 before Justice Moshood Abas and bail was granted after the defendants met the conditions.

NAN recalls that the defendants had also appeared before Justice Akintunde Boade and Justice Bayo Taiwo who was recently transferred out of Ibadan Division.

Afolabi said Alao-Akala was granted bail in the sum of N5m with two sureties in like sum; while the other defendants were granted bail in the sum of N3m each with two sureties in like sum.

Afolabi urged the court to allow the defendants to enjoy their earlier bail conditions.

Mr. Richard Ogunwole, another Senior Advocate of Nigeria and counsel to Ayoola, aligned with the submission of Alao-Akala’s counsel.

The EFCC’s counsel said he would not oppose the bail applications.

Justice Muniru Owolabi granted the defendants’ prayers and adjourned the case till April 16 for trial.

Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 05:58 PM - No Replies

Quote:The Federal Government has pledged to rebuild houses destroyed during herdsmen-farmers’ clashes in parts of Southern Kaduna, an official said on Monday.

The pledge was made when the Presidential Committee on Herdsmen-Farmers Clashes headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo assessed the level of destruction in affected communities in the area.


Mr James Akujobi, who led the assessment committee to Kaduna State, told newsmen in Kafanchan that the aim was to ensure that victims resume back their normal lives.

Akujobi, an Executive Director at the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said the team was in Southern Kaduna to evaluate level of destruction recorded with a view to rebuilding affected structures and rehabilitate those affected.


“It is the intention of the government that all those affected by the conflicts are rehabilitated by way of rebuilding the structures destroyed so that they can come back to their homes and continue with their normal lives,” he said.

The official assured that the federal government would fast track action to ensure that members of the affected communities, especially farmers return to their normal activities.


Also, Executive Secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Mr Ben Kure, said the agency would provide the necessary assistance to the presidential committee to achieve its purpose.

“As a host agency, SEMA is playing the role of providing the needed logistics that would make the work of the visiting team easier.

“We will assist the committee to arrive at a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the affected locations,” he said.

Earlier, Malam Tanko Tete, the Tum Ninkyob of Kaninkon Chiefdom, said at his palace in Bakin Kogi, that the setting up of the committee demonstrated federal government concern for the people.

He said that members of the community had been praying for such intervention which would bring succour to victims.

“It has not been easy with the victims even though some were already making plans to rebuild their structures,” he said.

The committee plans to visit Ninte, Ungwan Ajo, Golkofa, Godogodo, Dogon Fili, Gadabiyu, Anton, Pasakori, Kario, Dalle, Asso, Goska, and Dangoma in Jema’a local government.

  Liberia Seeks 6000 Teachers From Nigeria- Liberia President
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 05:55 PM - No Replies

Liberian President, George Weah, has called on the Nigerian government to provide 6000 teachers to his country as part of the Technical Assistance agreement between the two nations.

Speaking Monday shortly after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House Presidential Villa in Abuja, Mr. Weah said his government inherited many problems which can only be tackled with assistance from countries like Nigeria.

Mr. Weah was inaugurated into office on January 22 after defeating immediate past vice president Joseph Boakai of the Unity Party.

Addressing journalists after his meeting with Mr. Buhari, the Liberian leader identified some of the urgent problems facing his country as youth unemployment, as well as the need to revive the education, agriculture, mining and health sectors.

“Your sustained technical assistance for capacity building in these sectors is most welcome. For example, Nigerian teachers and medical volunteers to Liberia, under the Technical Assistance Corps TAC) Agreement with Liberia, have been very crucial in boosting capacity development in Liberia, and it is my hope that this assistance can be considerably increased to address with urgency our most pressing socio-economic needs at this time.

“More specifically, under the Bilateral Teacher Exchange programme, we are seeking 6,000 plus teachers to make up for the shortage of good teachers in our educational system,” he said.

Mr. Weah thanked Mr. Buhari for the invitation extended to him and said his delegation was on a mission of “gratitude and respect for the extraordinary and exceptional role that you, our Nigerian brothers and sisters, have played and continue to play in maintaining peace and stability in the West African sub-region, and more particularly, in Liberia”.

He said although Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa, “with the most powerful army in our sub-region, you have never used your wealth and military prowess to expand your territory, threaten your neighbours, or destabilise any sovereign nation in the region”.

He also said the prices of Liberia’s two basic export commodities, rubber and iron ore, continue to fall on the world market, which have diminished the country’s foreign exchange earnings from the export of the commodities.

He asaid most export earnings of Liberia is used mainly to import food and other commodities, causing massive trade deficits while youth unemployment is at an all-time high, and prices of basic commodities continue to increase.



“Our people have voted for change, and for hope. And change is finally here. But mere political change is meaningless without development, prosperity and growth.

“Your Excellency, we need Nigeria’s help to jump-start our economy. You played a major role in bringing peace to Liberia, you reformed our Army and today it is performing its duties to the highest professional standards. As we speak, they are serving in a peace-keeping mission in Mali.

“You have also built and expanded the capacities of Liberians in so many ways. For example, during our recent observance of Armed Forces Day in Liberia, we were informed that two of our military personnel will soon be graduating as pilots from one of your esteemed institutions.

“We would like to see a continuation and expansion of that programme, for both men and women,” he said.

Liberia is open for Nigerian businesses

Mr. Weah also declared that Liberia is now open for business to the Nigerian private sector.

He said there is a need to address the current volume of trade between the two countries, which is very low and does not exceed five million dollars, by some estimates.

“Yet, the Liberian banking sector is dominated by Nigerian banks, and I am made to understand that their Head offices in Nigeria may be considering reducing their support or even shutting them down because of the recent downturn in our economy.

“If this is true, I urge them not to do so, as l am optimistic that trade and commerce will increase in the near future.



“ There are also major shortcomings in the electricity and power sectors, in road construction, in housing, in mining, and in fisheries, to name a few, that could be of serious interest to Nigerian investors, either as individuals or companies, or through joint-ventures or public-private partnerships.

“ We invite all of you to come to Liberia and explore the many new opportunities for investment that abound to increase under this new political dispensation. I promise you that you will find a government that is not only business friendly, but ready to do business.

“ On a personal note, President Buhari, it is my intention, with all due respect and affection, to frequently seek your wise counsel and advice as we embark upon this arduous task of nation-building, reconstruction, and transformation of my country.

“ Nigeria’s historical benevolence towards Liberia cannot be quantified. And once again, we seek your urgent and critical assistance,” he said.

The former Vice president expressed sadness at the increasing rate of violence in Mambilla

He urged security agencies to ensure that culprits were brought to book in order to avoid a repeat of the same incident.

“It breaks my heart that the Mambilla has lost its serenity to violence and avoidable deaths.

“It is important that we bring culprits to justice else others will be emboldened to thread the same path as the resurgence of violence in Mambilla has shown,” Atiku tweeted.

  Man Escapes With Arrow In His Back After Attack By Fulani Men. Graphic Photos
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 03:59 PM - No Replies

An armed Fulani attack on some farmers at Nyiwa Village in Mambilla on Thursday, 1st March 2018 sparked off a spiral of herdsmen-farmers clashes across some villages in western Mambilla Plateau in Sardauna LGA, Taraba State of Nigeria.

According to reports gathered, the initial attack at Nyiwa village which happened on 1/3/2018, started after the Fulani militia shot dead two Mambilla men in their farmland at Nyiwa community.

The Fulani herders had destroyed the fence around the farm the previous day which the farmers quickly and peacefully repaired. The Fulani allegedly destroyed the fence for a second time within a space of about 24 hours. When the farmers returned to the farm and were about to re-erect the fence, the Fulani gunmen, allegedly led by the said Maigari Gagarau and brother opened fire on them from a nearby bush in which they had laid in ambush, killing two farmers instantly.

The head of one of their victims was further macheted to pieces by Maigari’s team. They subsequently shot dead two other Mambilla men. As the alarm of this gruesome killings went round the village, residents scampered about in panic, some rushing to attempt to rescue those trapped by the attack. These people, however, similarly came under the same gunfire.

The villagers inevitably clashed with these armed herdsmen in the farm resulting in further casualties.

According to online reports, these Nyiwa killings sparked off a wave of fighting between herdsmen and farmers in the area. Nevertheless, the Nyiwa attack by the herdsmen turned out to be the head of a series of coordinated attacks organized and executed by the Fulani leaders, which quickly spread to other villages such as Yerimaru, Kasalasa, Ngesoo, Yelwa and the Mambilla Escarpment Road.

Reports of Fulani mercenaries arriving Maisamari, Nguroje and Gembu on Saturday, 3 March 2018 were rife by evening of that day. Some of these were allegedly lodged at the residences of certain Miyetti Allah leaders, Ardo Juli and Ardo Ali in Nguroje, according to the Sardauna stakeholders forum.

The Fulani mercenaries alongside their local militia began action around Yelwa with the slaughter of a Mambilla woman from Takam Village, east of Maisamari on Saturday, 3 March 2018. She was daughter-in-law to a certain Late Nasamu of Takam. The woman was returning from market when the Fulani mercenaries caught up with her and slaughtered her like a ram. Local residents pursued and neutralized 4 of her killers, while others escaped.

The following day, Sunday, 4 March 2018, an group of heavily-armed Fulani mercenaries left Maisamari and entered Yelwa in a convoy akin to regular army deployments. These heavily-armed mercenaries selected Mambilla houses in Yelwa shooting men, women and children and burning down the houses.

All non-Fulani people in Yelwa, particularly, the Mambilla and Kaka, were invariably affected. Several girls have been reported missing, having been abducted by these ruthless invaders.

  Mentally-Deranged Anglican Priest Sets ATM Of Imo Microfinance Bank, Aba On Fire
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories

Quote:Chidiebube Okeoma , Owerri


A man , identified as an Anglican Church priest , has set the two Automated Teller Machines installed by Imo Microfinance Bank at Aba Branch in the Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State on fire .

The man , whose action caused pandemonium in the area , equally set his motorcycle on fire before he was overpowered by security men and bank customers .

An eyewitness , Kingsley Chukwu , told Southern City News on Sunday that the incident happened on Friday .

Chukwu disclosed that the cleric identified as Rev . Chukwunyere Ibezim of St . Stephen ’ s Anglican Church , Ugiri in the Isiala Mbano LGA , was beaten by an enraged crowd .

“ Rev. Chukwunyere Ibezim of St . Stephen ’ s Anglican Church , Ugiri in Isiala Mbano LGA is cooling off his heels in the police net for breaking into the bank in broad daylight with a gallon of fuel and setting the two installed ATMs on fire.

“ On noticing that people would go after him , he smartly ran out of the bank , set his own motorcycle on fire in a bid to scare people away and took to his heels .

“ A mob went after him and almost crushed him . It took the intervention of policemen from the Ehime Mbano Divisional Headquarters to save him from being lynched.

“ The sum of N 100 , 000 was recovered from him . A new hammer was equally recovered from him . He came on a brand new motorcycle which he later set ablaze also , ” Chukwu narrated .

Chukwu , who lamented the wanton destruction, said the damage would affect the locals as it was the only commercial bank within the area .

Imo Microfinance Bank has only three branches in Imo State. The one attacked by the priest is the only one in Ehime Mbano .

It is a Rescue Mission Project attracted by the former Transition Committee chairman of Ehime Mbano LGA , Chike Orjiako , who is currently the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor Rochas Okorocha , on Assets and Liabilities .

Confirming the arson , the Commissioner of Police in the state , Chris Ezike, disclosed that the medical checks ran on the priest by his command revealed that the suspect was a psychiatric patient.

Ezike, who condemned the unprovoked attack on a public facility , said the cleric had been taken to a psychiatric home in Enugu State.

"Why pounded yam at 10pm won't make you fat" - Dietician reveals top tip for losing weight

[Image: dietician%2Brevelas%2Btop%2Btip%2Bfor%2B...weight.jpg]

28 year old clinical and sports dietician Leanne, is out to show people, especially women, a more realistic way of losing weight. Leanne says. eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive or hard. She shares tips for really being healthy... 
Below is her tip...

When it comes to healthy eating, many think it
is an expensive, time-consuming and difficult prospect.

But one dietitian is there to bust all of these myths. 
Leanne Ward, 28, from Brisbane - or The Fitness Dietitian on Instagram - says that her goal is to 'show people that healthy doesn't have to be hard, it doesn't have to be boring and it doesn't have to be expensive'.
Here, Leanne speaks to FEMAIL about re-adjusting your health and fitness goals, and adopting a truly healthy attitude towards diet and exercise. According to Leanne, who works as a clinical dietitian and sports dietitian in Brisbane, the health industry can often be confusing for men and women:
'Healthy doesn't mean calorie counting, excessively exercising or weighing yourself daily,' she told FEMAIL.
'Healthy looks different on everyone, so my goal is to teach people - especially women - to love their bodies, to nourish them and to move them regularly.'
The 28-year-old added that she believes when you're eating 'wholesome, nutritious foods, your body will tell you when you've had enough'.
Leanne shares this message on her Instagram profile, but also illustrates ideas around balance with what you eat - or the fact that one takeaway meal will not make you fat.

