All Progressives Congress, APC, has renewed its call on the Federal Government to probe the whereabouts of the dividends paid to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, by the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG, as well as taxes paid to the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Federation Account prior to the latest payment in June 2015. APC, in a statement is-

sued in Lagos by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the call has become more urgent against the backdrop of published reports that NNPC has withdrawn $1.2bn from banks for deposit with the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN. Mohammed said the move by the NNPC is a panic reaction to the expose that over $4bn are missing in past dividends paid to it by NLNG.

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has adopted 180 as minimum cut-off mark for admission into degree awarding institutions for the 2015 session. With this, 931,559 candidates who sat for the 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, organised by the body have now meet the cut off mark. Similarly, about 1.4 million candidates scaled through the 150 cut off mark

for admission into various colleges of education, polytechnics, and Innovation Diploma-awarding institutions as approved by JAMB. The marks were approved by JAMB after heads of tertiary institutions in the country voted in favour of the scores at the 6th Combined Policy Meeting on Admissions to Degree, Nigeria Certificate in Education, National Diploma and Innovation Diploma-awarding institutions in Abuja.

My Mondays are like Sundays to me, they are my rest days, Monday is a day I stay home to arrange and strategise my activities for the week. Only very important meetings or impromptu studio schedules can move me out of my house on Monday, it’s a day I work from home and have good quality time for myself. I work as a project manager apart from music and it has to be three times in a week Tuesday is one of the days I jog especially in the mornings to keep me energetic and ready for the day. This third day of the week is for studio sessions with my producer. Whether we have a song to do or not I must touch the studio 2/3 times in a week, it helps my sound because it gives me an opportunity to improve on myself and my songs, we could touch a song over and over again then at night I attend a Bible class or evening service and then I head home and continue with the usual home activities cook, watch TV, listen to the news and rest till the next day. Thursday is when I start getting ready for my weekends especially if I’m invited to a show where I’m supposed to perform. Most Fridays, I make sure I visit my designer for a new outfit, do my nails and hair just to prepare for the weekend events or shows , I also drop by the studio to work although there are times my studio work gets so tough I go almost every day . Friday nights are always booked with one show or an event to attend and if there is no performance I stay home and I read.

Citadel of uprising

LASU’s many troubles The Lagos State University, LASU, has been embroiled in perennial crisis since inception in 1984. Why has this citadel of learning become synonymous with crisis which has all but sullied the reputation of what should ordinarily be a reference point in the nation’s education sector. Paul Omo Obadan digs into the foundations of the many troubles that have plagued LASU. ‘CRISIS IS A PRODUCT OF VENDETTA’

agos State University fondly called LASU was established in 1984 for the advancement of learning and establishment of academic excellence. However this lofty dream has virtually become a mirage following the perennial crisis that constantly confronts the university When will the Lagos State University, which was once acknowledged as the best state owned university in Nigeria, be free from internal wrangling? This is the question on the lips of students, neighbors and well meaning Nigerians. At the helm of affairs is the Vice-Chancellor, Professor John Oladapo Obafunwa, an expert in Pathology and Forensic Medicine. The vice-chancellor hails from Ibowon, in Epe Local Government Area of Lagos State. He was a two-time provost of Lagos State University College of Medicine who transformed the college into the present enviable status between 2006-2010. However LASU has been going through crisis since its establishment in 1984 as a multi-campus, non residential university. Thirty one years after, its founding

fathers and former vice chancellors surely will not be happy at its descent. Former Vice Chancellors Pioneering Vice Chancellor was Professor Folabi Olumide, who has been succeeded by late Professor (Mrs.) Jadesola Akande, Professor Bababunmi, late Professor Fatiu Ademola Akesode, Professor Abisogun Leigh and Professor Abdul Lateef A. Hussein respectively. However each of the vice chancellors has tasted from the bitter pill of strife that has rocked the institution. Professor Obafunwa succeeded Professor Abdul Lateef A. Hussein whose tenure witnessed crippling strikes that paralyzed the institution for several months and years as academic staff, students, non-academic staff and other unions fell out with the former VC, Hussein, who was indicted for alleged mismanagement and abuse of office, and later sent packing. Prior to the appointment of a substantive vice-chancellor, Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello acted as acting vice-chancellor. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Sunday Mirror www.nationalmirroronline.net

‘Crisis is a product of vendetta’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 The Lagos State University has, for a variety of reasons, been a hotbed of crises for much of its 30-year history. This, Sunday Mirror gathered is due to the frosty relationship between various sections of labour unions and the management. Some departments of the university have had their courses de-accredited due to the exodus of some senior lecturers, who were allegedly frustrated out of the university. However, on assumption of office, Obafunwa vowed to rid LASU of rot by the introduction certain administrative and academic policies, among which were: ensuring students do their registration for semesters’ courses online, online payment of tuition fees through Quick Teller, assessing students’ results and updated academic profiles online latest two weeks after examinations, ensuring there is uninterrupted convocation ceremonies, as well as ensuring that graduates now get their certificates immediately on graduation. But despite these laudable policies, meant to get rid of the rot of the past, there seems to be no end in sight to LASU’s crises, as the unending imbroglio between the university management and staff unions of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Senior Staff Union of Universities, SSANU and the Non-Academic Staff Union, NASU, over issues bordering on staff welfare and power tussle as continued unabated. A female student at the Faculty of Social Science, who preferred anonymity captured the feelings of most students when Sunday Mirror sampled their opinion. “Our VC has tried. Students now Matriculate, graduate and go for Youth Service within the stipulated time. There has been massive infrastructural development within the campus since he took over. He is a good man. The VC ensured that final year students graduated and went for Youth service, a trend that was lacking under previous tenures”, she said. The Current Crisis Sunday Mirror gathered that the current crisis sprang on Monday March 16, 2015 when students and staff of LASU woke to learn that the entrance gates were barricaded with vehicles belonging to the staff unions-ASUU, NASU and SSANU. National Coordinator, Education Rights Campaign, ERC, Hassan Taiwo Soweto, captured the situation in this interview with Sunday Mirror. According to the Soweto, “The present crisis in LASU is a product of an evil agenda hatched by the state government and the Prof. Obafunwa-led university administration to make scapegoats of unions and individuals that played active roles in the struggle to reverse the astronomical fees of the institution last year. First to be attacked was the Students Union. Just as the union was about to organise its elections precisely in December 2014, the university administration decided to suspend it because it feared that a candidate for the presidential position who led the struggle against the fee hike was likely to win. It took pressure before the university administration allowed the elections to take place. He claimed that soon afterwards, the university administration pounced on the staff unions whose strike last year, alongside with students protest, was decisive in forcing the state government to backtrack on the fee hike policy. According to him, “Several academic staff members including the ASUU chairman Dr. Idris Adekunle had their PhD certificates withdrawn in suspicious circumstances that convey the impression that it was a massive and deliberate witch-hunt against all those who played notable roles in the successful struggle against high fees last year. Also, Prof. Tunde Fatunde, a 62 year -old academic, was placed on half salary for allegedly being rude to the Registrar. Whereas, his offence actually was the “effrontery” to write an article published in some national dailies last year calling on Governor Fashola to reverse LASU fees. “Asides this, members of other staff unions like the Non Academic Staff Union, NASU, and the Senior Staff Union of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, also faced victi-

misation and undemocratic attacks. For instance, at one point at least five members of SSANU were interdicted by the university administration. “So to begin to understand the crisis in LASU requires that one must understand the enormous defeat the state government suffered last year over its fee hike policy and the vindictive mindset that emerged later especially within the ranks of the university administration to get back at all those who played one role or the other in the struggle. In every way, the administrative personnel of the Lagos State University are merely the official representatives of

the government in power i.e. the Lagos State government and their actions are often sanctioned by their principals. Not surprising therefore that at the onset of the attacks and victimisation, the unions wrote and submitted several petitions and complaints to relevant authorities. Also a rally was organised by the Joint Action Front (JAF) to Alausa to call the attention of the immediate past government of Mr Babatunde Fashola. Unfortunately all of these overtures were ignored thus allowing the crisis to fester. “Again one must stress that like most public institutions of higher learning, the seemingly unending crises in LASU revolves around three key issues: Funding, staff or student welfare and management despotism and highhandedness. To be sure, all of these issues are within the scope of government constitutional responsibility.” However Comrade Oseni Momodu, a fresh graduate of History & International Studies, countered Soweto position. He said: “The truth is, the current crisis is about tenure of vice chancellorship. Some professors are eyeing the post and don’t want him to contest for second term. However, the tussle is not peculiar to LASU, as too many professors who are qualified want it but only one is picked. This is why it’s always a fight to finish with the interference of government as well as its bureaucratic cabal and different divergent interests involved. “Ironically, you continue to hear each side saying when demands are meant issues will be resolved. But it should be noted that Prof. Obafunwa is the main target of the current fight. However, his achievements as VC are laudable and that is his legacy. The following projects are to his credit- New faculty of science, law theatre, LASU Radio, Senate building, Students Union Arcade, New library, etc. He has continually said that he aims to stabilise academic calendar, rebuild LASU, convocate and matriculate every year. This, he has succeeded in doing until this last crisis raised its ugly head.” Grouse of the Staff Unions Sunday Mirror gathered that the staff unions are angry with the vice Chancellor’s led management and most of them have earnestly lamented their non-payment of salary arrears, non promotion of staff members including casual workers as well as perceived victimisation etc. For the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) members, the management team led by Obafunwa has undermined the due process of the university’s laws and that he lacks the requisite skills in running university administration. Also, there was the issue of the 19 doctor of philosophy (PhD) certificates that were said to have been issued in error by the university and had to be withdrawn. Reacting, its embattled chairman, in an earlier interview with one of the dailies, Dr. Adekule Idris noted that the withdrawal of his certificate was intentional, adding that it was an attempt to rubbish his public image and prestige for not supporting anti-workers policies. “My sins against the man is that we struggled for hike in tuition in 2014 and questioned his leadership style towards staff members”. He added that any staff that advances opposing views to the VC is seen as his enemy. However the Lagos State government has said that 17 out of the 19 PhD certificates withdrawn by the management of Lagos State University (LASU) have been cleared. Special Adviser to Lagos State governor on education, Mr. Fatai Olukoga, stated recently that the certificates were cleared after due process. Olukoga explained that 19 lecturers were alleged to have obtained fake PhD certificates. He said that the remaining two lecturers failed to appear for clearance because they are members of the Academic Staff Union and their certificates still remained withheld. “Seventeen have been cleared; the remaining two are unionists. The chairman of ASUU refused to come for clearance saying that his certificate is with (Chief Femi) Falana. “We are waiting for Falana to sue LASU and see whether he can win. LASU was established by law, the management and the governing council are independent to run the day-to-day affairs of the institution”. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

We stepped on toes in transforming LASU –Obafunwa Vice-Chancellor, Lagos State University, Professor Oladapo Obafunwa speaks on the current state of affairs in the institution in this interview with Paul Omo Obadan. I want you to enumerate some of the allegations against you … VC cuts. Before I respond to the various allegations, I think it is important for us to start with the good side of LASU and what we have witnessed in LASU in the past almost four years and understand where and why those allegations are popping up. I came in on November 2011, and by the end of October, it’s going to be four years that I have moved in. when I came on board, I found a lot of rot in LASU. You have to be bold to decide to confront the rot. It’s either you want to gloss over things, so that you will have a smooth sailing tenure or you want to make fundamental changes. When I got to LASU, I discovered that on the main campus, minus the medical school, the imprest fund (A cash fund set aside for minor expenses in a company’s operations, including the purchase of supplies and non-personal operating expenses, which must be authorised by an imprest fund cashier) being collected was about N30m. I reduced it to 5.5m a month with the support of the then governing council. We went to council and we were able to prove it. I know of a particular unit, the then ICT director as at that time was collecting a monthly imprest of about N600,000. The same ICT is being run with about N90,000 after I took over. I don’t want to mention the Professor. But when you have that kind of Professor in the forefront of agitations now, you can understand the reason for the whole agitation. This is despite the fact I did not bother myself about what anybody had collected. So it was not a question of come and explain this and come and explain that. And the imprest for the office of the Vice chancellor, I reduced it by 66.6 per cent, two thirds. The office of the vice chancellor used to include the VC, one deputy vice chancellor, the director of internal audit and the entire team, director of academic planning and his team, communications, information and press, security, deputy registrar, VC’s office and catering. Everybody put together was about N1.7m a month. Two thirds removed, the remaining one third, we now added the second office of the deputy vice chancellor to it. People were used to just living on the imprest and never bothered about their salary. So when you remove all those things, you can understand why there would be agitation against me. Before I got into LASU, school fees were being paid into several accounts. As at today, there is only on account. All school fees go into the First Bank account. I recall I got into LASU and found out that the amount of money that was being giving to us was not even enough to pay salaries. On the main campus, we had about 75 bank accounts now reduced to 19. In the external campuses, we had 105 accounts, now reduced to 3. So you see a lot of people benefitting illegally. When you now tighten the whole thing, you can appreciate why they would complain. We had a situation whereby somebody is at 400 level he cannot graduate because we are still looking for the result of his 100 level. I said ‘what is happening? In the medical school here, when you finish exams, within 72/96 hours, results are posted. The

Obafunwa

whole thing was strange to me and so many things were responsible for this. Sorting, negotiating marks etc And I told the students, you don’t have to beg anybody before you have your results. And you do not have to go and negotiate any grade. A situation whereby on the day of exam, you have about 1,000 students showing up. You ask the HOD or dean, they don’t know how many students. They said they prepared for only 200 or 300 students. So we had to change the whole process of registration starting from the department. Every HOD must know the number of students. The dean must know the number of students in the faculty. So that by the time we are preparing for exams, you know how many people you are preparing for. By the time exams are finished, within two weeks, the person that marked a particular paper must have the results ready to be uploaded…. So that they don’t get to final year later on and start looking for any particular result. So all these loopholes for malpractices on both sides, we had to find a way to cut them down. And by so doing, we are working towards a stable academic calendar. I mean why can’t I come into a university and know when I am going to graduate. How are you doing this? Before this administration, I think LASU had no convocation for about five years. We had one in 2012, 2013, 2014, the one for 2015 was the one they disrupted in the week of March 16. Because some people were like no vice-chancellor has ever had more than two convocations, so why would this person want to have four convocations back to back. We have had four matriculations. Despite the fact that we did not have that fourth convocation, by the Grace of God, we will still have this year.

If you have this impressive track record, why are the unions agitating for your removal? All this noise you are hearing, there is only one agenda behind it. Because some people feel that the VC is interested in a second term. ‘Let us create confusion so that in case he is interested in a second term, he would lose interest or the powers that be will not give him the mandate. People are petty and I recall on one occasion, the current chairman of ASSU, came to my office and for 20 minutes he was talking about second term. This was about two and a half years ago when I was getting to know him for the first time. He said you know that this person died in the course of …. And I asked, ‘what I have got to do with all this? If you go to LASU today, you would see the amount of infrastructural development. You have the new student union building. It is virtually finished and is being painted now. You have the twin lecture theatre in Faculty of Law. You have another two story building, the new law library, which is already in use. There is a new faculty of science complex, The Senate building, seven stories. The two story Central Library. The new auditorium that was completed in 2012, it had been there for about 15 years, we completed it. And I recall at some point when some people were saying they were going to spend N29m to do it, I told them, give me N6m, we will finish it. We spent about N5.7m. The three in one lecture theatre completed, we now have the license to start operating LASU radio. Faculty of Engineering in Epe, there is a new auditorium there. That place has not witnessed any new infrastructure in about 19 years of its existence. These are just few things that I can remember. And I can tell you that in another month or two, another wave of construction will commence. Some people claim you are withholding their certificates. I met a backlog of certificates. This administration has signed over 30,000 certificates. In external campuses, for three years running now, when you finish exams, within 48 hours, the results will be online. As for internal undergraduates, they can now access their results online. They don’t have to come to the university. They pay their fees online. Nothing going into any private pocket, all this story about examination racket, and admission racket has been nipped in the bud. I only mentioned some of these things for you to appreciate why naturally, some people will feel upset. So when they talk of high handedness and victimization, you start wondering. If you are due for promotion, you get your promotion. In the 2008 Conditions of Service book, I think page 59. It says promotion is based on availability of space. Meaning, there must be vacancy. So if you heard them saying things like ‘Obafunwa will not promote us. He introduced no vacancy, no promotion policy’, it has been in the condition of service even before I became vice-chancellor. It’s there. Both junior and senior staff. If there is no space, where do you move into? Maybe that is the offence of this administration, trying to do what needs to be done.

‘LASU’s woes linked to controvertial fee hike’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 Idris further noted that it is saddening for a system that awarded a degree to come and criticise same not minding the wrong signal it might send to the larger society. He added that such singular act has misrepresented all holders of LASU certificates (first, second and third degrees) before the outside world. According to him, the vice chancellor had created a parallel Senate through his meetings with HODs prior to Senate meetings, an act which is unknown to law. He also alleged that there were irregular appointments and the use of improperly constituted Senate to elect Senate representatives to the Governing Council.

It was also alleged that the VC refused to conduct election to the deanship of the School of Communication in accordance with the university’s laws. He stated that Obafunwa was using a group of ASUU members, currently under suspension, to cause confusion in the LASU branch of ASUU and in the university. Prof. Obafunwa however countered all the allegations, explaining his campaign to rid LASU of unimaginable corruption and rot was the reason for the campaign of calumny against him. “The imprest for the office of the vice chancellor, I reduced it by 66.6 per cent, two thirds. The office of the vice chancellor used to include the VC, one deputy vice chan-

cellor, the director of internal audit and the entire team, director of academic planning and his team, communications, information and press, security, deputy registrar, VC’s office and catering. Everybody put together was about N1.7m a month. Two thirds removed, the remaining one third, we now added the second office of the deputy Vice chancellor to it. People were used to just living on the imprest and never bothered about their salary. So when you remove all those things, you can understand why there would be agitation against me. “By the time I finished my analysis within the first month, the imprest to the office of the vice chancellor was CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 reduced by 66 per cent…I know a particular unit where a particular director was collecting N610,000 monthly. We were able to run the same unit with N90,000 monthly.” On the infrastructural development in LASU and other issues, Professor Obafunwa praised the former administration of Governor Babatunde Fashola over the construction and completion of projects and ongoing projects in the institution. He however cautioned the government on leadership problem in the school. ‘LASU’s problem has always been leadership. We lack considerate, focused and visionary leadership’. The three staff unions and management had dragged themselves to Alausa to register their grievances following the March 16th debacle, but the governor directed them to a special committee headed by special adviser on education, Otunba Olukoga, who mediated between them and consequently drew up a resolution, while promising to communicate to them on a later date ostensibly for another meeting. Each party was served copy of the communiqué which the staff unions say did not address their core demands-payment of 45 per cent arrears, formalisation of casual workers, promotion of staff workers in their respective levels, appointment of acting chief security officer (C.S.O), and commencement of terminal leave by the VC. Lasting solution to the perennial crisis Soweto advised that unions should be carried along in the scheme of thing to ensure lasting peace in LASU. “Unlike past administration which treated unions’ grievances with disdain, I urge the new Lagos State Government to immediately convene a meeting with the unions and the university authorities with a view to meeting their demands. “I advice the new governor that he can only succeed in resolving the crisis if he approaches the issues with an open and constructive mind unlike the immediate past administration which held unions with disgust and considered all agitations from the unions as irritations. The vindictive mindset to victimise those who played roles in the struggle against the fee hike policy is a recipe for intractable crises. The new government has to intervene decisively to arrest this dangerous drift and ensure that all legitimate grievances of the unions are met. This is the

only way to begin to guarantee industrial harmony and peace at the Lagos State University”, he said. Similarly, Comrade Oseni Momodu fondly called Embassy spoke to Sunday Mirror on the crisis and also proffered solution. “This current crisis is a continuation of perennial crises that has continued to draw back the peace and progress of LASU and its environs to the detriment of students and image of the school in general, every four years and until this is holistically addressed, the present situation might just be a stepping stone towards more destructive tendencies. He said there was a need to convene an urgent LASU summit to involve alumni, activists like Falana, Bakare, civil society groups, past and present VCs, Pro-chancellors, unions, and opinion leaders; traditional and religious rulers, industrialists and other important stakeholders to help

LASU and the state government both in terms of resources and finding lasting peace. According to him, “LASU problems can’t be left for state alone. I propose that the state government should implement five year single term (for VCs) to reduce tension. Delsu AAU, Uniben, Gombe State University, OAU have all implemented this. Government should also increase funding and re-issue new certificate for Idris. The unions must be more cautious and sincere. They can’t eat their cake and have it. They championed Hussain must go, and they brought Obafunwa. Now it’s ‘Obafuwa must go’. Demonizing of the school must stop. They should allow VC’s free hand in their offices”. All parties are guilty and should sheath their swords According to the President of the Student Union Government, Comrade Adeyemi Wasiu Onikoro, fondly known as Awo, “When this current issue happened, the students union at first made its position known that we were going to be a kind of mediator between the staff union and management. Gone are the days when we just pitch our tents with a particular group and fight management. If we do that, we are just fuelling the whole crisis. So we are in the middle mediating between the two parties and trying to find a lasting solution o he crisis. On getting to the nitty gritty of the whole crisis, we discovered a lot of issues. From the angle of the staff discovered the arrears being owned by the management, also the issue of promotion was discussed and union frowned at the no vacancy, no promotion policy of the management and also complained about the high handedness of the vice chancellor. The vice chancellor also gave his grouse against the unions. At the end of the day, we got to an impasse and found out that the problems are more than we can solve on our own.” Onikoro however insisted that all parties involved are guilty of complicity in fomenting the current crisis. “To solve the problem and have a lasting solution to the crisis, I dare say say that management or any of the parties involved cannot find a lasting solution to this crisis. Management on its own cannot solve the crisis. You cannot be a judge on your own case, you will be biased. In this case, I am advising the governor of Lagos State set up a panel to look at the issues in LASU holistically and find an enduring solution to the problem. Let the panel include representative of the student union, management, staff union and some eminent academic and look into the problem and find a lasting solution.”

Couple murdered by unknown assailants in Benue HENRY IYORKASE MAKURDI

arely 24 hours after unknown gunmen had snuffed life out of second republic politician, Hon. Atodza Ihindan, in Katsina Ala, Benue State, a similar gruesome murder has again claimed the lives of a yet to be identified couple in the area.

The murder of the couple took place in the heart of the township at their residence when the suspected gunmen invaded their home and murdered them in cold blood.

Sources who witnessed the scene disclosed to Sunday Mirror that the corpses of the deceased were taken by sympathisers to an undisclosed hospital in the local government area in the state. Confirming the fresh killing, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hyacinth Dagala, said a couple was gunned down by unknown assailants while two suspects have been apprehended in connection with the earlier attacks that took place a forthright ago.

He said that men of the command will stop at nothing towards ensuring that the perpetrators are fished out and made to pay for the heinous crimes committed by them. He however reminded that whoever involved will not be spared the sledge hammer of the law no matter whose ox is gore the

law is not a respecter of any person and insisting that the law must take its course. Meanwhile, former Lagos police Commissioner Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to come to the rescue of the citizens of the state by drafting security operatives to boost

security operations in the state. He maintained that Boko Haram on the onset started on a gradual scale and blew up to alarming proportion where it is today and warned that the situation in Benue is gradually heading towards another potentially huge insecurity problem if not

curtailed. Tsav averred that the chief security to Governor Ortom, Col. Edwin Jando is from Ukum /KatsinaAla axis and held the same portfolio during the regime of former Governor George Akume when insecurity heightened to a peak in almost every segment of the state.

Adamawa floats N500m SME fund LIVINUS MENEDI YOLA

he Adamawa State Government has rolled out a N500 million naira Small and Medium Scale micro credit scheme with funds to be disbursed through traditional institutions in the state. The Adamawa state Governor, Muhammadu Jibrilla Bindow, who disclosed the nature of empowerment scheme meant to support unemployed youths in the state, when traditional rulers in the state led by Lamido Adamawa HRH Dr. Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Mustapha paid him the Sallah homage, said the funds from scheme would be disbursed through traditional apparatus with the royal fathers standing as surety for benefitting youths in their localities. The royal fathers, who pledged their support for the new administration, were also called upon to use their institutional structures to support the government effort in securing the state by sharing information gathered from their communities, to help tackle insurgency, and other criminal activities in the state. Bindow explained that the empowerment programme was conceived to empower youths in the state, adding that it deviates from previous welfare scheme that was used as a tool for political patronage. The conditional grants to be disbursed to youth groups ranged from credits of between N30,000 to N50,000, Bindow said, adding that it would only be given to youths in the state who needed it for enterprise. He further noted that the activities of insurgents have continued to thrive partly because traditional rulers have been side-lined in the fight against their activities.

According to him, “If the traditional rulers were adequately carried along, they would have helped in the fight against crimes and insurgency and help find a lasting solution to their activities. “We will not work without traditional rulers, despite the facts that traditional institutions were neglected in the constitution. “At least 40 persons from each ward will be beneficiaries of credits ranging between N30,000 to N50,000 and they will be scrutinised from ward to district heads. “Our ward, village and district heads are perhaps the only people who can vouch for those who would benefit from this scheme just as they can also help to apprehend any person with questionable character,” Bindow said. In their separate remarks, the Lamido Adamawa Dr Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Mustafa, Emir of Mubi Alh.Abubakar Isa Ahmadu, Murum Mbula Chief Jerome Joel Fwa and the Hama Bachama, Col. Honest Irmiya, all lauded the government’s gesture in empowering the youths and ensuring peaceful coexistence, promised to support the initiative. Lamido Barkindo in his Sallah message thanked Allah for a peaceful Sallah celebration in the state and said the traditional institution will give the administration every backing it would need to succeed in its bid to develop the state. As part of activities to mark the Eid- el Fitri celebrations the wife of Governor Maryam Jibrilla Bindow threw a lavish party for internally displaced persons at one of the camp settlement located at Malkwoi. She said the gesture was meant to uplift the spirit of the IDPs and give them a sense of hope. “

Terrorism: UNODC trains 640 experts on anti –terrorism SEBASTINE EBHUOMHAN

he United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, UNODC, has trained 640 Nigerians in different aspects of antiterrorism intervention to boost the national response to terrorism and multi-dimensional security threats in the country.

