US to ban corrupt government officials As part of measures to support the anti corruption stance of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, the United States is considering banning government officials indicted of soiling their hands in public tills, from entering its territory.

Other ways the U.S. said it would assist the present government in tackling sleaze, also include training, mentoring, advising investigators and prosecutors in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and other agencies involved in dealing with corruption.

MUSICIAN AND AN ACTRESS

I’m sure you will expect me to say that I hold board meetings on Mondays with my staff. Far from that, because the life of an entertainer is unpredictable. Our time and energy are channeled to the latest projects we embark on. This therefore makes my weekly schedules different. Being both a musician and an actress, my schedules are somewhat flexible to accommodate which side has more goings on at the moment. Having said this, I start my Mondays with prayers. Then I head to the gym. When I come back, I take my shower, after which I go to see some movie producers I have appointment with. When I’m done with that, I now face my rehearsals which can keep me busy till the evening. My Tuesdays are somehow similar to my Mondays. I start the day with prayers and exercise. Then I’m off to hold meeting with production crew and then pick some new scripts and go through them. Same with Monday and Tuesday, except that Wednesday is my shooting day, especially short films. Today is what I call my cinema-watching day. I get my mind set for the weekend by going to the cinemas to watch good movies. After, I hang out with friends, especially at open Mic Night As a musician, on Fridays, I do intensive rehearsals with my band. Later, I try to schedule meetings with my production crew for new projects. If I don’t have any event to attend, I try to keep myself busy with movies. I watch a lot of movies, including mine. After, I would appear at women’s empowerment programme; I do this often to empower women. It is my resting day. I go to church and come back to rest. I’m only out on Sundays if I have an important event to attend or if I’m invited to perform which, of course, is work for me.

President Muhammadu Buhari had ordered the dismantling of military checkpoints on the country’s roads nationwide, except at flashpoints in the North where insurgency is holding sway.

Buhari rejects proposal to buy N400m armoured cars President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected a proposal to purchase five new armoured Mercedes S-600 (V222) cars for his use at a cost of about N400m. Buhari was told of the proposal by the Permanent Secretary of the State House, Mr. Nebolisa Emodi at a briefing on Wednesday. Directing that the proposal to procure the cars be dropped, Buhari said there was no need for them since

the ones he inherited from President Jonathan were good enough for him. “I don’t need any new cars. The ones I’m using now are just fine,” a source at the briefing quoted the President as saying. President Buhari welcomed other initiatives presented by the Permanent Secretary to reduce the operating costs of the State House and strengthen its Finance and Accounts Internal Control Mechanisms.

Defiling the innocent:

Child rape cases on the rise

ecently, newspapers were awash with a story of a 33 year old man who had defiled his three year old daughter at their home in Lagos. Somehow, the case was thrown out of court for lack of evidence and the suspected rapist freed. This incident brought to an end the then fledgling marriage between the couple, who were divorced less than a year afterwards. Similar cases have made the headlines, some involving very small children and infants While it can be very difficult to acknowledge that sexual abuse of infants happens every day. Sexual abuse of children has become the subject of great community concern and the focus of many legislative and professional initiatives. Child sexual abuse is a form of child abuse that includes: sexual activity with a minor. A child cannot consent to any form of sexual activity, period.

Sexual abuse of children, public health issue?

President Buhari

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Activists lament rising incidences of child sexual abuse Just about a month ago, the three human rights groups raised the alarm over the increasing rate in child sexual abuse in the country and called for collaborative efforts to curb the menace. Secretary, Foundation for African Cultural Heritage (FACH), Mrs. Ifeyinwa Awagu, described child sexual abuse as a form of child abuse in which an adult used a child for sexual stimulation. Awagu said that the law did not provide adequate time to prosecute offenders. She said that lack of forensic evidence, inability of parents to allow their wards to testify and social stigma were the major constrains in prosecuting offenders. She also identified other constraints as lack of facilities for Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) tests. According to her, Lagos State has declared zero tolerance for sexual and child abuses. “Although, we do not have official national statistics on how many children have been raped or sexually abused. But the daily reports from the media should keep us on our toes and keep us aware that we have an epidemic on our hands. Whether we are related to the victims or not, we should all be actively involved in its condemnation and prevention. When we condemn sexual perversion in strong terms, the perpetrators become uncomfortable and keep off,” she said. Similarly, President, Society for Support and Welfare for the Under- Privileged, Mrs. Jessica Ndupu, said child sexual abuse had a lifetime effect on victims. Ndupu outlined some of the effects as severe distress, fear, shame, stigmatisation, discrimination and other physical and psychological health issues. “Child sexual abuse occurs all over the world. But the phenomenal growth over the years in Nigeria leaves much to be desired. “Do you know that up to one-third of adolescent girls report their first sexual experience as being forced? “Sadly enough, tradition and culture have prevented such cases from being appropriately addressed and ultimately taken seriously. Sexual abuse of children is a public health issue which has long term negative effects on the victims,’’ she said. Executive Director of Integrated Anti-Human Trafficking and Community Development Initiative (INTACOMAfrica), Mrs. Hope Okoye, identified communication and massive awareness as a major tool in eliminating child and sexual abuse. Okoye said that it was essential to sensitise market men and women on the need to be more informed and educate their children to prevent such ugly situations. According to her, it is better to prevent a happening than seek a cure for it. “Parents are primarily the custodians of the children.

They should help prevent the child from sexual abuse. “Due to recent awareness many Nigerians are now coming out of their shells to talk about the problem unlike in the past. “The situation has shown that the long silence about child sexual abuse has been broken and awareness was coming up unlike before. “Parents and guardians needs to educate both boys and girls about sex. “Some parents do not want to talk about sex education and this is a subject that needs to be addressed. “They have to teach them about issues on sexuality because these children are being exposed to different images through the internet, television and newspapers,’’ she said.

Controvery trails Sexual Offences Bill As part of efforts to address the issue, the National Assembly recently passed the Sexual Offenses bill, which curiously made it a highly punishable offense to engage in sex with a child of 12 or less among other controversial provisions. In this wise, the Lagos State Ministry of Justice called on President Muhammadu Buhari to review the Sexual Offences Bill before signing it into Law. Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Solicitor-General of the state, Lawal Pedro, said certain provisions in the 2014 Sexual Offences Bill passed by the National Assembly were discrepant. Spurred by a group of experts coordinated by the ministry, at the instance of the Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, Pedro said the bill, if not reviewed, could lead to an increase in the incidence of sexual abuses in Nigeria. “We find it compelling to bring to the fore certain provisions in the Bill, which are considered offensive, obnoxious and inconsistent. These provisions are likely to increase the incidence of sexual abuses in the country. “Section 7(5) of the proposed Bill says, ‘It is a defence to a charge of defilement of children if it is proved that such child deceived the accused person into believing he or she was over the age of 18 at the time of alleged commission of offence’. “This provision is inconsistent with the interest and welfare of children and is contrary to the Child’s Right Act 2003 and Child’s Rights Law of Lagos, 2007,” he said. He however added that the Bill, which said in Section 9 that any person who committed the offence of rape or defilement in association with others was guilty of gang rape, and was liable to imprisonment for life, would be problematic during prosecution. “The offence of rape, like murder, cannot be charged jointly because of the difficulty in proving that each individual committed the act. It must be charged separately in different counts. It is therefore suggested that this section be expunged from the bill. “The team also notes that the bill trivialises sexual offences in Nigeria by imposing smaller fines on offenders. Section 10(5) for instance provides the sum of N20,000 for the offence of indecent assault. The purpose of the punishment section is to serve as deterrent to others, so the fines should not be easily afforded by offenders,” he explained. Dangerous associations Findings reveal that 90 per cent of sexual abuse cases are perpetrated by someone the children know and trust. Professor Ibinabo Agiobu-Kemmer, Professor of Psychology and Head of Department of Psychology, University of Lagos and a Child Psychologist collaborates this claim. “The babies in crèche and nursery schools, teachers are CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Child sex abuse often used for ritual purposes Professor Ibinabo Agiobu-Kemmer, professor of Psychology and Head of Department of Psychology, University of Lagos and renowned child psychologist explains the changing trend in child sexual abuse Why do you think cases of child sexual abuse are so rampant these days? I have been doing research on this with some of my students, the first time I stumbled on it was when one of my undergraduate students decided to look at the incidence of child sexual abuse in local government areas of Lagos State and we looked at hospital records. We were very much surprised at the results of the findings in that research, we looked at cases that a child has been rushed to the hospital because a child has been damaged. One year olds, two year olds, three year olds being sexual assaulted. And when you ask who are the perpetrators … family members. We looked at three different local government areas that majorly would have varied in terms of their socioeconomic status. GRA in Lagos, middle income area and then one of the most densely populated areas for lower income. And we found that there was more likely to be child sexual abuse of the under five year old in the government reservation areas. There was a high incidence of abuse in the low income areas, because they are densely populated, some of them leave in the ‘face me, I face you’ and most of the perpetrators will be neighbours. Maybe when one of the children comes back from school and the neighbour says come and buys me something and gets the child. We have been doing a lot of research following up on that and trying to understand why. On one occasion, we sent masters students to go on internship. They went to the courts and the Ministry of Social Development trying to follow up on the cases of some perpetrators. The ministry gave them a list of perpetrators of child abuse that are supposed to have been put in prison. And so, the students went to the prison to interview those perpetrators to ask them why they did what they did, when they got to the prison, the names given to them by the Ministry of Social Development and the people they found in prison were totally different. So between the ministry and the prison, they have been let off the hook. Sometimes, it is the family members. The wife who the father abused the under aged child that would say please, don’t let it go further. And they want the world to know. The reason they know is because they had to go to the hospital to treat the damaged child. But when it starts getting to court and prison, they would say, please don’t complicate our family problem, let’s keep it in the family. More recently, one of our doctoral students who is working on it did a seminar on it. And one of the things that came up is that some people are doing this for ritual purposes even in the family. How would a father violate his own child or some relation or how would some neighbour violate an under aged child for rituals. To get what? It is such a complex society. Why won’t there be crisis in the National Assembly, do you know what those politicians did to get in there? You can’t do things like this and be normal. What kind of punitive measures can government give as deterrent? Because what we found out in most cases

Agiobu-Kemmer

like you said is that the culprit is let off the hook? Who is the government? The government is mostly made up of men. The man in charge, are you sure he is not raping with his own daughters at home. I am sorry to put it that way. We have a problem, you said government, the people that are supposed to protect the child are the ones violating. When you say they are doing it for ritual purposes, what is the purpose of ritual. How do people get into government in this country? Who is the government? The people that are throwing chairs on the selves that don’t mind to be seen on national television boxing and fighting? Who is the government? Is it not an open secret? Who patronises all this shrines they are discovering. Sometimes the mandate they give them is that go and sleep with a mad woman or go and sleep with a child so that you can get what you want. Are there decent people in government in Nigeria? So how do you want them to protect our values, ethics or morals? We have a problem on our hands in Nigeria. Some people feel parents to have to be blamed on the issue at hand There is so much exposure to the wrong kind of media. Underaged children have all this instruments in their hands, smart phones. They are in class and you think they are reading or calculating something. But if you move closer, you will see that they are watching

The Parents are not setting the boundaries” A recent National Demographic Health Survey, NDHS, reports reveal that over 35 per cent of adolescent in Nigeria have had their first sexual intercourse by age 15 and

the first encounter is forced. What Nigerian law says about child rape In 2003, the Federal Parliament passed a comprehensive ‘Child Rights Act, which prescribes age 18 as the minimum age of marriage, and prohibits intercourse – consensual or otherwise – with anyone below the age of 18. Under the law, offenders are liable to lifetime imprisonment. But the existence of the law is by itself is not enough of a deterrent. Not all Nigerian states have adopted it beCONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Some of them are at home. Parents are downstairs in another room. He is launched into the computer on Facebook or some other media. Parents are not checking or monitoring their children or don’t have time for their children as they should have or they are delegating or abdicating their responsibilities to others. Those who still want to keep the values are probably getting fewer and fewer. Also, as adults in the house, if one adult wants to correct the child so that we can maintain the value and what is right for their sake, the other one is contradicting and saying leave them alone, this a new world order, that is old school. The children don’t want to get conflicting messages. How do we get out of this logjam? How did we get into it? If we know how we got into it, we will know how to get out of it. Restore the family alter. Restore prayer time, sitting together and defend family values, defend scriptural values. It is sad to say but some of the other religions sometimes protect their morals and values more than so called Christians do. It is in church you will see the usher going up and down wearing mini skirt and nobody tells her you can’t dress like that and be collecting offering even during a communion service. But she left home, and the mother saw her. The mother herself, what is she wearing? How is she dressed? Young children dress in a way that makes them vulnerable. Young children sit down in a way, they open their legs, and nobody corrects them. When we were growing up, they tell you how to sit properly. Nobody does such things again. In the house, the father is sitting there; the daughter is opening her legs. And on the television they are both watching, all the suggestive movies are going on and they watching it and he does not tell her, go to bed or he himself should not be watching it. How do we correct it, in other words, I am saying you start from the home. What is happening to our families? Somebody must keep the home. We wake up in the morning; they don’t even see each other because you have be on the road by 4am. You come back again in the night at 11 pm; you are all tired and go straight to bed. There is no family life again. At the weekend, everybody is trying to go to the hair dresser, party etc what you could not do during the week to get ready again for the rat race. Nobody is paying attention to the babies. Children need somebody to pay attention to them. The babies in crèche and nursery schools, teachers are raping or defiling school pupils in the toilets of the schools; people that the children trust. What after-school-programme do you have for your children? They are hanging about the school premises. Children need boundaries, and they need parents to give them the boundaries. Nobody is setting the boundaries. The parents are not setting the boundaries, maybe because nobody set it for them. The churches are not setting boundaries and the teachers are disappointing us. Let us restore decency. We have guides like the Bible and Quran. Even when you say you don’t believe the Bible or the Quran, you have a witness in your own heart, it is called conscience. What is right or wrong? Don’t kill that conscience because of fame and fortune.

‘People must report rape cases’

Moziah

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 cause, for the Act to take effect in a state, it has to be “domesticated” by state parliaments. What this means is that in those states where the Child Rights Act has not been adopted (coincidentally all are to be found in the north, where the Penal Code operates), child marriages are still legally permissible, as is sex with minors on the grounds of marriage. Enforcement also remains a huge challenge. The police, which should have responsibility for arrests and prosecution, are themselves often implicated as perpetrators. A 2006 Amnesty International report accused the Nigerian police of not only failing to prosecute rapes, but also of “committing rape in many different circumstances, both on and off duty.” Even in the rare instance when child rape is prosecuted, the penalty is often inadequate. “The law is not strong enough to deter perpetrators”, Reverend Shem Enoch Hilary Moziah, President of Rescue Soul Evan-

gelical Mission International, an inter-denominational ministry, concurs. According to him, there have been a lot of cases of child rape of recent. To curb rape, people need to be educated on what steps to take if a child in any way is harassed by rapist. Many parents whose children fall victim to rape, some of them don’t actually know what to do. Some of them go to the Police and the case ends there. Enlightenment would make them know that one; there are human rights groups that handle such issues. As regards redress, I don’t think there is justice in this nation because the Police are as corrupt as the Judiciary. We have heard of several cases of rape which died right at the Police counter. The person is arrested, and at the end of the day, he is bailed and the case dies off. And the child that is raped is carrying that stigma and fear. And many victims have grown up like that. There is no justice in Nigeria as far as I am concerned. “We must also consider the psychological trauma that rape victims suffer. Many of them find it difficult in mar-

riage, especially if they are not properly counseled. As a pastor, I have counseled many rape victims over the years and I know how difficult it has been to correct their mind set. Child rape is barbaric and must be discouraged in our society. The senate or House of Representatives should pass a law for stiffer punishment for rape. Until this is done, rapists will not desist from their evil act”. Many victims and family members prefer to keep the issue under wraps because of the stigma accompanied by it. There are a wide variety of reasons that range from mistrust of the police and the lack of a common understanding of what constitutes rape to fear of the consequences of reporting abuse. Often the child victims cannot testify. Reverend Mozia further said that it is important for students to report rape cases and other forms of molestation to the appropriate authorities and appealed to the public to refrain from stigmatising of the abused children so that they can speak out on such issues. He called for stringent measures against teachers who indulged in rape in schools saying “any teacher who violates a child should be sentenced to life imprisonment”. Children should be safe on route to and in school and there must be clear anti bullying policies and confidential systems for reporting and addressing any form of abuse or violence in all public schools. Anyone who is convicted for rape is liable to life imprisonment, so says the Child Rights Law in Nigeria (31(2). Enacted by the Federal Government in May 2003, the CRL has been replicated by over 13 states in the federation. But who is enforcing the law? Women and girls continue to be molested, raped, and trafficked for sexual exploitation. Survivors are frustrated, families are ashamed, and police officers that ought to enforce the law are fast competing for the prize for the worst rapists of the year, as recent reported cases have revealed. According to National Coordinator of the Global Fund for Women Grantees Network, GFWGN, and President of Model Mission of Assistance in Africa (Momi Africa), Theresa Akumadu, besides being direct offenders, police officers often let other abusers and rapists off the hook under the excuse of culture, especially where the offenders are family members or relatives. These excuses and laxities create loopholes for further abuse and further impunity, as abusers go on a merry-go-round. Enacting laws are not enough; what is more important is the enforcement of the law to protect those it is supposed to protect. More focus needs to be on actions to create the will and wherewithal to seek and obtain justice.

Vatican sex abuse trial halted as ex-archbishop falls ill

he trial of a former archbishop charged with child sex offences has been adjourned after the defendant fell ill hours before he was due to appear in court at the Vatican.

Jozef Wesolowski, 66, is accused of paying for sex with children in the Dominican Republic from 2008-2013. He is being treated in intensive care for an unspecified illness. Wesolowski is the first high-ranking Catholic to stand trial in the Vatican on sex abuse charges. Wesolowski, who is originally from Poland, had been recalled from his role as the Vatican’s envoy to the Dominican Republic in 2013 after allegations surfaced accusing him of abusing boys there. The 66-year-old former Polish archbishop was “apostolic nuncio”, or Vatican ambassador, in Santo Domingo for five years and was recalled to Rome in 2013 after local media accused him of paying boys to perform sexual acts. The pope ordered a criminal investigation and he was arrested last September and detained in the Vatican -- the first arrest in the tiny city state related to pedophilia charges. After his arrest, Vatican inspectors found child pornographic material on his computer. Wesolowski has already been defrocked by a Vatican tribunal, a rare occurrence and a sign of how seriously the church has taken the accusations against him. He faces up to eight years in jail if found guilty of abusing a minor and two years for possession of child pornography. Such a sentence would almost certainly be served in Italy rather than the Vatican.

Officials have also suggested he could be extradited to the Dominican Republic or Poland. Looking to restore the credibility of the Roman Catholic Church following a wave of sexual scandals around the world, Francis ruled in 2013 that the Vatican’s criminal code could be applied to its employees wherever they lived. In June, he also approved the creation of an unprecedented Vatican tribunal to judge bishops accused of covering up or failing to prevent sexual abuse of minors. While groups representing victims of priestly abuse have welcomed the Wesolowski trial, they have said much more needs to be done to clean up the Church and root out wrongdoers. One group, BishopAccountability.org, says 79 bishops have been accused publicly of sexual wrongdoing, and only four have been defrocked. The pope will not be in the Vatican when Wesolowski’s trial opens. He is visiting three South American countries and has taken much of the Vatican media pack with him. “It’s very important that they do this right and I’m pretty sure that the date was chosen so that there wasn’t a big media circus surrounding day one of the trial,” said Robert Mickens, editor-in-chief of the Catholic magazine “Global Pulse”. A Vatican official said yesterday’s hearing was expected to be taken up by procedural matters, adding that the trial was likely to continue for several months.

well as bearing losses are critical,’’ noting that discipline alone is not sufficient. The President asserted that “the core of success in business is integrity, honesty and trust in the conduct of business,” adding that, “credit worthiness is important in business, because when trust fails every other thing fails”. Osinbajo stressed that one cannot be a successful entrepreneur by cutting corners. “The payment of taxes and other obligations, be it moral or civic, for the purpose of develop-

ment of the economy, for building infrastructure and other services are all important in business,’ he stated. He explained further that the payment of taxes is a matter of self-interest not just civic duty”, he said. The President expressed optimism that Africa now stands at the face of greatness after many years of being regarded as “the dark continent,” recording highest figures in poverty poor healthcare, illiteracy, poor human development. He observed that the world today sees Africa as the

next frontier for international business, a hub for development and growth of local and global enterprises. Buhari commended Elumelu, the founder of the programme for “investing substantially in the ideas and vision of many young Nigerians and Africans, and helping to shape the future of the continent by building confidence in the young men and women to direct the success in the coming years.” He was also excited that the next generation of Africans has learned

early the value of working together. Other speakers at the Boot Camp included the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, and the Prime Minister of Republic of Benin, Mr. Lionel Zinsou. In his remarks, Zinsou commended the Tony Elumelu Foundation for organising the Boot Camp programme that brought together 1,000 young entrepreneurs from several African countries. The Chancellor of the Covenant University, Bishop David Oyedepo was also in attendance at the event.

Engage in energy theft, risk 21years jail term – NSCDC boss BOLADALE BAMIGBOLA OSOGBO

sun state command of Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has restated its commitment to protect public utilities in the state, just as it warned those engaging in energy theft that anyone caught and convicted may be jailed for 21 years.

The command also paraded six suspects alleged to have engaged in energy theft in Osogbo, the state capital. The suspects, apprehended in different parts of the state capital, according to the the state commandant of the NSCDC, Mr. Tajudeen Balogun were caught engaging in energy theft, illegal connections and meter bypassing, among other offences.