For Leanne, who works full-time as a dietitian and has a Bachelor of Health Science degree, alongside a Masters of Dietetics and Certificate in Public Health, the biggest nutrition myth around is that one diet or style of eating works for everyone:
'Don't be fooled into thinking that what worked for your friend or neighbour or work colleague might work for you too,' she explained.
'At work, people often ask me how much I weigh or how many calories I eat, but it's completely irrelevant.
'I'm 1.83 metres tall, so what I eat is going to be very different to someone who is 1.53 metres. We are all individuals and if one way of eating or one macro split worked for everyone, then we wouldn't have an obesity crisis.'
Leanne's top tip is to see a professional:
'If you are exercising and wondering what your macro split should be, book in to see a sports dietitian. Rather than googling it or asking your friend what they do, invest in your health and refer to someone who has studied it for four plus years.'
She also recommends making time for your health and fitness:
'We all live such busy fast-paced lives that we never find the time to do anything.
'Most of us get to the end of every day completely exhausted, order takeaway and pass out on the couch.
[Image: one%2Bsalad%2Bwont%2527%2Bmake%2Byou%2Bh...%2Bfat.jpg]
I encourage women to think of health and fitness like an investment in their health - an investment in their future. If you're sick, you'll make time to schedule an appointment with the doctor. Think of health and fitness this way too.
'Schedule your workout into your diary like an important work meeting you wouldn't miss and schedule some time on Sunday to meal prep as it'll save you so much time during the week and minimise the need to eat out.'
Speaking of meal prepping, Leanne Ward - like many fit and healthy people - is a huge fan of planning ahead and getting organised:
Most people fail because they are busy and eat on the run or out too much - meal prepping eliminates the need to cook when you're tired, busy or stressed.
You don't need to meal prep every single meal or snack - even if you just prep breakfast for five days this week, you'll still have five healthy meals you may not have had otherwise.'
She also recommends incorporating gratefulness into your daily regime:
Spend five minutes each day being grateful - gratitude turns what we have into enough. Learn to be thankful for what you already have while you pursue all that you want.'
Lastly, Leanne says it's all about giving yourself a break:
So you ate a brownie or a tub of ice cream - welcome to the club - there are ten billion of us!
One treat isn't going to make you gain weight, in the same way that one salad won't make you healthy.
People need to understand that we're all human and can't be perfect all the time. If you slip up or your eating goes off track for a few days, it's not the end of the world.
Instead of writing off the rest of the week, start by getting back on track with the very next meal. Healthy eating Monday rarely makes it past Thursday for most of us.
'If you practise eating wholesome foods and moving your body regularly, then there's plenty of room for cake, wine and cheese occasionally and you're far less likely to blow out at the weekends.'
Leanne Ward is known as The Fitness Dietitian online.

“No-one is more hated than he who speaks truth”- Plato.

These deeply profound and insighful words of Plato, Ancient Greece’s greatest and most reverred philospher, who was a student of the great Socrates and a teacher of the great Aristotle, are as true today as they were in 400 BC when he wrote them.

You will not read the following account about President Muhammadu Buhari’s so-called “war against terror” in Nigeria’s mainstream media because they have mostly been compromised and intimidated by the Federal Government. You can however read it in this two-part essay if you are interested in knowing the truth.

I urge as many of those that care and that can get through it to spread the word and let the international community know the truth about what the Nigerian people are passing through.

Despite the hatred and aggression it always attracts towards its purveyor, truth remains truth and, for the sake of posterity, it is worth defending and, if necessary, dying for. And the truth about our war against terror is as follows.

Today Nigeria is in the terrifying grip of a bloodthirsty two-headed dragon which is empowered, fuelled and energised by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The first head of that dragon is that of Boko Haram and the second is that of the Fulani herdsmen and terrorists.

This two-headed dragon feeds on the flesh and blood of the Nigerian people and until it consummes or captures every living soul in our nation it shall not relent, refrain or desist.

I say this because, like the leader of the horrendous Nightwalkers in HBO’s famous classic series, “Game of Thrones”, the rider of Nigeria’s Nightwalker dragon is our very own President Muhammadu Buhari and he brings nothing but death and destruction.

Those that expect him to master it, tame it or cut its two heads off are expecting him to drop his most awsome weapon and to fall out of the sky in mid-flight.

He will never do it and it will never happen because that is his strength, pride and source of power. He needs the two-headed dragon from hell to take him to his next destination and to his next level.

Simply put, without the blood-sucking, flesh-eating, bone-crushing and life-taking dragon-beast that he controls and rides, Muhammadu Buhari is nothing.

Blood is the currency in the realm of the spirit and the spilling of it gives him power. The more blood is spilt the more power he gets.

This explains why such little emotion is displayed by our President and next to no concern is shown by him when the people of Nigeria are abducted, enslaved, hacked to pieces and slaughtered by either of the two heads of his beast.

When one scrutinises Buhari’s so-called war against terror over the last three years the first question we must answer is whether we can really expect one terrorist to fight another terrorist successfully?

Simply put, the question is whether darkness can defeat darkness or whether evil can overwhelm evil?

Consider the following.

In 2000 Buhari asked the late Governor Lam Adesina of Oyo state “why are your Yoruba people killing my Fulani people” when Fulani herdsmen and terrorists suffered a series of heavy reprisal attacks and killings after they had attacked and killed many Yoruba farmers in Oyo state.

In 2001 he told the Nigerian people that “Muslims should only vote for Muslims”.

In 2001 he told the Nigerian people that it was his intention to “spread sharia law ALL over the country”.

In 2002 he told the Nigerian people that “Christians have no business with the matter and should not complain when limbs are being cut off in the name of sharia because those limbs are Muslim limbs and not theirs”.

In 2003 he proclaimed that the Muslims of Nigeria should “all work together and win power at the centre because when the Muslims of the north join hands with our  Muslim brothers in the south-west we are more in number than the Christians”.

In 2013 he told the Nigerian people that “an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North”.

In 2014 his trusted political associate and a man by the name of Alhaji Lai Mohammmed from Kwara state who played a key role in his 2015 presidential campaign and who was later appointed as his Minister of Information announced to the world that it was “wrong, unjust and unconstitutional to proscribe Boko Haram and to describe them as a terrorist organisation”.

In 2016 his official spokesman at the Presidency, Mr. Femi Adesina, told the Nigerian people that Buhari would not comment on the cold-blooded butchering and murder of no less than 808 Christians in Southern Kaduna on Christmas day and Christmas eve by Fulani terrorists because the Presidency “regarded the matter as a state-affair”.

In January 2018 Buhari told Governor Samuel Ortom and the elders and traditional rulers of Benue state that “the Fulani herdsmen and cattle-rearers are your brothers and you must find a way to accomodate them” after those same terrorist herdsmen had butchered over 1000 innocent people in Agatu occupied their land two years ago and hundreds more all over the state since that time.

And it is the same story all over the Middle Belt and the south where Fulani terrorists and herdsmen slaughter innocent Nigerians in the most gruesome and horrific manner and circumstances and destroy and steal their homes, farms and land without any fear of being brought to justice or being resisted or confronted by any of Buhari’s northern-Muslim-led security agencies and Armed Forces.

So now I ask, which “war against terror” or “war against Boko Haram” or “war against the Fulani terrorists and herdsmen” are we referring to or is Buhari fighting? Can he really be expected to fight himself?

To people like Buhari unarmed men and women who do not threaten others with violence and who have never killed anyone, like members of Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB, are the terrorists whilst murderous and zombie-like beasts that take pleasure in slitting open the throats of babies and infants and in slaughtering thousands of innocent and defenceless men, women and children are not.

I am sorry to tell the world and the Nigerian people that the Federal Government has been lying to them. They have not been waging any serious war against terror, no Fulani terrorists or herdsmen have been arrested or brought to justice and Boko Haram is as deadly and strong today as it has been in many years.

If anyone doubts that they should find out how many local government areas Boko Haram control and how often they attack and carry out successful operations in major cities in Borno and Yobe states.

They are killing as many people today as they did five years ago but the difference is that the govermment has suppressed the information and ordered a media blackout of these terrible events.

On the abduction of the girls from their school in Dapchi, Yobe state the situation is even more pathetic because it could have been avoided.

When you pay millions of dollars in ransom to Boko Haram over 3 years, when you lie to the world that you have defeated them, when you release thousands of their foot soldiers and commanders from prison and claim that they have “repented” and when you compel the media to suppress the truth about the gains they have made in parts of the country why should you or anyone else be surprised about what happened in Dapchi?

It was bound to happen because you have empowered and emboldened them!

Worse still is the fact that the Govermor of Yobe has said that the soldiers that were guarding Dapchi were removed 24 hours before the attack and abduction took place.

The question is who gave the order to remove them and why?

Again the fact that military intelligence (DMI) had formally informed the Nigerian Army and the Federal Government that an attack on Dapchi was imminent and that the warning was brushed under the carpet and ignored raises even more questions.

Finally some time back the Daily Trust Newspaper and BBC Hausa Service reported that on two separate occasions the military came very close to capturing Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, but that they were ordered by someone in Abuja to step down the operation, back off and let him go at the last minute. This again begs the question: who gave the order and why?

We need to know what is really going on because it looks as if some of these people were complicit in these terrible and shocking events!

All this is bad enough yet nothing exposes the level of deceit and insincerity of the Buhari administration more than their reaction to the abduction. First they said “no girls were kidnapped!” Then they said “sorry we lied!”

Then they said “ALL the girls have been rescued!” Then they said “sorry we lied!”

Then they said “SOME of the girls have been rescued!” Then they said “sorry we lied!”

Then they finally admitted that 110 girls had been taken and that none of them had been rescued, seen or heard from since. WHAT A GOVERNMENT!

Worse of all some of the parents of the abducted girls were detained, threatened and harassed by security agents and the military simply because they told the world the truth about what has happened to their girls and because they were exposing the lies that the government kept churning out.

If anyone doubts this they should please ask Stephanie Hegarty of the BBC who has done an excellent job in this respect and who has kept the international community aware of all the events with her twitter handle and her excellent reportage with the BBC.

That is how bad the situation is and our government has clearly lost control. They are more interested in covering up their own deceit, incompetence and complicity than fighting or stopping the activities of Boko Haram. (TO BE CONCLUDED).

  Fulani Herdsmen Attack Farmers In Taraba, Kill Many (Graphic Photos)

FRESH MERCENARY HERDSMEN ATTACKS IN MAMBILLA

Being a Press Release by the Sardauna Stakeholders Forum, Jalingo

An armed Fulani attack on peaceful and armless farmers at Nyiwa Village in Mambilla on Thursday, 1st March 2018 sparked off a spiral of herdsmen-farmers clashes across some villages in western Mambilla Plateau in Sardauna LGA, Taraba State of Nigeria. 
Initial Attack at Nyiwa Village (1/3/2018)
The Fulani militia attacks began with the shooting to death of two Mambilla men of Nyiwa Community, in their farmland at Nyiwa by some armed herdsmen led in the attack by a certain “Maigari Alhaji Gagarau” and his younger brother. The Fulani herders had previous day destroyed the fence around the farm which the farmers quickly and peacefully repaired but which the Fulani destroyed for a second time within a space of about 24 hours. When the farmers returned to the farm and were about to re-erect the fence, the Fulani gunmen, led by the said Maigari Gagarau and brother opened fire on them from a nearby bush in which they had laid in ambush, killing two farmers instantly. The head of one of their victims was further machetted to pieces by Maigari’s team. They subsequently shot dead two other Mambilla men. As the alarm of this gruesome killings went round the village, residents scampered about in panic, some rushing to attempt to rescue those trapped by the attack. These, however, similarly came under the same gunfire. The villagers inevitably clashed with these armed herdsmen in the farm resulting in further casualties. According to eyewitness reports, some of the Fulani armed assailants fell victim of their own device too. 
This farm, statutorily and repeatedly adjudged and allocated as farmland by the Local Government Council to the Nyiwa Community, was contested in court by the Fulani herdsmen. The Chief Magistrate’s Court, Mile Six, Jalingo discharged the accused farmers, Hamanjoda Nyiwa and others, on Tuesday, 27 February 2018 for want of jurisdiction. The Fulani litigant, Maigari Gagarau Jalike, and his team, feeling supported by their AK47s, decided to take the law into their hands by resorting to armed attack on the farm and triggered this crisis. But they were also aware of the procurement of arms and mercenaries, whose assault was awaiting any scuffle at all. 