Drawn from 33 organisations, beneficiaries of the training will serve as in-country counter-terrorism national officials, according to information exclusively released on Saturday by a UNODC spokesman in Nigeria, Mr. James Ayodele. The training was conducted over a 20-month period, with funds provided by the European Union under the framework of the Nigeria-EU-UNODC-CTED Partnership on Strengthening Criminal Justice Responses for Multidimensional Security. Trainees and beneficiaries included investigators, prosecutors; legal advisers of relevant government agencies, law enforcement agencies, and judges of the Federal High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court.

Speaking at a stakeholders’ roundtable organised in Abuja to disseminate and discuss achievements of the project, Head of Political Governance and Democracy (Development Cooperation) at the EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr. Alan Munday, said the knowledge gained from the training was significant and very important. “The training has delivered a core of better trained and better aware Nigerian officials dealing with counter-terrorism in different ways and at different levels. We hope that the program has helped to strengthen the ability not only to counter terrorism but to also deal with perpetrators of the terrorism act,” he said. UNODC is actively involved in the fight against terrorism globally and provides capacity building programs that are adapted to local needs. The counter-terrorism project in Nigeria aims to enhance criminal justice capacity for effective rule-of-law-based investigation, prosecution, and adjudication of terror-

ist cases; promote interagency collaboration on counter-terrorism matters, enhance the national legal regime against terrorism, strengthen international cooperation against terrorism and ensure respect for human rights. The project featured 24 training sessions with practical lessons, roleplays, mentoring, and experience-sharing by counter-terrorism professionals from different parts of the world. “The capacity building program has been focused on practical issues relevant to the challenges that Nigeria is facing right now. We’re making sure that the technical assistance is specific and tailored to the needs of Nigeria,” said Mr. Trevor Rajah, Chief of Terrorism Prevention Branch at UNODC headquarters. “UNODC is pleased to serve an important role of building capacity to bring terrorists to justice. The project has been successful and we hope that it will help in taking the fight against terrorism further,” said Mr. Koli Kouame, UNODC Nigeria Country Representative. Secretary of the Na-

tional Planning Commission, Mr. Bassey Akpanyung, delivered opening remarks at the roundtable. Other high level representatives of 21 Nigerian entities participated in the roundtable. These included representatives of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, Federal Ministry of Justice, Nigerian Police Force, Department of State Security Services, Office of the National Security Advisor, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nigerian Institute for Advanced Legal Studies, Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigeria Customs Service, Nigeria Prisons Service, Nigeria Securities and Civil Defense Corps, embassies, and the National Judicial Institute. Participants in the roundtable discussed achievements and lessons learned from the project and agreed on priority issues for technical assistance, helping to ensure that the next phase of UNODC’s technical assistance program will be developed with the full input, support and ownership of the Nigerian national stakeholders.

FirstNation Airways blames FAAN for aircraft incident OLUSEGUN KOIKI

he management of the FirstNation Airways whose two aircraft had an incident at the apron wing of the Murtala Mohammed Airport Two, MMA2, Lagos on Friday has blamed the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, for the incident. FirstNation insisted that the incident was avoidable if the marshaller that handled the aircraft had carried out its job diligently as expected from him, saying that he marshallers were

not well trained. But, the spokesman of FAAN, Mr. Yakubu Dati in a phone conversation with our correspondent said that the agency would not make any comment until the Accident Investigation Bureau, AIB, came out with its investigation. He also said that anyone making quick comment as a result of any incident or accident before the report was either doing so as a result of incompetence or ignorance. He said, “Whenever there is such an incident, only AIB is saddled with the responsibility of investigat-

ing it. Until then, anyone doing so is either doing that as a result of incompetence or ignorance. As a professional, we are awaiting the outcome of the investigation of the bureau.” An emailed statement signed by the spokesman of the airline, Mr. Rasheed Yusuff, insisted that if the marshaller had avoided marshaling the aircraft wrongly, the incident would not have occurred. Yasuff urged FAAN to retrain the marshallers properly in order to carry out their duties professionals. He stated that the com-

pany understood that the marshallers at MMA2 were deployed by FAAN under a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, with Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, the operator of MMA2. The statement however reiterated that at no time was the safety of the air passengers in the aircraft at risk as claimed by some reports. He said, “This incident is avoidable if the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria marshallers had been diligent to avoid marshalling the aircraft wrongly. “We urge FAAN to re-

train the marshallers as we understand that the marshallers at MMA2 are deployed by FAAN under an MOU with Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, the operator of MMA2, Ikeja. It is important to emphasise that at no time was the safety of passengers at risk.” The airline also charged the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, to enhance oversight of the marshallers and their authorisation to arrest the growing incidents of aircraft damage on ground in Nigeria, which he described as embarrassing. He decried that several

airlines including FirstNation had suffered huge losses as a result of avoidable ground incidents in the past, recalling that a similar incident involving Emirate aircraft occurred about two weeks ago from the same airport. He added that the regulatory authority, NCAA, had been informed of the incident while the aircraft had been assessed and repairs was ongoing to ensure that it returned to service in strict compliance with the highest safety standard in accordance with industry best practices.

Kaduna senator asks new NSA to retain proposed army barracks A ZA MSUE KADUNA

he Senator representing Kaduna South Senatorial zone, Senator Danjuma La’ah, has pleaded with new National Security Adviser, NSA, Major-General Babagana Monguno,rtd, not to scrap the proposed new army barrack in the trouble Southern Kaduna. La’ah, who spoke with journalists in Kaduna, said the approval of new army formation in the zone was granted by the Federal Government, as confirmed by the immediate past NSA, Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd). Senator La’ah while welcoming the new NSA on board said the former NSA had packaged a robust security arrangement for the zone, and urged the incoming NSA, and the new Service Chiefs to build on his plans for Southern Kaduna. La’ah said: “I was with the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, rtd, in his office in Abuja last week. I had gone to see him over the nagging security problems of Southern Kaduna. It was there that he told me that they had discussed the security problem of Southern Kaduna with his Service Chiefs. He said that the Federal government has agreed that an Army Barrack would be built there so that there can be fast intervention in the case of an attack “He is aware of the huge loss of lives, thousands of displaced persons and destruction of some entire communities in Southern Kaduna since unknown gunmen started invading

our areas after 2011. La’ah said further: “Dasuki said that the only problem was the site and the matter of enough land are, and funds. He also talked about shortage of personnel as a result of the ongoing war against terror in the North East. After discussing further, he said that I should meet with our governor, Malam Nasir ElRufai and discuss further on the area to site the barrack, after which we should reach back to stakeholders from the area before returning to him with our conclusions. He said it was possible to get the barracks within a short time, given some of the contributions that some of us are willing to give. “Because I told him that I was willing to build a block of quarters or the administrative wing of the barracks among other things. And I believe that many people will be willing to make all kinds of donations. To my surprise, Dasuki was removed. “I wish to use this opportunity to plead with new NSA, Major-General Babagana Monguno (rtd.) and his new Service Chiefs not scrap the planned building of the Army Barracks in Southern Kaduna. I want to also assure him of the commitment of Southern Kaduna to giving full cooperation to the military and other security agencies in areas towards curbing the menace of violence that is eating up my zone. It is my fervent wish also that new NSA will retain the cordial working relationship that I had with the former NSA.”La’ah said.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mamman Tsafe and other dignitaries at the roundtable presenting the training manual on human rights for the Nigeria Police Force, recently.

Nigeria should make US biggest foreign partner, says rep TORDUE SALEM ABUJA

member of the House of Representatives, Hon. E.J. Agbonayinma, has advised that President Buhari should seek stronger ties with the United States than the Republic of China and other countries if the country could pull up fast from the doldrums. The lawmaker, who is representing Egor/

Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency of Edo State and holds dual US-Nigeria citizenship, also disclosed that he initiated the idea for an existing Congressional Nigerian Caucus in the United States’ House of Representatives a few years ago. He said the Congressional Caucus, which was facilitated with the assistance of US Rep Sheila Jackson Lee and former Rep. Steve Stockman would

consistently push for the interest of the country in US parliament if proper ties were made with it by the Buhari government. “To get our interests protected in short and longterm basis in the US, the President must meet the Congressional Nigerian Caucus on that trip”, the lawmaker advised. He said President Buhari’s visit will establish a long-term and more beneficial relationship with the

country, if it established ties with the Nigerian Congressional Caucus. Agbonayinma, advised that for a rapid solution to the myriad problems Nigeria was facing, the country needed to strengthen its ties with the United States and make it a number one partner for trade and development. “Nigeria will benefit more with stronger ties with the United States, instead of the Republic of China”, he advised.

Emulate spirit of Ramadan, NPC boss enjoins Muslims ADEOLA TUKURU ABUJA

hairman of the National Population Commission, NPC, Chief Eze Duruiheoma, has enjoined Muslims in Nigeria to continue to emulate the spirit of peaceful coexistence, self-

lessness and devotion to God. The Director, Public Affairs, NPC, Mr. Simon Otene, in a press statement commended the rare display of diligence and steadfastness exhibited by Muslims in praying for the peace and progress of the country during the holy month.

According to him, Nigeria is at a critical juncture in its existence being confronted with challenges of conflict and insurgency in the North East and dwindling economic fortune due to the fall in the oil prices, so there is no other time Nigeria needs divine intervention than now.

He enjoined Muslims and adherents of other religions not to relent in their prayers for the nation and continue to imbibe the spirit of selflessness, sacrifice, good neighbourliness, peaceful coexistence and faithfulness which Ramadan symbolizes.

tephen Keshi might have had and exhibited his own off-the-pitch weaknesses- he is corky, stubborn, overconfident, arrogant or puffy- but he remains Nigeria’s best coach ever. The records show this and posterity will hang medals around his neck for years to come. He failed to qualify the Super Eagles for a second straight AfCON and that is all his old fans remember and the very fact that suddenly earned him a legion of enemies. Keshi just ended Nigeria’s legionary failures on the continent as well as its 19-year gold drought by winning the Cup of Nations in 2013. The last time the country saw the coveted trophy aloft was 1994! In the same year, he qualified Nigeria for two important competitions, namely, its first ever CHAN and the World Cup. In 2014, Nigeria’s CHAN outing with all home-based players was successful. The boys emerged as the third best on the continent. Their spectacular quarter-final game against South Africa, the host, cannot be easily forgotten. Even the South Africans celebrated that television-friendly show against them. They had put up such reaction earlier when Keshi led his predominantly home-based players to Durban where he won the Nelson Mandela invitational in 2013. Months later, in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the country under Keshi broke a 15-year jinx of First Round ouster and progressed to the elite stage of knockout stages. Even while it was feared that the coach had taken tired legs to the World Cup, the performance was still modest. The last time Nigeria, with all the overhyped and

hen I set out last week to do the piece on motorists and the new drivers licence , the intention was not to blow the trumpet of the Federal Road Safety Commission but rather to allow public perception be the judge on our service delivery. It was therefore exciting when one of my readers, fired back by saying that while these services look good in the Federal Capital Territory, as confessed by most of the applicants, the reverse was the case in other parts of the Country. According to Chidi Michael, from Umuahia, the Abia State Capital, “the public view about your services in Sunday Sun of July 12, is peculiar to Abuja. Please extend same to your offices nationwide .Also consider making the temporary license between 4 to 6 months since it is obvious that the permanent one cannot be ready within two months that the temporary one allows. All those issued temporary at Umuahia , always return for renewal of the temporary as the permanent one is never ready’’.

Did Keshi deserve our crucifixion? overpaid European quack coaches, progressed beyond the preliminaries, was 1998. It had been a string of failures and losses until Keshi, a homeboy or local coach as they call it, came to the rescue. Keshi became a legend in Africa, having won the African Cup as both a player and a coach. It is a rare feat or occurrence anywhere in the world. Where it happens, such coaches are classed and treated as heroes forever. So many coaches who had played and won trophies for their countries before always work extra hard to join the elite class of winner as coach. Klinsmann, Maradona, Dunga, Bilardo, etc., have tried to hit this record either at the continental or global level; but only very few of them have succeeded at it. Keshi is one of the few and he and a former Egyptian coach alone hold that record in Africa. But Keshi was also very cantankerous and edgy. He was always in the news for the wrong reasons. Even while still prosecuting the AfCON in 2013, it was already being speculated that he had resigned. He did not come out to deny the claim and only gave an insight after the tournament when he said some persons in the NFF actually programmed him to fail. He did not really shock the whole country though when he said this, because it is a tradition in the Glass House. Keshi’s resignation was soon reversed and one thought this would be the end to all the hullaballoo about the coach. But alas, no! It was soon discussed in many quarters that Keshi was a very pompous man and that since his winning AfCON he had scorned the press and acted very arrogantly towards his employers, including those who had planned his exit. Before the World Cup, Keshi was said to have rejected NFF’s imposition of players, including Okechukwu Uche and Osaze Odemwengie. Keshi had also allegedly called the bluff of the soccer house and media by repeatedly inviting secondrate players from lowly rated and valueless European club sides. He had also left out key players of his AfCON 2013 team, which angered not only

the players but also many of his fans. Keshi seemed to be in the world of his own, untouchable and immovable, particularly as he enjoyed a cult following, having won the AfCON. Aside Westerhoff, his old boss, Keshi was probably the most controversial of Nigeria’s national team coaches. He was, for two years, solidly unshaken. Like Westerhoff, he also understood the politics of Nigerian football- you must use the goodwill with the Federal Government arising from your successes to entrench yourself in office and damn your immediate bosses. Naturally, no employer or management ever likes it when you are connected to the powers-that-be and are practically shielded from their decisions. Keshi was sacked in the course of the string of losses in the build-up to AfCON 2015, but was reinstated when the presidency allegedly waded in and commanded that the decision be reversed. After the government intervention and after the eventual ouster of Nigeria from the AfCON 2015, the Big Boss diminished in popular support. His foes and followers suddenly began to “see” and cite technical deficiency, inamenability and insensitivity to demands and expectations of Nigerians in assemblage of players as Keshi’s problems that should warrant his sack. But after months of stalemate and coach-lessness of the Super Eagles, with the NFF watching their sidelines to be sure they were not running foul of the rules in the political field in which Keshi had become a master, a new coach was unveiled and that coach was Keshi. This would not last as Keshi was going to fry himself in the hot pan by secretly hobnobbing with the Ivorian FA for the job of the Elephants’ coach. Surprisingly, the NFF too had been secretly hobnobbing with Keshi’s former friend and teammate-turned rival, Sunday Oliseh, for a definite takeover of the Eagles’ manager job. While the NFF had been cooking the oil in the frying pan, Keshi simply hit both feet on the stone and fell into it, getting fried. It is sad how the tide turned against an obvious hero. Keshi’s “weaknesses” were probably a

reaction to the kind of environment in which he operated. He was not wished well by his employers and yet needed the job and focus. This must have informed his using the AfCON gold and other successes he had earned to consolidate his position. But should it not be shocking that a hero is treated like a villain? Where was national interest in the case of soccer administrators seeking Nigeria’s failure because they hated Keshi? Again, Keshi’s “negative” reaction to the media and pedestrian soccer fans was probably because playing to the gallery by previous coaches was the very factor in their inability to achieve much and make the country proud. Indeed, the Nigerian media can confuse and derail coaches. We know too much on paper and when the coach fails, we are the first to “finish” him. What the media termed as arrogance and pomposity were probably Keshi’s shields to avoid distraction. The AfCON 2015 ouster must be put in perspective at this juncture- in the heat of the NFF power crisis, the senior national team was practically coachless as there was no one in the Glass House to determine renewal or otherwise of Keshi’s contract that ended after the 2014 World Cup. Keshi, unpaid, was merely doing an ad-hoc sacrificial job and could only come few days to a crucial match. In the case of the first build-up match against Congo, Keshi came three days to the match, and the Eagles lost. Today, Keshi is blamed by all for the AfCON 2015 no-show. But the last match Keshi played before his disengagement, he won, as a full-time in-contract coach. It is thus clear that Keshi was not a failure nor were his successes a fluke. We all might have misunderstood and misjudged him. Like it or not, bring in Oliseh or Siasia or Eguavoen, no records have so far matched Keshi’s.

ECA, World Bank and FRSC (1) phone call to clear the backlog even though it is not our responsibility to do so. As I write, the same measure is being extended to other parts of the country, while the other processes are being fine-tuned to serve the public better. The result is that unlike the perception of my friend from Umuahia, permanent license are being processed quicker than ever before although there is the need to tidy up the collection process and other issues that might arise. But while the FRSC ponders over areas that needs rejigging, I must say that I am an apostle of balanced criticisms and so I believe that we at least deserve some kudos in areas where we are striving to get it right, and knocks where we fail. This is why the news filtering from Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian Capital, excites me although there are still plenty room to improve. The fact sheet starring us in the face says that each year, nearly 1.3 million people die as a result of a road traffic collision - more than 3,000 deaths each day. 91% of these road traffic deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries such as Nigeria. Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of deaths among young people aged between 15-29 years. The relief is that these deaths and injuries can be prevented through immediate and concrete action. The year 2015, is therefore a crucial year for road safety because of the mid-term review of the United Nations Decade of Action for road safety (2011-2020) to ascertain where we are and how effective we have been; how high we have kept Road Safety as a priority, through concrete and measurable implementation, the importance of monitoring and evaluation and the quality of data available . It was with this in mind that more than 20 African governments met during the 3rd African Road Safety Conference in Addis Ababa, to

review progress made thus far in meeting the goal of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety. The meeting also received a report from the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) on the status of efforts across the continent to implement the UN Global Plan for the Decade of Action. Sadly, the UNECA review found a widely divergent range of performance and in particular a lack of institutional capacity to tackle Africa’s road traffic injury problems. However, the same review singled out Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, as the “top three performers among 23 countries” in accomplishing the activities of the African Road Safety Action Plan. Although progress is being made, performance of the Plan based on five pillars (road safety management; mobility; vehicles; road users; and post-crash response) has been varying with some countries performing well in some pillars but failing in others. The report noted that around 40% of countries are in the process of implementing more road safety management activities while more than 30% have not taken significant action to harmonize data formats and use international standards in reporting. As a result of this lacuna in performance and ability, Mr Stephen Karingi, Director of Regional Trade and Integration at UNECA, encouraged conference participants to “be pragmatic in proposing a road map for action.”The conference brought together African governments and NGOs, together with the African Union, the World Health Organization, the World Bank Global Road Safety Facility, the World Bank’s Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Programme (SSATP), the New Economic Partnership for Africa (NEPAD), the African Development Bank, the UN Economic Commission for Europe and non-governmental organisa-

tions including the Global Road Safety Partnership, the International Road Federation, the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP), Amend, South Africans against Drink -Driving (SADD) and the FIA Foundation. The meeting was addressed by Ethiopia’s Minister of Transport and, via video, by the new UN Special Envoy for Road Safety Jean Todt. Key issues on the agenda included data management, regional catalytic funding for road safety, road infrastructure safety and efforts to tackle drink-driving. Improving road safety in Africa’s cities was the theme of a presentation by the FIA Foundation’s director, Saul Billingsley. Highlighting the work plan of the African Sustainable Transport Forum and citing a new report by the African Progress Panel, he argued that a projected doubling in the population of many African cites, combined with a youth demographic bulge and increased motorization made safe and sustainable transport a priority for Africa’s policymakers. Saul Billingsley also updated delegates on the latest road safety targets and encouraged African countries and organizations to support the #SaveKidsLives campaign ahead of the Brasilia Ministerial. Saul Billingsley said: “The commitment to road safety of the government representatives present at this conference is impressive, the efforts on the ground as reported by UNECA less so. African countries are grappling with many social, health and economic issues so it is understandable that road traffic injury prevention is not yet a priority for many. Continued next week

Bad breath: Causes and prevention

TITILOPE MORAKINYO

ad breath is not just a physical problem; it’s also an incredibly-embarrassing social burden too. In fact, it’s probably one of the most embarrassing problems anyone can suffer from because, when you suffer from bad breath, you make other people feel physically sick. It is a common problem that can affect anyone at any age while about one in four people are thought to have bad breath (halitosis) on a regular basis. It can be discomforting when one find out that people always move away from when you come close to talk to them. At first, one may not understand the reason because a lot of people may not have the audacity to explicate that one’s breath smells unless they happen to be a close relatives or best of friends. A major problem for those who suffer it, as it breeds loss of assurance and personality for the person who has a bad breath. It is truly the cause of anguish to those who have this medical condition. Just as the name implies, bad breath comes from the mouth with an offensive and unpleasant odour. It is medically known as halitosis. It can occur from time to time, or it can be long lasting, depending on the cause of the medical condition.

Research shows that certain foods, health conditions and habits are among the causes of bad breath, while in many cases, one can improve with proper dental hygiene. And when simple care techniques don’t solve the problem, one may want to see the dentist to be sure a more serious condition is not causing the bad health. According to experts, an estimated 65 per cent of adult population have bad breath and over forty-million have chronic halitosis, which is persistent bad breath. While 90 per cent of bad breath, is of oral, not systemic or origin. While speaking with Sunday Mirror, Dr. Tayo Amorokun, a dentist at the Extreme Dental Clinic, Isolo,Lagos,said, “bad breath can result from poor dental health problems. According to him,bad breath is caused by a variety of factors. In most cases, it is caused by food remaining in the mouth - on the teeth, tongue, gums, and other structures, collecting bacteria” ,he stated . “Dead and dying bacterial cells release a sulfur compound that gives the breath an unpleasant odour. Certain foods, such as garlic and onions, contribute to breath odour. Once the food is absorbed into the bloodstream, it is transferred to the lungs, where it is exhaled. Brushing, flossing and mouthwash only mask the odour. Dieters sometimes develop unpleasant breath from fasting. Periodontal (gum) disease often causes persistent bad

20 Million Nigerians infected with Hepatitis Virus – FG About 20 million Nigerians are infected with the Hepatitis B and C virus in Nigeria, Community Health physician, Dr Chukwuma Anyaike said. Dr Anyaike, who is the Head Prevention, Department of Public Health at the Federal Ministry of Health stated this at a one-day stakeholders’ advocacy workshop on Viral Hepatitis awareness organised by the Yakubu Gowon Foundation in Abuja. He said: “Viral Hepatitis is a very big public health issue in Nigeria. By the work Federal Ministry of Health has done,

we have 20 million Nigerians living with Hepatitis B and C and they are at the risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver and cancer of the liver. Most importantly, these ones are living in the communities and they are not aware of it and in the same process, they are transferring the infection to other people in the community.” Chairman of the occasion, General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd) said Nigeria should consider the spread of the virus a national emergency, “seeing that the prevalence rate of this disease is about double the na-

tional HIV prevalence rate. The nation and the world should take note.” He further explained that approximately 20 million of Nigeria’s 170 million population that are infected by the virus, 25 percent of them go on to develop chronic liver disease and between 500,000 to 700,000 result in deaths annually. From the survey, Kano has the highest number of people infected with the B variant of the virus while Kwara state has the highest number of people with Hepatitis C.

breath or a bad taste in the mouth, and persistent bad breath may mean a sign that you have gum disease. Gum disease is caused by plaque - the sticky, often colourless, film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. Dry mouth or xerostomia may also cause bad breath due to decreased salivary flow. Saliva cleans your mouth and removes particles that may cause odour. Likewise Tobacco products causes’ bad breath, stain teeth, reduces your ability to taste foods and irritate your gum tissues”. he explained He, however, said that bad breath may also be a sign that one has a serious health problem, such as a respiratory tract infection, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney ailment. It may also be caused by medications, including central nervous system agents, anti-Parkinson drugs, antihistamines/decongestants, anti-psychotics, anti-cholinergic, narcotics, anti-hypertensives, and anti-depressants. The dentist warns that it is important that people come for regular check ups, at least twice a year to prevent dental problems and bad breath that comes from it. On the treatment he said, “Daily brushing and regular professional cleaning, will take care of unpleasant breath. Also, people often overlook the tongue as a culprit for bad breath. Bacterial plaque and food debris also can accumulate on the back of the tongue. The tongue’s surface is extremely rough and bacteria can accumulate easily in the cracks and crevices”. According to him,“Controlling periodontal disease and maintaining good oral health helps to reduce bad breath. If you have constant bad breath, make a list of the foods you eat and any medications you take. Some medications may contribute to bad breath. Improperly cleaned dentures can also harbor odour-causing bacteria and food particles. If you wear removable dentures, take them out at night and clean them thoroughly before replacing them.” He warned however that mouthwashes are generally ineffective on bad breath. If your bad breath persists even after good oral hygiene, there are special products your dentist may prescribe, including Zytex, which is a combination of zinc chloride, thymol and eucalyptus oil that neutralizes the sulfur compounds and kills the bacteria that causes them. In addition, a special antimicrobial mouth rinse may be prescribed” he added.

FG unveils Pain Free Hospital Initiatives The Federal Ministry of Health in partnership with American Cancer Society has unveiled the Pain-Free Hospital Initiative in four pilot federal tertiary health facilities. The Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Linus Awute, who launched the project in Abuja on Thursday, said the project would improve access to essential pain medicines in Nigeria. Awute said the initiative was a one-year hospital-wide quality improvement intervention to integrate pain treatment into service delivery by pro-

viding education for patients and staff, raising motivation, awareness and documenting pain levels. “It will equip staff to assess pain and provide high quality first line treatment,” Awute said. He said the initiative targets large national referral and teaching hospitals to provide simple accessible training for physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other health care providers. According to him, the four hospitals selected for the pilot projects are University of Ilorin

Teaching Hospital, University College Ibadan, University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu and the National Hospital Abuja. “It is envisioned that the one-year pilot project will further refine the design of the project model for effective replication in other federal tertiary health facilities across the country,” he said. Awute said that in 2012, no fewer than 177, 000 people were estimated to have died in moderate or severe pains from HIV or cancer.