The men, who were paraded during the stakeholders meeting, held at the state headquarters of the command in Osogbo with officials of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, IBEDC, community leaders and other stakeholders in the energy sector in the state, the NSCDC boss said will be prosecuted very soon to serve as deterrent. Addressing the meeting, the NSCDC boss, disclosed that activities of those engaging in energy theft was tantamount to economic sabotage, assuring that “NSCDC will not tolerate the act. “It is one of our functions to make sure that we protect all critical infrastructure and national assets and protection of power generation, transmission and distribution

all fall within the purview of our work”. Balogun further explained: “these people that are involved in illegal connection of power in their various areas will be severely dealt with and will be prosecuted accordingly. “If you are not ready to pay for power supply, don’t get involved in any illegal connection. If you are caught, you might be imprisoned for quite a long time, 21 years or there about.” Balogun advised members of the public to avoid getting involved in theft and always report anyone found tampering with electrical installations in their neighbourhoods to the corps for appropriate sanctions. In their separate remarks, the Regional Com-

mercial Manager, IBEDC, Mr Yinka Oyinloye, and the representative of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, Mr Niyi Oladele, stressed that the economy of the nation depends largely on the power sector, adding that IBEDC as a private company needs money to run its operations and to pay back loans got from banks. Oyinloye, who harped on the menace of energy theft and vandalisation as major constraints militating against the quest to provide regular electricity supply, said drastic steps must be taken to discourage people from stealing energy. All stakeholders however resolved to collaborate to bring about the needed change in the sector.

he Borno State Police Command said that two suspected Boko Haram suicide bombers in a tricycle on Saturday attacked the Borno Express Terminus Motor Park by detonating their Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), and killed two passersby with the injuring of three others at about 7.15am. The injured ones, according to police authorities, has been evacuated by National Emergency Management Agency and other rescue teams to hospital for treatment, while the bodies of victims, were deposited at hospital morgue for identification, before release for burial. Confirming yesterday’s incident, the Police Commissioner, Mr. Aderemi Opadokun in a text message to our correspondent said: “There was an IED explosion at about 0700 hrs today by the Welcome to Maiduguri Gate; and near the office of the State Department of Security Services (SSS) and El-Kanemi Theological College, Maiduguri.” He said the suspects had wanted to target the Borno Express Motor Park, which

has high peak of travelers between the early morning hours of 7am-10am daily. On the bomb scare at Baga road, Opadukun however said: “In BEWAC areas along Baga road; there was a bomb scare at about 9am this morning; but it was discovered to be no explosive by our EOD mine unit. Investigation by the police is already in progress.” Meanwhile scores of suspected terrorists were feared dead when they clashed with newly deployed troops along the Damaturu-Maiduguri road on yesterday morning. The incident according to sources took place between Ngamdu- MainokJakana villages which is about 50km drive to Maiduguri, the state capital. The source said, the terrorists in a convoy of three white -in- colour Hilux Vehicles had earlier barricaded the road where they blocked two motorists including a truck which they suspected were conveying foodstuff to Maiduguri, but luck run out of them as troops with support from the Jakana villagers immediately swung into action and killed some of the terrorists, dislodged most of them before they set ablaze two hilux vehicles

Niger Delta group condemns multiple explosions at Agip facility OSAHON JULIUS YENAGOA

he Niger Delta Renaissance Movement (NDRM) yesterday condemn in very strong terms the multiple explosions at the multi-million naira Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) oil facility at Ebeocha oil field in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Council of Rivers State. Preliminary investigations by our members indicated that the multiple explosions which were a result of dynamite detonation were coordinated by some elements from some contracting firms that are familiar with the internal workings of the oil facility. In statement circulated in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State and signed by its Chairman, Gabriel Elliot and Secretary, Ebiri Emanuel, Secretary, respectively, the group stated that they considered it as clear case of sabotage with the sole aim to destroy the multimillion naira facility and trigger an inferno which would consume lives and

properties and thereby pitched the oil communities against Agip. The statement reads, “Those who are behind this incident want to create a situation of insecurity in the area which would ultimately affect exploitation and exploration activities of Agip and hinder its development of its host communities. Cases of sabotage against the economic interest of the country abounds in the Niger Delta and it is high time the Federal Government and the security agencies move to stem this tide before criminal elements destroyed the country’s oil investment. As a group we worried that, days after this explosion, security agencies are yet to arrest anybody remotely or directly connected to the incident. We consider this unacceptable and therefore demand a full scale investigation and arrest of the perpetrators no matter how highly placed to make them face the full wrath of the law for working against the economic interest of the country.”

…scores of terrorists killed in clash with troops with destruction of the other white new brand hilux belonging to the terrorists. The source added that at about 12noon, a detached group of military troops were seen at the scene with over four armoured personnel Carriers evacuating some corpses and the injured to Maiduguri, but insisted that he cannot know whether any of the troops had a casualty during the

deadly clash that lasted for about two hours. “I can confidentially tell you that the busy Maiduguri-Damaturu road had a deadly attack between insurgents and troops, which I believe many of the terrorists were killed with destruction of three of their vehicles”, the source stated. A police officer stationed in one of the villagers on the said highway informed

our reporter that travellers are being asked to make a u-turn as the terrorists had taken over the road between Benisheik (a town 85km away from Maiduguri) and Ngamdu (35km away from Damaturu. The officer, who does not want to mention his name because it is not part of his job to speak to the press, said the terrorists had attacked Ngamdu village of

Benesheikh, the council headquarters of Kaga Local Government Area and killed ten persons there on Friday night. “It may be the same group of terrorists that attempted to attack Benesheikh on Friday but were repelled by troops that were crossing the main road before they clash with the troops on Saturday morning”. The police source stated.

Niger impose curfew after violent clash claim four lives PRISCILLA DENNIS MINNA

iger State government has imposed a 6 hour curfew on Paiko town, Paikoro Local Government Area, this was due to a violent tribal clash that broke out between the natives (Gbagis) and the Hausa. The incident resulted in the death of four persons over leadership control of the township central mosque that started on Wednesday. It would be recalled about three months ago, crisis between the two groups came to fore when the deputy Chief Imam (Na’ibi) of the town died and the natives demanded to occupy the vacant office.

They insisted that they have many of their own people that are knowledgeable in Islamic theology and jurisprudence and qualified to occupy the vacant Na’ibi office. The was not well taken by the Hausas that are said to be in strong control of the leadership of the Mosque. The groups, it was learnt, recently took the issue before the state Governor, Alh. Abubakar Sani Bello who directed them to the Emir of Minna, Alhaji Faruoq Bahago for the matter to be resolved peacefully. But on Wednesday, the two groups were engaged in a violent clash resulting in the death of two persons. And the crisis further deepened on Friday when

some youth in the town challenged and demanded the change of the leadership of the mosque, as they rejected the substantive Chief Imam also an Hausa man. This led to another violent clash that left a young man and 8 others injured, while the fourth person died yesterday morning due to injuries he sustained. Though, it was learnt the clash was as a result of one Gbagyi youth that refused to be disarmed before entering the town due to the tension in the town. The State Government in a press statement declared curfew on the area in order to prevent further on Saturday from 10pm to 4am until further notice. The statement by the

Chief Press Secretary to the State governor, Ibraheem Dooba, said the action was to keep the peace of the town and warned that anybody who violates the order would face appropriate consequences for their infraction. The statement urges them to be law abiding, eschew violence and demonstrate the abiding peace for which Niger State is renowned. The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Baba Elkan, an Assistant Superintendent of Police when contacted said only one life was lost and eight persons injured in the clash adding that peace has since returned to the town and the command is now after the masterminds of the crisis.

Gunmen assassinate Enugu monarch, others DENNIS AGBO ENUGU

he traditional ruler of Isienu Amofu, Nkerefi community in Nkanu East local government area of Enugu state, Igwe Peter Onuoha has been assassinated by gunmen. Also brutally murdered was a native identified as Daniel Ogbu alias Chocho and two others. The other two victims are a couple identified as Ejike Udeme Uzor and his wife, Evelyn Udeme Uzor. Apart from bullet wounds, the deceased persons had several machete cuts on thier bodies. The Enugu State Command of the Nigeria Police

Force in a quick reaction described the killing of the traditional ruler of Nkerefi and three others by yet to be identified gunmen as unfortunate. The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Ebere Amaraizu vowed that police would bring perpetrators to book. He said that the command was working relentlessly to ensure that those behind the alleged murder awer unmasked and brought to book. The PPRO said that full scale investigations have commenced into the incident as dead bodies of the deceased persons have been deposited at Eastern Nigeria medical center

Enugu and General Hospital Agbani respectively. He said that there has been increase security surveillance in the area to avoid escalation of violence and further breakdown of law and order and to unmask the perpetrators. Sources from the community told journalists in Enugu that some other natives who were reportedly wounded by the gunmen, who invaded the community under the cover of darkness, are receiving treatment at the Catholic Church-owned, Annunciation Specialists Hospital, Emene Enugu. They said that the residents of the community were thrown into confu-

sion on Friday night when the noise of the sporadic shooting by the gunmen rent the air. Those residing near the palace of the royal father were said to have fled their homes on hearing the sound of the guns but some unlucky ones were hit by the flying bullets. At the end of the shooting, the fleeing natives returned only to discover that their traditional ruler, Igwe Onuoha and one Chocho had been shot dead. The personal assistant to the royal father identified as Vincent, was reportedly shot while fleeing the palace but he survived the attack. Within the neighbourhood, it was further gath-

ered, a man and his wife said to be a nurse, were also found dead on account of gunshot wounds they sustained. The reason for the attack could not be immediately ascertained but sources said the royal father and some youths in the community had disagreed over a suspicious spiritual sacrifice he made in the community sometime last year. The source said: “Last year, Igwe and youths in the village had problem when they (youths) accused the monarch of retarding the progress of the community through fetish practices but the Igwe had reportedly told them that the sacrifice he did was purely for his protection and that of

his family members and not on behalf of the entire community. “Angered by the development, the youths were said to have forcefully uprooted the royal father’s signboard to express their disloyalty but the community leaders condemned the act and threatened to fish out and discipline the youths involved. Some of the culprits ran out of the community since then but it is not clear for now if the exiled youths are responsible for this bloodbath.” Igwe Onuoha, the Eze Na Chi 1, was the Managing Director of Posdonal Nigeria Limited and Secretary of Nkanu East Traditional Rulers Council.

CAN tasks Muslims, Nigerians over national unity ABDULGAFAR OLADIMEJI KANO

hristian Association of Nigeria, Kano State chapter has enjoined Nigerians to come to terms with the reality of the challenges confronting the country by offering sacrifices to safeguard the unity of the country. The Chairman Kano CAN, Bishop Ransome Bello, in a statement issued and signed by him, said the

body of Christians in Kano is felicitating with their Muslim brothers by wishing them a happy Eid Fitri in advance. “We call on all our political leaders to demonstrate the spirit of sacrifice at this time that the Nation is going through some financial challenges. “The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kano, wish the entire Muslim family a blessed Ramadan and Sallah celebration. “The month signifies

self denial, repentance and a display of brotherly love to our neighbours. May this period remind us of the task to build this state and country in peace and unity. May we enjoy the peace that comes through unity”, Bello said He used the medium to dispel ongoing rumour that the state government under the leadership of Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has introduced Sunday sanitation exercises to obstruct Christians from

performing their religious rites. He said “We use this medium to correct an impression, which has gone across the country which implies that the Kano State Goverment has extended the sanitation to Sunday. This is not true. The Governor of Kano State, His Excellency, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, in a brief meeting with CAN leadership explained that there are no movement restrictions of any kind on Sundays.

Cleric warns against same sex marriage RICHARD NDOMA ]CALABAR

ormer Chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria in Cross River States, Bishop Emmah Gospel Isong has warned Nigerians against

same sex marriage saying it is against the will of God. Isong said there was no basis for people of same sex to get married to each other when ordinarily they ought to be married to opposite sex.

He described same sex marriage as devilish and an evil practice, which should not be accepted by Christians if they are true children of God and stressed that such marriages cannot lead to procreation. “Come to think of it,

why would any man conceive the idea of getting married to a fellow man or a woman get married to another fellow woman? If a thing of such happens, who would be the husband and who among the two would be the wife.

he Senate and the House of Representatives have resolved to work with a reconciled and united labour movement to improve the welfare of all Nigerians. Writing in two different letters, the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of House of Representatives, Right Honourable Yakubu Dogara, NASS lauded the impact of labour’s struggles and sacrifices that visibly improved the lives of Nigerian workers and citizens in the past and expressed the readiness to work again with a united labour. The two letters were received in reply to two congratulatory letters earlier sent by the General Secretary of National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, NUTGTWN, and Deputy President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Issa Aremu, which congratulated the NASS leaders’ victory on behalf of labour. In the first letter, Chief of Staff to the Senate President Senator Isa Galaudu signed on behalf of Saraki while Speaker Dogara personally signed the second letter. Saraki’s letter invited labour leaders “to pray for and support the National Assembly as it strives to make laws that will impact

positively on the polity and produce the desired change that Nigerians are yearning for.” “With your support, be assured that he will become even more dedicated to this service to the nation.” In the other letter, Hon Dogara said his victory “is a clear response to the aspirations of our legislators and the entire people of Nigeria for enhanced standard of living through quality legislations for the development of the country in a secure environment.” The NUTGTWN scribe had tasked the Federal Government with the revival of textile industry as part of President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s strategy for re-industrialisation and job creation. “All Nigerians look forward to progressive legislations for development, enhanced productivity, protection of domestic industries, ensuring dignity of labour, creation of jobs and decent wage and freedom of association in the new National Assembly,” the letters demanded. NUTGTWN particularly advised President Buhari against removing petroleum subsidy now or further devaluating the naira and demanded a re-visitation of the ban that the Nigeria Customs and Excise lifted last week on textile materials, which, it argued, was capable of killing the textile industry.

rom the day of the inauguration of the new administration to date, the Boko Haram terrorist group has killed over 400 hundred Nigerians. In one week alonethat is between last Monday and yesterday- the group, in its clandestine and cowardly manner, murdered 300 people. The alarming and sad thing about it is that, the terrorists have not only struck at places hitherto considered cleared of the terror operations, such as Kaduna and Plateau states, but have also demystified the pristine military presence in the Northeast and undercut the stellar performances of the gallant armed forces in their bid to rid Nigeria of the inglorious bastards. What can be more disturbing is the fact that the group has gone back to its crude old ways of detonating bombs and using human mines at gatherings where they are least expected to operate. Between 2011 and 2013, Boko Haram was infamous for using young or mid-age suicide bombers as well as planting of explosive devices at religious centres, market places, bus stations, and the likes. But by late 2013, the group, with their cult figure and octopoidal Shekau (the man who had been “killed” thrice and yet “resurrected” on each occasion reversed from this guerilla or unconventional method after gathering more momentum and strength and having overpowered the then demotivated and ill-equipped military, and staged a full-blown assault on Nigeria’s territorial integrity, displacing villages, towns, police and army barracks as well as whole local

n Tuesday, the 30th July, 2015,I was privileged to appear on a live Radio Programme on Kiss FM in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory. In the course of the one hour interactive programme,a caller was elated when he recalled his experience when he travelled abroad and was told he could exchange his Nigerian drivers license as a valid permit within his one month stay. This is in line with the recipocrisy which we now have with severally countries in the European Union and most states in the United States of America which recognizes our drivers licence because of its standard which is comparable with any in the world. It is about four years since the Federal Road Safety Commission commenced the new licensing regime in line with the pledge by the Management of the Commission to restore the integrity of the system. Recall that the new motor vehicle administration regime remains a necessity since 1990 when it was imperative to harmonize and unify all existing modes of licensing of drivers and vehicle registration. The scheme set out to address plethora of safety, secuty enforcement challenges such as absence of database on vehicles owners and enhanced capacity for enforcement of traffic rules and regulations. When the new regime took effect on 1 march, 2015 critics battered the agency, questioning the rationale for the introduction. There is no doubt that the scheme suffered some initial hiccups especially with respect to the fewer centers that were avail-

This Boko Haram again! governments. These places were annexed by the group and literally “severed” from the rest of Nigeria and became what was known by 2014 up to early 2015 as the Islamic Caliphate. Having killed a former Civil War hero, General Mamman Shuwa and sacked the homes and towns of some powerful citizens from the Northeast, including that of the current Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Alex Badeh, Boko Haram went on a murderous rampage, pushing their luck further down, to such places as Benue, Kogi, Niger and even Southeast (with an attempt to bomb a church in Owerri, Imo State). The group claimed responsibility for any major disaster and in one of their most unforgettable ventures, over three hundred school girls of Chibok town were rounded up in the dead hours, captured and taken through a long course and smuggled out like invincible pins out of any known human habitation and probably out of Nigeria. Boko Haram was literally an alternative government, and a cruel and a more effective one at that. It was that bad! The government seemed to have exhausted all options as Nigeria was boldly placed in a disgraceful part of the global map. The past administration ran out of luck as world powers refused to sell arms to it or continue in the strategic partnership to combat the terrorist group. Those countries alleged complicity of Nigerian military leaders in the leakage of intelligence reports to Boko Haram, a development that posed grave threats of exposure of western military intelligence and its mode of operation. It was feared, and reasonably so, that sophisticated western arms would fall into the hands of the terrorists, in the same manner that smart intelligence reports fell into their ears. So, to South Africa did Nigeria head, and the outcome was a brutal disgrace to the latter as covert military transactions were not only unduly and embarrassingly exposed, but were also made to seem like an illegal and fraudulent attempt to

smuggle arms out of South Africa. The Nigerian authorities had planned to fail in that venture as they had assembled a former insurgent and some other questionable characters to seal the covert arms deals on its behalf. They had also used the aircraft of a locally and internationally acclaimed pastor to convey the funny elements in the deal. It was indeed a combination of paradoxes that made the anti-terror and counterterror war laughable. Well, the administration finally geared up from the eve of the elections in a last-minute struggle to gain acceptability and warm itself into the hearts of stone-cold and resolute Nigerians that sought an outright change of the status quo. Majority of Nigerians looked up to a General Buhari administration, which was believed to be the right thing for a capitulating giant. Buhari had seen and put down bitter insurgencies in the past. When the chips were down and the country was heading to an “efulefu” junction in the 1980s, it was General Buhari that came with the good intention of saving the day. He did save it, but regrettably not in the precise manner many Nigerians would have wanted it. It was expected that Buhari would know how to tackle insurgents, having exactly dealt with Islamists in the same Borno State, which then had Yobe, as part of it. But interestingly, the tides have changed- Islamist terrorists now use improvised explosive devices, suicide bombers and other sophisticated materials, which were not in vogue in the 1980s. The colour, context, texture and character of insurgency have changed in the 21st century. Even the philosophy of war has changed. Today, Islamists have a huge and wide network of collaborations and operations and the knowledge, intelligence, weapons and software materials sharing of terrorists have gone beyond “stop and search” or a cordon, encircle and mop up approach. The intelligence, knowledge and materials sharing of governments must not only be a core focus, but they should also be upped to

beat or outsmart that of the terrorists. The Buhari administration must therefore be commended for the immediate approach of stepping up collaborations with the immediate neighbours. The government deserves plaudits for also going beyond the immediate borders by also networking with and committing to sharing soft and hardwares with other African countries and bigger powers. That is the way to go in order to outsmart the capacity of the 21st century terrorists. The retired General has brought his expertise to bear in this direction, just as he did by asking the Command Centre of the counter-terror operations to move to the centre of operations. It is tactical to demotivate, deter and smash the terrorists. However, in view of the sophisticated nature of terror activities and limitations of military confrontation with terrorists, the Buhari administration must understand that there is need to operate within and dare to overcome these limits, by doing little extra to change the tides. Under no circumstances should the Buhari administration mention, contemplate or offer negotiation with Boko Haram. One of the steps that practically killed Jonathan’s administration was the dialogue platform it pursued and its clueless manner of handling the group. A General should know better that negotiating with terrorists is not only mark of weakness, but also another way of motivating the enemy and giving him a sense of importance. Dialogue or negotiation with Boko Haram MUST NEVER be contemplated or mentioned again. It deflates the resolve to fight and shortchanges the reputation of this administration as the one that would bring an end to Boko Haram.

Motorist and the new drivers licence able and that could not cope with the pressure caused more by the eagerness on the part pf motorists and the deadline that was set for a change over to the new regime. There was also the problem caused by slow and interrupted network

It is over four years now and I know that more centers have been opened and network improved but how really have we fared? For this week, I intend to run commentary made by over 226 driver’s license applicants between April 15 and July 4, 2015 on the Commissions process and procedure on the scheme. This write-up is also coming on the heels of the discovery that despite complaints, motorists rarely come up to pick up their permanent drivers licence .In fact the figure for the Federal Capital Territory is put at over 13,000.It is also in keeping with the FRSC Corporate strategic goals for 2015 which seeks to improve stakeholder consultation and road use education. This prompted the Commission in January 2015, to gauge our performances and service delivery by opening an applicant’s comments book in the various drivers license centers (DLC) in the Federal Capital Territory. So far, there are a total of comments from a cross section which includes clergy men, distinguished lawmakers, professionals and other Nigerians. I have chosen to take the backseat while these distinguished publics of the Commission air their views. I have been a customer service person in various private sector organizations. I have also used services of public sector organizations. What I have witnessed here today is best described as world class customer service coming from a public sector organization- MOSADOLUWA AYODEJI ADEBIYI. The last time I was at the FRSC was five (5) years ago. On my return today I was amazed

by the level of improvement both on the human and material development. The technology with which they offer services is superb – SEN. LAWAL SHUAIBU. The staff are dedicated and interested in their job. I am highly glad to see staff that is serious with job. They should be encouraged and motivated to continue with the good work well done - ENGR. BELLO GACHI ISSA The process is fantastic with excellent staff. Highly disciplined and quite efficient. I am impressed with the FRSC – WAZIRI LAISU I appreciate the business-like manner in which the officers discharge their functions. More grease to your elbow- ABDULLAHI A. YOLA (SOLICITOR-GENERAL OF THE FEDREATION) The process is orderly and the system in good state. NOTE: More systems will be required to meet up the demands and the commission may look into decentralizing the process and with time get mobile registration units ENGR. TOM OMEJE The FRSC services are more enjoyable now; thank God we are removed from the hand of cheaters who parade to give us fake diving license. Please extend the banking services into this building for faster services. God keep and protect FRSC - M. A.SAMBE (MRS) Coming to the Federal Headquarter has been a good experience as the lecture given by the head of department has been very helpful and made me realize some of the things I would not have known about using road - PEGGY ORLU (MRS) I want to commend the services of this commission. They are trying. There is room for improvement if more equipment is on ground; I appreciate their quality service - PST. (MRS) BOLU AWOYENGBO The personnel/

Officers of the unit are doing everything possible to cope with an over-whelming situation. More capturing points/equipment will aid this work. The personnel effort and the HOD is recognized and appreciated – F.O. ADESIDA (AMB). The lecture was highly educative and entertaining. It acquaint the driver the necessary safety rules and regulation regarding the road. I urge the Corps to keep it up – ADAM BUBA. My experience was okay but be improved upon. I will recommend that the number of computer systems used for capturing be increased for improved service delivery. Well done FRSC – EZERIBE CHIDINMA The entire exercise was smooth and seamless. I comment the reliability of the technical platform and the commitment of the FRSC to deliver great service to citizens – C. P. EMMANUEL OJULEWU I am quite impressed with the system and the organization of the process. The Commission has tremendously improved the process and people are attended to as they come. There is even a lecture section. Keep it up – ARC. NJOKU E.I.C There is need to speed up process and reduce congestion and waiting. Program is laudable – HON. L.D ADEH The process is cumbersome but I believe we will get right someday. Kudos to Mr. OseniELABOR G.H I really appreciate the way the staff attended to me. Although, the capturing took some time before my name could “drop” in the system-three weeks precisely .the outcome is laudable because the issue of fake drivers’ license is out of it – A. I EGBUKU

Controlling high weight gain and obesity TITILOPE MORAKINYO

eing overweight or obese are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases; it is associated with noncommunicable diseases (NCDS) like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. At an individual level, obesity is as a result of the combination of excessive food energy intake and a lack of physical activity. Other causes include inactivity, pregnancy, and lack of sleep, genetics, medical reasons, or psychiatric illness. According to research carried out in Nigeria in the past, over a quarter of the population is obese. Facing a double burden of disease, they continue to deal with the problems of infectious disease and under-nutrition, they are also experiencing a rapid upsurge in chronic disease risk factors Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. The health body explained that “in 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight”, adding that “of these, over 600 million were obese.” Overweight and obesity are both labels for ranges of weight that are greater than what is generally considered healthy for a given height. The terms also identify ranges of weight that have been shown to increase the likelihood of certain diseases and other health problems. Furthermore, an early study on obesity in Nigeria defines the prevalence of obesity among a sample of adult Nigerians living in a part of the country. The results showed that the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 21.4 per cent in males, with 17.2 per cent of them being overweight and 4.2 per cent being obese; and 23.5 per cent in females. The highest incidence of overweight and obesity were found in the 35-44 years age group. The conclusion is that obesity, which was previously thought to be infrequent in Africans, is rising in frequency. Overweight and obesity and its associated health problems have a significant economic impact on health systems, the medical costs associated with overweight and obesity have both direct and indirect costs - direct medical costs may include preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services related to obesity, while indirect costs relate to loss of income from decreased productivity, restricted activity, absenteeism, and bed days and the income lost by premature death.