Spread of Attacks to Yerimaru (2 March 2018)
These Nyiwa killings sparked off a wave of fighting between herdsmen and farmers in the area. Nevertheless, the Nyiwa attack by the herdsmen turned out to be the head of a series of coordinated attacks organized and executed by the Fulani leaders, which quickly spread to other villages such as Yerimaru, Kasalasa, Ngesoo, Yelwa and the Mambilla Escarpment Road. In Yerimaru Village (Furi) on 2 Friday, March 2018, the Fulani staged another attack. A certain herdsman militia leader named Bello Gidado, who lives in Yerimaru drove to the entrance to the village in a Hilux utility vehicle and blocked the road out of the village, yelling, “No Mambilla will get out here alive today”. He was armed with an Sub-machine gun (SMG) and magazines of many rounds of live ammunitions strapped round his waist. 
This action of Bello Gidado’s group in Yerimaru sparked off the Yerimaru incident. He continued his shooting spree until subsequently chased off, but not disarmed or arrested, by a Police Mobile Force team. Bello Gidado and other militia members continued their action in another section of the village. 
Later in the night, the Bello Gidado militia group launched furher attacks in the Village. Bello was reported to have organized the Fulani militia along with certain Cameroonian elements to attack Mambilla people in Yerimaru Village. They first targetted one Alh. Barkindo, a Mambilla man’s shop but the shop was saved by nearby good Samaritans. With Bello Gidado at the head of the Fulani militia, the Fulani rained down gunfire on the villagers defending the shop and houses. Eyewitnesses reported that the ground was strewn with heaps of exhausted ammunition cartridges “like sand” on the ground at Yerimaru. 
It can be recalled that few weeks back, Bello Gidado the armed herdsman and his group disturbed Yerimaru residents nightly with gun blasts as they trained in the use of firearms. Soldiers were called in to investigate the military drills by the Fulani militia and the soldiers gave the Fulani militia a deadline within which to surrender their arms. It would appear that that exercise never yielded the desired result and Bello Gidado and group continued their arms drills with impunity. 
Meanwhile, armed Fulani mercenaries were ferried in three Hilux vehicles from Nguroje to reinforce the attack at Yerimaru. The first vehicle passed through Kakara but the last two were blocked and destroyed by residents defending their area. The first Hilux-load reinforcement of Fulani mercenaries joined the fray in Yerimaru, and even unleashed gunfire attack on the Police Station there without any significant resistance from the Police. Eventually, a SARS officer returned fire chasing off the invaders who were, however, neither arrested nor disarmed. 

Ngesoo and Tela Attacks (3 March 3018)
At Ngesoo, a village in the Leme Federation, also came under Fulani militia attack with military assistance from some soldiers stationed at Tela. Two Fulani militiamen from Tela area took along two Army personnel to Ngesoo, claiming that they were on an arms search mission that targetted only Mambilla people. On arriving the village, one of the Fulanis machetted a Mambilla man in the presence of the two soldiers who did nothing to prevent it. There were no men around except some women. The women came to the rescue of the machetted man, and finding difficulty dealing with the women, the soldiers fled from the scene, leaving the Fulani militia to struggle with the women, who eventually overcame the Fulani invaders. Meanwhile, the Fulanis kept boasting and threatening the indigenous community that the soldiers were here for their own cause. 
The two soldiers sneaked back to Tela Village where they were led by other Fulanis to fire at Mambilla women going to the stream to fetch water. Two of the women were shot, one of them known as Hawa was fatally struck by bullets through her heart. Her nine-month old child in her hand was equally shot. The other was shot through her arm. Hawa finally gave up the ghost at General Hospital Gembu on Sunday 4 March 2018, leaving behind her injured 9-month-old infant, while the other woman and Late Hawa’s child are still receiving medical attention. 
On Sunday, 4 March 2018, the soldiers returned to Ngesoo and arrested six (6) Mambilla men who were not in the village at the time of the incident the previous day. As usual, the pro-herdsmen DPO of Gembu Police Division, Alah Bura, was inclined only to arrest the victims of Fulani attacks but not the attackers. 
The Yelwa Massacre (Saturday-Sunday, 3 - 4 March 2018)
Reports of Fulani mercenaries arriving Maisamari, Nguroje and Gembu on Saturday, 3 March 2018 were rife by evening of that day. Some of these were reportedly lodged at the residences of a certain Miyetti Allah leaders, Ardo Juli and Ardo Ali in Nguroje. It can be recalled that prior to the 2002 Fulani mercenary invasion, the son of Ardo Juli known as Abdullahi, shot dead a Mambilla youth, Ibrahim Dumna, in cold blood. 
The Fulani mercenaries alongside their local militia began action around Yelwa with the slaughter of a Mambilla woman from Takam Village, east of Maisamari on Saturday, 3 March 2018. She was daughter-in-law to a certain Late Nasamu of Takam. The woman was returning from market when the Fulani mercenaries caught up with her and slaughtered her like a ram. Local residents pursued and neutralized 4 of her killers, while others escaped. The following day, Sunday, 4 March 2018, an group of heavily-armed Fulani mercenaries left Maisamari and entered Yelwa in a convoy akin to regular army deployments. These heavily-armed mercenaries selected Mambilla houses in Yelwa shooting men, women and children and burning down the houses. All non-Fulani people in Yelwa, particularly, the Mambilla and Kaka, were invariably affected Several girls have been reported missing, having been abducted by these ruthless invaders. It became clear that the Miyetti Allah had engaged Bokoharam terrorists well practised in female abductions. By the evening of Sunday, numberless corpses littered the village and were being evacuated to Gembu Hospital. 
Soldiers drafted to Yelwa left quickly and were no more seen in the area by evening of Sunday. The soldiers were neither pursuing nor attacking these terrorist invaders and there were fears of a re-invasion by the marauding terrorists. 
Maisamari, Tunga and the Mambilla Escarpment (4/3/2018)

On Sunday, 4 March 2018, the entire Maisamari-Tungan Ahmadu-Escarpment highway was taken over by hundreds of armed Fulani mercenaries emerging from Gashaka area. Local residents told of lwo-flying helicopter hovering over the Mambilla Escarpment and the Gashaka-Gumti National Park suspected of dropping arms for the mercenaries. Several people were killed by these mercenaries on the Escarpment Highway. Corpses of Mambilla men and women travelling from Jalingo to Gembu were found strewn on the ascent on Sunday, 4 March 2018. An entire Mambilla family travelling down the Escarpment in a car came under mercenary Fulani gun attack on the Escarpment and narrowly escaped through a volley of bullets to be hospitalized at the Serti Army Hospital. Afterwards, the terrorist invaders set up a roadblock at the Mambilla foothill near Tungan Ibi, indiscriminately shooting at travelers. The Commissioner of Police, Aderemi’s convoy ran into these mercenaries on his way to Mambilla on Sunday and captured four of the mercenaries whom he took along with him to Gembu. 
The children of a certain Fulani known as “Gandi”, who lives around Maisamari, were actively involved in the attacks around the Maisamari-Tunga-Escarpment axis, guiding the foreign mercenaries to selected Mambilla targets. They had been trained in arms use at Dujire bush by a someone described as “Sgt Sangirr” alongside the children of a certain Alh. Faruk of Belel Village near Maisamari. This team of armed trainees were responsible for the 7 January attack and killing of 5 Mambilla men and injuring of 6 others in a private Mambilla home in Maisamari, after meeting held earlier that day at the residence of a certain herdsman known as Kato, near the Maisamari Cattle Market. These have constituted themselves into a terrorist outfit in the area and have terrorized motorists quite frequently in recent times. The DPO Gembu ensured that they operated without let or hindrance as he ignored all information necessary to arrest and checkmate the rise of terrorism in that axis. 
The Village Head of Maisamari, a certain Kadiri, has also been fingered as complicit in the terror organization in the area. The arms drills at Dujire, the terror plot meetings, and the attacks and killings by Fulani militia in the Maisamari axis take place under his ostensible approval and he has accordingly never reported these well-noised atrocities to the authorities. 
This infiltration of Mambilla Plateau by foreign terrorists is a repeat of the Fulani mercenary invasion of 2002 in which the terror-sponsoring Miyetti Allah leaders brought in mercenaries from Niger and Chad republics to attack the Mambilla Plateau in a failed attempt to capture the Plateau from its indigenous inhabitants.
OUR STAND
1. In every incident on the Mambilla Plateau in this crisis, the herdsmen have been the unprovoked aggressors while the farmers have been in the defensive. 
2. We condemn in totality the hiring of armed mercenaries and terrorists by the Miyetti Allah Fulani association. Those arrested by the Commissioner of Police should be able to provide the required information about all accomplices. 
3. We equally condemn in strong terms the massive importation and distribution of deadly weapons by the Miyetti Allah Fulani group. In this regard, we call for the arrest and prosecution of all known sophisticated arms peddlers and users including Saadu Ahmadu of Hanare area, Hamman Gidado of Nguroje, Bello Gidado of Yerimaru, Kato of Maisamari, the Faruk and Gandi youth in the Maisamari area, and all others noted to have connection with the crime. 
4. We condemn with a loud voice the gruesome destruction of lives and properties arising from the Fulani attacks.
5. We call for the immediate removal from the Mambilla Plateau of the Divisional Police officer of Gembu Division for his open bias against the indigenous populations. He has constantly arrested victims of Fulani terror attacks, as in the Maisamari, Tela and Ngesoo cases.

He is simply a Fulani activist and pro-Fulani Police Officer incapable of promoting or maintaining peace in the area.
6. The initiating attack on Nyiwa farm was part of a well-coordinated schedule of pogroms organized by the Miyetti Allah in Mambilla area, with collaboration from Miyetti Allah leaders outside Taraba State. Accordingly, we demand the proscription, arrest and prosecution of the Miyetti Allah leaders involved in the dastardly mercenary invasion, including Alh. Ahmadu Bello, Waziri, 
7. We call on the Federal Government to without delay declare Miyetti Allah a terrorist organization for widespread terrorist acts not only in Mambilla biut across this nation.
8. We demand the arrest of the Fulani “Mustapha Gembu”, who has been very active in promoting Fulani herdsmen terrorism by coordinating a media campaign of hate and long publication of inflammatory media materials over several months. 
9. We call on the Operation Cat Dance leadership to ensure that their operation is not skewed to favour any group.
10. We call on every citizen of Sardauna Local Government to remain calm and avoid taking the law into their hands. We shall cooperate fully with Government to maintain the peace we all need.
11. We condole all those affected in any way by the mercenary attacks.
12. We also wish to reiterate that the incident is not unconnected with the recent threats of the emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, and that this underscores the need for the highly placed to stop spurring their followers into unnecessary violence.

  Mom of boy who suffered near-fatal allergic reaction on flight says airline didn't do

Luca and the American Airlines crew after he suffered anaphylaxis from eating a cashew. (Photo: Facebook/Francine Valerie Ingrassia)
A 10-year-old old boy who suffered a near-fatal allergy attack after consuming one cashew on an airplane was saved by quick-thinking passengers. Now his mom is asking American Airlines why it didn’t do more to help her child.
On Wednesday, Francine Valerie Ingrassia detailed her horrific ordeal in a Facebook post that received more than 1,000 likes and shares. “I’m sharing my story to RAISE Awareness. My son had serious Anaphylaxis symptoms on our flight home last night,” she wrote. “He ate one cashew from the nut mix he was served on our flight and within minutes he had severe stomach pain, chest pain and stridor breathing. If it was not for the quick thinking stewardess on the plane, the nurse who administered the epi pen and cared for him the entire trip, and passengers who gave us their epi pens, this would have been fatal.”
Ingrassia added, “American Airlines had no epi-pens in their medical kits. We were not aware of any allergies that our son had with cashews before this flight… the scariest thing was that American Airlines did not have an epi pen in their medical kits and served nuts on a plane? We need to change this. Shame on American Airlines for not having an epi pen in their medical kits.”

I’m sharing my story to RAISE Awareness. My son had Serious Anaphylaxis symptoms on our flight home last night. He ate…
On Feb. 27th, Ingrassia and her four children, ages 18, 15, 12, and 10, were flying home to Garden City, New York from Aruba, where they had spent the week on vacation.
About 30 minutes into the flight, her 10-year-old son Luca was offered a cup of warmed mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, and pistachios) from the First Class in-flight food cart, a snack, his mom says, he eats “all the time.”
But 15 minutes after consuming a single cashew, Luca started complaining of stomach and chest pain, and a tickling sensation in his throat. His face also turned red and he had trouble breathing. “None of my children have nut allergies but I knew immediately he was in trouble,” Ingrassia tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I called over the flight attendant and said, ‘What can we do? Look at his face, he’s having an allergy attack.’”
Luca was experiencing anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that sends the body into shock within minutes or hours of ingesting an allergen. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms include stridor breathing, (a wheezing sound that occurs when the airway is constricted), skin rashes, nausea, and low blood pressure. The treatment for anaphylaxis is an injection of epinephrine (adrenalin), typically administered with a prescriptive Epi-Pen, which relaxes the airway muscles to allow breathing.

Ingrassia says the flight attendant requested an emergency landing in the Dominican Republic, then over the intercom, asked if there was a doctor or nurse on board.
Fortunately, a fellow passenger, a nurse from St. Louis, rushed over and yelled for an Epi-Pen. “The crew said they didn’t have any Epi-Pens or Benadryl, so two teenage girls offered their own pens, the first of which didn’t work,” says Ingrassia. However, the second pen, fortunately, an adult portion appropriate for Luca’s 66-pound weight, was a success.
About an hour or so later, the plane landed in Miami for its scheduled connecting flight and paramedics treated Luca on board, providing the family with a Junior Epi-Pen, which Ingrassia says wasn’t appropriate for her son.
“In the airport, I asked a manager to please stop serving nuts on our connecting flight,” said the mom. “He said he couldn’t do that because it would be an infringement on the rights of other passengers. He also advised me that if I told the crew on the connecting flight about Luca’s reaction, they would send me to the hospital.”
Per the company website, patients are urged to visit the emergency room after using the Epi-Pen, in the event that the dosage wears off or a second attack occurs. “Neither the paramedics or American Airlines told me to go to the hospital,” says Ingrassia. “When we boarded our connecting flight, I told the crew what happened and asked them to stop serving nuts. They said ‘no’ because that wouldn’t be fair to the other first-class passengers.”