Challenge before the new service chiefs

ast Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari sacked the nation’s service chiefs and appointed new ones; he also appointed a new National Security Adviser. The development saw Major General Babagana Monguno (retd) replacing Colonel Sambo Dasuki (retd) as the new National Security Adviser and Major General Abayomi Gabriel Olonishakin taking over from Air Chief Marshal Badeh, as Chief of Defence Staff. Major General Tukur Yusuf Buratai replaced Lt. General Kenneth Minimah as Chief of Army Staff, with Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, displacing Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin, as Chief of Naval Staff. The new Chief of Air Staff is Air Vice Marshal Sadique Abubakar; he replaced Air Vice Marshal Adesola Amosu, while Air Vice Marshal Monday Riku Morgan, becomes the Chief of Defence Intelligence. All the appointments would become substantive after confirmation by the Senate. Ordinarily, the development might appear a routine exercise by a new administration desirous of making a difference in the way things are done by assembling its own military eggheads to both win the support and confidence of the governed. However, this newspaper considers the effected changes very strategic to the counter-insurgency template of the Buhari administration and other security challenges the nation is facing, especially the incessant oil theft in the Niger Delta region that has left the economy seriously hemorrhaging. It will amount to denial to say that the momentum of success that saw the African Union-backed Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) progressively decimating the Boko Haram insurgency machine to the extent that the insurgents were forced out of the Sambisia Forest and the swathe of territories they had held in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states, in the last six weeks to the recent general elections still exists. The painful truth is that the nation experienced a troubling relapse after the Dr. Goodluck Jonathan administration was replaced by that of Buhari last May.

That the insurgents have become more intrepid and retaken the initiative from our military under the charge of the disengaged service chiefs, is shown in the reverses suffered by the country in the first 53 days of the Buhari administration, when close to 700 deaths from the lethal weapons of Boko Haram have been recorded. Penultimate Friday, the sect reportedly killed 43 people in Kalwa, Misala and Gwollam villages in Monguno Local Government Area of Borno State. Other deadly strikes carried out by them included the killing on July 7, of 25 people in Zaria, Kaduna

SO, IT IS UNNECESSARY REITERATING THE FACT THE NEW MILITARY CHIEFS MUST HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR CHEAP TALK; ACTION IS WHAT IS NEEDED IF VICTORY AGAINST BOKO HARAM MUST BE ASSURED. THE NEW RESOLVE MUST BEGIN WITH CARRYING OUT

PRESIDENT BUHARI’S INAUGURAL DIRECTIVE THAT THE MILITARY HIGH COMMAND BE MOVED TO

MAIDUGURI, THE EPICENTRE OF THE INSURGENTS’ RUTHLESS ACTIVITIES, WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY. State, a development that capped a week of horror in which close to 300 people had died in separate attacks in Jos, Plateau State, Kano and Potiskum, Yobe State. The string of recent reverses was an indication that the old service chiefs had become clueless on the most effective counter-insurgency measures needed to cage the merchants of death in the country, so a change has thus become inevitable. So, it is unnecessary reiterating the fact the new military chiefs must hit the ground running. This is not the time for cheap talk; action is what is needed if victory against Boko Haram must be assured. The new resolve must begin

with carrying out President Buhari’s inaugural directive that the military high command be moved to Maiduguri, the epicentre of the insurgents’ ruthless activities, without further delay. One sour point underscoring the complacency of our military is the incessant crude oil theft in the Niger Delta region. The last administration merely paid lip service to a monumental challenge with devastating socio-economic consequences for the country. The ramifications of this challenge were poignantly pointed out in 2013 by the London-based research group, Chatham House with this pathetic scenario: “Oil is being stolen on an ‘industrial scale’ in Nigeria, the world’s 13th largest producer, and the country’s politicians and security officials are among those profiting…” The group went further by stating that an estimated average of 100,000 barrels were stolen daily; and using the exchange rate of that time, Nigeria suffered an annual loss of $3.65 billion. We call on the new service chiefs to key into the change vision of the Buhari administration. With the near monocultural nature of the Nigerian economy and given its current parlous state, a challenge graphically painted by the insolvency of some states of the federation, and to some extent even the Federal Government, the war against oil theft demands absolute commitment from the military and the nation’s other security agencies. Self aggrandisement and opportunistic exploitation of positions and power are among the nation’s known social vices, the new service chiefs must show courage, discipline and exemplary leadership to overcome these vices. Currently, the military suffers from image problem. Amnesty International has consistently accused it of gross human rights abuses bordering on extra-judicial killings. It is not enough for the military hierarchy to deny the allegations; some mechanisms must be put in place to clean up the soiled image. And more importantly, the new service chiefs must work on the low morale within the fighting soldiers in the North East region.

ODINAKA URUAKPA

he Methodist Bishop of Remo Diocese, Ogun State, Bishop Michael Akinwale has asserted that the gift of the Bible, which contains the word of God is the key to prosperity, amazing grace, perfect joy, abundant and a struggle free life.

Akinwale, who represented the Prelate, Methodist Church, Nigeria, Dr. Samuel K. Uche made this assertion at the 11th annual luncheon and awards of the Special Members Forum of the Bible Society of Nigeria asserted that the BSN in making the Bible available to Nigerians in their indigenous languages, have given the people a gift that would bring them all the good things of life. “When you give someone the Bible, you have given life to the person; in fact, it is the key to prosperity, amazing grace, perfect joy, abundant life and a struggle free life; the gift of the Bible is for all things. God is always seeking men and women in every race and generation that He uses as vessels to bring His word to the people. He (God) prepares His vessels ahead of time because He is a God of order and purpose; he is the best manager of human and material resources and plans things to suit His purpose”, he explained. He noted that God prepared John the Baptist to be the fore-runner of Jesus Christ adding that the vessel that God uses; He keeps at the background as he bestows His grace upon them.

“When God is building an individual for His purpose, He gives an extra-ordinary grace like the strength of David and the wisdom He bestowed on Solomon. To these, He revealed inner secrets and mysteries and for this reason, they became exceptional people”, he said. Also speaking on the occasion, Dr. Christopher Kolade, former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and award recipient, commended the BSN and thanked the society for finding him worthy to honour him with the award. “I thank the Lord that this honour is coming at this time. The Lord told me that as I pass through this world, he would permit me to be in certain positions and receive titles, but all this titles are given by human beings. The scripture tells me that I would be given the title to become the child of God. Any title

human being gives you, they have a way of taking, but the title of child of God cannot be taken from you”, he said. The octogenarian urged Christians to possess the word of God and meditate on it always because the promise of God is sure, as it is sacred and sufficient for in all situations. In his address read on the occasion, the executive governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, commended the Bible Society of Nigeria and the Special Members Forum for a job well done as they honour members of the society who in one way or the other have contributed to the course of humanity. He acknowledged the effort of the society in making the word of God available as he prayed that in bringing God’s word to people, it would end up instilling the fear of God in the generality of the people and ultimately expel ungodly acts in them. While felicitating with the awardees, the governor urged Christians to donate to the cause of the society so as to enable the Word circulate to all nooks and crannies of the nation as well as aim to live a legacy for generations to come. The event with the theme “Building for the Master’s use” and also geared at raising N150m for a translation centre/regional warehouse, also had in attendance the National President/Board Chairman of BSN, Aaron Nuhu, General Secretary, Dare Adeboye, Chairman of the occasion and Chairman, Skye bank Plc, Bar.

Fundamentals of supernatural breakthrough Miracle Arena with Bishop

Theo Ugochukwu

or whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate… Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. {Rom.8:29-30} You are welcomed to another edition of our weekly article, through which the Almighty God is doing great things. God, who knows the end from the beginning, has ordained the events of your life before you and I were born. In our previous article, we discussed on the topic I titled “Repositioning for Greater Glory”. I made us to understand that for your glory to manifest, you need to be at a place, a location where you will be identified and your vision in life nurtured for manifestation. Some people find themselves in places where their inborn values and talents are not identified, while others with enviable traits and vision find themselves in the wrong location where their potential traits cannot be harnessed. Your vision in life is determined by God’s plan for you. Vision is about accessing God’s divine plan for your life because every child of God is entitled to the plan of God. Where there is no access to the plan of God, the struggles of life continue. Vision is not limited to a call to the ministry. Abraham and Isaac were neither ministers nor priests; but God showed them His plan for their lives. As I said last week, your mission on earth is the opening up of your own assignment on earth. Abraham was a businessman and he was a friend of God {Gen.18:17}. You can be a businessman/woman and still maintain a high spiritual status. Abraham was a highly spiritual man, and by operating the plan of God, he became very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold {Gen.13:2}. Isaac was also a businessman, and sud-

denly God showed up and he gained access to the plan of God for his life {Gen. 26:2}. When Isaac saw the land where God asked him to dwell in, he became great and the Philistines envied him {Gen.26:13-14}. Job also traded only divine secrets to emerge the greatest of his time {Job 29:4}. Whether you are in business or in government, as long as you are in God’s plan, your breakthrough is unstoppable. Now, let us discuss in details the following fundamentals of supernatural breakthroughs. 1. Your breakthrough in life is tied to a defined task. This means that your destiny is tied to your task {Psalms 100:3}. We are products from God’s factory, and we are so defined in that production that the Psalmist said … “I am fearfully and wonderfully made {Ps.139:14}. We are intricate products packaged for special functions {Jer. 1:5}. So, your breakthrough is tied to your task. Until your own task is discovered, your breakthrough is not in view. Just as we noted in our previous article that one’s glory is tied to his or her talent and what he/ she can offer to the world. When you are in pursuit of your own assignment, God goes with you, before your and through you. A discovery of God’s plan in your life makes you a living wonder. Daniel was never a president. For 65 years, he was relevant under three presidents in Babylon. In your calling lies your integrity, honour, security and dignity {1 Cor. 7:24}. Paul the apostle was a hooligan, until he discovered God’s plan for his life. When he was separated to his mission on earth, his dignity was restored {Gal.1:15-16}. So, locate where you belong and abide there. Your breakthrough is tied to your assignment; so locate it. 2. Your breakthrough is tied to a place. God is a place-conscious God. He said to Abraham; Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed {Gen. 12:1-3}. God showed Isaac where to

dwell. As he located and settled there, he waxed strong, became very great, and the Philistines envied him {Gen. 26:1-3; 13 & 14}. Your breakthrough is tied to a place, either spiritually or geographically. {a} Spiritually: You belong to a spiritual place, and that is where your breakthrough is {Deut. 12:13-14}. You have a defined spiritual location. So, your multiplication and increase are tied to the pastorate to which you have been assigned {Jer. 3:15-16}. You shall flourish there {Ps. 92:13-14}. Locating your place spiritually secures your destiny. {b} Geographically: There are many covenant people who are strategically displaced by the devil. God is a placedconscious God. The moment you are displaced, you are disgraced! Some go to China, when their geographical place for fulfillment of their destiny is Europe. Such people end up there disgraced. So, let us stop going about, like the horse and mule that have no understanding {Ps. 32:9}. Let’s commit our ways to the Lord, trust in Him and He will direct our steps. Locating your place geographically guarantees your breakthrough. 3. Walking in Revelation: Walking in divine revelation guarantees supernatural breakthroughs. That is why He said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” {Hosea 4:6} and where there is no vision, the people perish {Prov. 29:18}. The word ‘perish’ is to be striped of honour and dignity. The word ‘destroyed’ means to be exterminated. So, you are dead without revelation. Isaiah 60:1 says; “Arise shine for thy light is come. Revelation means being able to see what God is saying. Behind every supernatural breakthrough is access to clear revelation. You need your spirit to be able to access the things of God {1 Cor. 2:14}. I received a call from one our readers from Abuja who testified of how God released divine grace for a good job after reading and praying with our June 4th, 2015 article titled From Sorrow to Glory”. According to him, he has been in search of job for many years, and life became so miserable and challenging to him, till he came across our article of June 4th, and that after reading the article, he received

grace, and that the next day, he called me and narrated his challenges to me. I did pray for the young man on phone that fateful day, and according to him, within three days, he got a call for an interview from a company where he had submitted application for a job since 9months back, and that three days after the interview, he was called to start work. This is grace activated through faith. The young man was able to receive answer to his prayers by divine connection to a Prophet with the right anointing for divine revelation. I therefore charge you to be watchful. The scripture said in Habakkuk 2:1-3, “I will stand upon my watch… and I will watch what He will say to me…” Spiritual sensitivity is the key to accessing divine plan. The aspect of watching is the missing act in the Body of Christ today. People will pray, but they won’t watch. So God unveils His plan to the watchful and those that are spiritually sensitive. All you need, among others, if you want to know where you belong to, be a man/ woman of the Spirit. Only men of the Spirit can connect with divine directives and agenda of God for their live. I pray for you today, as you open your heart for the King of Glory to come in and direct the affairs of your life, God’s divine agenda and purpose for you will manifest. You will never miss your place of divine connection for your breakthrough in Jesus Name. The Lord will bless the little in your hand and cause it to multiply abundantly this season in Jesus Name. Congratulations! You are the next for miracles and testimonies. •For more information, contact: Bishop Theo Ugochukwu – General Overseer, Miracle Assembly Bible Church, a.k.a.

Was God vindictive in olden times? (1)

lexander Pope posits: “To err is human, to forgive, divine!” Is this true of God in the Old Testament?

Is the God of the olden times angry, vindictive, vengeful, bloodthirsty, tyrannical, hard, harsh, and quick to punish? Why is the Old Testament replete with wars, coups and counter-coups, murder, bloodshed, revenge, vengeance, and even ethnic cleansing? Do not the Psalms demonstrate a justifiable desire for revenge for perceived wrong and cursing the enemy? Is there forgiveness in the Old Testament? Did it have to take the Cross of Christ to calm God down and simmer His wrath? Is the God of the Old Testament the same as the God of the New Testament? THE GOD WHO FORGIVES: From the very beginning,

in the Garden of Eden, God has been active in forgiveness because it is central to His very nature. When our first parents, Adam and Eve, disobeyed His express command not to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, their punishment was total death (Gen 2:17). God forgave them and promised a way of escape in Gen 3:15. The story of Noah is primarily a story of salvation rather than judgment (Gen 6:13ff) as further supported by God’s covenant with Noah (Gen 8:21-22). Forgiveness is God’s business. Forgiveness is rooted in the character of God. In God’s self-revelation recorded in Exodus 34:6-7, forgiveness is listed among other divine attributes such as compassion, grace, patience and love: “The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin.” God’s forgiveness indicates His inherent goodness (Psalm 86:5), gives hope to the hopeless, while inducing awesome fear: “If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, therefore you are feared” (Psalm 130:3-4). God

is the subject of the various verbs for ‘forgive’ in the Old Testament. Salach is the most common verb used for forgiveness in the Bible and it is often translated “pardon” and it always has God as the subject. This suggests that forgiveness is an act of God. Forgiveness is an integral part of redemption and reconciliation and healing. [The other verbs are kipper (Lev 4:20; 19:22; Num 15:25) and Nasa (Exod 34:7; Num 14:18; Psalm 32:5). It is because God is willing to forgive that forgiveness between people is both possible and desirable. FORGIVENESS IN THE JACOB-ESAU SAGA Jacob had supplanted, scammed, and cheated his older brother, Esau, of his birthright. Esau was enraged and Jacob absconds from home for about 20 years. Homeward-bound, Jacob seeks peace with his embittered twin in Genesis 33. In his search for forgiveness from and reconciliation with Esau, Jacob uses the phrase “to find favor in your eyes” (vv. 8 10, 15). The narrative suggests that Esau “forgave” Jacob, and in the words of Proverbs

17:9 and 19:11, “overlooked the offence.” The essence of forgiveness in this story is seeking, showing, and receiving favor and overlooking offences. FORGIVENESS IN THE JOSEPH EPIC The complex story of dysfunction, fragmentation, intrigues, deceits, and eventual reconciliation of Jacob’s family comes to a climax in Genesis 50. Upon Jacob’s death, Joseph’s brothers were still unsure of Joseph’s total forgiveness of all the evil they did against him. They requested for it again: “Please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin” (v. 17). In response, Joseph wept, insisting: “Don’t be afraid. Am in the place of God?” (v. 19).

Special prayer meetings:

pecial prayer meetings or targeted prayer meetings as some people choose to call it are spiritual gatherings where people of like minds or those who are encumbered with similar constraints come together to present their common problem to God either in the church or at any other agreed location. The most common form of these prayer meetings are those organised for the sake of single women who are in dire need of husbands and women who have been married for long period of time and are yet to bear children in their marriages. Though the male folk also meet for special prayers geared at seeking God’s help for various purposes, but women seem to value programmes and gatherings organised by the church or a group therein focused at praying for these people who believe and trust that their going there would yield positive result to their quest more than men. However, though some Christians support these special prayer gatherings, others do not buy the idea as they argue that these specific problems confronting Christians have already been addressed during the churches main services have already been prayed for therefore, there is no need for the people concerned to focus on these issues by gathering in their numbers to pray specially for God’s intervention and answer to their request. According to Bishop Oscar Osai, General Overseer of City of Refuge Church, Lagos there is nothing wrong in having targeted prayer meetings adding that there are certain things that Christians do that are not expressly written in the Bible. “Whether it is written in the Bible or not, if single women reach an agreement and decide to gather somewhere to pray for their common goal, they are not contravening any law whatsoever in the Bible; they are only gathered to pray and seek God for their common good. If barren women also meet for special prayer sessions as many as believing God for the fruit of the womb just like those who are trusting God for their own homes; there is nothing wrong in having such meetings; it may not have been expressly written in the Bible that people who are trusting God for the fruit of the womb or future partner should pray on a particular day or at a particular time, but there is nothing wrong in a church arranging a meeting for people who are believing God for one thing or the other, even if it becomes a focused meeting. Anybody who has a challenge has the right to carry the load on their head and attend prayer with people of like mind. Of course, when someone is in dire need of something their focus certainly would be on that particular thing, so we shouldn’t see such people as carrying their burden so obviously on the head, but as people who believe and trust God

Prayer session

It is a common sight to see churches organising special prayer sessions for people especially women who are searching for husbands and those seeking for the fruit of the womb in the church premises or other designated centres affiliated to the church, but the issue is how if these meetings provide the desired solutions and if the Bible supports it. ODINAKA URUAKPA speaks to clerics to get their view on the matter. for solution to their problem”, he said. On those who kick against these targeted meetings, Osai said if anyone is against these gatherings, they are just wasting time on nothing because they are trying to make a fuss out of something, which should otherwise be understandable. “Why would anyone be against someone who has a problem and decides to take it to God in prayer in with others who have similar issues? These are simple understandable issues which I do not expect anyone to make a fuss about. Why should anyone kick against such programmes; is it because it has to do with problem? Don’t businesspeople gather to pray about their businesses? Unless you can prove that the prayer meeting is turning into something else then we can know what we are discussing, but as long as it is a prayer meeting and people are being blessed, it is approved by the church. What we agree on earth, heaven agrees, that is what scripture says”, he maintained. For Pastor K. I. Bona, General Overseer of Chapel of Holiness and Testimony Ikotun, Lagos, there is nothing wrong in these special prayer sessions as long as they are organised and done in a way that glorifies God. “The Bible states that whatever is done with godly intention and to the glory of God, God supports and His presence will be manifested therein.

WHETHER IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE OR NOT, IF SINGLE WOMEN REACH AN AGREEMENT AND DECIDE TO GATHER SOMEWHERE TO PRAY FOR THEIR COMMON GOAL, THEY ARE NOT

CONTRAVENING ANY LAW WHATSOEVER IN THE

BIBLE; THEY ARE ONLY GATHERED TO PRAY AND SEEK GOD FOR THEIR COMMON GOOD. Many a times, there are some ministers of God who are highly gifted to pray and impart knowledge such as in marital cases; they teach couples how to build good and godly homes through special programmes and seminars. We need these special programmes and prayers for families especially in our world today where a lot of things are happening in marriages; many families are breaking up, husbands are leaving their wives to remarry other women, vice versa, some people are living in homes where there is lack of peace and looking at these situation, there is nothing wrong if special sessions are organised to pray for people experiencing difficult situations including those who are believing God for the fruit of the womb. In the same vein, nothing is wrong with such teachings; sometimes, there are

teachings for those seeking for fruitfulness; they should be told how to comport themselves, how to manage themselves as women; sometimes a medical practitioner might be invited who would educate them on how to take care of their body and other things they need to do or know. They are also educated on what to do if they notice any abnormal thing in their body and if they need be treated for these abnormalities. So, these special or focused meetings do not only involve prayers but educative and counselling sessions aimed at getting solutions to the problems at hand and there is nothing wrong with it as long as it is done to the glory of God. It is also aimed at encouraging these women to make them know that there is still hope in the Lord; if God could bless Sarah, Elizabeth and other women that believed God

How necessary? for fruitfulness, God will also do same for them. It is also good when such sessions are organised for spinster and youths generally; they could be taught how to live their lives without falling victim of promiscuity; they could be taught the difference between infatuation and love because today, many of our young women have fallen victim to infatuation thinking that it is true love. A pastor who has this knowledge could call the sisters to prayers and teachings on this aspect of life”, he said. He explained that the reason why gatherings for spinsters seeking for partners in marriage is so common when compared to other cases is attributed to the seriousness of the issue of relationships and the rate of moral decadence which is prevalent in the lives of youths. “In our generation now, we have a lot of youths who are not married and we have the instances where young women fall into the hands of wrong people. Many people today who are married are regretting their marriage because they made a mistake; if they were taught earlier than now, they wouldn’t have married the person they married. One cannot condemn the frequency at which these are organised, but sometimes, we won’t deny the fact that there are people who do it for ulterior motives. But for those who are doing it to curb the moral decadence which is prevalent in the lives of our youths, I am encouraging pastors and ministers to continue with these special programmes because the more it is organised, the more the thoughts of these young ones are rededicated and enlightened. Though I have heard stories of pastors arranging marriages for youths prophesying to them that a particular person is their wife or husband as the case may be; such is not of God. All we need to do as men of God is teach the youths what they need to do right, how to comport themselves, dress and look well and be approachable. It is so unfortunate that some of our women are not approachable; the way they harass suitors who come to them scares away those who would have married them so, apart from praying at this special forums, we educate them on their manner of approach to people just like Rebecca who in giving Abraham’s servant and animal water to drink got herself a husband in Isaac, so we teach them to be approachable as well as good manners, which when they pep with their prayers would make them attractive to men’, he added. Speaking on the issue, Pastor Paul Laitan, senior pastor with Freedom Resurrection Power Ministries, Surulere, Lagos said people, Christians in particular do not need to go for special or focussed prayer session when they have already attended service where all the intentions and problems of the people have been prayed over. “I don’t see any point in people gath-

ering or organising special sessions and advertise it. God already knows our problems even before we say them out; even as Christians when we pray to God in our houses and places of worship, we must certainly mention or list the things we want God to perfect in our lives. It is not recorded anywhere in the Bible that single women gathered in one centre to pray to God to give them husband, neither is it written anywhere that women seeking for the fruit of the womb met at any particular place to pray in unison for God to bless them with children. There are several cases of women who sought for children in the Bible, women like Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth and a host of others, but in seeking the face of God, each went about it in their own individual way”, he explained. On the issue of special prayers sessions for single women, Laitan advised that instead of organising special prayers for this set of people, it would be better to organise seminars and educative sessions for youths, which include these single ladies on how to live good moral lives which would make them stand out and would definitely attract suitors to them. “If the people organising these prayer sessions for women especially would take time to do a bigger thing that would encompass youths both male and female in the church; educate them to live godly lives, bring experts and experienced people to share life experiences with these young ones, they (youths) can learn from these sessions what they ought to do or not to do to and what choice and way to go when it

Christian in prayer

comes to marriage and relationships. From these joint gathering of male and female, most of these youths will be encouraged to build good relationship with each other which will eventually lead to marriage. This mixed gathering would certainly yield lasting marriages than repeated special prayer sessions that eventually yield nothing for those it is organised. I am not saying that God doesn’t answer the prayer of people who call upon Him, but they don’t necessarily have to do their prayers jointly with others who

are facing same challenge or ordeal as they are. I know that if anyone seeking something special from God goes to Him in the right way, God would surely grant his or her heart’s desire because He does not allow His children to be lacking in anything; all we need do like is promised to us in the scriptures is to knock and the door will be opened, seek and we shall find, ask and we shall receive. All this promises come to reality with our faith in God and not faith that gathering as a group would be the answer to our problems”, he submitted.

From the

Pulpit Sunday July 19, 2015

The wisdom of the wise (1) General Overseer of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, in this piece, explains why people suffer lack. Excerpts:

roverbs 8:5, 14 says, “O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. Verse 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength”.

The word of God teaches us to know the true God, and what He requires of man, and for what He has made man for, and above all, to know Jesus Christ whom He sent, and for what end He was sent, the necessity of His being sent, and the nature of that salvation which He bought for us by His own blood. The ability to know the above spiritual truth and apply it for the betterment of your soul and the entire society is the wisdom that matters. And this is the wisdom that God wishes that everyone should have. By this wisdom there is every certainty that we can draw solid comfort both for now and eternity, for no attack made against it however fierce or subtle can ever weaken its force. So, as we live our lives, having this wisdom should be our chief property that w i l l guarantee eternal happiness. It is a blessing that in this world of uncertainties, we have something sure such as true wisdom to rest upon.

