Change as Buhari takes over Like wildfire, the ‘change’ mantra propagated by the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, caught across the nation and today, Nigeria enters the history book as the first civilian-tocivilian transition of power takes place at the federal level. Muhammadu Buhari, who won the March 28 presidential election takes over power from President Goodluck Jonathan as Nigeria’s fifth democratically-elected President since independence and the fourth in the series in the present Fourth Republic. From an almost obscure opposition merger in February 2013, the APC, given no

chance against a formidable self-styled ‘largest party in Africa,’ which had predicted a 60-year hold onto power in the country, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, against all odds emerged the governing party after the dusts had settled on the March 28 presidential poll. APC has not only made history as the first opposition party to wrestle power from a ruling behemoth with the spread and tentacles of the out gone PDP, but also as the first successful merger of four different political parties in Nigeria’s political history.

Kirikiri prison

Behind Nigeria’s prison walls World over, the prisons system is designed to serve the dual purposes of punishment and reform. However, the situation in the nation’s prisons marked by poor funding, high congestion, poor sanitation and healthcare and few opportunities for making inmates better citizens has again underscored the need for wide ranging systemic reforms. Paul Omo Obadan reports on deplorable living conditions behind Nigeria’s prison walls.

risons world-wide are set up by law to provide restraint and custody of individuals accused or convicted for crimes by the state. Nigeria is not an exception. All prisons in Nigeria are managed by the Nigerian Prisons Service, NPS, a parastatal under the Ministry of

the Interior, headed by a Comptroller General of Prisons, who presides over the administration of all prison facilities including regular prisons, special penal institutions and lock-up centers. It is charged with the responsibility to take into lawful custody all those certified to be so kept by courts of com-

petent jurisdiction; produce suspects in courts as and when due; identify the causes of anti-social behavior; set in motion mechanisms for their treatment; train inmates for eventual reintegration into society as normal law abiding citizens on discharge; administer prisons farms and industries for this purpose and in the process generate revenue for the government. However, this lofty objective of the prisons service to facilitate inmate reform has been eroded. The conditions in the prisons have become better imagined than seen. The reason is simple. Successive governments have failed to improve the plight of detainees and other inmates in the nation’s prisons, who perhaps are not seen as part of the regular society. This has cast doubt over whatever claims of successes the prison authorities might have through the reform agenda and reintegration programme, because imprisonment in Nigeria, has continued to become a nightmare. The objective of reformation has been grossly defeated as inmates, especially those with violent tendencies, come out even more CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

‘Nigerian prison system punitive’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 dangerous to society. Some experts argue that since the Nigerian prisons system is modeled after the colonial prison administration, it has remained overtly punitive rather than serve the modern function of prisons, which is for correction, reformation, re-integration and rehabilitation. A typical Nigerian prison is therefore bedeviled with overcrowding by three to six times the capacity. This, according to stakeholders, is caused mainly by the fact that about 80 per cent of prison inmates are awaiting trial, most of who cannot afford legal representation, coupled with the lack of capacity by the police for prosecution of cases and the slow bureaucracy in the justice system. Currently, 49,000 inmates are in various Nigerian prisons (29,000 whom are awaiting trial, while 856 are on death row), hell cannot be worse. Many observers contend that instead of reforming inmates, the prisons system is hardening them and subjecting them to horrible, degrading conditions and punishment, sometimes exceeding the crimes committed, in the process, rendering inmates physically and psychologically damaged, unwanted, unloved and abandoned in an uncaring environment. Nigerian Prisons Rebranded Due to the debilitating conditions of the NPS, it was rebranded in 2012 and renamed Nigerian Prisons and Correctional Service, to make comprehensive provisions for the administration of prisons in Nigeria and for related purposes, sequel to the passage of a Bill for an Act to repeal the Prisons Act Cap. P29 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria. According to the Bill, the name change is to underscore the humane aspect of the reform focus of prisons administrations and to conform to provisions in the international instruments governing prisoners rights and welfare. The Senate while noting then that the term ‘hard labour’ is a carry-over from the colonial era, also approved a recommendation that it be expunged and replaced with ‘prison labour’ instead. The question remains however whether the rebranding over time served its purpose. UN Standard Minimum Rules (SMR) These instruments make it clear that while prisoners lose their right to freedom of movement they keep their rights as human beings when they are in detention. They must not be treated in an inhuman or degrading way. International standards forbid all forms of torture. They also make it clear that the penitentiary system for convicted offenders “shall comprise treatment of prisoners the essential aim of which shall be their reformation and social rehabilitation”. While these standards provide important benchmarks, providing one size fits all treatment for the huge variety of people in prison is not adequate. Women, children, and prisoners with mental health problems are among the prisoners who need a carefully tailored approach. The Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (SMR), adopted in 1957, are the key standard for the treatment of prisoners globally. While these Rules still have value and are widely used today, there have been major developments in human rights and criminal justice since their adoption. The SMR are often regarded by states as the primary – if not only – source of standards relating to treatment in detention, and are the key framework used by monitoring and inspection mechanisms in assessing the treatment of prisoners. It is therefore particularly crucial that they are consistent with current standards of human rights and criminal justice. In December 2010, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 65/230, requesting the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, CCPCJ, to establish an open-ended intergovernmental expert group to exchange information on best practices (…) and on the revision of existing United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the

SOME EXPERTS ARGUE THAT SINCE THE NIGERIAN PRISONS SYSTEM IS MODELED AFTER THE COLONIAL PRISON ADMINISTRATION IT HAS REMAINED OVERTLY PUNITIVE RATHER THAN SERVE THE

MODERN FUNCTION OF PRISONS, WHICH IS FOR CORRECTION,

REFORMATION, RE-INTEGRATION

AND REHABILITATION.

A TYPICAL

NIGERIAN PRISON IS THEREFORE

BEDEVILED WITH OVERCROWDING BY THREE TO SIX TIMES THE CAPACITY Treatment of Prisoners so that they reflect recent advances in correctional science and best practices.” According to an Amnesty International report, “65 per cent of the people in Nigerian prisons have never been convicted of any crime. Therefore, efforts at decongesting our prisons or ameliorating the plight of ATMs (awaiting trial mates) would come to naught without adequate judicial reform aimed at a complete overhauling of the country’s criminal justice system. The Nigerian prisons also lack the minimum facilities suitable for human habitation. Many of the prisons were built during the colonial era and since then no efforts have been made to renovate them. “Consequently the worn-out facilities and infrastructure are unable to cater for the increasing population of prisoners. The result is outbreak of diseases in the prison environment. It is therefore no surprise that whereas the prison systems in most countries are meant to reform the prisoners, the Nigerian prison system hardens them”. Awaiting trial and congestion The NPS has been riddled with the ever increasing number of Awaiting Trial Mates (ATMs) which, according to report, is put at 30,000 persons, representing over 65 per cent of the estimated prisoners population of 46,000. As in virtually all the prisons in the state and Nigeria at large, the challenge of awaiting trial persons is one too many. Sunday Mirror gathered that from Badagry prison

through Kirikiri to prisons, to Ikoyi, the challenge has been the same. It has not only overstretched the facilities to breaking point, it is also a contributing factor to prison breaks nationwide. A victim of the nation’s slothful justice system and police high handedness is Lucky Igbinovia who was arrested with other suspects for the murder of the elder statesman, Pa Alfred Oritsewehimi Rewane, 79, a chieftain of the National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, who was assassinated in his house at 100, Oduduwa Crescent, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria, on 6 October, 1995. After 15 years of protracted trial, a Lagos High Court discharged and acquitted Lucky Igbinovia and Effiong Elemi while the five of the suspects namely: Sylvester Iyasele, Saturday Egbemude, Ola Obanuso, Akeem Ali and Sunday Obanobi could not stand the test of time - they had died in prison custody while awaiting trial for an offence they did not commit. Igbinovia, who is now based in Switzerland, shared his thoughts via Whatsapp with Sunday Mirror and advised government to be sensitive to the plight of inmates. “The standard of facilities in the Nigerian prisons are appalling, to say the least. The over-crowding in our prisons should be treated as emergency. “The dignity of the human person is an inherent right. In furtherance of that, the need to adhere to minimum standard in protecting the welfare of inmates cannot be overemphasized. “The Federal Government and the National Assembly must ensure that adequate budgetary allocation is made to the Nigerian Prisons Service to enable it adequately secure and facilitate the nation’s prisons. To control prison population we need to control two major factors namely: the prison reception rate (i.e. the rate at which persons are received into prison) and the duration in custody (i.e. the length of time spent in custody). However, we must note that these two factors are affected by several other factors that occur before, during and after incarceration/ imprisonment. “Factors and activities that occur before and after incarceration thus give an impression that the bulk of the remedies to redress any problem relating to prison population lie on the hands of agencies outside the prisons. In fact it can be argued that the prison service does not determine the rate of reception into prison nor do they determine the length of time a prison inmate spends in custody. “From real cases of major crime to minor misdemeanors such as of wandering, theft and the likes, the number CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

‘Most prisoners not yet convicted’

Bishop Williams

Agbakoba

Lucky Igbinovia

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 of persons awaiting trial at the Lagos prisons alone is indeed astronomical. I was lucky to have survived incarceration. Five others were not. Apart from the physical pain of going through kirikiri, I am sure they had psychological torture itself added to their death. True to my name, I was a lucky chap and I thank God for his grace”, Igbinovia said. Many observers maintain that cases of un-convicted felons make managing the prisons unbearable, they argue that the prevalence of ATMs is an anomaly, which at best frustrates crime prevention and control as they are mixed up with the convicts who might end up influencing them for good into becoming hardened criminals. Records show that the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison in Lagos, for instance, is overcrowded by over 250 per cent. The prison, which was built to house about a 1,000 inmates, is, today occupied by over 2,600 inmates. Most of these inmates are awaiting trial. Remand prisoners account for a substantial number leading to congestion, as a greater part of awaiting trial detainees in the nation’s prisons are held under the holding charge and many have spent up to 15 to 20 years waiting to be tried. A source at the Kirikiri Prisons informed the Sunday Mirror that inmates at the prisons were not enjoying any form of rehabilitation and reformation. “The only good thing that is going for them is the NGO’S, Christian organisations and well meaning Nigerians who come to the prisons intermittently to pray with them and encourage them. To bring inmates out to do hard

labour and cut grass is not my own definition of reformation. Reformation is all about caring and showing love to inmates, which is lacking in most of our prisons”, he said. A source at Ikoyi Prisons says that electricity is one of the scarcest commodities known in the prisons even as food is given on ration basis. Majority of prisoners are languishing in prisons because they are too poor to afford a lawyer and Nigeria’s criminal justice system is too broke and too slow to help them. It is a fact that there are severe shortages of facilities like mattresses, lighting system, sanitation (toilet, water, bathing or washing) and above all, inadequate ventilation. In developed countries, there is a difference between a jail and a prison. A jail is a transitional facility for those undergoing legal proceedings, those awaiting judgment on their trial. A prison, on the other hand, is for those whose judicial fate has been decided; those who have been convicted. Therefore, those whose trials are in progress and those whose trials have been decided should not ordinarily cohabit in the same facilities. Sunday Mirror findings revealed that the same correctional facilities are used both as jails and prisons in the country. There is no categorization as those undergoing trial, convicts and those already condemned to death are treated equally. They are all lumped together in various cells and stripped of their dignity. This is really because like all facilities in the country, the prisons amenities have

been stretched beyond their original capacities. So, those undergoing trial are not treated any differently from those already convicted despite the fact that they might end up being left off the hook. Many experts have argued that one of the reasons for prison congestion is the reckless disregard of Section 35 of the 1999 Constitution and the indiscretion of judges and magistrates handling some of the offences. While the section states that “a person shall be tried within two months from the date of his detention,” judges and magistrates most often give stringent bail conditions on some minor criminal offences. Legal luminary, Olisa Agbakogba SAN agrees with this claim. Agbakogba has been in the fore front of advocacy for Prisons reforms in Nigeria and has also written a world acclaimed book on prisons reforms titled “Transcending the wall : A manual for Prisoners Reform”. For him, the first problem facing our prison is that of chronic congestion. “My Most pressing worry is the seeming helpless and hopeless situation of our wasting generation in Nigerian prisons. To anyone who knows about prison life in Nigeria, it should come as no surprise that these prisons suitably pass as institutions of deformation rather than reformation. In one of my visit to Kirirkiri, I could not but shudder at man’s inhumanity to man, occasioned by a misguided notion of punishment. I saw men and women caged, smelling, weighed down spiritually and physically by torture. I saw walking skeletons denied flesh by hunger, psychoemotional torture and diseases. I was embarrassed by the population of young men and women caged in this zoo that we call prison”. According to him, the ATMs, which constitute 60 per cent of the prison are suffering as a result of the failing criminal justice system. “Their ordeal stars from the time of arrest by the Police, to the time of imprisonment. Some have awaited trial for over 15 years. If justice delayed is justice denied, then for this class of people, the state has been economical with justice. The problem of congestion is caused primarily by the unwholesome use of “holding charge”, for example, process of bringing an accused before an incompetent venue for the singular reason of obtaining a remand order, can be remedied. “Secondly, the Police institution need to be trained to know how to use the barometer of “probable cause or reasonable suspicion” to sieve off people that have no business, coming to the prison in the first instance.” Agbakoba suggests that “the most viable way of decongesting the prisons across the country was for the criminal justice system to speed up the prosecution of inmates, as congestion can be blamed largely on inmates awaiting trial”. He observed that the problem of congestion in Nigerian prisons can only be tackled if the Federal Ministry of Justice as well as other security agencies speed up the prosecution of such persons, so that the efforts of the prison service can be realised with respect to decongestion and as correctional facilities. Bishop Kayode Williams, the Director-General, Prison Mission International, PREMI, an organisation that is into rehabilitation and reformation of ex-prison inmates, spoke on the conditions which he is all too familiar with being an ex-inmate himself.. “Kirikiri maximum and medium prisons are big facilities, they ought to have big generators to serve all inmates. The wrong impression people have is that prison inmates can be treated anyhow, or like animals, but this is very wrong. “Look at the situation in Kirikiri Medium prison today, the facility is supposed to accommodate 1,000 inmates, but today inmates at the Medium prison are over 2,000 and out of this figure convicted inmates are just 98 while others are awaiting trial. “Take a trip around prisons across the country today; CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

‘Prison reforms long overdue’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 you will shed tears about the living conditions of the inmates. Some of these prisons are not habitable for goats and this is where human beings are being accommodated. In other countries of the world like the United States, Britain, Portugal and even some countries in Africa like South-Africa. When you visit the prisons in those countries, you will think you are within the precincts of a guest house. Nigerian leaders have to take concrete steps on prison reforms. Prison inmates are human beings, they have human rights, and once again, our leaders must get it right, prisons are supposed to be reformative and not punitive centres. “The living condition in Nigeria prisons is like a time bomb waiting to explode He said that in order to avert ugly occurrence, government should embark on the construction of modern prisons with facilities that will enhance inmates’ reformation. “It is unfortunate that many of our leaders when they are in power, they abandon prisons, but are forced to learn the hard lesson of life on leaving government if they are now detained in the prison for one offence or the other. “When they now get to the prison and are confronted with the appalling conditions, they now start giving money to prison officials to allow them to bring generators, fans and other items to guarantee their comfort. They now turn into super prisoners, but if they had done the right thing when in power, the prison would have been comfortable to accommodate them during their detention”. He however notes that the point must be made that time has come “when our government should be made to realise that confinement in prison is in itself a punishment, inflicting further punishment by way of in-human conditions in penal institutions is cruel, especially when it is realized that keeping these inmates are expensive in terms of cost. The Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State command of the Nigeria Prison Service, Mr. Biyi Jeje, while speaking with the press recently, stated that the major challenge confronting the state command was the congestion of the prisons. The prison official, however, blamed the congestion of the Nigeria prisons on the Criminal Justice System in Nigeria. He also accused the judiciary and the police of hiding under the ineffective justice system in the country to add to the woes of prison inmates. He called on the Federal Government to ensure a proper reform of the criminal justice system in the country. He however said that the situation is not as bad as being portrayed as the prison authorities try within their means to ensure that prisoners’ aspiration for reform and rehabilitation are met. He pointed out that prisoners that crave formal education as part of the correctional programme are sent to schools like at the Ikoyi Medium and Maximum Prisons. According to him, “If someone has the flair for acting and you push him to carpentry, at the end of his training, you set up a shop for him, but he will run it down and might still go back to crime.” He said it was the responsibility of the command to keep safe custody of convicts and suspects awaiting trial sent to its prisons by the law courts with relevant warrants. He added that it was also its duty to reform such persons for reintegration into the society. “We have ensured a good prison environment in all the prisons in Lagos State -- Ikoyi, Badagry, Maximum, Medium and Minimum all in Kirikiri Town -- to carry out such responsibility. We have various reformation programmes for the inmates at our skills acquisition centres located in the prisons where they learn trades like tailoring, crafts and shoemaking. “We have our educational programmes too where the inmates study and sit for GCE and WAEC in a centre at the Ikoyi Prison, NECO in Maximum and JAMB in Ikoyi. Those who intend to further their education are given the opportunity to do so because we collaborate with the National Open University, NOUN, which created a study centre in Ikoyi”, Jeje said.

The spokesman explained that the service also sponsors the education of the inmates, adding that non-governmental organizations, churches and philanthropists had also assisted in paying for the costs of their studies. We partner with NGOs, churches and philanthropists who sponsor the cost of their examinations. They have been wonderful in assisting us. “We have a computer training centre in Maximum Prison in Kirikiri. We partner with many churches, including the Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), in promoting computer literacy. “The church recently donated 20 new computers to the centre at Maximum and we have 15 in the Medium prison

and more at the NOUN centre.’’ Jeje, a Superintendent of Prisons, noted that the Knights of St. Mulumba of the Catholic Church built the biggest Catholic Church in any prison in Africa at the Maximum prison. He added that it was inaugurated by the then Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, retired Anthony Cardinal Okogie. “We also have a magnificent Mosque in the Medium prison in Kirikiri, while Ikoyi prison also has both a church and a mosque. We have men of God that come here to attend to their religious needs”, the command’s spokesman said. Jeje said that since reformation was all embracing, the authority had provided standard sports facilities in the prisons. We have standard football pitches in all the prisons, basketball and tennis courts and the needed equipment for other sports, including jerseys and boots. The inmates compete among themselves,’’ he said. We are doing all these because we have to reintegrate them into the society. We have good health facilities to attend to the inmates when they are sick. At the Maximum prison we have a hospital, which serves as a referral health institution and clinics at Ikoyi, Badagry and the Medium prison in Kirikiri. We also attend to their welfare by ensuring that they are adequately fed and go to court as at when due”, he said. According to him, there are vehicles to take them to court but that more are needed. On the female prisons, he said the facilities at the two cells – that for nursing mothers and the crèche – were adequate and well maintained “While we have all these facilities in place, we appeal for assistance from corporate organisations and philanthropists to ensure adequate infrastructure, improved medicare, vehicles and other logistics for effective management of the prisons”. He said that experienced staff and the command’s leadership under Controller Vincent Ubi made the success so far possible. While, this may be the experience in prison formations in Lagos, such cannot be said to be the case elsewhere. Prisons in the Northern part of the country are notorious for grueling conditions and are sometimes reserved special punishment for prisoners from other parts of the country where harsh weather and culture shock inflict more pains on them. Funding is poor and the sort of assistance form NGOs that those in Lagos or Abuja may enjoy is lacking. Jailbreaks are frequent and at the height of the insurgency even the prisoners were not safe within the prison walls. It is hoped however that the newly-inaugurated administration of Muhammadu Buhari will, as part of its change agenda, look into the situation at the prisons.

Speaking during a thanksgiving service held at the National Christian Centre, Osinbajo said that he was also chosen by God to assist Buhari to transform the nation. Osinbajo said “I thank the great and mighty God, who has chosen me at this time by Himself to assist the President of this nation” According to him, God’s plan is to make Nigeria a nation that would be admired and respected in the world by establishing integrity while eradicating corruption to allow the resources of the country to be used according to law, justice and equity for the benefit of all.

Trouble as Kwara Police shoot NURTW boss dead WOLE ADEDEJI ILORIN

ehicular and human traffic to Osun, Ekiti and Kogi states from Kwara were disrupted for hours yesterday as commercial motorsdrivers protested the killing of their leader, one Akeem Laduba, by a police patrol team in Ajase Ipo, Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State .

The drivers, who were members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, in AjaseIpo, stormed the Ilorin/ Ajase- Ipo Highway in their hundreds adorning their vehicles and commercial motorcycles with leaves as a sign of mourning for the killing of Laduba who is said to be their chairman by the police team. It was gathered that an of-

ficer in a police patrol team that mounted a road block at Ajase allegedly fired a shot that killed the NURTW chairman in the town who was the head of Kabba/ Omu Aran/Igbaja chapter of the union in the state. An eyewitness told Sunday Mirror that there was a disagreement between the patrol team and a commercial motorcyclist, “Okada rider” and the NURTW leader stepped in to intervene ostensibly to save the motorcyclist before he was allegedly shot by one of the policemen in the patrol team. However, it was learnt that the police officers later got enraged by what they regarded as an “effrontery” of the deceased to mediate when he was not invited, a situation which further fuelled the disagreement.

A statement issued by Head of Buhari media team, Mallam Garba Shehu, quoted the President to have said, “We have not banned anyone from travelling,” Responding to some cases of “V.I.P stoppages” at the airports as reported to him yesterday, Buhari directed all agencies under the government to run their affairs in full compliance with extant rules, regulations and the constitution of the country. The statement also quoted that the President as saying “Unless otherwise directed by the

courts, no law-abiding citisens should be barred from travelling abroad. We must treat fellow citizens with courtesy and respect. Officials at the borders and other points of entry and exit should conduct their affairs in strict compliance with due process. No one has my permission to bar anyone from travelling abroad.” Meanwhile, President Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo have declared their assets as required by the Constitution. A statement issued by

Head of Buhari’s media team, said “The Code of Conduct Bureau on Friday acknowledged the submission of Buhari and Osinbajo assets declaration form submitted separately on May 28, and signed for by the organisation’s Chairman, Sam Saba. President Buhari’s Declarant ID was given as: ‘President: 000001/2015’” The statement, however, did not disclose the details contained in the assets declaration. It further said, “The Nigerian Constitution states in Chapter VI Section 140, that a person elected

to the office of President shall not begin to perform the functions of that office until he has declared his assets and liabilities as prescribed in the Constitution. “By declaring their assets, Buhari and Osinbajo may have not only fulfilled the requirements of the Nigerian Constitution, but also fulfilled the first of their many campaign promises. “While seeking election into the highest office in the land, the President had promised Nigerians that he would publicly declare his assets as soon as he took over government”, the statement added.

A lot of damage has been done –Buhari

resident Muhammadu Buhari has said that a lot of damage has been done in managing the affairs of the nation.

Buhari who spoke on Friday night at the Presidential inauguration gala night held at the State House Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa appealed to Nigerians to bear with his government considering the fact that he had just taken over the mantle of leadership. “I ask Nigerians to please bear with us; a lot of damage had been done. If you can recall what Nigeria was in 1999 and now, what was the condition of our infrastructure in 1999 and what it is now; how come that what we earn is not physically translated into sustained development?, Buhari queried. He maintained that his government would pay attention to the issue of un-

employment of the youth, saying that if a large number of youths are unemployed, then the country is sitting on a keg of gunpowder. The President identified agriculture and mining as the quickest way to tackle some of the problems. He said, “We have realised our problems, we have made the sacrifice, Nigerians pray a lot, we need to pray even more for luck so that the expectations of our people would be realised, especially the youth. “The most frightening thing in my personal experience during my visit to the states, except Yobe, there are youths in the sun for six to ten hours that will meet us at the point of entry either at the airport or border, they will dictate the pace of our move-

ment to the venues of where we address the people, “These youths will be sweating, and I know that more than 60 per cent of our population are youths, most of them are not employed, whether they are in school or not. This is the keg of gunpowder we are sitting on”, Buhari added. The President called for the support and cooperation of Nigerians, other African countries, Europe and America as well as other foreign countries for the progress and success of his administration. In his remarks, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu said Nigerians who voted for change are the real heroes of democracy. Tinubu noted that money, privilege and other in-

ducement never stopped the people from voting for a better destiny. “They are the heroes of this glorious moment. Without their faith in democracy and belief in better future, this election would not have been had and we will not be celebrating the inauguration of a new president He described Buhari as a leader who is principled, bold, passionate and determined to lead, stressing that the President is like those leaders who had led their nations to greatness in time past. Present at the event were former leaders of the country including Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, General Yakubu Gowon and Chief Ernest Shonekan. Others were visiting world leaders, top government officials and members of the diplomatic corps.