In an interview with Sunday Mirror, a medical practitioner with Bishop Awe Hospital, Abaranje, Lagos, Dr Olaiya Awe, explains on the risk and health implication on a sufferer which includes cancers of the endometrial, breast, and colon, hypertension high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, high total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides, stroke, liver and gallbladder disease, sleep apnea and respiratory problems, osteoarthritis (a degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint) and gynecological problems which includes abnormal menses, infertility. However, these conditions can cause or contribute to premature death and substantial disability. He said weight gain usually happens over time, while most people know when they’ve gained weight. Some of the signs of overweight or obesity include clothes feeling tight and needing a larger size, the scale showing that one have gained weight, having extra fat around the waist, and a higher than normal body mass index and waist circumference. He, however, said that the causes of obesity include genetics. “A person is more likely to develop obesity if one or both parents are obese. Genetics also affect hormones

Tanzanian nurse in self-quarantine after serving in Liberia A Tanzanian nurse, Ms Loveness Isojick, 28, who, has just returned home after taking part in the post-Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) recovery programme in the affected West African countries has placed herself under 21-day quarantine. The staff of Korogwe District Hospital in the eastern coastal region of Tanga, has been staying in a hotel room since her arrival from Monrovia, Liberia. Isojick feared that joining her family and shaking hands with relatives and

friends could put many Tanzanians at risk of infection with the EVD, in case she carried the virus, local media have reported. “One person can infect six others. I might be putting my family and the entire nation at risk if I ignore this precaution,” Isojick said. She had previously worked in Sierra Leone before going to Liberia for the post-Ebola programmes. “I know I haven’t handled patients directly this time but being quarantined for at least 21 days is a standard precau-

tion for anyone who has been working in Ebola camps in West Africa. “The organisation that sponsored my programme in Liberia has asked me to monitor my temperature and report to them in case the Ministry of Health does not have the necessary measures in place,” she said. According to the nurse, her sponsors for the trip to the Ebola-affected countries promised to evacuate her immediately from Tanzania in case she developed Ebolalike symptoms.

involved in fat regulation. Also overeating leads to weight gain, especially if the diet is high in fat. Foods high in fat or sugar such as junks, fried food, and sweets have high energy density. A diet high in simple carbohydrates, as the role of carbohydrates in weight gain is not clear. Carbohydrates increase blood glucose levels, which in turn stimulate insulin release by the pancreas, and insulin promotes the growth of fat tissue and can cause weight gain. Some scientists believe that simple carbohydrates sugars, fructose, desserts, soft drinks, beer, wine, etc. contribute to weight gain because they are more rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream than complex carbohydrates and thus cause a more pronounced insulin release after meals than complex carbohydrates”. The medics explained that following a healthy lifestyle can help prevent overweight and obesity as the lifestyle habits begin during childhood. “Parents and families should encourage their children to make healthy choices, such as following a healthy diet and being physically active. Follow a healthy eating plan, make healthy food choices, keep your calorie needs and your family’s calorie needs in mind, and focus on the balance of energy, Focus on portion size; children’s portion sizes should be smaller than those for adults. Be active. Make personal and family time active. Find activities that everyone will enjoy. Such as go for a brisk walk, bike or rollerblade, or train together for a walk or run. Reduce screen time limit the use of TVs, computers, DVDs, and videogames because they limit time for physical activity. Health experts recommend two hours or less a day of screen time that’s not work- or homework-related. Keep track of your weight, body mass index, and waist circumference. Also, keep track of your children’s growth”, he urged.

HEALTH NEWS

Cuba’s Ebola response thrills UN envoy United Nations Special Envoy on Ebola, David Nabarro, on Friday , commended Cuba’s response to the Ebola crisis in West Africa. He said at a news conference during a two- day International Ebola Recovery Conference, in New York, that Cuba was one of the first nations that responded to the request by the UN Secretary-General for help. Nabarro said Cuba contributed more than 250 personnel who were posted to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra

Leone, the three worst affected countries in the Ebola crisis. He said Cuba had sought to place itself at the forefront of the international response to the Ebola epidemic, sending 165 doctors and nurses to Sierra Leone to combat the disease. Nabarro said he had personally been to Cuba to convey his thanks for the Caribbean country’s support. “I went to Havana and spoke with President Raul Castro about this Cuban re-

sponse. ‘I just told him how personally impressed and grateful I was for the speed and the generosity of the response. If I am a Cuban, I’d be super proud,’’ he said. Nabarro also praised the international solidarity shown during the Ebola response, adding that he was also impressed by the contributions of the African Union (AU). “It was an amazing response. The AU had been successful in mobilising support from public and private sources.

Stop this carnage or negotiate with Boko Haram

etween last February and May 29 inauguration of the Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari presidency, Boko Haram, the deadly Islamic militant sect that remained a troubling security irritant in Nigeria and the West African sub- region, receded from the consciousness of Nigerians as a potent threat to the corporate unity of their country. This was largely the result of the superlative counter-insurgency offensives of the African Union-backed Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) put together to address the increasing menace of the dreaded sect in Nigeria and the neighbouring states of Cameroun, Chad and Niger. Made up of troops from Nigeria, Cameroun, Chad and Niger, the regional forces progressively pushed Boko Haram from the Sambisia Forest and the swathe of territories under its control in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states. Such was the success of the counterinsurgency measures that the Federal Government last March announced that only three local government areas in the north east region of the country were still being held by the sect. The string of successes recorded by the multinational force induced frenzied celebrations across the country, particularly against the backdrop of the belief that the end was imminent for the terrorist group, whose activities had claimed over 13, 000 lives, sowed sorrows and despoliations all over the country since its announced birth in 2009. However, with about 600 recorded deaths from the lethal weapons of Boko Haram insurgents in the first 41 days of the Buhari administration and from a spate of well coordinated attacks that caught the Nigerian military napping, there are renewed fears concerning the ability of the Federal Government, and indeed, the regional foreces, to defeat the sect. The resurgence of the deadly activities of the sect in the region even after the relocation of the nation’s military command headquarters to Maiduguri, has shown that the government’s ter-

ritorial gains might have been overstated, and that Boko Haram has again decidedly retaken the initiative. The reinvigorated deadliness of the sect’s might be due to its ties to the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL), because it appears to have possessed discernible strengthened tactical capacity as seen in its preference for ambushes and phased, multi-pronged attacks instead of the past head-on battles over territory; the ties might also provided for it access to more sophisticated weaponry. The Tuesday’s killing of 25 people in

SO, PRESIDENT BUHARI WITH HIS MILITARY CHIEFS MUST ACT WITH DISPATCH TO STAVE OFF THE LOOMING ARMAGEDDON.

TWO OPTIONS OFFER BETTER PROSPECT FOR THE RESOLUTION OF THE CONUNDRUM: ENGAGING THE INSURGENTS IN AN ALL OUT WAR THAT WOULD CLINICALLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY DECIMATE THE SECT TO ELIMINATE ITS THREAT LEVEL COMPLETELY OR NEGOTIATE WITH IT TO END THE ASYMMETRIC WAR OF ATTRITION

Zaria, Kaduna State, by a bomb blast that ripped through a packed government office, a development that capped a week of horror in which close to 300 people had died in separate attacks in Jos, Plateau State, Kano and Potiskum, Yobe State, exemplified the acquired deadliness of the sect. These strings of attacks confirm that the militants still pose serious existential threat to the nation’s corporate existence. This reality calls for urgent action as it is obvious Nigerians will continue to live with this daily horror with its trauma. So, President Buhari with his military chiefs must act with dispatch

to stave off the looming Armageddon. Two options offer better prospect for the resolution of the conundrum: engaging the insurgents in an all out war that would clinically and comprehensively decimate the sect to eliminate its threat level completely or negotiate with it to end the asymmetric war of attrition. The deployment of the two options simultaneously is also a possibility. The choice is President Buhari’s. He had initially demonstrated his preference for an all out onslaught against the militants when he announced in his May 29 inaugural speech the relocation of the military command headquarters to Maiduguri; he followed this hawkish move with personal talks with the leaders of Chad and Niger; and pledge of $100 million support to the regional forces, out of which $21 million had been disbursed. However, he recently expressed his willingness to enter into dialogue with Boko Haram. This volte-face, to us, is a veritable window for peace, which the two parties should exploit optimally. Prevailing reality could have tempered with his earlier position on the issue, which was made in the heat of the electioneering leading to the March 28 presidential election. Six years of insurgency has inflicted enormous cost on the country, therefore, no sacrifice is too big for peace to return to the country. The facelessness of the leadership of Boko Haram could be overcome with a credible third party mediator. The shared religious creed of head of the Nigerian government and top echelons of Boko Haram should be exploited to facilitate the dialogue process. Nothing should be spared to end this senseless hostility. One other strong factor that recommends the dialogue option is the three countries in the regional military coalition – Chad, Cameroon and Niger – might not have the capacity for sustained open-ended conflict with Boko Haram. Public opinion of the military engagement might change for the worse if these countries become victims of escalating terror attacks.

Time of God is time of life, says Muoka … as Lord’s Chosen holds mid-year crusade

L-r : General Overseer, The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries Pastor Lazarus Muoka, his wife Pastor Joy Muoka, Head, Public Relations and Media, Chidi Louis at the event.

ODINAKA URUAKPA

he General Overseer and Pastor in charge of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry, Pastor Lazarus Muoka said people should understand that the time of God is the time of life adding that whatever they want to do, salvation of their soul should always be at the back of their mind because after death, they no longer have the opportunity to be saved.

He spoke clerics and members of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry, TLCCRM gathered in one accord last weekend at a two-day mid-year crusade/ revival in joyous and spirit-filled mood. The event tagged “It is God’s time” which took place at the Chosen revival ground ljesha Lagos drew faithful and guests from far and near who came to seek God for divine favour ranging from spiritual and financial empowerment as well as deliverance from various ailments. Speaking on the significance of the crusade, “This is the time to amend your ways because after rapture, you would not be able to do that again; in fact, every work of grace is now; you want to be healed, it is now, you want to be delivered or blessed, it is now because this is the time of God; the time of grace and if you don’t make good use of this time, after death, you don’t have the time again. If you do not amend your bad ways and eventually die, you would automatically suffer because when you cross-over, what awaits you is the judgement of God and damnation in hell. “ There is no repentance in the grave. We should make use of this time which is God’s time to receive His blessings, healing, salvation and all that we need to spend eternity with Him. I want us to understand that for our nation and the whole

world, it is God’s time; for this reason, everybody should embrace God before the trumpet sounds because very shortly, Christ will come to take the saints away, so this is God’s time”, he said. On the world order and some of the atrocious acts happening in the world today, and the possibility that Christ’s coming is close at hand, Muoka said: “Looking at what is happening now in the world, it is very clear that we have just the last chance to reconcile with God because the anti-Christ all over the world are organising and doing everything to put their government in place. If you look at the crisis and all that you see happening today, you would realise that the army of the anti-Christ is getting ready to work and as soon as the trumpet sounds, they will take over. That is what informed this theme so that people of God would get ready now and take their turn by amending their ways and waiting for the trumpet and rapture of the saints.” On the mayhem going on in the National Assembly and people’s view on perceived slowness on president Buhari in executing policies, he said that Nigerians need to pray for their leaders and for God to take charge of the situation in the country. When asked if the theme of the crusade has

spiritual connection with the new leadership in the country, Muoka said: “In that regard, I should look at what God is saying concerning the present hour for the church. People must understand that the government of the world is not the government of God. All I am going to base my argument on the new government is that we as ministers of God should pray for them and that is a duty I and other clerics owe this government to pray for them to be good administrators and aim for the betterment of the nation. I pray that they have the fear of God because that is what would make for our unity, peace, progress and eradication of all the evil that abound in the country; when we pray for them and the fear of God and do everything according to His will, I am sure that Nigerians would enjoy because there would be prosperity and blessings. As long as this theme is concerned, it has connection with everything because it is God’s time for them to be able to live and do the will of God and then God would bless them”, he revealed. Speaking on prevalence of gay marriage especially in the western world, the cleric said it is a mark of the end-time, adding that in the beginning God created all creatures in both the male and female form and never has it been seen or recorded anywhere that any of the lower animals have intimate relationship with the same sex. “It is the degeneration of humanity that has brought about this act of same sex relationship. In fact, all that we have to do is for us to get prepared because it is a sign that the end is near; the coming of Jesus is near. It is because this same act that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the present generation especially the western world is encouraging that which is an abomination and contrary to the will of God, but like I said earlier, this are end-times and Christ is coming”, Muoka maintained. The crusade saw those who claimed to have received deliverance and healing of ailments and various favours from God testify to the goodness of God.

Repositioning for greater glory (Is. 6:1-3) Miracle Arena with Bishop

Theo Ugochukwu

see a divine hand of God about to make divine things happen in your life. Whatever that the Lord did not approve in your life shall not be approved. Every destiny that you have now that is connected to God cannot be stopped by any man. This season, someone is having a new song.

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. {Isaiah 6:1-3} The scripture attested that until King Uzziah died, Isaiah did not behold the glory of God. It was when King Uzziah died that Isaiah was repositioned to see the glory of God. Before now, Isaiah never knew that something was blocking him from beholding the glory of God. The Lord will do something this year that will cause you to know actually where you are, and He will also do something that will make the Glory of God to be seen in your life. “And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all the flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord hat spoken it”. The glory of the Lord shall be revealed upon your life. Wherever you enter, men shall see the glory of God. Any environment you enter, the glory of God will manifest ahead of time. God’s glory will pick you out of the crowd. When the man that carries glory enters into a place, the glory will speak. By the

time the glory of God is revealed in your life, men will see you and people will begin to identify with you. I prophesy, before the end of this month, God’s glory will locate you. Glory can be manifested: {John 2:11} “… This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested for his glory, and his disciples believed on him”. The glory of Christ was made manifest when he turned water into wine during the wedding of Galilee. This miracle wouldn’t have brought Christ to limelight if he was not positioned in the wedding. I pray that God will position you where your glory will manifest in Jesus Name. One of my daughters dedicated her child on the 28th of June this year. This is a woman, each time she takes in, the devil will step in and she will have a miscarriage, but when God said yes, no man could say no. I said to her, I was going to start a prayer, that this time, God is going to answer, and that when God answers, we are going to bring the child to the altar of God and show him to the Lord. I tell you, the devil battled, but he could not do anything, and today, I tell you, that boy has been born and was dedicated to the Lord according to God’s ordinance. No power will tamper with what God has ordained to happen in your life. Joseph was born in a family with much greed and jealousy. His brothers tried everything possible to terminate his dream and his glory, but God in His divine ordinance delivered him out of the pit and repositioned him in the house of Portipher where he was finally sent to the prison. Some people will be wondering what the prison has got to do with a man’s glory. A prison is where one is confined to great solitude. The prison limits one to the four walls with contaminated air and lack of freedom. Joseph was meant to pass through this school of loneliness and ill treatment for his glory to manifest. Joseph wouldn’t have had an encounter with Pharaoh, King of Egypt if he was not positioned in the prison, where his talent won him the honour to see the King. Every man’s glory is tied to his/her talent,

and what he can offer to the world. Christ’s glory was made manifest immediately he performed his first miracle during the wedding in Galilee. Daniel in the bible came to lime light when he made known to the King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, the meaning and interpretation of a dream he had. And the Bible said “Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him. The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king {Daniel 2:46-49}. The Bible recorded it that the gift of a man makes way for him. Same was recorded of Joseph who was picked from the prison to the palace. Joseph rose to the position of the Prime Minister in a foreign land when he told Pharaoh the meaning and interpretation of a dream he had, when all the wise men and Astrologists in the land could not help the King out. “And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, it is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh

took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. {Gen 41:15-16; 39-43}. For your glory to manifest, you need to be at a place, a location where you will be identified and your vision in life nurtured for manifestation. Some people find themselves in places where their inborn values and talents are not identified, while others with enviable traits and vision find themselves in the wrong location where their potential traits cannot be harnessed. The Lord will surely prepare you and bring out the best in you so that your glory will manifest. You just need to be more committed to the things of God, no matter how small it appears to be. Your vision in life is determined by God’s plan for you. Vision is about accessing God’s divine plan for your life because every child of God is entitled to the plan of God. Where there is no access to the plan of God, the struggles of life continue, and vision is not limited to a call to the ministry. Your vision on earth is the opening of your own assignment on earth. I urge you to find yourself attached to a true Bible based church, where you will be nurtured with the right word needed for your glory to manifest. The Lord will give you the grace to get committed to the things of God. •For more information, contact: Bishop Theo Ugochukwu – General Overseer, Miracle Assembly Bible Church, a.k.a.

Secrets of greatness

teve Maraboli in his book Life, the Truth, declared: “you were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it fearlessly.” God put you here for a purpose. You were born to make an impact.

What you are right now is God’s gift to you, but what you become is your gift to God and to humanity! It is time to be the best that God made you to be. It is time to be the perfect “you” as fashioned by your inscrutable and infallible creator. Let us explore more aspects of this God-given greatness that you carry in you! Great Joy. Apostle Peter describes the joy of believing in Christ as inexpressible and glorious! “ Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” This great J.O.Y. comes from putting Jesus first, Others next, and Yourself the last! Aquinas posits that humans “cannot live without joy!” Augustine of Hippo describes the happy life as “to rejoice to Thee, of Thee,

for Thee.” It is the right of those who embrace Christ and live out the true gospel. I agree with Leslie Weatherhead: “the opposite of joy is not sorrow. It is unbelief!” Great joy enters your soul when you know that God unconditionally loves you. He died for it! “Joy is the wine that God is ever pouring into the hearts of those who strive with Him,” notes G. A. Studdert Kennedy. Mother Teresa believes that “one filled with joy preaches without preaching!” Dr. Charles Swindoll demands that all believers must exhibit joy as “a spiritual command. To ignore it is disobedience” to God. “The religion of Christ is the religion of joy!” exclaims Octovius Winslow. In Christ, our curse is cancelled, our debt is deleted, our chains are cut, prison opened, our sins are forgiven, our trials become triumphs, our conflicts are victories, and our future is “a heaven of inconceivable, unthought-of, untold, and endless blessedness!” [Octovius Winslow]. God gives us “beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness” (Isaiah 61:3). The obedient believer has within themselves “enough to fill the present day with joy, and overspread the future years with hope” [William Wordsworth]. It was said of the gentile city of Samaria, after converting to Philip’s gospel: “and there was great joy in that city” (Acts 8:8). Claim the same for your family! Great Hope. This world is full of misery and woe. No wonder Bertrand Russell declares: “extreme hopes are born of extreme misery”

[“The Future of Mankind,” Unpopular Essays (1950)]. William Shakespeare agrees: “the miserable have no other medicine but only hope” (Measure for Measure III, 5.2.23). While we sojourn on earth, we are “prisoners of hope” (Zech 9:12). God is the “God of hope” (Rom 16:13). He has given us “a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Pet 1:3). “Without Christ there is no hope!” exclaims Charles Spurgeon. “Christ in you, the Hope of glory!” (Col 1:27). Jesus is the “hope of Israel” that insulates us from shame and the “fountain of living waters” (Jer 17:13; 2:13). Our hope in God is our “anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast” (Heb 6:19). Muhammad Ali snapped: “If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of you!” “There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them,” agrees Clare Boothe Luce. “Hope is the anchor of the soul, the stimulus to action, and the incentive to achievement.” “Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.” At last, we shall actualize “the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). Great Promises. The greatness that God assures all of us is based on the promises He has made in His word. Achieving this is directly proportional to how you cash-in on God’s promises concern-

ing your situation. Apostle Peter vehemently declares: “He has given us his exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature.” (2 Pet 1:4). “God’s promises are like life preservers. They keep the soul from sinking in the sea of trouble.” It is the privilege of all believers to tackle all of life’s problems with the promises of God. David Nicholas learnt that “God’s promises are like the stars; the darker the night, the brighter they shine.” Jesus is the “Yes” to every promise of God according to Paul’s assertion in 2 Corinthians 1:20 that all God’s promises are “Yes” and •Tunde Ojewole, PhD, is the Babcock University Pastor in charge: Division of Spiritual Life.