Pastor Muoka

Thus, while we are passing through this temporal world, we should not be ignorant of the wisdom which is eternal and which will add value to our life. Psalms 19: 7 says, “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple” The practical effect of the Word of God is to turn the man to his Creator, and to holiness. Its purpose is to make the man to be restored to the place from which sin had removed him. The more closely we keep to the true wisdom in our life the more likely we are to be successful in this world and at the end make heaven at last. We all should, remember that we are in the very last days. In fact we are in the end time, and many things are haphap pening, many are forsaking the Lord, many have no more fear of God, many are lliving li ving their life the way they like in isolation with the Almighty God. Many people do not think they will this leave world one day, and they are not preparing for it rather the world and its glory matters so much to tthem. hem. Many people p eople claim tto o be believers, yet the world is too fascinating to them. They

love the world more than the commandment of God. This is why the Bible made it very clear that no matter what you are giving your life over to remember that wisdom of godliness with contentment is great gain. It is the best gain both for this world and that which is to come. 1Timothy 6:6-7 says, “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” The wisdom of godliness directs us to know that the true and only way of worshipping and serving God is hinged upon holy contentment. If we have the wisdom that we brought nothing into this world and shall carry nothing out, we should no longer be interested in acquiring beyond what we needed to make our journey here very convenient. We should know that the thing of this world, the glory of this world passes away. We must have the wisdom to discern that flesh and blood shall not enter the kingdom of God, that our body can never enter the heaven no matter how regular we observe our religious obligation. I want to let you know that no matter how beautiful what you possess are like, they cannot enter heaven. 1Corinthians 7:29-31 says, “But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.” I want to let you know, the condition you are into whether good or bad, the Lord want you to understand there is no more time remaining, so you should begin to detach yourself from whatsoever is distracting you from knowing there is no more time, for the glory of this world, the thing of this world will surely passed away. So if you are in this world now and you are giving to these things of this world and these have captured your soul and have taken you away from t h e

things of God and as a result you are thinking that you are wise, then, you are making a lot of mistake because the Bible said in Mark 8:36-37 says, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Nothing among what all you possess such as your spouse, children, money, property that you can give in exchange for your soul. I don’t know what you are given over to, I don’t know what you are attached to or what you are given yourself to, but remember there is nothing you can use to exchange your soul. All the glory of this world shall pass away; it shall vanish, so I implore you to put on the wisdom that matters. THE WISDOM THAT MATTERS & DANGER OF WORLDLY WISDOM Every Chosen or every believer should have the right wisdom, the wisdom that we should be wise to fear God matters, w depart from all evil, we should have and depar understanding that there is no more time, understan that when the trumpet shall sound, what matter is how prepared we are. will matte Proverb 3:7 says, “Be not wise in thine Prover own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” not know the evil that is fascinatI do no ing you in this world but the Lord is warning you to know today that if you want to heaven or rapture, you must fear make hea depart from evil. God and d 12:13-14 says, “Let us hear the conEccl 12 of the whole matter: Fear God, clusion o and keep his commandments: for this whole duty of man. For God shall is the wh every work into judgment, with bring eve secret thing, whether it be good, or every secr whether iit be evil.” will bring all works to judgment God w and if you want to make heaven or want among those that will make rapto be am you don’t have this wisdom and ture and y you don’t bother about the way you live your life, I want to let you know, when trumpet shall sound you will miss it. the trump trumpet sounds and it dawned on If the tru you didn’t make it, you will hear you that y from me he that walks iniquity, ‘depart fr know you’. Then you will realI never k the things of this world have an ize that th end. So, if you are living and giving yourself to the things of this world and think to live forever here, you you are going g wasting your time. Remember, what are wasti matters in this world are to fear God and keep His commandment. That is why the Bible says it is the whole duty of man and whatever you do of-course are not hidden from God whether good or bad God will of them to judgment and if you bring all o heaven who will you blame.

With the right make-up, no woman is ugly –Omolara Ayedun, beauty artist She is a very pleasant personality who answers questions with ease, a journalist’s delight so to say. Welcome to the world of Omolara Ayedun, a makeup artist, who has been in the industry of beauty for some years now. This diva, wife and mother told Adaeze Amos in this interview the importance of makeup and some beauty blunders that should be avoided. She said with the right make-up on, no woman is ugly because every face has the right make-up. You studied Mass Communications but opted for makeup artistry, what are your reasons for that? I ventured into make-up as a career due to the love I have for arts and passion for beauty. Today I’m the CEO of Laglitz Beauty Clinique which of course is into beauty, bridal hair, celebrity make-up and runway make-up. I have been enjoying my career. Make-up is not something you start just because of the money. You need a driving force to be able to carry on. Were you trained before you started? Oh sure I was trained. The first training I had was with a lady that finished from the House of Tara. But I was not just satisfied with that. I had to travel to United Kingdom for more training and that was where I got an opportunity to be a beauty expert. Mention some popular faces you have made up? I have been able to work with Genevieve magazine, so that was a platform that helped me to makeup some popular celebrities in the likes of Ibinabo Fiberesima, the Actors Guild of Nigeria president, the former Miss South Africa, The winner for Nigeria Next Super Model and so many others I may not remember off hand. What makes your beauty outfit out unique? What stands me out is perfection. I always tell my students that in make-up business, you only have one opportunity. If you do it well, your clients would come back, but if you don’t do it well, you won’t even see them again. So, they come back to me because my make-up looks natural on them unlike some that you see they look loud and fine but after a while, they just melt into oil. So, my clients keep coming back to me because my make-up stays on much longer. I take into consideration our weather in this part of the world. So I do make-up that would last and not the one that dissolves in the sun. So, my clients keep coming back to me because quality and perfection. What are the things you bear in mind while trying to make a client up? Before I make a person up, I first and foremost find out the skin type of the person. If the person has an oily face, I dare not use oily beauty products on her face. If she has a dry skin, I don’t apply products that have no oil because such a face needs moisture. When I prepare a face for makeup, the make-up would last much longer provided I follow the right procedure and use the right products. What kind of face thrills you to work on? (Laughs) This question is too technical. Every face is okay by me. When I see a face, I picture a professional make-up on the face. Whether she is beautiful, whether she is dark, I just picture a very beautiful make-up on that person. At times I imagine the day we would have a make-up day in this country, where everyone should wear a professional make-up that is when you would realise

that every woman is beautiful. I believe there is no ugly woman ever created. Every woman is beautiful because in make-up, there is a way we use make-up to change one’s looks. For instance, if you have a broad nose, there is a way I can use

There are so many blunders really. Let’s start from eye brow, some women like their brows heavy and dark. Some even go ahead to use black eye pencil and this is wrong. Using black eye pencil is a beauty blunder. Your eye pencil should be a soft brown but it shouldn’t be black because when it is black before someone would see you, the first thing that would be noticed on you is your jet black brows. Secondly, some women use foundation that is not their colour because they just want their face to appear lighter. Use the exact colour of your skin. Another blunder is that some ladies use multiple colours of eye-shadow on their eyes and they think that is right. It is wrong! Make-up artists usually commit such blunder. We go to our clients with the mind to sell our make-up that is why when a face doesn’t need a red lipstick for instance, we apply red lipstick so as to sell it. This is wrong! We need to apply make-up based on the concept of what the person is wearing, her age, event she wants to attend and the colour of what she is putting on. Are there some false-lashes blunders you have observed? There are. Some people are mixing beauty make-up and runway make-up together. For beauty make-up, soft lashes are better because they make you look natural. But some buy runway lashes/photography lashes for beauty makeup. And when you see them, they look horrible.

make-up to make it look pointed. If you have a full round face, there is a way I can make it look oblong and vise versa. Simply put, there is no woman that is ugly. God indeed made every woman beautiful. Yes, we are carefully made! Are there some features on one’s face that direct you on the course of your job? There is what we call contour. We normally contour the jaw line. So, there as a lady I did contour for and seeing her I noticed that her jaw was slim and if I should contour her, her jaw would look too slim. So, instead of contouring, I highlighted so as to make her face more beautiful. So, sometimes, when you look at the features of one’s face, it helps me know the type of make-up to use. As a beauty expert, what make-up blunders are common in our society?

What is the most thrilling aspect of your job? When a face is totally transformed, I’m thrilled. So, I would say that the transformation aspect of my job thrills me most. You know when you make up a client, and maybe while you are doing it, she is not looking at the mirror and when you are done, she looks at her face and smiles. That is satisfying. That is why when I have a job, I don’t cut cost, I use the best. Whatever it would take to bring out the best in a face, I would go for it. Reason is that I may not make the money at once but that very face may bring more clients to me. What makes your day? Making up makes my day. When I stay in my house without painting, I won’t be happy. I always have the urge to make people up and I’m happy doing that. My job is like a hobby to me.

‘More counsellors are needed in our secondary schools’ ADAEZE AMOS

hen Mercy Elegbeleye studied Counselling, a course she had always loved, she knew she would do well in it. Reason is that “I have always loved solving people’s problems with ease and making sure I give them some directives on how to go about it when they are confused. Hence, I studied Counselling at the University of Nigeria Nsukka for my first degree and then masters degree in the same course at the University of Lagos. So, today I’m a Counsellor in one of the secondary schools in Lagos state and I’m enjoying my job because it touches lives,” she asserted. Did you ask what her duties are as a school Counsellor? “My job entails counselling and guiding students aright so that they would adjust to the school environment. Reason is that there are certain challenges that could hinder our children’s performances in schools. Such hindrances as social, psychological and academic hinderances are what I’m supposed to help them curb. Some of them have problems that are supposed to be codified in order to fit into the school system and get the best out of it,” she stressed. She knows how to counsel every student based on their background. “For instance, if I’m going to counsel a child who is being raised by a single parent mother or father, I would start by letting the child know that he can still do well in life/school irrespective of the fact that he is being raised by his mother alone. I will do so by mentioning names of some personalities in the world who were raised by their mother or by their father, who eventually became great in life and that he too could even do better with more seriousness and concentration in his studies. The child ought to know that God has deposited great potential in his life and that he could only tap into those potential if he should sit up. This has helped a lot because most children I give such advice put in the best and they do well at last. Encouraging a child not to feel inferior in the midst of students who are being raised by both parents work wonders because if you don’t, it affects them psychologically,” she enthused. Does she also counsel children/students with downs syndrome? “As a counsellor, you dare not go into areas you are not trained for. I’m not trained to counsel or guide autistic student or students with imbecility. If I find out a student with such a challenge, I quickly do reference service. This means that I would refer such a child to a better place where he or she is supposed to be taken care of. There are autistics centres? So, if I should see such a child in a normal school, I would refer her to a place meant for her. Reason is that if you leave such child in a normal system, she would not benefit because a counsellor would focus on every student at the same pace or level not knowing that such a child is lagging behind,” she stressed. Although this mother and wife enjoys her job as a school counsellor, but that does not rule out the fact that the job comes with numerous challenges. “The first challenge is that we don’t have enough school counsellors. We need more hands and that’s the fact! In the school where I work for instance, we are just two counsellors there and that leaves us with numerous responsibilities because the students are over a thousand. And students need us to guide them with regards to what they want to be in the nearest future, their professions and subjects that are required for those professions,” she pointed out. But despite the challenges she mentioned, there is something she enjoys most in her job. “And that seeing other people’s problems as my own and making all efforts to solve them. When their problems are solved, it makes my day, I’m always happy and fulfilled that I have achieved my aim. I have the passion to guide students that honestly gives me much joy. When I see academic problems solved, I’m satisfied because I have always loved to help people wriggle out of their difficult situa tions and that is what my job entails. Putting confused students t o the right track so that they would be able to achieve their purpose,” she said. For those who want to study counselling in the university, Elegbeleye has some words. “Ensure that you are the type that cares for others. If not you won’t be able to perform well as a school counsellor. You won’t enjoy your job. You must be someone who gets disturbed over people’s academic, psychological and social situations,” she said.

Dude Style

‘I don’t need expensive dress to look great’ Chidi Uzoma a.k.a Baba D is one comedian that is fun to be with, he calls himself the comedian with the biggest ear, he studied computer science from federal polytechnic Ife. In this interview with Victor Udoh, he talks about why he loves to dress corporate.

that your shirt as stained, they will just be looking at you, and you will be wondering why is this people like at me like that, a friend had to call me to go and change my cloth. That was really embarrassing for me. Well, if is good on you go ahead no harm. Have seen people putting it on and is good on them. If you are fashionable is good but if you are not is not good, because, you need swag to carry yourself on it very well.

Can you tell us about your dress sense? I like to be corporate, because it makes me to be simple and convenient. Being a corporate person, I like wearing what will make me to be smart especially when I am delivering my jokes on stage. Also, I like my dressing to be comfortable on me What is that thing you can never be caught wearing? I can’t be caught wearing earring, because I see it as a sign of irresponsible, I see people who wears earring as tout. This days you see artist wear earring in the name of fashion. I would have love to wear it but you see area boys wears it , so I make up my mind what it is the essence of wearing what every tout on the street putting on.

In comedy who is your mentor? Alibaba, because he’s the king of comedy in Nigeria. I respect him a lot, because he has really helped so many comedians to achieve their aims. I respect such people a lot. If he did not give platform for other comedians I wouldn’t have been a comedian, I wouldn’t know that there will be money in making people laugh. He makes us to see the business part of it, that while is my mentor.

Why do you like corporate dressing? I wear suit because I always had this corporate training. My mum as always trained me in a way that anytime she is dressing me up she must make sure I talk in., So I had that corporate training from my mum since when I was small, I like to look serious and smart on my dressing. I love it. Do you wear perfume? I’m not really a fan of perfume; I don’t like to wear it. I only wear perfume when a friend or a colleague buys for me, I don’t even know their names. Sometime if the need arises to wear it , I like wearing my sister’s perfume, I don’t like to spray it on my shirt , I prefer to spray it on my hand pit than my shirt. When it comes to dressing who is your mentor? Have not really admired anybody dressing, the way I admire people I try to look at reputable people in the society, how they dress. Most celebrities these days, their dressing is more expensive than their income, I see somebody like Dangote putting on a T-shirt, I ask myself if this kind of

Have you been embarrassed on stage before? I have never been embarrassed on stage. if I’m no longer flowing on stage I will sign out with a good joke I have within me that period man with his billion can be very simple in his dressing then who I’m to dress expensive. I don’t need expensive dress to be expensive. This is the kind of people I’m looking up to, not the people who are trying to survive in the name of packaging. So I don’t have any mentor when it comes to dressing. Have you been embarrassed due to what you are wearing? Have only been embarrassed the day I went out , well dressed in white and a car splashed dirty water on me, there is no way I would have gone back home because I was very close to the event. I have no choice than to go like that, I didn’t notice that the shirt was seriously stained behind, and Nigerians are so wicked they will never tell you

What is your philosophy of life? Life is simple, take life the way it is, and don’t kill yourself for what you can’t achieve. At times you want to achieve something and it look very difficult for you, don’t relent keep trying you will surely achieve it. What do you call your kind of joke? My kind if joke is situational jokes. Jokes you can sit down and think after laughing and thought provoking jokes. What is your advice to the upcoming artistes who are looking up to you? My advice for the young artiste, is for them to be confident and be bold with their dreams.

Don’t run away from your pregnant wife! I

n this part of the world, the major reason for sex is believed to be procreation. The other reason is pleasure. So, when sex is for procreation, the intention is to get pregnant first and then, the baby comes later. Before the pregnancy, couples often put their all into the sex game. For many who are free with their partners, there is no end to what they can do to having fun. To them, it is always a moment of maximum enjoyment. But what happens when the woman becomes pregnant? Can sex be the same again during pregnancy? This is a question that many would answer in different ways. However, the truth is that sex during pregnancy is safe. To begin with, it is important to note that at the initial stage, because of hormonal fluctuations, fatigue and nausea; your sexual desire may reduce. The weight gain, back pain and other symptoms of pregnancy may also not make sex attractive to you. But once again, sex during pregnancy is safe, especially when the pregnancy is progressing normally. So, get those fears away and enjoy yourself. Sex during pregnancy can’t cause a miscarriage: Many couples are afraid that having sex during pregnancy may cause miscarriage. But it is not true. Cases of early miscarriages are often times related to chromosomal abnormalities or other problems. And really,

Models

sex during pregnancy is not supposed to be the vigorous type that you have when the woman is free. Sex cannot harm the baby, please: Sexual activities cannot harm the baby. In actual fact, experts have said the “developing baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as well as the strong muscles of the uterus itself ”. So, be free, enjoy yourself.

Sunday Mirror www.nationalmirroronline.net

Your best sexual positions during pregnancy are…: Although we will later come up with some sex positions that are good for you during pregnancy, let me say here that no position is bad as long as you are comfortable with it. Most sexual positions are good for you once it does not give you any pain or look awkward. Besides, the growth of your pregnancy will determine what is best suitable for you. For example, you may at a point not feel comfortable lying on your back during sex, but prefer to lie next to your partner sideways or climb him; or be in his front. Oral sex? Yes. Anal sex? No! Experts say oral sex is not bad during pregnancy. There is however a caution: “If you receive oral sex, though, make sure your partner doesn’t blow air into your vagina. Rarely, a burst of air might block a blood vessel (air embolism) — which could be a life-threatening condition for you and the baby.” Anal sex is not considered safe for one who is pregnancy. Again, here is a warning note: “Anal sex might be uncomfortable if you have pregnancy-related hemorrhoids. More concerning, anal sex might allow infection-causing bacteria to spread from the rectum to the vagina.” What orgasms can cause: Orgasms can cause uterine contractions and this does not lead to labour. So, don’t get confused if you are experiencing it for the first time. Don’t avoid sex as a result of the contractions as it cannot lead to labour. Practice smart sex. The same caution you apply before you became pregnant must also be observed during pregnancy. If you are at a risk of contracting a sexually transmitted diseases from your partner, then use a condom each time you want to have sex. This time around, you are not the only one at risk if you are not careful. That baby you are carrying is also at risk. So, couples don’t let pregnancy deny you your pleasure. Get to business and you will realise that everything will be okay sexually. Have fun, but remember that easy does it.

Sexual solutions and love products for adults I have a question that is slightly embarrassing. My husband loves anal sex a bit too much. I do it with him once in a while just to make him happy but I am beginning to get the feeling that he may be gay which explains his sexual proclivities. Could it be that I married a homosexual? –Ngozi Dear Ngozi, it is human nature to consider something strange or weird if you are not used to it. From the food we eat to our different languages, fashion sense and mentality, human beings vary from place to place and like different things. It doesn’t make them weird. Once, I was in Dubai for the holidays with my family. We went to the desert to drive around the undulating sand dunes and when we stopped to take some pictures, some Asian tourists gathered around to take pictures of my son’s hair. They kept touching my children’s hair and taking pictures with admiration for the texture which is so different from their own hair. The dense and coarse nature of African hair felt alien to them. My point is that being different does not make you weird or abnormal. Human sexual tendencies are as diverse as our culinary appetite. The fact that your husband enjoys anal sex does not make him gay. But it is also possible that he is gay and if so, what is he to do? Homosexuality has been criminalized in Nigeria so what do we expect homosexuals to do if they cannot date or marry each other? Some of them have no choice but to try to blend in. In any case, does your husband love you? Does he treat you right? Does he take care of his family? Does he do honest work? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then you have a good man by your side. The only issue I have with anal sex is hygiene. But if the people who do it clean up properly and use all the right sanitary products, then they are fine. It is a matter of taste really – Uche I travel a lot so I need a vibrator that can give my wife quality pleasure in my absence. I also want your best penis enlargement pump. Thanks – Chike Hello Chike. Get her the Hunni Bunny Rabbit Vibrator and for yourself, go for the Potent Developer Pump – Uche I don’t get wet easily and my husband doesn’t have the pa-

tience. So I am always bruised after sex which is not fun at all. I need something that can help rescue my marriage – Onyinye Not all women lubricate enough during sex, even with foreplay. Sometimes you get wet and as the intercourse goes on, you begin to dry up again. That is why every woman is advised to always have a lubricant by her bedside. Get the Smooth & Lubricant. It lubricates very well to avoid vaginal dryness, bruising and pain – Uche Please I need your help with a matter that is very embarrassing for me. I suffer from a severe case of premature ejaculation. How do I stop it? – Udoh There are many ways of dealing with it but the most popular one is through the use of ejaculation delay ointments. Call the numbers below and ask for Stallion Delay Cream . Apply it all over the penis a few minutes before sex. This will slow down penile sensitivity and ensure you last long enough before climaxing. For even better results, use it with a Couple’s Vibrator. This is a vibrating device worn at the base of the penis to maintain a man’s erection for up to twenty minutes after ejaculation while stimulating the woman to orgasm as well. It will help you significantly – Uche Please do you have books on adult sex positions and stuff that can help me and my husband in our relationship –Nonyelum Sure. The Sex 365 positions book and the Nick Hawk Gigolo Sex Positions Book can help you with all the variety you need to keep your love life exciting and satisfactory – Uche When I am fully erect, my organ is 6 inches long. Can you give me a penile extension that can enable me satisfy my wife more –Bulus Bulus go for the 8 inch penile extension or the 10 inch Penile Extension. They are both big, impressive and satisfying and you don’t have to wait till you ejaculate before wearing it. Penile Extensions can also be used for the purpose of preventing premature ejaculation so you

will enjoy it – Uche Adults in need of these treatments/novelties can call 08171912551 or 08027901621 for help or visit www.zeevirtualmedia.com. Zee Virtual Media delivers all over Nigeria. For enquiries email us at custserv@zeevirtualmedia.com- Uche Edochie, MD, Zee Virtual Media.

Swollen legs during pregnancy

Anu Sosanya ‘I had tattoos done on my body’

hen Agnes was seven months gone in her pregnancy, her two legs started swelling. And before she complained to her doctor, she was almost asking every woman she met on her way to the hospital “why are my ankles and feet so swollen?” So, if you are heavy with a child and your legs and ankles have swollen, don’t fret much. What you’re experiencing is what medical experts call edema. Guess what it is? Edema is when excess fluid collects in your tissue. It’s normal to have a certain amount of swelling during pregnancy remember? Reason is that you’re retaining more water in your body than before. Another reason is that changes in your blood chemistry can also cause some fluid to shift into your tissue. In addition, your growing uterus puts pressure on your pelvic veins and your vena cava (the large vein on the right side of the body that carries blood from your lower limbs back to the heart). The pressure slows the return of blood from your legs, causing it to pool, which forces fluid from your veins into the tissues of your feet and ankles. So, for this reason, you are most likely going to have edema just as Agnes did, especially during your third trimester. It may be particularly severe for women with excessive amniotic fluid or those carrying multiples (twins, triplets, quadriplets). Edema also tends to be worse at the end of the day and during the summer. Did you ask if your legs would remain swollen even after you had delievered? Oh no! After your delivery, swelling will disappear fairly rapidly as your body eliminates the excess fluid. You may find yourself urinating frequently and sweating a lot in the first days after childbirth.. When to be concerned about swelling Though it is nomal for your legs and ankles to swell but there is a level it gets to, you should get worried. A certain amount of edema is normal in the ankles and feet during pregnancy. You may also have some mild swelling in your hands. But when the swelling gets to your face, and there is puffiness around your eyes complain to your doctor. That could be a sign of high blood pressure induced pregnancy or preeclampsia which is a serious condition. Or better still alert your doctor when you notice that one leg is swollen while the other is normal especially if you

have any pain or tenderness in your calf or thigh. This could signal a blood clot, another serious condition. How to avoid edema Put your feet up whenever possible. When you are at work, it helps to keep a stool or pile of books under your desk. Don’t cross your legs or ankles while sitting. Stretch your legs frequently while sitting: Stretch your leg out, heel first, and gently flex your foot to stretch your calf muscles. Rotate your ankles and wiggle your toes. Take regular breaks from sitting or standing. A short walk every so often will help keep your blood from pooling in your lower extremities. Wear comfortable shoes that stretch to accommodate any swelling in your feet. Don’t wear socks or stockings that have tight bands around the ankles or calves. Try waist-high maternity support stockings. Put them on before you get out of bed in the morning so blood doesn’t have a chance to pool around your ankles. Drink plenty of water. Surprisingly, this helps your body retain less water. * Exercise regularly, especially by walking, swimming, or riding an exercise bike. Or try a water aerobics class – immersion in water may temporarily help reduce swelling, particularly if the water level is up near your shoulders. Eat well and avoid junk foods. Try not to let the swelling get you down. The sight of your swollen ankles will probably add to your feeling of ungainliness, but edema is a temporary condition that will pass soon after you give birth. Try not to let the swelling get you down. The sight of your swollen ankles will probably add to your feeling of ungainliness, but edema is a temporary condition that will pass soon after you give birth.

hen tatoos were in vogue some years back, I was one the first set of people that went in for it. And because of my faith in God, I chose to have the sign of crucifix on my arm because it teaches me the words of God, so I thought. I also had another design on my neck and hidden part of my body. It’s not every one that sees that one. I felt cool when I had them; at least as a celebrity, you need to be abreast of things in vogue. But later on in life when I started listening to sermons properly and attentively, I discovered that God does not like one leaving a permanent mark or marks on the body. That it is not proper and He frowns at it, I then regretted ever having tattoos on my body. Honestly, sometimes I wish I hadn’t done it. Having it on my body makes me consider it as one of the naughtiest thing I have ever done. I want to advise those who hadn’t any tattoo but are longing to have not to do it. You are more beautiful the way you are. So, if you are having the urge to do it, don’t succumb to that pressure. Give it sometime and that urge would fizzle out. I never had a second thought before doing mine, if not I wouldn’t have done it. At times when I look at my tattoos, I tell myself that it’s okay, it’s cool but I know that within me, I regretted having it. I try to console myself by being bold about it but right inside me, I dislike it. And guess what? Removing my tattoos would mean going for laser surgery, which of course is more painful.

Zinfandel Wine

infandel is mostly grown in California and Southern Italy and is usually used to produce deep, dark rich red wines. However, Zoinfandel is a versatile grape and is used to produce many styles, ranging from late harvest dessert wines, rosés (White Zinfandel) and Beaujolais-style light reds to big hearty reds and fortified wine in the style of port. The quality and character of American Zinfandel wines largely depend on the location, climate and age of the vineyard, as well the techniques used by the winemaker. Zinfandel “old vines” are particularly prized. In an ideal Zinfandel, you’ll find a slight hint of Eucalyptus on the nose with cherry, cinnamon (which indicates French Oak), currant, and spice. On the palate you’ll find cherry, tiny hints of vegetable (we mean tiny), blueberry, vanilla and perhaps some beef jerky. This wine pairs well with simple foods like burgers, pizza, Mexican or Thai foods, sweet barbecue sauces, sausages, turkey tomatoes and stinky cheeses.