According to Bruce M. Prenner, M.D., a board-certified allergist at Allergy Partners of San Diego, Luca’s reaction to cashews isn’t all that surprising. “Food allergies can develop suddenly with no prior warning, especially in regard to milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and eggs,” he tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “Are there extraneous factors in our environment? We don’t understand it. We do know that carrying an epinephrine is crucial for reversing respiratory distress.”
Luca cannot return to school until his nut allergy is formally documented and filed since visiting a doctor, where he tested positive for allergies to all tree nuts. His mom now carries Epi-Pens. “Nurse Kelly was a complete miracle and she saved my son’s life,” says Ingrassia, adding that she reached out to a local St. Louis newspaper in the hopes of finding the woman and properly thanking her.
American Airlines spokesperson Michelle Mohr tells Yahoo Lifestyle, “We are grateful that Luca is O.K. and that our crew members and passengers, including a nurse, came together quickly to provide him the care he needed. We hope he is feeling better and understand how frightening the reaction must have been for him and his mother. We reached out to his mother and spoke with her this morning.”
Mohr added, “The medical kits onboard our aircraft comply with federal regulations and contain Epinephrine – the same medicine contained in an Epi-Pen. Our professional flight attendants are familiar with the contents of the onboard kits. They are able to provide general First Aid and are trained in CPR and using an AED. But we require a licensed medical professional to administer more extensive forms of treatment like injections for the health and safety of our customers.
“We are following up with our crew to thank them for moving quickly to take care of Luca and to learn more about the situation onboard and how they managed it. We thank our crew members and our passengers onboard for moving fast and working together to take care of Luca as quickly as possible.

Meghan Markle’s family will likely travel to England to watch their daughter get baptized and confirmed into the Church of England later this month, according to a report from The Sunday Times.
While Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, will travel from her home in California to be with her daughter, her father Thomas, who lives in Mexico, will likely make the trip abroad as well, according to the outlet.
The future royal has asked Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to conduct the private ceremony at Kensington Palace, The Sunday Times reported. The Archbishop ishelping prepare her and her fiancé Prince Harry in the lead up to their wedding at St. George’s Chapel on May 19.
A Kensington Palace spokesman had no comment on the report.

Meghan was brought up as an Episcopalian — which has some similarities to the Church of England — but was enrolled in a Catholic high school in Los Angeles. Shortly after her engagement in November, palace sources outlined her plans to formally be baptized into the Church of England.
Harry — whose grandmother Queen Elizabeth II is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England — was baptized as an Anglican shortly after he was born.
The former Suits actress’ move matches that of Kate Middleton, 36, who was confirmed into the Church of England in a private service at St. James’s Palace in the weeks leading up to her 2011 marriage to Prince William.

  Why Buhari Has Not Visited Benue, Zamfara, Yobe – Osinbajo
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 09:43 AM - No Replies

[Image: Wed-9-1.jpg]

Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has explained why President Muhammadu Buhari has not visited states that have witnessed killings in recent months.

Osinbajo said he represented the president in some of the states, stating that condolence visits cannot compensate for loss of lives.

The VP who also mentioned the abduction of 110 Dapchi girls in Yobe, said that what is paramount is to ensure security in all states of the nation.

In a chat with newsmen in Lagos on Sunday, Osinbajo said: “Let me say it first that no amount of condolence can compensate for the loss of life, whether in Calabar, Mambilla or Benue or where people were killed in Adamawa or Zamfara, any of these states.

”Benue killing is one set of killing far too much; there is no amount of condolence that can compensate for that. And I want to say that it’s a massive tragedy.

”I’ve been to Zamfara, I’ve been to Adamawa when this killing took place. I even visited Benue in September where there have been killing before; then I’ve visited them when the flooding took place and we looked at all the issues and tried to address many of these.

”There have been several of these issues in different places, recently Dapchi. We have expressed condolences, but no amount of condolence would do.”

Osinbajo also spoke on what the government in doing to address security challenges nationwide

”We have to address the security question in a much more robust way; that the police are able to do these effectively.

”We have deployed the military to Kaduna, two battalions to Kaduna. In Benue and Taraba axis, we have the 93 battalion, we have 72 Special Forces.

”We have full concentration in Taraba and all of that, and by the way, the military is fighting in most of the North East. So there is a situation where the military is overstretched.

”So I think the most important thing is first of all to ensure they actually address the security of the people.”

  Ronaldo Missing In 2018 Top 100 Dribblers In The World [view Full List]
User Avatar Forum: Sports World
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 09:39 AM - No Replies

[Image: 2fce4dd85a9451eaa78ed77d7298a059.png]

There's fewer better sights in football than watching a player beat their man with a combination of speed and trickery.

When thinking back to some of the greatest dribblers in recent times, some names that come to mind would inevitably be Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi: both of which having shown they can do pretty much anything with the ball at their feet.

But, who, according to statistics, is really the best dribbler in world football?

CIES answered that question back in April 2017 when they analysed the best dribblers across Europe's top five leagues, with Adama Traore surprisingly topping the list.
Just behind Traore was Eden Hazard, whereas big names such as Neymar, Messi and Alexis Sanchez all made the top ten.

Almost a year on from compiling that list, CIES have now published another report detailing who has been the best dribbler in the top five European leagues so far this season.

11 months later CIES have once again used OptaPro data to analyse the dribbling skills of some of the world's best.

Once again some surprise names feature in the top 100 list, with the likes of Tanguy Ndombele, Arthur Masuaku and Naby Keita featuring among the usual suspects.

PREMIER LEAGUE STAR TOPS THE LIST......... AGAIN! 

Using OptaPro data, CIES multiplied the average number of dribbles players achieved per 90 minutes with the percentage of successful ones, before coming up with an index score.
And when doing so there was only one winner: Eden Hazard.

After coming second the year prior, Hazard went one better this year. He completes on average 6.4 dribbles per 90 minutes, with 75% of his dribbles ending in success: giving him a dribbling index of 100.

Coming narrowly in second is Neymar, who finished with an index of 94, whereas rounding out the top three is none other than Lionel Messi, who is ranked the 3rd best dribbler in the top five leagues with a dribbling index of 70.

Four more Premier League names make up the top ten, with Tottenham's Mousa Dembele in fifth, West Ham's Arthur Masuaku in seventh, and Southampton duo Sofiane Boufal and Mario Lemina in eighth and ninth respectively.

Elsewhere, Paul Pogba ranks 12th, Andres Iniesta is ranked joint 29th, Alexis Sanchez, is ranked 37th and Mohamed Salah is placed 43rd.

Unfortunately, somewhat as usual as it was same fate last year, there is no place on the list for Cristiano Ronaldo, who also did not make the top 100 in last year's study from CIES.

Eden Hazard has certainly rediscovered his form this season, despite Chelsea underperforming in recent months following their Premier League title winning campaign.

It got us thinking. EA Sports' ratings continue to be questioned by gamers, with Cristiano Ronaldo being only the fifth best dribbler in FIFA 18 - but he doesn't even make it on the above list?

The Real Madrid forward has a 90 dribbling on his current card. Should he even have such a high rating?

  Bakare: I Cant Comprehend What Buhari Was Doing At The Wedding With 110 Girls Missing
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 09:32 AM - No Replies

Tunde Bakare, the serving overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly (LRA), says he cannot comprehend what President Muhammadu Buhari and 22 state governors were doing at the Kano wedding, while 110 Dapchi schoolgirls are still in captivity.

On Saturday, at least 22 governors convereged on Kano, to celebrate the wedding of Idris Ajimobi and Fatima Ganduje, offsprings of Abiola Ajimobi, and Ibrahim Ganduje, governors of Oyo and Kano states, respectively.

Also in attendance was the president, and high-ranking members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), including Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos state.

Bakare says the wedding, which came two days after Boko Haram killed some UN aid workers in Rann, and two weeks after the abduction of the Dapchi school girls in Yobe, shows the insensitivity of Nigerian leaders.

“Forgive my ill-mannerism, but I could not comprehend why a governor will celebrate the wedding of his daughter, and another governor of his son, on the front pages of newspapers, flashing it before our eyes, when other peoples’ daughters are in captivity,” Bakare said.

“If any of them had lost a daughter in that captivity, would they celebrate that way? I know the Bible says rejoice with them that rejoice, but I do not know what the president of Nigeria was doing there.

“And somebody came to say, let me explain to you, it is Islamic tradition, before this time, about January, they had agreed, that he (Buhari) will be the one to give the bride away and (Bola) Tinubu will be the one to pay the dowry, and present the son, and they agreed long before now.

“I looked at him and said the president of Nigeria wanted to come to my daughter’s wedding, and I said to him, sir, don’t come. That is beneath your office. Face the work of the state and keep serving.

“And 22 governors showed up to mark register, when 110 daughters of citizens of your nation were captured by Boko Haram that you said you have already technically defeated?

“It just shows how insensitive our leaders are. We have gotten to a stage that our president has become a king and a monarch. That his son who rode his pleasurable bike that almost claimed his life, will be returning from an overseas trip, where he had received special healthcare that Nigerians cannot afford, that it took a whole minister of state to go and welcome him, because he has no job.”

Speaking at the Latter Rain Assembly on Sunday, Bakare said anyone who knows the true state of things in Nigeria will weep for the country.

“If you truly know the truth, you will weep, if you know how much we are owing as a nation, you will weep. For 16 years of PDP they borrowed N6 trillion, for three years of APC, they borrowed N11 trillion.

“And they are not going to pay the debt. You and I, and our children, and our children’s children will pay the debt, unless they write them off again.”

Senate President Bukola Saraki boarded a commercial flight belonging to Arik Air on his way to Ghana on Sunday.

This drew some reactions on social media, with some praising the “modesty” displayed by Nigeria’s number three citizen.

Dignitaries on such assignments usually fly presidential or private jets.

The senate president is expected to address lawmakers of the neighbouring country on the commemoration of their parliament’s celebration of 25 years of uninterrupted democracy.

Saraki, who was accompanied by some of his colleagues, will speak on “The Future of Good Governance in Africa”.

Nigerian carrier, Arik Air and Presidential Air Fleet (PAF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on capacity building to assist in imparting proficiency and line training for PAF’s pilots.
Arik Air in a statement signed by its Media Consultant, Simon Tumba, on Sunday in Lagos said the agreement was signed by the Commander of PAF, Hassan Abubakar and the airline in Lagos.
According to the terms of the agreement, Arik Air will provide pilots of PAF rated on the aircraft Line Training and hour building to maintain proficiency on the aircraft.
It also includes undertaking regular commercial flight under supervision, as per the standards approved for the airline.
Arik Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Roy Ilegbodu, said the agreement would go a long way in bridging the gap in the fleet Pilots’ training and proficiency.
He added that both parties could always work together to achieve their goals.
Ilegbodu said Arik Air, which had in the past assisted PAF in the proficiency training of its pilots, was a safety conscious airline and this must have informed the decision by the top hierarchy of the fleet to enter into this agreement.
The statement said Mr. Abubakar appreciated the support and cooperation PAF had been receiving from Arik Air over the years, stating that this had helped in getting the pilots to maintain a high level of training.

  Osinbajo defends Buhari, says nepotism allegations unfounded
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 09:09 AM - No Replies

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has absolved President Muhammadu Buhari of allegations of nepotism being levelled against him.
He said ministers from the southern part of the country were in charge of more strategic ministries, adding that the Federal Executive Council had more Christian members despite that Buhari is a Muslim.

Osinbajo was said to have stated these while granting interview to some journalists and social media practitioners in Lagos on Friday.
The Vice-President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, made the transcript of the interview available to journalists on Sunday.
Osinbajo said, “Look at the cabinet, for example, from the point of view of religion, it has an equal number – 18 Christians, 18 Muslims; but, we have the Secretary to the Government of the Federation as well as the Head of Service who are Christians.
“So, we have 20 Christians to 18 Muslims; that’s the structure of the cabinet.
“So, if you take that narrative you may argue that perhaps the Christians have the upper hand; that’s a possible narrative.
“Let us look a little deeper into that, so there are those who may argue, for example, that the North has an upper hand or perhaps one section has an upper hand in the cabinet as one narrative.
“The South-East, for example, has five states. Four of the south-eastern states have senior ministers; all of them, except one, who is Minister of State for Education.”
When reminded that the President had no choice since the appointment of ministers was a constitutional requirement, Osinbajo said Buhari had a choice in assigning particular portfolios.

“In the North, seven northern states have no senior minister, including the President’s home state, Katsina. Now, there are those who will say, if you are nepotistic; surely seven northern states have no senior minister. It’s a narrative depending on how you want to run it.
“I give you another example; I’m from the South-West. There are people who will say ‘I am from the South-West, the North has everything.’ The South-West, for the first time in the history of this country, has one minister who is in charge of three ministries: Power, Works and Housing. The ministers of Finance and Communications are also from the South-West.
“These are critical ministries. You can run the narrative in whichever way that you choose. There are those who will say, for instance, look at the number of CEOs of agencies of government; the highest number of CEOs in our nation today comes from Ogun State, the state has the largest number. There are those who will say that’s my state. So you can run the narrative depending on how you want to run it,” he added.
Osinbajo reminded Nigerians that the President had promised to take a second look at areas of allegations of nepotism he found to be true.
He cited the example of appointments into security agencies as one of those Buhari had promised to look into.
“I believe that is the way to go because you can run any narrative that will suit the figures you are showing. And that is where we have legal process.
“There are people who don’t know that the number of CEOs from Anambra State is more than the number of CEOs from Katsina State or anywhere else, except Ogun,” he said.
Osinbajo also said the present administration was prosecuting its anti-corruption war by focusing on what he called “grand corruption.”

