Oritsejafor Deceived Jonathan With False Election Prophecy – Okotie

The General Overseer of Household of God Church, Rev. Chris Okotie, on Sunday said that were it not Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s “false” prophecy to former President Goodluck Jonathan, the latter (Jonathan) would not have contested the 2015 presidential election.

He said that the former President had initially made up his mind not to vie for the election, but stated that Oritsejafor “deceived” him with tales of victory as prophesied unto him by God.
Oritsejafor is the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria.
Okotie, who said this while delivering a sermon in his church on Sunday in Lagos, said, “Pastor Oritsejafor deceived Jonathan with a false prophecy from God that he (Jonathan) would win the election convincingly.”

Ban Eze Ndigbo Title Outside Igboland —Igbokwe

The Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, has called for the abolition of the Eze Ndigbo title outside Igbo land.
He said the craze for title by the Igbo indigenes outside their states of origin was making a mockery of the Igbo tradition and culture.
Igbokwe, who said this in an article titled, ‘Eze Ndigbo title outside Igboland: A needless distraction’, on Sunday, advised the Ohaneze Ndigbo to end the embarrassment caused by the Ndigbo title by issuing a policy paper that compels the Igbo to abide by it.
He said it was unfortunate that politicians outside Igbo land exploit the Eze Ndigbo to their own advantage, especially to win elections.

Amaechi Accuses Wike Of Diverting N45bn Loan

THE immediate past governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has accused the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike, of diverting N45bn loan taken by his administration.
Amaechi made this statement, on Sunday, at a special thanksgiving service organised to mark the October 25 ruling of the Supreme Court, which brought him into power as governor in 2007.
He said, “I borrowed N300bn and I paid N245bn back and I left about N15bn. But now, they are not borrowing to pay contractors. Rather they are borrowing for themselves.
“Borrow to pay contractors not for your purse. They have borrowed N45bn and nobody is seeing it. If you put N45bn in the state economy, the state will be bouncing. They will employ more workers, pay them and you will see things working.”

Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has asked Yoruba leaders threatning to secede over the kidnap of former Secretary to the Government of Federation Chief Olu Falae to “shut up”.

No Nigerian Territory Under Boko Haram –Buratai

Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Burutai, has said no part of Nigerian territory is still under the control of Boko Haram. This is even as he sought support for the anti-insurgent operation in the North-East by providing information.

However, Gen. Buratai’s claim is at variance with the position of Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, who said two local governments in his state are still under the control of the insurgents.

Both spoke separately at the weekend. Shettima stated this while receiving the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr. Babachir David Lawan, who led a six-man committee inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari to pay condolence visits to Borno and Adamawa states, after the suicide attacks at their mosques last Friday. He said: “They (Boko Haram) are presently controlling two local governments in Borno State; Abadam and Mobbar and partially in Marte,” he disclosed.

But the Chief of Army Staff, who spoke with journalists shortly after addressing troops at the headquarters of 3 Division, Marxwel Khobe Cantonment in Jos at the weekend, insisted that the military had recovered all territories previously under Boko Haram.

Buratai said: “It is not true. Boko Haram is not holding any territory.Have you heard them (Boko Haram) making any claim of recent? We are more determined and we have more professional soldiers on the ground.We have been trained and equipped and ready to face the challenges posed by them”

Earlier, the Chief of Army Staff, while addressing the troops, said he was in Jos on a familiarization visit and to acquaint them of his vision to reposition the Army after his appointment.

The soldiers who had gathered at the cantonment parade ground, however, took advantage of the opportunity and bombarded the Chief of Army Staff with complaints, most of which were on welfare.