Boko Haram hits Maiduguri again A

suicide bomber yesterday attacked into a mosque along Ali Kotoko road, near Maiduguri Monday Market leaving 26 dead with 28 critically injured, reliable security sources assisting in evacuation of victims said.

The incident took place at about 3:45pm when Muslim faithful gathered performing their La,asar prayers. Unconfirmed sources revealed that apart from the mosque explosion, another explosion rocked some areas of the Monday Market with less number of casualties. This is coming barely 12 hours after the repulsion of an attack mounted by Boko Haram gunmen by the military on the outskirts of the city Maiduguri of Borno state, which also claimed many lives. “A bomb blast exploded at the Adam Kolo Central Mosque along Ali Kotoko road of Maiduguri Monday Market (MMM) during an afternoon prayers, and killed 26 people with about 28 critically injured on Saturday”, a reliable source who was among those evacuating the victims, said. “I can confirm to you that many people in the mosque were killed and injured, as most of their limbs were shattered from the blast shrapnel and burns”, a survivor who did not want his name mention in print stated. The mosque explosion, according to Modu Fugu of Civilian Joint Task Force CJTF, occurred when the prayer session was about to commence at about 3.25pm with over five dozen of people in the mosque. “We were shocked and terrified with the loud explosion that rocked through the mosque near bicycle sellers market and other shops-prayer session was cut short as people fledfor safety. But many were killed and injured,” said Fugu On how the bomb exploded, Hamidu Isa, a shop owner near the mosque, also told our correspondent that the Improvised Explosive Device (IEDs) was hidden in the mosque in the morning, before the suicide bomber entered the mosque to detonate the explosive at about 3.30pm. Yesterday’s explosion brings to four the number of market bomb blasts this year, killing over 48 people with. The Borno Police Com-

mand yesterday confirmed the mosque blast, but said the Command is yet to get number of casualties, but was gathered reliably that the Nigerian Red Cross NRC rescue team and other volunteers were evacuating the victims. Before the mosque attack, suspected members of Boko Haram in convoy of Toyota Hilux vehicles and motorcycles laden with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), rocket grenades and anti-aircraft guns had attacked Malari village near Maiduguri and killed 15 residents and left 19 others injured. The killings, according to Ibrahim Yakubu of Civilian Joint Task Force CJTF, were caused by insurgents’ sporadic gunshots, explosions and shelling in Bulunkutu Saleke, Gomari and Ajilari areas in the early hours of yesterday from around 12.35 to 2.45am. “We were terrified and shocked on how these areas were targeted by Boko Haram last night. “Five children and two women who were sleeping in the open because of heat in their houses were among those killed”, Yakubu said. He said the insurgents burst into Malari through the northeast flank of Sambisa forest via a dirt road, before crossing River Ngadabul to launch their attacks on the affected communities. “The militants could not enter Maiduguri metropolis last night, because of the trenches that it impossible for their vehicles to cross and cause havoc to both lives and property in the targeted three areas,” said the vigilante youth. The military along some CJTF members, he said, however precented the insurgents from entering Maiduguri to cause more havoc to both lives and property. “The extent of damagesto lives and property could have been much higher, if the Boko Haram gunmen had crossed the trenches and without being repelled immediately, before they could re-group to launch fresh attacks on our people here,” Ibrahim noted. Confirming the incident yesterday in Maiduguri, a reliable source from the Borno Police Command said that unspecified residents in Gomari, Bulunkutu Saleke and Ajilari wards were killed in Malari multiple attacks.

… attacks mosque, villagers, scores dead •Buhari says resolve to degrade terrorists unshakable “We are still collating the level of casualties in yesterday’s attacks, but 19 people have been hospitalised for injuries they sustained from gunshots and artillery firings that lasted over two hours in western part of Maiduguri metropolis,” said the police source yesterday Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the latest terrorist attack on Maidu-

guri, warning that his new administration won’t tolerate wanton and willful destruction of life by criminal elements that are bent on anarchy. A statement issued yesterday by Head, Buhari media team, Garba Shehu, stated that in reaction to the latest attack, which left scores of people dead, injured and maimed, the President said his administration meant business in

its determination to tackle terrorist violence with all the resources available to his government. Describing terrorists as cowardly murderers that target innocent people, Buhari explained that as the Commander-in-Chief, he has sworn to protect the security of Nigerians everywhere. The President, while calling for increased vigilance by local communities,

assured that his administration would give security close attention, and that his government was committed to boosting the morale of our armed forces by effectively funding them and attending to their welfare. He condoled with the families of the victims of the latest terrorist attack on Maiduguri and assured them that the worst days of the criminal elements would be over soon.

APC drags Kogi to court over appointment of SSAs to take over LGs WALE IBRAHIM LOKOJA

he All Progressive Congress, APC, in Kogi State has once again dragged Kogi State Government to court over the appointment of Senior Special Assistants to take over the affairs of 21 local government councils in the state.

The Chieftain of APC, Chief Goodman Umar Akwu, who disclosed this while addressing the newsmen in Lokoja, the Kogi State Capital, stated

that the era of impunity has gone forever as the APC will not fold it hands to allow it in the state. Akwu described the purported appointment of Senior Special Assistants by the state government to serve in 21 local government areas as illegal, unconstitutional and unacceptable. He explained that appointments of SSAs in place of Caretaker committees is alien to local government administration, noting that APC is a national party duly regis-

tered under law and had once dragged the state government to Court over the local government issues. “In compliance with a Court Order made by Hon Justice Alaba Omolaiye – Ajileye, Kogi State Government has dissolved all the 21 Local Government Councils in the state on 18th December, 2014. “A statement from the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in Lokoja today said the State Governor, Captain Idris Wada ap-

proved the dissolution of the councils in compliance with the Koton-Karfe High Court Order of Wednesday, 17 December, 2014. “The statement which directed the Council Chairmen to hand over the affairs of the Local Government Councils to their respective DLG’s today, Thursday, 18 December, 2014, also directed the DLG’s to take over the affairs of the Local Government Councils pending when another Local Government election is conducted.

Your game is up, Al-Makura warns misguided politicians IGBAWASE UKUMBA LAFIA

overnor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State has warned misguided politicians who seek always to suborn Nasarawa people to follow their false leadership and thrive in ethnic or religious bigotry that their game is up.

That was even as he pledged his administration’s

cooperation with all arms of government, as well as all other political parties and forces in the state. The governor gave this warning in Lafia, the state capital, during his swearingin for a second term as governor of the state, alongside his deputy, Mr. Silas Agara, hitherto charging people of the state not to return to the era of pointless and endless warfare, deadlock or drift in

the name of politics. He described the antics of such politicians as “the dark art of a generation of self-seekers, manipulators and mischief-makers whose politics is neither of principle nor ideals, nor of innovation and vision of the true driving forces of change.” He continued: “Nasarawa people deserved better and I will do all in my power to ensure that as long as we are at

the helm of affairs, there will never be a return to dismal government in Nasarawa State. Let’s be judged by our record, not by the whims and fantasies of our adversaries.” Al-Makura went further by calling on all and sundry in the state to resolve firmly and irrevocably to reform the state’s politics and democracy so that power and privilege get to listen to the cries and yearnings of the people.

he flashpoints in the inaugural speech of President Muhammadu Buhari following his swearing in on May 29, included national security, the power sector, corruption, intergovernmental relations, democratic culture and rule of law, unemployment, amnesty programme and probe. The security issue topped his agenda and the good part was the command centre or defence headquarters will now be moving to Maiduguri in Borno State to face Boko Haram headlong. For years, the military generals had been enjoying the warmth and covering of Abuja while the boys had been out in the cold with inferior weapons and defence instruments, battling a more vicious, more inspired and better armed Boko Haram terrorists. The coordination had been poor, incentives critical and on top of all that the boys had been summarily arrested, tried, dismissed or sentenced to death in some cases for what the superiors termed poor marksmanship or undisciplined conduct. These had led to low morale and eventual serial losses of arms and territories to the enemy. It was only on the eve of elections that the Federal Government and the service chiefs had deemed it fit to seek alternative sources of war implements, acquire better weapons and defeat Boko Haram.

The Boko Haram crisis was brilliantly described as “small fires causing large fires” with the understanding of the factors in these large fires as “the official bungling, negligence, complacency, or collusion” of those who should have taken care of the situation. There cannot be a better measure than the plan to establish a post-crisis sociological study to determine the origins,

n Wednesday, the 27th of May, 2015, the Federal Road Safety Commission and its stakeholders collectively agreed to commence subtle enforcement (without booking) of the use of speed limiters in commercial vehicles from June 1, 2015 while from September 1, 2015, full enforcement will commence. This decision is a shift from the initial enforcement date of June I, 2015 which I wrote on a couple of weeks ago. I followed that piece with another which I titled “Road Safety is a shared responsibility” in which I highlighted the Corps Marshal and chief Executive of the Federal Road Safety, Mr. Boyoye Oyeyemi, policy drive on stakeholders buy in and the need for stronger collaboration especially in areas such as enforcement on retro reflective tapes, and speed limiting devices, and other initiatives .In that piece I captured the worry of the Corps Marshal over what he describes as the ‘unacceptable and avoidable crashes that are speed related, stressing that studies have shown that speed related factors alone accounted for about 50.8 percent of crashes that occurred in Nigeria last year. “As has been proven, speed limiting devices

An analysis of President Buhari’s agenda causes, sponsors and international connections- an assertion that will certainly have gotten some VIP masquerades behind the insurgency and some immediate and distant neighbouring countries’ leaders to start sweating in their air-conditioned offices or peeing in their pants. While it is commendable that the Buhari administration has conceived of a holistic table and solution blueprint to the gargantuan security situation- having included other critical areas of national concern, such as kidnappings, armed robberies, cattle rustlings and Fulani herdsmen and farmers’ violent face-offs in Plateau, Nassarawa, Benue and other places; the impracticable aspect that should have not been mentioned is the promise to rescue the Chibok girls. Buhari is a retired General and should therefore know better that women captured in war situation are considered as spoils of war- raped, married off, taken far away to distant lands, or even killed. And in a situation in which hundreds of girls and women are captured and kept in a vulnerable hideout as Sambisa seems to have now been, such “spoils” are either taken further away or summarily murdered. The plan to “rescue” the ladies is therefore a political tonic to warm his administration to the hearts of the Borno locals and that of the international community’s. He should have been realistic or pragmatic in that regard; at best, he should have been silent on it, as people will quote him later and use that promise against him if he fails to deliver the girls. While condemning corruption and promising to rout it in his trademark style, he limited the blueprint to the leakages and hangers-on that often line up along the political expressway between the federal, states and local governments for cuts in allocations as well as other critical national resources. The Buhari administration will deal with the issue of providing proper accountability in the disbursement, management and spending of allocations from the Federation Account.

In this regard, the three tiers of government would have to identify their places in political and fiscal federalism so as to allow for proper and effective governance. Based on Buhari’s pedigree of incorruptibility in public administration, one would have expected a declaration of a state of emergency on corruption and a possible hint on the re-enactment of war against moral, political and financial indiscipline. This might come later, but being his trademark, it was expected that he harped on it from the outset. His expectation that the judiciary under their dispensation would have to deal with corruption cases expeditiously however, sounded gratifying. The speech also hinted on clarification and unambiguous constitutional delineations of the powers of the three organs of government, in which Buhari tasked the legislature and judicial arms to keep faith with their constitutional roles, while also promising to ensure an outplay of cooperation and understanding between the executive and the other arms and no interference from him or the executive in the performance of the other bodies. This sounded very nice too, and qualifies Buhari to be called a true democrat “born against” military dictatorship. Buhari was critical of the odious state of the power sector, disclosing that the country had been able to generate only about 4,000 megawatts and could only distribute about 2,000 as at last Friday, May 29. But he only assured that a careful scientific study of the situation was already on, that would provide the recipes for settling that power problem once and for all. On education, medicare and infrastructure, Buhari had one sentence for each of them, vowing to look into them with the view to overhauling them. He gave the panacea to unemployment as revival of agriculture, solid minerals mining and strengthening small and medium scale enterprises, which will provide lots of job opportunities to the youths. On amnesty for Niger Delta exmilitants, what can be deduced is that once it ends in December, that will be so much for

it, as only the projects will continue to enjoy “heavy” investments. On foreign policy, Buhari seemed not sure yet what this would be as he only simplistically and uncritically mentioned that Nigeria would play any leadership role expected of it in Africa and beyond. This did not show an understanding of the wasteful and unnecessary “leadership” roles the country had played in the distant and immediate past, while maintaining silence on what Nigeria could do in the face of sliding oil prices, global climate change and general regional security. The President has to go back to the drawing board and bring in seasoned diplomats and foreign policy architects/scholars to review Nigeria’s foreign policy and chart a more cohesive Nigeriacentric foreign policy with an eye for leadership on the continent. Buhari seemed to have made himself clear on probing or what many had feared as impending retribution against his old detractors and past thieves in government houses. He had once said he could not change the past; this was reiterated last Friday when he said: “a few people have privately voiced fears that...I shall go after them… There will be no paying off old scores. The past is prologue”. This was heartwarming to the “guilty” that had always sought Buhari’s loss in his previous elections. The way the declaration was made also placed Buhari in the class of mature, focused and magnanimous statesmen, who will not allow the huge demands of good governance be undermined by petty brick-bats and victimization, for which many past rulers are known. The most compellingly interesting and probably controversial submission was Buhari’s quotable quote: “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody”. • Dr. Folarin, an Associate Professor, is the immediate past Head of Department of Political Science and International Relations, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

Still on the June 1 speed limiter enforcement date automatically control the speed of a moving vehicle to the programmed speed limits against the tendency of the drivers to drive above the stipulated speed limits… The use of speed limiting device in vehicles, is however, not new in automobile technology, as some nations even in Africa, had since introduced its usage as a means of controlling speed on their roads. The speed limiter imitative would make Nigeria join other countries, including African countries like Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, where it has significantly reduced road traffic crashes. But most importantly for Nigeria, the speed limiter initiative could translate to a wholesome reduction of road traffic crashes nationwide by at least 35 per cent. When the phase two of the initiative is extended to other categories of motorists, especially the private vehicle owners, road traffic crash fatality would have been brought under manageable control in Nigeria. This will certainly facilitate to a large extent the goals of the Vision 20:2020 of placing Nigerian roads within the league of the twenty safest global roads. “The enforcement is in keeping with the provision of the National Road Traffic Regulations,2015 which in Section 152 in keeping with best practice to cut excessive speeding which today constitutes a major challenge in our drive to reduce road traffic crashes states that (4) a person shall not drive a vehicle on a public road which is not fitted with a speed limiter noting that (5) Any person who acts in contravention of this regulation shall be regulation shall be guilty of any offence and liable on conviction to a fine or a term of imprisonment of three

months or both. The same 2012 Regulations in Section 152.- (1) states that; A person shall not drive a vehicle on an public road in excess of the prescribed speed limit provided in schedule 8 to these regulations or as may be published from time to time by the Commission. It further states in sub-section 2, that notwithstanding sub-regulation (1) of this regulation, no person shall drive a vehicle on any public road in excess of the speed limit indicated by an appropriate road traffic sign in respect of that road. . The appropriate road sign referred to by the regulations includes the maximum speed limit of 100km/ph reserved only for private cars and 90km/ph for taxis and buses while the speed limit for built up areas could be anything between 30-50km/ph or less. Despite the novelty of the speed limiting device in checkmating excessive speeding and the fact that speed is a problem, stakeholders and motorists as is usual with strategies and innovations by the Commission to crash deaths and injuries on our highways, have always had two or sometimes three opposing opinions. While stakeholders who are proactive in the use of best practices are always quick to embrace these innovations, there are those whose response is often slow with initial apprehension and ultimately acceptance. The same has been the case with the speed limiter enforcement. My interest today is on the group of stakeholders who from the onset embraced the novelty but at a recent press parley held 26th May in Abuja appealed to the Commission to postpone the June 1 enforcement date which they described as good. However in their opinion the

just concluded national elections ate into their advocacy campaigns meant to raise awareness and acceptance of the scheme. These stakeholders were drawn from the following Unions; Petroluem Tankers Drivers (PTD)of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG),National Union of Road Transport Workers(NURTW),Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria(RTEAN)called on the leadership of the Commission to rethink the date and grant them more time to enable them reach out to their members. The first to throw the salvo was Mr. Salmon Oladiti, the Chairman of PTD who said that, ‘we want to use this opportunity to appeal to the authority that they should give us a little time in order to sensitise our members across the country noting that speed limiter device is very good for our country as it controls our drivers on the highways. He observed that if their request for a 90days or three months extension can be granted, it will be good. Although the FRSC boss, Boboye Oyeyemi said only stakeholders can adjust this date, it is exciting to know that 72 hours after this appeal was made, key stakeholders arose from a crucial parley in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory on Friday, 27th May, 2015 with the commencement of subtle enforcement effective June1, 2015 and full enforcement from September 1st 2015.

Managing the burden of blood flukes TITILOPE MORAKINYO

chistosoma, commonly known as blood-flukes, is acute and chronic parasitic disease caused by flatworms and responsible for a highly significant group of infections in humans. It is considered by the World Health Organisation as the second most socio-economically devastating parasitic disease (after malaria), with hundreds of millions infected worldwide. It is a parasitic infection widespread in 74 resource-poor nations; it is water-borne and enters the human body through the skin. Schistosoma is a neglected tropical disease while its global health impact is grossly underestimated. It mostly affects poor and rural communities, particularly agricultural and fishing populations. Women doing domestic chores-infested water, such as washing clothes, are also at risk and they also suffer considerably from female genital that causes infertility, preterm labour, anemia, menstrual disorders, and dyspareunia. More effort is needed to prevent schistosomiasis, and treating pregnant lactating women decreases the disease burden and improves maternal and fetal outcome. Inadequate hygiene and contact with infected water make children, especially vulnerable to the infection. The disease is increasing in urban areas as migration and population movements are introducing it to new areas and increased population size. Corresponding needs for power and water often result in development schemes and environmental modifications facilitate transmission. People who are infected during routine agricultural, domestic, occupational and recreational activities expose them to infested water. Lack of hygiene and certain play habits of school-aged children such as swimming or fishing in infested water

make them especially vulnerable to infection. According to experts, the number of deaths due to the disease is difficult to estimate because of hidden pathologies such as liver and kidney failure, bladder cancer and estimation vary widely between 20,000 and 2,000,000 deaths per year. Over 261 million people required preventive treatment for schistosomiasis in 2013 and more than 40 million people were also treated that year. In an interview with Sunday Mirror, a medical practitioner with Advent Hospital, Gbagada Lagos, Dr Tony Adekunle, defined blood flukes as parasitic flatworms that live inside a sufferer for decades, and as they make a dreadful journey to get to the body after hatching in water-contaminated by feces, they hitch into the human body on a tiny snail host

Dental body seeks members’ welfare Medical and Dental Specialists Association in Basic and Medical Sciences of Nigeria (MEDSABAMS) has appealed to the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), Professor Julius Okojie, to prevail on Nigerian universities to recognise the association and ensure prompt payment of its members’ allowances. Briefing the Executive Secretary during a courtesy visit to the NUC Secretariat last week, leader of the delegation, Professor M.B.T. Umar, thanked him for recognising the association as an entity and for

granting him and his team audience. Umar stated that the association was born out of the necessity to bring together all medical doctors with MBBS, with the aim of improving research, education as well as the welfare of members. He noted that doctors’ allowance and other welfare package had been forgotten, adding that some institutions recognised the association while others did not, thus bringing suffering to their members in those institutions. The Executive Secretary told the

that burrows through the skin The medical condition can cause anaemia, stunting and a reduced ability to learn, as the effects are usually reversible with treatment. However, it may affect people’s ability to work and can result in death. Blood flukes like many tropical diseases are endemic in areas where poor living conditions and poverty are prevalent. Often, individuals in these regions are also co-infected with other parasitic diseases such as malaria and hook worm. The doctor explained that women and children, especially at age 10 to 19 years are at high risk mainly because children play in water and women use water for their daily chores. It also affects the uterine environment during pregnancy as studies have demonstrated that pregnant women infected with the disease have low

association that for proper recognition, they needed to first register with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and find a way of improving themselves, asking them to write officially to the Commission so that the NUC could communicate to the Vice-Chancellors of universities for their entitlement to be paid so as to ensure quality teaching in the medical schools. Professor Okojie charged the MEDSABAMS members to have a followership of some corporate bodies which would help improve their skills and also be of benefit to the students and the Nigeria University System (NUS).

birth weight infants, and an increased infant and maternal mortality rate Dr Adekunle said: “The symptoms vary with the species of worm and the phase of infection as heavy infestation causes fever, chills, lymph node enlargement, liver and spleen enlargement. The initial invasion of the skin can also cause itching and a rash. The intestinal symptoms include abdominal pain and diarrhoea which may be bloody and urinary symptoms may include frequent urination, painful urination and blood in the urine”. He, however, said that “blood flukes can be prevented by avoiding swimming or bathing in contaminated or potentially contaminated water. He added that, Snails are an intermediate host for the parasite so getting rid of snails in bodies of water used by humans would help prevent infection. The first step in getting correct treatment is to do a correct diagnosis as differential diagnosis list may include amebiasis, bacterial dysentery and viral hepatitis. He also explained that medications are prescribed antibiotics which will reduce the level and urged patients not to skip doses He urged patients to take prescribed antibiotics as directed by the medic. Also, patients should not stop taking the medication just because they feel better, and when they feel worse, they should talk to their doctor before they stop medication.

Wringing Nigerians through needless energy crisis

hocking and unbelievable, but it is true. For the better part of last May, at a period Nigerians expected a seamless transition process to usher in the new All Progressives Congress, APC, administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria was enveloped in near darkness when electricity supply dropped to an all time low of 1,327MW, and an acute fuel shortage scenario played out all over the country. The costs on Nigerians and business were monstrous as all economic and social activities screeched to a grinding halt. Industry experts have described the development as the worst energy crisis Nigeria has ever gone through. It will not be uncharitable to say that the Federal Government played the ostrich, flexing muscles with the oil marketers as the scenario ran its full course, while doing nothing meaningful and realistic to stop the drift. The ruckus was double-faceted. First, the oil marketers wanted full payment for services rendered to enable them have the funds to import new consignments of petroleum product into the country. The sum of N200 billion was named as their outstanding bill, but this was faulted by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. OkonjoIweala, who insisted the amount owed was N131 billion - this was later reviewed to N159 billion. While agreeing that prudence is required in the management of the nation’s resources, especially at a transition period like we just had, however, we take exception to the long drawn out battle between the oil marketers and the federal authorities that grounded the nation for the better part of three weeks and traumatised Nigerians and foreigners alike. Government, as the most fundamental institution of a state, exists to moderate all competing pressures on the country, especially from the non-state actors. The more efficient this function is carried out the better for the health of the concerned state. It is very

unfortunate that the Federal Government rose up very late, and after a lot of collateral damage was done to the economy and the psyche of Nigerians. The second facet of the crisis arose from certain corporate dissonance from within the unwieldy Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. At the centre of the dissonance was the furore generated by the transfer of the operatorship of Oil Mining Lease (OML) 42, which hosts the Odidi, Jones Creek and Batan-Egwa oil fields and has the capacity to produce more than 120,000 barrels of crude oil a day, from the Nigerian Petroleum Develop-

ONE OTHER FACT THAT MUST BE ESTABLISHED IS THAT THE PRESENT RELIANCE ON OIL MARKETERS, WHOSE ONLY MOTIVE IN BUSINESS IS PROFIT, HAS TO BE REVERSED…

ment Company, NPDC, to Neconde Energy Limited by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke. Though the decision informing the transfer was said to be on the grounds that the NPDC had proved to be inept and inefficient and was operating at below capacity, the officials of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas, NUPENG, and Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, thought otherwise, which was why they ordered their members to go on strike to press home their demand for the reversal of the transfer. That strike was why the Nigerian Gas Company, NGC, could not meet the gas requirement for powering 18 of the 23 thermal power stations in the country, for example Egbin, Olorunsogo I and II, Omotosho I and II, Geregu

I and II, Ihonvor, Sapele and Alaoji. The crisis was also compounded by the action of the tanker drivers, which under the aegis of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers, PTD, section of NUPENG, called out their members to withdraw from the roads, in protest against the non-payment of their salaries and haulage fees by the marketers. By this development, the NNPC’s supplier of last resort role of keeping the nation wet from its strategic reserves was hamstrung as there were no drivers, especially those at the Pipeline and Products Marketing Company, PPMC, to lift fuel from several of its depots, which remained shut. The point must be forcefully made that electricity is pivotal to the development of nations. Its use is directly correlated with healthy economic growth, as exemplified by the huge generation capacities of highly developed countries of the world. In normal times, the less than 5, 000MW optimal generation capacity of the country fall far below the national demand of 20, 000MW. It is, therefore, expedient on the federal authorities to do nothing untoward that could further disrupt the supply equilibrium. While the crisis lasted, big businesses like the Dangote Group, telecom companies, airlines, media houses, bakeries, hotels, as well as hundreds of small businesses across the country and even households reeled from the excruciating effects. Alhaji Aliko Dangote, owner of the Dangote Group, disclosed that his cement plants at Ibese, Kogi State and Gboko, Benue State were shut resulting in daily loss of billions of naira. One other fact that must be established is that the present reliance on oil marketers, whose only motive in business is profit, has to be reversed by both encouraging private ownership of oil refineries and the government refurbishing the four underperforming public refineries in Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri. This is a task for the new Buhari government.