Moi Moi

oi-moi is a very popular food in Nigeria; it could be eaten alone or eaten along side, rice, akamu (pap) and several other foods in Nigeria. The ingredients for moi moi includes beans, groundnut oil, tatashe, crayfish, salt, magi(seasoning), onions and either minced meat, cooked fish, mashed meat, corned beef, fried fish, or egg. However, a combination of two or three eggs can be used and tatashe is a red hot chili pepper, purposefully used for natural colouring. It changes the color of the moi moi to red. Preparation Segregate three cups (milk cups) of beans Remove sand and impurities then soak in cool water for five minutes then begin washing. Wash and squeeze hardly to remove the skin, this may take up to 20 minutes. Keep washing and squeezing, sieving till the skin is totally removed (it’s not too hard), Transfer into a container and add the crayfish, onions, pepper (red) then grind

How to make moi moi Pour it in a container, add cube seasoning Ground-nut oil. Just pour in the oil and stir, add about two cooking spoon full or (about 5 to 10 cl), Add salt to taste. Once the taste seems nice, add the sliced or whole egg to the mixture (or you can choose to add while in moi-moi plates) some people also use corned beef or fish. Just parboil the fish with some ingredients (seasoning/onions/carrot) Remove the center bones/pieces them a bit and then add them to the mixture (this is the most popular one in our home) Transfer into the moi- moi- plates or nylon wrap and drop inside the pot (to prevent burning, a piece of cloth is left underneath the pot) You can place the plate above each other provided the pot would be properly covered. Once set, add water simultaneously, like every ten minutes so it does not float above the first plate.

Burna Boy reveals he would pick Cynthia Morgan over Chidinma

ancehall superstar, Burnaboy has revealed that given the choice between pop singer, Chidinma and dancehall act, Cynthia Morgan, he would choose the latter as his personal female preference. The 24 year-old made this and several other juicy revelations on this week’s episode of MTV Base Real Talk where he was the featured guest. Responding to questions from twitter user @mysizzledizzle, “what kind of girl do you like: calm like Chidinma or wild like Cynthia Morgan?” he replied, ‘I think I’ll go with Cynthia Morgan,’ before quickly adding, ‘I mean I would have them both’. Burna Boy also took some time out to address his controversial tweet about the 2015 MTV MAMA. Clarifying his intention for putting up the post, he said, ‘Usually, I don’t get affected by awards but I saw that my fans were really affected and if it affects my fans, then it affects me deeply’. Responding to @oluwasparklesni’s tweet about whether or not he had been stabbed before he said, ‘You see? Clean. No scars’, while raising his shirt for the camera to see. Morgan

Fans blast Juliet Ibrahim over endorsement deal

eautiful Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim, who has been plying her trade in Ghana and Nigeria, whose charming face and has endeared her to numerous fans across Africa, is under fire from her fans.They are really mad at her for a recent action she undertook. Her numerous fans have been hitting hard on her for taking up an endorsement Deal, which they believe is going to work against her. They believed that her endorsement of such a brand means she is in support of what is not good. The 29-year-old light-skinned mother of one, was spotted on the billboard advert of one of the popular bleaching creams in Ghana, Carotone. One of Juliet Ibrahim’s teeming fans that got angry by the billboard advert, Chris Vincent of Ghana celebrities said, “It’s pathetic to come across a bleaching celebrity but for one to boldly become a poster girl for a bleaching cream; that is diabolical, insensitive and grossly callous, considering the fact that we have a large population of uneducated Ghanaians, who would just buy these products for the mere fact Juliet Ibrahim is on it .” In his rage, the visibly angry Vincent, expressed his utmost disappointment of how Juliet could stoop so low to deceive the people that ought to be looking up to her for good morals as she is a role model to many. “I don’t know how much they paid Juliet Ibrahim and I do not care to know, else, I would have asked her. However, I am offensively disappointed to see a mother of one, a well-established name with several young followers, having seemingly relegated her conscience into the gutters, for the sake of money.” The beautiful actress won the best actress award in a leading role at the 2010 Ghana Movie Awards for her role in 4 Play.

Adventures of Mr. Patrick comedy show draws closer

ith barely a week to the July edition of ‘The Comedy Show With Mr Patrick,’ which has been scheduled for July 25, 2015, Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) nominee, Mr. Patrick, is presently basking in the euphoria of the level of sustained attention and endorsement he has received from individuals, brands and stakeholders for his monthly show and comedy series under the banner, ‘Adventures of Mr. Patrick.’ Shortly after his AMVCA nomination for ‘Comedy Writer of the Year’ for the movie, ‘The Place,’ Mr. Patrick (known as Kunle Thomas in other circles) followed up with a five-minute comedy TV drama series broadly titled, ‘Adventures of Mr. Patrick,’ which now has two episodes online titled, ‘Pop Champagne’ and ‘Work Out Plan.’ Still riding high on the waves of how far he has come, Mr. Patrick secured a nod from ‘Silverbird Cinemas’ and ‘Silverbird Galleria’, towards having a monthly comedy show inside the cinema for their customer and select VIPs. ‘Adventures of Mr. Patrick’ is close to the foreign drama series of Michael Crawford’s, ‘Some Mothers Do Have Them’, only that it isn’t a full drama series. It is a ‘FlatStick’ comedy, which is a kind of comedy with less talk and it is a Pan-African show where Mr. Pat-

rick connects with audience through comedy. The monthly comedy titled, ‘The Comedy Show with Mr Patrick,’ will see Mr. Patrick entertain guests in the over 200 capacity cinema hall for over one hour; dishing out fresh and truly funny jokes. Guests at the show will be customers of the cinema and select VIP guests.

Patrick

“I want to assure all lovers of comedy that they are in for a truly rib-cracking moment at Silverbird and ‘Adventures of Mr. Patrick.’ We have put in so much effort into these two projects and we are bound to redefine the way comedy is done in Nigeria. Also, a big shout-out to Silverbird for this great opportunity,” he said. The zealous comedian, who was recently announced as the Ambassador for ‘Pryce Check’, has appeared in quite a number of stand-up shows including ‘Nite of Thousand Laughs’, ‘Africa Kings of Comedy,’ ‘AY Live,’ ‘BasketMouth Uncensored,’ and a host of others. He has also performed at corporate events and government functions both home and aboard, which has added to his rising profile. Mr. Patrick, a writer, actor, compere and stand-up comedian, who through the years, has earned accolades for his spontaneity, creativity and delivery, gradually became the talk of the town, for his perfect delivery in the comedy skit, ‘Adventures of Kunle Thomas’, which was shown on several TV stations. As a gifted entertainer, Mr. Patrick knows his onions and uses his new comedy TV series, ‘Adventures of Mr. Patrick’, to elaborate on the issues of life in a satirical manner.

You can’t serve two masters A song, “thank God for delivering me from hands of the wizards, witches and principalities of this world. It is the desire of people to be delivered and saved from the hands of the wizards, witches and principalities of this world. How do people want God to deliver them when the wizards and witches are bosses to these people? Many people do not know that wizards and witches eat and feed from the worldly things people do. In spite of the fact that many people claim to be Christians or believers serving God diligently, partaking in church activities yet they still seek other gods to intervene in their problems. Whenever God through His prophets prophesy into the life of some people and tell them what to do for their life to be meaningful, thereafter they go to these god and narrate all they were told by the men of God. Then how do they want to be delivered or saved. The possessions of these gods are in the hands of these people. These categories of Christians do not belong to the church or Jesus even when they call the name of Jesus because after church service, they go to other places to seek other gods. What blocks prayers not to be answered? It is the other gods that people go to. We should understand that no one can serve two masters; the scripture says in Mathew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters, either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other, you cannot serve both God and mammon”. Therefore, it is imperative for people to choose one and leave the other. Also the Bible says in Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me”. Brethren, I would like to share my experience with you when the need arose for me to make choice in whom to serve in the

course of establishing my ministry. I knew my position and what I was doing. Then I realised the need to make a choice between being called a high chief and a pastor. Prior to becoming a pastor, I was respected as a honourable high chief of my home town. I could not imagine having Pastor/Chief as prefix efix to my name. It is not sensible. I became a chief at a tender age and well deserved because it was my family chieftaincy taincy title and I was chosen by the Ifa oracle. e. After a well-thought consideration, I opted ed to be follower of Jesus and dropped the family amily chieftaincy title because Jesus Christ st is my master and son of God. Since I opted ed out to be Jesus’ follower, I have been on the e right path to righteousness because the Bible ible say in Mathew 10:40 “...he who receivess me receives the one who sent me”. Now ow that I have chosen to serve God, it would d be absurd for me to be involved in the family ly chieftaincy or traditional activities. And I will not have the gut to sing the song of thanking hanking God for delivering me from the hand and of wizard and witches. I fervently pray that the Lord should save people from the thing hing that cannot deliver, promote and upliftt them in the name of Jesus Christ. In the same ame vein, the homes and families occupying pying the home are in the hands of the e wizards, witches and principalities. ies. If cordial and mutual relationship nship does not exist among husbands, ands, wives, children and neighbours, hbours, their lives won’t be pleasant. easant. A husband that is nott well related with his wife, children and neighbour is in danger. I

emphatically stressed that husband and wife that are fighting or quarrelling, there will be obstacles in the couple’s life and their children. Husbands need to respect their wives because the Bible says in I Peter 3:7 “...be considerate as you live with your wives and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heir with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers” Also wives need to be submissive to their husbands in everything (Ephesians 5:22-24). Wives that want to prove they are right to their husband will be blamed eventually. Anger, impatient, intolerance etc. are physical

problems people particularly husbands and wives need to avoid so that love, peace and understanding could prevail in their marital life. Some women have lost their marital life because of impatience and intolerance; they hurriedly packed out of their matrimonial homes. Many people have lost the opportunities to positive change-life because they allowed their prayers to have obstacles due to their physical problems. The wizards, witches and principalities of the world prevailed over these people because of their physical problems. Brethren, I pray that these ungodly things will never prevent us from achieving our heart desire in Jesus name. Amen. •For further enquiries call: 08023020108, 08058110288, 08023991354. www.facebook.com/ pastoroloruntimilehin.

Prophet Oloruntimilehin

‘The wisdom of the wise’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 make heaven at last. If you are living a carefree life, you are wasting your time. Hebrew 12:14 says, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” And so, the wisdom that matters is that, we should maintain holiness inside and outside for without holiness you cannot see God. Many people are going to church in order to see God and make heaven at last. Many go to church so as to prepare their soul to enter the kingdom of God when we drop our body. That is the true wisdom and anything other than that is non essential. We must know that Jesus is coming for the church without spot or wrinkle. So, if you claim to be a child of God you must ensure you maintain purity, love and righteousness on every side. Matthew 5:6, 8-9 says, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled… Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” If you want to make heaven you must be thirsty for God’s righteousness, maintain purity of heart, love, and all godli-

ness. There must be holiness inside and outside because the Lord is coming for the church without spot or wrinkle. 1Thess. 5:23 says, “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The Lord is telling you today, that if you must enter heaven, your whole spirit, body and soul must be preserved blameless; there will be no iota of sins because He is coming for the church without wrinkle or spot. Ephesians 5:26-27 says, “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” That is the church Jesus is coming for, a church without spot or wrinkle, without any blemish, a holy church, and you are the church God is talking about, and the Lord is not coming for any believer that is not holy, He is coming for holy brethren, holy church so you need to search your life. If you must meet with God for ever, if you want to walk with God in this life, if you want God to answer your prayer, if you want to be in heaven, you should

understand heaven is holy, Jesus is holy, Holy Spirit is holy, angels are holy and you can’t enter heaven without holiness, for heaven is a holy place for holy people. So if you want to make heaven you need to examine your life in line with what the Scripture says. This is because you cannot be in heaven, without holiness. 1Peter 1:15-16 says, “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” Beloved, God want you to live a holy life inside and outside that is why He said you should be holy in all manner of conversation, in every area of life, in thought, in words, in actions in your dressing be ye holy inside and outside. Ephesians 1:4-5 says, “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will” The point is that we should be holy without spot and wrinkle. So, if you are a Christian, you must maintain holiness because that is the wisdom that matters in order for you to dwell with the Lord. So, in order to have your prayers to be an-

swered and make heaven at last, you must be holy. 1Peter 2:9 says, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:” If we must represent Him, if we must be with Him, I want you to understand we must maintain holiness in and out because without holiness we cannot be with Him, represnt him, dwell with Him, neither can we make rapture. We should be wise to come closer to the Lord and serve Him for that is the wisdom that matters. We must draw closer to Him as we see the days are very close and the end is very near. So, we must draw closer, we must not abandon fellowship, we must not make a relationship with God a kind of Sunday service exercise only, we must do something more than that, all the fellowship that is designed for you all the days of the week in order that you may be sanctified, in order for the Lord to work on you, in order for the Lord to prepare you for rapture and heaven, must be attended by you. Through this you will be endowed with the right wisdom, then, assuredly you will be in heaven at last.

or over two decades, I have carefully observed the growth of Christian profession especially in Nigeria and found out that a lot is wrong. Church work cannot be considered a profession unless the workers go through specially designed training programmes, acquire special skills and certified by a regulatory body.

There are many professions with regulatory bodies but what I found out is that there are more untrained people in church work, people without any specialized skill or competence. Just because of the economic situation in Nigeria, the unemployed and retirees rush into church work to make money. I respect some professionals in Nigeria, these include motor mechanics, plumbers, tailors, vulganisers and photographers because they all go through organised apprenticeship or assistantship for a given period to acquire skills and many of them also receive certificates of competence to practice at the end of the training. Moreover, they have a union that regulates the code of conduct of these practitioners. Some professions like accountancy, medicine and law insist that their professionals after a university education spend a reasonable time with qualified and experienced practitioners to acquire skills and professional experience. Judaism is a religion with temple worship but Christianity is not a religion. It is a responsibility to deliver the message of Jesus Christ to the world and through the power of Holy Spirit in individuals will bring millions of people to Christ. Christianity is not from the womb of Judaism as some theologians wrongly claim. It is a distinctive way of life established by Jesus Christ through the power of Holy Spirit for the transformation of life. The Bible said, ‘’ For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’’ Rom 3 :23. Jesus therefore

hild of God, you play too much defense on the field of life and destiny, and the kind of defense you play is the un-organised, unprepared and panicky type. We have so much arsenals of war at our beck and call but we wait until the enemy has made a strategic and calculated move and hitting us hard in the process before we begin to fight back. We wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places but most times we decide to concentrate on the flesh and blood we see all around. We decide to put up our fight against our bosses in the office, those who offend us, our in-laws, our friends or supposed enemies and our spouses- Ephesians 6:12. We have allowed the enemy to cause so much division, dissention and distraction in our midst and we are not sensitive to these devices of the enemy. We wake up in the morning, and say a brief word of prayer and off we go not minding the heavenly cautions and instructions graciously dropped in our spirits by the

Christian profession, a rare field came ‘’For the son of man came to seek and to save what was lost’’ Lk 19:10. The Bible confirms this when it reveals, ‘’For God so loved the world that he gave one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life’’ Jn 3:16. It is this message of salvation that believers of Jesus are commissioned to spread to everybody and all nations of the world. This message is so spiritual that it cannot be done by an ordinary man except through the power of Holy Spirit. It is confirmed in the Bible, ‘’….God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power and how he went around doing good and healing all that were under the power of the devil because God was with him’’ Acts 10:38. Jesus chose twelve (12) men, trained them for over three years and at the end of the training period, the Bible confirmed that ‘’he gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness’’ Matt 10:1. Note that they were formally trained and their responsibilities were specific. At the graduation ceremony of the apostles, Jesus said, ‘’ As you go, preach this message, The kingdom of heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give’’ Matt 10: 7-8 The books of the gospels state how the disciples who became the apostles after their training went about preaching, teaching and healing because God was with them. Jesus gave these apostles thorough training including how to recognize God of heaven as their father and how to depend on him for their daily supply of food and protection of life. The study of the book of Mathew chapter 6: 5-15 confirms this. The apostles went about and the Bible confirmed that God was with them and added to the church. Many Christian leaders in Nigeria do not have either formal or informal training. They do not know the purpose of Christianity and they give their followers

the impression that Christianity is about belonging to a particular denomination and enjoying fully the blessings of God in this physical world. Churches that have Bible colleges design their courses to teach their doctrines, plant more branches of the church and increase the number of the members. Nigerians are more interested in credentials and not skills hence many Bible colleges are established by business men and women to make money where academic credentials are issued to untrained, half-baked and even unqualified people. Church leadership is now just for anybody, hence the knowledge of the Bible is diminishing and the presence of Holy Spirit is fast disappearing from the church. Jesus Christ has become historical while the spiritual relevance of his death and resurrection has been lost in Christianity. Christian profession is a rare field. Some churches just use their leaders who are not professionally trained to maintain their regular source of income while at the same time helping to pass on the doctrines of the church to innocent members. It is unfortunate that some people believe that a secular government has the right to control Christian and theological education in Nigeria. Any Bible college that is not accredited by a government agent or commission like National Universities Commission (NUC) is considered fake or unrecognized. This impression is not only wrong but it confirms how ignorant some people are. Christian and theological education is faith-based and cannot be controlled or regulated by any secular nation like Nigeria. The Federal Ministry of education has no statutory authority to regulate spiritual education. Religious people including Christians are free to teach their faith, train their workers, assess, regulate their training and issue qualifications that are not secular- related. Christian profession is a rare field. It cannot be understood by non-spirit filled people. It is a call of God for specific purpose, ‘’ There came a man who was sent from God, his name was John. He came as a witness to

testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light, he came only as a witness to the light’’ In 1: 6-8. Joshua after being with Moses for a considerable period of time was considered qualified to lead Israel after the death of Moses. It was stated in the Bible that Paul was called by God on his way to Damascus but it must not be forgotten that he was a student of the famous professor, Gamaliel. Paul was a highly qualified person, so Jesus called him and filled him with Holy Spirit. The call of God is to salvation to save all people of the world and it is a call to service which requires training to work in the gospel ministry of Jesus Christ. The Bible said, ‘’ It was he (Jesus) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up’’ Eph 4:11-12. This bible passage confirms that these officers are specially appointed to ‘’train, prepare God’s people for works of service’’. Today people think more about how to earn money hence, many Bible colleges in Nigeria are affiliated to secular universities so that their products can be absorbed into government employment. In Nigeria where the government is secular, it is improper for courses directed at training church workers or Christian experts to be regulated by non-Christian experts or any commission set up by government that does not believe in any faith. True Christians have the right to know the spiritual, intellectual and academic qualifications of their leaders. Moreover, Christian experts should resist the interference of secular government or its agents in the control of faith-based education. •Prof. Kunle Macaulay is the Director of Studies of United Bible University, Lagos.

Take spiritual responsibility Spirit of God. And while we so lackadaisically do our things, the enemy wakes up midnight, the gate to the new day and begins to speak destruction, division and havoc. He stands up in the morning and places curses on unsuspecting people, organises vessels of abuse, of irritation and many more in the path of his victims for the day. He laces his waist with powerful charms, he defiles his body with unsightly marks of power, he empowers his tongue to give instructions and commands that cannot be refused and also puts an extra jar, powder of protection in his bag, on his wrist or any other place he sees fit and then steps out. Man of God, woman of God, you are more powerful in Christ than all the demons in hell. Christ in you who is the hope of glory has taken total victory over the powers of hell and death Colossians 1:27. Sir/Ma, indeed you now seat with Christ at the right hand of God (Ephesians 2:6) and that is where you operate from. O what a joy to know that God has given unto you all that pertains to life and godliness - 2 Peter 1:3. But the reason why we still suffer casualties and disappointments here and there, set-backs in daily endeavours, unexplainable events and much more is because you are not as prepared for the day, the week, the month or the year as the much as the people of the world. Understand this; God has placed responsi-

bility in your hand to take charge of your life and all that happens to you. Indeed, Jesus overcame the enemy and gave gifts and power unto you - Ephesians 4:8. He has strengthened you to trample on serpents and scorpions and ensured through His power that they cannot hurt you -Luke 10:19. But, oh child of God, until you take spiritual responsibility to dominate your world, you will remain a victim of circumstances. Until you decide to begin to play calculated offense and not unorganised defense then you have not started dominating. Listen to this: the strength of the enemy is not in his power over you, his strength is in his refusal to give up despite the knowledge that he has lost completely and that his time to wreak havoc is short - Revelations 12:12. His strength is his ability to weigh your spiritual strength and know how ready you are per time to his numerous attacks. Do we need to be afraid of the power of this toothless lion? No but we need to be sober, vigilant and cautious of his calculated attempts at undermining our place and our birth right in redemption. That is why I have brought you this message today; the first day in a new week, the second day in a new month, indeed the second to the last month in 2014. I am here by the Holy Spirit to ask you to go offensive and prepare your arsenals of war. I am asked to tell you to make all the arsenals at your call through re-

demption work for you. I am asked to tell you to put up a calculated offense and push the enemy away from your home, your career and your health this week, this month and for the rest of this year. For someone who the enemy is determined to take this year by car accident, if you will believe and say amen, you shall be preserved in Jesus name. For you who the Doctor told that you may not see the end of 2014, right now, I ask you to believe in the report of the Lord, He who has promised to satisfy you will long life and good health has torn that report of death and destruction and has given you a clean bill of health in Jesus name. How do you take spiritual responsibility and fight back? Practically, for every day, take time to speak good into the day; for every week, take a day to pray and fast and keep the enemy at bay; for every new month, take at least three days to settle all that concerns you and for every new year, take quality time between twenty one and forty days to understand the mind of God for you and undo the bands of wickedness targeted at you. •For further prayer & counseling, Please contact: Pastor Femi Lanre-Oke, Jesus Praise Evangelical Ministries International, Plot A22 Power Crescent, Arab road, Kubwa.

MOMENT OF MIRACLES with Pastor W.F

Kumuyi Continued from last week Faith that conquers Hebrews 11:27-29 Our study today reveals faith in action. This is faith that conquers! There is faith that conquers Satan and all his agents; faith that conquers sin and all its consequences; faith that overcomes the world and the flesh; faith that conquers sickness and death; faith that conquers Pharaoh and his army; Egypt and all her magicians; faith that opens a way through the Red Sea; faith that brings permanent deliverance. This is the faith that arrests our attention today. Faith conquers. The faith of Abel conquered sin and he received pardon and witness that he was righteous. The faith of Enoch conquered death and he was translated into the presence of God in heaven. The faith of Noah conquered unbelief and worldliness and he escaped judgment – saved from theflood. The faith of Abraham conqueredhuman reasoning and he passed the greatest test of his life. The faith of Sarah conquered bodily weakness and she received strength to conceive. The faith of Isaac conquered parental partiality and he submitted to God’s ultimate plan. The faith of Jacob conquered

he joy I have is the love of God. He so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son to die on the cross of Calvary to pay the price. He did not owe. He paid the debt He did not owe and we owed the debt we could not pay. That is why a song writer penned these lines.

He paid the debt He did not owe; I owe the debt I could not pay. I needed someone to wash my sins away; and now I sing a brand new song, Amazing Grace all day long, Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay. H e paid it on the Cross of Calvary. He suffered ad people do not appreciate what he went through. When they were caning him, they didn’t know he was paying the price because by His stripes, we are healed. They didn’t know he was paying for all that you committed that brought that incurable sickness. That sickness was whipped away by His stripes. They humiliated him. They gave Him so much pain. If you don’t catch this thing; they overcame by the blood; if you don’t catch the meaning of this, you will not go with anger, then you will say, ‘I should not be in this situation again’. He went through so much trouble before He declared, it is finished. He paid the price. He paid the price by shedding His blood. None of us could have gone through that kind of pain. How can someone who went

The decision of faith (2) human preference and tradition and he acted under divine guidance. The faith of Joseph conquered attachment to Egypt and he fixed his eyes on Canaan. The faith of Moses’ parents conquered the fear of a cruel edict and they preserved the future deliverer. The faith of Moses conquered Egypt and its pleasure and he shook Egypt to its very foundations. Faith conquers! 1. Prevailing over fear by faith Hebrews 11:27; Exodus 10:28,29; Proverbs 19:12; 16:14; Exodus 11:4-8; Proverbs 28:1; Psalm 27:3; Isaiah 35:4; 41:10,11; Luke 12:47,32; Isaiah 51:12,13; Psalms 112:7; 56:3,4,11; Isaiah 12:2. Faith strengthens the heart and delivers us from the fear of man. Faith and fear are opposites, where one is dominant the other is dormant. The fear of man is a negative force, a tool of Satan that weakens and paralyses man. Fear makes a man to tremble before a fellow man and to melt away when faced with duty or divinely appointed responsibility. Faith enables a man to shun the smiles or frowns of men. A man with God-given faith refuses to be discouraged by the greatest problems. Faith survives the fires of satanic assault and flourishes under the dews of the Spirit. “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king” (Hebrews 11:27). When Moses demanded of Pharaoh to let God’s people go, he was not terrified by thoughts of what the enraged king might do. With no army behind him, with no powerful officer in Egypt’s court to support his request, he made his demand to leave Egypt with all the children of Israel. “Not fearing the wrath of the king”. He did not fear man; he did not fear the greatest of men, a king; he did not fear the wrath of the king. His faith in God expelled all forms of fear of all kinds of men. “For he endured, as

seeing Him who is invisible” (Hebrews 11:27). He fixed his eyes on God. By faith he looked constantly at the Invisible One and all visible things lost their terror. “Seeing Him who is invisible” encourages and strengthens our faith. 2. Passed over and protected by faith Hebrews 11:28; Exodus 12:1-7,12,13,2123,27,28; Psalm 78:49-53; 1 Corinthians 5:7; 1 Peter 1:2,18,19,5; Psalms 94:4-8; 125:3; Zechariah 2:8,9. “Through faith he kept the passover” (Hebrews 11:28). The “passover” was an ordinance, the first ordinance, given to Israel by God. It was called the passover because God passed over the Israelites on the night when all the firstborn of Egypt died under God’s judgment. “It is the LORD’S passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt... And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt” (Exodus 12:1l13). That first observance of the Passover was an act of faith. Moses and Israel acted by faith. All the firstborn of the children of Israel were delivered from the Angel of Death because they were sheltered beneath the blood of the lamb. Today, we find pardon and salvation through the Blood of the Lamb, we have purity and sanctification in the Blood of the Lamb as well as protection and security under the Blood of the Lamb. “Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them”. “The sprinkling of blood” has reference to personal application of the blood of the Lamb, by faith.