Corrupt Persons Can’t Fight Corruption –Ali Ndume

It’s unfair to ask Saraki to resign
Senate Leader, Muhammed Ali Ndume, has stoutly denied any division in the nation’s upper legislative chamber. If anything, he says the senate is united and working as one despite the initial friction over the choice of leadership. In an interview with select journalists, he spoke on a number of issues, including the trial of the Senate President before the Code of Conduct Tribunal and President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft war, among others. Ndubisi Orji was there.
All Progressives Congress (APC) senators are still divided. The Lawan group remains bitter that the Saraki group, in defiance to the party directive, denied it the presidency. Why is the party still selling a dummy to Nigerians that all is well?

Following his predecessor’s confirmation by the Senate, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to consider the State for what he called “Grade A” ministries, saying; “Ekiti State, being one of the States created last in the country, deserves a ministerial portfolio that will have direct impact on the people, not just a minister for the sake of federal character.”

Bomb The Living Dead: Iraq Okays Russian Airstrikes against SISIL

As Russian airstrikes push ISIL terrorists from Syria into Iraq, Moscow and Baghdad agreed to hit the militants in Iraq, said Hakem al-Zameli, the head of the Iraqi Parliament’s National Security and Defense Commission, according to Fars News Agency.

ISIL militants aren’t going to find a safe haven from Russian airstrikes in Iraq after the country’s parliament gave Russia the green light to conduct airstrikes against ISIL targets in Iraq.

“Iraq agreed with Russia, which leads the joint data center, to hit the ISIL militants heading from Syria into Iraq,” al-Zameli said, highlighting the fact that the move would also cut off ISIL supply routes from Iraq into Syria, as cited by Fars.

The approval comes amid security coordination between the governments of Russia, Iran, Iraq and Syria — all of which seek to destroy ISIL. The four nations launched the Baghdad Information Center to coordinate their military actions against the terrorists both in Syria and Iraq.

On September 30, Russia launched precision airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria bordering Iraq following a request from Syrian President Bashar Assad. Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said earlier that Baghdad had not requested similar assistance.

The Russian military operation has been widely praised by Iraqi Shiites. For instance, the members of the Shi’ite Badr Organization have claimed they would “strongly welcome” both air attacks conducted by Russians in Iraq and an increasing role of Russia in the entire Middle East region, as the US’ approach to fight with ISIL militants is “not serious.”

Immediately following Russia’s airstrike campaign in Syria, Russian and Iraqi officials left open the possibility of expanding Russia’s anti-terrorist airstrikes from Syria into Iraq. Earlier this month, Iraq Prime Minister Haider Abadi said he would welcome Russian airstrikes against ISIL positions in his country if the Russian military succeeded in Syria.

New Profile Of An APC Leader - Femi Aribisala.

Many monuments have been built in honour of the man Bola Tinubu. He is acclaimed as the political genius of our times who not only engineered the taming of the PDP juggernaut, he caged it and confined it to the backwaters of Otuoke. Since the APC defeat of the PDP in the presidential election, Tinubu the tactician has been feted, celebrated and praised to high heavens. But all these encomiums have proved to be highly exaggerated.

"Magun" (Thunderbolt) Allegedly Kills Prophet After Sleeping With Friend's Wife

 

A white piece of clothing church prophet in a suburb of Lagos, ‘Woli Adesoji’, supposedly met his untimely demise amid s*x with the wife of his dear companion and a senior in the congregation.

It was accumulated that the ‘Woli’, was actually ousted from another church where he was a prophet after he was nabbed with a member’s wife and he later opened his own congregation and appeared to proceed in his indulgence.

Being the pioneer of the congregation, Adesoji had a free rule and laid down with any lady he considered fit, both wedded and single, particularly the individuals who looked for fruits of the womb or spouses.

According to a church member “It was a thing of shame when Prophet Adesoji, a married man with several children, died while making love to another man’s wife. And the woman is married to an elder in the church.

We all know Woli to be very randy and had been suspected by many but since he was the founder of the church, no one could confront him. It seemed the woman’s husband had planted ‘magun’ (a Yoruba voodoo meant to prevent a woman from committing adu!tery), on his wife and behold, it was Woli that was caught in the trap.