L-R: Diocesan Bishop of Lagos (Anglican Communion), Rev Dr Ephraim Ademowo; Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola and former Justice of the Supreme Court, George Oguntade, at the event.

ll roads led to our Saviour’s Church Tafa Balewa Square, Lagos when the Diocese of Lagos, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion held the third session of its 32nd synod recently in grand style.

The session which was presided by the Diocesan Bishop of Lagos and Dean Emeritus, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), the Most Revd (Dr.) Ephraim Adebola Ademowo with the theme “The Authority of the Scriptures” had in attendance the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) and a host of other personalities and clerics from far and near. While delivering his presidential address, Revd Ademowo enjoined the entire nation to appreciate the Holy Scriptures as God’s compass for His creatures and to depend absolutely on the Word of God as their light in a dark and bewildering world. He also called on parents to rise with fresh zeal and determination to read, study, and meditate on the word of God daily with their children so that they would laying a solid foundation for the young ones for them to follow a life modelled on God’s word. “I commend His Excellency Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola for attending the Synod every year since he became the Governor in 2007, we acknowledge his energetic leadership and unreserved commitment to the progress of Lagos State. I also thank Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for providing an enabling environment for an electoral process that allowed the voice of the people to be heard. I congratulate the President elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) and Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President elect and urge them to deliver fully on their campaign promises to a nation in high expectation, especially their promise to tackle corruption head-long and other vices that bedevil the country’, he said. He counseled the in-coming administration to sift what is commendable from the outgoing administration and build on them in the overall interest of the nation. “Given the cost to the nation of the National Conference and the many good and helpful ideas that were generated by the conference, I would suggest that the recommendations made should be studied with a view to evolv-

ing a truly federal structure for the country with federating units that have the capacity to develop without having to rely 100% on crumbs from an over-bearing Federal Government. It is in the country’s longterm interest that the structure that would emerge would place more emphasis on the governed than on governance with funds released from the current high cost of governance channeled towards infrastructural development”, he admonished. He advised that with the courageous steps taken to break the more than century-old monopoly of ECN/NEPA/PHCN and deregulate the power sector of the economy with all the billions of dollars invested in that sector in the last sixteen years, an enabling environment for an end to generator-powered economy must be a priority of the new administration. “We commend the government of Lagos State for the provision of Independent Power Project (IPP) to power some basic establishments and religious centres, thus drastically reducing the recurrent expenditure on power by these organizations and challenges governments at the federal and state levels to emulate this laudable gesture, which is capable of serving as the needed catalyst for the nation’s economic development. Much has been said about recent advances in the Agricultural sector of the nation. These advances need to be built upon with a view to reducing wastage, encouraging processing and preservation to ensure year-round availability of food for local consumption and for export”, he added. The cleric advocated placing infrastructural developments on the front burner adding that road and air transportation facilities would continue to be improved upon, the nation sorely needs modern rail and inland water transportation facilities to open up the nation’s economy. While calling for a more galvanized action to secure the freedom and ensure full rehabilitation for the women who were rescued from Boko Haram captivity in Sambisa forest, Ademowo expressed deep concern over the level of insecurity in the country and pains of those who lost dear

He also noted with concern the prevailing situation in the country that had given rise to high unemployment rates across the nation and called on government at all levels as well as private institutions and corporate bodies to create more employment opportunities especially for the growing youth population in order to reduce the increasing number of unemployed people in the country. “We appreciate the Nigerian Army in the wake of their recent streak of successes in the battles against insurgents and the rescue of a large number of women and children in the North-East. We are also concerned about the fact that governments at both the federal and state level were not meeting their obligations including payment of salaries and maintenance of basic infrastructural amenities. Synod is worried about the plight of the teeming Nigerian work force who have endured considerable hardship and suffering and calls on the government to immediately pay their salaries as and at when due to alleviate their suffering”, he said. The cleric noted with grave concern the growing decadence in societal morals and values and out-rightly condemned the rising rates of indiscipline that is sadly apparent, at all levels of the Nigerian society. Synod recommends that families should expose their children and wards to biblical teachings and practices as a means to remedy the prevailing decadence. They enjoined citizens to cultivate positive mind-sets that reflect a corresponding sense of gratitude and fear of God in their dealings with God and fellowmen. “Christians should sincerely fear the mighty and awesome God, first, by committing their lives to the exclusive ruler ship of the Lord Jesus Christ and also by living with the power of His Holy Spirit, through whom they bring forth the fruit of the Spirit reflected in lives that eschew evil and speak out boldly against sin in the society. The complexities and intricacies of the Nigerian nation-state with its attendant challenges of unity and peaceful co-existence notwithstanding, the more assuring certainty of God’s unique ability to restore lost glories even of a plundered fatherland, provides a soothing hope of His Divine Intervention. We call for true national re-birth which must begin with every family through the inculcation of such nationalistic and patriotic values as truth, fairness, selflessness and justice in every Nigerian”, he submitted.

The power of sacrifice (2) (Text: Psalms 51:17) Miracle Arena with Bishop

“

Theo Ugochukwu

he sacrifices of God are broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise”. As I noted in our previous edition, Sacrifice is a very powerful key, any day, anytime, irrespective of whether the sacrifice is for God or for the devil. There is good and bad sacrifice. The greater your sacrifice the power of release. After the rare act of obedience of Abraham in Genesis 22:12, “…God spoke and He said, lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me”.

In the next verse, he was provide with a ram for the sacrifice. As a result of his total obedience to God and not just that, Abraham’s action was triggered by a deluge of divine pronouncements from Heaven. Let us see what a man’s sacrifice and altar of obedience provoked the heavens to release an unction that will follow the coming generations. Let us see what the Almighty says about obedience. This is what the Lord says “Because you have obeyed me and have not withheld even your beloved and only son, I swear by my own self that I will bless you richly. {Gen.22:17} “That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed. As the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is upon the sea shore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies”. All these blessings came upon a man and the coming generations after him, because of an act of sacrifice. This is

a secret I have applied for many years, that people keep asking me what is my secret of divine blessings. I keep raising altars of sacrifice. Pray that heaven will open your eyes to this kingdom revelation today. One very important principle we should understand in raising altar of sacrifice is that God must be first in everything, both in your life, family, career and your business. God’s business must come first. This is where many Christians experience difficulty thereby bringing God’s anger upon themselves. Sacrifice was Solomon’s major strength for his relationship with God. 1 Chron.1:1 “And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly”. Wherever sacrifice is offered, God is always attracted because the altar of sacrifice is a permanent dwelling place of God. the Bible went further to say more about Solomon in 2 Chron.1:6-7, “And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it”. What happened thereafter? Heavenly unction followed it in verse 7, “In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, “Ask what I shall give thee”. Also in 2 Chron.7:4-5, the Bible records another feat for Solomon, “Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two hundred thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep”. Verse 12, “And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, “I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place for an house of sacrifice”.

God usually responds to sacrifice with speed. Every place of honest and sincere sacrifice is usually God’s choice if dwelling. Amen! God can’t say no to sacrifice when it is offered with a pure heart. Every sacrifice must cost you something, your children going to school is a sacrifice you are paying for their greatness in life. It will cost you money and your time because that is a sacrifice you will make if really you want them to go through school and their future to be great. For your relationship to work, for your marriage, career or vision to work, you have to sacrifice something. Paul was a Pharisee but he gave it up for Jesus. He was also persecuting the Church; he also gave it up for Jesus. Everything he had, he gave up for Jesus. That was a great sacrifice. Romans 12:1, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service”. Ministers of the gospel these days measure their success not by the level of the anointing that flows in them, but rather how big the size of their pockets. All we want is just to receive from God without giving back. Today, the desire to work with God and the great commission is suffering a great and serious setback. Many prefer to sit on the already made and dusted seats, preferring to sit idle in Zion, while others are laboring for them. What kind of sacrifice do you offer to God? Is the sacrifice for the things will pass away or sacrifice for the things that will last forever? I prophecy power of the Spirit of God will break forth in your life the moment you start to make sacrifices for the things of God.

Years back I remember an instance when I lost my father. Before then, I was building our Regional Headquarters; and I was looking forward to the day of dedication of the Church, so I was imagining the kind of faces that would make it during the dedication, including my father, but unfortunately, he died before the Church was even roofed which later collapsed. You can put yourself in my position, after all the money, the sacrifice I personally made, the Generator Set for our branch church that was sold in the course of the kingdom expansion, all these moved me to start shedding tears. But when the Bishops of PICCAN came for the burial of my father, I brought them to the debris and told them to pray to God to revive it again. I stood before them and made another vow, that if God helps me to recover certain money that I was being owed, that I would start the project again. To God be the glory, before two weeks of that vow, the money came in, and I commenced work on the project again. Today, that Sanctuary is bringing glory to God. The Almighty has also answered me by giving me a Bishop’s Court beside that Church. I pray that your sacrifice will never be forgotten in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. •For more information, contact: Bishop Theo Ugochukwu – General Overseer, Miracle Assembly Bible Church, a.k.a.

News Cleric bemoans maternal, infant mortality rates

Our children deserve better deal, says Martins

…as RCCG dedicates maternity centre

...Charges Buhari to place premium on religious and moral development

Obadan made this observation recently when the Church dedicated a modern maternity centre for the people of Oriokuta community in Ikorodu area of Lagos. Speaking on the occasion, Obadan who represented Senior Pastor Olusegun Osunsan, Pastor in charge of Province, said This is the marching order given to us by the General Overseer, Pastor E A Adeboye to ensure that where ever we have a church we must affect the community we are situated. “The General Overseer set up a corporate Social Responsibility department, CSR in all provinces and by extension in all parishes. It is in the spirit of CSR that the zonal pastor of this parish, Pastor Joseph Idowu and all members of breakthrough zonal headquarters sought to affect the lives of the women of Ori-okuta through the setting up of a modern maternity centre”, he revealed. According to the cleric, the United Nations World Population records Nigeria as

s Nigeria joined the rest of the world to mark this year’s World Children’s’ Day, the Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, His Grace, (Dr) Alfred Adewale Martins has urged the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to place premium on the religious and moral development of the Nigerian child in order to breed honest and God-fearing crop of future leaders.

ssistant Pastor in charge of Province (Admin) Pastor Godwin Obadan of RCCG Overcomers Parish, Ikorodu, Lagos province 22 head quarters has lamented the high rate of maternal and infant mortality in the country.

Pastor Obadan, 3rd from left with members of RCCG and staff of the maternity centre

still ranking high in the list of countries with high maternal and infant mortality rates with a ratio of 545 per 100,000 live births on the maternal mortality index, and only 75 per 1000 live births on the infant mortality index. He added that only 58 per cent of the women have access to ante-natal care. “It is noteworthy to state here that In this province, the CSR department has been involved in several other projects such as mounting of street lights, donation of bore holes to several communities, free skill acquisition/empowerment training programmes, provision of toilet to primary schools, rehabilitation of community town halls among others all in Ikorodu”, he further revealed.

In his goodwill message to the Nigerian child signed by the Director of Social Communications, Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Msgr Gabriel Osu, Archbishop Martins, while congratulating the celebrants, urged them also to always emulate the virtues of our Lord and Saviour Jesus who, as a child, was very submissive to the authorities of his parents by being obedient to them at all times. “I wish to congratulate the Nigerian Child on this auspicious occasion of World Children Day, a day set aside to celebrate our children who are the future of our country and the world as a whole. However, this opportunity also affords us all to reflect on the pres-

ent well-being of the Nigerian child and how well they have fared over the years. “From all indications, it is obvious that much still needs to be don in order to safeguard their future.” Archbishop Martins, while listing juvenile delinquency, poverty, social inequality, failed educational system, family problems and peer pressure, as some of the challenges facing the Nigerian child, challenged the in-coming administration to, as a matter of urgency, re-introduce moral and religious instructions in our educational curriculum to help curb the alarming rate of moral decay in the society. On the high rate of abandoned children and orphans now roaming the streets, especially in the North-East region, Archbishop Martins called on government to take over the welfare of such children and ensure they receive proper care and education so that in the near future they would not become liabilities, but be in a position to contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of the country.

Christians going A

ccording to Edna Nahshon, a professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York to don shoes or to doff them, for Christians, has mixed religious undertones. Also, the Hebrew Scriptures record that when the children of Israel were about to make their flight from Egypt, they were told to put shoes on their feet, and this sturdy footwear miraculously held together throughout their journey. But at the moment of his encounter with God, Moses was ordered to take off his shoes because he was treading on sacred ground. In similar circumstances, Joshua received a similar injunction. The fathers of the early Christian church were intrigued by the instruction to Moses. They thought shoes reflected decay and mortality, because they were made from the skin of dead animals, while God was calling Moses to a richer form of life.

For some Christians, the white garment wearing ones in particular, even in this present day, going barefoot is symbolic of the fact that when they go to their places of worship and surroundings, they believe they have come into the presence of God and therefore standing on holy ground. It is easily argued in this circle that their garment (cassock) without shoes identifies the believer as a citizen of heaven, spiritual; no connection to the carnal and that the symbolism loses its meaning with the wearing of shoes. For members of the Celestial Church of Christ, they emulate their founder Apostle S.B.J. Oshoffa, who did not put on shoes when in the white church garment. For the Cherubim and Seraphim, it is Bible doctrine anchored on Exodus 3 v 2-5. The emphasis is on verse 5, thus C and S members do not put on shoes at any place they regarded as a contact point with God. Such place is been seen as sacred and holy. In a chat with Professor Kunle Macaulay, Director of Studies, United Bible University, Ojodu, Ogun State, he explained that there is no biblical teaching instructing Christians to walk barefoot in their places of worship. He added that it could be doctrinal, which means that it can either be used for identification or unification so that when people see them, they know that they are from a particular church, but asides that, it has no biblical basis. “I don’t know where those who decide to go barefoot to church or their worship centers so to say got that idea from, it has no biblical authority, though some may argue that God asked Moses to put off his shoes because he was standing on holy ground that is for Moses and the Old Testament. We must adhere strictly to the New Testament principles of the Bible. There is nothing like wearing or not wearing shoes, Christianity has nothing to do with

Worshippers

Footwear - shoes, sandals among others are seen as fundamentals of human life which people wear to protect their feet from the harshness of the ground and other hazards that could come to that part of the body when left bare. But it is amazing that some people Christians in particular, go to church and other places barefoot. ODINAKA ORUKPA looks at the reasons for this practice. what you wear or what you don’t wear, even though, it expects you to dress moderately, but it does not prescribe a particular way of dressing. Those people who think that they should take off their shoes are just making mistake; it is a scriptural blunder as far as I am concerned because they have no reason to do that. If they want to say their church is a holy place as they always claim, they must be aware of the fact that church doesn’t mean a place; theologically, church does not mean a building; church means people of God. Where ever two, three or more people gather together in the name of Jesus Christ that is what is called church, it can be in the market, it can be in the shopping mall, it can be on the road, that is what church is all about”, he explained He further explained that the practice is neither biblical nor is it theological, but it can be doctrinal for those who decide to make it so. “People make some practices their own doctrine as they decide that is what they want to do in their own church and it has nothing to do with Jesus Christ or Christianity, but they decide that as far as they are concerned, they want to wear gown, they don’t want to wear shoes, that is all; it

PEOPLE MAKE SOME PRACTICES THEIR OWN DOCTRINE AS THEY DECIDE THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IN THEIR OWN CHURCH AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH

JESUS CHRIST OR

CHRISTIANITY, BUT THEY DECIDE THAT AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED, THEY WANT TO WEAR GOWN, THEY DON’T WANT TO WEAR SHOES, THAT IS ALL; IT IS NOT SPIRITUAL. is not spiritual. If anybody says that it is God that told them not to wear shoes, I will come anywhere, anytime to prove that God will never confuse Christianity; He cannot tell some people to wear shoes and some people not to wear shoes. God is not a God of confusion. “This is the problem we have with Christianity now; people don’t understand the history of Christianity, Christianity is historical; it has a beginning and it is going to have an end. Christianity has a purpose, but today, we have lost focus, we have lost the purpose, we are doing what we want to do just to please ourselves and our followers and that is the problem”, he said. The theologian stated that whether it

is white garment or Pentecostal, as far as he is concerned, there is no biblical principle that says that one should not wear shoes or one should wear shoes when worshipping God. “Some people go as far to say something like ‘Moses removed’, we are not Moses, we are not on Mount Sinai; it is stupidity. If God told Moses to remove his shoes, He (God) does not tell us to remove ours and that was a specific instruction, we call it specific theology. When God speaks, He does so in specific manner, in Joshua’s case, God told him; Moses is dead; now, carry these people across River Jordan to the Promised Land that is the instruction for Josh-

ua. Some people will now say, we are crossing Jordan, we are coming from wilderness; all these theological interpretations are very wrong and stupid. We are meant to learn from what happened, we are not supposed to follow everything because the Bible is historical. For any reason, I don’t know why God told Moses to remove his shoes, but God does not tell us the New Testament Christians to remove our shoes and for the fact that Gold told Moses to remove his shoes does not mean that we should remove our shoes”, he argued. According to Pastor Peter Nwaru of Christ Embassy Church, Yaba, Lagos, the Bible should be the guiding standard for every true Christian and since it was not mentioned anywhere there that Christians should not wear shoes or dress in a particular way then those who on their own do these things are going contrary to the will of God. “The problem is that people want to imitate what they are not, some Christians believe that to adhere to God’s words, they need to remove their shoes like Moses or appear in white like the angels. We are not asked to imitate the heavenly bodies in dressing and we need no particular mode of dressing to remind us that we are the citizens of the kingdom of God we believe by faith. I am just trying to tell the people involved that this doctrine of not wearing shoes in the presence of God is purely man made. There is no biblical backing to this practice, rather, it was a command given by their pastors

or whatever they call their preachers. Moreover, the church of Christ is not a temple neither is it a shrine which are places where people are likely to pull of their shoes when they want to step in. Yes, our God is holy but He did not command Christians to take off their shoes when they gather together in his name”, he stated. He further said that the bible admonishes Christians to dress modestly adding that even Jesus wore sandals in His lifetime. “When dressing to go out people are meant dress properly, which includes putting on footwear to cover their feet. The doctrine that one must take off their shoes in the presence of God does not have biblical backing and thus is not in a Christian doctrine, but manmade. The bible does not have to tell you to wear shoes because it is common sense, it is like telling you to wear cloth to cover your nakedness when you already know you should do so. We Christians are not to respect a holy ground but keep our body holy because that is the real house or temple of God where the Holy Spirit dwells. God does not dwell in houses made with brick and cement”, he added. According to Pastor Victor Odutola of Holy Chapel Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Obele Kolade, Lagos, he is not contending the fact that there is no explicit commandment in the Bible asking Christians to wear shoes or not wear shoes in church or while wearing their white garments, but that God can-

not be confined to a specific mode. “The point is that you cannot confine God to a single mode of doing things and that is the beauty of God. To one man Jesus commanded ‘go wash in the water’, to another He said, ‘your faith has made you whole’, and yet to another he spat on the ground, made some clay, and rubbed on the man’s eyes. The injunction not to wear shoes is for those Christians who want it that way, not all of Christendom. The man who was told to go wash in the water can’t come telling the man for whom Christ spat and made clay that his way is wrong. Not wearing shoes is symbolic of the fact that the place where the believer comes into the presence of God is a holy ground. The sutana (cassock) without shoes identifies the believer as a citizen of heaven, spiritual, with no connection to the carnal and the symbolism loses its meaning with the wearing of shoes’, he explained. Odutola argued that aside the Bible verse where God asked Moses to remove his shoes, going barefoot is part of the sacrifice of practicing their religion adding that the same could be said for Muslim ladies who wear her facial coverings because their religion dictates the covering of sensitive parts

and some of them won’t step out without wearing the covering which has become part of them. “It is their belief; it is their faith and just the best way they feel they can practice their religion so it is for us too. Yes we might argue that the bible never said a Christian must pull off his shoes in the presence of God, in the same vein, we can still say there is no law in the Bible forbidding such practice and as I know very well, the Bible states that where there is no law, there is no sin, so why would anyone chose to oppose the practice? A lot of what is done in the church is emblematic of what is done in heaven; you can read the book of Revelations to confirm this. The underlying idea of the mode of dressing in the church is to reinforce the knowledge that the believer is a citizen of heaven and is as the saints are in heaven. The garment with no shoes on represents the glorious body the believer will be clothed with in heaven. It is interesting to note that when John saw Jesus in heaven, He (Jesus) is described as being clothed in white garment and without shoes. We know this because John described the feet of Christ. Would there be need for shoes in heaven? he queried.