Believe in Christ and His atoning Blood, then will you enjoy the fulfilment of the promise: “When I see the Blood, I will pass over you”. 3. Passage through the sea by faith Hebrews 11:29; Exodus 14:13-16,21-31; 1 Corinthians10:1; Isaiah 43:2-4; Malachi 3:6; 2 Chronicles 20:17; Jeremiah 32:27,17; Luke 1:37; Mark 9:23. This is faith, living faith, mighty faith, faith that overcomes the devil and escapes evil. ‘O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by many a foe, That will not tremble on the brink of any earthly woe! Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whatever may come, we’ll taste, even here, the hallowed bliss of an eternal home’ (The Broadman Hymnal #277). What an obstacle, what a difficulty, what a problem Israel had before the Red Sea. Hedged in on all sides, the Sea in front, a blood-thirsty army behind, the nation of Israel found herself in an impossible situation. By faith they passed through. They could not fight – they had no strength nor weapons; they could not fly – there was no natural way of escape. Yet, they passed through. When all natural means fail, there is a supernatural means – faith – that provides a way of escape. Observe Moses’ language of faith: (1) “Fear ye not”. (2) “Stand still”. (3) “See the salvation of the LORD, which He will show you today”. What was the result of having implicit faith in God? God “led them by the right hand of Moses with His glorious Arm, dividing the water before them” (Isaiah 63:11-13). By faith we can pass through any Red Sea before us. Fear not; stand still and consider what God can do; see the salvation of the Lord by faith; then “go forward” in obedience to His commands. He has opened the Red Sea. Continued next week

There is a balm in Gilead (3) this far and paid such a price allow us to be in bondage? That is why He said, is there no balm in Gilead? There is a healing balm in Gilead! And that balm is the blood of Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord. He said, ‘Go and preach to all nations’ in Mark Chapter 16, ‘He that believes and is baptized shall be saved1. Why did He say that we should baptize? The only way you identify with the Cross is first that you believe. Believe what? That it is for your sake that Jesus went to the Cross of Calvary. And you are to demonstrate this by going into the water. Repent first and then enter the water. You are dying with Him and you are being buried with Him and He resurrected n the third day. He arose! We will also come out of that water and that is the hope of our resurrection that death could not hold Him captive, so grave will not hold us captive. In the resurrection morning when the death in Christ shall rise we too will rise. He is alive and so we will live forever with Him. That is the benefit of Calvary .Today, are invoking the power of that Cross against any contrary situation. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. The knowledge that gives you deliverance is the knowledge of what happened on the Cross of Calvary. Anytime I fall sick, since I gave my life to Christ in 1989 till now, and since I got to know that there is healing that flows from the Cross of Calvary, I have had no need to go to the hospital because I am sick. I never bothered going to the hospital to find out what is wrong with me. All I do is to go back to the Cross and claim my healing. I tell the Lord that the Bible says

by His stripes I am healed; that He should confirm that His Word is true. He has never failed. And the sickness will get worse, so that I will lose my faith. But I know that God watches over His Word to perform it. Amen. The Lord made me to understand through the teachings of William Branham about how God heals. And when I say healing, I do not mean only physical healing from sicknesses and disease. It includes healing of frustration that we go through; healing of marriages, businesses, finances and other things we could be involved in that is not going well. William Branham tried to let us know that after the prayers, the sickness may worsen; that it is a sign that something is happening, I caught that revelation, so when I pray and the sickness increases in intensity. I am more than revealed to vie up, I will reason that at the beginning, the sickness was not this bad but it only got worse after my prayers, it then means that there is a shaking going on and that is why there is a reaction. In the same vain, after leaving here, tonight, shrines or demons may visit some of you and tell you, ‘so you have gone to the Bride Assembly? You think you can leave me? I must continue with you/. When they speak like that, it means something is happening and you must answer. ‘ So you know I went to Bride Assembly….’, Begin to sing and praise God. How can Jesus go through all that He went through and still watch you suffering? He said we should look unto Jesus, the Author and finisher o our faith. You are entitled

to deliverance because you are a Christian. Also know that once you are a Christian, you are in a battle field. If you must receive any promise of God, you must fight a battle. Amen. There is a gap between God releasing a blessing and the blessing reaching you. That is why from Egypt, there must be a wilderness before the Promised Land. And in the wilderness, there were several battles and the Israelites didn’t go back. Those who were thinking of cucumber and garlic in Egypt did not get to the Promised Land because they were going with their legs but their minds were in Egypt. And every ne of us that will begin to complain of how we had a peaceful and prosperous life before we became Christians , that is your garlic and cucumber and you will never get the blessing of God that He has earmarked for you. Christians don’t murmur and grumble. ‘God and it, I believe it thus saith the Lord I stand on His promise’ This will make us understand why the song writer wrote: HYMN 138- THE SOLID ROCK My hope is built on nothing less That Jesus’ blood and righteousness, I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. Chorus On Christ, the solid Rock I stand: All other ground is sinking sand; All other ground is sinking sand. •Pastor Moses Alu; The Bride Assembly, Odofin Park Estate, Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, Ijesha Bus stop 08033524903 : Email: pastormosesalu@yahoo.com

with Dr. David

elcome to another week on your regular column. We have been exploring how our words determine our place in the realms of the supernatural. This week, we will examine what makes our words powerful. Firstly, it is important to know that what we say is what we see and what we cannot say, we cannot see. Moreover, what we say can completely devalue the revelation we receive from God and His Word. Thus, the signs we command are the products of our words. Remember, the Bible says: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof (Proverbs 18:21; See also Mark 11:23). Therefore, it is important to know that we command the supernatural by engaging our tongues effectively ac-

he LORD said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies (Ps. 110:1-2).

The word “Lord” implies one who have rule, authority and dominion over other creatures. It denotes the ownership and authorship, one who is the possessor of things in its entire ramification. The use of the wordLord is a language of throne and kingship. It is aPrincely identity. It also denotes the master of all things. In (Matt. 22:43-45) “He said unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying “The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? It is evident in this interpretation, that David, though, a king in Israel was not the Lord of Israel but the incarnate Jesus. Lordship is not intended to be used for man since man is owned by someone and he is subjected to that authority. Lordship has a wider sense than mere calling man a Lord. There is nothing that a man has becomethat is without God. The present situation of rebelliousness of creatures against man is the product of sin and man lost his lordship over things. This is the point. ‘Matt.22:4345’ gives us a fair and just interpretation of Psalm 110:1-2that Lordship is about God and Adonai. Jesus the son of the living God was exalted at the ascension to the position of Lordship which was his legal inheritance as the Son of God (Eph 4:10). Also his obedience to the death on the cross of Calvary earned him the name Lord, a symbol of dominion and authority over death and all created beings (Phil. 2:9). In Psalm 110:1-2, the promise of God to the Lord Jesus Christ are in three categories. (i) That the enemies of Christ shall be humiliated and made to bow down and

Commanding the supernatural by the power of the tongue! (3) cording to the terms of scriptures. This is because what we declare is what God confirms. Moreover, whatever is too big for our mouths is too big for our lives. However, it is important to recognize that it is not just saying the words that make it work, but saying it boldly, openly and unashamedly (Mark 8:38; Psalms 119:46; Romans 1:16).The moment we stop saying what we want to see, we stop seeing it. What are the virtues inherent in the words we speak? • The words of our mouths are creative after the order of Christ (Genesis 1:1-31; Proverbs 18:21). • The words we speak are prophetic: The problem is not the issue; what we say is what determines the happenings in our lives (Isaiah 14:24; Mark 11:23; 2 Peter 1:19). • Our words are reproductive: Our words are spiritual seeds sown into our future. What we say today is

what we will see tomorrow. Again, we understand that God’s Words are seeds; thus, when we engage same, our future is guaranteed (Genesis 8:22; Luke 8:11; 1 Peter 1:23). Therefore, the tongue is a mystery that we engage to be in command of signs. The challenges of our lives are not the issue; it is our declarations that determine whether that situation remains a problem or a solution. This is because God cannot do anything outside what we say. Thus, we must be careful what we say because a misuse of our tongues can lead to disuse of our lives (Psalms 81:1015; Luke 21:15). Therefore, by the power of your tongue, I decree your long awaited miracles delivered in Jesus’ name! Are you born again? This means, have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord? If you haven’t, you can do so as you say this prayer: “Lord

Jesus, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the Living God. Today, I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You Jesus for saving me! Now I know I am born again!” For further reading, please get my books: Releasing The Supernatural, Walking In The Miraculous, Commanding The Supernatural.

Church as God designed it -The burden of the kingdom and the throne of Christ on earth – (3) become the footstool of the Son. Footstool literarily symbolizes the submission of the earthly realm to the authority and dominion of the kingdom of Christ in heaven. It is not only an occurrence of Second coming of Jesus Christ, but it is an occurrence of daily submission of the earth to the will and the desires of heaven (Acts 2:35). The earth must make restitution unto God in acquiescence to the instructions and voice of the Holy Spirit. (Is. 66:1-2,). Also, it was clearly stated thus in Acts 3:21; “whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things; which hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began”. The word “receive” is the same word for retain or retention. Christ will be retained in heaven, until a generation arise who will subdue the foes of Christ and subject them to His rule. Presently, rebelliousness thrives in all society of the earth. The very elect are being presented with another gospel in a subtle manner that is entirely different from the gospel of the kingdom. Prosperity and the miraculous are what people are seeking perpetually rather than the kingdom message. This wickedness will stopped when the standard of judgment is raised against it. There must be restitution of all things, implying reformation of things that have been corrupted through the wickedness of men which is orchestrated by Satan. The word restitution is also from the Greek word for “diorthosis” which means to straighten up the curved bones and skeleton. It is an orthopedic word for proper adjustment, re-alignment and reconfiguration. It is going to be one major area of battle between the saints and the perpetrators of this evil of distorting peoples’ allegiance to God. “The LORD shall send the rod of thy

strength out of Zion; rule thou in the midst of thine enemies”. The second promise of God to Jesus Christ is that, a victorious army will be raised up for Christ who shall become the vanguard, the advance squad, the fore runner of his kingship cause. They are fighters and warriors of Christ. Their assignmentis the same assignment of Michael and his angels. The principle of battle between Satan and the angels of God, when Satan rebelled in heaven is being adopted here. “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven” (Rev. 12:7-8). What the earth has witnessed presently is the operation of Satan. His antics of deception were dated to the days of his name as Lucifer. The earth is being deceived by it through crafts and cunningness. Satan orchestrates rebelliousness and disobedience on daily basis. As Satan was stopped in heaven, the army of Christ must stop him before the earth can witness peace. The heavens rejoiced at his cast down while the earth mourns for his presence. Before the salvation of the earth, the army of God must rise up to the battle and fight like the heavens fought Satan. This assignment is for trust worthy Saints, who will be endowed with God’s Spirit and equipped with the strength of God to overcome Satan. They are but Christ soldiers. They will be engaged in the forefront of the battle. The descriptions of such army are men who loved not themselves unto death. “For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh” (2 Cor. 4:11). Apart from the work of denial and the mortification of the flesh, what will be paramount to this

army is the revival of the Spirit. The stronger the control of the Spirit in their lives, the weaker their flesh will become. They must willingly give up earthly kingdom for the heavenly kingdom. The material resources of the earth are not the weapons of engagement to dethrone the kingdoms of this earth. It takes the heavenly materials to do so. The members of Christ army are mystical persons. We see the type of such men amongst the men of David. They were men who were invincible to their enemies. The men of David risked their lives to get a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem situated at the gate for Bethlehem just to satisfy the thirstof David when he was in the hold. These three men broke through the garrison of the Philistines, which could not have been less than 500 foot soldiers and brought drink for their master. This is the kind of army God will raise to subdue the kingdoms of the earth. Nothing shall hinder them to carry out the will of their Master. These are neither miracles seekers nor glory hunters but will witness the unprecedented miracles the earth is yet to witness. They will not seek for gold, yet would lack nothing to prosecute the warfare. They are men with kingdom mentality, not for their profit but for the profit of Christ the Lord. This is the generation that will subdue the kingdoms of the earth and herald the kingdom of Christ to this earth. They are the final hope of this earth before the great and terrible judgements of God are unleashed upon this earth. You can enlist as part of the Jesus army. This is the design of the Church. •Pastor Bola Bello – The Priesthood House, bolabelo@gmail.com 08033704564

Enemies of divine lifting (2)

ast week we discussed one of the enemies of divine lifting and this week we shall discuss the remaining two. 2. FAILURE MENTALITY One of the major forces that fight people is the thought of failure. The devil is the architect of that thought. Many people are full of failure thought. They are always afraid of the unknown. Failure mentality is when an individual has allowed his thinking faculty to become the fountain of failure where he sees and evaluates things negatively. That is when such individual thinks failure, sees failure and breaths failure. His judgment over life’s situation is always failure based. It is as if, every step taken by such an individual is always believed to end in failure. Failure mentality is the engine room of unsuccessful projects. No one knows failure until he has first thought of it. Such people will hardly enjoy divine lifting because they have through their thoughts pitched a tent in the kingdom of failure. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, said he to you; but his heart is not with you. Proverbs 23:7 Nobody is above what he thinks. Your mental picture has a lot to say about the future you will enjoy. Those who think failure always fail in life but those that are conscious of success and are consciously thinking about success do always succeed. Those that are conscious of living in divine health and always think about the price that Jesus paid for their health always live in divine health while those that do always think about sickness even to the point of personalizing some ailments are often on sick bed. Nobody grows beyond what he thinks. If you want to be at the top, always think about it. If you know you are a lion, then do not think like an ant. If you know that God has made you a prosperous being, then you do not need to be thinking about lack and poverty; keep on thinking on the prosperity that God has given you because it is what you think that you will see. Your actions are products of your thoughts. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do ac-

Bishop Opayinka

cording to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. Joshua 1:8 The best way to deal with failure and poverty mentality is to think about the word of God through the meditation of God’s word. Every Child of God should learn to be thinking about God’s word. That is God’s formula for a successful living. Those that will enjoy the lifting of God are people that continually think on the word of God and not the impulse of their situations. You are meant to think on scriptures in God’s word and not your situations. In the above scripture, we see that God instructed Joshua to think on the word of God both day and night. This would make him to be less bothered about what the physical situations around him would suggest. When you engage yourself in meditating on God’s word, you will not have the space to be filled with failure mentality. Meditating on the word of God is the solution to the problem of failure mentality. 3. BAD FOLLOWERSHIP Another thing that fights against your lifting is the thing or the individual that follows you. Whatever follows you will certainly have effect on your future. It could be a curse from your family and even from your community. It could even be an enchantment and incantations from the agent of the devil. And the LORD said to Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

For all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever. And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be numbered. Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to you. Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelled in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar to the LORD. Genesis 13:9-18 When God called Abraham, He did not call Lot but Abraham on his own took Lot along. Lot was a Nephew to Abraham but the calling that God had for Abraham was only meant for him and perhaps his wife. Going with his wife was not the mistake that Abraham made because every man is a fractional being without his wife. He needed his wife to effectively answer the calling of God. But picking Lot along was the extra load that Abraham carried. Lot became a threat to Abraham’s peace as he journeyed towards the fulfillment of his God given calling. Lot’s presence in his life beclouded his sensitivity to the voice of God. His contact with Lot distracted him from enjoying the intimacy that existed between him and God. For Abraham to hear God again, Lot had to depart from him . And the LORD said to Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward… As seen above, Abraham could only hear the voice of God when Lot had left him. One of the reasons why a lot of people in the House of God today do not enjoy divine lifting is because of the people and things that follow them. They keep association that do not mean well for their lives and destinies. Some people keep friendship that brings hardship to their lives. There are people that live with you that do not encourage your spiritual growth. There are friends that do not encourage your fellowship with God’s word. You might delay your lifting so long as you remain in the crowd and perpetuate your union with people that have no regards for spiritual activities. God does not only want to increase your finances,

rather, He also wants to increase your fellowship with Him. He wants you to be available for Him in the place of prayer, personal bible studies, fasting and other spiritual exercise that could enhance your spiritual walk with Him. Those people and things that do not encourage you into growing in the things of God are the satanic followership that you must direct your holy anger to. Lot means anything that distracts you from concentrating on God. And when you lose concentration with God, you will also lose contact with destiny. Lot is a Spiritual Distracter. Do you realize that you have a Lot in your life? Do you know that there are Lots that have been following you up and down? Every life has a Lot. But it is not everybody that has discovered his or her own Lot. Would you summon courage to do what Abraham did with his own Lot? Will you let go of your Lot without looking back? Your Lot could be that small girl in your office. Your Lot could be that boy within your neighborhood. Your Lot could be that man that appear as a so-called Sugar Daddy to you. Your Lot is that man or woman that you spend time with outside your matrimonial home for a reason that your spouse will never know. Your Lot could be that thing that you stole from your office. Your Lot could be those accursed materials that you are hiding beneath your bed. Those things and persons are your Lots. We are living in the Jet age and by implications there are many technological devices that could become one’s Lot. Facebook could be your Lot. 2go chatting could be your Lot. Twitter could be your Lot. Yahoo, whatsapp and BBM chatting could be your Lot. Some people spend time with those communication platforms I outlined above than the time they spend with God. I am not against them. See you next week as we journey to the throne together.

Service the key to a distinctive life Prophet Lai Bamidele, General Overseer of Christ Glorious End-time Evangelical Ministry, AbuleEgba, Lagos, in this exhortation, teaches on the forces of wickedness. Excerpts:

od has no problem in blessing us, if we are ready to dedicate our lives to him. Most of the things we worry ourselves about doesn’t need worry if we can get sold out to God’s cause. It is your dedication to God, that makes for your distinction on earth. There is no point worrying about the things of the world, you should only worry about how you seek God. When you seek him he is the one that will provide all your needs. In the book of Matt. 6:33 the bible says “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you”. When you seek him, he will provide all that you are looking for. It is your commitment that determines the level of your attainment in life. if you take God for granted you will soon be grounded in life. In the book of Daniel 11:22 the bible says “They that do wickelly against the covenant shall be corrupt with flatteries, but the people that do know their God, shall be strong and do exploit. When you make God your main focus, he will make you a living evidence in life.

Many believer’s today choose to serve God because of what they will get or benefit from God. You can know a true God’s server when you see a man that God blesses, and even with that he sees himself as not serving God enough. So many Christians don’t have such a heart. The moment they are faced with little challenge, the next thing you hear is I’ve prayed enough, and I’ve fasted enough, I will no longer go to church again. Whether you go to church or not does not remove anything from God. It is not difficult for God to bless us, but all he’s looking for is a heart that is prepared for him. In the book of Proverb 23:26, the bible says “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. When you see a christian getting angry because he has not gotten what he want at the time he wants it, such a person that says I’m tired of going to church, all the while I’ve been going what have I achieved, check such a person he never loved God in the first place. When you live your life for God’s kingdom, he make you a king on earth. That is why I often say in my messages that

serving God is not by force, but serving God is by choice. Where you place God in your heart determines where God too will place you on earth. By the grace of God and in humbleness to God, at my own small level in ministry whatever I’ve been privilege of God to become in life and ministry is the result of total dedication and commitment to his work and kingdom. No matter how tired I may be, once it is God’s work I make sure, even when it is not covenant I ensure I do what please God. One major problem I observed about Christians today including men and women of God is that the time people were suppose tom use in running after God, you will see them running after men. When you run after men you will miss God in the process, but when you pant after God, he make men run after you. When you run after, God he give you the solutions to men’s problems, and they will sought after you. If you look at the story of Daniel. When Daniel dedicated his life for God, God gave him an uncommon wisdom, an uncommon understanding.

Pastor Bamidele

If you look at the life of the man called Joseph, Joseph’s love of God made him not to fall into the evil trap of his master’s wife i.e portiphar’s wife, and Joseph said “I can I do this wickedness to my God” not even to his master i.e . Joseph has the fear of God in him and God made him to be distinguished in a foreign land. He was a slave but he ended up being a viler Gen 39:9-12. A man’s destiny and future is determined by how you handle it. If you handle your life carelessly or serve God any how, be rest assured that you will end up as nothing. Don’t serve God so that people can commend you. Serve him because of your love for him. •For counselling, contact: Pst_lai@yahoo. com.

he Presiding Overseer, The Way of Reconciliation Evangelistic Ministries (TWOREM) Int’l a.k.a. Prophetic and Solution Chapel, Lagos, Prophet Oladipupo Funmilade-Joel has identified greed, unrighteousness, corruption and covetousness among the political class and Nigerians in general as the bane of the country’s development and must be curbed for the nation to make headway. Funmilade-Joel, who stated this in a release made available to Sunday Mirror lamented on the increasing rate of corruption and societal problems confronting the nation.

Continued from topic 4 of last week

his portrays Jacob as a determined and resolute man child. While Esau was revealed as a convenience, irresolute naïve, lazy and easy going man child. Thus, in course of their lives these observations were proved. One day in Esau’s life, he came back from hunting, because he was farmished, despised his birth right, for a plate of red portage and sold it to his brother Jacob on oath.

With this singular act, we observed that he lacked resolution, and determination to defile the hunger he had, for the safety of his birth right. While on the part of Jacob we still saw that determination to change his destiny, fight for the head which he exhibited in the womb when he pulled the heel of his brother Esau. This time having resolved to have that birth right, he resisted his hunger by exchanging his red portage with his brother’s birth right. Thus, Jacob used what he had to purchase what he did not have, but Esau sold what he had to satisfy his lust. Likewise God expects us to use the weapons of our war fare which he has provided for us in Christ to dash to pieces all the wicked schemes of the enemy against us like a potter’s vessel. Child of God, you must be determined and resolute as Jacob was to change your destiny. It is only when we show sign of dissatisfaction to the situation of things around us that we ask for a change. The Bible says God promises to give us the heathen for our inheritance, and the uttermost part of the earth for our possession. That means, God would retrieve all our blessings in the custody of the heathen back to us. We see ourselves recovering back all that we have lost to satan. That notwithstanding, God promised to give us in an addition every other things we may desire, even to giving the uttermost part of the earth, for our possession. However to get this, we must fight. As I had said earlier, no one can shy away from this battle. We are already born into it; we have no choice, we have no where to go, than to face the realities of life. The Bible says in Matthew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven; suffereth violence and the violent

Baba Sekunderin as the cleric is popularly called urged the President Buhari led government to map out people friendly policies for equitable distribution of wealth and grassroots development with emphasis on agriculture which he claimed would diversify the economy from oil sector. While decrying the nonchalant attitude of Nigerians, Christians in particular, as regards the nation’s polity and the societal ills, the cleric condemned hypocrisy on the part of Christians, noting that divine judgment awaited every one of them on the last day. He tasked religious leaders to do all they

can to strengthen their followers, preach the word of God with vigour and dedication in accordance with God’s teachings and uphold the truth of the gospel at all times. “Citizens irrespective of their faith, should not relent in praying for Nigeria, for the peace and progress of the nation, good governance, and God-fearing leaders and followers, for, prayer changes things, as the altar of prayer is the altar of change”, he stated. He attributed the numerous problems facing the country to the various sins and shamelessness being exhibited both by the leaders and followers, adding that unless

Nigerians turn to God and do His will, no amount of measures taken will solve the nation’s problems. While lamenting on the poor state of infrastructural facilities in the country, the cleric added that Nigerians are suffering from self-induced poverty brought upon the people by successive leadership which never had the interest of the people at heart, despite the abundant natural resources. Baba Sekunderin further tasked religious leaders to pray for the nation’s leadership so that they would overcome every obstacle on the way and lead well, so Nigeria could attain greatness, peace and blessings.