Divorcing clerics: Biblical

ome leaders of the Christian community are finding it distressing that the divorce rate among professing Christians is nearly as high as that of the unbelieving world. In Malachi 2:16, Luke 11:4 and Ephesians 4:32, the Bible makes it abundantly clear that God hates divorce and that reconciliation and forgiveness should be the marks of a believer’s life. But it is more worrisome when clerics who are supposed to be the custodians of the scriptures engage in this in this scandalous act.

Considering the stance of the Bible on this, divorce by Christian clerics, which is now on the increase in and outside Nigeria is sure to leave a sour taste in the mouths of many, among members of the church and the body of Christ in general. Having heard and read of some of the unpleasant cases among church leaders and clergymen, indeed, the ugly trend leaves much to be desired, given the fact that the Church is believed to be the ground and pillar of truth, the custodian of morality and sanctity. Moreover, marriage is believed to be sacred as a God-ordained institution, even as clergymen and women are expected to be role models in keeping the marriage vows and covenant intact. Ordinarily, people who are concerned with this development, Christians in particular want to know what could have gone wrong and why marriages of clergymen and women also are laced with irreconcilable differences. What does this spell for the church? What can be done to stop this ugly trend? According to the Director of Studies of the United Bible University, Ogun State, Prof. Kunle Macaulay, in marriage, clerics are just as human as other individuals who venture into the relationship that takes endurance and perseverance to be successful. “Marriage is a relationship between two people from different families who have to learn how to live together in endurance and perseverance. Divorce should be the last thing to happen in the union because everybody must try their best to keep their home, look after the children, maintain the relationship and the family. Divorce is not something that should be encouraged because marriage is something that is expected to last forever”, he claimed. Concerning clerics who have been linked to divorce and who are supposed to be spiritual role models to their followers, the theologian insisted that cleric’s involvement in divorce has nothing to do with their work, adding that like every other person or professional, the cleric too have personal problems which may lead to an unfavourable end. “What we need to realise is that the life of a cleric or pastor is affected by so many conditions. It is affected by his environment, his society, his personal life, spiritual life and so on. The fact is that many people think that pastors are spirits; pastors are not spirits, clerics are not special people; they are ordinary

Christians are advised not to resort to divorce when problems arise in their marriage except of course, one partner is guilty of the sin of adultery as stated in the Bible. But how do clerics who preach forgiveness sort things out when involved in divorce scandal? ODINAKA URUAKPA spoke with some clerics who shared their views on the issue. people; they are human beings just like any one of us, what affects an individual man on the road, affects them too. Some of these clerics have more problems than the ordinary member of the church; some of them have very bad wives, but you will never know. When they are counselling their followers, they have problems and difficult situations at home to cope with. I don’t see anything special about pastors; if as pastor you happen to have a bad wife, there is nothing you can do. It takes two people to manage a home; if the pastor is good and the wife is bad, then they can’t keep that home; two of them must be good to keep their home.” When asked if he supports clerics not get married so as to avoid such intricacies as divorce in their marriage, Macaulay’s response was that nobody ever receives training on how to handle marriage. “Marriage is part of the experience of life; it is when you get into it that you start to experience what it is all about. You have a partner, you are in love and then you get married, then you start to see the differences in your life-style and that is when the problems start to come up and then you start at that moment to manage the home. When you talk about people not getting married; it is a choice. If you think that you cannot handle a home, then don’t get married, but if you think that you can manage a home, then try it and get married

MARRIAGE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT FAMILIES WHO HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER IN ENDURANCE

AND PERSEVERANCE.

DIVORCE SHOULD BE THE

LAST THING TO HAPPEN IN THE UNION BECAUSE EVERYBODY MUST TRY THEIR BEST TO KEEP THEIR HOME, LOOK AFTER THE CHILDREN, MAINTAIN THE RELATIONSHIP AND THE FAMILY.

and then manage it; no marriage is perfect. Some people deceive us that they have been married for 30 years and that there has never been any quarrel; that is not true because every marriage has its own challenges, but if people are able to manage, then we can give them kudos for keeping the marriage”, he maintained. In his submission, Pastor Moses Ojo, General Overseer of World Soul Winning Ministry, Abuja claimed that Jesus Christ does not support Christians to divorce, so any pastor that engages in the act has gone out of line with the doctrine of Christ. “Personally, I don’t support the idea of divorce for whatever reason and on no excuse should any man of God be seen to involve themselves in the act because both the Old and New Testaments condemn divorce for Christians not to talk

of when the person is a Christian leader. Somewhere in the book of Corinthians, it is stated that if you have an unbelieving wife who departs, you are free and if you have an unbelieving husband, if he departs, you are free, but these days, it is so common to see believers opting for divorce at the slightest of problems. As far as I am concerned, any Christian that indulges in this won’t see the kingdom of God be it a pastor or lay member of the church because it is not of God. The Bible tells us that it is appointed onto man to die and after death, judgement so, anyone who files divorce against their partner and dies in that state, then he or she has God to answer to. The Bible stands clearly against divorce so if as a pastor you believe you can do it and get away with it then your thoughts are wrong”, He warned.

implications On the portion of Bible which recommends divorce when any of the partners in a marriage is guilty of the sin of adultery, Ojo said that Jesus in the gospel of Matthew gave the instruction that even if one is caught committing adultery, such a person should be forgiven. “Jesus makes us understand that we should forgive anyone who offends us. If someone catches the spouse in the act of adultery, he or she needs to forgive the person; when we sin against God, He forgives us so if God can forgive us why can’t we forgive the person who offended us more so when it is our spouse? Come to think of it, it is not as if the person planned it, but the demon behind that sin certainly must have pushed the person to do it. I don’t think it is right for any Christian, especially a professed man or woman of God to use adultery as a yardstick to file for divorce in their marriage”, he asserted. When asked what should happen in the case of clerics whose cases for divorce with their spouse are already making waves in public domain the cleric said: “As long as the aggrieved party is ready to forgive and the two come back together as husband and wife, whatever negative remarks people make would no longer count. If the two reconcile, every other thing is secondary, but if they decide to go their separate ways, only God can judge. “The scripture cannot be broken. For whatsoever a man sows so shall he reap. God can never lower His standard for anybody regardless of who they are; everyone is equal in God’s sight. It is only we human beings that put people on a high pedestal and this is the reason when people who are supposed to be our leaders make mistake, most of the followers would fall into that same error, so I would implore any pastor who has found themselves in this kind of predicament to be the Christians they ought to be by forgiving each other’s sins.” Speaking on his feelings about Christian leaders involved in divorce cases, Pastor Fola Adebola said a preacher divorcing and remarrying is out of sync with Christian practices adding that the position of the church and the Bible has not changed, therefore; the same conditions that apply to every believer on divorce and marriage are the same conditions that apply to preachers. “Scripture did not mince words where it stated that what God has joined together no man should put asunder; the Bible tells us how Christians should live. In the letters of Paul to Timothy, he outlines the qualities expected of a leader. Divorce and Christianity do not go together; not to talk of a leader who should be an example to his followers engaging in such forbidden act. Marriage, no matter who is involved needs openness, sincerity, understanding, love and caring to work”, he submitted. Asked if he would recommend remarriage for clerics who realised that they married an unbeliever for wife, he said:

Model

THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN. FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWS SO SHALL HE REAP. GOD CAN NEVER LOWER HIS STANDARD FOR ANYBODY REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY ARE; EVERYONE IS EQUAL IN GOD’S SIGHT. “Death is one of the factors that can lead a cleric like any other Christian to remarry. The second is adultery, but in that very adultery, there should be forgiveness. Coming to the case where the spouse becomes an unbeliever and decides to behave like one in the marriage, and says that I don’t want to marry again, the person that is being abandoned is not in any bondage to stay single forever; such a person is permitted to remarry.” Pastor Peter Nwaru stated that first of all, no matter what view one takes on the issue of divorce, it is important to remember what the scripture has to say on the issue no matter who is involved. “The Bible in Malachi 2:16 states; ‘I hate divorce, says the Lord God of Israel.’ According to the Bible, marriage is a lifetime commitment. Again, Matthew 19:6 states; ‘so they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.’ God realizes, though, that since marriages involve two sinful human beings, divorces are going to occur. In the Old Testament, Deuteronomy 24:1-4 to be precise, God laid down some laws in order to protect the rights of divorcees, especially women. Jesus pointed out in Matthew 19:8 that these laws were given because of the hardness of people’s hearts, not because they were God’s desire. Coming to the case of clerics, the Bible makes us understand that if the partner is still alive, the man of God should not remarry. If before he became a minister of God the wife left him and she is now married, the man can remarry in order not to burn with passion. But if it happens while he is a Christian he cannot

remarry while the woman is still alive. That is why everybody should look very well before marriage. We must be able to take responsibility for our decision. If the woman leaves, she breaks the covenant of the first marriage”, he claimed. Nwaru opined that instead of the man burning with passion, it is better he remarries claiming that it is better for him to remarry than philandering all over the church. “But I must tell you this one truth, we are not God and I believe that the issue of marriage cannot make or mar our

heaven; marriage won’t be criteria for heaven. God will not ask you whether you marry or remarry before He allows you into heaven. Instead of going to hell it is better to remarry. If a woman leaves a man for another, do you expect the man to wait till she dies? It is only God that knows best in that area. Well, this is my opinion and from what I have learnt, once a woman leaves a man, she has broken the covenant of the first marriage and that means the man is no longer bound; this is also the case when the man errs”, he maintained.

Pulpit Sunday July 12, 2015

Reason for suffering lack, Pastor Muoka General Overseer of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, in this piece, explains why people suffer lack. Excerpts:

o many believers are suffering lack today because they are working in isolation with the word of God and disobedient to the word of God and as a result they suffer lack. Sometimes, unbelievers who are ignorantly practising godly principle of increase are better than them which ought not to be so. If one disobeys God’s principle - whether believer or unbeliever- that person will be under curse and it is always horrible when one disobeys God because that person will be placed under heavy yoke of poverty, sicknesses, diseases, lack and hindrances.

Proverbs 10: 4-5 says: “He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. 5 ¶ He that gathereth in summer is a wise harson: but he that sleepeth in har vest is a son that causeth shame”. The general law of increase in God’s moral government is: be industrious and have plenty, or be lazy and be in poverty and remain i n want. G o d has ordered in the course of His providence that he who will not work shall not eat. And He blesses the work

Pastor Muoka

of those that are industrious. Those who deal with a slack hand, who are careless in godly principle of increase and never mind which end goes foremost, nor ever set their hands vigorously to their work or stick to it; those who deal with a deceitful hand will, in the end, impoverish themselves, not only by bringing the curse of God on what they have, but by forfeiting their reputation with men. Those who are diligent and honest, who are careful about their affairs, and who do what their hands find to do, and do it with all their might, in a fair and honourable way, will have increase in all their endeavours. This is true in the affairs of our souls as well as in our worldly affairs. Slothfulness and hypocrisy lead to spiritual poverty p po verty, but those who are a e fervent in labour ar and spirit, serving the Lord, are likely to be rich in faith and rich in good works. Proverbs 20: 4 says: “The sluggard will not plough by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have and nothing”. nothing”. T h o s e that will not plough in seed-time can-

not expect to reap in harvest and therefore they must beg their bread with astonishment when the diligent are bringing home their sheaves with joy. He that will not submit to the labour of ploughing must submit to the shame of begging. They shall beg in harvest, and yet have nothing for they deserve to be starved. Those that would not provide oil in their vessels begged when the bridegroom came, and were denied. An idle soul, one that is idle in the affairs of his soul, that takes no care or pains to work out his salvation, that do not observe God’s principles, shall perish for want of that which is necessary to the life and happiness of the soul. Deut. 28: 15-22 says: “But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:16. Cursed shalt thou be in the city city,, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 17. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 18. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 20. The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 21. The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 22. The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish”. If we do not keep God’s commandments, we will not only come short of the blessing prom-

ised, but we will lay ourselves under the curse, which is as comprehensive as of all misery as the blessing is of all happiness. The extent and power of this curse is that wherever the sinner goes, the curse of God follows him; wherever he is, it will rest upon him. Whatever he has is under a curse. All his enjoyments are made bitter; he cannot take any true comfort in them, for the wrath of God mixes itself with them. So it is good that we obey the word of God for in that we shall be blessed. The only way to escape from this kind of suffering or problem is to obey the word of God. Deut. 28: 1- 14 says: “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on above all nations of the earth: 2. high abov And all tthese blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 3.

Nudity is no style, it’s madness –Cassy B, musician

She is popularly known as Cassy B but her real name is Cassandra Augustine Bright, a half Ghanaian and half Nigerian. She is a Lagos-based musician. Though she studied Sociology at Kogi State University music is her calling and has numerous fans to show for it. This damsel whose kind of music is mainly R&B bared her mind to Adaeze Amos, on issues in the music industry, her life as a diva and what she does to be high on stage. Excerpts:

Could you mention some of your albums? Yes, I have lots of songs that are making waves in the market.Such songs such as Won Beri, Nightingale and Dollar Bill are well sought after. But the one that actually brought me into the limelight is “Omo Bariga”, which is the most recent of them all. Why did you choose music as a career? I can’t really say what inspired me into music because I grew up to understand that I love music. I will say it’s my love for music that inspired me into it I started singing right from my childhood and I’m still enjoying it till date. So, I will say the love for music, money and fame accounted for my choosing music as a career. How was your first time on stage before a large crowd? Hmm, my first time on stage before a large crowd was awesome. It happened some few years ago at the university. It was actually before other students on campus being a campus show. Guess what? I wasn’t frightened but to be honest, I was a bit nervous when I was walking to the stage but when I got on stage I was no longer nervous. I performed so well that responses from audience was amazing.

did. d d That would have been a big mistake. I thank God I di faced ffa ac my education and I’m enjoying it today. Some divas take strong substance to enhance their perSo formance on stage. What do you take to be high? for (Giggles) This question is funny but honestly you are being real. Well, I don’t take anything to be high. All I be need ne to do to get high is to listen to music. It’s music alone alo that gets me high and gets me in the mood to perform. Whenever I’m on stage, the joy that I’m about to for sing sin and do what I love most gets me high. And with that th I wouldn’t need any other thing.

Who are some of the Nigerian musical divas you admire? I have three musical divas I so much cherish in the Nigerian music industry. The first person is Omawunmi and what I fancy about her is her style. She also has this charisma I like so much. Then of course she has got strength. She has this enormous energy she exhibits whenever she is performing on stage. Then the other two are Waje and Tiwa Savage. What stands you out in the music world? My style of music makes me unique. I have learnt to create my own style and not to be someone else. I have realised that when so many new artistes sing, people already know who they are trying to imitate or who they are trying to sound like. That to me is not branding. So, I have learnt to be original in everything I do and have also created Cassy B’s style. What thrills you most about music? What thrills me most about music is the joy it gives me whenever I sing. I love the way music makes me feel. All my worries varnish into thin air anytime I sing and I feel as if I’m the best girl on earth. To me music is life and it is the only thing that drives me and gets me high. In fact, it is what thrills me most in life. Some divas because they are already famous and rich

When Wh is your best time to compose songs? The best time for me to write songs and compose them is when I’m down, when I’m sad, heartbroken or when I am a lonely. Anytime I’m heartbroken, I sit down and I write wr songs. Yes, I write my heart out at such moments. What Wh is your style signature? My signature is Omo Bariga. I got that from my latest song and it has a kind of attachment to me. Now most so people call me Omo Bariga and not Cassy B. pe think education is not all that important. Do you think that way too? No! I believe education is power. No matter what one does in life, for the person to be successful in it, she needs solid foundation. And believe me, education is the only thing that can give one a solid foundation. This is the real truth that every artiste should know. That is why some artistes who absconded from school or who opted out of school are gradually finding their ways back to school. Life is better off with education. That is why I went to school first before hitting stardom. I wouldn’t want to come back to school after getting to the limelight. There was a time I felt like giving up on education and face music squarely but I thank God I never

What does fashion mean to you? Fashion is a beautiful thing. After music, the next thing that matters to me is fashion because the way I look is important. I believe that fashion and music go hand in hand. So, fashion to me is an essential part of life. What is that common fashion blunder in our society? I think the mistakes most ladies make is wearing ‘rags’ in the name of fashion. I believe in looking sexy and beautiful but most ladies think looking sexy is being naked or half naked. No one should dress half nude in the guise of being fashionnable. Another common blunder is that most ladies here seldom dress to tally

Well, my face is something I care about a lot in my body and I proudly flaunt it. I take good care of my face because it is like my mirror. Reason is that the first thing people see of you is your face. So, I wouldn’t want my face to scare people away even before they know what I have to offer.

What do you cherish most in a man? Honesty and integrity. Then every other thing is a plus. What is your life philosophy? My life philosophy is one step at a time. There is no hurry in life. What very lesson has life taught you? Life has taught me never to depend or trust in mortal man. Putting your whole trust on a man would bring nothing but heartbreaks at the end of it. What is that fashion accessory that forms a larger part of your wardrobe? My shoes and jeans of course. I love shoes,snickers, high-heeled shoes, flat shoes just name it. These two fashion accessories are what you can find in excess in my wardrobe. What do you think about Nigerian ladies who post their nude pictures on the net just to get attention? Having your nude pictures all over the net is nothing but madness. No matter what you intend to gain from that, be it fame, money, limelight, aren’t worth selling your dignity for. I mean where has the desire to be a role model to younger generations gone to? Nudity is no style, it’s madness. What do you do right to nip the pains of heartbreak in the bud? Whenever I am heartbroken, I take a deep breath first and tell myself that I’m alive and life has to go on. Music has been my companion throughout any trying period of my life. Remember I said that whenever I’m down, I sing and forget all my worries. And when I sing, I get my groove back. I may also watch some funny black American movies and laugh. That has helped me tremendously. But in most cases, music has always been my rescue.

rincess Tese Onakala the CEO of Needlekraft Couture, a fashion outfit that designs for women that want to look glamorous is a mother of three. A lawyer by profession but opted for her passion which of course is fashion designing because of her undying love for fashion. Little wonder she is one of the fashion enthusiasts that make fashion sizzle on the red carpet. But is this delectable woman not missing the legal profession? How is she coping with fashion as a business in the first place? “Well, by virtue of my training as a lawyer and my education in Business Management, I got early exposure to the business side of fashion management. So, where I am today is not just a mere coincidence. It was planned out and all captured on our road map. So, I’m here to lead the industry in fashion innovation as well as deliver high quality products and services to my clients,” she said. What this style icon thinks about today’s fashion industry is that, “it has evolved and is fast becoming the next big thing. “We are gradually moving away from copying the western styles sheepishly. We now make our own fashion statements, create our own designs and even export it to international market. But what we need most is the support of our government especially in the area of stable electricity so as to enable us become more competitive with our foreign counterparts,” she enthused. What calibre of people does she design for, you may ask. “I design for every stylish fashion lover. But I don’t make clothes just to cover the body or cover one’s nakedness. I do not produce in large quantities, my designs are vocal and expressive yet affordable. My designs are bespoke and customized to the exact requirement and statics of the customer. This is what makes me unique in this business. That is why I’m regarded as celebrity clothier. But that not withstanding, I also design for average income earners,”

s h e stressed. This amazon in the fashion circle is unique in many ways, no doubt. “My personal style is based on comfort and convenience. Yes, my style has to be comfortable and it has to fit. And above all, it should be appropriate for the occasion,” she stated. Tese unveiled her beauty regimen and secrets of her good shape without mincing words. “Well, there is nothing special or extraordinary about my good looks rather than being disciplined in every aspect of my life. I pay more attention to what I eat and drink with adherence to regular exercises. These are secrets of my good looks,” she enthused. This celebrity has been able to give back to society in one way or the other. “I have been able to give back to the society through NeedleKraft Couture Foundation. This is an aspect of my life that I am passionate about as I believe that the true worth of a man is not in the amount of money he accumulates , but in the number of lives he is able to touch in his lifetime. This has been my motivation over the years as I embarked upon life -touching vectures . I own a fashion school where I train people free of charge and give out free sewing machines. This is my own way of empowering people especially women. My foundation also sponsors cancer screening exercises , provides free clothings to orphanages and scholarships to the less privileged in our society,” she enthused. Her sources of inspiration?“I derive inspiration from my designs when they take centre stage and people applaude and embrace them .Yes, getting that wowed expressions, seeing that unbridled excitement on the faces of people when they behold my designs honestly remains my biggest source of inspiration,” she said.