From the

Pulpit Sunday May 31, 2015

A sign from Heaven (1) General Overseer of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, in this piece, explains how to make heaven. Excerpts:

Thess 5:1-3 says, “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3. 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”

Having seen that the world is now characterized by death- defying situation, there is no doubt that the rapture of the saints is at hand. No one should therefore be carried away with the temporary peace that the world is clamoring for. The reason being that in the face of this peace sudden destruction awaits those who are in darkness, those who are still living in sin, those who may not make rapture and compromisers. There is no harmony in the peace initiated and designed by the people of the world. Those that hope in it will be sunk in security. In it the world may think that they will be saved. Thus they will see no danger in it or give heed to warning. But at that time the rapture will take place for God’s visitation always comes when the wicked least expected it. So it was in the time of the flood; in the destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah, and in the overthrow of Babylon; so it is when the sinner dies. One of the most remarkable facts about the history of man is, that he takes no warning from the warning signs of his Maker. 1 Thess 5:3-5, “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. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness” So take note that very shortly in the face of the peace the world is clamouring for, the Lord shall appear and all those that are not born again will not have opportunity to be born again any longer. So let it be known to you who are born again and are children of God that we must not be carried away by the temporary peace, and joy we are seeing in the world. We must not work like those without knowledge, those in darkness rather we should all be ready, watchful because that day is at hand. Remember, a n t i Christ is taki n g position

all over the world. You may know it or not but the fact is that anti-Christ is taking position all over the world. There is no country of the world today that has no present of anti-Christ. One remarkable sign of their presence is the trouble that emerge in any nation they step their foot, and the whole world is in turmoil because of them. They are reacting because they know that there time is at hand. Perceiving the church as an obstacle to their wicked enterprise, they quickly embark upon destroying Churches and persecuting Christians for there is little or no more time for them. That’s why they are coursing trouble everywhere so that their leader the beast can emerge with counterfeit peace and sinners who are clamouring for peace will accept him and his number. All I want you to understand is that if you are a Christian, the world is not your home. If you are a child of God, don’t be deceived or carried away by all the programme of the world. You should understand that all that is happening g in the world today are the work of anti-Christ who are the forerunners of the beast and are preparing for their leader, the beast, that man of sin to emerge ge e and if you look loo ok around, you will willl ll see they are all-most taking over because there’s no more time. 1 John 2:18 says, “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shalll come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby w e

know that it is the last time” You have heard that ant-Christ will come but there are so many antichrists’ already who are preparing the way for the main anti-Christ, the beast himself to appear. If there were many antichrists in the days of the apostles – those that opposed Christ, how much more this end time that is why in the world today, they are taking over. That is why today the world is in turmoil. And the mayhem and confusion are warnings to all believers to take heed to themselves that they may not be carried away by the fantasies of the world and be not corrupted for the end in is at hand. 2 Thess 2:6-8, “And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then that Wicked be revealed, shall whom w om the Lord wh shall consh sume

with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming” Now take note my brothers and sisters, why have antichrist yet to appear, it is because there are people who through prayers and righteous living are vehemently opposing and binding him. And as long as these people are found on earth, his appearance will remain opposed until they are taken away, that is until rapture when the saints shall go to meet with the Lord. Then at that time, at the sound of the trumpet he shall appear. That is why he is going around the world ensuring that Christianity is terminated and believers are weakened so that there will be no real believer in the world any longer. So that, as the world is being polluted by the introduction of homosexuality, legalization of gay marriages, abortion, etc and armed robbers, divorces, prostitution and cultists continue to increase, and God seeing that they have provoked Him enough, will appear and take the saints away and then the main anti-Christ who they are waiting and preparing for will appear. But take note, he will not appear when there are many people that are righteous and praying and hindering him. That is why it seems there is still a break in the catastrophe besieging the world. Already, tthey th ey are doing everything to provoke the Lord L ord to come and take His people away sso o that, the wicked man shall appear. The Bible B ible said that his coming is as a representtative ta ative of Satan. 2 Thess 2:8-9 states, “And then shall that Wicked W icked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume consume with the spirit of his mouth, and and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders”. The antichrist is coming with all kinds of wickedness, including lying miracles, miracles, signs and wonders to devour people people who will not make rapture. But he will not yet come because of the righteous people that are hindering and opposing him. And because of the good work of these people, the Lord will not come to take them away for He knows that these righteous rri igh g teous people are going about, preaching p pr eaching the world and ttrying tr ying to turn the world

Passion

‘There’s less nudity, ladies now dress properly’ Temitope Olanre-Alade is a style enthusiast that cannot be ignored. She can’t be caught shabbily dressed. Aside from being a fashionista who trains others on how to sew in her fashion school, she is also the Secretary-General of Fashion Designers’ Association of Nigeria. In this interview with Adaeze Amos, she talks about today’s style and what Nigerian ladies have done best of late. What is Ibile Vogue Academy all about? It is a cosmopolitan fashion and clothing line, of Nigerian brand that makes the African culture global in the fashion world. That is what I have been doing for over a decade and it has been great. At a point, we had industrial training, because people started admiring what I do and they came en masse to be trained. That was how I started training people. I then went ahead to do some training programmes for myself to be well equipped, I would say that I do not only have the passion to train but also the zeal to be trained adequately in what I do. So, Ibile Vogue Academy has been doing well. All has been good. You are a member of Fashion Designers’ Association of Nigeria, FADAN; what position do you hold in the organisation? I’m the National Secretary General of FADAN. It is the only fashion body recognised by the Federal Government. It is an umbrella where every professional designer has a voice to be sure that professional ethics can be observed in our industry. It is also a forum where fashion designers can come together to make more things happen well the way we want it. We have been able to push certain rights to the government, urging banks to help the organisation. We are into the business of promoting fashion shows where buyers can actually come and purchase what they desire to from the right sources. Being a fashionista and a designer that sets the pace in the fashion world, what really inspires your style when you are set to dress up for a glamorous event? I like to stand out in a very subtle way. That is a key for me. You know you can actually stand out but it would be very unpleasant to the eyes or unpleasant to decent-minded people who would be wondering what really you are putting on and why you should wear such outfit. But, for me I like to stand out in a subtle way bearing sophistication in mind. I would like to attract attention at such events which I believe is the dream of every woman. Why do you want to be noticed at events? I want to be noticed because I want to sell. I want you to notice what I’m putting on so that you will like it and I can sell to you. It is basically for that and nothing else. It boils down to business at the end of the day. Can you now define you style? My style is glamorous, sexy and comfortable. Where do you think ladies are not getting it right in fashion? I think one of the major issues here is that we don’t understand our body. You should know your body and adorn it accordingly. As a seasoned fashion designer, I do tell my clients to be mindful of their body structure first before opting for any style. The style I can wear and rock it well, another lady may opt for and it may not come out well on her. So, we need to understand what works for our body. But this does not rule out the fact that Nigerian women are very fashionable. But knowing what suits us and sticking to it has been a problem. It’s only a few women that have discovered their own secret signature style so much that when people see them without waiting to see their faces, they would recognised at once. Another point I will like to hammer on is that ladies who have big boobs shouldn’t be seen in tops that have frills on the chest area because you are already endowed there. Likewise, women whose hips are big, avoid dresses that would create elaborate attention on your hips because there is nothing to add there. Nature has given you enough.

Have you noticed that ladies have reduced the half-nakedness kind of dressing that was once the fad of the moment? Yes, I have also noticed that. A lot of ladies now dress properly, having what ought to be covered well covered. I think I give kudos to men for this because they are the ones that helped to fight for change. So many men started talking and condemning it. So, when ladies discovered that responsible men go for ladies who are properly dressed not revealing their body, they started changing. I’m happy about that. What thrills you more about fashion? It is the colours in the fashion world that thrill me. When I see ladies who are well dressed with their colours blended, I’m happy about that. So, I can say I love bold, vibrant colours. My best colours are orange and green. Orange inspires a lot; it is a colour that whets your appetite to dress even better. Then for green, it is the colour of nature, vegetation, jungle, of life. How do you think the world would look like without fashion? I don’t want to think about it because it is unthinkable. The world would be bleak, dull and lifeless without fashion.

‘Women should show love to one another’ ADAEZE AMOS

he is affable, cheerful and passionate about what she believes, which, obviously, is the word of God. Doris Ofokansi is a wife, pastor and motivational speaker. This Mass Communication graduate of Imo State University, Owerri is at home with every question concerning her lifestyle and God’s calling in her life. She is one of the female pastors who is working in the Lord’s vineyard not because her husband is a cleric. She started nursing the passion to spread the right from childhood. “I didn’t become a pastor just because my husband is one. This is very common among so many women of God. Mine is God’s calling, which began when I was a child. I started having this feeling of preaching the gospel and winning souls for God when I was still a minor. I started off as a Catholic evangelist. I discovered that while growing up, the passion was also increasing. So, when I got married, I decided to answer the call of God in my life fully,” Pastor Ofokansi recalled. It was her mother that kept her passion for God’s work burning. She actually helped her to accomplish her ambition. Hence she reaches out to mothers to do what her own mother did. “I had an interesting childhood really and what pleases me so much today is when I remember how my mother brought me up by instilling the fear of God in me. She was honestly there for me. Even when she discovered the calling of God in me, she never stopped taking me to church. That was when I started singing in the choir. Then I could remember as youngster, I used to sing in the church and the power of God would be moving and touching people. Members used to testify what happened to them. How they received their healing and all that. This is what I would advise every mother to do. Don’t allow the love of God in your children’s heart to die. Keep the flame alive just as my mother did for me,” she counselled. As a female cleric, she pointed out a particular topic most women need to hear and adhere to. “It is the topic about genuine love. I would wish many female pastors to take this topic seriously and preach it to the womenfolk because we need more of it. We need to show love to our fellow women so that we can be united. This is one thing that seems to pose a great challenge to us (women). I pray we swallow our pride when necessary and show love but when we don’t have it in us, how can we show it? You can’t give what you don’t have. This bothers me a lot honestly. As far as I’m concerned, love is the major key we can use to win souls. Hence, my prayer always for women is to have the spirit of love. With such a spirit, we would learn to tolerate one another, gossip or backbite less and we would all excel in what we are doing or in what we lay our hands on,” Pastor Ofokansi emphasised. For her, female preachers are lagging behind in the area of enlightening women

about marriage. “I mean educating other women on the importance of the success in marriage, what to do for it to succeed in spite of all odds. I think our female pastors including my humble self should educate women more on the goodness of marriage. Allow married ones who have been there for years to teach younger ones what is expected of them for their marriage to succeed. The young ones in marriage should be taught what to do and how to do it for their marriage to succeed because when the home front is succeeding, it reflects in the society and the peace and love of God would be waxing stronger,” she said. Pastor Ofokansi believes in speaking in tongues as the major way to confuse the devil. She said it is spiritual and because the devil doesn’t understand it, it’s always confused when such a language is spoken. Hence, she advised that every sprit-filled Christian should endeavour to speak in tongue. “I have spoken in tongue several times, the experience is awesome. It’s a language that is meant to communicate directly with God and the devil doesn’t understand it. It understands every other language, dialect but that of speaking in tongue gets it confused and throws it off balance. But remember, you can only speak it when the presence of the Lord is being felt. It is not what you go to school to learn or what your pastor can begin to teach you like a child is being taught how to recite some poems. No! It comes, descends on you, overwhelms you and you begin to speak,” she explained. But those female pastors who wear weird make-ups, long false nails and look totally psychedelic that you hardly differentiate them from the carnallyminded women, does such appearance not reduce the anointing of God? Pastor Ofokansi was careful with her response in order not to sound judgemental. “Moderation is the word. When a woman of God is dressing up, she should bear moderation in mind. I have not said that dressing well is a sin. You can see me, I’m well dressed, with my hair well done but it should not be in a manner to attract unnecessary attention,” she said

Dude Style

victorudoh804@yahoo.com 07067124302

‘I love to wear a variety of styles’ For Fabian Nwafor, a Lagos-based dude, his passion for music though started from childhood, it is a means to spread the message of hope to people. In this interview with Victor Udoh, he unveils plans for his new single and throws light on his style, among others: Excerpts...

What fashion item do you love wearing? There isn’t any in particular; because I love to experiment variety of trends and styles, adding a touch of class. What is your philosophy of life? Love yourself, love your fellow human being, do not procrastinate, be patient with man and God.

Can you tell us about your growing up and why you took to music? There was no big deal about my childhood. I did everything any normal person would do at their various growth stages. For me, music is a calling. It is a way to spread the gospel, for me to reach out to people and spread the message of hope.

Where do you see the entertainment industry in the next few years? I see it metamorphose into an industry that will create more jobs for Nigerians and attract even more foreign investments.

What excites you about music? Everything about music excites me; it is like a livewire to me. I can’t do without music. The fact that it comes to me naturally and helps me reach out to people of all walks of life thrills me. Even those who do not understand my language still appreciate the rhythm of my songs. It truly shows that music is universal and people from other countries appreciate the kind of music I compose; I thank God for that.

What is your advice to up-coming artistes? Be patient, know exactly what you want in life and give it your best shot. You also need to be prayerful. Though it may tarry but wait for it, it will surely materialise.

Who is your mentor? At this point in my career and ministry, I wouldn’t want to mention anybody because over the years, I have drawn inspiration from a lot of people. When I started my music career, I drew inspiration from people such as Don Moen, Ron Kenoly and Alvin Slaughter. Later, Donnie McClurkin came on the scene, as did Bishop Clarence McClendon and others. What current projects have you on hand? Currently, I am promoting a song entitled ‘My load’ which is among those to be released by Frii Flow Media, a label I signed on. We are also promoting ‘My load’ on radio and blogs; the video will soon follow. What thrills you about being a man? The fact is, I don’t have to bother about so many feminine things women worry about; though I must commend them. I have big respect for womanhood. However, it is easier to be a man than a woman. What life’s lessons do you cherish most? Life has taught me a lot of lessons; most importantly, how to be patient. I have since realised that when one does not exercise patience in life, things would go from bad to worse. With patience, problems may linger, but they would eventually fizzle out. What music genre do you sing? The works I have done so far can be classified as contemporary African music, with a little difference. But I would still say that I am versatile when it comes to music and not lacking in any area. What is the difference between secular and gospel music? I believe there is no difference because music is a universal language that appeals to everyone, no matter where you come from or your religion. I believe it depends on the angle you are looking at. I believe so much in gospel and feel it makes more sense and impact. However, any good music can sell anywhere in the world, whether in church or any event. Take Korede Bello, a secular artiste for instance. His songs are accepted in churches and elsewhere. Can you tell us the qualities of your ideal woman? She must be God-fearing and intelligent. These qualities are non-negotiable. Aside from music, what else do you do? I also do a radio jingles, television and motion graphics (animation). What is your brand of fashion? I love our sense of fashion in Nigeria, especially our innovativeness, by adapting foreign concepts into our fashion.

What kind of book do you read? I love inspirational and motivation books, because they lift my spirit and helps me better plan my next move in life. So, I will encourage people to read, particularly with understanding.

The African print bow tie on her neck and suspenders over her shoulders show she is an African. Take a closer look at her brim hat and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the piece of Africa round the edges. She does not need to introduce herself after seeing these traces of Africa on her. Take a cue from her style if you have this kind of event this week.

L How to enjoy sex OVE

TALK

with Yemisi

Adeniran

while pregnant I f there is anything that bothers couples, especially new ones, about pregnancy, is making love. To many, the fear that any sexual activity may cause a loss of the pregnancy can be scary. So, many would want to stay away. But then, staying away totally can be quite unimaginable. The question that has been bothering the mind is whether or not it is safe to have sex during pregnancy? Although there may not be a single way of answering this question, the fact remains that sex is safe during pregnancy. Did I hear you say: Praise God? Well, that is the truth. But there are certain things to note. It needs be noted that, for the woman, 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, 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. Your best sexual positions during preg-

Sunday, May 31, 2015

nancy 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, forget about your fears and enjoy yourself despite the pregnancy. 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 had a wonderfully weird experience using that rabbit vibrator. The first time I tried it, I was home alone one. I climaxed I think because I had goose pimples and I shivered for seconds. But I also urinated as I was climaxing which is a bit strange and embarrassing. I just wanted to find out why that happened. Apart from that bit, it was a wonderful experience that I cannot wait to have again – Joyce Dear Joyce, what you experienced is what is called a squirting orgasm or female ejaculation and what came out as you were climaxing is not urine. Yes it is a bit clear and watery like urine but it is not urine. Some women are squirters while others are not. You are a squirter so enjoy it. Many women go for years without ever having an orgasm that good but you are able to have it so you are lucky. Our mothers never enjoyed intercourse that much but women of your generation are able to do so because we now have vibrators and all kinds of gadgets and information that allow us get the best out of our love lives. So this is a good thing. Next time you squirt like that, just have a towel in place so that you can clean up afterwards. That’s all…and one more thing. Make sure you are not facing a television or any kind of electronic device so that you don’t short circuit its components with ejaculatory fluid – Uche I was looking for a sex position book the other day and was referred to your site. I ended up buying Nick Hawk’s Gigolo Sex Position Book. The images and positions are very exciting but I don’t know if they are doable. The sort of things I saw there are out of this world – George Dear George, yes these sex positions are modelled by professionals who are really flexible and athletic but you should give it a try. It is about having a new experience. Some of the positions may look intimidating but there are others that you and your partner can learn easily. The whole idea of the book is for couples to have fun and a bit of adventure when they get together, otherwise sex will be incredibly dull if we have to do the same missionary position every day. The 365 Sex Positions Book is another good option with hundreds of styles that you can easily attempt – Uche

Hey! I just stumbled on your website and I cannot believe the kind of things you have. My wife and I are so excited. Please can you recommend two good films that can teach us new things? Thank you. Well done sir – Timi You are welcome. Get the movies Exploring Guilty Pleasures and Adam and Eve’s Legendary Sex Positions. You will love them and they all have instructors and demonstrators too so everything is quick and easy to learn – Uche I got back on Sunday and found that your people had delivered the Magic Mike to my wife. I didn’t know what to expect because I am more used to X Again but I liked it. It gave me firm erections and I did not have headaches. So I just wanted to let you know I am a happy customer – Akin You are welcome Akin. Hope you had a good trip – Uche My wife bought a lubricant from your site because she was having painful intercourse. Your wife recommended the Climax Burst Lubricant for her. What she forgot to tell you is that she also needs something for arousal because getting in the mood is quite difficult for her – Memphis Okay. There are many different adult novelties that can arouse but if she is looking for an arousal lubricant or gel, then get her the Encounter Orgasm Gel or Horny Honey Arousal Gel. Both are very good for arousal. Good adult movies are very good at arousal too. If she is keen on those, then get her One Wild and Crazy Night or Are We in Love – Uche I watched a documentary about penis enlargement and enlargement exercises were recommended. Any idea how I can learn those? You can do them with a penis pump. Potent Enlargement Pump is very good. And then get the film A Matter of Size. It details enlargement exercise methods – Uche That is all for today. The names of the people fea-

tured here have been changed for their privacy. Adults in need of these treatments/novelties can call 07086754515 or 08051924159 or any other number here to order or they can order online at www.zeevirtualmedia.com.

Why you must eat cucumber when pregnant

‘I disobeyed my mum, ate in a neighbour’s house’

re you one of those pregnant mums who look the other way when they see others buying cucumber? If you are, then it is high time you stopped that. Reason is because this long fruit with dark skin and crisp white watery flesh that is usually eaten raw in salads and sandwiches or pickled is rich in folate. According to medical experts, folate reduces the risk of neural tube defects in unborn babies. And, there are still a lot more you and your baby stand to benefit from eating cucumber. Below are some of the benefits/nutritional values. Do you need vitamins you can naturally get not just from drugs you swallow daily? If so, then make cucumber a must eat. It is rich in vitamin C which is particularly important during pregnancy as it helps to reduce dehydration because it contains lots of natural water. If you doubt this, ask your nutritionist. Cucumber is rich in vitamin A and manganese as well. It is amazing how nature endowed this affordable vegetable with rich nutrients. To get vitamin A and manganese, eat it unpeeled, ie together with its cover.

Are you having pains in your bones, tissues, ligaments, tendons whenever your baby turns in your uterus with its legs stretched strongly to your tissues? What can help you reduce this kind of pains is cucumber. Medics have asserted that they are good for your bones, muscles, tissues, ligaments and tendons. There is one other awesome nutritional value of this specie of vegetable? If you have been having high blood pressure-induced pregnancy often or you are scared of having it, then eat enough cucumbers to douse your fears because they help to regulate your blood pressure owing to its potassium content. Besides, they are natural body cleansers and they dissolve nasty kidney stones. To easily eat them, you may wash, slice into a glass of clean chilled water. Drink your water and chew them. Some women eat with peanuts. They say peanuts bring out the good taste of cucumber. You can add enough into your vegetable salad and munch them happily. But remember you must wash them again and again because you should eat them raw.

he naughtiest thing I have ever done happened when I was in Senior Secondary Two. On that day, I came back from school drenched to the bone. The rain started when I was already half way home. I couldn’t board a bus because I was scared of falling. Also, the road was slippery because of the downpour. When I got home and banged on our gate for someone to open for me, I discovered that it was locked; there was no one at home. I felt like crying. I was hungry, drenched and cold. Yet it was still raining. What I did was to stand on the entrance of the gate holding the padlock. I wished that miracle could happen and it would gently open. It wasn’t long that a neighbour drove into his premises with his wife. They saw how I was shivering and took pity on me. They beckoned on me to come and join them in their car. I did because I had no option. They drove into their compound; I sat in the back seat. They asked me to wait for my mother in their apartment. I used to admire the couple before that incident and somehow trusted that they never meant any harm for me. When I was taken to their living room, I was asked to sit down. His wife gave me a towel to clean my body. Suddenly hunger struck. Momentarily, my mother’s warning voice flashed back in my memory. ‘Don’t ever collect food or drink from anyone, not even a neighbor, no matter how nice he/she is’. The man’s wife quickly gave me a cup of tea. While I was busy stirring it with a spoon, she asked if I wanted preferred bread to biscuit. I asked for both. She smiled and brought them without hesitating. I consumed them. As I was taking the last bite, my mother tapped on the door. Someone might have told her I was there. Immediately I saw her, I wiped my mouth and started explaining to her even when she didn’t ask me how cold I was and how I was begged to take tea and bread. She looked at me piercingly. I alone understood that look. While I was following her home, I had already started apologising pledging not to disobey her again. Soma, a rap artiste, is ‘Miss Fashionista, 2014’. –ADAEZE AMOS

Catfish Pepper Soup TITILOPE MORAKINYO Catfish Pepper Soup (popularly known as Point & Kill) is usually eaten at exclusive Nigerian bars and restaurants. It is fondly called point and kill because when a group of guests order Catfish Pepper Soup, at least one of the group will need to go to a big bowl or pond or tank where some live catfish are kept and point out one of his choice that will then be killed in the guest’s presence and taken away for preparation. Ingredients 500g Cat Fish 4 Ehu or Calabash Nutmeg seeds Habanero pepper or chilli pepper (to taste) A few scent leaves 2 medium onions Salt (to taste) 2 big seasoning cubes Preparation To prepare Cat Fish Pepper Soup, wash and cut the cat fish into 1-inch thick slices. Boil some hot water and pour on the pieces of fish, stir and remove immediately. This toughens the skin of the fish so that it does not fall apart during cooking. Roast ehu for the pepper soup Now it is time to prepare the ‘secret’ ingredient. Using an old frying pan, roast the Ehu seeds (stirring constantly) till you can smell it. Peel off the membrane from all the Ehu seeds and grind with a dry mill. Cut the onions into tiny pieces. Wash and pick the scent leaves and tear them up with your fingers into small pieces. Cooking directions Place the pieces of fish in a pot and pour water to just cover the fish, add the stock cubes and bring to the boil. Once it starts to boil add the ground ehu, onions and scent leaves and continue cooking. Once the catfish is done, add salt to taste and leave to simmer for about 5 minutes and its ready! Catfish Pepper Soup should always be served hot. It can be eaten alone with a chilled drink or with agidi, boiled white rice or boiled yam.

Kendall Jackson wine

ere are two things to know about Kendall Jackson’s Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay: More than two million cases are made each year, and every single grape that goes into those bottles comes from vineyards owned by Kendall Jackson. (This is why, when you take a tour of the Kendall Jackson vineyards, you do it by helicopter.) Vineyard ownership means control over viticulture practices, and that’s why this wine—despite its vast production—remains so delicious: rich but finely focused, its flavours suggesting ripe mangoes and pears.

Faze, Reminisce, others unveil Orijinal Africa’s largest drum

he National Arts Theatre, Iganmu lagos was at the weekend turned into festivities as Guinness Nigeria Plc unveiled the Orijinal Africa’s largest drum to the delight of enthusiastic guests. Consumers got a feel of Orijin hospitality as they were left asking for more of what will for a long time be remembered as one of the best shows ever. Guests got a taste of what to expect for the evening as the dance group set the tone with a fantastic display of some cultural dance routine. Keying in to the expectant crowd was DJ Caise, who dished out a perfect mix of old and new tunes that got the guests dancing. Orijin Brand Ambassador, Reminisce, led the list of artistes that turned out spectacular performances at the event. ‘Marry Me’ crooner, Kola Soul, ensured the crowd got into the right mood with his sublime delivery before folklore vocalist, Aduni, and the NERFETITI rendered some cultural tunes that got the guests reflective. Hip-hop ace, Faze, also brought back memories with some of his hit tracks while popular dance group ‘Dance Na the Main Thing’ thrilled the audience with breathtaking displays. Top comedian, Seyi Law, also ensured there were no dull moments with his rib-cracking jokes which simply got the guests rolling. Highlight of the evening was an unusual collabo between Reminisce and Aduni. The crowd was stunned as Aduni and the NERFETITI remixed one of Reminisce’s hit tracks into a cultural piece. But little did they know about the trick before Reminisce eventually stormed the stage to relieve their suspense. It was a unique performance which received a standing ovation and a thunderous applause from guests that were simply puzzled. Speaking at the unveiling, Ms. Eyitemi Taire, Portfolio Director, Larger and RTD, Guinness Nigeria Plc, said, “The Largest African drum is another landmark in our journey as a business and eulogising Orijin as the original drink for Africans. A drum announces the presence of the royals and the revered; it represents everything African. It is the single identifier that cuts across all African cultures. It represents the vibrancy, energy, uniqueness, and interconnectivity of Africans which perfectly reflects the

essentials of the brand’s originality.” The Ojora of Ijora, Oba Abdulfatai Ojora, represented by Chief Joseph Ogunmola, commended Guinness for producing an iconic drink like Orijin. Chief Ogunmola said, “The drum represents our vibrancy as Africans. It is an important part of our cultural heritage. This largest drum in Africa is a great innovation from Guinness Nigeria and we thank them for showcasing and taking our culture to the next level.” The Orijinal drum, a cultural icon, is an extension of the Orijin ideology of celebrating the contemporary African culture. The Orijin brand recently received the endorsement of royal fathers across Nigeria as the drink of heritage for Africans. The Orijinal drum located at the National Arts Theatre distinctly stands at a vantage point; a pride for all Nige-

rians. The drum’s dimension determined by a team comprising Alexander Forbes actuaries and Billings Cost & Associates measures 22ftx25ft. On Orijin as a drink of culture and heritage, Taire explained that “we recognise the value of our culture and will do everything possible to keep our heritage. Orijin connects with our people at this level just in the same way a drum connects. Wherever there is a drum there is celebration. And wherever there is celebration, you can be sure there is Orijin, the drink of tradition. “This drum we just unveiled is representative of both traditional and modern cultures that abide in Africa. We have high hopes that this drum will stand as an inspiration to Orijin lovers nationwide. We are proud of our achievement here today. The drum is clearly the largest and that underscores the ingenuity of Africans,” Taire emphasised.