Breaking the powers of evil family altar –(5) take it by force.” Beloveth, it is high time to be violent against the evil powers of your family altar, and recover back from it every of your glory they have caged. The origin of evil family altar Taking a deeper study of this subject, deliverance questions like these may be asked. a) What are the origins of this evil family altars b) Why are these altar’s evil c) Who are these powers attached to these altars The origin of these evil family altar’s could be counted as far back as the time of the fall of the first man and woman, on earth. When Adam and Eve were casted out of the Garden of Eden. Their relationship with God was cut off because of disobedience and sin. We all know that the Garden of Eden was a special garden on this earth which God Almighty carved out of this world, and specially prepared it for the first man and woman which he made, and formed in his image and likeness. God put them in that garden because they had the glorious image of God on them. Every other creatures God made inhabited the whole universe, outside the garden because they were not fashioned in the image of God. However when Adam and Eve disobeyed the order of salvation and decided to walk in their own way, they were found unworthy to be in that garden, God therefore casted them out of the garden. The Garden rejected them because corruption was found in them. When they eventually found themselves in the open world, having lost divine relationship with God Almighty they were spiritually naked, and needed protection. Devil and his Angels, who were already in the world having been casted out of heaven had easy access into their lives. In Revelation 12;9,12 “And the great dragon was casted out, the old serpent called the devil and satan. Which deceiveth the whole world, he was casted out into the earth, and his Angels were casted out with him. Therefore rejoice, ye heaven and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea, for the devil is come down unto you having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. The devil and his Angels were already waiting for them. Therefore when Adam and Eve were eventually casted out of the garden being the very thing devil

worked for. The devil and his Angels were very happy and decided to have them as meat. When the relationship Adam and Eve had with God in the garden was breached, they became empty helpless and vulnerable to every attack of devil. In Genesis chapter 6:5-6 The Bible say “And when God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on earth and it grieved him at his heart” As a result of high level of vulnerability of Adam and Eve devil with his fallen Angels had uncontrollable manipulations of their hearts and that of the entire human race then existed. This resulted to the great wickedness of man and every thoughts and imaginations of his heart became greatly evil. Man, in attempt to reconcile back to God began to search for the way of worshipping and pleasing God. In Genesis chapter 4:3-5, the Bible says “And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering. But unto Cain and his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth and his countenance fell. “This is one of the ways men that lived during the dispensation of Adam searched for ways of reconciling back with God through different forms of worship and sacrifices. However, unfortunately man was misled into a wrong form of worship, by those fallen Angels that fell with satan from heaven. This wrong form of worship gave birth to what we now call evil altars immediately, this was done, those Angels whose names were changed to demons when they fell on earth, sat upon those evil altars receiving sacrifices as god and goddesses. As time went by, these evil altars began to be decentralized from towns, to villages, communities, kindreds and finally to family evil altar. Beloveth, there is one fact, I would like you to take note of as I was explaining the origin of this evil family altars. This fact is that, God casted Adam and Eve out of the Garden of peace, joy and happiness, simply because they corrupted that glorious image they had with God in creation. Being that they had glory in them in verse 28 of chapter one of Genesis, God blessed them. “And God blessed them and God said unto them, be fruitful and multi-

ply and replenish the earth, and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Dear child of God, I would like you to note from this character of God, that he is only interested in blessing those people that has his image. Adam and Eve had his image, he blessed them. When they lost that image he casted them out. I may not know your relationship with God now, whether you are among those he has casted out because they have lost his image, or you are among those, that still enjoys his blessing because you still retain his image. Why are these altars evil? These altars are evil because they do not represent the through form of worship of Almighty God. We all know that when anything does not fall within the directive of God, God is not there. Being that these altars defiled the formality of the true altar of God, God absented himself from it. Devil with his demons who are looking for those to worship him, quickly occupied the space, and began to answer gods and goddess. Testimonies My husband bought a brand new car I joined this church when things were very bad for me and my family. My marriage was shaking badly. I had spent close to 5 years without a child. We lived in Victoria Island because of the situation of things we packed down to Ijegun. When I met the man of God, he told me that I should not be afraid God would restore back the glory of my marriage and that I shall be blessed with fruit of womb. Not long I conceived and gave birth to bouncing baby of my choice. Today God has actually restored back the glory of my marriage. Presently my husband lives in Ajao Estate, he works in a very good company last week, he called me that he has brought a new car. When I got there it was a brand new car. Things have actually turn around for good for me and my family. I have got another place of job, which is more attractive than the place I worked before, praise the Lord!

Pope decries destruction of rain forest

atholic Pontiff, Pope Francis has appealed to the Brazilian catholic congregation to refocus their energies and create a united Amazon face for the church as well as protect the rights of the Amazon’s indigenous peoples and their lands. Pope Francis made this appeal recently while addressing an audience of Brazilian bishops, social and political elites as he touched upon several topics, including the environmental crisis in

Endtime Revelation with Bishop Bernard

Ojemeni (JP) (i.e. the great tribulation period.)

ll things being equal, based on our calculation from 6,000 years man’s earth lease, the last 3½ years to the end of this present world begins from 2036½ years A.D. – 2040 A.D. This period is the worst period of catastrophe, calamity, tragedy, crisis, etc. the world has ever witnessed. Jesus spoke about this period in Matthew 24:20-22 “But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” The prophet Zephaniah prophesied about this period in Zephaniah 1:14-18 “The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.” Jeremiah 30:7 “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.” Before we look at what the book of Revelation in the analysis we are treating, I would like to say something about the elect Jesus mentioned that for their sake the great tribulation will be shortened. The elect in the passage refers to the children of Israel. The children of Israel entered into a 7-year peace treaty with the anti-Christ which he brokered between them and their Arab neighbours at the beginning of the 1st 3½ years. Towards the beginning of the 2nd 3½ years, he will go to the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and will sit as God and demand that the Jews will offer sacrifice to him and should stop the daily sacrifices. Daniel 12:11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that

the Amazon Basin. In his speech, he praised the Catholic Church’s long presence in the Amazon, via missionaries and religious congregations, and appealed to the Brazilian congregation to refocus their energies and create a united Amazon face for the church. For several years, individual priests and nuns have focused their energies on the rights of the Amazon’s indigenous peoples and their lands for some time,

as the 2005 case of murdered nun and activist Dorothy Stang illustrated. But with the current levels of deforestation, biodiversity loss, and other ecological problems facing Brazil’s rainforest, Pope Francis added his own voice to the pleas to protect the basin, stating, “I would like to invite everyone to reflect on what Aparecida said about the Amazon Basin, its forceful appeal for respect and protection of the entire creation which God has entrusted to man,

not so that it be indiscriminately exploited, but rather made into a garden”, said Francis. Pope Francis also met with members of an indigenous tribe that is being threatened by the growth of ranching in their remote, rainforest home. They shared with him stories of habitat destruction and eviction, and he expressed genuine concern at the plight of both these tribes and the rainforests they inhabit.

The unfolding events in the 2nd 3½ years after rapture Bishop Bernard Chukwuma Mbamalu Ojemeni, General Superintendent of Endtime Believers’ Ministry Inc, in this piece, gives an insight into the New World Order. Excerpts: maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days”. Daniel 9:27 “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Matt. 24:15 “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)” You see because the anti-Christ made the terms of the peace treaty to favour Israel, the Jews took him as their Messiah in the 1st 3½ years and at the beginning of the 2nd 3½ years, when he now asked them to sacrifice to him, they said no. They now knew he was not their Messiah and they fell out with him. The anti-Christ and his soldiers will fight against Israel and will capture 2/3 of Israel before Jesus and the armies of Heaven invade the earth to save God’s elect – the Jews and to overthrow the anti-Christ before the judgment of nation commences. Today, the Dome of Rock, the Moslem mosque is built on the temple site and the Jews are insisting that their new temple will be built on the same spot. No matter what happens, after rapture the anti-Christ, the Jews and the Arabs will sort themselves out. But one thing is clear that the rebuilt temple will take place during the 1st 3½ years. Even though we heard that the Jews are already gathering materials for the building of the temple. You see why Jesus said the Jews will pray that their flight will not be in winter or on a Sabbath day. The weather in winter will be adverse and the Jews’ observance of Sabbath will limit the extent to which they will want to run to escape the onslaught of the anti-Christ. Note: The bride of Christ or the 5 wise virgins will be raptured before the signing of the 7 years peace treaty. While the 5 foolish virgins or the tribulation saints will operate in the 1st 3½ years and will eventually be killed by the anti-Christ and his global police or guards as the case may be for their refusal to comply with his New World Order Policy of receiving the name, mark and number of the beast (anti-Christ). The name of the beast will be known when he emerges. He is a Grecian Jew and so no matter what people think about the role or the significance of Greece in the Euro-zone, it does not matter. Daniel 8:21-25 “And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms

shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” After all, that is how Bethlehem is the least among Judah, yet came the Prince of princes. Matthew 2:1-6 “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.” When Andrew called Nathaniel to come and see Jesus, what did he say? “Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? And so at the fullness of time his name will be known; He was believed to be born in 1962 with constellation of stars in a circle form. That is the symbol of European Union – the bloc that will produce him. If you ask me, I may tell you that stars in a circle form has spiritual connotation and that may be the mark of the beast. When I see countries with stars in circle form at the back of chair of the Presidents of nations and sometimes on the floor of council of States meetings include our nation Nigeria, it becomes a question begging for an answer. Then of course, the number is known. 666. Revelation 13:16-18 “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six.”

In the analysis of the book of Revelation, chapter 6:1-2 cover the events of the 1st 3½ years. While from Revelation 6:3 is the beginning of the 2nd 3½ years. It is the opening of the 2nd seal. When the second seal was opened, John saw a man on a red horse and power was given to him to take away peace from the earth that the inhabitants of the earth will begin to kill one another and a great sword was given to him. Revelation 6:4 “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.” You see the peace the anti-Christ brought in the 1st 3½ years was tentative. It did not last. The enjoyment of his New World Order where he tricked the people of the world to receive his identity for free food, health, shelter, social activities and infrastructure as dividends of democracy will be short lived. Meanwhile, the people have been chipped and it is mark of eternal torment in eternal fire. Revelation 14:9-12 “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” No wonder I Thessalonians 5:3, says “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” When the people of the earth shall say peace and safety, sudden destruction will come upon them as travail upon a woman with child and they shall not escape. In conclusion, if you know you have not repented from all your sins, please do so now and give your life to Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour.

Today’s article its search light on Jacob’s birth and life. Jacob was the twin brother of Esau and both of them were the children of Isaac and Rebecca. When both of them were in Rebecca’s womb, there was a prophecy concerning their fate. The prophecy shows that Jacob highly is favored by God than his twin brother, Esau. Malachi 1:2-3 which read thus: “Yet, I loved Jacob, and hated Esau’’ confirm the prophecy. [Romans 9:13]. In spite of the good promises he received from God while he was still in his mother’ womb, he wanted to make himself prosperous through his self efforts and the solid support he received from his mother. he supplanted his brother twice; he took his brother’s birth right and his blessing from him.(Gen 27:36) how was the able to succeed in his adventure ? it will be observed that their parents Isaac and Rebecca had divided their matrimonial home into two. The father showed his love for Esau while the mother pitched her tent with Jacob. This is a great lesson to parents. It is natural for parents to love one child more than

ne day as l was sitting in my office, the end of the day bell of the nursery and primary school beside me rang. I saw parents coming in to pick their kids, among them a woman who came in to pick her daughter, as she was coming back; holding on to her daughter’s basket of cooler and flask, her daughter was joyfully running along in front of her. Suddenly she fell into the mud dirtying all her uniform. The mother though shouted on her, immediately carried her to the school water tap, clean her up, and change her clothes, before taking her home. For some minutes l was ruminating on the scene when l had an understanding, which l will like to share with you. Isaiah 66:13 says, “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted....” You are the little girl jumping up and down joyfully. Why, because according to Psalms 105:43, “....he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:” As children of the Most High you are created to exhibit joy and praises of God. Esther 8:16, “The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.” That is

Wait for God’s appointed time the other but should be shown to them as this can cause enmity between or among them.(Mathew 12:25) His efforts failed him woefully as Esau wanted to kill him. It was on account of that Jacob was sent to his mother’s brother lab an to live with him. His uncle later employed him to look after his flock of sheep. It was also there he showed interest in Rachel and proposed to marry her. But what happened? His in-law uncle lab an gave in marriage to him , Rachael’s elder sister . As this did not please him, Jacob had to serve for another seven years in order to marry Rachael. Jacob supplanted his twin brother and he was also deceived twice. And Adonibekez said three score and ten kings having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table ; as I have done, so God hath requited me’’. Judges 1:17.Having been well blessed in laban’s house, he decided to leave there because of the rift between him and his in law / uncle without informing Laban, he left him which aroused Lagan’s anger. But for the covenant of Abraham and Isaac which was re-established with him, he would have forfeited everything he had including his wives and children to Laban. [Gen 31:29]. Jacob’s travail did not end there; Laban accused of stealing his idols. However, unknown to him, Rachael has stolen her father’s idols which later served as snare to her ; she died while she gave birth to Benjamin to bring to pass Jacob’s curse on whoever stole Laban idols.[Gen 31:32] Remember what Jacob gave to his brother Esau when they met for the first time after

a long time of separation in order to secure his favor. Do not try to defraud. If you are destined to become rich in life, the almighty God will not hesitate to fulfill his purpose for your life. But if you want to cut corner, you will live to regret your action. Wait on the Lord at the appointed time; Gods purpose for your life will come to pass. But Zion said, the Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me, can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the child of her womb? Yea , they may forget ,yet I will not forget thee. Behold I have given thee upon the palms of my hands; thy wall are continually before me”.[Isaiah 49:14-16]. Learn from those who have amazed wealth through fraudulent means. They die a head of their time. Some are bed ridden for a number of year before they die eventually. There are some who have ended up being in jail because of their morbid ambition to become rich. ‘’A faithful man shall abound with blessing; but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent’’. Proverb 28:20 Give heed to the advice of the greatest teacher, Jesus Christ to seek the kingdom of God first and all other things shall be added unto you.[Mathew 6:33] All the wealth accumulated by Jacob could not secure him joy and happiness as he moved from one sorrow after another. Imagine the grief he passed through when he was told that Joseph had been killed. His wealth could not prevent severe famine he encountered in land of Canaan, the Promised Land. It was this famine that forced him and his children to relocate to Egypt.

‘An inheritance may be gotten hasty at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed’’. Proverb 20:21 Do your possible best and leave the rest to God. Put your trust in him; accept Jesus Christ as your lord and personal savior. Learn to praise him always and appreciate him for the little favour you have receive from him, he will not let you down. It is God’s blessing that will last forever. It is God’s blessing that brings no sorrow. It is God’s blessing that you can boast of openly. It is God’s blessing you can leave behind for your children. Let the almighty God be your guide and allow him to lead you to the right path.[Psalm 32:8, Roman 8:14] In your morbid ambition to become rich, you may fall victim to doublers hands thereby becoming poorer than ever before. Be satisfied with what you have gotten. ‘But they will be rich fall into temptation and snare, and unto many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is root of all evils; which some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, Godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness’’. 1 Timothy 6:911. With time, fortune will smile on you will be celebrated.

God can lift you out of the mud why no matter what happens to you as you move along in this Christian race, don’t complain, don’t murmur receive it all with joy for the Bible in Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” However, in the process of great joy, it is possible unknowingly you find yourself in the mud. God is always ready to pick you, clean you and put on you another garment. But there are some issues here:1. Some fell into the mud and kept on playing in it, enjoying it. Even when they try to pull them out, they start crying and shouting that they should be left alone to enjoy the mud and not to upset them the more they are allowed. 2. Some when inside the mud will start crying, having self pity. When they want to take them out they believe they just can’t come out, not ready to cooperate and getting tired of them, they will leave them in the mud. Having self pity and condemnation of themselves. Romans 8:1, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” 3. Some when inside the mud, no matter the cry or shout, even when they are screaming at the top of their voices they have no one to help them. Even those around them are not ready to

help them out, mainly because they are disconnected from the main helper. 4. Some are been helped out of the mud but left without been cleaned up, because they didn’t want it. 5. Some are helped out of the mud, washed but no garment to change them into; thereby they had no choice than to still go about with the old cloth. Isaiah 61:10, “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” 6. Lastly some who fell into the mud are been helped out of it, washed and clothed anew. When we talk about mud, we are talking about those things that are messy, dirty, filthy and bad. That is, things such as sin, wrong behaviors, wrong habits and immorality. The sadden aspect is that when God is stretching forth His hand to pull you out of the mud, many are not ready. The main point is that He wants to get you back home safe and clean. Yes, you knowingly or mistakenly got yourself involved in pre-marital sex or abortion or robbery or immoral act etc. God is set to pick you up. Psalms 104:31, “The

glory of the Lord shall endure forever, the Lord shall rejoice in his works.” No matter the number of abortion you’ve done, no matter your deep involvement in lesbianism, masturbation etc if you are ready to raise up your two hands, telling Him here am l, am ready, pick me up, He will surely do it. Micah 7:18-19, “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger forever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” 1 John 1:9-10, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” You have fallen into the mud of fornication, adultery, abortion or wrong marriage etc, God can bring you out, just give him the chance to do it and He will change your story, restore you back with great glory and honour. •You can send in your QUESTIONS and the Holy Spirit will be set to give you the ANSWERS.

Issue of energy theft on front burner as IBEDC, customers engage BOLADALE BAMIGBOLA OSOGBO

oor returns over energy supplied to customers as a result of bypassing and other forms of energy theft dominated discussions at the recently held community relations’ meetings organised by the management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, IBEDC, in the five business hubs of the company across Osun state. Series of meetings where stakeholders in energy sector in the state met and discussed way forward, commenced at Ikirun Business Hub and later moved to Ilesa, Ife, Ede before ending it in Osogbo. Participants at the meetings who were mostly government representatives, community leaders, religious leaders, artisans and officials from all business hubs in Osun, while laying series of complaints before IBEDC management, complained of poor and irregular power supply. Of note is that the management of IBEDC at the customer relations meeting held at the Ikirun business hub launched whistle blower campaign to check corruption among staffers and customers. Addressing the meeting, Osun Regional Commercial Manager of the company, Mr. Olayinka Oyinloye, said IBEDC, af-

ter operating for over 18 months observed gap in information between the electricity supply industry and the customers. He urged people to take advantage of the company’s whistleblowers campaign and report illegal acts of any of its staff, contractors or fellow customers by using the email-audit@ocean-ms. com, phone no-(call & sms)08056998751,08078603774. Oyinloye also warned against illegal acts of electricity bypassing and tampering, adding that illegal consumption of electricity without payment would be detrimental to the plan to ensure regular power supply for the people. Speaking in similar vein, the Community Relations Manager of IBEDC, Mr. Shadrach Akinbodunse, said illegal act of electricity bypassing constitutes problems for good customers, charging them to report any form of illegality to the laws enforcement agencies or the IBEDC management for necessary action. At the Ilesa business hub stakeholders’ meeting, management of IBEDC after listening to series of complaints ranging from low voltage and irregular supply of electricity, from the customers, warned against engaging unqualified people to rectify faults or reconnect disconnected houses.

Grand Cereals boss proffers solution to bird flu pandemic JAMES ABRAHAM JOS

or farmers to overcome the effect of bird flu in the country, the need for them to key into insurance scheme has become imperative. The Managing Director, Grand Cereals, Mr. Layi Oyatoki, told journalists in Jos said that already the company has initiated an insurance scheme to insure farms against the dreaded bird flu. He said the company decided to initiate the scheme to provide a soft landing for farmers when the dreaded disease struck.

He disclosed that 1. 5 million birds belonging to 438 farmers were killed during the outbreak of the disease early this year. The MD stated that the information from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources indicated the outbreak was recorded in 18 states with an average of 3200 birds per farm. According to him, birds that were infected were killed (farms depopulated) to avoid the spread of the disease. He stated that many farmers were put out of business as their means of livelihood was destroyed

as a result of the outbreak which claimed farms. Oyatoki explained that the insurance would encourage both old and new farmers to continue with the poultry business with the assurance that they have something to fall back in the event of an outbreak “The insurance is absolutely free for farmers who have up to 500 birds; the company will pay the premium on their behalf provided they are using the Grand Cereals’ feed (vital feed) consistently. “Our intention is to cover any farmer using vital

feed; we don’t have a ceiling for the number of farmers that we intend to cover. “The Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC) is covering the cost of raising a bird from pullet to lay at the cost N1450 per bird, and the company is paying the premium of four percent of the amount. “When there is an incident, Grand Cereals would be the one to pursue the insurance company to pay the claim to the farmer. “It is easier for the company to pursue the claim on behalf of the farmers than

them doing it themselves and the claim settlement would be prompt. “We want to tell farmers that we are a company that cares, we are not just traders we are manufacturers and we believe that as feed manufacturer, if there are no birds then we will not be in business,’’ He pointed out that any farmer the uses the company’s feed wherever he or she is residing in Nigeria is qualified to benefit from the scheme. The MD explained that although the bird flu had appeared to be receding, it

was not the first time the country would experience the outbreak of the disease. “In 2006 there was an outbreak of bird flu in Nigeria and in 2007 it was stamped out and people taught it will never happen again. “For this kind of disease you don’t know when it will happen and therefore it is better for you to be prepared all the times,’’ He advised poultry farmers who have up to 500 birds to pick up the insurance forms fill and submit and avoid a situation that they would be taken unawares.

Imperativeness of ECOWAS integration and development EJIFOR O. MARTINS

COWAS, as a regional integration umbrella for West African States, stands a better chance of bringing development and trade cooperation among memberstates. To integrate in this context, means to bring the nation-states of the region together into a whole, and remove barriers imposing segregation, to fit together and mix people freely with other groups in the society. Therefore regional integration deals with the economies, peace keeping scheme, and free movement of the people of the region. For the scheme to be effective, it has to break down trade barriers that is, the removal of tariff and no-tariff restriction, so as to develop and sustain trade from within the region. The reason for such integrative scheme is because the West African sub-region is quite endowed with natural resources, yet it is the list developed and most impoverished region in the world, owing to the pace with the integrative parading of the other regions of the world. The reasons of its slow integration process, according to Bolarinwa, J.O. (2005) (USL. 4. pp211-242), “ECOWAS which is supposed to be the biggest integration scheme out of about 40 single-purpose and multipurpose inter-government organizations (IGOS) that dot the West Africa Landscape”, instead of integrating and having trade cooperation with member-states, they prefer to have trade relationship with foreign nations or foreign regional bodies, such as European Union, thereby making it difficult for trade cooperation and development within the region. The other case is the case of terrorism of the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria a member of ECOWAS. Nigeria who has been playing the role of a big brother in the area of peace

keeping was dealt devastating blows of several bomb attacks by the Haramist. ECOWAS integration scheme would not find a solution of peacekeeping saving Nigeria from the ugly situation; instead it called on foreign nations for assistance. Regional integration is supposed to be that which requires states to make certain political and economic sacrifices and commitments towards unity, economic and political cooperation among member-states. The problem with ECOWAS is that, as an integration scheme, it has been slow in fostering regional cooperation and development. Some nations of the region find it difficult for free movement of people in the region, due to their economic policies. A situation whereby a citizen who is traveling from Ghana to Nigeria through the borders, may not get to Lagos before dark, due to the traveling processes at the borders, and numerous police and government official check-points from the border area to the cities. In such event, the institution of a Custom Union with only scanty attention given to the crisis of dependency and underdevelopment in the sub-region has resulted to restriction of goals of integration largely to the economic domain with emphasis on purely economic performance as key indicators of integration. Trade is a major determining factor of regional integration and development, so that if restrictions are removed and there is a free flow of trade and people within the region, underdevelopment and unemployment would be threatened. But a case whereby trans-border trades within the region buy their goods from one neighboring country to the other, and because of restrictions and high tariff, traders tend to go through unapproved routes, invariably, that turns the trade activities to smuggling and because of the risk involved, the price of goods becomes

exorbitant and that affects the consumers. This is so because corruption is at its peak. That brings to another case whereby the ECOWAS integration scheme has been slow in handling the issue of economic and political integration within the region. Political leadership within the region has for long been embedded with corruptive tendencies. A situation whereby bribes and other evil vices, are attributed to the scheme. For example the football association (WAFU) of the region has been reportedly involved in corruption and during the appointments of its leadership, several scandals have been reported. So are other institutions of ECOWAS too. Accordingly, trade is a major determinant of economic growth, development and regional cooperation among member-states. According to World Trade Organization (WTO, 2007) report, recently, many African countries opened their economies to international trade, whether through the multinational trading system, increased regional cooperation, or as part of domestic reform programs, which have brought economic benefits to many countries and citizens. The relationship between trade openness and economic growth has been subjects of considerable analysis. The majority of it suggests a positive correlation between the two, and can influence growth through several ways, such as: i. By the transmission of technology or technological innovations. ii. Exposure of the domestic producers, adoption or imitation of foreign technologies and incorporating them in the production process. iii. It helps to transmit technological innovation and knowledge among trading parties. (Grossman and Help man, 1991). iv. Trade liberalization contributes to economic growth by creating incentives economic growth for government to adopt, less

distorting domestic policies and more disciplined management of the macro economics. There is correlation between trade and development, and that has contributed immensely to the development of nations over the years. Trade openness has been instrumental to economic growth, especially in many South-Eastern Asian Countries, and in relieving their regional poverty and one insolvent South-East Asian has become some of the world’s economic leading regions of note. Various Custom Union regimes have been lunched in African regional economic communities to stabilize and remove tariff and non-tariff trade restrictions. Harmonize Customs duties and internal taxes; facilitate trade, through information and promotional services and abolish restrictions to the movement of people, goods, services, and investments across the borders. West African Nations-states such as Nigeria, Republic of Benin, Ghana, Cote d’ivoire, etc. continue to demand high tariff on imports, even from their neighbors, thereby making trade cooperation, employment and development difficult. They persist in applying non-tariff barriers and impose quantitative restrictions, and trade-flow becomes slow within the region. However for development and regional cooperation, and for the ECOWAS sub-region states to be at the same economic and developmental pace with rest of the regions of the world, it is apposite that there should be trade cooperation (trade without borders), free movement of the people of member-states, the removal of trade/tariff restrictions. Then it will go a long way for structural, as well as human development within the nations of the region. •Ejifor O.

was working on the manuscript of a book early this week when I stumbled on an article I kept filed away sometime last year. Titled, ‘Children of Biafra,’ and written by Siji Jabbar and Atane Ofiaja, the piece is an expose on an ‘Echezona Project’ being conducted by a US based non-profit group, Igbo League.