  20 killed, 300 cows stolen in fresh Taraba violence
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 03-05-2018, 09:06 AM - No Replies

About 20 persons have been reported killed and 300 cows stolen, following a fresh outbreak of ethnic violence on the Mambilla Plateau in Sardauna Local Government Area of Taraba State, yesterday. A fleeing resident, Saadu Mogoggo, who said his house was attacked at Leme suburb of Gembu, said two of his brothers were killed on Saturday evening and their cattle rustled by a group he identified as the Mambilla Militia. His words: “As I speak with you, we are yet to bury their corpses. The ethnic militias attacked our residence in Leme, where they killed our father last month. During this attack, the Mambillas took away over 100 cows. “My two younger brothers reported the matter to a nearby military base and a soldier was attached as escort to retrieve the stolen cows. Unfortunately, in the process, my younger brothers were both killed while the soldier fled with injury.” Abdu Gagarau, another resident of the area, who said he was speaking from hiding, said: “The burning and killing by herdsmen continued till early this morning (yesterday). “Since last Thursday they have been attacking our settlements and over 20 people killed. Some were buried and over 300 cattle stolen by the militias. “The Mambila ethnic group is known for attacking other tribes. They attacked the Panso in 1982, the Fulani in 2002 and in 2017. When eventually we retaliate, the normal shouts of herdsmen will start. Let government be proactive and come to our rescue.” Fulani cry to govt A Fulani community leader in the area, Mr. Ahmadu Nguroje, called for government and security intervention. Mr. Nguroje said: “At least 20 people are feared killed, looting of houses, shops and burning down to ashes by the Mambilla militias along Tapare and Yerimaru axis have been recorded here in Sardauna Local Government Area of Taraba State. “About 12 others were also injured and are on admission at a hospital in Gembu.” The lawmaker representing Nguroje and Gembu constituency in the state House of Assembly, Bashir Muhammad, confirmed the latest disturbances. He said: “There have been violent and systematic killings of Fulani nomadic herdsmen in the remote areas in Mambilla Plateau. “It is unfortunate that while efforts are being made to restore peace, the killings continued unabated with many people feared killed between Thursday and Sunday (yesterday), just as dozens of livestock were killed or injured. I was even told that over 200 cows were rustled. “Security is grossly in adequate because some of the affected villages are in hinterlands that can take one or two hours to access. We want more security personnel, particularly soldiers, to ensure peace.” Governor speaks Reacting, Governor Darius Ishaku, who spoke through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Emmanuel Bello, called for an end to the violence. His words: “Anyone who takes any life, irrespective of religion or tribe, is a criminal; whether it is on the summits of Mambilla or the plains of Southern Taraba and anywhere in this state. And we shall deal with them as criminals. “We are committed to an amicable resolution of the crisis in the state and peaceful co-existence of all ethnic nationalities,” attributing the renewed crisis to “disagreement between two ethnic groups.” Police story The Police spokesperson in the state, David Misal, told newsmen that four people were confirmed killed from both sides of the ethnic groups, adding that security officials had been dispatched to the area to restore peace, but that no arrest had been made. Investigations revealed that the crisis started on Thursday over a land dispute between nomadic Fulani and Mambilla in Yerimaru village, which spread into neighbouring villages.

  NNPC’s fuel subsidy payment hits N774m daily

  • Baru decries proliferation of fuel stations in border towns
 
The subsidy being paid by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to keep the pump price of petrol at N145 per litre has hit N774 million per day. The rise is due to abnormal consumption of petrol from less than 35 million litres per day to about 80 million litres per day. NNPC, at the weekend, declared that this N774 million petrol consumption under-recovery is denying Nigerians the “benefit of the Federal Government’s benevolence of keeping a fixed retail price of N145 per litre despite the increase in PMS open market price above N171 per litre.”
The state-owned oil firm also sounded the alarm bells on the proliferation of fuel stations in communities with international land and coastal borders across the country. Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, stated that the development has energized unprecedented cross-border smuggling of petrol to neighbouring countries, making it difficult to sanitize the fuel supply and distribution matrix in the country.

Leading a top management team of the corporation on a visit to the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), Baru claimed that detailed study conducted by NNPC indicated strong correlation between the presence of the frontier stations and the activities of fuel smuggling syndicates.
He alleged that the activities of the smugglers had led to recent observed abnormal surge in the evacuation of petrol from less than 35 million litres per day to more than 60 million litres per day, which is in sharp contrast with established national consumption pattern. Daily evacuation of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise called petrol, varies in recent past months, ranging from 35 million litres per day to 60 million litres per day and even to as high as 80 million litres per day as at December last year. It is now settling at an average of 50 million litres per day, Ndu Ughamadu, Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, said when New Telegraph called him for clarification on the exact consumption figure.
According to NNPC, “Providing a detailed presentation of the findings, the NNPC GMD informed that 16 states, having amongst them 61 local government areas (LGAs) with border communities, account for 2,201 registered fuel stations. “The fuel tank had a combined capacity of 144,998,700 litres of petrol.
“Eight states, with coastal border communities spread across 24 LGAs amongst the states, account for 866 registered fuel outlets with combined petrol tank capacity of 73, 443, 086 litres. “A further breakdown of the finding shows that among the states with land border, three LGAs in Ogun State account for 633 fuel stations with combined petrol tankage of 40,485,000 litres while nine LGAs in Borno State have 337 fuel outlets with combined petrol storage capacity of 21,114, 480 litres. Lagos, with one LG as border community, has 235 registered fuel stations with total petrol storage facility of 19,916, 600 litres.”

On the coastal front, Lagos with six LGAs, the NNPC’s figure read, “leads with 487 registered fuel stations with combined in-built storage capacity of 50,239,560 litres. Akwa Ibom, with five LGAs, has 134 registered retail outlets with capacity to store 8,322,986 litres, while Ondo State, with two LGAs, has 110 fuel stations with capacity to store 3,871,320 litres.”
Baru explained that because of the obvious differential in petrol price between Nigeria and other neighbouring countries, it had become lucrative for the smugglers to use the frontier stations as a veritable conduit for the smuggling of products across the border. He said this had resulted in a thriving market for Nigerian petrol in all the neighbouring countries of Niger Republic, Benin Republic, Cameroon, Chad and Togo and even Ghana which has no direct borders with Nigeria.
“NNPC is concerned that continued cross-border smuggling of petrol will deny Nigerians the benefit of the Federal Government’s benevolence of keeping a fixed retail price of N145 per litre despite the increase in PMS open market price above N145. On his part, Ali said the Service would work with the corporation to stem the tide of cross-border smuggling of petroleum products, noting that all hands must be on deck to ensure the economic survival of the country.

  Petrol demand hits 50 million litres daily, NNPC incurs N24bn monthly as subsidy

Okechukwu Nnodim and ’Femi Asu
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on Sunday announced that it was spending N774m daily (about N23.99bn monthly) as subsidy on the 50 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit consumed across the country.
Although it described the amount as under-recovery, the oil firm stated that the amount was due to the proliferation of filling stations in communities with international land and coastal borders across the country.

The Group Managing Director, NNPC, Maikanti Baru, said the multiplication of filling stations had energised unprecedented cross-border smuggling of petrol to neighbouring countries, making it difficult to sanitise the fuel supply and distribution matrix in Nigeria.
Baru disclosed this when he led a management team of the corporation on a visit to the Comptroller-General, Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali (retd.), according to a statement issued on Sunday by the firm’s Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Ndu Ughamadu.
Baru stated that a detailed study conducted by the NNPC indicated strong correlation between the presence of the frontier stations and the activities of fuel smuggling syndicates.
He said the activities of the smugglers led to the recent abnormal surge in the evacuation of petrol from less than 35 million litres per day to more than 60 million litres per day, which was in sharp contrast with established national consumption pattern.
Providing a detailed presentation of the findings, the NNPC boss noted that 16 states, having among them 61 local government areas with border communities, accounted for 2,201 registered fuel stations.
He stated that the tanks of the facilities had a combined capacity of 144,998,700 litres of petrol.
Baru stated that in the same vein, eight states with coastal border communities spread across 24 LGAs accounted for 866 registered fuel outlets with combined petrol tank capacity of 73,443,086 litres.http://punchng.com/petrol-demand-hits-50-million-litres-daily-nnpc-incurs-n24bn-monthly-as-subsidy/
He said a further breakdown of the findings showed that among the states with land border, three LGAs in Ogun State accounted for 633 fuel stations with combined petrol tankage of 40,485,000 litres, while nine LGAs in Borno State had 337 fuel outlets with combined petrol storage capacity of 21,114,480 litres.

According to him, Lagos with one LGA as border community has 235 registered fuel stations with total storage facility of 19,916,600 litres.
The statement noted that on the coastal front, Lagos with six LGAs led with 487 registered fuel stations with combined in-built storage capacity of 50,239,560 litres.
It said, “Akwa Ibom, with five LGAs, has 134 registered retail outlets with capacity to store 8,322,986 litres; while Ondo State, with two LGAs, has 110 fuel stations with capacity to store 3,871,320 litres.”
Baru explained that because of the obvious differential in petrol price between Nigeria and other neighbouring countries, it had become lucrative for the smugglers to use the frontier stations as a veritable conduit for the smuggling of products across the border, adding that this had resulted in a thriving market for Nigerian petrol in Niger Republic, Benin Republic, Cameroon, Chad and Togo, as well as Ghana, which has no direct borders with Nigeria.
He was quoted as saying, “The NNPC is concerned that continued cross-border smuggling of petrol will deny Nigerians the benefit of the Federal Government’s benevolence of keeping a fix retail price of N145 per litre despite the increase in PMS open market price above N171 per litre.”
He noted that based on the heightened petrol consumption rate of 50 million litre per day, the corporation was incurring an under-recovery of N774m every day.
Welcoming the NNPC boss and his team to the Customs headquarters, Ali said the NCS would work with the corporation to stem the tide of cross-border smuggling of petroleum products, noting that all hands must be on deck to ensure the economic survival of the country.
He thanked Baru for the elaborate data provided by the NNPC on the fuel supply situation, adding that this would enable the service to fashion out the appropriate architecture to combat the menace.
Ali called on the authorities to tackle the issue of price differentials, which he noted were the underlying motivation for smuggling activities.
Reacting to the statement by the NNPC, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria noted that subsidising petrol by N774m on a daily basis was not sustainable.
PENGASSAN stated that the NNPC was also aware of this, which was why the oil firm had been pushing for the revamp of the country’s refineries.
The PENGASSAN spokesperson, Fortune Obi, told one of our correspondents that international oil companies were also providing assistance for the revamp of the refineries in order to cut down on the importation of petrol.
“The NNPC leadership also knows that it (N774m daily under-recovery) is not sustainable and that is why they are strongly pushing for the refineries’ turnaround maintenance to put them back into full functionality. I’m aware some IOCs are providing support for the rehabilitation,” he added.
The Nigeria Labour Congress faulted the position of the NNPC on the payment of subsidy on petrol, stressing that the corporation’s under-recovery claim was not transparent.
The Secretary-General, NLC, Peter Ozo-Eson, said the importation of fuel should be opened up to competitors and must not be handled by just the NNPC.
He stated, “Our position from the beginning has been very clear. If we continue this petrol import regime, we will continue to face this type of situation, given that we do not have control over global crude oil prices and the volatility of the exchange rate. These two issues will continue to create situations like this.
“Now, if the NNPC claims to be spending such amount, there is no way for us to determine the actual value that was spent since the National Assembly does not have the power to appropriate subsidy claims. The NNPC cannot come out to tell us that it spent the money that is meant to accrue to the Federation Account on subsidy.
“This is a crisis that is on the ground and we will continue to insist that we must get a transparent regime of subsidy payment that is opened up and not an opaque process where the NNPC alone does what it is doing now. That has been our position and that is the right thing to do.”

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

MONDAY, 5TH MARCH.

Pastor Chris

TOPIC ✨ DON'T LIVE WITHOUT GOD✨

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world (Ephesians 2:11-12).

Our opening scripture describes the state of the unregenerate man. It’s the most terrible thing for a man to live without God! How deplorable! Who wants to keep living like that?

Ephesians 4:17-18 says, “This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.” Those referred to here are the heathen; those who don’t know God. They may be religious but their spirit is in darkness; their understanding is darkened, because the light of God isn’t in their spirit. What hopelessness to be alienated from the life of God!

This is why we must be passionate about preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, letting men know what Jesus came to do. He came to give us life (John 10:10). In John 3:3, He said, “...Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” If you’ve not been born again, make the decision today to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Don’t live one more day without God.

The Bible says in Romans 10:9, “...if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” That’s how simple and quick it is to be born again. Once you make that proclamation of the Lordship of Jesus, instantly, eternal life is imparted to your spirit. You’re at once brought into oneness with God; you’re straightaway transferred from this present world of darkness and turmoil, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your life in me. I’m so grateful for your grace and wisdom at work in me. Now, more than ever, I’m passionate about preaching the Gospel and bringing men and women out of darkness into your marvelous light, into a living relationship with the resurrected Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Matthew 16:24-26 "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

John 15:5-6 "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."