I want to work with Maskela and Keita, says M.I

.I has expressed a desire to collaborate with a number of legendary African artiste, including Hugh Maskela, Youssou N’Dour, Salif Keita and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. He disclosed this while responding to questions at the 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards announcement event at Cova Lounge, Victoria Island, Lagos. The superstar rapper further revealed that such collaborations are part of his ambition to connect the young African audience to the older generation of the continent’s musicians. His wsaid: “I think we have done great in terms of creating a vibrant modern African music scene and the young audience really connects with that, but it would really be great to be able to connect the young audience with the older generation of African musicians. “Africa has such a rich musical history and it would be a shame to lose part of that history. My next ambition is to connect the younger audience with this older generation of African musicians.”

Dris, E2M, Skinnie Twid: Koga Entertainment changed our lives

he trio of Dris, EM2 and Skinnie Twid are young and gifted artistes from the stable of Koga Entertainment who have since been unveiled to the Nigerian music community and beyond. The artistes barred their minds on their musical dreams, how much Koga has changed their lives and other critical issues within and beyond the music industry. Dris: As the son of a soldier who was in active service, it would be easy to believe Dris was grilled and groomed under the ever-fierce gaze of his Twid militarised father but the reverse proved to be the case. “My father made us feel like stars. It was strange because he was a soldier but he never touched us and ensured we were protected from overbearing and violent people and things.” In his assessment of the Nigerian music industry, Dris said, “Piracy remains a very big problem but we believe it can get better. Endorsements have also come to expand the business side of music and that is beautiful. On his romance with Koga Entertainment, the rapper traced his first steps back to the audition known as ‘Koga Open House’ where he was one of the three winners. “To me, Koga Entertainment is the right platform for me to show the world what I’ve got. The moment I arrived at the venue of the audition, I knew I was at the right place to fulfil my dreams. Koga has put me on top sites and I have recorded songs with A-list artistes. I have recorded songs with Puffy T, DJ Klem and plans are on course to work with Don Jazzy.” E2M: Quite the mellow one but don’t get it twisted; E2M holds a tune to engrave his musical imprint upon millions of hearts. Recalling his days hustling, E2M said, “I was that guy on the street hustling... I used to work in a bar; a club kind of bar. I worked there as a bar man. I was paid N18,000 and that was three years ago,” he added. The singer also beat the drums of controversy when he noted that some Nigerian artistes have failed to evolve and have ended up being relegated to the background. “Things have really changed and a lot of those artistes whose rankings have dropped just couldn’t cope. “Things have changed. This is the jet age. People like Daddy Showkey could not evolve. You just have to upgrade. You know there is always a difference between a J.S.S 3 student and an S.S.S 3 student.” His entry into Koga Entertainment was ordained in a way as he did not participate in the reality show. Skinnie Twid: A fusion of a weird personality and creative complexities are some of the words that describe budding rapper, Skinnie Twid (born Oluwatobiloba Onabanjo). Gifted enough to overcome healthy rivalry from hundreds of contestants at the ‘Koga Open House’ contest, Skinnie Twid believes his emergence is not accidental. He’s widely whispered to be gay but he denounces the misconception adding that he doesn’t swing that way. “I’m a guy and you can see the guy in me... My role models are Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, Tyga and Young Buck,” he explained. At the moment, he is signed as an artiste under Koga Entertainment but things were not always that way.

Wisdom, key to success General Overseer of Omnipotence Mission of God, Prophet Joshua Daramola Oloruntimilehin, in this admonition, explains how to overcome troubles. Excerpts:

isdom is the most desirable thing for a person who wants to succeed and make it in life. If a person is not wise, all the things in this world would run away from him or her. A person must be wise, and out of the wisdom he or she would ation or riches. learn a work, or get education al ways. A wise Wisdom is applied in several rimonial home. woman stays long in her matrimonial It is the unwise woman that is sent packing from her home. Similarly an unwise man fe with his wife does not experience long life on would know and children. A wise person arent, children, how to handle his or her parent, re would not be wife and husband so that there mong the famirancor, misunderstanding among e about his wife. ly. A pastor complained to me His complaint was that his wife was giving unsel him based him problem. I decided to counsel o my change in on my experiences. Prior to ut my relationperception and motion about ship with a woman was not all that cordial. I advised him to desist from

finding faults and rebuking uking his wife for every mistake she makes. es. This would bring about fear, more respect spect and mutual understanding between n two of them. In fact , my experience enabled me to counsel him what a wife iss and how the husband should be relating g with her that would bring peace into the home. Seek for wisdom for everything one e does because the bible says in the book k of James 1:5 – 6 “ If any of you lack wisdom, isdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all ll liberally and without reproach and it will be given to you. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubtss is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed d by the wind”. A would – be trader or business usiness person need to think about the kind nd of trade or business he or she wants to embark on. What are the risks involved ed in the trade or business that could collapse lapse the busi-

ness? What are the necessary things to do in depression situation? All these require application of wisdom by the person to handle the situation that might confront the trade or business. But what is in the mind of the prospective trader or business person is to get p g money y and invest without consideration for all mentioned above. He or she would never if think this business or trade would bring fortune to him or her and in turn change his or her life. Even if a wise trader or business person that keeps his or her proceeds in manner that give room for people to steal the proceeds that person is not wise. It is imperative for people to apply wisdom in any situation they find themselves. Jesus Christ applied wisdom when the Pharisees asked him if it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar. He asked them to give him a coin (Demarius). They brought it to him and asked whose image is on the coin. They told him Caesar. Then Jesus said in the book of Mark 12:17 “…And Jesus answered and said to them render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s and they marveled at him”. Some people see and get money but they spend it lavishly without having reserve. A person that spends money lavishly is spending his or her life wastefully. Those that spend lavishly are those that have

plenty money and reserve. Some people whenever they get money, they spend the money for women who are not their wife. These people should know that these women are obstacles to the men’s success. These women would desert the men after finishi n g the money lavishly, the men later became p o o r. There are

some men I warned to stop having affair with women other than their wives but they failed to heed my warning. Now they are facing the consequence. Imagine a man had about three million naira to embark on a business venture. He started to p put the required things for the q g in place p take – off. But the purported wife advised birthand influenced him to sponsor her birth day and he obliged her. Now the money is finished, the labusiness could not take – off. He is la menting and trying to borrow money from his friends. Be a wise person because the bible says in the book of Proverbs 29:11 “ A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man must hold back”. Brethren, do not be a fool who had money but due to lack of wisdom, he or she mismanage the money and become poor. It does not mean that some people would not be poor but when God in His wisdom, infinite mercy grant you divine wisdom imknowledge and understanding. Also I im plore you to pray for wisdom and I know God would grant your request because the bible says in the book of Mark 11:24 “ Therefore I say to you, whatever thing you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them” •For more call: enquiries call 08023020108, 08058110288; facebook.com/pastoroloruntimilehin

Prophet Oloruntimilehin

‘A sign from Heaven’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24

unto Him and trying to win souls unto Him but the antichrist, the forerunners are doing a lot of things to provoke God, to weaken believers so that they will be weak and the Lord will come to take away the remnant that will be saved. Beloved, God has revealed Antichrist to the world, let none willfully shut his eyes against this revelation, but let him open his eyes wide and see signs of the end and take advantage to amend his ways. Rev 13:11-18 says, “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give

life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 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: 17 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. 18 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 threescore and six” The point is that after the rapture, this wicked man, the beast that will appear will have powers to give images that can speak and then, when it speaks those people that will refuse to believe or worship him, will be killed, including those people that will refuse to take the mark of the beast will not buy or sell and will be tormented on earth for a good number of years. Such time, even believer who are careless, those that are not truly born again but refuse to receive the mark, will find it difficult to move around and cannot buy or sell. So, if anybody did not accept Christ now when there is grace, it is not when the grace is taken

away, when Christ is gone and the grace is gone, when the blood of Jesus will be meaningless that they can be able to be saved. One thing that is very factual is that, if you are not saved now by the grace of God, by the blood of Jesus then you cannot be saved then, so the best thing for you is to take advantage of the grace, escape and be saved and be sure of rapture. This is because when this evil personality will come, when the rapture must have taken place, it will be difficult for you as a child of God to live in the world, move around, buy or sell, in fact it will be a troublous time for you when the beast comes in with a counterfeit peace after three and a half years. After which he will begin to deal with people who did not make rapture. So if you are reading this sermon today, you have the opportunity to escape and amend your ways before the trumpet sounds. You must not be carried away with all the temporal peace that people of the world are carried about with or the things of the world. You should not be carried away by whatever is the enjoyment, whatever peace, whatever the people of the world are looking for. Rather what all of you should be looking for is the sign from heaven. Looking up when the Lord shall come. Whatever

you are doing now, please look out for a sign because one day, that sign shall appear. We should not be looking at what is happening in the world, we should look up and begin to prepare because when the trumpet shall sound the Lord will take His people home. My prayer is that nobody reading this sermon will miss rapture in Jesus name. 1 Thess 4:16-18 says, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words” I want to let you know that very shortly the trumpet shall sound, and the Lord shall appear from heaven to take the saints away. The wicked will remain behind, while the righteous, being absolved, shall be assessors with their Lord in the judgment. I pray that every one of us will be among those that shall meet Him on the air in Jesus name.

n the first of February 2015 the topic of my write up was “The search for a new leader”. Then Nigeria was preparing for elections and searching for a leader. Then on the 8th of the same month, I made this my topic “We are almost there’’, but today there is no doubt that we are there already. Nigerians chose their leaders and just two days ago, the new President was officially handed over the staff of office to operate for the next four years. I personally congratulate Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd.) and his men and women in government and I wish them all the best. I may not be a political expert to advice but I want them all to know that without God nothing can be right. Moreover, God places them there and he has right to remove them, so, I want them to be conscious of two things – one is to work according to the will of God, let there be fear of God and the other is that they should have people –orientated programmes for they are chosen to serve people. The former government was deceived and we all suffered for this. Many fake prophets and prayer contractors were involved in forming the mind of our President and many sycophants had a full and free day. The fact is that Nigerians should not forget the political party that governed Nigeria for sixteen years and almost brought everything to an end. Nothing actually worked – we experienced insecurity, epileptic electricity, joblessness, corruption, poor road, low education standard and inefficient health system. Nigerians cried for a “change”,

Desti Destiny Hour with Pastor Femi

elcome to the last day in the 5th month of 2015; we have spoken at length on Kingdom stewardship and harvest and I believe that God is helping you to make the choice of standing for Him. Today we need to take a look at a final straw that ensures bountiful harvest for Kingdom stewardship.

The harvest for the work done is lost or not fully recovered because the sickle for complete harvest is missing in the life of God’s children. We are working for the kingdom of God quite alright; you are a sanctuary keeper, you manage crowd, you intercede and minister to the unsaved and in fact you are an usher among many other responsibilities. The harvest is incomplete or delayed because of the joy factor in receiving your reward. The most important ingredient needed to ensure your speedy and bountiful harvest is joy. Let’s briefly look at three components of joy as a sickle for kingdom harvest: 1. The joy of the Lord brings strength for the harvest; Nehemiah 8: 10 then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto

We are there now went to the polls to make a change. What we need to know is that even though we have confidence in the new President Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) and his government but we must give them a chance and time to mop of the mess created by the past government and we must also remember that they need our support and love. God is so kind that he listened to the prayer of Nigerians for a change in government. Now that God has played his part and we have a new government, it is essential to understand how to live a new life. The new life I am talking about is a new life found in our everyday walk with God. We experienced frustration, lack and uncertainty. The chance we have now is facing reality of life. We know what it means to choose people to represent us and this time around we are not going to stay away and watch them empty the treasury making themselves and their families rich and comfortable at the expense of the masses. Nigerians and especially Christians will understand that God is giving us a new life and spirit. The Bible said, “A new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stoning heart out of your flesh and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and you shall keep my judgments and do them” Ezek. 36:26-27. Before now many of us believed in the things of the natural world. Many of us encouraged the politicians to steal and in particular Christian leaders never condemned the attitude of these politicians rather they dined and wined with them. All of us were dead to God and alive to sin. The new understanding we have now in Christianity is called “new life”. It is a resurrected life. Your spirit man has been resur-

rected and the life is now lightened. What I am trying to express here is that we seem to know the truth and will not allow Satan to deceive us anymore. We want to live a new life where we shall only recognize what is right and reject what is wrong. Our resurrection life will affect our daily walk with the Lord and will also affect our circumstances. If we want Nigeria to be a better place for all, we must then change our affection. We must do away with our attention on natural things to allow the power of God in us to manifest mightily. God needs your full attention for his power to manifest in your life. You must learn to hear his voice. If you hear his voice and obey his promptings, you will be sustained daily by the resurrection life that is in you through the power of Holy Spirit. He is in you to help you, to strengthen you, teach you and lead you into all the truth. The Bible said, “Be not deceived, God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the fresh reap corruption but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” Gal. 6:7-8. If we as Nigerians want a change in the country, then we must sow to the Spirit. Sin, disobedience and living a selfish, carnal life will keep the Spirit life from operating. We cannot continue to give our attention to the things of this world and expect to get dominion over sin. If we love Nigeria, then we must set our minds on the things of heaven to allow a growing process to take place. The Bible said, ‘’…. Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” Gal 5:16. Let us live a life of righteousness. Sin separated Nigeria and Nigerians from the power of God and Satan took over that Nigeria almost became uncontrollable. Life was not safe. People were kidnapped and the kidnappers were not arrested, politicians

were bigger than the laws they made. Then people including political, traditional and religious leaders started demanding for prayer. Everybody realized that all human efforts had failed, so, Nigerians went on their knees and the result was the fall of the government and the election of the new government for a change. But there will never be peace until we appreciate God as the owner and leader of Nigeria and then we allow him to rule through his power in all his believers. Our strength should be in the knowledge of the Word and prayer. As spiritual mind is always ready to hear reproofs and corrections from the Spirit of God but a carnal mind hardens its mind and it is selfish and insensitive. I have read with dismay in some national papers how people who were close to the former President now condemn him and turn round to praise the present President. People are not reliable therefore, our President must not encourage gossip and gossipers. If Nigerians are sincere about keeping Nigeria one, then what we need to do irrespective of our religion, ethnicity and political persuasion is to be on our knees praying for our leaders for knowledge and wisdom of God . Our support for the government should not be based on what we can get as an individual or group of people but for the benefit of the nation. My sincere advice to the government is that they should not soil their hands with things that will not benefit people but must concentrate on delivering their campaign promises and work with God for the good of the nation. •Prof. Kunle Macaulay is the Director of Studies of United Bible University, Lagos.

Joy as the sickle of kingdom harvest our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. When you lack joy, you are unable to bring in the harvest; you have laboured, cried and sweated to sow the seedlings and water them but the final stage can only be drawn to you in your expression of Joy. And a woman of God will always say that if you are joyful it will show; you will express it on your face, your heart and mouth will pick up songs of gratitude to the Lord. The strength needed to draw from God can only be supplied when you are joyful so stop complaining. Many people go before God and instead of thanking Him and placing their requests, they decide to complain about the things they have not seen yet and this attitude gives the enemy a legal access to your harvest. If the sickle for harvest is missing, it will only mean that the fruits will remain on the tree for so long and after a while it begins to decay. God is not to blame when you don’t see what He has promised because once God says a thing, it is established, however, you are lacking the necessary strength to pull the harvest to you. So begin to express joy today. 2. Joy is required to draw the benefits of salvation; draw to quench the thirst of your soul Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

Isaiah 12:2-3 Psalm 23: 2 says, ‘He leadeth me beside the still waters and restoreth my soul’; another aspect of harvest is the quenching of the thirsting and the longing of your soul. God is in the business of satisfying you by ensuring that you are beside the waters but without Joy, this harvest is not accessible; joy is an embodiment of the rope and container you will need to draw waters from the well that will ensure you are satisfied. Sir, the Holy Spirit in you is enough to make available to you the harvest God has promised you. But you cannot get anything from Him without joy. Stop being grumpy, stop complaining and start praising God. 3. The fruits and the harvest are affected once joy is not present; The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men. Joel 1:12 Apart from the lack of strength to draw on the harvest God has promised you, it is essential to note that once joy is missing, even the fruits will no longer remain healthy, they begin to decay. The harvest is corrupted, spoilt and destroyed when the harvester is lacking joy. Have you destroyed the fullness of your harvest by thinking God is not responding to you? Have you reduced the fullness of your harvest by allowing cankerworms and caterpillars to have access due to lack of joy. When you are joyful, there

is preservation; when you lack joy you allow the enemy to corrupt your fruits. Why are we talking extensively on this today, God is too faithful to fail but often times God’s people are too short-sighted to see that the things they have worked for, prayed for and expected of God is just around the corner. God is not in the business of delaying the reward of one who labours in His vine yard and sir, you have served in the vine yard, it is time for you to reap the reward but that harvest God is bringing your way can be delayed, reduced or destroyed by a lack of joy. What is the harvest promised you; Therefore, I admonish you today, to declare a week of harvest as we enter into the month of June just thanking God and being joyful of the harvest you are about to see. If you want to see it then begin to joyfully say it and your harvest shall come speedily and in full in Jesus name. Declare harvest in your home and every time you have, look up to God with a sincere heart and let the joy in your heart be expressed on your face and with your voice. God will bring to pass all He has said concerning you in Jesus name. Happy New Month to you. •For further prayer & counseling, Please contact: Pastor Femi Lanre-Oke, Jesus Praise Evangelical Ministries International, Plot A22 Power Crescent, Arab road, Kubwa.

hat is the dry bone you brought today? No matter how, you can live again by the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Dry bone shall live again. The Lord is a wonderful friend, as Abraham said. Lord, have your way and do what cannot be done. Do what the doctor says “it is over.” Visit people and have your way in every area of their lives. That battle in your life that is making you to do what you are not supposed to do, today that foundation is broken.

The word irreversible means something that cannot be changed. The word irreversible is not in heaven. It is on earth, the language of man. This is a challenge to God. It offends God. It is pointing finger, telling God what can He do? It makes Angels go on alert. When you are using the word, irreversible, where the owner of the world exists when He says, I am the Alpha and Omega which means the beginning and the end, it offends God. That event(s) that tend to bring shame or disgrace to God when you have prayed and fasted for 21 days and 14 days again, keep fasting and read Our Daily Manna. The word irreversible is in the dictionary or bible of men. Some things in life cannot be reversible e.g. death except a miracle happens. That word is an insult in God’s dictionary. There are some people with hopeless situation e.g. business, ministry, finance, marriage, career and when you look at it, it seems there is no way. I cry about it for I’m not God. No matter the circumstance, God will astonish/ surprise you. Any mistake you have made in life, that mistake that have been tormenting you shall be reversed. Luke Chapter 22 verse 40—51 says…And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto

n the last two weeks, I have considered the characteristics of three major prophets who were known as “thus says the Lord” Prophets in the Bible. The responsibilities of such prophets to God and to people were highlighted. The intention was to find out the roles of prophets of the bible and compare it with what we notice and witness in the prophets of today.

Also the need to edify people and point out what should be the roles of prophets both to the Church and to the society is basicallyto guide the gullible minded,who have become preys to these “so called prophets”. Prophets are generally known as inspired people, who bring the word of God or the blue print of God for a particular time or ages. A “prophet” is he who speaks by God, of God, and to God, and declares to people not merely things of future, but also things past and present, that are not obvious to the sense or the reason.It also means in the original thought, he who prays, entreats and makes supplications on someone else’s behalf (11 Kings 2:19-22), but majorly it refers to one who is commissioned by God to speak His mind by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (Deut. 18:18; Jer. 1:5; Acts 15:32). A prophet is an “appointed” messenger of God for divine assignments. Such assignments must be consistent to the overall principle of salvation where people are saved, delivered from the oppression of sin.Significantly, the thrust of prophesy is basically bestowed upon men

Reversing the irreversible MANNA DIGEST with Bishop (Dr) Chris Kwakpovwe, publisher Our Daily Manna him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, And said unto them, Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. And while he yet spake, ke, behold a multitude, and he that was called d Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, m, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the he Son of man with a kiss? When they which h were about him saw what would follow, they y said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the he sword? And one of them smote the servantt of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus hus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him…This im…This was about the biggest mistake that would have put Peter in jail for life. The courtt case was irreversible. The evidence wass the ear that was cut off. What Peter er did was an error, a mistake that at would have sent him to jaill and which could have caused used more trouble that would uld have limited/restricted d God’s plan for him. He would have been sentenced nced to death. Jesus sus Christ picked up the ear, put the ear ar back and within a second, everything went back as if nothing happened. That means thatt

God can reverse a mistake you have made. God can destroy the evidence against you. The evidence against Peter was the piece of ear on the floor that would have sent him to jail. Jesus picked the ear back and the evidence was cancelled. Somebody’s evidence of disgrace and self-reproach shall be cancelled today in Jesus Name. This is reversing what is irreversible. Jesus picked the evidence and cancelled it to disgrace the name of the enemy. Some of you found there is no j o y / p e a c e / m a rriage, answer not heard, the reason is that the

enemies use evidence against you. I am saying now that God will reverse the irreversible by removing the evidence. Stubborn demons work on evidence. As you pray, the evidence will catch fire now in Jesus Name. Prayer: My Father, reverse the irreversible concerning the battle of my life/situation by your anointing. My Father, reverse the evidence speaking against my testimony in the world of the spirit. My Father, I stand with authority now, reverse the evidence speaking against my life/business/career/ministry/children/husband/wife. O Lord, My God, destroy by fire the evidence that my enemies would use to hinder my progress in life. That evil evidence Satan is using to block my fruit of the womb, O Lord My God, destroy and scatter, by fire by force!! •For more information, contact: Our Daily Manna/Manna prayer mountain ministry Interdenominational. •8 –10 Omotayo Banwo street, before Moble police Barracks, Orioke Ogudu, Lagos.

Church as God designed it - Joggling in the prophetic streams (3) and women who understands the immediacy of God project and prepared to run with it with sense of commitment not minding the cost. This was the life of old prophets like Moses, Abraham, Samuel and other prophets of both the Old and the New Testaments. However, there are obvious drift from the operation of the Prophets of old by the modern day prophets. While the prophets of the Bible represents God, speaks instead of God and delivered the message of God which is consistency with the principle at which they are ordained, this cannot be said of the modern day prophets. In the book of Deuteronomy 18:18; the thrust of the prophets is to speak the word which God put to their mouths and declare it to people – He was the go between man and God to disseminate the requirements of God to people, not necessarily to speak on behalf of people to God, as God desires all to come to him. Prophets are the priests of God, the ordained guardians of men into righteousness and godliness. They are to conduct the affairs of their calling only through the instructions and teachings of people and sustain the constant fellowship of people with God. Prophets are the bridge between God and man and the compass to the path of truth. They access the truth and elaborate on its significant and encourage the people to follow the path of truth. The ordinance of prophetic roles was not sufficedand established on prayer arrangements and prayer ministry but it is premised upon the need for the salvation of souls. Yes Prophet could pray for people, Prophet could bring personal direc-

tion to individual but this is not the primary assignment of any prophet. The intent of a prophet is aimed at the completeness of the work of salvation which is designed for the deliverance of souls from darkness. Darkness is the pest of the world today. Sicknesses, death, poverty and other disease which brought people to prayer meetings, mountain of prayers, camps and others is orchestrated by the hovering darkness in the world. This is the reason why people seek for help from prophets. However, this is not a proper approach to solve the challenge of darkness. To obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams (1 Sam. 15:22). It therefore, follows that sacrifices of fasting, praying in the mountains and running to various prayer centers without obedience to truth are worthless before God. No wonders, most of these prophets have become white witches and mere occults in their operations. Since most of them could not hear from God again, they seek for other means of exhibiting vain power in other to gather crowds and to keep the gullible ones. Hear what the Psalms says in 50:17; “You that hates instructions and cast off my word behind thee”. Those prophets have not considered the importance of teaching the word of God but major only on the prayers of miracles. You cannot cast the word of God behind and expect the God of the word to move in your midst. Divine discourse is more important than seeking for divine manifestations. In an open manifest of sins and vices, we see most of the “so called Prophets” fellowships and pitching tent with evil doers.