The league says that it is in the process of identify Nigerian children of Igbo extraction who were airlifted out of the eastern heartland during the civil war between 1967 and early 1970. As part of the war strategy taken against secessionists, the Nigerian military implemented a blockade that stopped food and medicine getting into Biafra. The intention was to starve Biafra into defeat. The blockade affected the elderly and children, the most vulnerable, of course. Thousands of children died from starvation and malnutrition. At one point, an estimated 1,000 children were dying daily. In fact, photo images of the war to the world outside that of the Biafran enclave

were disturbing images of heavily malnourished and distended bellies of kwashiorkorstricken children. These images created a rallying cry for action and humanitarian relief. But what isn’t as widely known as the relief efforts is that many orphans and malnourished children were airlifted out of Biafra to relief camps in various African countries. Most of the children were taken to relief camps and feeding centers in Gabon, Ivory Coast, and Sao Tome. Many Biafran children were nourished back to health in these camps. UN puts the figures of children lifted out of Biafra in this manner at more than 3, 000. Sadly, then head of state, Yakubu Gowon, did not take steps to return these children back to their families after the war. The Igbo League in US have chosen the task not only to track these children born in that unfortunate period but also reuniting them (who are all adults now) with their loved ones. Reading the article once again, I couldn’t but draw some lessons from it to address the current controversy over the sudden ‘resurfacing’ of Radio Biafra after more than four decades after the war. But unlike the war period, the station, in peace time, now operates on what may be assumed as a pirate wave length. And while at it, the station has been spewing so much of very unsettling Biafran sentiments. As at early this week, government says it has been able to jam signals of the pirate station. Except from people of eastern extraction in the main, the broadcasts on the station and particularly its director, a certain Nnamdi Kalu, have drawn very critically harsh reviews and understandably so. The country has enough on its plate with the

insurgency in the North. We also barely managed a peaceful election after highly tensed campaign periods that raised ethnic tension in the country. So for many, things that tend to draw attention to the bloodshed of the civil war, divisiveness and strife is not what should be celebrated at this point in time. But the clamp down on the station and hounding of the sponsors of the pirate broadcast station is, to say the least, an awfully bad idea.Yes, federal government and those peeved with the broadcasts of Radio Biafra may say that whoever is behind the hosting of the station does not have the best interest of the corporate existence of Nigeria at heart. But then, the broadcast can only gain currency among listeners if they see any need for the corporate existence of Nigeria. Clamping down on the pirate station can only further fuel support for them as it is already the case so far. BBC has reported on the radio station more than six times already in the last few days. As a matter of fact, people in the social media still report that the station is still very much on air. Thankfully, Kalu is not trying out the Boko Haram option. Rather, what he is doing is harnessing a four decade old grief of a people. All Federal government needs to do is to give its listeners cause not take Kalu serious. Having said all these, the truth is that the Biafran story and experience cannot be wished away unless there is genuine effort on the part government to take the interest of its citizens as important. The civil war pains for the Igbo nation is still very much an open and festering wound that has simply refused to heal.

The blame for this directly goes to the Nigerian state as whole. The starkest demonstration of this is the Echezona activities on the lost Biafran children. Siji Jabbar and Atane Ofiaja, in that compelling article of theirs aptly captured the failure of Nigerian government in its duties to its own citizens. This, taken context with the Boko Haram menace explains why citizens are given to pandering to dangerous and divisive whims. In ‘Children of Biafra, the authors wrote: “Their [Igbo League] goal is to cross-examine their compiled database with the UNHCR’s database of the children who were returned to their families. In addition, locating burial sites of children who did not survive in the relief camps is also part of the agenda, so that DNA analysis can be conducted in order to at least bring some closure to many families. “While the Igbo League is a fine and noble organization, in an ideal world a non-profit should not be leading the movement to reunite these children (now adults) with their families, Nigeria should. Like many things in Nigeria, the government has failed to address issues affecting its own citizens. Those who don’t learn from the mistakes of the past are bound to repeat them. Is Nigeria learning? “Will Nigeria remember Biafra’s forgotten children? Lest we forget, it was a Nigerian government that tried to starve them all to death in the first place. Acknowledging the existence of the forgotten Biafran children would mean that the Nigerian government would have to acknowledge her war crimes as well.”

Child Jihadist slaughtering captured Syrian soldier

Child fighters participating in mass execution in Palmyra

Cubs of the Caliphate: ISIS child executioners D

epraved jihadis fighting for the Islamic State have forced a young child to savagely behead a Syrian regime army officer in the first execution of its kind.

The sickening murder is understood to have taken at the Western Hir Palace in the province of Homs after the soldier was captured by jihadis at the nearby Al-Bosayri army checkpoint. The unnamed officer is believed to have been a regime leader in the ancient city of Palmyra, which ISIS captured in May and have since set about about systematically destroying as they believe the city’s several millennia-old buildings and monuments distract from the worship of God. ISIS have increasingly used young boys in their gruesome executions, with some children no older than 12 being forced to shoot the terror group’s opponents at point blank range. However using a child to carry out a brutal beheading with a knife is a sickening new low for ISIS. Video of the incident has been shared by ISIS supporters on social media and shows a child no older than 10 carrying out the brutal beheading. Wearing camouflage and a black headdress, the boy’s face is uncovered revealing a chilling dead-eyed stare that

Jihadists force 10-year-old boy kill captured Syrian soldier

ISIS using more child soldiers to execute captives offers a glimpse of the evil he has witnessed carried out by ISIS’ killers. The regime soldier is seen being forced to lay on his stomach as the young boy approaches him from behind, pulls his head back by the hair, and uses a small knife to slit the man’s throat and set about beheading him. In a moment of true horror the child then lifts the victim’s severed head in a warped celebration of the brutal murder. He then places the head on the victim’s back. Throughout the entire killing, a senior ISIS fighter is seen observing the shocking scene. At the end of the video the older militant turns to the camera and makes a chilling threat to the West. ‘Our goal is not only Palmyra or Homs or Damascus, rather our goal is to conquer Bayt al- Maqdes [Jerusalem] and Rome, God willing,’ according to the UKbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, who say they were sent a copy of the video. Today’s savage murder is not the first time ISIS have used young boys to commit a sickening murder. It isn’t even the

first time the terror group has employed child executioners in Palmyra. But observers believe the latest shocking video features the first young boy forced to carry out a filmed beheading on behalf of the Islamic extremists. Earlier this month ISIS released an execution video from inside Palmyra, showing 25 child executioners lining up regime soldiers in a Roman amphitheatre and shooting them in the head. A baying crowd of men and boys gathered in the restored ruin waiting for the slaughter, many wearing military uniforms and headscarves. The amphitheatre had formerly been used for an annual festival in the city and was a world famous tourist attraction before the Syrian Civil War broke out in 2011. ISIS seized control of the UNESCO world heritage site from regime forces in May. Since then it is believed the terror group has been using it to stage hundreds of barbaric public executions. ISIS’ child killers are dubbed ‘cubs of the caliphate’ and have proven to be an increasingly common propaganda tool for a group determined to prove itself

as the most depraved in human history. The first confirmed example of child executioners being employed by ISIS is believed to have been in January, when two children shot dead a pair of former jihadis who ‘confessed’ to being spies operating undercover within the terror group on behalf of Russian intelligence. Since then there have been numerous examples of ISIS jihadis using children to shoot their enemies dead - ranging from slick, professionally produced videos aimed at a Western audience, to grainy mobile phone footage intended for the private entertainment of the militants themselves. Yesterday 17 government troops including a commander were killed fighting ISIS near Palmyra. Palmyra, which is famed for its ancient ruins, has been under ISIS control since May, but in recent weeks government troops have advanced to within a few miles of the city. Meanwhile in northeastern Syria, Kurdish forces backed by government shelling seized an area south of the city of Hasakeh from ISIS forces.

Siasia picks 18 to battle Congo

Players who can help Oliseh to succeed PIUS ANAKALI

here is no denying the fact that the task before the newly appointed Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh is a huge one. Beside been handed a divided and psychological wrecked players, Oliseh has no good players to work with. It’s been a sort nostalgic feeling when one recall the days of coach Oliseh as a player. It was a time, when any coach can succeed with the team. But now however, Oliseh will need much more that the magic wand to excel. Then, there was Dan Amokachie, who at the height of his career played for Fc Brugge and Everton, there was Samson Siasia who also played in Portugal, Belgium, there was the hitman Rasheed Yekini. Yekini needs little or no introduction. He was a star in Portugal where he played for Victoria Setubal. Kanu Nwakwo, Champions League winner with Ajax and goal king at Arsenal, Emmanuel Amuneke, Barcelona Fc, Sunday Oliseh, Jeventus, Borussia Dortmund, Sunday Oliha, Austin Okocha, Eintracht Frankfurt, Paris St-Germain and captain at Bolton Wanderers, the list, then was endless. Now, apart from Mikel Obi, who warms the bench at Stamford Bridge and second rated Victor Moses, also in Chelsea, Brown Ideye of West Brom, Ik Uche, who has moved to Mexican side, Tigres UANL on a three-year deal, Efe Ambrose of Celtic, and Emmanuel Emenike on loan to Al Ain from Fenerbahce, there is really no star player, Oliseh can really on. For him to make headway therefore, he will need to look inward to Manu Garba boys and others selected from the Stephen Keshi’s nations cup winning team, blend with the likes of Jordan Ibe and co, Super Eagles fans might once again have a team to be proud of. Jordon Ibe was snapped up by Liverpool from Wycombe Wanderers at the end of 2011 and has been tipped as a great prospect for the future, having risen quickly through the ranks. The talented youngster, who can play up front or out on the wing, started his Anfield career at the Academy

and began life at Liverpool with the U18 squad. After a series of outstanding displays in the FA Youth Cup, the then 17-year-old was handed a senior debut by Brendan Rodgers on the final day of the 2012-13 season and impressed at Anfield with an energetic display which included an assist for the winning goal. Now a semi-permanent fixture in the manager’s matchday squads, having Jordan in the Super Eagles squad, is dream many pray turn reality. There is also Chuba Akpom. In fact, Akpom was the name on everyone’s lip last week when he netted hat trick in Arsenal win against Singapore XI. He should Akpom is a good prospect. Alex Iwobi is yet another. Iwobi is naturally talented winger An exciting dribbler with an abundance of pace, the playmaker scored eight goals in 35 appearances during the 2013/14 campaign at Arsenals academy. The Lagos-born attacker, who is the nephew of former Bolton star Jay-Jay Okocha, can play on either wing and has the ability to unlock defences with his direct style and incisive passes. Alex signed his first professional contract with the club in May 2014. Kelechi Iheanacho is yet another. Highly rated Iheanacho is a player no defender takes for granted. Though he didn’t live up to his rating at the last U-20 World Cup, but he is one of the players who carries the hope of the future. If things goes as planned for Iheanacho he might break into the City first team this season. Moses Simon is another prospect. He currently plays for KAA Gent in Belgium and has the potential to be a big player in the national team. Odion Ighalo plays upfront with Watford. Last season he was rated as the hottest property in English football for helping his side to the Premier League. Its on record that the striker has scored 13 goals in nine games in 2015. Born in Lagos he began his career in Nigeria before moving to Watford’s partner club Udinese in 2008. His first real break came when he moved to Spain with Granada where he scored 35 goals over two loan spells. If these players are blend with the the likes of Tawo Awoniyi, Isaac Success and other experienced players, Olsieh won’t just be building a dream team, but a team that can match any other in the world.

GOtv boxing : Rasheed promises to dethrone Olagbade

W Siasia

“I want to charge those of you selected to see this as a rare privilege knowing that millions of Nigerians are banking on you to put smiles on their faces come Sunday. I have the confidence that you guys can beat Congo, but all that will depend on

you guys showing that on the field of play. The Nigeria Football Federation and the Rivers State government have done so much for us to make us win, so it’s now left for us to let them know that we are true ambassadors of our country.”

Olympic 2016 qualifier

ith less than one week to the forthcoming 3rd edition on the GOtv boxing tournament, national light middleweight title contender, Abolaji “ Afonja Warrior” Rasheed says that he has what it takes to dethrone the current champion, Sule “Tyson” Olagbade when they meet in the main bout of the competition. He told knockout that he is looking forward to July 26th when he will have the opportunity to be crowned the new national light middleweight champion.

Rasheed who was adjudged the best boxer in the maiden edition of the championship noted that although the current champion is an experienced boxer, but he will not stand between him and the title. “I have been looking forward to this opportunity and I want to assure my fans that I have what it takes to emerge as the new national light middleweight champion. “Although Olagbade is a good boxer and deserves some respect but I will definitely dethrone him because I am the better boxer.

Equatorial Guinea draws Falcons in Abuja JOEL AJAYI ABUJA

isitors Equatorial Female National team yesterday draw with Super Falcons 1-1 in the first leg of Olympic qualifier match played inside the main bowl of Abuja National stadium. Nigeria’s side began well holding on to greater ball possession till 25th minute when Halimat solo effort paid off with 1-0 goal lead. Getting into the second half, the Super Falcons slowed down their pace before the Equitorial Guinea team caught their defensive error in 62nd minute to equalize. Effort by coach Christopher Danjuma-led side to get another goal proved otherwise as his team fell short of expectation.

After the match, Coach Danjuma apologized for his low team performance and assured that needed corrections would be effected by the second leg in Malabo. He added “I think before we get to second leg whatever challenges we have faced especially emotionally will be dealt with. It is not a hidden fact that one of members passed on. “But that is not an excuse enough. We will beef up the team in the return leg. CAF didn’t help matters. Personally we believe that if Equatorial Guinea will pick a point here, nothing stops us from getting an outright win i their home ground. All that is left for us is to take our pound of flesh.” For Captain Evelyn Nwabuoku, “I football sometimes you plan to

win but it does not happen same. Whatever has happened we intend to get over it. On her part, Captain Genovena Ayonman said his side would continue to push for defeat until they pick Olympic ticket even as she admitted that teir African Opponents are tough.

Nasarawa drown struggling Dolphins

asarawa added to the woes of struggling Dolphins after they beat them 1-0 in Makurdi in a Nigeria league Week 19 match Saturday. Nasarawa have now recorded 26 points from 19 matches, while Dolphins are on 17 points and second from bottom of the table. Ugo Leonard was the match winner for the Lafia club when he tapped home a pass by Esosa Ig-

binoba in the 55th minute. Nasarawa started a lethal strike force that included winger Philip Auta, who has shown class since his switch from champions Kano Pillars. However, as much as they tried to win by a bigger margin ‘The Solid Miners’ could not. Dolphin’s defender Ali Chiwendu was presented a golden opportunity to give his team the lead in

the sixth minute from the edge of the six-yard box. In the 11th and 14th minutes, Philip Auta and match winner Leonard respectively were denied as their efforts were blocked by Dolphins defenders. On the half hour mark, Nasarawa leading scorer Igbinoba came close to opening the scores for the hosts off Leonard’s cross, but he failed to do so.

Ameobi debuts for Cardiff City

igeria forward Sammy Ameobi debuted for his new club Cardiff City in a pre-season game on Saturday which they drew 2-2 with Shrewsbury Town. The Newcastle United for-

ward, who is on a season-long loan at the English Championship, started the game and showed flashes of what he can do. Ameobi in the ninth minute made use of his height as his

flicked a header, which found Joe Mason who was flagged offside, however. He is expected to play major role in the team as they fight for a return to the English Premier League.

ormer WBA world champion Anthony Mundine has sent an open letter to Floyd Mayweather, hoping to convince Mayweather to fight him on September 12 in Las Vegas. In the letter, Mundine described himself as having held the WBA title twice the IBO middleweight, WBA interim 154lb title and reigning 154 WBC silver champions noting that he thinks a fight with the pound- for- pound fighter is what boxing fans are

expecting “I heard you mentioned names like Karim Mayfield and Andre Berto as your possible opponents but I’m the mandatory challenger you should look at .I’ve got other attributes that none of these boxers have and our fight will get the headline it deserves. According to the Australian, Mayweather should look at quality boxers like him and not journey men who does not have anything to offer to the sport.

Browne relinquishes C/Wealth title

ustralia’s Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne has relinquished his Commonwealth heavyweight title with immediate effect. Browne became the first fighter from Australia to hold the title in 122 years when he stopped Canada’s Eric Bahoeli in April 2014. But he has now decided to give it up in order to pursue other titles. “Holding the Commonwealth title was a huge honour for me and I did not relinquish the belt easily,” Browne said. “However, I’m currently the mandatory challenger to Ruslan

Chagaev’s WBA heavyweight title and that is now my focus. I am on the verge of becoming Australia’s first ever heavyweight world champion and I cannot wait to win that in the near future”. Browne’s manager Matt Clark added, “Lucas has accomplished something that will go down in Australian boxing history. We are relinquishing the title to keep it active and allow “Big Daddy” to focus on securing the world title. We didn’t want to hold up the Commonwealth belt and Lucas is relinquishing it to allow for activity. We sincerely thank the Commonwealth Boxing Council for all their support.”

Klinsmann:

o t A S U t n I wa e v i t c a o r p a play style USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann speaks exclusively about the new, eye-to-eye style for football in America. The German boss, a FIFA World Cup winner in his playing days, touches on what it takes to match the big boys in the international arena and why the Stars and Stripes need to become a ‘tournament team’ if they are to reach his publicly stated goal of a semi-final appearance at Russia 2018. FIFA.com: You promised a new style when you took over the USA post in 2011 - more proactive and less reactive. Have you achieved it? Jurgen Klinsmann: We started the transition from a reactive style to a more eye-to-eye, proactive style, because that’s what the best teams in the world do. In order to progress you have to look at the best teams and try to get closer to them. In what ways have we seen it? We’re not sitting back on our heels. We’re trying to play with the big teams. We moved the whole game a little farther up the field. We pressure high now. Step by step, we’re learning how to play out of the back. All these elements are part of a more proactive style. But we’re still in the phase of piecing it together. It’s likely to take years. We saw you successfully take on some big names at the World Cup last year. How do you rate a win over Ghana and a draw with Portu-

gal in the group phase? Some people surwere prised to see us go right at Ghana and Portugal and try to implement

our style on those games. We got out of the Group of Death and that is a big achievement. We fell back a little against Germany and Belgium; we fell back to the older way of doing things. We had a little too much respect for them.

Do the changes you’re talking about come only on the pitch? It’s also a mental transition. You have to give players the belief to play against the bigger teams and get them to say ‘let’s give it a go.’ So this process, this mental process, takes years too. We’re in the middle of it and it’s exciting. You have to give players the belief to play against the bigger teams and get them to say ‘let’s give it a go.’

Do you need a new style of player to play a new style of football? Not really. Every coach in the world works with the players they have. These players have strengths and weaknesses and you try to cover the weaknesses and build on the strengths. The formation doesn’t matter; it’s how you connect

piece every together on the pitch. And this is a learning process. We need to teach everyone to be connected, all the way from the goalkeeper and his defensive line, up to the strikers. There’s a collective movement that you see with teams like Germany and Spain – with the big teams. You notice how close and compact they are when they have to defend and how fast they open up when it’s time to attack. You try to teach these elements. These are the things you need to teach to players no matter what system you use.

You’ve experimented a lot with players, bringing

have to learn to become a tournament team.

Klinsmann

in new faces from new places. Players are coming from Europe and from Mexico, the NASL, even some university players. What are you looking for? We have a responsibility to win our big tournaments. Like the Gold Cup this summer, that will hopefully take us to the Confederations Cup in 2017. But you have your development situations too. Right now we’re in a more developmental period. Of course we want to win all of our friendly games, but they give us the frie opportunity to develop players too. I opp can ask the question ‘how good are you?’ ‘Do you understand what it you means to play at the international me level?’ We have players in Europe and leve South America and Mexico too. The Sou only way to meld them together is to onl bring them in and let them swim in bri the cold water.

Ha the football culture Has changed in America since the cha World Cup in Brazil? Wo It gave us a huge boost. People saw could be so exciting and so emoit c tional. We had public viewing events tion all over the country for the first time. Sports bars were packed with people Spo sneaking away from work to watch sne the games. The locomotive of that increased attention in our country is inc the national team. It means a lot emotionally. That’s what we’re building tion on…we’re trying to find our own on niche and that niche is growing very, very quickly. You’ve publicly stated that it’s your goal to reach the semi-final in Russia in 2018. Is this realistic? We set the bar very high because we want to explain to the players what it really takes to get to a semiwh final. We left Ghana and Portugal befina hind us in Brazil 2014 and we almost hin drew with Germany and almost beat dre Belgium too. These are all big names. Bel So the players understand they can actually beat big nations if everyact thing goes well on that particular thin day. Now we need to educate the players what to do when the Round of 16 iis over. We have to examine what it ttakes to win a quarter-final, to get into a semi-final. A lot of consistency is rrequired.

How is a tournament team different from a good team? It’s not a team that does well in qualifying but doesn’t expect much in the finals. These are two different worlds. England always qualify for the World Cup in a heartbeat, but then they struggle for whatever reason when they get there. You need to get stronger every game you play, so your curve goes upward and you’re not running out of gas after the group. This is a huge learning curve. It’s technical, tactical and mental. You have to show them what’s it’s all about. You need to be on top of everything not just for six weeks, but for eight weeks. So we’ve started this process already for 2018. We will educate and explain to fans, the media and the players – everybody will know that we’re setting a very high goal.

You’ve not only been to a semi-final, but you won the World Cup in 1990. How important is that for you as a coach? Experience always helps. You can tell the players not to get nervous about certain things and not to worry too much about other things. I lived through it. It’s not just the good side either, but the bad side of it I can pass on too. I lost two World Cups. I won one but I lost two. I can explain why I failed in certain moments in a big tournament. If they understand that, they trust you. It helps a lot when you can give them examples of why they failed or why they made it through. And the margins, of course, are very, very small. You were criticised for making negative comments about Major League Soccer. Can you clarify your feelings? I never made negative comments. It was written that way in the media, but I didn’t. I said that I want our players to get to the highest possible level… A lot of people thought this was negative to our own league. I never meant that to be the way. MLS is growing with tremendous speed and it can’t be denied. They’re building toward the big leagues in Europe. This couldn’t be more important to us in the national team. I’m the biggest supporter of MLS and if you look at the team I had in Brazil, there were 11 or 12 players from the league. But you still want your players striving for the highest bar? I have a responsibility to tell the individual players to go for the highest goal. No fan or coach would argue if we had an American playing for Bayern or Real Madrid or Barcelona.

resh from joining up with his new Manchester City teammates, Raheem Sterling says he regrets the manner of his exit from Liverpool. The England international was involved in a protracted transfer saga, attracting criticism for turning down Liverpool’s offer of a new £100,000-a-week contract. His widely reported move to City was finally completed on Tuesday, with the 20-year-old’s switch provoking much debate in footballing circles.

Oscar, 23, has been linked with the Serie A champions as they prepare to lose Chile star Arturo Vidal to Bayern Munich, with the Bianconeri reportedly considering Wolfsburg’s Ivan Perisic, Bayern’s Mario Gotze and the Brazil international as replacements. But Oscar has snubbed speculation suggesting he will leave the Premier League champions for Italy, and is determined to stay in London having only

I have never been unsettled by what was being said.” The midfielder missed Brazil’s Copa America campaign this summer due to a thigh complaint, but says the extra break and the chance of a full preseason could be beneficial for next season.

CCI is an acronym for the Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industries. Last Monday this business superintending body in Lagos issued a press statement in which it called on the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to review its recent policy excluding 41 items locally produced in the country from the official foreign exchange window. Earlier, on June 23, this year, the CBN had forbidden importers of specified 41 items from access to foreign exchange officially. Such importers may, however, source for foreign exchange from the unofficial, parallel market, if they insist on importing the restricted items rather than source for their raw materials and produce them locally to create jobs for Nigerians. But that would skyrocket the prices of such imported items beyond the reach of the average consumers, with the merciless pummeling of the naira by the currencies of developed economies such as the US dollar and the British pound sterling. If manufacturing industries and general merchandizing firms cannot sell what they produce with imported raw

LCCI and CBN directives on import restrictions materials or completely finished articles directly imported into the country because of unstable and astronomical rise in foreign exchange rates, then, they would be forced to shut down; resulting in job losses, which would worsen the already frightening unemployment situation in the country. This appears to summarize the concerns of the LCCI. Now if the objective of the CBN’s interventionist policy through the denial of access to official foreign exchange window to certain categories of imported items is to encourage the use of local raw materials and stimulate job creation in the country, then, there is something the LCCI is not telling Nigerians in its recent press statement. It seems to me that what the CBN is saying is that the 41 items on the restricted list can be produced in Nigeria, and that it is a disservice to the nation’s over-all economic health for such items to be imported into the country. It seems clear and unambiguous for the CBN to disallow access of importers of such commodities whose raw materials can be sourced locally to official foreign exchange rate. The question for the LCCI really is, why import into the country what can be produced locally with accessible raw materials and a large army of active youth milling around without profitable engagement? By importing finished articles whose raw materials can be sourced locally, the Nigerian businessmen are

creating employment for the population of the country where those commodities are imported from, and depriving Nigerians of jobs and wealth creation which could easily have multiplier effects on the over-all economy. It is this ugly, self-stultifying life-strategy that has held the nation’s economy down to the apron-strings of Western developed economies that the CBN, in my view, is set to reverse with its import restriction policy through the official foreign exchange window. While one appreciates the LCCI worry about job loss and shut downs if foreign exchange dependent business concerns are excluded from access to foreign exchange from the banks, the Lagos business monitoring organ has shrouded its reservations with the import restriction policy in secrecy by failing to clearly separate items in the list that could not be produced locally. From my non-professional understanding of the items on the CBN restriction list, it is difficult for me and many other public spirited Nigerians to say which of those items could really not be produced within the country. It is not helpful for the LCCI to merely lampoon the apex bank for allegedly throwing the “manufacturers and banks into confusion” without specifying the items that should be removed from the restricted list. As a critical stakeholder in the economy, the LCCI should have helped its case by explaining to the public which busi-

nesses will really suffer when shut out from the official foreign exchange window, on account of the fact that the raw materials and what it called “the manufacturing process” for their operations are unavailable in the country. I think that the CBN has taken the right step in attempting to redress the parlous state of the economy whose growth has been curiously characterized as “jobless growth” by its coordinators and superintendents in the last one and half decades. The manufacturing concerns and players in the nation’s economy are well advised to buy into the new dispensation’s drive to reverse the dangerous trend of import dependent and crude oil based economy to one that diversifies and takes control of its destiny. The LCCI should join forces with the apex bank in this bold initiative to redeem the economy from its worrisome slide to perdition.

Bach restates the importance of golf in Olympic

nternational Olympic Commitee President Thomas Bach emphasised the importance of golf’s return to the Olympic Games in growing the game globally during a visit to The Open Championship at St Andrews. With the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro a little over a year away, golf will be represented with individual competitions for men and women, with both events seeing 60 players contest a traditional 72-hole stroke play tournament. Speaking at a news conference, Bach said of golf’s return to the Games: “I think it was an important step because the growing worldwide representation of golf and the attractiveness to viewer countries. l see that in Rio we will most likely have among the 120 players, 60 plus 60, more than 40 different national Olympic committees, and this shows that golf is really spreading worldwide.