Dude Style

‘Nigeria, hub of amazing music’ Adekunle Gold is an Urban Highlife singer and song writer, signed on to YBNL label. In this interview with Victor Udoh, he speaks about his hit song, Shade, and his dress sense. Excerpts: Tell us about your educational background? I studied art and industrial design,majored in graphics. I graduated in 2009, from Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu, with HND Graphics. Having studied industrial design, why did you venture into music? Music comes first. I loved music before graphics came to my mind . So I wouldn’t say I ventured into music after studying industrial design. After leaving school, I worked with Jumia in 2012, as a photo editor,then moved to Konga in 2013, as head editor. All these times, I was making music all through. What inspired your journey into music? I grew up learning a lot of things which has made me into the young man I am today. I listened to a lot of works of veteran musicians at home with my father. I wor steadily listened to the likes of Chief Ebenezer Obey, stea Sunny Ade and Kayode Fashola’s music, which gave King Sun me a taste for highlife. I joined teen choir in our church and I remember trying to imchoirmaster every time so that I could get the micropress the choi phone and do a solo. I tried a lot to prove to people p that I had something to offer the society through music. What inspired the song, ‘Shade’? The song is my story. I was chasing a girl three years ago; her name is Shade. She insisted she wasn’t ready for me . Everything I said in the song is true except that Shade didn’t agree to be my girlfriend . However, her rejection inspired the hit song. h Did you know it would be a hit song? I didn’t know it would be this big; I just recorded ‘Shade’ and prayed that God would bless it. It turned out that God promoted the song Himself and it is an anthem now. The song is literally everywhere. I have performed in various states of the country, and people there sing it along with me while I am on stage. Who is your mentor? Asa, 2face. I love their music. These people have been true to their style over the years even as one-way as the industry has been over the years. Why are Nigerian musicians not getting it right, and what area do you think they can improve upon? I think Nigerian musicians are doing amazing things; a lot of talents come out every day. We are doing well outside of Africa too; we are gradually penetrating the rest of the world and they are embracing our music. However, more artistes should try to be more creative and stop thinking you can only thrive in

the industry if you make ‘club bangers’ alone. What projects are you executing at the moment ? I have just released a single titled, ‘Orente’, and like I envisaged after praying to God before the song was released , it’s getting massive love everywhere. We will be dropping the video as soon as possible ,as well as and a couple more collabos with other artistes. How do you relax? I play football with my friends and swim a lot. Where do you see the entertainment industry in the next five years? I see Nigerian music taking over the world in no distant future .I see a lot of international stars working with our artistes. Nigeria will be a hub of amazing music. What fashion item can you never be caught wearing and why? Chains. I am not crazy about them. What is your advice to up- and -coming artistes that are looking up to you? Keep working hard and don’t stop believing in yourselves. Where do you see yourself in the next five years? By God’s grace in five years, Adekunle Gold will be a household name in and outside of Africa. Which artiste would you like to work with and why? Asa because she’s an amazing singer and writer. Her music makes me happy. I’m a big fan of hers and pray every day to be on her playlist. How was your first experience on stage? I was super nervous at first. But I told myself, “Kunle this is what you’ve always wanted to do . Go on that stage and blow minds.” Thankfully, I got a lot of great comments about my performance. What is the most remarkable day of your life? The day Olamide called me to join the label. I was very excited and heaved a sigh of relief after our conversation, having struggled so hard for about seven years to find someone to believe in me and support my music. Olamide told me: ‘I love your music, and I don’t want you to change your sound. If it would interest you, I would love you to be on my label.’ It was a great day for me. Apart from music, what other things are you into? Besides singing, I am a brand developer and also do graphics. What fashion item forms the biggest part of your wardrobe? I have a lot of afrocentric shirts and love boots a lot. What further advice have you generally for our entertainment industry? As much as we try to entertain the nation, the government should help with the issue of piracy and also play a major part in showcasing us to the entire world. What is the craziest thing a fan ever done to you? A fan alighted from a bus to take a selfie with me. Can you tell us about your new single, ‘Orente’? My new single is titled, ‘Orente’. It’s a song for faithful ladies. I wrote it two years ago. It was produced by Oscar, mixed and arranged by Simi, to praise good girls that stand by their men through thick and thin.

n this part of the world, the major reason for sex is believed to be procreation. The other reason is pleasure. So, when sex is for procreation, the intention is to get pregnant first and then, the baby comes later. Before the pregnancy, couples often put their all into the sex game. For many who are free with their partners, there is no end to what they can do to having fun. To them, it is always a moment of maximum enjoyment. But what happens when the woman becomes pregnant? Can sex be the same again during pregnancy? This is a question that many would answer in different ways. However, the truth is that sex during pregnancy is safe. To begin with, it is important to note that at the initial stage, because of hormonal fluctuations, fatigue and nausea; your sexual desire may reduce. The weight gain, back pain and other symptoms of pregnancy may also not make sex attractive to you. But once again, sex during pregnancy is safe, especially when the pregnancy is progressing normally. So, get those fears away and enjoy yourself. Sex during pregnancy can’t cause a miscarriage: Many couples are afraid that having sex during pregnancy may cause miscarriage. But it is not true. Cases of early miscarriages are often times related to chromosomal abnormalities or other problems. And really, 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 pregnancy are…: Although we will later come up with some sex positions that are good for you during pregnancy, let me say here that no position is bad as long as you are comfortable with it. Most sexual positions are good for you once it does not give you any pain or look awkward. Besides, the growth of your pregnancy will determine what is best suitable for you. For example, you may at a point not feel comfortable lying on your back during sex, but prefer to lie next to your partner sideways or climb him; or be in his front. Oral sex? Yes. Anal sex? No! Experts say oral sex is not bad during pregnancy. There is however a caution: “If you receive oral sex, though, make sure your partner doesn’t blow air into your vagina. Rarely, a burst of air might block a blood vessel (air embolism) — which could be a life-threatening condition for you and the baby.” Anal sex is not considered safe for one who is pregnancy. Again, here is a warning note: “Anal sex might be uncomfortable if you have pregnancy-related hemorrhoids. More concerning, anal sex might allow infection-causing bacteria to spread from the rectum to the vagina.” What orgasms can cause: Orgasms can cause uterine contractions and this does not lead to labour. So, don’t get confused if you are experiencing it for the first time. Don’t avoid sex as a result of the contractions as it cannot lead to labour. Practice smart sex. The same caution you apply before you became pregnant must also be observed during pregnancy. If you are at a risk of contracting a sexually transmitted diseases from your partner, then use a con-

dom each time you want to have sex. This time around, you are not the only one at risk if you are not careful. That baby you are carrying is also at risk. So, couples don’t let pregnancy deny you your pleasure. Get to business and you will realise that everything will be okay sexually. Have fun, but remember that easy does it.

Sexual solutions and love products for adults Hello everybody and welcome. It is that time of the year again when we bring you new products for adult sexual wellness and enhancement. First on the list are performance enhancers for women. Normally, we discuss mainly male oriented performance supplements but today, the manufacturers who brought you Magic Mike for Men have created a female version named Total Diva. If you are a woman who lacks the urge for sex or feels no sexual arousal when your husband or partner touches you and tries to get you in the mood, then Total Diva is exactly what you need. It comes in tablet form and is taken daily. One tablet of Total Diva works for as long as three days to get the woman aroused when touched or when she desires it. It also helps her enjoy intercourse as well. So remember the name Total Diva because it is powerful and will help a lot of women. Also for women are new sex toys for their pleasure and enjoyment. Not everybody has a husband or a boyfriend and among those who do, not all of them get the sexual satisfaction they desire. So we have two new realistic dongs to help you out. The first one is the Espresso 6 Inch Dong and the second is the Hard Man 8.5 Inch Dong. Both toys are very good and look like real penises. But they are bigger than your average penis. Both are realistic with variations in size thereby giving women different options depending on how they like it. These toys can be used with your partners or when alone. They are very helpful too considering that cheating on your spouse is not our recommended answer to sexual dissatisfaction. Last but not the least is a set of adult toys made for women and men. They are known as Couple’s Vibrator or Vibrating Cockrings. The manufacturers have branded them Couple’s Vibrator because of how they help both men and women equally. The Couple’s Vibrator is worn by the man at the base of his penis. For him, it ensures that he remains erect even after ejaculation so that intercourse can be stretched for an additional twenty minutes. So if you are a man that

suffers from premature ejaculation, then you need this product because with it, it doesn’t matter if you climax early. What matters is that you are able to maintain your erection long enough to go to town on your lover and make your ancestors proud. For women, the Couple’s Vibrator does the job of stimulating you just like a real vibrator because it vibrates just for the purpose of pleasuring the woman. So when using it, the woman must stay on top to get the full benefits of this amazing toy. Every couple needs this toy. It is powerful, affordable, lasts longer than the typical vibrating Cockring and works wonders for your relationship. They come in three different varieties namely the Ovo B8 Couple’s Vibe and the Ovo B3 Couple’s Vibe. Ovo B3 comes in colors red and white. And for men, we have new products as well, one of which is Max Stamina performance enhancer. We have written about it a few times but it was only available as a sample product. Now it is available in a 12 pack and a 24 pack bottle. The 12 pack bottle will last the user for at least two weeks because it works for 24 to 48 hours while the 24 pack box will last you for over a month. Max Stamina gives firm erections to men suffering from weak or no erection and also stops premature ejaculation in addition to giving the user adequate performance stamina for multiple rounds of back to back intercourse. And finally for today are two latex products for healthy intercourse. The first is the ID Extra Thin Condoms for men. They are strong and yet thin enough to make you think you are not wearing anything at all. The second latex product is what you call a Dental Dam. It is basically a square sheet of flavored latex material designed for oral sex since humans cannot wear condoms over their mouths. The Strawberry Dental Dam is ideal for men and women who like to give oral sex. You place it over the female genitals while administering oral sex to prevent contact with infected body fluids

that can give you a sexually transmitted disease. Adults in need of these products/treatments can call 07086754515 or 08051924159 or any other number here to order or they can order online at www.zeevirtualmedia. com. Zee Virtual Media delivers to you wherever you are in Nigeria. For enquiries, send your emails to custserv@zeevirtualmedia.com - Uche Edochie, MD, Zee Virtual Media.

Health benefits of walnuts during pregnancy A

re you pregnant and you are good in looking the other side when you see walnuts? You are not being fair to yourself. Guess why? Walnuts are plant-based form of omega-3 fatty acids which doctors have affirmed you need in this condition. Walnuts have more omega-3 fatty acids, especially alphalinolenic acids, than other nuts. Omega-3 fats help in the development of the baby’s nervous system, vision, concentration, understanding of words, and overall intelligence quotient (IQ) as they get older.It can also prevent the baby from having asthma and eczema. In just 1/4 cup of walnuts, about a handful, you get almost 100 per cent of your daily needs for omega-3 fatty acids. If you doubt this, ask your doctor. In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts are simply packed with tons of healthful nutrients that will nourish your body and encourage the health and development of your growing baby. The main walnut nutrients are calcium, potassium, vitamin B, fibre and magnesium, all of which can help prevent the blood from clotting too much, and improve your overall blood flow. Walnuts help prevent pregnancy-related hypertension, low birth weight, post-partum depression, and protects your blood vessels. In addition, vitamin E from gamma-tocopherol (rather than the common alpha-tocopherol) helps the body to rid itself of harmful free radicals. Walnuts contain important anti-inflammatory phytonutrients and antioxidants, even some that are found nowhere else in nature. These phytonutrients help your circulatory system and blood vessels to perform at peak levels, which improves cardiovascular and heart health. This also helps push out the bad cholesterol in your body, lowering your total cholesterol level and reducing your risk of developing heart disease, even if you eat only a few walnuts each day. Other Health Benefits of Walnuts: • The antioxidants in walnuts help to develop bones and collagen, in both you and your growing baby. • They help prevent and treat metabolic disorders, diabetes, cancer, weight loss, and numerous other illnesses. • They have melatonin in them, which helps to regulate sleep cycles and adjustment to the light and dark.

• Another benefit of walnuts is that they help promote memory and cognitive response, so they help your baby’s developing brain. Because walnuts have a large amount of oil in them, they will spoil easily, so you should not keep them at room temperature. You store them in your refrigerator for up to six months, and any extra can stay in the freezer for up to a year. To take advantage of all of these health benefits of walnuts, keep little portions of them in your handbag and desk, so when you need a little protein boost, it’s ready for you.

n my house, the word boyfriend was never mentioned when I was a child. In other words, my siblings and I were forbidden from having a date until we were old enough for that. This was not even discussed in my family, it was never mentioned because it was a taboo to have boyfriend as a teenager. That was the way we were raised. So, when I was 12 years old, I did something I knew was very naughty based on the way I was brought up. This may not mean anything to some people, but it meant a whole lot to me. What I did was considered a grievous act in my family. Guess what? There was a day I travelled with my cousin to another town to see her boyfriend. My parents were never aware of this. I was never supposed to embark on that kind of a journey at that age in the first place. I was barely 12 years old but I looked big because I have always been plumb right from my childhood. So, I actually looked bigger than my age. So, when I traveled with a cousin of mine to see her boyfriend, I ended up giving my phone number to an older guy who was all over me and needed my contact very badly. Because of the way he pleaded for it, I gave him and while I was giving it to him, I knew I was doing the wrong thing. Something in me told me I was disobeying my parents. My mother’s stern warnings flashed back to my mind ‘Amy never you give your contacts to a man/stranger.’ But I ignored that and continued scribbling it down. I handed it to him, he smiled and thanked me promising to be calling me whenever he felt like. I thought he wasn’t serious but he was. He kept to his promises. Hence, I kept on receiving random calls from this very guy. I was always picking his calls because he never stopped telling me some sweet nothings. We even used to discuss till midnight and I would sleep very late not caring I would be going to school the following morning. This I continued not knowing that my elder brother was observing me. So, one night, my elder brother decided not to sleep in order to track me down. When he called me that very night, I was asleep, so my elder brother picked my call. He didn’t utter a word but the guy was just the one speaking. He kept mute and listened because he wanted to hear more. And the guy in his usual manner continued showering me with sweet nonsense not knowing I wasn’t the one on the phone. When my brother spoke to him rudely, he hung up. That was when I woke up and my brother descended on me and beat me black and blue that night. In fact, it was a crazy experience for me. He gave me some lashes on my buttocks so hard that I couldn’t sit down for days without feeling pains.

Hosted by MTV VJs, Ehiz and Stephanie, the event, which kicked off with a press conference had Senior Vice President, Viacom Africa, Alex Okosi, Senior Brand Manager, Pernod Ricard Nigeria and Adebola Williams,in attendance. Some of this year’s nominees which included Phyno, Lil Kesh, Iyanya, Yemi Alade, Patoranking and Tanzanian singer,Vanessa MDee, Diamond Platnumz, graced the occasion. While fielding questions from journalists, Okosi stated that the reason behind the MAMA awards was to bring attention to the pool of creative talents in Africa. His words: “in the ten years that we have been around, I think we have done a lot of great things. Our artistes are now known around the world and MTV Base is a catalyst to that. That’s why we have always had international collaborations with other artistes. Every single international artiste that has participated in the MTV or MAMA awards whether Akon, Wyclef, Rick Ross, T- Pain, has had to collaborate with African acts. That’s what we do, we don’t bring them here just to come and play, we put them on the same platform for the world to see them and see our artiste as well and that is what MAMA is really about”, he stated.

The nominees spoke about their expectations of the July 18,2015, awards in Durban, South Africa. An elated Yemi Alade, expressed appreciation to the organisers saying, “For me, being a nominee is as good as winning the category and I am very grateful for the opportunity”. The conference later snowballed into a party with exciting performances from some of the nominees and other biggest music acts like Korede Bello and Reekado Banks, to mention but a few. Guests also enjoyed a surprise performance from MI, who joined Patoranking on stage to perform their hit track, ‘Enemies’. On ground to heighten the fun with exciting mixes were legendary DJ Jimmy Jatt, DJ Xclusive, DJ Caise and Mavin Records, as well as DJ Big N. Others include Cobhams, Sound Sultan, Timi Dakolo, D’banj, Jesse Jagz, Falz and Bahd Guy, as well as well as BlackMagic, OC Ukeje and a host of others.

Darey features Olamide, Soweto Gospel choir on new singles

Darey

Olamide

ward winning R&B superstar and songwriter, Darey Art Alade, is back with two new singles of his forthcoming album titled, ‘Naked’. The songs, ‘Pray For Me’ (Gbàdúrà FuMi), featuring multiple Grammy award winning Soweto Gospel choir and “Àsìkò Laiyé” featuring popular indigenous rapper, Olamide premiered on, Tuesday, July 7, on major radio stations around the country. Popularly known for major hits in the past including Not The Girl, Ba Ni Kudi, Sisi Eko, The Way You Are, Escalade as well as his annual music concert ‘Love Like A Movie’, Darey has reassured fans that he is not leaving the music scene anytime soon as he is set to release his fifth album after four years. ‘Pray For Me’, tells a powerful, positive story of victory against all odds with Darey channeling the spirit of his forefathers as a traditional folk storyteller against a rich backdrop of impressive harmonies from the world famous Soweto Gospel choir. Translated to Gbàdúrà FuMi in Yorùbá, the song is an inspiring musical experience that contrasts Darey’s signature voice range with the delightful vocals of the over 20-strong choral group. ‘Àsìkò Laiyé’, the second single is an up-tempo Afrobeat hip-hop fusion featuring Olamide. Drawing heavily on the Afrobeat sound of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the light-hearted yet inspirational number sees him incorporate the flow of an R&B song with the raw earthiness of Olamide’s ‘Street-hop’ flavour to deliver a danceable, yet truly conscious piece of music. Speaking on the singles, Darey , said , “I thought it would be good to give the fans a sample of the kind of diversity on this album. The idea was to prove that it is possible to make good music that is low-tempo, mid-tempo or dance floor filler and still have a message.” According to him , “I was particularly excited to work with the sensational talents of Soweto Gospel choir on the new singles, which was also a lot of fun to record and work on. On Olamide, he said, “he is a bag of energy and I love the verve and flow he brought to the song. I’m sure fans will love it too, he stressed .” He also revealed that the album, Naked boasts of other exciting features and will be released this August!

Revealed! Genevieve Nnaji’s best kept secreets

Essiet

Mandator recounts ordeals in the hands of kidnappers, sues Police

ictor Essiet of Mandators’ fame, who was rescued penultimate week from the hands of his abductors, has recounted his ordeal. The famed musician was allegedly abducted on June 29,2015,by a gang of 15 gunmen on his way from his late brother’s wake at the family compound in Nsit Ubium, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Narrating his ordeal, Essiet said his troubles are not unconnected with a transaction to bring into the country a Mach truck from America for an acquaintance. According to him, “the individual refused to pay him the money in full and decided rather to bring in the police to intimidate him. He explained that, “trouble started last year when one Supol Nda led members of SARS on November 29, 2014, to the venue of his First Annual Festival titled: ‘Africa Meets Reggae’ and World music at the national stadium, Surulere, Lagos. “I was attacked and seriously brutalised which led to Africa Meets Reggae losing over N200 million. I was hospitalised for months.” He said he therefore decided to seek redress in court. The Reggae legend said his abduction was hatched by the police to coincide with the first hearing of the suit slated for June 29, 2015, two days after the burial of his late elder brother on June 27. His words: “Unknown to me, the police, with instruction from AIG were planning to get me kidnapped because I sought redress in court against them and the individual whom they collaborated with, in infringing on my fundamental right. This, they achieved that Saturday morning around 2:30 am. “They came in a convoy; numbering 15 with

masks on, armed to the teeth and forcefully took me away from the company of my friends and family members who were with me on our return from the wake of my late brother. I was preparing to go to take my brother’s corpse in the morning back to my village for burial.” The musician, who noted that only three of those that took him hostage were police officers while the others were civilians, said the planned kidnap turned awry because “of the press” coupled with the fact that some of those with him at the time saw their faces. The Rat Race crooner said this hostage takers therefore decided to drive him back to Lagos. “I helped an individual get a Mach truck in America, and since he didn’t have enough money to purchase the same here in Nigeria, he refused to pay me the $5,000 I put down to secure the truck for him. Instead, he gave me N150,000 which led to my dissociating from him. To avoid paying me, he decided to deal with the country (involved) directly after a year and two months without my knowledge. But when he got his fingers burnt, he came back, trying to put it on me that he gave me $86,000 for five trucks. I dare him to prove his claims in court and stop using his police friends to try to intimidate and brutalise me, get me kidnapped and killed.” Essiet stated that his attorney was threatened on the same June 29, by an unknown caller on phone not to appear in court. He said the attorney had to seek redress at the Nigeria Human Rights Commission, NHRC. He, however, stated that, “should anything happen to him or his family members and others close to him, the Police should be held responsible.”

here is something always unsettling Nigerian actress and brand ambassador, Genevieve Nnaji. It is a secreet knows this too well; which reminds us of that moment when a founding father of the United States of America, Benjamin Franklin said, “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” In Nnaji’s case, there are secrets and unfortunately, we are privy to some of these secrets, which we will share in subsequent lines. Given the amount of wealth Genevieve Nnaji has amassed over the years from open and behind-the-door deals, it is only expected that she would invest a portion of this in certain lucrative businesses but the specific structure and slant of these businesses is what has before now, remained in the dark. However, we can authoritatively tell you that Genevieve Nnaji is a very big player in the African property market. Earlier this year, there were rumours concerning the actress acquiring a $4 million home in Ghana, and is said to be situated around the Achimota area of the country. For those who might not know, Genevieve used to live in Ghana a couple of years back when she released her debut album under Ghanaian music label. Beyond Ghana, Genevieve has series of property scattered within and beyond the Lagos metropolis, which are of course, valued at staggering digits. There are some things you might already know about her; like the fact that she has two running endorsements that has made her richer (reportedly making over N200 million in the first quarter of 2014); one being her endorsement with Etisalat and the other being her deal with Amstel Malta. But do you know that one of Genevieve’s biggest aspirations is breaking into the biggest motion picture industry in the world, Hollywood. Perhaps, this can be traced to why American media queen, Oprah Winfrey once described Genevieve as the ‘Julia Roberts (star of $464 million grossing movie, Pretty Woman in 1990)’ of the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood. In 2011, the rumour mills went berserk with reports of Genevieve Nnaji emerging the new girl for the popular ‘James Bond’ franchise; a report, which died a rumour. Genevieve has however, remained true to her dreams of breaking into Hollywood. A source very close to the 35-year-old actress has revealed that she has invested her money in two new movies, which she strangely, does not want people to know about. By allowing someone front for her, Genevieve has chosen to play safe in case things do not turn out as wonderfully as she hopes they will. Well, with this, Genevieve’s secrets are no longer secrets; are they? Away from her secrets, she is arguably Nigeria’s biggest movie star alive.

Aiko, Neyo, others to perform at MAMA 2015

merican singer and songwriter, Jhene Aiko, has been announced to perform at the MTV Africa Music Awards 2015, alongside Neyo and Young Thug. Performing songs from her album, ‘Souled Out’, the American star expressed her excitement about her first ever performance in the MTV Africa Music Awards, “I am so excited about this and cannot wait to perform in the city of Durban”, she said. Other performers at the awards include Davido, Yemi Alade, Diamond Platnumz, Bucie and Cassper Nyovest. Aiko started her music career contributing vocals and appearing in several music videos for R&B group B2K. In March 2011, she made her return to music with

the release of her first full-length project, a mixtape titled, ‘Sailing Soul(s)’. On December 16, 2011, Aiko signed a recording contract with American record producer No I.D.’s record label Artium, distributed through Def Jam Recordings. In 2013, she again appeared on Big Sean’s single, ‘Beware’, also featuring Lil Wayne, which became her first Top 40 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Celebrating the evolution of African musicians by recognising contemporary artistes and trailblazers across a range of music and lifestyle categories, the MTV Africa Music Awards KwaZulu-Natal 2015, will broadcast live across Africa on MTV Base (DStv channel 322), MTV (DStv channel 130) and BET (DStv channel 129) on Saturday July 18, 2015 at 9:00PM.