The common ministry office in the Church today, is the office of Prophet. Prophets are supposed to be the fathers and pillars that correct and instruct others on accurate path. They are few servants of God who are known as overseers, with oversight responsibility upon the church, nation and often the entire earth. They are the eyes of God to people and the mouth of God to man. Prophets are habitually controversial people who are tagged as the enemies of government because of their critical few on worldliness. They oppose lies and pull down strongholds and build patterns for people. Prophets are not seekers of the world, or friendly with it. Prophets are not those who demand for “offering”. This is the mentality of Balaam and the error of Core. The frequently quoted scripture to defraud people is found in Matthew 10:42; “He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s rewards……..”. A Prophet reward is not miracle! The prophet is God emissary who represents God in the affairs of the gospel of the kingdom. The apostles were sent out in this occasion as emissary of Christ and the thrust was to preach the message of the kingdom. The rewards for those who received the apostles is to be adopted into the kingdom of God. It is not in cash or in material things. In other words, prophets are prophets when they speak the message of the kingdom of God. •Pastor Bola Bello – The Priesthood House, bolabelo@gmail.com 08033704564

God of silence and darkness

oud noise is usually connected with work in our noisy world of today. Great machines are racketing. Earthmovers, concrete mixers, power shovels, and ditch diggers are rattling. Rocks are being blasted with deafening rumble. Our “generator” economy comes at a noisy price in most homes, offices, hotels, and factories. Noisy automobiles ply our busy streets and highways. This had made many to conclude that work, power, and noise must always go together. But the world’s greatest worker does most of the world’s work in complete silence or with very little noise.

We are so busy listening to manmade noises that we easily forget that all around us God is causing great changes with absolutely little or no sound whatsoever! The grass and crops that covers millions of square miles grow without a sound. The human brain sends signals to our muscles, telling them what to do or not to do often without the faintest whisper or noise. God works through our brains noiselessly! Man’s noise is often alien to God’s voice. Most of the time, God speaks and powerfully works quietly. God is a God of silence. In the building of the Temple in ancient Israel, everything was done in silence! “In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built” (1 Kings 6:7).

The Bride’s voice with Pastor Moses

Alu

et us read 1 King 21. And it came to pass after these things, that Nabath the Jezreelites had a vineyard, which was in jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. Naboth, the Jezerite had a vineyard. Verse 2 and Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it is better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

3. And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. 4. And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Baboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 5. But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, why is they spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? Okay, just because of time, let me explain what that chapter 21 is saying. Read it on your own. Not it. Naboth was a poor Jew that had a piece of land his father left for him next to the king’s land or mansion. May be the king wanted to expand his mansion and then called Naboth to collect his own; to buy it but remember, that a proper son will not sell an inheritance like that. And so Naboth told him. No, this is the land my father gave me. I cannot sell it.

Today, believers have become the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:18). Prophet Habakkuk puts it in perspective: “The Lord is in His holy Temple, let all the earth be silent before Him” (Hab 2:20; see Isa 41:1). This does not mean that we must never speak during worship. However, we must fully realize the awful presence of God. When we do “take upon ourselves to speak unto our Lord,” we should remember: “we are but dust and ashes” (Gen. 18:27). We speak to God and for God with our finger on our lips, our lips in the dust. It was by the same reasoning that Jesus protested against the noisy market place the Jews had turned the Temple into. He drove them out in anger: “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations (Mark 11:15-17). It is significant that there was “silence in heaven” (Rev 8:1). God seems silent at the multiplication of atrocities among humans (Ps 50:17-21). People blaspheme Him, defy Him, and challenge Him and He keeps silence. At the appropriate time, God shall speak and not keep silent (Psa 50:3-4). If silence be golden, the Eternal has observed this golden rule. He works in the silence. But for the discordant din of men, and but for the voices of beasts and birds, this earth would be a temple of silence. And it is in the silence that God reveals Himself. Not in the great and strong wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire, but in the still small voice (1 Kings 19:12, 13). “Let us be silent,” says one, “that we may hear the whispers of the gods!” In the silence, too, His Church has grown; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matt 16:18). The kingdom of God “comes not with observation” (Luke 17:20). And in the silence our Holy Lord will come again- as a thief in the night. While we await the second coming, God

is silently building us into a temple of “living stones,” is now being built. Therefore let no axes of schism or the hammers of furious contention be heard within God’s household of faith. Away with all our unseemly cries and wranglings, clashes of controversy, and the shouts of heated partisanship. Otherwise we are disqualified as an inglorious Church with spot and wrinkle (Eph 5:27). Sometimes God seems silent for an extended period of time. Silence does not mean God has forsaken you. It simply means that God has spoken, and now is the time to allow the word that He spoke to germinate and come to pass. While you are going through “silent years,” you should focus on inner peace. Silent years should indicate a time of reflection, introspection and listening. The quieter we become, the more we hear. We cannot rush the silent years. Silent years are times of transition. Transition is always uncomfortable and appears to last forever. We must ENDURE the silent years! Whenever you see the word endure, it means that there is no short cut through it. It must be endured. You cannot circumvent what must be endured. The key to being able to ENDURE is to see the END in “ENDure.” In order to grow more like Christ, we must also practice silence. The wise man opined: “Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few . . . many words mark the speech of a fool . . . Much dreaming and many words are meaningless”

(Eccl 5:1-3, 7). Therefore, “study to be quiet” (1 Thess 4:11). Solomon knew better when he concluded: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: A time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak” (Eccl 3:1, 7). This calls for much self-control as advocated by Leo Tolstoy: “There has never been, and cannot be, a good life, without self-control.” Virginia Woolfe concurs: “To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.” The great philosopher Epictetus insists: “no man is free who is not a master of himself.” A member of a certain Church, who previously had been attending services regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the Pastor decided to visit him. It was a chilly evening. The Pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his Pastor’s visit, the man welcomed him & led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and waited. The Pastor made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the he took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone. Then he sat back in his chair, still silent. The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. •Tunde Ojewole, PhD, is the Babcock University Pastor in charge: Division of Spiritual Life.

The Spirit of Delusion (5) May be what Ahab wanted to use the land for a very important thing that Naboth’s refusal was so disturbing to him, he got very worried that when he got home after discussing with Naboth, he told his wife Jezebel and we all know who Jezebel was. You know who Ahab was Ahab, if you read Chapter 21; the testimony of Ahab was that among all the Kings of Israel there was none that sold himself to doing evil like Ahab. He was so full of evil. Part of the evil was to marry the Philistine woman, Jezebel. And because he married Jezebel, he polluted the whole land. It was Jezebel that imported into Israel the art of painting (make up by women). When you see a Jew dressed and do her hair one kind, do her hair, put colour all over the hair, put Indian one, Chinese one, dress it somehow, pass it through the devil’s helmet in the saloon and then pour oil, for it very well, paint her face, her nails, her legs, then carry neck chain on her neck, ear and is moving where did she learn it from? From the first lady; the pacesetter, Jezebel! That was not the way Sarah dressed. And whose daughter are you? ! Peter Chapter 3 says you are whose daughter? Sarah’s daughters. Of all the characters in the Bible, it is Jezebel they want to imitate. You are going to church but the character you want to follow is the character that Ahab followed. See how Ahab ended! Jezebel advised him and said. You are the king; see common Naboth is making you worried. Don’t worry, I know what to do. She called the sons of Belial. The way some landlords do in Lagos. May be Tony, your landlord gave you quit notice and he wants you to leave the house. He will go to court but will not let you

know. On the day the case will come up in court, he would have hired some people and instructed them to claim that one of them is Tony. When they call case number so and so, Tony v. Landlord, not you, somebody else will ask him. Are you Tony/ he will answer in the affirmative. When will you pack out? He will answer, tomorrow. If you don’t pack out tomorrow, what will happen? Let my things be thrown out. The judge will say, Okay, you are given up to next tomorrow to pack out. He will sign. Yu will be sitting in your house and thugs will invade your house. What happened? You will ask. When you go to court, you will be told that judgment has been passed and they will show you your statements. The same way sons of Belial were gathered to accuse Naboth; that he was blaspheming the king. And if you blaspheme, it is death sentence. So they set up a court and meanwhile. Ahab didn’t know. But they killed Naboth under a false accusation with false witnesses that said they were there. They killed him and as soon as he died. Jezebel came up and said to Ahab, Stand up now that useless man. Naboth is dead. Go and do what you want with the land. Ahab was happy and stood up to go and inspect the land. On his way there, God to Prophet Elijah the Tishbite, Go! And he took off and met Ahab on the way. Now Chapter 22. A death sentence has been passed over Ahab and Jezebel by God. And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. They continued for how many years after that? Three years passed and it looked as if nothing will hap-

pen as pronounced by god Boldness came upon Ahab again Ahab that had a death sentence under thus said the Lord by a vindicated Prophet: a vindicated prophet passed a death sentence. In this age, we have a vindicated prophet, the man William Marrion Braham. He has given us thus saith the Lord. He said, thus said the Lords, Ichabod is written against the Pentecostals. That is the glory of God has departed. Then what is happening in their mindset? That is the mystery we are looking at now. Verse 3… and the king of Israel said unto his servants, known ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria? And he said unto Jehoshapt, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as they people, m horses as thy horses. Know you not that the piece of land Ramoth Gilead belong to Israel? You want to go to battle? We are sitting down here. Our land is there and the King of Syria is there taking care and we are sitting here instead of going to collect it. Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. Remember, by this time Israel has been divided into two; Judah and Israel. •Pastor Moses Alu; The Bride Assembly, Odofin Park Estate, Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, Ijesha Bus stop 08033524903 : Email: pastormosesalu@yahoo.com

It does not matter (2)

would like to continue from where I stopped last week. I established last week that what matter most is your trust in the ever powerful word of God. This week I will be talking on formula for handling issues of life. I want you to know that before any problem comes up; its solution must have been provided by the Lord. There is a solution to every problem in life. Let the solution of the problem confronting you be the thing that should matter to you than the problem itself. When you magnify the word of God in your heart, then no trouble will be able to trouble you. Problem only troubles you when you do not know what God says about it. God’s voice in any problem that confronts you is the voice of His word. Let’s God’s word matters most to you. God’s word is the solution to anything you face. Think more on the answer that comes through the word of God than listening to what the situation says to you. Always be assured that you are not alone in any battle. Make up your mind to stay victorious over what you are facing by telling yourself that it does not matter. God is always with you. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things). Mathew 6:32 God knows that you need those things. God is not ignorant of your needs. Thank God that He has made provision for you already. When you look unto God, He will not put you to shame. A man that looks unto God will never be put to shame. A man that looks unto God knows what to do in any situation that comes his way. A man that looks unto God will always know the formula of life. Depending on God’s word makes you a carrier of the Almighty-formula in handling the situations of life. The word of God is the actual Almighty-Formula and not the one you know in mathematics. The one we have in mathematics could only solve quadratic equations and it is only limited to the

Bishop Opayinka

world of science but the word of God can solve all the equations of life and the solutions that comes from God’s word cuts across all facets of life. The word of God has the answer to every problems of life. God’s word is the Almighty formula that you need to solve the equation of life. But confusion comes when you look unto men. Your problem will grow worse when you depend on your strength or the strength of other men. Looking unto men in search of solution is tantamount to looking down on the ability of God. Most of the frustration you have ever seen came from your reliance on men in the times of your trials. Focus on God. Fomular for handling issues of life There is a formula for a victorious living. There is a code that make men live peacefully both in their finances, health, careers and marriages. But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding

in the work of the Lord, for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1corinthians 15:57-58 There is no challenge that can make you a failure in this life because you were not configured to fail. The life of God in you does not know the language of failure (John 1:12-13). Any challenge that comes your way is a good platform to showcase the Giant in you. There is a hidden miracle within every obstacle. God has given us victory through our Lord Jesus. That victory is rooted in the name of Christ. When you mention the name of Jesus, you activate your victory. One of the weapons that believers have successfully delivered into the hands of the enemy is their ignorance in the word of God. The enemy fights best by using our ignorance. Most of the failures we experience in life are traceable to not knowing what God has wrought for us through the redemptive sacrifice of Christ. God has already settled your case even before the case shows up. Understanding the victory you have in Christ gives you victory over the ordeal of life. It is important you personally understand that there is a victory for you in Christ. Even the devil knows that you are not a prey to be molested anyhow. The devil is aware of your victory in Christ and he is terribly afraid of it. But, the victory you do not know, you will not be able to utilize. This is not just a mere storytelling, rather a sure recipe for all life’s tumors. Who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. Romans 4:25 Jesus has paid your price. He has paid the price of everything that you are going through now. He was offered for your offences. He was killed to save you. He suffered for you to be justified. No accusation from the pit of hell can undo what Christ has done for you; it is only your ignorance that can ever limit you. The pit of hell should not keep you down in those difficulties because Jesus has settled thosethings on your behalf.

With the price that Jesus paid, you are not meant to pay for the sins of your fore fathers anymore, because Christ has delivered you from them. Christ has set you free. He has made you to reign as a glorious King (Galatians 3:13-14). When the devil accuses or attacks you, remind him of what Christ has done for you. Show the devil the content of your victory in Christ. It is in not knowing this that devil keeps you in hostage. For instance, when sickness comes, remind the devil of your victory in Christ. When you are temporary in need of any things, remind the devil of the nature of your father’s abundant wealth. Tell the devil that your God has supply all your needs according to the riches of His glory. Even if it appears that, your needs are not met instantly, because you are victory conscious, it will definitely come to pass. Learn to make use of your authority through the word of God. Let yourauthority be known to the devil. Let your mouth speaks forth of what God has done for you. The time to be silent is over. The application of the authority you have in the name of Jesus is the formula that can solve any matter that may want to swallow you. Next week I shall conclude this series, and I want you to know that you can overcome that challenge, you can have your testimony and you shall surely have it; for there is hope for your future. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

RCCG’s Excel is tool for positive change –Iluyomade ODINAKA URUAKPA

astor Idowu Iluyomade of the Apapa family of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has said that the annual gathering of the region tagged “Excel”, has over the years impacted positively on the lives of hundreds of people, in line with its themes related to change over the last eight years.

He said this year’s Excel programme which has become an annual celebration of music, worship, and insightful sermons organised by the Apapa family which is synonymous with positive change, is billed to hold on Sunday, June 7, 2015 at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos. Pastor Iluyomade, who spoke at a media parley held recently in Lagos revealed that the Apapa family is made up

of about 1, 500 churches, which are different from others because they don’t just mouth change, but impact positive change in their environments. Expected at the 2015 Excel with theme “Riding on the wings of change” is the General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye. It will also feature music ministrations by Wale Adenuga, Frank Edwards and Nathaniel Bassey. Iluyomade stated that the focus of this year’s event is on harnessing the thrust of change championed by the Apapa Family since the 2010 edition, which had the theme “Leading Change”. The cleric noted that the Apapa family comprises of parishes in Africa, Asia, Europe, USA and the Oceania, and that “We have been using the Excel Conference as a trigger for change. In this regard, we have collaborated with the Lagos State government and other public

sector institutions in establishing projects in healthcare, education, infrastructure, citizen and capacity building”. He also noted that in the past 12 months, the Arise Women, the family’s women group in conjunction with their partners has acquired three intensive care mobile clinics. “These mobile clinics which cost N72million have enabled us to take healthcare to several unreached communities in Lagos State”. Iluyomade called on other churches to emulate and replicate what the Apapa family has been doing with the Excel programme to allow for economies of scale. This he said is the reason a number of church leaders and General Overseers have been invited to the Excel 2015 programme. He also stated that over the years, the program has gathered momentum, and that as the church sees the need, it will

continue to enlarge it and that yearly, more sponsors have been partnering with the church.

Satan’s objection – God overruled (1)

od ordered a time of hunger in land, and he destroyed all the food then, he sent a man ahead of them Joseph, who was sold as a slave. They put chains around his feet and iron ring around his neck then the time he has spoken came and lord’s words proved that Joseph was right.

The king of Egypt sent to Joseph and frees him. The ruler of the [people set him fee he made him the master of the house, Joseph was in charge of his riches he could order the prince as he wished he thought the older men to be wise – “psalm 105:16 –22 the exaltation of the man who had been in the pit, and are the same time bring out, by the way, a number of subordinate objects. The thoughts of many hearts’ were to be revealed – but Joseph was to be exalted like the lord Jesus Christ God called for a famine upon the land: he sent a man before them even Joseph who was sold for a servant whose set they hurt with fetters; he was laid in iron; until the time that his word came; the word of the lord tried him. Study case Genesis 39 – 45 It is well to see that the leading object was to exalt the one whom men had rejected, and them to produce in those same men a sense of their sin in rejecting and how admirably all this is affected. The most trivial and the most unlikely, circumstance are made to minister to the de-

velopment of God’s purpose, As objection to God’s verdicts Satan uses Potipher’s wife in genesis39, and in genesis 40, he used pharaoh’s chief butler, the former he used to put Joseph into the dungeon and the latter he used to keep him there through his ungrateful negligence but all in vain. DANSAKI KABIYESI, god was behind the scenes. God’s finger was guiding all the springs of the vast machine of circumstance; and when the time was come, he brought forth the man of his purpose, and set his feet in a large room. Now this is ever God’s prerogative he is above all, and can use all for the accomplishment of his grand and unsearchable designs. It is sweet to be able thus to trace our father’s hand and counsel in everything; sweet to know that all sort of agent, are at his sovereign disposal: angels, men and devils – all are under his omnipotent hand and all are made to carry over his purpose. Here, then, was exaltation of no ordinary kind, contrast with the pit and the dungeon; and mark the chain of event by which it was all brought about, and you have, at once , a marked exhibition of the hand of God, and a striking type of the suffering and glory of the lord Jesus Christ.

Power for accomplishment via God’s grace

Prophet Lai Bamidele, General Overseer of Christ Glorious End-time Evangelical Ministry, AbuleEgba, Lagos, in this exhortation, teaches on the need to be skilful. Excerpts:

started a teaching last week on how one can enjoy God’s Grace. What do we mean by accomplishment? To accomplish means to get things done or let me put it this way “to achieve a thing”.

God’s Grace can produce, it can achieve, and can make things work out with ease. God’s Grace can deliver a man who has been soaked deeply in problems of life to come out of that same problem overnight. Take a good look at the story of a man called NOAH in the bible. When God wanted to destroy the whole world with flood, it was his Grace that made NOAH and his entire household and family to be singled out for God’s deliverance. God’s Grace has no respect for your strength, your connection, your position, because your arm of flesh cannot carry you far except his Grace that abound. God’s Grace does not disappoint. In the book of Isaiah 31: 1-3. The bible says in verse 3 “Now the Egyptians are men and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirit, when the Lord shall stretch out his hand both he that helpeth shall fall and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fall together”. When you rely on men for your help and deliverance, God will fold his hand and watch you. That is why you must learn to put your trust in God. Jeremiah 17:5. God’s Grace can deliver a man from the jaws of death. That is why a times you hear that so many people are dying of a particular sickness. When God’s Grace is upon a man the same sickness that killed others fast, will deliver, heal the other person in the midst of thousands who has been suffering the same affliction. God’s Grace can make whatever is impossible to become possible. Others might have tried doing a thing several times but when God’s Grace is in place another person will attempt it once and he get it. There are certain

things that ordinarily you may not have the strength or while wither to do it, but when his Grace is upon you, you will be able to do what seems in your eyes and the eyes of men impossible to become possible. Let me give you a brief example of what we are talking about. In the book of Esther, it was God’s Grace that made Esther after her three days fasting and prayer with the Jews i.e her kinsmen that Esther appeared before King Ahasuerus in the book of Esther chapter 5: 2-8 in verse 2 the bible says “And it was so when the King saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight, and the King held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand, and Esther drew near and touched the top of the scpter”. When God’s Grace is upon you he makes you to be distinguished in the midst of the crowd. God’s grace makes a man to appear before Kings. It is God’s grace that made our former President, Olusegun Obasanjo who was implicated in a fathom coup, and was jailed to be brought out from prison to come and rule Nigeria the second time around. In a country of over one hundred and fifty million, it takes God’s grace for a man in a cage to be brought out and found himself in the palace as a ruler. It is God’s grace that made him to have ruled Nigeria three consecutive times. It is God’s grace that made our newly sworn-in President to have attempted it three times before he finally succeeded at the fourth time. When Grace is at work, opposition is displaced. It is God’s grace upon a man that made men to favour a man. God’s grace can make you becomes whatever God had purpose to you to become. Let me sight a brief illustration of myself. It was his Grace that brought me out from darkness i.e from Islam to Christianity. No one

ever dared it in my family to get converted to Christianity. I dared and risked all including my life to surrender my life to Christ even when the whole family disowned me at an extended family meeting that was held because of me about 15 years ago that I should either renounce Christ or return to Islam. It was his Grace that sustained me in the midst of this greatest trial of my life when I had nobody to run to and I had no one to rely on. I took the bold step then; by his Grace I am privilege to be a preacher of God’s word today. Grace has no respect for where you are born and how you are born. God’s Grace has nothing to do with your connection, education, position or statues. Every journey of life is a race. In the natural you might be the least but it is supernatural he can make the last be the first. It is God’s Grace that made David to confront Goliath and killed Goliath. In the natural he was too small compared to the physique of Goliath, but because the supernatural being was with him. He was able to tame that bloody Giant. Listen, I pray for you every Giant of your father’s family that said you decree this year God will bring them down for your sake. Finally, it is God’s grace that makes a believer to be able to own up to himself and escape sin. It is his Grace that made a man who has been indulging in one sin or the other either drinking, fornication, adultery etc to finally drop all those things that one loves so much and forsake it. God’s grace brings salvation from sin and also all our desires in every areas of our lives. Eph 2:8 says “For by Grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourself, but it is the gift of God”. There are so many Christians that are gifted but when God’s Grace is not upon them, they die with that Gift without

Pastor Bamidele

making any impact in life. When a man comes to this world with God’s gift without any impact, it is like a snake that passed through a rock without any traces of his passage i.e impact. These days you see so many women that are gifted in songs before they got married they are vibrant, zealous, committed in the house of God displaying their God-given talent, but the moment they are married they end up that gift in the kitchen cooking. Such ones because their purpose of going to church is just that they are desperate for marriage, once they get it, they forget about their God given talents. Such women don’t go far in life. Some brothers after their graduation they will be so committed to things of God but the moment they get job, they come up with all manner of frivolous excuses that will not make them to be fulfilled in life. In some cases that gift might be an area that God want to really embrace them, but with only a little breakthrough they see themselves as a small god. •For counselling, contact: Pst_lai@yahoo. com.

I am getting tired, what do l do?

ou have been praying before, you need to pray the more, you have been fasting and seeking the face of God, do more, don’t give up. You might have been going to different mountains to pray, you might have gone to different churches or even have visited different Pastors, don’t give up. For with God nothing shall be impossible.

When the Lord appeared to Abraham at his old age, when he and Sarah were old and well stricken in age he told them that at the appointed time He will return unto them, according to time of life and Sarah shall have a son (Gen. 18:14). The promise of a son is there, but it will only come at the appointed time, and in Gen.21:2, the Bible says; “For Sarah conceived and bare Abraham son in his old. At the set time of which God had spoken to him”

Endtime Revelation with Bishop Bernard

Ojemeni (JP) Rev 2:12 -17

nd to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. It is the origin of Roman Catholic Church. Church became more Roman less Christian, in its practices. Many things were introduced, having been made a state religion by Emperor Constantine.