Mark 16:15-16 "And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band."

  NNPC: Nigeria now world’s largest petrol importer
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 10:21 PM - No Replies

[Image: 2017_12$largeimg12_Dec_2017_192033614.jpg]

Nigeria is the only member country in the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) that imports petrol and is currently the largest importer of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in the world, Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, said in Abuja yesterday.

Baru, who spoke through NNPC’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Upstream, Alhaji Bello Rabiu, at the 2018 Oloibiri Lecture Series (OLEF) while responding to questions from delegates, said the country had reached such import level because the refineries had not worked to their maximum capacity.



The OLEF, organised annually by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), Nigeria Council, in commemoration of the first oil well drilled in Nigeria at Oloibiri in Bayelsa State in 1956, brings together key industry players to chart the right path for the oil sector.

“As we speak today, Nigeria is the only OPEC country that imports petrol and we are the largest importer of PMS in the world,” Baru said.

“We actually import one million tonnes of PMS every month into a country that produces oil and gas and has refinery. It is a shameful thing, it doesn’t make sense and that is what we are trying to address,” he added.

He said the refineries have not been operating at maximum capacity, but that the NNPC was working to address these challenges with the imminent announcement of investors who would bring in funding for the repair of the plants.

“Upgrades of our refineries from the current name plate capacity of 445,000 barrels of crude oil per day (bpd) to at least 1million bpd is the focus. Discussions with relevant investors and financiers are ongoing. The expectation is that the refineries will be fully back on stream by December 2019,” he said.

The Chairman of SPE Nigeria Council, Mr. Chikezie Nwosu said the SPE-OLEF now in its 18th year, had become a forum that brought together key industry players to discuss on topical issues in the energy industry with a view to influencing the right policy direction to enable the growth of the industry and the economy.

Earlier, in an oil industry address, the GMD announced that Nigeria had seen the most aggressive drop in gas flaring from a peak of 2.5 billion standard cubic feet per day few years ago to about 700 million standard cubic feet per day.

  Did Audu Ogbeh Lie About The Collapse Of Thailand's Rice Mills?
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 10:11 PM - No Replies

FACT CHECK: Did Audu Ogbeh Lie About the Collapse of Thailand's Rice Mills?

On Friday, Audu Ogbeh, minister of agriculture, claimed that Thailand has accused President Muhammadu Buhari’s government of being responsible for the collapse of seven of its rice mills.

The minister quoted the Thailand’s ambassador to Nigeria as saying that the federal government has “dealt” with his country.

Ogbeh said this was because Nigeria’s importation of rice has fallen by 95 percent.

Consequently, he said, unemployment rate has risen by four percent in Thailand.

“Just like two weeks ago, the ambassador of Thailand came to my office and said to me that we have really dealt with them,” he said.

“But I asked what did we do wrong and he said unemployment in Thailand was one of the lowest in the world, 1.2 percent, it has gone up to four percent because seven giant rice mills have shut down because Nigeria’s import has fallen by 95 percent on rice alone.”

TheCable fact-checked the claims made by the agriculture minister.

CLAIM ONE: COLLAPSE OF SEVEN RICE MILLS IN THAILAND

TheCable carried out an extensive research and the minister’s claim that seven rice mills collapsed in Thailand owing to Nigeria’s low patronage could not be verified.

Instead, Thailand’s export has continued to grow. According to The Nation Thailand, overall exports in January this year alone rose to 17.6 percent with an income of $20.101 billion.

Significantly, rice exports grew to 37.2 percent year-on-year — an indication that rice mills are not collapsing in Thailand. Instead, rice producers in the country may be needing more mills!

Also, the Rice Exporters Association of Thailand said rice exports reached a record high in 2017.

Charoen Laothammatas, president of the association, said they would be able to export around 9.5 million tons of rice in 2018.

The quantity of rice imported from Thailand into Nigeria is not significant enough to lead to the collapse of any mill in the country.

Information on the association’s website puts Nigeria’s import in 2017 at 23,192 metric tonnes. What Nigeria imported in 2015 and 2016 were 644,131 and 58, 260 metric tonnes respectively.

These figures are less compared to what Benin Republic has imported. The country imported 1,811,164; 1,427,098 and 805,765 metric tonnes of rice in 2017, 2016 and 2015 respectively.

It is even suspected that most Benin imports end up in the Nigerian market through the land border.

CLAIM TWO: UNEMPLOYMENT IN THAILAND HAS RISEN TO FOUR PERCENT

Checks by TheCable found this claim to be false.

Trading Economics puts Thailand’s unemployment rate at 1.3 percent as at January 2018.

“The unemployment rate in Thailand inched up to 1.3 percent in January of 2018 from 1.2 percent in the same month a year earlier,” information on the website read.

“The number of unemployed went up by 26 thousand from the prior year to 475 thousand while the number of employed declined by 142 thousand to 37.07 million.

“In December 2017, the jobless rate was 1 percent. Unemployment Rate in Thailand averaged 1.45 percent from 2001 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 5.73 percent in January of 2001 and a record low of 0.39 percent in November of 2012.”

CONCLUSION

The claim that seven mills collapsed in Thailand because of Nigeria’s low patronage cannot be verified. The claim that Thailand’s unemployment is at four percent is false.
Maybe the ambassador, as quoted by Ogbeh, was only speaking tongue-in-cheek to show how insignificant Nigerian market is to Thailand — but Ogbeh, eager to celebrate his achievement in office, took a private joke to the public without crosschecking.

  OBJ'S Men Pull Out Of PDP
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 10:04 PM - No Replies

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has run into a fresh round of trouble.
The acrimony that trailed the national convention of the party last December has resurfaced after some Board of Trustees (BoT) members of the party defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and pledged to work with the coalition movement recently formed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
They also declared that the PDP, as the leading opposition platform, had reached its end ahead of 2019 general elections.
While the situation has created some disquiet within the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the PDP which was most hit by the defection, some of the members have disagreed over the impact the former president’s coalition would have on the polity ahead of 2019.
LEADERSHIP Sunday recalls that a Memorandum of Understanding was on Thursday signed by the defecting PDP members, other political parties and other groups to dissolve into the SDP at Sheraton Hotel, Abuja.
Some of those mentioned include former minister of education, Prof Tunde Adeniran and former minister of information, Prof Jerry Gana, who served in former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s government and who are also members of PDP’s BoT.
It will be recalled that Adeniran had contested the national chairmanship of PDP last December, which was won by Prince Uche Secondus, who enjoyed the support of the governors spearheaded by the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike.
Following allegations of malpractice that trailed the convention, a reconciliation team led by Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson, had met with Adeniran and other chairmanship aspirants who felt aggrieved by roles played by the governors, especially Wike.
The fall-out of the convention also created a division within the party’s BoT, which comprises elders and former national elective officeholders of the party.
BoT members were split along the lines of some of its members who contested the national chairmanship.
While the likes of Jerry Gana backed the aspiration of Prof Adeniran, other members either backed Secondus or former deputy national chairman of the party, Chief Olabode George.
The BoT chairman, Sen Walid Jibrin, had set up a reconciliation committee led by former Senate president, David Mark, to reconcile the aggrieved members of the advisory organ of the party following Secondus’ eventually emergence as national chairman.
But confirming their defection to SDP, Adeniran told LEADERSHIP Sunday that they decided to leave PDP because they needed a platform, among other things, that is not owned by one or few individuals.
He added that while he was satisfied with the reconciliation team led by the Bayelsa State governor, he was compelled to leave PDP because his supporters from the South-west were miffed by the way Wike insulted them on the eve of the national convention.
Adeniran said, “I am a member of the SDP and we have taken a decision to move to the SDP. What has happened is this: there are those of us who believe in genuine internal party democracy, who believe in social justice, equity fairness and honesty in politics and are irrevocably and uncompromisingly against impunity imposition and corruption.
“We formed what we called new political order. Most of us came in from the PDP, some came in from some other parties, groups, social activist and so on.
“Those of us in the PDP felt that the PDP has gone beyond what could be redeemed in terms of its commitment to what we thought should be things of the past. But we realised that we would not be able to get justice for the people and for the things that we should be running away from, and would not move this country forward. So, we thought we needed a different platform that will respect the dignity of man; that will be honest in all its dealings; a platform where the love of country, genuine patriotism and interest of the masses of the people is supreme; a party that will not be easily purchasable by one individual or group of individuals.
“So those of us who believe in the future generations and the youths and the rights of women to be respected and given their rightful place in society and in the politics of the land, we felt we needed a platform that will provide opportunity for this and we considered some new parties and some existing parties and among the various parties that we considered we also thought of those that are likely to encourage national spread, that will not promote ethnicity; a party that abhors internal crisis, a party that will have good programmes and principles, whose structure is good for the country.
“That was what recommended the Social Democratic Party. As we are moving in as part of it, everybody is equal; nobody is bigger than the other, and there is room for people and others coming behind because there are so many other groups coming from all over the place and different parties that are still coming in.”
He regretted that the reconciliation committee led by Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson, did not yield the expected result.
Adeniran said: “What sparked my decision to move was the fact that the reconciliation committee was headed by a very honourable, honest, nice and patriotic man.
“He is someone I respect a lot. I admire his style of leadership. He meant well, no question about that. But after all that was done, you know, politics is about people. We represent people and so forth. I am from the South West, I have gone back to my people and they felt so insulted by some people within the PDP, and they said they do not believe that they can relate and deal with people who have no regard or respect for them. They mentioned Wike in particular with the way he insulted the Yoruba in the TV programmes few days to the convention. So I share the sentiment of my people.”
On their decision to work with Obasanjo’s coalition he said, “We shall be working with groups that believe in the core values that we believe in. The coalition that Obasanjo is working with is a movement.
“President Obasanjo is an elder statesman; he will not be involved in partisan politics. But members of that movement – I am also part of that movement; many of us are part of it. We want changes that will liberate this country. And we are going to work closely with him and we will also work with other patriotic groups who mean well for this country.”
He however said their movement from the PDP signals the end of party ahead of the 2019 general elections.
“What this means is the end of the road. I wish the PDP well but then it will pose some challenges but then they will be the ones to say what it means for them. But as far as I am concerned, I feel they have a huge task ahead of them.”
But in his reaction, the chairman of PDP BoT, Sen Walid Jibrin, told LEADERSHIP Sunday that he had yet to receive any formal notice of BoT members’ defection.
He recalled that the BoT had set up a committee to reconcile its members following the crisis that arose from the national convention, adding that until the report is ready, they will not make comment on the defection.
Jibrin who lamented the move of the party’s chieftains to SDP, however, said there is no cause for alarm over the perceived threat Obasanjo’s movement poses to PDP.
He said, “I talk appropriately regarding Gana and Adeniran about the issue. In any contest there is bound to be a winner and a loser. And when a winner emerges, we should all rally round and support whoever he is and forget about the past. Today the serving national chairman of the party is Secondus. So we will do everything possible to ensure success for our party.
“Many people have defected to PDP; many people are coming into PDP. The number of people coming into PDP is double the number of those leaving PDP. There is no cause for alarm.
“Even if I am the only person remaining, I will never leave PDP. I will continue to remain in PDP. I am very consistent in my belief that PDP will never die,” he said.
Reacting to the possible impact of Obasanjo’s coalition, he said, “The issue of Obasanjo is not a new thing at all, particularly for anybody that knows him very well.
“He has condemned Buhari and APC. He has also condemned the PDP. So why is he worried? Despite his position, the strongest parties today are still PDP and the APC. And so he had condemned all of us. I can’t see the coalition succeeding at all because the majority of the people are in PDP and APC. And these are the parties he is condemning. His is a total blanket condemnation of parties, which we will not take. So I only pity people who are moving into his type of game. This is a plot set up by some people in order to achieve their own selfishness and not with the people of Nigeria.
“We have a lot of problems in Nigeria but we have been able to put our heads together. We have come together to make Nigeria one. Anybody who is trying to break Nigeria, God will not give him the opportunity to do so.”
Another BoT member of the PDP, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, however, expressed displeasure over the move by his former BoT colleagues to the SDP.
Speaking with our correspondent, he said, “Frankly speaking, Prof Jerry Gana and Prof Tunde Adeniran are highly respected people in the party. They are both good friends of mine. They didn’t tell me. I didn’t know theywere going away. If they had told me I would have offered my own advice because two heads are better than one.
“In all the parties today you will notice that there is general disaffection within them. Even in the APC there are a lot of problems. I know a lot of people in APC that want to defect to PDP.”
“My philosophy of democracy is different. I believe that before you join a party you must know the philosophy and try at all times to protect it. This Idea of people jumping from one party to the other does not show democratic conduct. If democracy must be preserved, even if you have not got what you want in the party, you have to stay,” he said.
He also noted that the former president’s coalition was coming rather late ahead of 2019 general elections.
Oghiadomhe, Orubebe Distance Selves From SDP
Some members of the PDP who were listed among those who defected to the SDP have denied the report.
While former chief of staff to President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe said he remains a full-time member of PDP, former minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe, said reports that he had joined the SDP was false.
Oghiadomhe in a terse statement said: “My attention has been drawn to a publication in the social media by mischief-makers about my exit from PDP to SDP.
“For the record, l was never part of any group where a decision was made about dumping PDP for SDP. To my great party PDP and millions of our members, no one has my mandate to determine or associate my name to any political party without my written consent.
“Whoever must have affiliated my name to any political party other than PDP does not have my mandate and this should be disregarded as handiwork of mischief makers.
“My membership and loyalty is to PDP alone which is my party of choice since its formation.”
On his part, former minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday
Orubebe also denied the story that he had dumped the PDP for SDP.

Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 10:02 PM - No Replies

The Anambra State Government has banned the operations of commercial motorcycles popularly known as Okada, after 7pm across the State.

The government said it is part of efforts to curb resurging crime in the state, warning that flouting the order would attract severe sanctions.
Tony Nnachetta, commissioner for Information and Communications Strategy, in a press release made available to journalists in Awka on Sunday, stressed that in recent times, there have been a resurgence of armed robbery and other sundry crimes in the State.

It added that, “Security reports confirmed that these hoodlums operate with motorcycles. As part of the security measures towards checkmating the activities of these hoodlums, government hereby announces a ban on the use of commercial motorcycles popularly known as ‘Okada’ after 7pm across the State.

“Henceforth, Okada riders are only allowed to operate within the hours
of 6am to 7pm,” he added.

According to Nnacheta, the ban is an indication of government’s determination to maintain law and order, as well as protect life and
property of law-abiding citizens.

He warned criminals and evil-minded persons to desist from their evil acts or face the full weight of the law.

He enjoined the public to be security conscious and to offer information to security agencies at any given time.

Thirteen states, including the Federal Capital Territory, attracted the sum of $5.3bn (N1.9tn) investments in the last quarter of 2017


By Ifeanyi Onuba

Thirteen states, including the Federal Capital Territory, attracted the sum of $5.3bn (N1.9tn) investments in the last quarter of 2017
investigation by our correspondent revealed on Friday.
The investments made in 22 different sectors of the economy from October to December 2017, it was gathered, were the fallout of the new initiatives of government particularly in the area of ease of doing business.

Based on the government’s official statistics, the FCT attracted the highest investment inflow with the sum of $2.68bn.
This is about 49 per cent of the entire investment inflow into the country during the three-month period.
Lagos State followed closely with $2.54bn investment, representing 47.2 per cent of the total investments into the country.
Akwa Ibom recorded an investment inflow of $124.84m; Ogun, $8.79m; Oyo, $7.03m; Delta, $5.69m; and Anambra, $3.77m.
Similarly, Enugu attracted a total investment of $644,890; Kogi, $500,000; Kano, $483,970; Bauchi, $425,000; Rivers, $384,817; and Kaduna, $89,975.
The sectors where the $5.3bn was invested are agriculture, $62.65m; banking, $543.37m; brewing, $2.3m; construction, $92.7m; consultancy, $2.06m; drilling, $0.3m; and electrical, $5.1m.
Others are financing, $122.68m; fishing, $99.4m; information Technology, $8.45m; marketing, $0.48m; oil and gas, $23.83m; production, $317.8m; and servicing, $216.45m.
The rest are hotels, $0.3m; telecoms, $191.01m; tanning, $0.52m; trading, $12.96m; transport, $0.55m; and shares, $3.68bn.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, said the huge amount, which the Federal Government was spending on infrastructure projects across the country was attracting fresh investments into the country.
She said this when a delegation of about 20 investors visited him at the headquarters of the ministry to discuss investment opportunities in Nigeria.
Adeosun told the delegation led by a former Minister of Finance, Dr. Shamsudeen Usman, that in 2017 alone, the sum of N1.2tn was released by the ministry for implementation of capital projects.
She added that the ministry was ready to make such huge release this year once the 2018 budget currently before the National Assembly was signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.
She said part of the cardinal focus of the administration of President Buhari was to address the infrastructure deficit in the country.
This, she added, would be achieved through targeted spending at projects that would unlock the economic potential of the country.
She described the level of interest from foreign investors in the Nigerian economy as huge, adding that very soon, these interests would translate into massive investments that would create jobs and reduce the nation’s poverty level.
Adeosun said, “It’s a great time for investors to be in Nigeria. For us, it’s a better time now than last year because finally, we think that we are beginning to address through deliberate policies some of the most stubborn problems that have held back Nigeria’s growth.
“We’ve gone through very difficult adjustments but we are seeing that the macroeconomic fundamentals are much more positive and the outlook is that they will remain positive.
“The good news is that we have actually begun to take steps in terms of reducing our (oil) benchmark price by keeping it low, allowing us to rebuild some buffers.
“Our budget is predicated on lower oil price, and for me, we are focusing on revenue because we think that is the missing part of the Nigeria jig-saw.”
She said the economy had started seeing the impact of the expanded budget of the Federal Government with massive investment in power, road and rail.
“Our commitment in solving the infrastructure challenges in Nigeria is firm because we think that is what will unlock growth in agriculture and solid minerals and make us to move away from our over-reliance on oil,” the minister added.
Usman gave some of the sectors where these investors were interested in as power, manufacturing, agriculture, solid minerals, among others.

A Nigerian woman identified as Ruth, survived an accident which left her with fractured legs in Benue State University Teaching Hospital got married a day after surviving the accident.

According to online reports, Ruth, was walking along the road on Friday, a day to her wedding day, when she was hit by a truck driver and her legs were broken in the accident.

She was admitted to Benue State University Teaching Hospital but that did not stop her and her groom from getting married as scheduled on Saturday, March 3, 2018.

According to an eyewitness, Ruth's wedding to Timothy Kwaor was held in the hospital. She was dressed in her wedding gown and brought in in a wheel chair. Other patients in the hospital served as the wedding guests.

He wrote;
"Love in the strangest of times and places.

Today is their wedding day. Yesterday a truck driver hit the bride and broke her legs. Diagnosis suggests multiple fracture. It didn't break their spirits neither did it reduce the love. 
Today, I was at the waiting area of the GOPD where the management of the BSU Teaching Hospital permitted us to hold the wedding ceremony. She was wheeled down in her gown to the venue and it was glorious. Folks who ordinarily came to seek treatment became wedding guests in pleasant astonishment. Her fellow patients had fun, ate food and shared her wedding cake with her. 
Happy married life Ruth and Timothy Kwaor. It's amazing how you embarrassed the devil today. Live long and may your marriage blossom."

  Medical Doctor Accused Of Raping And Impregnating Patient's 16-year-old Daughter
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 06:02 PM - No Replies

A medical doctor at the Federal Medical Center, Bida, Niger State, Dr. Seyi, has been accused of raping a sixten year old girl named Fatima Yusuf and impregnating her while she was attending to her mother who was on admission at the hospital for severe diabetes. Fatima died last Monday during childbirth.



The Nation reports that Fatima had informed her family of the said doctor's repeated sexual assault. A family source said the rape started when the doctor called Fatima to his office pretending to want to advise her on her mother's medical condition. He forcefully had sex with her in his office and continued until Fatima’s mother was discharged from the hospital.



The family source, who pleaded not to be named because she was not qualified to speak for the family, said that when other family members discovered that Fatima was pregnant, they asked her who the father of the baby was and she fingered the said doctor, who vehemently denied having any sexual relationship with her.

The case, however, became so serious that the Emir of Bida, Alhaji Abubakar Yahaya, had to intervene in it. The accused doctor, in the course of interrogation at the Emir’s palace, was said to have admitted that he only hugged Fatima and rubbed his body against hers, but did not have any sexual intercourse with her. Fatima however maintained that the doctor forcibly slept with her, and the act resulted in her pregnancy.

The situation was said to have caused the Emir to order that a paternity test be conducted on the pregnancy. But while the Federal Medical Centre complied with the directive, it has been reluctant to release the result of the test, a situation that led to the decision to conduct another paternity test in a hospital outside the state. Unfortunately, while this was going on, Fatima died on Monday some time after she was delivered of a baby boy at the family house in Bida.

Alarmed by the development, the Niger State Child Rights Agency was said to have taken over the case. The Director General of the agency, Barrister Mariam Kolo, who confirmed to our correspondent that the agency had taken up the case, said the agency’s attention was drawn to it because the victim was underage and because it was suspected that the management of the hospital was trying to cover up for the accused doctor.

Kolo said that while Fatima might have died, the agency would go ahead with the case and see to its logical conclusion. If Dr. Seyi is found guilty, she said, he will not escape the wrath of the law.

Even in the worst case scenario, a naive and underage girl like that cannot just accuse someone who is higher than her wrongly. If the man did not have carnal knowledge of her, she would not accuse him falsely. Why did she not accuse another doctor in the hospital? She even knew his office and how it looked like. Why did she stick to her story till she died in spite of pressures from all quarters? The family is not asking for money. They are only asking the doctor to own up and take responsibility for what he did. We are waiting for the DNA result. When it comes out, we will know who the father is. Government cannot take responsibility of the child when the father is alive.”

Kolo said the Federal Medical Centre, Bida, was trying to cover up the case, adding that the doctor was hiding under the guise that the result of the DNA test was not yet out and that he would not say anything until the test’s result was released.

''Although no autopsy was done, it was clear that she died out of intense depression. Look at this: her mother is ill, a man raped and impregnated her and denied it, and they do not have money to feed. He put her under intense depression. It is one of the factors that led to her death. He contributed to her psychological state of mind. This is a very sensitive matter. If medical doctors are now harassing children, it leaves one to wonder if our children are safe. ”

When contacted, the hospital’s Head of Communication, Musa Ladan acknowledged that a case of alleged sexual harassment was filed against one of its doctors, adding that the hospital was not covering up anybody. Ladan said nothing has been done to the accused doctor because it cannot rely on mere allegations.

There is a case we are handling. It is not a case of cover-up by the hospital as it is being alleged in some quarters. The case is about a patient’s relation who accused one of our doctors of having carnal knowledge of her. It was brought to our attention and we have set up a high powered committee to investigate it. We have even gone ahead to do a DNA test and we are currently awaiting the result, although while we were waiting, the lady in question died in her family house. 

We have to establish the accusation. Everything is at accusation level now. We have not done anything to the doctor because we are waiting for the result of the DNA test. After the result, we will know the step to take.” he said

Investigations into the matter is still ongoing.

  Saudi Arabia To Auction Maan Al-Sanea's Properties Including His 923 Vehicles
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 05:58 PM - No Replies

[Image: styku2.jpg]

Saudi Arabia authorities are preparing to auction billions of dollars of real estate and cars belonging to billionaire Maan al-Sanea and his company as they look to hasten an end to one of the kingdom’s longest-running debt disputes.

The billionaire was arrested by Saudi authorities late last year for unpaid debt dating back to 2009 from his company, Saad Group, defaulting on debts. According to some, al-Senea’s debt could be between 40 and 60 billion Saudi riyals, or $10.6 and $15.9 billion at today’s exchange rates.

The planned sale is the latest signal that Saudi Arabia is serious about holding its elites to account. In an anti-corruption crackdown last November, authorities detained scores of senior officials on charges of alleged graft. Most have been released after being exonerated or agreeing to give the state money, assets or real estate.

The al-Sanea case is separate from the main anti-graft campaign. The businessman, ranked by Forbes as one of the world’s 100 richest people in 2007 was detained by authorities late last year for unpaid debt dating back to 2009 when his company, Saad Group, defaulted on debts.

Creditors have spent the past nine years pursuing Saad, which is based in the city of Khobar in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.

Investors see the case as a litmus test of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s commitment to reforms.

Etqaan Alliance, the consortium appointed by Saudi authorities to liquidate assets owned by al-Sanea and the company in an effort to repay creditors, plans to begin selling the company’s assets in Saudi Arabia.

Ministry of Justice confirmed an auction would be launched this month to sell vehicles, equipment, a large quantity of building materials and some property before the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, which starts in May. 

What’s even more staggering is the fleet of vehicles owned by the Saad Group. There are 923 vehicles under its ownership, including trucks, buses, and cars. A further 26 vehicles are registered under al-Sanea’s name,including a Rolls Royce, a Hummer, and Cadillac Concord.

All of the proceeds from the auction will be distributed to the company’s creditors.

Can the Nigerian Government fight bribery and corruption like the Chinese and Saudi Governments?

  Nigeria Moves To Recover $3 Billion From Chinese Owned Addax Petroleum
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 05:29 PM - No Replies

Nigeria has commenced legal proceedings against Chinese owned oil firm, Addax Petroleum, for recovery of the sum of $3 billion alleged to be under-remitted royalties, and taxes by the company.

In the documents filed before Justice Olatoregun on Friday, Nigerian governments said the funds are outstanding claims against the company under the Petroleum Profit Tax Act and Petroleum (Drilling and Production) Amendment Regulation 2003 over Oil Mining Leases (OMLs) 123, 124, 126, and 137.

Joined as respondents in the suit are Addax Petroleum Development Nigeria Ltd, Addax Petroleum Exploration Nigeria Ltd, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the Ministry of Petroleum Resources/Department of Petroleum Resources, and the National Petroleum Investment & Management Services (NAPIMS).

Documents filed before the court by D.A. Awosika and partners, the chamber representing the Federal government in the suit indicated that the company piled up the $3 billion unremitted funds as a result of its illegal and irregular reliance on Side Letters dated 21st November 2001, 20th December 2001, and 24th August 2004 which were never gazetted.