From the Pulpit

Sunday July 12, 2015

You need to think success to be successful A

ll the messages, sermons and preaching of the anointed men of God be they pastors or prophets etc are meant for people to deviate from their unrighteous ways of life and tread the righteous path. Therefore, it is very pertinent for these servants of God to persistently ensure that people are corrected and told the truth. The Bible say in the book of James 5 verse 19 – 20 “My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back remember this, whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over multitude of sins”. Jesus came to bring sinners back to the righteous path and he implored his followers to do the same without being partial. In the light of the above, I want to beam the searchlight onto the men. The reason is that the world recognizes the importance of men as fathers hence a day was set aside to celebrate them. Therefore, there is need for us to talk to ourselves because the government of the day is in hands of the men. A man is the captain of the ship and if the ship should sink, the captain takes the responsibility of the mishap. What the captain requires is to command with the authority to prevent the mishap. A man that is nothing to himself would not have authority to command or a man that is always thinking or searching for something everywhere would have no authority in his mouth. What does persistent thinking do people. It causes hypertension and scattered mind. Anybody that wants to be rich does not think too much. He thinks little and ensures that his thought comes to reality. But a person who is to be poor would always be in doubt if his thought would become a reality. So the thinking of a rich man is different to that of poor man. Therefore, anyone that wants to succeed must be thinking about success all the time. Imagine several years ago, an undergraduate was organizing seminars and workshops for people in both public

Excerpts: and private sectors using materials of his lecturers and became successful. But if he was skeptical about the success of the programmes, he would not have been successful. Therefore, people do not have authority in their homes if they think too much. He would be in doubt if his wife would grant him his request. But a man who does not think too much would make his request with authority and the wife would oblige him. It does not imply that men should not think about their jobs and families,, but not to be in doubt about their thinking ng which is of a wretched man. Such man does not have authority hority in his body. Another thing that makes kes man not to have authority is inability to o uphold dignity and respect for him as a man. an. Man should reject whatever is to be rejected jected at the right time. He should starve himself because he wants to reject insult. If a man should eat food that came with insult, nsult, he does not have authority. If a woman n should bring forth food in improper manner ner with biased mind the Bible say it should ld be rejected Proverb 23 verse 6 – 8 “Do not ot eat the food of the stingy man, do not crave e his delicacies, for he is kind of man who iss always thinking about the cost. Eat and drink, he says to you but his heart is not with h you…” It does not mean the man should quarrel with the woman but utter one or two wo statements “Is this food for me? She might be raking and shouting but do not eat the food. If the man eats the food he has eaten an abomination. But if the woman is good she would come to her husband and beg. She would do the proper thing even if she used her money to prepare the food; she he would realize that her husband has authority hority. A man without authority would eat the food claiming that he owns the money used and

would not want his money to be wasted. Also when your wife is bringing forth food with frowned face do not eat the food or she winks her face do not eat the food but be calm. Do not fight but insist not to eat the food. By the action of the man, the wife would realize that her husband is a man of authority she would learn to behave properly and wisely. She would let her friends know that her husband is man of authority and does not tolerate nonsense from any woman. A man of authority would command his rich and noble wife and regardless of her mon money. A lot of women have stumbled and fall because of their pride that they are rich. They forget that it was the creator of their husbands that made them rich while they were with their husband. Therefore I implore wives that are blessed to be careful and avoid unnecessary pride to come over them because they would suffer if they leave their husbands. Be absolutely submissive to your husbands. A man of dignity must uphold his dignity and respect himself. Women are very fragile. If you do not know how to handle them then your prayers would encounter obstacles 1 Peter 3

verse 7 say “ Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers”. Men should not be callous to their wives. Do not beat your wives because you own her and authority. A man that beats his wife is a useless man. A man or a woman that always realizes his or her wrong doings and accepts correction both are good. Finally I implore every man to endeavour to have authority and be wise dealing with issues with their wives particularly and people in general.

Prophet Oloruntimilehin

‘Reason for suffering lack’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them”. The above verses are self explanatory. As we do the word of God, all these blessings shall be before us and overtake us, everything we put our hands shall be blessed. If you want to be blessed, if you want to be free from poverty, lack, suffering, etc, you must obey the totality of the word of God. You should endeavour to read and study the word of God. Do not say you don’t know it, or you do not know what the word of God says concerning what you are supposed to do. You should seek and read the word of God, listen to the teachings in order to know what God says about anything and prepare to do it. Isaiah 34: 16-17 says: “Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them 17. And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by

line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.” The passage says, ‘seek ye out’ that is you must seek after it. Do not say you don’t know the word of God or you don’t know where to find it. The injunction here is that you should look for it, read it because whatever that God says must surely come to pass whether you know about it or not. If you seek and obey the word of God on every matter, I am assuring you God will bless you in every area of your life in Jesus name. 1Chron. 28: 8 says: “Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever”. It says ‘keep and seek’ for all the commandment of God. Never you say you don’t know where to find it. The Bible says ‘look for it’ ‘search for it’ and read it for therein lies your blessing. Beloved, let us make sure we seek, read and obey the word of God so that it shall be well

with us because it is only God that can crown our efforts or give increase to every labour we engage ourselves. If God did not give us increase, no matter how we laboured, we will not be blessed. So, if God is the one to give you increase, you must know what His will is and what He says concerning what you are doing so as to attract reward of your labour. 1Cor. 3: 5-7 says: “Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase”. I want to let you know that God is the one that increases our labour and because of that we must obey Him, do His will and as we labour and sow, God will increase us in abundance in Jesus name. Psalms 75: 6-7 says: “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another”. I want you to understand that God is

the one that promotes and crowns our efforts. And because of that we must ensure we know His will, obey His word and commandment and as we do, we shall be free from lack, suffering and diseases in Jesus name. So as a result of lack of knowledge of what the will of God is, many people are suffering, many people are being destroyed and that is why we must make sure we know and do it. Hos. 4: 6 says: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children”. If you do not know what you are supposed to do and go ahead to do contrary thing, lack and destruction will become your portion. When you say you do not know the word of God and thus will not do it, the Lord will not exonerate you from the punishment, His word must come to pass regardless of what you think or know. But if you go seeking what the Lord says in a particular thing and do it, He will bless you in Jesus name.

esus is well known worldwide for his ability to teach and perform unexplainable miracles. While some people believe in his message of the kingdom, many reject him and his message. There are many things in his life that are extra ordinary, different and special to any other person in this world. He is considered the greatest spiritual leader in the world and worshipped by millions of people around the world. He said, ‘’…I will build my church….’’Matt 16:18 and without him there will be no Christianity. The Bible told us that God created man and placed him in a garden full of beautiful things to satisfy him and also gave him a specific instruction on what not to eat but the man and his wife were persuaded by Satan to disobey God. So, man fell out with God, then there must be reconciliation to bring back the relationship that is broken by this disobedience. ‘’For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’’ Rom 3 : 23. Bible confirmed that ‘’ without shedding of blood there will be no remission of sin’’. God therefore decided to send his Son – Jesus to save the world from total condemnation. We learned from the Bible that, ‘’ When the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law to redeem those under law that we might receive the full rights of sons’’. Gal : 4 :4-5. There are many bible passages that confirm the main purpose of Christ on earth. ‘’ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life’’. Jn 3:16. ‘’ For the Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost’’. Mk 19 :10. To perform this act of redemption, Jesus Christ even though he never committed any sin, must stand in place of the man that commits sin and pay with his life. The Old Testament prophet prophesied,

The truth is Jesus died and resurrected ‘’….But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon him….’’ Is 53 : 5. We should appreciate that Jesus left the beauty and the glory of heaven to come to this contaminated world to save man. He left heaven to achieve a purpose of God which was to cause him his life that will bring peace, comfort and salvation to everybody that believes in him. So, while on earth to prove his deity that he is God who became man for a purpose, he ‘’healed all who were under the power of devil Acts 10: 38; raised the dead Mk 5:41-42; healed demonpossessed man who was also blind and mute Matt 12:22; he walked on water Matt14:25; he fed over five hundred hungry people Mk 6:35-40; he rebuked winds and water that threatened the lives of his disciples and the winds obeyed him Lk 8:22-25.’’ His teachings and all the miracles he performed proved that he has authority from God to confirm his uniqueness. The history of his life which included his death and resurrection has been the source of academic argument between Christian theologians and liberal theologians. While Christian theologians believe in every word in the Bible which I always refer to as the mind of God, liberal theologians who secularize the word of God believe that there are few things in the Bible that are difficult to believe and explain. They do not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. They see him as an ordinary man just empowered by God to perform some miracles while on earth and that at his death, he lost all his power. This teaching is called ‘’Docetism’’ in theology. They think that it is impossible for a man to die and resurrect. It is my wish to tell you and also prove the truth that Jesus Christ actually died and resurrected as he predicted.

Jesus is here to fulfill a pre-determined plan of God on earth – he must shed his blood to atone the sin of man; man must believe in this atonement; accept Jesus as his Lord and Saviour; confess that he is a sinner and receive a new life through a re-birth produced by the presence of Holy Spirit in his life. God allowed his Son to go through the suffering and pain of death for his purpose. Jesus was arrested while praying in the garden of Gethsemane with his disciples. Judas one of the twelve disciples came with a large crowd armed with swords and clubs from the chief priests and elders of the people to arrest him. He was taken to Caiaphas, the chief priest where some teachers of the law and elders had assembled. They brought evidence against him with many false witnesses who demanded for his death. This is to confirm that Jesus was arrested, questioned about his authority and confronted by witnesses who brought false testimonies. He was finally sentenced to death not because he was guilty but to fulfill the prophecy of the Bible. ‘’ Yet it was the Lord’s wish to crush him and cause him to suffer….’’ Is 53:10. He was handed over to the governor’s soldiers who took him to a place called Golgotha which means the place of the skull. There they brutalized him, assaulted him and hurled insults at him. The Bible said that he was nailed to the cross and there, ‘’ he gave up his spirit’’ Matt 27 :50. Joseph of Arimathea demanded from Pilate, the governor, the lifeless body of Jesus Christ, ‘’ wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and placed it in his own new tomb that he had carefully prepared for himself. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away’’. Matt 27:59-60. The chief priests and Pharisees demanded from Pilate that the tomb

should be securely guided because they knew that Jesus predicted his resurrection after death. Pilate said to them, ‘’ Take a guard, go, make the tomb assecure as you can know how’’. Matt 27:65. The Bible confirmed that, ‘’ They went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.’’ Matt 27 :66. The third day after the death of Jesus Christ, he rose up because the big rock was rolled away and his body had disappeared. There are many sides to this story as it was believed that some women early in the morning went there and found the stone already rolled away while another story was that he rose up and ‘’appeared first to Mary Magdalene out of whom he had driven seven demons’’ Mk 16:9. There are reliable evidences to prove that he resurrected and appeared to his eleven disciples when they were eating and showed himself to Thomas. Many saw him on Mount Olive before he finally ascended into the sky. There is no doubt that the Bible confirmed what he told his disciples about himself. ‘’ This is what is written. The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day’’.Lk 24:46. Modern civilization and liberal education has introduced and encouraged secularism. What I have proved here is that Jesus is God who became man, suffered for the sin of man, shed his blood to redeem man, died on the cross, buried and the third day he resurrected. There are some historical-legal evidences that confirmed that Jesus actually died and resurrected. •Prof. Kunle Macaulay is the Director of Studies of United Bible University, Lagos.

Don’t become an ingrate (2) en him because of his father in-law loving kindness to him.

Bear in mind that his father in-law later on paid a visit to him and discovered the onerous he was performing which his father in-law considered arduous and heart breaking. Through father in-law’s advice, administration of justice and structure of the judiciary were well established. (Exodus 18:5-26) The article will not fail to make mention the couple’s relationship. I have some husband who sponsored their wives to have his/her education to meet their standard but turned out later to become ingrates by fidgeted with another men on excuse their benefactors are either too old, not handsome or have no enough time for them. Whoa, in your mouth!. They were not blind when the marriage was being consummated nor being. Forced to the marriage by their

parents. (Romans 7:2-3, 1Corithians 7:45). Some wives also helped their husbands, especially in time of tribulation only to marry another woman/women when the tribulations were over. Malachi 15 and 16 says: ‘’Therefore take heed to your spirit and let none death treacherously against the wife of his youth’’. Don’t become an ingrate First, it leads to untimely death. It is everyday occurrence to hear in electronic or newspaper how a husband kills his wife or vice versa ‘’whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from his house proverbs 17:13. Second, it may draw people away from such a person which can make him object of attack. (Judges 18:5-10). Fourth, it leads to ridicule. The moment people know you to be an ingrate they make ridicule to of you which

cause you depression and eventually sickness. ‘’A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken heart/Spirit drives the bones’’ Proverbs 17:22. Finally, it hinders prayer. If you have anything against your benefactor please reconcile with him/her as there is tendency that you can still gain more from him. ‘If therefore them bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift’’.

MOMENT OF MIRACLES with Pastor W.F

Kumuyi Hebrews 11:23-26

ecisions determine destiny! Our decisions have far-reaching effects on us and many others. The decisions of the parents of Moses had effect, not only on the family but on the whole nation of Israel. And the decision of Moses! We would not have heard anything about him but for his choice, his decision. Because of his decision, Israel was delivered from bondage, God’s covenant with Abraham was fulfilled, God’s power was made known to Egypt and the world, divine revelation in written form has become available to the whole world, etc. Our decisions reveal who we are and also determine how useful or useless we would be in life. Our decisions determine where we shall spend eternity.

Some seemingly simple and unimportant decisions have great consequences. When decisions are taken in fear, unbelief, or because of negative reaction, revenge and frustration, we may unknowingly be committing spiritual suicide. Every decision would be taken in faith. There will be no regrets when we take all our decisions with God. Take no decision without God.

here is balm in Gilead. And I am not speaking rhetoric and I am not speaking to lift up your faith because, if you don’t have faith, you won’t come here. I am speaking to make you angry in the spirit and if you get angry, the bullet that will come out of your mouth will be a bomb. There is no problem without expiry date but there is no alternative to prayers don’t say you have gone every where and you have done all you should do but no solution. We must keep on praying and believing as Christians because we are entitled to deliverance. I am talking to Christians. How many Christian are here? This is because when Jesus hung on the Cross, what was the last word he uttered? It is finished. Concerning that bondage, what did He say? It is finished. Concerning that curse, what did Jesus say? He said, it is finished. And if it is finished, then it is a legal fact that it becomes a basis for us to go to the judgement seat and present and matter concerning any case because Jesus has declared them finished. There is always a Moses behind the desert and the message to that nonsense Pharaoh, Goliath, shrine and curse is; let my people go! No, the message is not just let my people go!

The decision of faith The parents of Moses were married at a difficult time in Egypt. And Moses was born when there was an edict to destroy all male infants. The parents hid the child for three months. When it became impossible to continue hiding the child, they took another decision – a decision of faith. Moses was preserved, Israel was delivered, the world was blessed! 1. Protection received by faith Hebrews 11:23; Exodus 1:16,22; 2:1-10; Acts 7:18-21; Hebrews 13:6; Psalms 56:4; 118:6; Isaiah 51:7,13,15,16; Psalm 91:1-5. Our decisions either bring God on our side or make Him to be against us. Decisions of faith shield and protect us from Satan while decisions of unbelief expose us to Satan and his agents. “Another king arose, which knew not Joseph” (Acts 7:18). This new evil king made a law that the male infants born to Israelites should be killed. “They cast out their young children, to the end they might not live” (Acts 7:19). It was at this time Moses was born (Acts 7:20). Why didn’t the parents act in fear and surrender their child, Moses, to be killed under the cruel edict? “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents... And they were not afraid of the king’s commandment” (Hebrews 11:23). The parents of Moses received divine protection for the child because they acted in faith. The strong, spiritual, supernatural faith they had in God strengthened and sustained their hearts in the crisis. Their faith in God overcame the fear of man. Faith enables us to look away from human terrors, and to put our

trust in the unseen, invisible God (Psalm 27:1). In times of persecution, the promises of God are our great protection. If we believe in God, all the laws which men make against the promises that God has given to His Church are doomed to certain failure. “Be not afraid, only believe” (Mark 5:36). 2. Prestige rejected by faith Hebrews 11:24; Exodus 2:10; Acts 7:21-23; Philippians 3:4-8; 2 Corinthians 8:9;Philippians 2:6,7; Psalm 84:10. There are some bold decisions that can only be taken in faith by those who see the great spiritual heights that God is calling them to. To reject such privilege and prestige as Moses rejected demands real faith in God. Carnal reasoning could have said, ‘Why not accept to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter and use the position to reform Egypt? Why not use this royal privilege to lessen the oppression of the Hebrews? Why not accept the prestige of being called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter so as to escape much affliction and suffering?’ Only bold faith in God can make us reject Satan’s scholarship to greatness. A man is known by his choice – by his decision. You cannot know a man fully until you know what he accepts or rejects by faith and his conviction in God. Our spiritual life, faith, maturity can be measured by our daily decision. Faith views eternity to come and rejects the privileges and prestige of this passing world that will soon fade away. Moses knew that God preserved him to deliver Israel from Egypt. To remain in Egypt’s palace when God wanted him to lead Israel out of Egypt will be unbelief and disobedience to God. Some people find

it difficult to make the sacrifices (self-denial and separation from the world) that Christ requires because they have no faith. Believe as Moses believed, and you will find it easy to decide and choose as Moses did. 3. Pleasure refused by faith Hebrews 11:25,26; Acts 7:23,24; Ruth 1:11-18; 2:11,12; 2 Samuel 15:19-23; Acts 20:23,24; Romans 16:3,4. “Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season” (Hebrews 11:25). There is faith that conquers the flesh, faith that conquers the world. The decision to refuse the pleasure of the flesh in Egypt, relinquish a high position in the palace, renounce power in the greatest empire at that time, resist the pride of lifeand reject prosperity that could have made him blind to God’s call upon his life, was a decision of faith. Living faith in God makes us to forsake all the things the world holds dear. Moses weighed what Egypt had to offer against what God offered. He considered God’s offer in the light of eternity and saw that it was infinitely superior in every way. There is both a negative and a positive side of the decision of faith of Moses. First, a “refusing”, then a “choosing” (Hebrews 11:24,25), and that order is unchanging. It is our refusal of the things of the world and our choosing the things of the Lord which identifies us as true children of God. And this is all by faith. Living by faith, we faithfully keep the things of eternal value in view. Continued next week

There is a balm in Gilead (2) the commonest problems we encounter in that of people under the bondage of marine spirit, demon wife and husband. And in the course of preparing for the programme, we had to fight battles. And because we saw this, we were excited because we knew something was happening in the realm of the spirit and something will happen here today. What is giving s the confidence to mat on? Our confidence is in rev. Chapter 12:1011. Open it Amen Are we there? And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. The accuser of the brethren brings accusations against us before God as to the reason he must keep holding and tormenting you and keeping you under his bondage. Why? God works by principle. What is he accusing you of ? He says you are a fornicator, therefore, you are a sinner; he says you are a fraudster and you are calling on the name of the Lord; he says you are a murderer because you committed several abortions; that you have caused people to suffer and you are therefore wicked. But that was who I was before, I gave my life to Christ,. This is why I said this deliverance is for the children of God. And if a man be in Christ, he is anew creature, old things are passed away. And when Jesus said it is finished, it remained finished. And for every problem that has a beginning, today is the end. That nonsense

disturbing you started one day and it is not going to last forever. So whatever has been disturbing you, it started one day, today is therefore the end of it in Jesus mighty name. Whatever he is accusing you of ? A song writer wrote; You ask me why I’m happy So I’ll tell you why, Because my sins are gone; And when I meet the scoffers Who ask me where they are I say my sins are gone. Chorus They’re underneath the blood On the cross of Calvary As far removed as darkness is from dawn In the sea of god’s forgetfulness. That’s good enough for me, Praise God, my sins are gone. Whatever the accuser of the brethren reminds you of or accuses you of when he comes, we have an overcoming power as shown in verse 11 of Rev. 12. And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved snot their lives unto the death. He overcoming power is the blood of Jesus Christ. The overcoming power is also the life that we live and as Christ says, the prince of this world cometh but he finds nothing in me. Nothing to accuse him of! Once you are a Christian, the devil will be following you to accuse you; the sins that you committed and the ones you are committing that should make god not to answer your

prayers. He keeps reminding god of the things you are doing contrary to His word so that God will not answer your prayers. Once you give your life to Christ, if your deliverance must last, then you lifestyle must change because god is not a magician; He works by His principle. Without holiness, no man will see God. And if god is not around you, a spirit must be around; either the Holy Ghost or a shrine, I am telling you this because certainly, somebody will receive his deliverance today. And when the bible says, we overcome by the blood of the Lamb; it is taking us to the Cross of Calvary where the matter was legally settled. A sister sent me a text tat a spirit is accusing her, that the spirit paid her price to her mother, so the spirit keeps telling her she cannot leave. I don’t know what a spirit paid over you to keep you in perpetual bondage and frustration and it is a common thing. Some parents will make a vow; that if the spirit gives them a child and the child stays alive they will bring the child back to the spirit. After the child was born, they will now go to the river and dedicate him. That spirit will now be making claim over the child and the only way to solve the problem is to return what was paid. In most cases, the person may not even know what was paid so how will he return it? But our god knows what was paid. Hallelujah. Blessed be the name of the lord. •Pastor Moses Alu; The Bride Assembly, Odofin Park Estate, Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, Ijesha Bus stop 08033524903 : Email: pastormosesalu@yahoo.com

Commanding the Supernatural by the Power of the Tongue! (2) T The voice of wisdom o

with Dr. David

Oyedepo

ast week, we began this teaching series with the understanding thatuntil we catch our real picture from God’s Word, we will be subjected to the hazards in the world. We also learnt that we are heavenly citizens on ambassadorial missions on the earth to reconcile the world to God.As such, what molest others cannot come near us. This week, we willfurther examinewhat redemption guarantees us:

• From scriptures,we understand that we are redeemed to command supernatural breakthroughs: Everyone who is born again is a spirit being and born as a sign to his world. That is, he is born to live the supernatural (struggle-free) life, which is the natural estate of every child of God.

nd I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my father hath appointed unto me; that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel” Lk. 22:29-30).