Pray the more, don’t give up (Persistence) Whenever you pray, the Lord according to Jeremiah 33:3, has heard and will answer you but it now depends on when God wants it to happen. Keeping on praying the time will surely come.If Daniel had stopped praying the first or the second day not continuing until the 21st day he would never have been able to collect the message from the Prince of Persia. I believe it’s even now. For you can change or break the calendar of God through your prayers. Mary, Jesus mother In John 2:4, when Jesus said, “my time is not yet come,” Mary made them to go back and Jesus responded. Also Jesus responded. So also is the case Of Hezekiah in 2Kings 5:20, his time to die has come but he was able to change it. Unfortunately, so many will get tired and start murmuring, complaining and talking against God which leds them in seeking after smaller gods who will deceive them, collect their money, their belongings etc, without any positive result at the end of it. The Lord told Moses in Exodus 6:5 that, “l have also heard the groaning of the children of Isreal, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage”. But He

went ahead to hardened the heart of Pharoah who did not allow the children of lsrael to go (Exodus 10:1). God delayed a little before giving total freedom to the people of lsrael so as to build up their faith, making them to believe in the God they claim they serve. However God fulfilled that which He had promised. Do not relent, at the appointed time the Lord will definitely fulfill that which He has promised, Numbers 23:19, “God is not a man, that he should lie;neither the son of man, that he should repent:hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” There was the case of a lady who is always present in every programme. She has received so many discouragements from her family, neighbours and even church members, that why is she still bothering herself attending all programmes, that can’t she sees that God is not going to answer her. Thank God, she didn’t listen to them all, she kept coming. On a particular programme day, which was not even a major programme day, she came and there and then the Lord located her. On getting home, she saw herself been prayed for again as she was been

prayed for in the programme in her dream and after the prayer she saw herself vomiting a porcupine. At the next programme she shared the testimony and not up to a week, that which she has been asking God for for over five years happened to her. Praise the Lord. She has been coming and praying for a long time and it looks as if nothing will happen, until one day the Lord visited her. Don’t give up praying, you don’t know when the Lord will say, ‘now is your time’. If you are tired of praying alone look for someone of like mind and spirit to pray with. Prayer of agreement is very effective, when two of you(especially husband and wife) are able to join hands, minds and spirit together to cry to God, according to the Bible, it is going to be answered by the Almighty God himself (Matt. 18:20). And with speed. Keep holding on. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Believe that your time is now. (Psalm 102:13). •You can send in your QUESTIONS and the Holy Spirit will be set to give you the ANSWERS. Barr. (Mrs.) Favour Tioluwani Tel: 08050272259 or 07062738213. Email: letsgobible@gmail.com

The church of Pergamous 312 – 606 Bishop Bernard Chukwuma Mbamalu Ojemeni, General Superintendent of Endtime Believers’ Ministry Inc, in this piece, gives an insight into the New World Order. Excerpts: from laymen A.D 526 A.D 593 troduced A.D 600 in Latin A.D 600 -

Extreme unction - Doctrine of Purgatory inWorship Services conducted Prayers directed to Mary

Commendation to Pergamum 1. “I know thy works” Pergamum had good works (charity) 2. “Thou holdest fast my name” Their doctrine of trinity is pure and sound. 3. “And hast not denied my faith”. Ability to die or suffer for His sake. In verse 13 Antipas died for his faith in Christ in Pergamum before Euperor Constantine stopped the killings. Condemnation 1. “For embracing the doctrine of Baalam” which is Amalgamation with the world, Paganism. 2. For embracing the doctrine of the Nicolaitans which has to do with hierarchical or Ecclesiastical order of service in church. Christ’s Challenge to Pergamum The overcomers in Pergamum are promised two things. 1. Hidden manna which is the word of God not known by all 2. White stone which stands for acquitted or justification. The church of thyatira a.D 606 – to tribulation Tribulation. Rev 2:18 – 29 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze. “I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and

is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works. But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden. Only hold fast what you have until I come. The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ It is the church of dark ages. More changes were introduced into the church.

Jesus is on more on the cross. Revelation. 1:18. Their continual sacrifice like penance, indulgence and other satanically conceived ideas are the things Jesus referred to as the depths of Satan tend to nullify the finished work of Christ on the cross. By these they are trying to earn their salvation by works. Christ revealed Himself as son of God to counter their belief in Him as son of Mary. “Eyes like flame” of feet like bronze” denote fierce judgment on the church for deviating.

They are good at that 4 faith, 5 patience – means endurance, and it of speaks of the long time period of this church 6 works and the last to be more than the first. Many people in Thyatira died as martyrs to earn martyr’s crown. People like John Wycliff, John Huss, Savonarola etc. Christ Condemnation to Thyatira 1. Allowing the woman Jezebel to seduce His servants to commit fornication. 2. To eat things sacrificed to idols which is union of the church with the world.

Those who have maintained the original image of god These are men and women in the world who have reconciled with God through the blood of Jesus offered at the Cross of Calvary and have had their souls redeemed, who are born again, having crucified their sinful nature by faith, and today live a new life in Christ. Though, they live, but the life they live now is by faith in Christ Jesus, who loved them and gave His life for them. These people are the candidates of heaven. They are the stars of God. They are the apple eyes of God. They are the people belonging to God. His royal priesthood. The peculiar people and his holy nation. They are the citizens of heaven, though they live on earth. Dear child of God, does your conscience tells you, you are part of these holy people? It is them that will hear the sound of the trumpet of the Arch Angel, on the day of rapture. Romans 8:16 “The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God” If you do not have convincing assurance that you are saved, turn now to God, with a broken heart. Confess and forsake every besetting sin that has held your soul captive all these years. “Hebrew 12:1-2 “Wherefore seeing we all also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witness, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Interpretation of God’s judgement on devil continues…… After God had declared devil the enemy of human race. The next judgement God placed on devil was to place a formidable and unreconciliable barrier between the devil and the seed of the woman. With this, God established an unending separation between the devil and the seed of the woman. They will never do things together or have anything in common. Their ways and methods must be different. That was why in the days of Moses, Joshua and other founding father of Israelites. God strictly warned that the children of Israel must never

Sexual immorality The holy writ cautions a believer no to engage in sexually immoral practice. It is viewed as one of the detestable crimes by God. it has so many implications, one of which is Aho nareah infection, H.I.V and other sexually related diseases. These diseases are very expensive to treat. They may lead to barrenness for a woman if it becomes chronic. Sexual immorality has caused break-up of matrimonial homes, and cases leading to signalization in the society by the affected people. Proverbs 6:26-29 warns the believer of the impending dangers of engag-

ing in sexual immorality.

Except for those meat, do not put yourself in un-necessary who get extra source of income in their re- bondage, nor destroy the work of God (Rospective positions, the office is always empty. mans 14:20).

The seed of the woman (3) marry from the neighbouring nations. Reason being that the children o Israel are Godly people, while the children of other nations were devilish people. God never played with this law. Infact any children of Israel who married a foreigner was cut of his people. Even in our parent day Christianity God have always warned us to separate ourselves from unbelievers. Who are these unbelievers? a) Those who rejected the gift of salvation which God gave to the world, in his son Jesus Christ b) Those who claim they received the gift of salvation of God but they refused to eat the flesh of Jesus and to drink His blood c) The heathen – these are the natural people who worship the God of thunder that is the God of judgement, the God of harvest and or many other gods. In 2nd Corinthians chapter 6: 14-18 “God strictly instructed his children that they should never related with the children of Belial which is the devil. God commanded that any of his children that had anything doing with them should break up, separate and return back to him. That it is only on this condition could he accept such one as a son or a daughter. You see that, you as a child of God separating from anything that would entangle you with the world, is a very serious concern to God. 2nd Corinthians 6:14-18 “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers” For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion hath light with darkness. And what concord hath Christ with Belial or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idol, for you are the temple of the living God; as God hath said I will dwell in them and walk in them and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you. And will be a father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters saith the Lord Almighty.” If you could remember trouble started, far back in the days of creation, when the woman tried mending fences with the devil, and entered into a talking relationship with him. The woman never anticipated wickedness from the side of the devil. She saw him as a friend, but the devil used the privilege the woman gave him to have access into her life, destroying the destiny of the entire humanity. God knew that any attempt you make to share anything in common with the devil, will end disastrously on your part.

That was why he warned all Christians worldwide to beware of the devices of the devil. The word of God has clearly revealed our enemy to us. If you, in your ignorance try to play with your enemy you are preparing the ground for inevitable tragedy. Eve is still regretting, where her soul is today, that had she known she would not have extended a hand of fellowship to the devil. Dear child of God, I encourage you in the Lord, that you should be wise, smart and watchful in prayer, for if after all this warning you decide to make your enemy your friend, he/ she would take advantage of the familiarity you have established with him/her to afflict pains on you. Be warned. Is there any enemy, you have already opened the door of your house to, find a way now, to send him/ her away, and close your door behind him/ her. The Lord said what fellowship does light have with darkness. Unfortunately many do not know who their enemies are. Your enemies are those people, no matter who they are to you who devil have entered into to pull you down. Either to break your marriage, destroy your destiny divert you from your goal, kill your vision, break your relationship, destroy your career, cause occasion that would make you to be sacked from your job, lower your conviction about God, kill your passion for Christ and finally separate you from God. How do we know these enemies In 2nd Corinthians chapter 11:14-15 “And no marvel, for satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing, if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works” The Bible calls these our enemies, the ministers of darkness. They are as follows:a) That woman / lady you are dating who is not your wife b) That man you are dating who is not your husband c) That your boyfriend who only is interested in asking you out, who has no good intension for you d) That woman who claims she loves you who is not your wife but is only interested in what she can benefit from you e) That woman in your neighbourhood, who always visit you only to tell you of the costly things her husband buys for her knowing too well, that your own husband

does not have enough to buy such thing for you f) That your fellow student, who always invite you to parties, instead of reading your books g) That friend that invite you to join cultist h) Those of your friends you smokes and drinks and tempts you to try same i) That person who supports you even when you are wrong j) That person who never encourages you to make peace with your wife when there is misunderstanding between two of you k) That person who never advices you to beg your husband when you offend him l) That person who invites you to drinking house, and tell you to push cocaine as business m) That person who teaches about worldly fashion and encourages you to dress worldly, exposing your privacies as the latest trend n) That person who does not believe what you believe but always castigate your faith. o) That person who invite you, to spiritual houses to meet with prophets, prophetess, alpha and imams.

FRESH BUSINESS NEWS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Sunday May 31, 2015

Govt spending wasteful, irrational, says PENGASSAN boss In this exclusive interview with Meshack Idehen, the President of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), Mr Francis Johnson says oil and gas workers were compelled to write an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, how to revamp the oil and gas sector. Now that President Muhammadu Buhari has been sworn in, what would you say are some of the expectations by from oil and gas workers from the country’s president? The association has repeatedly said that it is optimistic that the newly sworn in regime is determined to bring significant changes on how government businesses are conducted, particularly towards achieving effectiveness and curbing wastages of resources and potential. It is also in order to improve accountability and optimisation across the polity and the economy. As the president of PENGASSAN, I am aware of Buhari’s achievements during his tenure as federal commissioner for petroleum, and the role he played in the establishment of the nation’s refineries remains a major legacy in the industry till date. Hence our union have always identify with every wellmeaning administration as a strategic stakeholder and partner in all spheres of the oil and gas industry’s operations and administration. In the same regard, the association has already presented a road map that will effectively support in confronting the litany of issues besetting the oil and gas Industry in general. In particular, what are the association’s expectations on the Petroleum Industry Bill, now that a new president is in place in the country? It is the expectation of PENGASSAN that the PIB, when passed eventually by this administration will clarify the rules and procedures that will entrench good governance, transparency and accountability in the oil and gas sector, as well as such operational and fiscal terms that will enable Nigeria to competitively retain equitable proportion of revenue accruing from oil and gas industry operations. However, we must also note that reservations and controversies from stakeholders and operators have slowed down the efforts to pass the Bill into law. The delayed passage of the PIB has opened up the unresolved issues, such as industry’s legal/regulatory framework, which is regularly subjected to ministerial discretion and fiat that has significantly caused the suspension and diversion of several investment projects to other African countries. The uncertainty and lack of alignment with the industry’s operators on the proposed fiscal regime in the PIB has further prolonging the stay of action on the stalled investments. Existing and prospective investors seriously yearn for basic incentives to stimulate their business interest across industry’s value chain. As things presently are, there is growing anxiety within host communities waiting to benefit from the PIB’s provision of 10 per cent Host Community Fund and accept accountability for sabotage of oil installations in their areas. This is alongside the fears that the issues in the PIB may be compounded further by the irregular funding of Joint Venture (JV) Budget and the non-payment of cash call obligations, in the face of the dwindling oil price. These are some of the identified challenges the new President of Nigeria must contend with. What steps do you think should be taken that can bring sanity and satisfaction to stakeholders within and outside the industry? There is need for an all-inclusive stakeholder’s summit – of the Industry operators/players, presidency House of Repsentatives and Senate, the security and service chiefs,

state governments, ministries, department and agencies, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, Nigeria Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative. All Federal Inland Revenue Offices, the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress, National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers and PENGASSAN in order to harmonise the grey areas and ensure accelerated passage of the PIB in a fair and equitable manner, because it must be said that the exemplary display of sportsmanship by the former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has doused the tension surrounding the outcome of the just concluded election and provided a veritable platform for that summit. As the stakeholder’s summit is being considered, commendation must also go to all Nigerians for their peaceful conduct and patience at ensuring that they cast their votes for their choice candidates. It is encouraging to note that Nigerians also remained peaceful during the elections for the continued existence of Nigeria. The present leadership in the country must give urgent and adequate attention to the oil and gas sector in order to move it forward. It is the hope of oil and gas workers that issues affecting the sector, which accounts for a large portion of the nation’s revenue, will be sustainably resolved for the greater benefits of the country. How do you respond to accusations against PENGASSAN and NUPENG of always rushing to embark on strikes at any slight disagreement with government or other stakeholders like multinationals, oil marketers etc? Neither PENGASSAN nor NUPENG choose to embark on strike over any issue. It is a weapon of last resort, as you will agree that the sector is crying for attention over many pending issues. The issues of strikes and products scarcity can become a thing of the past, if the government and stakeholders come together to fashion out ways and means by which the sector can be utilised for the benefits of the country. Now that a new president is in place in the country, what is PENGASSAN’s position on the call for reduction in the number of political aides by public office holders? For us as an association, we have consistently maintained that the Federal Government instead of imposing an unnecessary austerity measures on Nigerians, that government at all levels, especially the executive and legislators, should prune the numbers of their political aides as a means of cutting cost, particularly of governance in the country. The huge number of political appointees acting as aides to the presidency, ministers, state governors and their commissioners are simply wasting of national resources and putting pressure on the economy. Austerity measures have been declared in the wake of falling oil price. What for you is the way forward in the light of this situation? Again, the Federal Government, particularly the Federal Ministry of Finance must be warned against stifling the economy through withholding of funds for human and developmental projects. It (FMF) must be encouraged instead to tighten the noose around all avenues of leakages and wastages. Instead for the government to introduce austerity measures that will further impoverish and inflict more pains

Johnson

on the people, the governments should consider reducing to the barest minimum the numbers of senior special advisers, special advisers, advisers and other aides that are attached to the presidency, the ministers, governors as well as members of the National Assembly and state houses of assembly. The kind of government we are running in Nigeria is wasteful and irrational and if we are looking for ways to cut cost, I think the first place to exemplarily focus in the direction of reducing the numbers of presidential aides from 133 to the barest minimum of about 20. The huge amount we spend in paying these aides can be used on developmental projects and boosting of the nation’s economy The governors, ministers and federal and state legislators should also be made to reduce their aides to a sizeable number that our economy can bear and whatever is gotten from this exercise should be used in supporting and bolstering the economy. The union also is calling on the Federal Government to develop other sectors along with the extractive and manufacturing industries as a way to further diversified the national economy from its monolithic nature of dependence on oil and gas. It is only the development of the other minerals, agricultural and the manufacturing sectors that can help Nigeria to escape the vagaries of the challenges pose by the dwindling global oil price, especially as our agrarian potentials are being left under-optimised. It must be understood by the new administration that the price of oil is critical to the world economy, given that oil is the largest internationally traded good both in volume and value terms. Only oil is linked to some extent to the prices of other products. Dwindling oil price is now raising palpable fear due to the over dependence on oil and gas exports for over 90 per cent of our country’s foreign exchange earnings. The Excess Crude Account created to cushion the economy at difficult times like this had been depleted. The drop in oil price and its effects on the Nigeria economy is due to a number of factors including lack of foresight and strategic plan towards local refining and petrochemical activities, crude oil theft and pipeline vandalisation, lack of formidable legal framework such as the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), and huge importation of refined products.

Again, the ‘Sanusinomics’ My point exactly!

NICK

UWERU E-mail: nickuweru@gmail.com 08182042961

et me make a small confession. I hate figures. This is probably why I was never really good in maths. So when I encounter people who play with figures with ease like I play with keyboards on my computer, I am awed.

Well, all that ended after ‘sanusinomics’ entered the financial accounting procedures of the Federation Account. Sanusinomics is a strange branch of financial accounting that allows the player juggle figures in manners that defies arithmetic logic. Say you are a banker, or Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, governor for instance, you could pass off monetary figures like $12 billion, $10.8 billion, $20 billion or $18.5 billion as one and the same in quantum sum if you are adept at ‘sanusinomics. Now, here is the caveat. You do not play this game in a clime where there is a seriously discerning public. This is because getting a sack may just be the least of your worries if you do so. But of course, this is Nigeria the land of abracadabra; where inanities like ‘sanusinomics’ becomes the point of serious national discourse. If not so, why should the recent tirade of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, former CBN governor and author of sanusinomics, on the $20 billion

missing (or is it unremitted?) oil money generate the kind of hackles it raised recently? In a recent article in Financial Times, Sanusi claimed that Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, did not remit $18.5 billion into the federation account. This was his interpretation of the report from special audit of NNPC books by Pricewater Cooper, PwC, an auditing firm contracted by federal government to look into the claims of Sanusi that $20 billion was not remitted to the federation account. In fact, before PwC, the Senate, through its Finance committee presided over by Ahmed Makarfi had put a lie to Sanusi’s claim. Makarfi was thoroughly flustered by Sanusi’s strange prevarications on what he claims to be missing from the federation account. In his final report on the allegation by the former CNB governor, a bewildered Makarfi blurted out: “At the conclusion of his written submission, he (Sanusi) posited that it (unremitted fund) could be $20 billion, $12 billion, $10.8 billion or anything in between.” Pray, how do you take a banker who is not sure of his figures seriously? I will be the first to admit that NNPC is a highly corrupt oil regulatory firm. I will also add, too, that plugging the many leaking holes in NNPC is not about playing to the gallery like Sanusi did. A deliberate effort such as the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB, currently gathering dust in the National Assembly, is the way to go if only the lawmakers can man up and pass it for presidential assent. So not surprisingly PwC’s findings showed that no $20 billion was missing or unremitted. But seeking a way to muddy

the waters, Sanusi in Financial Times, claims that PwC has since vindicated him. In a strange annotation of the PwC report, Sanusi insists that $18.5 billion was missing according to the auditing firms findings. For him, it does not matter whether the figure is down by a whole $1.5 billion, or that there has been inconsistencies in his claims from the beginning. The mere fact that others have put a lie to his claims is just not acceptable to a blue blood like him! Sanusi now goes by the highfaluting name of Muhammad Sanusi II after he became Emir of Kano, one of West Africa’s most urbane metropolises. Despite the name change, Sanusi’s recent article has shown that the former CBN is not changed in character. His recent claim of a missing $18 billion is an inconsistency of a schizophrenic proportion. When he began the controversy some two years ago, he claimed that NNPC, failed to remit $49 billion of federal earnings in oil into the federation account. The allegation hit up the polity, polarising the country into ethnic and regional fault lines. Even so, investors were sufficiently alarmed at the prospect of such money missing. But the real drama, for me, began after government ministries, department and agencies got involved in the matter. At some point, Sanusi was forced to recant. From $49 billion, the money got reconciled to $10.5 billion yet to be accounted for. It was also explained too that the figure was not missing but was not reconciled. It was a sheepish Sanusi that admitted to the media at the time that the initial figure bandied by him came about from a poor accounting procedure at the CBN.

Barely three hours later before a Senate inquest on the matter, the former CBN governor sang another tune. ‘It’s $12 billion’, Sanusi told the Senate committee, at the time. Of course, his suspension amid the controversy further fuelled storm over the alleged missing $20 billion. But aiming to put a lid on the crisis, federal government contracted PwC, a globally recognised auditing firm, to carry out a special purpose investigation into the claims by Sanusi that the said money was actually missing. The rest, as they say, is now history. And Now That Buhari is here... A friend of mine asked me earlier in the week why my comments so far on the handover power from the hands of PDP to APC has been more of cynical. Well, my answer to him was to go back memory lane. I wasn’t exactly a baby when Muhammadu Buhari took over power in 1983. I saw first, hand those efforts he made to stamp out corruption. I was also there when toothy Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida took over power from Buhari and the attendant jubilation that followed. The recriminations that followed Buhari’s ouster has this disturbing similarity with the way ex-President Goodluck Jonathan is still being hackled non-stop. Maybe the only difference is that nobody has been placed under house arrest. My worry is: what made Buhari a villain then and what makes him a hero now? How long will the honeymoon last before we begin hurling abuses at our new president? I really wonder who the real problem is: our past leaders or the impatient, very gullible average Nigerian with a very short memory span.

Hope is alive again CHARLES IYORE

ver since 1986, when we chose to ditch, as a nation, administrative control and its line of sight management, for a deregulated economy, the economy has always wobbled. Central planners, till date, remain confused as to whether to stay in the lazy comfort of the administrative setting, or go for the growth promise of deregulation.

All along, with the wobble, we have been driven by drivels from gobbledygook spewing economists, often lacking in common sense advisory, needed for critical change management. The effect of these partial and a la carte transformation programmes has been utter confusion. Schisms and disagreements within administrations have led to divergent policy directions, which have opened-up cleavages in the economy with devastating effects on domestic production. The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, will be returning to the saddle, into a yet undefined market economy setting. Gone are the administrative lines of control management he may have been accustomed to in the first coming, and

so also are the co-administrators in whom he had faith and trust. That’s how fluxed the state of affairs are that many do not know whether we are coming or going. The resulting hopelessness is written on the faces of citizens across the land. Against that background, the burden of public expectation is high, and only a systematic challenge of each and everyone, to be the change that they desire, rather than a rabid rush to get a piece of the pie, will deliver hope to the hopeless, and put the nation back on the mend. Late Professor Alan Walters, chief economic adviser to the late British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, when he said that the problem with achieving economic growth targets, was largely due to civil servants and their political policy leaders who do not understand markets, and the considerable importance of money in their processes. A large number of classical economists, 364 of them, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer took him on, but he poured enough whisky for the Prime Minister, to stiffen her spine, and she stayed the course. The rest like they say is history. She privatized under performing state assets, brought in imaginative ways of creating public assets through PPPs and

PFIs, won the admiration of an equally focussed American President, Ronald Reagan, and found a Russian leader, the West could do business with, Mikael Gorbachev. Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher and her team proved that classical economics is not the issue but their application (the technology of it) as expressed in markets that work that matter. Put in her words men that can make things happen. Governance must focus, at all times, on the well-being of the individual (citizen) by constantly creating opportunities for them to reach their aspirations. It must move away from extreme ideological positions of sharing without creating, or the belief that wealth created at the top will trickle-down. The new executive and legislature must arm themselves, with concepts of money and markets as veritable tools of analysis. Having acquired their tools, they should use them to drive their policy decision processes, in such a manner, that the public good is always defended against the exploitative tendencies of private interests. This is the only ways to stops the fits of starts and stops which has bedevilled our privatization programme and the efforts to keep to the

design plan of new cities. If we are able to Stay the course, while keeping to strict monetary targets, the markets and by extension the economy will equilibrate themselves. The levers of monetary control will begin to work again and hope will be restored. There are many underperforming and sub optimal markets in the economy. Power markets without definition, capital markets lacking in confidence, government gilts with blunting edges, healthcare without cover, farmers exploited by buying agents, skill markets that are inappropriate etc, etc. Any place, real or virtual, where goods and services are exchanged is a market. Economic deregulation, which allows private sector participation in hitherto exclusive areas of government play does not mean the market space will not be regulated. Regulation to extract value through competition, while keeping a watchful eye for anti-trust and manipulations. •Charles Iyore is the Principal partner, Dion & Associates CTA dioncta@aol.com Text only +447932945002

How 38-year-old man escaped from suspected ritualists OBASOLUYI TELEWA

I “

IG, Solomon Arase

thought the end had come when the vehicle refused to stop “, says Dennis Joseph, a victim of suspected ritualists disclosed to Sunday Mirror, at a location in Lagos, at the weekend.