He died in a very shameful way in his private room in the church. The woman has since fled the area while church members have been trying to come to terms with the ugly incident.”

Pro-Biafra Campaign Championed By Ignorant Youths – Previous Head of State, Gowon

 

Previous Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (retd.), has dismissed any potential threat to Nigeria’s proceeded with corporate presence as an aftereffect of the exercises of some professional Biafra groups.

General Gowon, who was in charge of undertakings of the country when the Nigerian common war broke out in 1967, noticed that Nigerians have put behind them the terrible recollections of the three year bleeding struggle, including that those behind the protests were adolescents who have no clue what the war cost Nigerians.

 

He, however, said he wished he could meet with the pro-Biafra secessionists to counsel them on the dangers of beating the drums of war, adding that “if there’s anything of the sort, anywhere in any part of the country, just like the Boko Haram issue, Nigeria should deal with it in a mature way”.

The elder statesman stated this in Lafia, the Nasarwa State capital shortly after a malaria eradication campaign visit to Governor Tanko Al-Makura.

Gowon further opined that pro-Biafra campaign was being driven by just a few people and that the generality of the Igbo people do not share the view.

While admitting that the protesters had the right to express their feelings, Gowon stated “with Biafra, it is finished”.

Ever Wonder How a Nuclear Plant Makes low-cost and efficient Electricity ? (Video)

Ever wonder how a nuclear plant like Watts Bar makes low-cost electricity? The heat created by nuclear fission is captured and used to create steam. The steam is used to turn a series of large turbines connected to a huge electric generator. How huge? At any moment, a single unit’s generator is producing all of the power needed for 650,000 homes and businesses with no greenhouse or carbon emissions. With both units operational, that’s 2,300 megawatts which is electricity for 1.3 million homes.

‘Have you any Common Sense?’ – Putin Crushes BBC Journalist’s Stupid Questions

Is common sense severely lacking in mainstream Western journalism?

Russia’s President Putin found himself having to ask BBC journalist John Simpson if he has any common sense at all, as he pushed the establishment line that Russia is an aggressor in the world.

Right Wing Nationalist and Racist Football Fans In Ukraine Attack African Fans Of Their Own Club (Video)

They cherished the same game and supported the same club however kindred fans assaulted them as a result of the colour of their skin. It is shameful how in this day and age some sport fans could be so nauseating and bigot. Common sense would propose that regardless of the possibility that you are racist against African people, it’s ideal not to show off your inclinations at a broadcast ballgame where there are such a large number of cameras rolling.

Be that as it may, obviously prejudice is still regular, while sound judgment is NOT, in a few sections of Eastern Europe. Amid a Champions League match between Dynamo Kiev and Chelsea on October 20 in Ukraine, four African folks were targeted on and thrashed by others devotees of the same club they all supported.


This implies Dynamo Kiev fans beat up a cluster of other Dynamo Kiev fans on the grounds that they were Africans. It wasn’t only one group targeting on them either. Wherever the quartet went they kept running into fierce Right Wing Nationalist and Racist Football Fans. A few others did attempt to protect them yet they were far and few between.

It’s simply tragic that these kind of disdainful forces are permitted to exist within the Beautiful Game. Football-related accepted racism by Dynamo fans is just the same old thing new. Last season the club paid a fine and was requested to close some portion of its stadium where the Ultras sit as discipline for their supporters’ provocation of the visisting Evertonians.

UEFA needs to descend overwhelming on Dynamo since it’s a rehash offense. In the main time, the club has an obligation to identify and serve life bans to each one of the individuals who were included in the loathsome episode above.

UEFA has in the past banned clubs for failing to agree to its money related regulations. Maybe, it’s time it likewise announces racism as an issue worth banning clubs for. Perhaps then just Dynamo will spring enthusiastically and free itself of its Right Wing Nationalist and Racist Football Fans like people over in Britain did in the ’80s.