The activities of the Church, bearing sway over the souls of men would surely bring the administration of the kingdom of God on the earth. This is the desire of God since the time of the first Adam. As earlier mentioned in my previous thought last week, kingdom has existed upon the earth before the Church. If Church would therefore, own the kingdom as promised to her by God, Church will have to contend with the existing kingdom in combat. An example of such need was sighted in Israel case (Deut. 2:24), where, though God had promised them some territories as an inheritance but they were required to contend with the tenant in battle. It is consequently, necessary for Christian world to double their activities, and begin to exert an influence over the illegal occupants of the kingdom of this world. What the Church required thus, is another system, much superior to the present system of this world as unconventional. The Kingdom of God is not about gold and silver; it is more precious than that. The kingdom of God is entirely different from the kingdom of the earth. The kingdom of the world lord things over their servants, but he that must lead or become the king in this kingdom must learn servant hood (Matt. 20:25-27). In other words, worldly pre-eminence, greatness and affluence are not the index to determine God’s kingdom on the earth. Oppressive domination, show of material comfort and stupefying wealth of this world, are not the hope of the kingdom of God. The hope of the kingdom of God is characterized in service,

As it is written:That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit (John 3:6-8).However, we must engage our tongues to command the supernatural. The highlighted scripture above“...And thou hearest the sound thereof....”helps us to understand that it takes “the sound” to command “the signs”. Again, we sawin scriptures howthe disciples went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word they spoke (their sounds) with signs following. These help us to know thatit is making appropriate sounds (the use of our tongues) that puts us in command of the signs (Mark 16:20). However, it is important to know that no matter how anointed an individual, a closed mouth hinders the flow of the supernatural. For instance, when Judas went in the

company of men to arrest Jesus, the Bible records: Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground(John 18:4-6). In another account, theBiblespoke of Christ in prophecy and the price of redemption from Isaiah 53:7, saying:He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Jesus the most anointed, the living Word of God sent as a sign, was oppressed and afflicted because ‘He opened not His mouth.’ That means no matter our level of anointing, if we do not open our mouths to utter words of authority against our situations and circumstances, we stand the risk of being oppressed and afflicted.But that will not be your portion in Jesus name! Are you born again? This means, have you

accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord? If you haven’t, you can do so as you say this prayer: “Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. Deliver me from sin and satan to serve the Living God. Today, I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You Jesus for saving me! Now I know I am born again!” For further reading, please get my books: Releasing The Supernatural, Walking In The Miraculous, Commanding The Supernatural.

Church as God designed it - The burden of the kingdom and the throne of Christ on earth (2) in contending for righteousness to reign and in obedient to the counsel of God to thrive on the earth. In this kingdom, the governor rule solely for the good of the flock, with no self seeking or self serving. There is absolutely no private interest but all must be for the interest of the great Potentate of the kingdom. If Christ is the only potentate, it is therefore instructive, that our assignment as His followers is to enforce His dominion, authority and supremacy in all the earth. Functionality with effective impact in this quest, demands you to eat and drink at the Lord’s Table. The bread of His word and the drink of the Spirit empower your skill in battle. For the purpose of clarity, Apostle Paul made this statement; “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved of men (Rom. 14:17-18). The controversy on what constitute the kingdom of God in a society made up of Jews and Israel but living together in common faith was obvious amongst believers in the days of Paul in the city of Rome. These were people of different backgrounds with all kinds of mentalities. The problem of definition of the kingdom of God is as real in our days as it was then. The kingdom of God is a comprehensive phrase, denoting the sovereignty and supremacy of Christ over all things here on earth. It is captured in the operation of the kingdom of heaven, presided by Christ here on earth where the nature and the life style of the spirit become a common place for all. It is about firmness of character but with meekness and lowliness of heart in submission to the project of God on earth. It is not liberty to do what you please but liberty to do what is pleasing to God.

The external observance of the kingdom of God in man is not in the appearance with opulent effect of garments, suits, cars, houses and material things of the earth. It is seen in the meekness and eagerness to learn God and to submit to His will (Matt. 5:3). Therefore, the kingdom of God does not constitute prosperity messages where men become the managers of the resources of the earth but constitute a message where Christ becomes master over the souls of men. The visible embodiment of the kingdom life is obvious in attitude towards the extension of the reign of Christ in the souls of corrupt people of the world. Bringing light to the dark world and reconfiguring them for master’s use is the manifest operation of the kingdom in an average Christian people. Basically, character is the ingredient, while godliness is the validation. In contentment to what is pleasing to God, the apostles ran the race of the kingdom. Without the luxury of cars, air travels and cruise on the water, they compassed the land and the sea with one message – “Repent the kingdom of God is at hand”. They fought the beasts in Asian, confronted the kings in Rome and beat the kingdom in Europe to spread the kingdom of God in all the earth. They were the men in which the world is not worthy of them. “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Mat. 6:10). The kingdom of God consists of men and women who are brought under the hearty subjection of the rules, authority and dominion of God here on earth. It is an inward reality of purity, submission and daily fellowship with God through the blood of atonement. Such people have the boldness of salvation as their rewards. They are the conquerors of evil and triumph in the grace of God to the overflowing joy even

in the midst of adversity. The benefits of peace, tranquility and the assurance of God’s presence becomes their confidence in circumstantial walks on the earth. They are the representative of Messiah, who stands in for him to execute judgments and administer light to those in darkness. They transmit from heaven to the earth and foster the counsel of heaven upon the earth. What the kingdom people does is to enforce the will of God on earth. The word enforcement brings another dimension of the kingdom. It is not an expedition of swords or guns, no, not with carnal weapons. Apostle Paul captured it better in his letter to Corinthians; “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds” (2 Cor. 10:3-4). Kingdom fight is not a carnal warfare. The reality of this warfare is not entailed in flesh and blood but in our warring against the prince of the air who orchestrated men unto rebelliousness. The wrong doctrines, teaching and believe systems have set men apart from God. The active weapon to contain this, is the gospel of truth which is the gospel of the kingdom. Men must learn Christ before they can learn God. Men must know Christ before they can know God. The revelation of God is by Christ and only He can give us the knowledge of God. It is therefore, required, that the needful weapon is the weapon of truth. Truth is sufficient in the Holy Spirit and the brim of the Holy Spirit will unveil truth to man and establish the kingdom of God on the earth. This is the design of the Church. •Pastor Bola Bello – The Priesthood House, bolabelo@gmail.com 08033704564

Enemies of divine lifting (1)

very good thing naturally attracts attacks. Divine lifting is not an exception. The devil always fights good things especially when such things come from God for the good of His people. Whatever comes from God magnetizes oppositions from the devil but such oppositions do not have the power to annul the mission of God behind His projects. Divine lifting is the project of God for His people. When God lifts you up or whenever He is about to lift you up, there are forces that fight such lifting. Those forces operate as ordered and directed by the devil. Some of those forces are meant to pull you back to square one and even to the zero level. I called them spiritual gravitational forces. The fullness of their joy lies in your emptiness. They always want to see you being emptied of honour and favour. I see those enemies of divine lifting as reducing agents. They reduce the finances of men; they reduce the good quality of health that God’s people should naturally have enjoyed as their heritage; they reduced men from the pinnacle of prosperity to the pit of poverty. Those forces are interested in your backwardness. They are enemies of your lifting. Those forces rejoice when you are in sorrow. They celebrate whenever you are frustrated. They are interested in seeing your grave and seeing you being pummeled by poverty. The mission of these Pull-HimDown forces is to see you in permanent lack. The devil is the root sponsor of such oppositions and his diabolic aim is to deny you of the destiny that God has prepared for you. The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Bishop Opayinka

John 10:10 The above scripture clearly shows the content of the devil’s agenda against mankind. The devil has three main point agenda. His satanic policies and onslaughts against the children of God are all within these three points agenda. These agenda of the devil are: stealing, killing and destruction. The summary of demonic attack against your divine lifting is primarily fought through these agenda. His aim is to steal the divine lifting that is meant for the children of God. The devil is out to destroy and scatter the divine lifting that God has prepared for His Children. He wants to kill you before the arrival of your joy. The devil wants to steal your prosperity and give you poverty. He wants to steal your health and replace it with his satanic sickness. The devil is interested in scattering your God given opportunities and opendoors in order to close the doors of opportunities at you thereby making you to struggle and sweat when you should have enjoyed. The aim of this chapter is to open our eyes to see and know the actual enemies of our lifting. The devil is that enemy. Every other

thing that opposes us is the channel of the devil’s attack. The devil is the actual enemy against our divine inheritance. However, there are people that fight their own divine lifting through their ignorance. Some of the people in this category indulge themselves in some certain things that are centered on moving them away from the principle of God. We shall discuss in detail some of the devil sponsored attack against our lifting as well as the ones that are self sponsored. Some of those points are explained below. 1. The Power of The Grave Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves. Ezekiel 37:12-13 Some people are kept in the grave of the enemy. The satanic objective behind this is to make men smell in life. The power of the grave is the evil force that makes people’s destinies stink and smell. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them, loose him, and let him go. John 11:43-43 Lazarus was the only male child in his family. He was ordained by God both to project and preserve their family’s name and dynasty since his two sisters would get marry and abdicate the family’s name for the name of their would-be husbands. Lazarus had a beautified destiny but death struck through the power

of the grave. The power of grave brought him down to the grave by way of stopping him from climbing to the top of the throne that God had created for him. Thank God for Jesus! When Jesus showed up, he brought him out of the grave. He delivered him from the power of the grave and brought him to the domain of the destiny that God prepared for him. Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. John 12:1-2 He came out of the grave and was latter found at the high table. He became a VIP, a Very Important Person you may say. The power of grave could not hold him captive. Divine lifting ensures that you are not tight to the grave. Divine lifting ensures that, you are totally loosened from any power that torments you. No grave can hold a lifted man. The power of grave will never have effect on the man that enjoys divine lifting. Divine lifting provokes unthinkable deliverance. Divine lifting makes things work for you. Divine lifting makes you overcome every force that fights you. Until you are lifted up, you will not stop being at the bottom. Divine lifting shows you the road to the top.

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

Timothy 48 Godliness is profitable To live an ungodly life is living an unprofitable life. Your greatness in life is tied to Godliness. When you live in sin

What is temptation: Temptation is not sin, but temptation is the open door to sin. Temptation is Satan effort is a way to persuade you to sin. Temptation is a way to lure you to sin. Temptation come to all but not all escape temptation. Not everyone is a victim of Temptation. 1 Corinth 1013 – Temptation. Every one is open to temptation but not everyone fall a victim. Temptation is not sin but it is an open door to sin. Temptation is pleasurable. The enjoyment of temptation is for a moment. HOW DO YOU OVERCOME TEMPTATION 1. II Timothy 221 – You must accept responsibility. Don’t do it the way they do it. You don’t have to be corrupt in an environment that is corrupt. 2. The Power of Fasting Isaiah 586-8 Fasting is an escape route for temptation. Fasting empowers you. Matt 2641 Temptation leads to the works of the flesh. Everytime you fall into the temptation of the flesh you fall a victim of the flesh. Matt 1721 – The bad habit will not go except by fasting and prayer. Fasting helps you, he brings you to God’s frequency. Fasting empowers you to put your resistance. When you are not fasting, your immunity is weak.

The devil wants you to fall He wants you to disobey God Righteousness exalt a nation but sin is a reproach. According to the word of God in the book of Luke 8 Verse 13 “They on the rock are they which when they hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. Many Christians when they are believing God for a particular thing at the time they are asking for that thing you see them. They are always obedient, but the moment they get what they want, they will not listen to instructions again neither will obey God’s instruction. So many believers in the event of trying to be smart, they will be giving God’s word an interpretation that will suite their urge. The truth of the matter is no man can hide under a hinge. You can only deceive yourself but you cant deceive God. Every position that sin places a man is to bring him down. There is nothing that the devil do via sin, he will naturally attach a condition with it. When you sin, you will sink but before you sink you will stink. The moment a believer fall into the temptation of the flesh. You will fall like a pack of card. It is a believer that has the fear of God that will do things right when nobody is there, that will still look at his or herself as if someone is beside him or her watching that is a man or a woman that has overcome temptation. One of the instruments you can as well

use to overcome sin is the instrument of faith. James 12-3 says “My breathren count it all joy when you fall into diverse kind of temptation, knowing that the trying of your faith, worketh patience. Most Christians fall into temptation because they are not patient with God. In most cases our ladies in the Church when they are old enough to Marry, while they are waiting for a man to come into their life, instead of them to wait until after their wedding, they would have fell into the tricks or antics of the man by sleeping with the man on several occasions and after giving birth to a child or two the man will change and will now chase them out, why because they have little faith that it is too late. There is no time that is too late for God if you have faith, one can be patient. Impatient has destroyed so many great destiny. They allow themselves to be tempted by the Devil via sin and they crash land, Listen someone reading my message you will not crash-land in Jesus Mighty name. Even Jesus in his ministry he passed through so many temptations. There is no living being that the devil cannot tempt and most often Satan uses what you love most to destroy one. You can also overcome temptation when you watch the Kind of Company you keep. You must know the kind company you keep. You must know the kind of friends you relate with, the kind of family you relate with. In the book of Micah 7 verse 1 to 5, but

Pastor Bamidele

in verse five the bible says, “Trust ye not in the friend, put ye not confidence in a guide, Keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bossom. Listen it is the company you keep that determines how far you go in life, when you keep a wrong company you can be led to temptation. There areas as a behavior that you must not be found. There are people among your Friends and relations in the journey of your life that you don’t need. It is not everybody that you must take into the Ark of your destiny. Look at the man called Noah, he started well as the bible made reference to him in Gen 6 Verse 8 that Noah found favour in the sight of the Lord and at the peak of his success in Gen 9 Verse 21 the bible says. “and he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he was uncovered with his tent. Most people crash at the peak of their success in life. May the Lord help us to overcome temptation of life in Jesus Mighty name. •For counselling, contact: Pst_lai@yahoo. com.

Continued from last week Both are tormenting and nerve-wracking. A smart wife will not nag, they are diplomats, not war-secretaries. So the screen door needs fixing, is it better to nag or to say, “Honey, while I am fixing supper - and it is one of your favorite dishes - why don’t you fix the screen door?” Maybe the best way is: simply to arrange to have it fixed. It would be a lot better and safer than nagging. Let me say something straight from the shoulder: Most quarrels in families would be eliminated if the husband and wife were as kind and polite to each other as they are to strangers for whom they care very little! Think it over! Why do we want to be cruel to the one we love the best? Nothing can cut nor leave as much of a scar as a sarcastic word or jibe. “The law of kindness is on her tongue!” You may not have a figure like Miss Nigeria but, if you have a good word to say about others, you are quite a girl. 10. Last, but most important, She is spiritual. Verse 30 literally reads, “A woman who reveres the Lord will be praised.” An ideal woman is one who measures up to God’s standards must be a God-fearing, Christian woman. All of what I have said is important but none of it is as important as this last requisite. A woman without respect for God can never be the helpmate God intended her to be. How can she be a partner

means, saying “sorry” melts the annoyance of the offended. (prov.15:11) ii. “by long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone” (prov.25-15) iii. “I will he make many supplications unto thee? Will he speak soft words unto thee? David said: “for I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin (psalm 38-18). He made this statement in acknowledgement of his sin. In other words, he was asking God for mercy and pardon. Another version of that passage (psalm 38-18) put it this way, “surely, I will confess my iniquity; I am anxious because of ma sin” The living Bible says, “I confess my sins; I am sorry what for I have done.” The revise standard version: “I will confess my iniquity: I am sorry for my sin” And the new international version says, “I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin”. The word sorry could be liken to “repentance” Repentance or Sorry In Action “And the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and “Said unto him, there were two men in one city; the one rich and the other poor. The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: But the poor man had nothing, save one little Ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; It did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. And there came a traveler unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock of his own herd to dress for the way faring man that was come unto him.

And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man hath done this thing shall surely die. And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he had no pity .And Nathan said to David, Thus are the man. Thus saith the Lord God Of Israel I anointed thee King Over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of isreal and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. Wherefore hast thou deposited the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? Thou hast killed Uriah the hittittle with The sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hat slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. Thus saith the LORD, behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

How to be a good mother (2) with God in training her children for their place in life without faith in God? Without God she will rear pagans. She must have faith, ideals and a purpose in life that makes her life worthwhile. She must have conviction and steadfastness. In addition for a mother, 1. Be patient and hold your temper:- It can be challenging to avoid yelling and every mother will yell at one point or another. Don’t beat yourself over it; simply aim to do better next time. Parenting is truly a test of patience, and if you can be patient, it will be both good for your child and you. By increasing your patience, you can be a great teacher and example for your children. 2. Be supportive:- Studies have shown that children with supportive and warm parents can cope better with adversity and do better at cognitive tasks when they are older. 3. Be understanding:- Take the time to be a good listener and an understanding parent. As your children grow up, it will help them greatly to know that they can go to you for anything whether it is homework help, friendship advice, or even information about transitions like puberty. 4. Communicate with them:- Be sure to frequently communicate with your children. Get to know everything about them including their actions, thoughts, loves, and hates. These tips can help you communicate: Be available at the times your child is most likely to talk. Start a conversation so they know you care about them, and try to start with things that you are thinking about instead of questions. Schedule a time once a week to spend oneon-one time with your child.

Get interested in your child’s interests. Show interest but don’t be intrusive and focus on your kid’s feelings. If your child is concerned about something, show you care by listening to them 100 per cent without distractions. Respond after your child finishes talking. Share your opinion but make sure your child realises that it’s fine to disagree. 5. Cultivate mutual respect:- By earning your child’s respect, you will help him learn to respect himself. Without respect your child won’t be able to value himself, making him more likely to mistreat others or engage in risky behaviors such as drugs, sex, and alcohol. If your child has self-respect, he will treat himself well. He will act in a manner to further his interests, and make overall good choices. Children who are taught respect from an early age tend to be generous, caring, considerate, unselfish, happy, successful, and keep healthier relationships. 6. Spend more time with them:- When you spend time with your children, they will get many benefits: They will feel important and loved which helps them build self-worth and self-esteem. You will be a good model for behavior. Remember that children learn behavior based on the actions of those who they spend time with. You will also learn your child’s strengths as well as areas they can improve in. This will let you help them build on their strengths to reach full potential. Children and teenagers go through many stages of life and it helps to be able to talk about them. When you spend time with your child, they will be comfortable enough to talk with you.

Quality time will also strengthen your relationship as it helps build trust. 7. Buy them a gift at proper times:- Although you shouldn’t spend tons of money and give your child everything he wants, you should find a balance between that and never spending any money. Every once in a while buy a small toy or snack. Then less frequently buy a larger item that your child truly wants. Be sure to be generous during your child’s birthday. 8. Apologize when you are wrong:- Although it’s hard, you need to be able to admit to your child when you are wrong and then apologise for your actions. It will prevent everyone from getting mad and show your child that everyone makes mistakes, but it is important to apologize when mistakes do occur. If you are wrong, take the time to calm down and examine the situation to find out what exactly you did wrong, so you can explain it to your child and apologise. In conclusion, It was a good woman who nursed her husband through a long illness and one night. In the wee hours of the morning, he awakened to see her sitting by his bed, not sewing, not ministering, just sitting there. Startled, he asked what she was doing. Her reply was: “Nothing dear! I was just sitting here loving you.” I want to say, without any fear of contradiction, to any woman who has the ideals that is outlined in Proverbs 31 – “Your husband will never be sorry he married you and, if he had to do it all over again, he would marry the very same girl! •You can send in your QUESTIONS and the Holy Spirit will be set to give you the ANSWERS.

Be patient with Buhari, Ademowo tells Nigerians ODINAKA URUAKPA

iocesan Bishop of Lagos and Dean Emeritus Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) Dr. Ephrain Ademola Ademowo has enjoined Nigerians to exercise patience with the new administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The cleric gave this advice while chatting with news media after the diocesan trinity five ordination service for deacons and priests at the cathedral church of Christ, Marina, Lagos, last Sunday.

Endtime Revelation with Bishop Bernard

Ojemeni (JP)

evelation 6:1-2 “I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest”, as we saw last week is the emergence of the anti-Christ after Rapture. II Thessalonians 2:1-12 “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter— asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.” From the passage above, we understand that it is the presence of the children of Go on earth. The church through the restraining power of the Holy Spirit is what is preventing the anti-Christ from being manifested at present. Immediately after the rapture, he will ap-

He made the admonition in response to murmurings making the rounds among some Nigerians that the present has rather been slow and inactive so far. Reviewing the Buhari led government so far, Ademowo adjudged that the president had started well and right on course in his meticulous tackling of the enormous challenges facing the nation. “President Buhari is a very very through person. He is a straight as a ruler. He has started well. The man is impeccable. He cannot be corrupted. Everything is

on course. “I believe the man is going to take us (Nigeria) out of the woods”. Commenting on the controversial prosame-sex law passed in the United States of America, “I advice those impatient people who are already picking fault in the Buhari government to imbibe the spirit of patience and see that this man (Buhari) has very good plans for this country. The ever – frank clergyman has berated the passing into law of the controversial pro-same sex bill in the United States of America, describing it as a taboo, and

an anathema and an abomination in the sight of God. “You should not even imagine it happening here (in Nigeria) because this is not America. No! It is unheard of; it is unnatural. Don’t even mention it here at all because it cannot happen here. We are Godfearing. Meanwhile, a total of eleven candidates made up of six deacons and five priests were ordained into their respective offices on the occasion.