The move to recover the funds from Addax came three months after a PREMIUM TIMES report on how the Chinese firm allegedly paid millions of dollars in bribes to Nigerian officials to secure juicy contracts in the oil industry.

In 1998, Addax Petroleum, a subsidiary of China's Sinopec Group, one of the world's largest oil and gas producers, entered into a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the NNPC (as concessionaire) in respect of OPL 98/118 and OPL 90/225.

Four years later, the company discovered oil in commercial quantities and the OPLs were converted into Oil Mining Leases (OMLs) 123/124 and 126/137.

The PSC entered by the two parties required Addax Petroleum to pay royalties on any oil produced from the relevant oil blocks at the rate of 20 percent as stipulated by law. It also provided that the Petroleum Profit Tax Act (PPTA) applicable to the contract areas shall be 65.75 percent for the first five years, starting from the first day of the month of the first sale of the oil, and 85 percent thereafter.

But, according to the Statement of Claim filed by D.A Awosika & Partners, Addax Petroleum fraudulently obtained a Side Letter in 2001 and 2004 which were "never gazetted" and which they used in calculating their taxes and royalties.

The calculations in the side letters fixed the PPT payable by the company at 60 percent and, rather than the 20 percent flat rate of royalty, provided for a graduated rate depending on the volume of oil produced from the oil blocks.

The side letters were signed by Enginneer Funsho Kupolokun, then Special Assistant on Petroleum and Energy to former President Olusegun Obasanjo (in 2001) and Olabode Agusto, then Director General/Special Adviser on Budget to the President (in 2004).

"Several objections and protests were raised by FIRS (Federal Inland Revenue Service), NNPC, and DPR to the reliance on these side letters by the Defendants to bypass, supplant, and subvert the process," the government’s lawyers stated in their claim.

"In 2003, in order to give effect to the graduated royalty regime stated in the side letters, the Minister of Petroleum Resources (Mr. Obasanjo) issued the Petroleum (Drilling and Production) Amendment Regulations which provided for graduated royalty rates for onshore and shallow offshore PSC which did not account for royalty by tranches.

"The Petroleum (Drilling and Production) Amendment Regulations 2003 when made was given retrospective effect from the first day of January, 2000, which was the same date of commencement of the graduated royalty rates contained in the side letters."

Several meetings between Nigerian government officials - represented by the FIRS, DPR, and NNPC - and representatives of Addax Petroleum reassess and resolve the latter's "colossal underpayment" to the government between 2007 and 2012 yielded no results.

In one of the meetings, which it was discovered that the company's application of the graduated royalty rates as provided for in the Petroleum (Drilling and Production) Amendment Regulations 2003 as contained in the side letters was erroneous.

Rather than relying on the applicable royalty rates in calculating their daily production volume, Addax Petroleum allegedly developed a practice of slicing their volume rate of royalty to different tranches of production thereby significantly reducing their royalty obligations.

Government calculations of under-remittance showed that the company withheld $1.3 billion in royalties and $1.7 billion in PPT.

But Addax Petroleum maintained its right to the use of the side letters for computing the taxes on its operations and dragged the government over accusations of a breach of their 1998 PSC on the oil blocks.

In suit FHC/ABJ/CS/1099/2014 filed before former chief judge of Federal High Court Ibrahim Auta, the company sought a judicial approval towards their continued use of the side letters to compute its financial obligations to the Nigerian government.

However, on 26th May, 2015, three days before the administration of then president, Goodluck Jonathan, handed over to his successor, Muhammadu Buhari; the government negotiated a controversial out of court settlement with Addax Petroleum, agreeing to pay the company $3.4 billion (about N1 trillion).

Court papers filed by the Nigerian government's lawyers stated that Addax Petroleum "surreptitiously teamed up" with some officials of DPR, FIRS, and NNPC to execute certain terms of settlement which was eventually made the Consent Judgment of court notwithstanding the pendency of several applications yet to be heard by the same court.

"In executing the said terms of settlement, the authorities were not sought, no approval at Federal Executive Council level was given, the governing boards of the FIRS, NNPC and DPR did not authorize those officers that executed the bogus terms of settlement to so act," the lawyers argued.

Premium times had also in 2015 reported how the then Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, negotiated the shocking deal industry experts said was reminiscent of the infamous Malabu Oil deal in which the same Mr. Adoke was involved in.

However, in one of President Buhari's first moves to clean Nigeria's monumentally corrupt oil industry, the NNPC in a letter to Addax Petroleum endorsed by the president and dated 7th September, 2015, reversed the agreement entered into under the previous administration.

Despite the accusations of bribing Nigerian officials and underpayment of taxes and royalties, Addax Petroleum has continued to ramp up its operations in the country, announcing in December last year about its plans for fresh investment of "between $3 - $5 billion in Nigeria over the coming years."

"Our future in Nigeria remains bright," Dorothy Atake, General Manager, External & Government Affairs, Addax Petroleum.

In its suit before justice Mojisola Olatoregun of Federal High Court Lagos, the Nigerian government is seeking for an order directing the NNPC, Ministry of Petroleum/DPR, and NAPIMS from further allocation of crude oil explored from OMLs 123, 124, 126, and 137 to Addax Petroleum pending when the company furnishes the court verifiable Bank Guarantee from Nigerian banks to cover the monetary claims of the plaintiff.

Other prayers sought by the Nigerian government include an order restraining the NNPC, Petroleum Ministry, and NAPIMS from dealing with Addax Petroleum as wells as stopping them from transferring or assigning their interest in the OMLs to another person. Also, an order compelling the Nigerian agencies to file an affidavit of fact detailing the company's assets, properties, and funds.

On Friday, Justice Olatoregun granted an order for the government's lawyers to serve court papers to the NNPC, the third respondent in the suit, whose office is situated in Abuja, outside the court's jurisdiction.

  2019: Atiku Abubakar To Formally Declare In Two Weeks
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 05:27 PM - No Replies

Quote:A former Vice President and Wazirin Adamawa Atiku Abubakar has said that he will formally declare his 2019 Presidential ambition under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform in two week in Abuja.
He stated this Saturday in Abuja at the formal launch of the Street to Street Support Initiative (SSSI) for Atiku 2019 and the inauguration of national, zonal and states officers of the organisation led by National President and Head of Administration Wabara Emeka Gerald.

He was represented at the event by the National Chairman of Atiku Cares Foundation and Director Youth of Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation (AACO) Aliyu Bin Abbas.

According to him, the former vice president betrayed emotion and had to fight very hard from shedding tears due to the overwhelming support and love shown him across the country especially in his bid for the Presidency.

“He nearly shed tears when he (Atiku) asked me to reschedule another engagement to represent him here as he was overwhelmed by the massive support given to him by Nigerians especially the youths in his 35-year experience of being a politician. He has suffered a lot from the hand of politicians but is consoled by the increasing support by Nigerians. In two weeks’ time by Gods’ Grace he will formally open his campaign office in Abuja under the platform of the PDP.

“His message is that it is high time for Nigerians to vote out those in government due to their failure of helping the country out of its predicament and only resort to propaganda; and use and dump tactics,” he said.

  ''Senate Rejected Me Because I’m Doing My Job Well'' - Magu
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 05:26 PM - No Replies

The acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, says the reason why the senate has rejected his nomination twice is because he is doing his job very well.



The Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has on two occasions, stated that despite the senate's position on his nomination, Magu is going nowhere. Osinbajo last year stated that the presidency can even confirm Magu without the input of the senate.

Speaking on Channels Television recently, Magu said he is not deterred by the delay in his confirmation.

“I don’t think my non-confirmation has given the public a cause for concern. I think it is a lot of encouragement. The fact that I am not confirmed shows I am working. Really. In the anti-corruption environment, if they rush to confirm you, it means you are not doing your work properly.” Magu said

The EFCC acting chairman went on to say that ''a number of the people we are investigating are also in the national assembly. I am not completely distracted. It is not an issue. Rather, it gives me courage. You wake up in the morning and see some terrible publications about you. Despite all these, we are determined to go ahead. I cannot be distracted with those things. Nobody can purchase me, I cannot compromise what I am doing.”

  What Could Tinubu Be Telling Saraki Here? (Photo)

Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 05:24 PM - No Replies

As the news of the Federal Government taking a new battle against Saraki went viral yesterday, it was shocking for some Nigerians to still see the embattled Kwara Politician in the midst of his party men and even the president who many believe is being used to facilitate a targeted war against Him (Saraki).

At that marriage ceremony in Kano, this suspicious picture was taken.

What could the Asiwaju of the Universe be telling Saraki that he looked this cool-headed and sober?

Is it part of the "impossible reconciliation " of his party men among who Saraki (who is believed to be perfecting plans to defect to the PDP) is a Chief aggrieved member? 

What do you think?

  Keep Quiet, You Have Failed’ – Wike Blasts Amaechi, APC Leaders In Rivers
User Avatar Forum: Retired Forums. Please Make Your Post Within The 3 Forums In General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 05:08 PM - No Replies

The governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has berated leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, for failing to attract tangible projects to the state since 2015.

Governor Wike said that the Rivers APC leaders, who are working with the failed APC Federal Government, should remain quiet because they could not deliver.

Wike said this on Saturday, after the flag-off of the construction of Umueze-Umuogba-Umuokpurukpu-Umueke-Umunju-Umuellechi-Eberi road in Omuma Local Government Area of the state.

He said, “The Federal Government has no tangible project in Rivers State after close to three years in government. These APC leaders from Rivers State have been unable to attract a single project.

“If you know that you cannot deliver projects to the people of Rivers State, you better keep quiet and allow us develop the state.”

According to Wike, as a Minister of State for Education, he was able to attract 22 key projects to the State and grants for Ignatius Ajuru University of Education and Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic.

He thanked the people of Omuma Local Government Area for their overwhelming support, while assuring them that they would enjoy key projects.

He said, “There is no way that Omuma Local Government Area will not continue to benefit from key projects. The lawmaker representing Omuma State Constituency, Rt Hon Kelechi Nwogu, has performed creditably and we can see his constituency project.

“Those, who represented Omuma Local Government Area in the past, what is their legacy. For this administration, we shall develop the area.”

  Lauretta Onochie Defends Buhari’s Presence At Ajimobi-Ganduje Wedding In Kano
User Avatar Forum: Politics
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 05:08 PM - No Replies

Lauretta Onochie has defended President Muhammadu Buhari‘s presence at the Ajimobi-Ganduje wedding in Kano.

President Buhari, along with other governors and politicians, were in Kano on Saturday for the wedding ceremony of son of Oyo State Governor, Idris Abiola Ajimobi and daughter of Kano State Governor, Fatima Umar Ganduje.

Nigerians had criticised the president’s actions, saying he has failed to visit Dapchi, where Boko Haram insurgents last week abducted 110 girls from Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, in Yobe State.

The president’s special assistant, Femi Adesina, had earlier said the president will visit Yobe State if he feels there is a need to.

Onochie, on her Twitter, said President Buhari is an adult and will decide where he goes. She wrote:

President @MBuhari is an adult. He decides where he goes. He decided it’s Kano today. And to Kano he went.

  Morning Devotional For Sunday 4th March
User Avatar Forum: Daily Devotions
Posted by: Edoman - 03-04-2018, 11:21 AM - No Replies

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

SUNDAY, 4TH MARCH.

Pastor Chris

TOPIC ✨ SPIRITUAL AWARENESS✨

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints (Ephesians 1:17-18).

The word, “know” in our opening text is the Greek “eido.” It means, “To become aware.” God wants you to become aware of the hope of His calling in your life, and the inheritance He’s made available to you in Him.

1 John 5:13 (NIV) says, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” God wants you to know you have eternal life in your spirit now. When you’re aware of it, you’re going to live and act accordingly. It’s part of growth—learning about the things of God—knowing where you are, and who you are in Him.

Eternal life is the life and nature of God, which you receive at the new birth: “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:11-12). Are you aware that you have eternal life? Has it dawned on you that you’re an associate of the God-kind? You may not feel it in your body that you’ve received the life of God; that’s because eternal life is in your spirit and not your physical body, and your consciousness of it will affect the way you live.

You’re not ordinary; the life in you is incorruptible, making you excellent and full of glory. God wants you to come to the active knowledge of this truth.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for eternal life that’s in my spirit. I live and function with the consciousness that I’m an associate of the God-kind. Nothing is impossible to me, for as Christ is, so am I in this world. I’m healthy and strong, strengthened with might by God’s Spirit in my inner man, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
John 17:2-3 "As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

1 Corinthians 2:12 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."

Quote:The man-eater: Human arm and a leg are found inside 20ft crocodile, two days after plantation worker went missing in Indonesia.

*The crocodile is shot close to a river where the plantation worker went missing
*Police say they found his arm and his leg inside the crocodile's stomach
*The incident happened in Kalimantan, in the Indonesian part of Borneo

A human leg and arm have been found inside the belly of a huge crocodile suspected of mauling a man to death in Borneo, Indonesian police have said.

Authorities shot and killed the 20-foot-long crocodile close to a riverbank where a local palm oil plantation worker had gone missing two days earlier, with only his motorbike and sandals found at the site, they said.

The search ended Thursday when 36-year-old Andi Aso Erang's lifeless body - missing two limbs - was discovered floating in a different part of the river in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo.