The Imo state indigene narrated his ordeal in the hands of his captors to our correspondent thus: “My name is Denis Joseph. I am 38 years old. I am from Imo state, Owerri North Local Government Area. I was born in Port Harcourt. I graduated from Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu. “Presently I am into the distribution of Nestle products in Lagos and other states of the Federation.” According to him, “Recently a customer called me from Ikorodu that he needed some products urgently and that I should come and see him for proper negotiation before the second day. “At about 2pm the following day, I boarded a Siena minivan from Ojota .We were about five in the vehicle including the driver of the vehicle I asked them how much was the fares and they told me it was #200. “I said it was okay since the vehicle would be faster, I said no problem. I was in a hurry to catch up with my appointment. As we were going ,my spirit was very cold. I now flashed back to what happened at Ojota, shortly before we took off. I discovered then that some people in an attempt to enter the vehicle held back”, he said. According to him, they did not enter the car. It was unusual for my spirit to be so cold like that if there was no eventuality or imminent danger. As we moved further since my spirit was not willing and becoming uncomfortable in the car, I told the driver,’ Oga , please stop me here, I told them felt like continuing with the journey, let me pay you your correct fare.’ “The driver responded that he could not stop at the place they were because it was dangerous since it was an expressway more so because of the law enforcement agents. I said please stop me let me get down here, the journey meant nothing to me again but he refused. He accelerated the speed. I told

Joseph

him it is not dangerous for him to stop and that I could see vehicles stopping and people moving about freely and that there was no danger in it. “Before I knew what was happening, he increased the speed. In the process it became dawned on me that the occupants were not normal people. So I started struggling with them to go out. “They started saying their incantation. Their invocation was so much that I knew it was only God that could save me at that point even though I believed that as a Christian, I would not die in the hands of those people. My escape was not possible because I was sandwiched by two men on my sides, with another at the back. I started shouting in the vehicle; leave me I want to go out.

But my shout was inaudible since the windows were closed. Because of the way we sat there was no way I could jump out easily. Then I hit on the car, I hit on the other side, all my hands got bruises in an attempt to escape danger and death. Blood started coming out of my hands. I found out that they don’t want to stop as I was shouting and screaming. One of them said to me that why are you proving too stubborn, don’t you see other passengers in calm position. I did not even mind him. All these things happened shortly after Owode, Mile 12 area of the state. As I was doing that, one of them told the driver that we better hurry up o, this guy is proving too stubborn. They said this guy is not the type of person we need o, we better hurry up.

It was when they started saying this that I discovered that they were not ordinary people and out to harm me. Fortunately for me and bad for them and through divine intervention and on coming trailer from the other side had blocked the road and the car could not penetrate the small opening. The car could not bypass the big trailer so it had to stop. I continued shouting. That was how they stopped abruptly and I came out of the car. Then some Policemen and people came round to inquire about what was happening. I narrated everything to them and they arrested the remaining occupants. They started asking them why are you doing this? The Police searched the vehicle and found dangerous weapons, charms, knives and all those fetish things. Me I started thanking God for delivering me and rescuing me from their hands left the place. I did not follow those apprehended to the Police. “For the fact that I came out of the vehicle safely was okay for me. God just saved me miraculously from those people. So I thank Him. Because if not God I don’t know if I could have survived it. Those people are ritualists because they did not even asked me for money , he told our correspondent . “They were only after my life. My advice to people going on a journey is for them to pray before they go out. So as to prevent unexpected mishaps. They also have to be careful and look well before boarding any vehicle. The Police too need to be on strategic places so that they would know who is who during the day, afternoon and at night. Even when people are shouting or struggling inside the car or bus, they will be able to respond easily and follow up the vehicle. That was what helped me and people started to come round to help me. Efforts by our correspondent to get the Police angle was not successful at the time of filling this report.

Malian President visits El-Rufai, says Kaduna’ll be great A ZA MSUE KADUNA

resident of the Republic of Mali, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, yesterday visited Kaduna State’s new Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, saying the state will be great. Keita, who had earlier attended the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on Friday stopped over in Kaduna to congratulate El-Rufai on his victory and swearing-in. According to President Keita, ”I am deeply convinced that since yesterday, a new dawn, a wonderful wind will blow on Nigeria with the inauguration of

President Muhammadu Buhari and your inauguration as a young and wonderful governor of this wonderful state of Kaduna. “I am delighted to be the first president to visit you in your new capacity as governor of Kaduna State. But I am convinced that I won’t be the last and only president to visit you in Kaduna State. “Me and my team are assuring you of how committed we are and how committed we will be to strengthen relationship between Nigeria and Mali,” Keita assured. He however prayed that God will inspire and guide both President Buhari and

Governor El-Rufai to lead their respective domains to greater heights. Earlier, El-Rufai said Nigeria and Kaduna State in particular had a lot to learn from the Malian president in their attempt to unite the country and Kaduna State. According to El-Rufai, what Keita has done since his election as the president of the Republic of Mali by stabilising the country and bringing peace back to the republic is something that he is very proud of and hoped that Kaduna and Nigeria have a lot to learn from what Keita has done in Mali. “We have inherited a divided country in Nigeria and President Buhari will

have to work very hard to kill those divisions. Here in Kaduna State, we have similar problems of division along religious and tribal lines. “So, I am happy that the first visitor to our state is someone that is working very hard to cure his country of such cleavages. I am very grateful to you for visiting us. I can say with all sense of pride that I am the only governor that has received a president in his state. El-Rufai added: “This is my first official function since being sworn in yesterday (Friday). It is a thing of joy for me to have my elder brother here who has always been a source of inspiration.”

What I learnt from youths trekking for Buhari –Shettima INUSA NDAHI MAIDUGURI

OVERNOR Kashim Shettima of Borno State has said he had picked two unspoken messages from the effort of youths who are trekking hundreds of kilometres to commemorate the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC. A trek from Lagos to Abuja by Katsina-born Suleiman Hashim, covering about 750 kilometres from last days of March to early weeks of April 2015, which turned Hashim to a star that was received by different leaders in Nigeria, including Buhari as President-elect, clearly instigated dozens of youths who began trekking from different states to Abuja, Lagos, Borno, Bayelsa and vice versa. Shettima himself received one young man last week who rode on bicycle from Biu, a local government area in southern part of Borno State, passing through Gombe, Potiskum, Damaturu down to Maiduguri in days, covering

about 500 kilometres. But beneath the attractions of the long distance trekking and biking, the governor believes there were two important messages the youth passed without mentioning them. They were basically that there were no jobs for them while they have potential for useful purposes as well as strength to revolt against authorities in the event they are tired of living without jobs. “I do not mean to disrespect some gallant Nigerian youths that invented a new way of celebration, marked by long distance trekking from one extreme point to another. But I really do not think that any youth that is gainfully employed could have embarked on trekking for weeks. For me, I have taken note of two messages from these trekkers. The first message is a strong and bold reminder that there are no jobs for the youth in Nigeria. The second, which I consider more seriously, is that Nigerian youths have the courage and strength to do what many leaders never thought they could.

Benue: Ortom warns against violence, corruption HENRY IYORKASE MAKURDI

ewly sworn-in Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has warned youths engaged as thuggery to find more productive ventures to engage in. He said his administration would not tolerate any form of violence. Ortom, who spoke shortly after he was sworn in by the state Chief Judge, Justice Iorhemen Hwande at IBB Square Makurdi, stressed

that his administration wiouldnot condone misappropriation of government funds, advising those coming into his government with the desire to make money to jettison the idea. According to him, his government will have zero tolerance for corruption and any government official involved in any shady deal will be decisively dealt with. “Those interested in making money should join business; those wishing to serve in this government

should be ready to provide selfless service because those with intention of making money will not be accommodated. “We will live our vision in work and action, so that tiny colony of self seekers will not dampen our mission. We will lead by example so if you chop our money our money will also chop you,” Ortom maintained. He noted that his administration would also do appropriate legislation for those with animals to keep

them in ranches, to avoid issue of clashes and end the crop famers and Fulani herdsmen crisis. He stressed that those who deliberately refuse to be integrated into the new reform would be vigorously pursued, hunted and account for their misdeed. Ortom also pledged to offset the unpaid salaries of workers in the state just as he said he would clear monthly pension owed the state senior citizens.

APC youth forum endorses Abdullahi as Borno deputy speaker INUSA NDAHI MAIDUGURI

political group of All Progressives Congress, APC, under the aeges of ‘Carry Go Borno State Project’, CGBP, led by its Coordi-

nator, Mr. Ijudigal Fali ,yesterday rose from their meeting in Maiduguri and resolved to rally round the member of the Borno State House of Assembly ,BOSHA, Abdullahi Askira to be appointed as deputy speaker.

The group insisted that Abdullahi, who has more experience in legislative matters, is the only and capable member among the ruling APC contenders, as this is not the first time he is representing the people of Askira Uba

local council in the House. It would be recalled that during the Governorship and House of Assembly elections held on April 11, the APC swept all the 28 seats at the BOSHA as the party defeated the main opposition PDP.

Taraba Governor, Mr. Darius Ishaku, yesterday promised to rescue the state from the shackles of poverty, educational backwardness, youth unemployment and general underdevelopment being faced by the state. Ishaku, who spoke at a reception in his honour in Jalingo said the state is in dire need of urgent intervention in all the critical sectors, particularly infrastructure, education and youth employment, without which his rescue mission will not yield the desired result. “There is urgent need to rescue the state from its present state of decaying educational infrastructure, near collapsed health sector, youth unemployment, insecurity and environmental degradation. “We are aware of the huge expectations you have on this government. By the grace of God, we will consolidate on the achievements of Danbaba’

administration and also surmount the numerous challenges from the decaying educational system to youth unemployment, environmental sanitation, water, health care, among others,” he told the gathering. The governor, who appealed to the people of the state to be patient with his administration, said they were coming on board at a critical time, considering the huge indebtedness of the state which had plunged it into serious financial crisis. On the frequent clashes in some parts of the state, Ishaku enjoined the people to forgive one another and embrace peace to move the state forward, even as he pledged to look at the condition of the internally displaced persons and restore peace. He paid glowing tributes to Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (rtd), former governor of the state, Danbaba Danfulani Suntai and the former acting governor, Sani Danladi, who handed over to him on behalf of his recuperating boss Suntai for their sacrifices towards the development of the state.

Captain and defender Wendie Renard won the French title with OL this season along with midfielder Louisa Necib, while solid centre-back Laura Georges and pacy forward Marie-Laure Delie recently finished UEFA Champions League runners-up with the capital side. As for the hosts, Coach John Herdman has put his faith in an experienced spine, from goalkeeper Erin McLeod to midfield stalwarts Desiree Scott and Sophie Schmidt, thorough to striker Melissa Tancredi up front. All will look to serve Canadian legend Christine Sinclair, who has already racked up over 150 goals for her country. Indeed, experience has clearly been earmarked as a precious commodity by most of the teams on show, with New Zealand travelling with no fewer than 15 players who were also selected for the 2011 edition – and five who were present in 2007. Neighbours Australia have an average age of just 23, meanwhile, but they have picked 13 members of the squad that reached the quarter-finals at Germany 2011, including Hyundai Young Player Award winner Caitlin Foord and veteran goalkeeper Melissa Hudson (nee Barbieri), not to mention Asian player of the year Katrina Gorry. Familiar faces likewise abound in Sweden’s squad, where the country’s most capped player Therese Sjogran is set to hang up her boots after Canada 2015. The Blagult will also draw strength from Lotta Schelin, who regularly finishes among the top scorers in every competition she enters. England midfielder Katie Chapman returns to the World Cup stage as well, having been recalled by Mark Sampson after five years away from international football. She will help the European contenders get to grips with some of the big names lurking in Group F, such as Yoreli Rincon of Colombia and Mexico duo of Charlyn Corral and Monica Ocampo. Lastly, newcomers Spain will be hoping for stellar performances from key player Veronica Boquete, a Champions League winner with Frankfurt this month, while fellow debutants Switzerland boast the goal scoring nous of Ramona Bachmann and Lara Dickenmann. Also making their bow, the Netherlands will be spearheaded by prolific young forward Vivianne Miedema, one of the most clinical finishers during the European qualifiers for Canada 2015.

Khan targets Mayweather

ormer two-time light welterweight champion Amir Khan says he wants to fight Floyd Mayweather next after claiming a unanimous points’ victory over American Chris Algieri in their welterweight bout in New York on Friday. Khan, 28, scored 117-111, 117-111 and 115-113 on the three judges’ scorecards to claim a fifth consecutive win. The Briton now wants to try to end triple-welterweight world champion Mayweather’s 48-fight unbeaten run.

“I want that fight next. I’m WBC number one contender. He’s the champion. So let’s make it happen.” Mayweather beat Manny Pacquiao earlier this month in Las Vegas to add the WBO welterweight title to the WBC and WBA titles he already owned, in the most lucrative fight in boxing history. Mayweather, 38, who is set to retire after a final fight in September, turned down a meeting with Khan last year ahead of the Pacquiao bout.

Cotto will knock out Geale – Roach

head of Miguel Cotto’s June 6th defence of the WBC 160lb belt he won last year against an injured Sergio Martinez, his manager Freddie Roach has predicted that he will knock out his challenger, Daniel Geale in either the 8th or 9th round. Speaking on the likely outcome of the catchment weight contest, Roach noted that despite the significant height, reach and rehydration weight advantages Geale is going to have, his boxer is capable of stop-

ping the former three time world champion through a knockout. There has been fierce media criticism of Cotto for seemingly refusing to fight mandatory challenger, Ka Gennady Golovkin; yet Roach claims it was he who picked Geale as the opponent for Cotto and thus, surely accepts part of the responsibility. “Well you know, I picked Geale to be the opponent. I thought he was a good opponent, he’ll be able to give us some rounds which I think is what we need right now”, he said.

Witsel: Belgium are feared now You’re more in the media spotlight ght now since the World Cup. Are you ou pleased about that? I’ve always had a good relationionship with the media, both in Belgium and Portugal and now in Russia. The championship here ere doesn’t get that much media covoverage, and there wasn’t much said aid about me when I arrived at Zenit. nit. That all changed, though, when hen Hulk and the rest of them came me here. The World Cup also had da big part to play, and I’m more in the spotlight now that I used to be. I like that, though it’s just another ther part of the job and you don’t really eally have much of a choice. Marc Wilmots has said that you and team captain Vincent Kompany are his right-hand men on the pitch. What attributes do you need to have to fulfill that role? It was a natural thing that at came about when he switched d me to a defensive role in midfield. I had some good games there, which gave me confidence, and it’s thanks to thatt and my performances that I’ve become e an important player for the national team. I’ve always been a leader, even when en I was a youngster at Standard. All I’m doing now is giving my all so I can perform m that role for Belgium. Everyone knows about your technical hnical qualities, but what is it that makes you a leader? eader? I’ve been around for a few years. ears. I started playing for the national side when I was 18 and now I’m 26. You don’t get there just because cause of how good a player you are. You also have to know how to communicate and when to talk to yourr team-mates. When I do that, when I try to get them to correct a little mistake, I always do it in a positive way. I’ve always been calm and laid-back in the way I go about things. When it comes to the big competitions, s, we have to be on top of our game and at our very best st the whole time. You’re known for having a cool head. What makes you lose it? You really have to push me for me to lose it (laughs). It doesn’t happen a lot, ot, but when it does I still try to stay as calm as I can, even if that’s not easy. On the pitch it can happen when n I’ve been kicked two or three times, when I see thatt my opponent is just out to hurt me. That’s what happens ppens when you’re a skilful player. I watch someone e like Eden Hazard, and he stays really calm despite e getting kicked a lot in every match. What lessons have you learned from the last World Cup? We had a team with some great players who have an awful lot of talent. It was our first major tournament together butt it ended on a sour note for us in the quarter-finals r-finals against

Now 26, Axel Witsel is one of the figureheads of Belgian football’s much-lauded “golden generation”, one that reached the quarter-finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil before going down narrowly to eventual runners-up Argentina. Capped more than 50 times by his country, the Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder has become one of national team coach Marc Wilmots’ most trusted lieutenants on the pitch. A leader, a gifted technician and a precise passer of the ball, Witsel also possesses the intelligence, maturity and composure needed to ensure his coach’s orders are implemented on the field of play. FIFA.com sat down with him for an exclusive interview.

Wilmots

Argentina. M y feeling is we could have done a lot better. That’s the lesson we have to take away from it: when it comes to the big competitions, we have to be on top of our game and at our very best the whole time. We’ve moved on now, but in the moments after that game it was very hard to take. Let’s talk about

now. What has he brought to Belgium? He’s restored some discipline to the team, on and off the pitch. He’s also given us confidence and made us stronger. On top of all that our natural qualities came through and teams started to fear us. No matter who we play against now, though, we don’t have that surprise factor any more. In the past our opponents would say: ‘We’re up against Belgium. They’ve got some good players but we’ll be fine.’ Now it’s a case of: ‘we’re up against Belgium: we need to be careful.’ We’ve had to get used to playing against teams who sit deep with two lines of four and who play on the counter. There was more space for us before. Belgium seems to have a very tight-knit side. We’ve known each other for quite a while now, both in the national team and at club level, and on the pitch and off it. That’s one of our strengths. We’re more than just team-mates. We’re a bunch of mates too, a group of friends. Everyone can see that when we do videos for the national team, for sponsors and the like. What role do you play in that group of friends? Do you have a nickname? I’m the one who’s always calm and relaxed. I’m like the wise one (laughs). My nickname is Chaloupe (meaning “rolling gait” in French) because of my style, the way I am and the way I walk and dribble with the ball. Siramana Dembele, who was with me at Standard, gave me the name when I was 18. Then everyone started calling me Chaloupe. What’s your biggest attribute on the pitch? Who are your role models and in what ways have they inspired you during your career? I think my biggest attribute is the way I shield the ball and the face that I don’t tend to give it away. Even though I play in a different position to him, Zinedine Zidane has always been an idol of mine. With his control of the ball and his

skill, he’s the best in the world. I also love Andrea Pirlo. He’s pure class. He plays a little more defensive-

l y than me. They’re two players who’ve inspired me to keep working on my game, especially with my left foot and my long passing. You play quite high up the pitch for your club and yet you have a holding role with Les Diables Rouges. Are you happy about that? The coach knows very well what I can do and he knows I can be a No8 and play a box-to-box game, which is what I do for Zenit. We’ll see in the future which position I’m in. I can play as a No 6 if need be, though I do like to get forward. You’ve played for Standard, Benfica and now Zenit. Which other clubs would you liked to have played for? When I was at Benfica I had the chance to go to Real Madrid, though it didn’t come about for various reasons. I wasn’t down about it for very long though, and I turned the page quickly. I’m 26, I’m still young and I’m a pretty patient kind of person. Even so, it was Real Madrid we’re talking about here, and when the idea was put to me I did picture a few things in my mind. Playing in the Russian league, which gets less media coverage than other championships, hasn’t stopped Wilmots from putting his faith in you. Does its lack of profile mean you have to prove yourself more? Would you like to play in one of Europe’s top five league’s at some stage? Yes, it does push us to show that bit more in the Champions League or the Europa League than the players who are in England, Italy, Spain and Germany, though I try not to think about it too much. It’s always been a goal of mine to play for one of Europe’s top clubs, and it still is, though I’m trying to focus on my club because we absolutely have to win the league. We’ll see what the future holds for me at the end of the season.

Arsenal outclass Villa to win 12th FA Cup title

Ferdinand retires from football

ormer England captain Rio Ferdinand has retired from football, days after being released by Queens Park Rangers. The 36-year-old said it was “the right time” to retire from “the game I love”, in a statement read out on BT Sport. London-born Ferdinand, who had 12 years at Manchester United after spells with West Ham and Leeds, last played for QPR in March. In the statement, he paid tribute to his wife Rebecca Ellison, who died from breast cancer on 1 May.

e should start by asking a few pertinent questions on the issue of the enormous powers granted our Presidents by the constitution: Why raise the dust now with Buhari? Did former Presidents Obasanjo and Yar’adua of blessed memory and Goodluck Jonathan not enjoy same enormous powers? Why the concern now with President Buhari? Why is the ruling elite now catching cold when Buhari has not even assumed office? It is worth remembering that in spite of his “brash-in-your-face American style” leadership: in spite of his experience as a former military head of state, OBJ was once compelled to cry out to Nigerians when the National Assembly tried to obstruct the president’s policies and programmes for the poor people. That was instructive Now, in the aftermath of Buhari’s

Re: The price of progressive change

victory at the polls, some die-hard PDP activists are asking cynically if Buhari would find it easy to actualise many of his policies and programmes. Could be that these cynics know something that the rest of us do not know? Or is t that there are plans to use the National Assembly as clogs on the wheels of Buhari’s administration? Of course all these are clear signs of the existence of class conflict, which the poor people may not even be aware of. But the greedy and rapacious elite have been at this game for a long time now. Many of them are the godfathers of some of our newly-elected members of the National Assembly. Alan Ball I think it was who defined politics as a game of who gets what, when, and how? What is happening now shows how the rich and powerful always get their way and leave the rest of us shortchanged, hungry and helpless. It is a signification of the battle between THEY (the rich and the powerful) and US the poor and downtrodden. In many of his policy statements, Buhari has always expressed concern about the plight of the long suffering Nigerian masses and what he plans to do about this is cold comfort to the members of the ruling elite. This why even before he is sworn in the elite class was gearing up for the fight that would demonstrate how conservative and unyielding to change they are. Conservatives are anti-prog-

Blatter hits out at ‘hate campaign’ IFA president Sepp Blatter has launched an attack on the US justice authorities and English media, claiming the corruption crisis was designed to unseat him. Blatter also said he will not forget the “hate campaign” that was aimed against him by UEFA, who called on him to resign. He claimed the arrest of seven FIFA officials on US corruption indictments earlier this week may have been an attempt to interfere with the Congress where he was re-elected for a fifth term as president on Friday, beating Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan in the vote. UEFA president Michel Platini personally asked Blatter to resign over the corruption scandal, and also appealed for

members to vote him out at the election in Zurich. Blatter told Swiss TV station RTS: “No-one is going to tell me that it was a simple coincidence. The American attack two days before the elections doesn’t smell right. It has touched me and FIFA. “Not only did they try to deni-

ress and anti-change. And so they are battle ready to use any means available to “whittle down (his) president’s enormous powers”. But this time around with Buhari as the arrowhead and the level of awareness among Nigerians brought on especially by the hardships of the recent past, the elite class is not going to find it easy to engage in their usual deceit and manipulation. Can the average Nigerian today forget easily how the elite class has continued to subvert the education sector just to keep the people in perpetual ignorance and subjugation? Truly their game is up. Today the elite class is faced with a war that it cannot win. All those apologists for conservatives would fall and be put to shame. Change is a permanent feature of life that keeps society moving forward. But to be conservative is to allow such stagnation as often leads to decadence. Indeed the conservative agenda leads directly to decadent materialism. Now, while I agree with you that there is a difference between constitution making and law making, while I agree with you that there is a need ultimately to return to the people in a sovereign constitutional conference. I also suggest that the press in particular and all the progressive forces in general should rise up to the challenge of educating and informing the masses of the salient issues

grate me but also they used the moment to say, ‘This is the time to go’. Then it was said, ‘We are going to boycott the congress’. But where are we? Where is the sportsmanship? There are signs that cannot be ignored. The Americans were the candidates for the World Cup of 2022 and they lost.

“It is hatred not only by one person at UEFA but by the organisation of UEFA that has not accepted that I have been president since 1998. I forgive everyone but I won’t forget. “The English were the candidates for 2018 and they lost, so it was really the English media and the American movement.”

involved. ..There is an urgent need to mount a vigorous campaign, enlightenment campaign to support Buhari’s policies and programmers for the Nigerian masses. And it must start right away. The campaign must be right away to make the people aware that there is always a fierce class battle going on. I think one way that Nigerians can pay the price of progress is to be alert to their circumstances and their surroundings. Thank for your time. God bless you.