The unfolding events in the 1st 3½ years after rapture Bishop Bernard Chukwuma Mbamalu Ojemeni, General Superintendent of Endtime Believers’ Ministry Inc, in this piece, gives an insight into the New World Order. Excerpts: pear. He will come as a man of peace and the whole world will accept him in that capacity. Daniel 8:24-25 “He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people. He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.” The children of God who will miss the rapture will be destroyed by the anti-Christ and his government for failing to accept the mark of the beast – 6.6.6. (the code number) which the world-wide web – w.w.w. is standing for. It is going to be the bio-chip or micro-chip implantation in the right hand or forehead of people to qualify them to be citizens of the New World Order. It is the last stage of the cashless society or cashless policy that is taking place all over the world, including our nation Nigeria. Today, it is bank verification no. BVN. That time it will be Revelation 13:16-18 “It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.” And because the children of God who missed the rapture knew the implication of receiving the mark of the beast and so they will continue to uphold their faith in the word of God and for the testimony which they held. Revelation 6:9-11 “When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.” Those who understand among them will encourage their brethren not to give up their faith in the word of God but to endure the

killing or the torture to death – as the only option for them to make it to the altar of God in Heaven, as we can see the passage above. Daniel 11:32-36 “With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him. “Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered. When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them. Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time. The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.” The world of God said those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits. They shall hold fast their faith in the word of God and the exploits they shall do in those days is to instruct other believers not to give up because of the understanding they have. That is when they will embark on house to house visitation of their loved ones to urge them not to accept the New World Order System of cashless policy because of the spiritual implication. Accepting it means signing a death warrant. Accepting it means you will be liable to 21 plagues God will send to the inhabitants of the earth during the 2nd 3½ year of the last 7 years of this planet earth that is due to commence from 2033 – 2040A.D. according to our calculations from 6,000 years man’s earth lease for those of you who have been following my write-ups in Endtime Revelation. Apart from the 21 plagues, the person will also be cast into lake of fire which is the second death. Revelation 20:10-15 “And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.

Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.” And Revelation 14:9-12. Mark 9:43-48 “If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where ‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched”, to mention but few. After examining so many passages of the Bible concerning Hell fire, I discovered that Jesus Spoke so much about souls of men and women, boys and girls going to Hell fire if we fail to believe in Him and believe in God and live a holy life, I begin to wonder why the Jehovah Witness people go about deceiving people saying that God is so kind to cast anybody into hell fire. And that there is nothing like that. Please, hear me and hear me well, the Bible is supreme and Jesus made it clear that it is so. Jesus said nobody can witness for His father – Jehovah because you have not seen Him. That He is the only one that can witness for Jehovah because He came from Him and He has seen Him. Rather we should be Jesus witnesses. Acts 1:8 And so do not listen to such deceivers and the Bible says you should not even greet or welcome them. Be warned and be careful. Your soul is at stake if you fail to accept the truth. Accept Jesus today as your personal Lord and Saviour and come and worship with us on Sunday 9am in the address below:

Desti Destiny Hour with Pastor Femi

Lanre-Oke Genesis 17:6

A ‘

nd I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and Kings shall come out of thee’. This is a promise to Abraham and his seed. The seed of Abraham refers to those who are Israelites by blood. However, believers has gained access to this promise as spiritual Israelites- having been born by the blood of Jesus who himself was a descendant of Israel. Jesus broke down the barrier and gave gentiles the privilege to connect to the Abrahamic covenant. Now as Abraham’s seed, Christians have been included in this promise. Hallelujah! Now you can take this as God saying to you, “I will make thee exceeding fruitful”. However, before we go ahead reciting the promises let’s take a keen look on the premise on which this promise is based. Yes there is always a condition that needs to be fulfilled before promises and prophecies come to fulfilment. Prophecies don’t just come to pass they are made to come to pass. In the previous weeks we have talked about abiding in God as the essential pre requisite to bearing fruits. We would see

f you are not aware that there has been a countless age long battle going on in the realm of the spirit between light and darkness which has tremendous influence in the world of the living, then you are a sleeper. This battle is between the forces of darkness and the Angel of light. Between the saints on earth and the prince of this world. Remember that in Psalm 2:1-4 the Bible says “Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his anointed saying let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cord from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall laugh them in derision” The heathen are the agents of prince of this world. They rage against the saints. They are provoked against the saints. They hate the saints with perfect hatred; they want to destroy the saints, afflict them with diseases and sickness, deny them their rights and privileges in the society, break up their homes, cause miscarriages in their marriages, make their youths to suffer disappointments in marriages, job getting and in other areas of promising opportunities. They want their lust to be consumed in them. The prince of this world using the heathen as instruments of wickedness, hatred and persecution against the redeemed of the Lord. This battle is ongoing since the fall of Lucifer and the Angels loyal to him from their first estate. The Bible says, immediately Lucifer, the dragon with his Angels were thrown out of heaven to the earth, an angel shouted woe unto the earth and the inhabitants of the earth. In Revelation 12:12-13 “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe

Fruitfulness (4) here also that Abraham did the same thing and God was still instructing him to take it a step further. God wanted a perfect walk from Abraham. However, Abraham had one more attribute that is worthy of observation. Abraham was PATIENT. His life was well appraised in the book of Hebrews 6: 13-15 “ For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.” Abraham did all to stand and he stood, he waited on the LORD, he was patient and he obtained the promise of fruitfulness. What concerns us most in the passage of the scripture is the instruction that appeared in verse 12 of Hebrews 6 which says, “ That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” We are expected to follow those who inherit the promises through patience and a good example for this is Abraham. We could also see another example in Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. Isaac waited many years before Rebecca could give birth to Esau and Jacob. Jacob waited for 20 years before his financial fruitfulness could manifest. Joseph waited 23 years before his life could experience all round fruitfulness. So many persons are losing out on being fruitful in their careers, finance, marriage and all other areas of their lives simply due to the lack of patience. Some who even claim

to be patient sometimes give up at the edge of breakthrough. This happens to a lot of persons because the last part of the night is always the darkest. Are you in a very terrible situation in your life right now that you feel like giving up? If yes, the word for you is just to hang on. Your labour might be going on without any reward or fruit to show but keep working so long as you are doing the right thing. It is part of God’s design for man to be fruitful in all his endeavours. So when God places a demand on you to be fruitful in whatever you do, He is only calling forth what He has placed in you. Even a man cursed by God is still expected to bear fruit how much more His blessed children. Cain is an evidence, he operated under a curse, yet he built cities. Even man in his fallen state is expected to bear fruit, Adam after the fall bore fruits, his endeavours were fruitful still. Even though he was tilling the land that has been cursed by God, the true nature of fruitfulness in him still manifested. Considering all these, I think it is right to say that it is near impossible for anyone to live and die without bearing fruits. If you think you are not bearing fruits then maybe you are sowing the wrong seeds. Hence, the fruits those seeds are bringing forth are not being noticed by you because they are not what you expect to see. However, if you are confident that you are sowing the right seeds by working diligently on your life assignment then all you need is patience! As you consistently abide in God, He will

continually define and refine you for your life assignment. Your commitment to this assignment is the guarantee to your all round fruitfulness in life. However, the bitter truth is that though your fruits may tarry in coming but wait for it shall surely come. If you must be fruitful, you must be patient! Remain blessed in Jesus name. It will be an entirely wasted effort if you have followed the series on fruitfulness but you have not given your life to Jesus. He is the true vine into whom you must be engrafted in order to flourish, prosper and be fruitful in life. If you want to say yes to Jesus today, the process is simple: Believe in your heart that you are a sinner and cannot save yourself. • Believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross of Calvary paying the price for your sins and rose from the dead the third day to establish your victory • Confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord and saviour. • Repent of all sins before the Lord and forsake them. • Welcome into God’s family. Now you can enjoy and experience total wealth in Christ.

Breaking the powers of evil family altar (4) to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea, for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child? The Angel of revelation shouted woe unto the earth and the inhabitants of the earth and sea, because the dragon has come down with great wrath, knowing that his time was short. The wrath in him is what he exhibits through the heathen of Psalm 2:1, who rage against the Lord and his anointed. The anointed, are they that has been redeemed out of the pollution and corruption of this age. Whose garments has been washed by the Blood of Jesus. Can you, picture why believers go through terrible challenges persecutions and afflictions, after their redemption? This is because the dragon using their human agents, in this world persecute believers severely in other to make them loose their salvation. Verse 13 of chapter 12 of Revelation attested to this. Beloveth, are you sincerely born again, and you are going through painful persecution? Are you suffering affliction of the wicked on your health? Have they denied your right promotions, recommendations, and privileges were you work simply because you are a child of God? Have they broken, your marriage, and have taken, your husband, or wife away from you, while asking you, what can you do? Have they confiscated you property or belongings, or refused to pay you your money, just because of your faith? Have they removed you or demoted you and promoted someone else simply because your faith and believe did not agree with their conditions? Have you lost that job and or that opportunity because you turned down their request? Do not be discouraged, the Bible says he that sitteth in the heavenlies shall laugh at them. The Lord shall hold them in derision. Our God is no longer sitting complacently watching us go through this trauma, he has risen in anger to fight for us and defend us. Psalm 2 says the Lord shall vex the wicked in his sore displeasure. Time has

come when our God shall say no, to all their evil schemes against us. This is because the Lord has set his Holy king upon his Holy hill of Zion. This Holy king is Jesus exalted above all in heavens on earth and on earth beneath. The Bible says he is the Lord strong and mighty in battle. All we need to do is to go to him and ask him to equip us with power and might in the Holy Ghost to exercise dominion over the nations, and the kingdoms of the earth, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to built and to plant. When this is done, we shall ask him, and he shall give us the hearthen, for our inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for our possession. We shall rule over them in authority, breaking them with the rod of iron, and dashing them to pieces like a potter’s vessel. Psalm 2:8-9 “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with the rod of iron, thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” Dear child of God, can you see there is a battle waiting for everybody. This battle is called, the battle of life. It is a battle that involves everyone. The poor, the rich, learned, unlearned, man, woman, youths, teenagers, children, babies and even foetus in the womb. Why does this battle affect, foetus in the womb of a woman? This is because life begins in the womb. The victory and the success of everyone begins in the womb. Little wonder, the Bible says that while Esau and Jacob were still in their in mother’s womb, God said, Esau I hate, Jacob I love. Why was it so? The story had it, that the two babies fought and struggled in their mother’s womb for supremacy. However at birth, Esau came out first, with his brother Jacob having his hand on his heel. That shows that Esau, came out as the first son by providence, not because he struggled or fought for it. Then Jacob came

out after Esau, having his hand pulling the heels of Esau. Testimonies 25 Years ashmatic cough disappeared My name is Chioma. I am here with my husband.

As you can see me now I do not stand straight, it was not how I was born, but it was as the result of the attack I have received through this asthmatic cough. I have also gone to different churches, for prayers, but I have not received any cure. I have used herbal drugs still, my condition did not improve. However, I was introduced to this church by a friend. In one of the Bethsaida healing service. The man of God called out those who were sick for prayer. As he prayed and anointed us, when it came to my turn, he prayed for me and anointed me, brethren I did not know where I was. I knew I fell down, but I did not know anything again. I was told I was on the floor for over twenty minutes, before I got up. Brethren, from that day all the symptoms of the cough seized. I have stayed for more than two weeks now without using my inhaler, which was what I cannot fell to use each night before I sleep.

Oil prices may fall further GBENGA ODOGUN

WITH AGENCY REPORTS

il prices may have further fall despite stabilising in recent months - and even beginning to rise modestly - because of a massive oversupply the International Energy Agency (IEA) has said. The IEA said lower oil prices were likely to last well into 2016. The agency added that the world oil market was unable to absorb the huge volumes of oil now being produced. It follows the massive drop in prices which started last summer.

The price of Brent crude fell sharply last year from $115 a barrel in June to $45 a barrel in January. The current price of Brent crude is $59 a barrel. The fall in prices has led oil firms to cut back investment in exploration, while North Sea oil has come under significant pressure. All seven major global oil firms have also reported annual declines in profit as a result of lower oil prices. Only last month, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecast North Sea oil and gas revenues would fall to below 0.1% of GDP over the coming decades. It said the tax take from

North Sea oil and gas had already fallen by 80% in the last three years. “The oil market was massively oversupplied in the second quarter of 2015, and remains so today,” the IEA said in its monthly report. “It is equally clear that the market’s ability to absorb that oversupply is unlikely to last. Onshore storage space is limited,” it said, adding, “something has to give.” “The bottom of the market may still be ahead.” Core members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) have continued to produce

the same level of oil in the past years despite falling oil prices in an attempt to regain market share. US oil production has also soared in recent years, as fracking - or the process of extracting oil from shale rock by injecting fluids into the ground - has revolutionised oil production in the country. OPEC’s response to the fall in prices was to refuse to cut production. Many OPEC nations are able to tolerate a lower oil price despite losing money. For other nations such as Russia the lower oil price is doing substantial harm to economic growth

Last month, official figures showed the impact of international sanctions over Russia’s continued involvement in east Ukraine and the lower oil prices had led to a 4.9% contraction in the Russian economy in the 12 months to May. The IEA said OPEC crude oil production rose 340,000 barrels per day (BPD) in June to 31.7 million barrels as day, a threeyear high, led by record output from Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. It said Saudi Arabian crude oil supply rose 50,000 barrels per day to a record high of 10.35 million BPD in June, while Iraq crude oil output surged 270,000 BPD in June to its highest-ever

rate of 4.12 million BPD. However, increases in production have come just as demand for oil in economies across the world from Europe to China - the world’s second-largest consumer of oil - has slowed. The IEA trimmed its forecast for global oil demand growth this year slightly to 1.39 million BPD and said it expected global demand growth to slow to 1.2 million BPD in 2016. The agency added nonOpec supply growth was expected to grind to a halt in 2016 as lower oil prices and spending cuts take their toll. It forecast zero growth in non-Opec oil supply in 2016 after an increase of 1 million bpd in 2015.

NPA boss urges maritime stakeholders to maximise sector potential

he Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, Prince Sanusi Ado Bayero has urged stakeholders in the Nation’s Maritime Industry to collectively strive to reposition its maritime potentials as a formidable alternative to Oil and Gas in terms of revenue generation. He therefore implored stakeholders in the industry to utilize the full potentials of the industry so as to maximize its benefits; in order to stimulate the nation’s economic growth. Ado Bayero made the

call while delivering his goodwill message at the just concluded 5th edition of the Nigeria Maritime Expo, NIMAREX 2015. He noted that countries like Egypt and Singapore have fully taken advantage of and harnessed their maritime potentials to a height that has made them high class maritime nations, to the extent that that their respective economies thrive on the revenue from the maritime sector. He added that Nigeria should equally be in the same situation.

CBN to support revival of oil palm sector

arely a week after pledging support for rice farmers and processing companies in Nigeria, the Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, CON, has underscored the Bank’s determination to lead the revitalisation of the oil palm sector in Nigeria in order to provide jobs for Nigerians. Emefiele made the pledge in Abuja on Friday, July 10, 2015, during a meeting between the Bank’s management and oil palm value chain stakeholders to agree on a road map to resolve the challenges in the oil palm value chain in Nigeria.

He expressed concern at the contrasting fortunes of Nigeria from being the largest producer of palm oil worldwide in the late 1950s and 1960s, to becoming a net importer of the commodity from the 1980s to date. According to him, Nigeria currently lags behind in a distant fifth position in world production, behind countries that many years ago sent emissaries to Nigeria to learn production techniques and to get their first seedlings. Emefiele also decried the practice where huge amounts are spent to import items that could ordi-

narily be produced locally, the Governor stressed the need for all stakeholders to collaborate restore the glory days to the oil palm sector in the country. While recalling the recent policy of the CBN that excluded 41 items from being procured with foreign exchange from the Nigerian foreign exchange markets (Interbank and BDCs), Mr. Emefiele reiterated that the policy measure was introduced to help conserve Nigeria’s foreign reserves as well as facilitate the resuscitation of domestic industries and improve employment generation in the country.

He said the CBN decided to take the lead and play a major role in the resuscitation of the oil palm sector and decided to take a bold step and include Palm Kernel, Palm Oil Products and Vegetable Oils in the exclusion list of items not valid for foreign exchange at the Nigerian Foreign Exchange window. Emefiele also reiterated that the decision taken by the CBN to include palm oil products in the exclusion list was taken after a thorough analysis of the sub sector. This, he said, was taken in the overall interest of the country, for

the resuscitation of the local oil palm industry and to improve employment generation in the country. “For the country to attain self-sufficiency there has to be committed development of more estate plantations and coordinated partnerships between the small holder plantation farmers and processors,” he said. Accordingly, he said the CBN, as part of its developmental initiatives, had introduced the ‘Anchor Borrower Programme’ designed to create economic linkages between small holder farmers and processors by organizing farmers

into cooperatives to boost production and take advantages of economics of scale While enjoining all stakeholders to see the present situation as an opportunity rather than an adversity, he charged all to collaborate with the CBN to ensure that the country stops exporting jobs abroad and in the process importing poverty. It will be recalled that the CBN management last week in Abuja met with officials of State Governments and rice processing companies to strategise on increasing the low utilization capacities of rice mills in Nigeria.

Unpaid salaries: Still in defense of Governor Aregbesola ABIODUN KOMOLAFE

’m not on the payroll of Osun State Government and I’m not paid to do my usual stuff for the state that nurtured me from childhood to adulthood. Be that as it may, travail or triumphs, my desire is to see the state of my birth access the tested foundations of political and economic liberty. As a matter of fact, whatever its lot, I remain a proud indigene of this ‘Land of Virtue’ and one of the impassioned supporters of the Rauf Aregbesolaled administration, especially, in its efforts to reposition the state for a better, brighter and rewarding future.

Having said that, any keen observer on the salary palaver which has for some months been rocking the country would agree with me that Dele Momodu’s article, titled, ‘Travails of Governor Aregbesola’ (ThisDay, July 4, 2015) represented one of the fairest commentaries on Aregbesola’s government since its inauguration on November 27, 2010. Anyone who doubts the sincerity of this position had better compare Momodu’s far rarer but somewhat more credible write-up with Olusegun Adeniyi’s piece, titled ‘States of Emergency’, (ThisDay, June 18 & 25, 2015). Unlike Adeniyi, who relied on wrong, warped premise to justify a benighted intervention on Osun State’s unfortunate situation, Momodu was more articulate in his presentation in that he missed no opportunity in granting kudos where need be and spared no rod in awarding ‘knocks’ where the situation demanded. To start with, it is painfully regrettable that Osun is among no fewer than 18 states in Nigeria that are currently struggling to meet the salary needs of their workers. Event at that, Nigerians should also bear in mind that, at the inception of this adminis-

tration, Aregbesola’s ‘Freedom for all; Life more abundant’ Integral Policy thrust was clear: banishment of hunger, poverty and unemployment. Others were promotion of functional education, healthy living, communal peace and harmony. So far, so fulfilled: his word has been his bond! Being a man of history is a function of choice! The inauguration of Aregbesola as governor of Osun State signaled a break from the past characterized by gross inefficiency, unfulfilled promises, culture of blackmail, failure of state and circumspect sincerity as he brought on board catalytic ideas that quickly got the state working. Despite the complexity and the technical nature of many of the problems confronting the state, the governor rose above the clouds by taking competent decisions that effectively rescued it from becoming “a war-ravaged territory”. Notably, he grew the state’s Internally Generated Revenues (IGR) from N300million per month to about N1.3bn per month without any increase in tax payable by citizens. Tuition Fees in state-owned tertiary institutions were slashed by close to 30% as well as training and empowerment of over 5,000 youths in Information Technology through the Osun Youth Empowerment Technology (OYESTECH) scheme. Aregbesola’s administration saw to the building of police stations even as patrol vehicles, armoured personnel carriers and related security equipment were also donated to security agencies. We had Free Medical and Surgical Missions Programme as well as the construction of more than 40 Elementary, Model and High Schools. Over 3,000 permanent teachers were employed into the state education sector and all outstanding allowances and en-

titlements were paid. The advantages of network of good roads as undertaken by the governor have also been appropriately captured in Momodu’s thought-provoking piece. “True democracy”, in Irving Babbitt’s view, “consists not in lowering the standard but in giving everybody, so far as possible, a chance of measuring up to the standard.” At a time in the life of this administration, Osun was rated as among the least poorest states in Nigeria, with 37.9 per cent poverty rate. About the same time, it emerged as one of the states with the lowest unemployment rate (12.4%). Again, while Osun State is next to Lagos in terms of the size of its civil service, it is also said to be one of the highest paying of the 36 states. In fact, it is next to Lagos! This is in spite of its being among the least allocated states in Nigeria, with just about 14% of what the oil-rich Akwa Ibom State gets from the Federation Account. At the risk of sounding repetitive therefore, if the monthly salaries of Osun State’s over 350,000 staff strength hover around N3.6bn; and the state government has for over a year been taking loans to augment the less than N2.5bn monthly allocations from the Federation Account, it is commonsensical that we look elsewhere for the whipping boy. Without being immodest, close watchers of events will attest to it that our sad and unproductive past has probably made it practically difficult for Nigerians to come to terms with why leaders are chosen as well as what the shape and size of electorate’s expectations from their elected representatives should look like. Basically, while some see governance as an opportunity to ‘Come and Serve’, others merely see it as another avenue to ‘Come and Chop’. Of course, while the former

may sound believable in their promises, dedicated to humanity and committed to Nigerianness in their approach to issues of governance, to the latter, government is nothing but an investment and anyone who invests in it must be criminal in nature and time-conscious in recouping his money. For instance, ask Aregbesola’s enemies why former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola was always taking N1bn loan monthly to supplement workers’ salaries. Again, ask them if Iyiola Omisore would have wrought any magic, had he been allowed to ‘capture’ the state during the last governorship election. Indeed, you wouldn’t have been too far from why Nigeria has been this fated! This again brings to the fore the issue of Osun State’s indebtedness to the banks. Going by external debt figures from the Debt Management Office (DMO), Lagos State tops the chart of 10 most indebted states in Nigeria with $1.17bn or N233.94bn. Osun’s is N14.81bn. Essentially, therefore, if the estimated total debt of 36 states and Abuja, including unpaid salaries, currently stands at N658 billion, that is, about $3.3bn; and Lagos takes the largest chunk (N401.44bn) of it, then, that Osun State owes N480bn as is being bandied around by some all-simply-sand adversaries, certainly, doesn’t add up. In the same vein, if the capacity to borrow of each economy is a function of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Osun State’s GDP currently stands at 1.17trillion, rational minds cannot but admit that something is wrong somewhere! May the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace in Nigeria! •KOMOLAFE writes in from IjebuJesa, Osun State, Nigeria (ijebujesa@ yahoo.co.uk)

Buhari must watch out for ‘frenemies’ My point exactly!

NICK

UWERU E-mail: nickuweru@gmail.com 08182042961

owards the tail end of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, a strange realisation became manifest amongst some of his worst traducers. Wife of Mr President, Aisha Buhari, gave voice to this in one of her recent gatherings. To wit, the first lady said that the problem with her husband’s predecessor was the people around him, not Jonathan himself. She said so in Abuja while warning aides to her husband from taking bribes to allow access to President Muhammadu Buhari. The former president, himself, long admitted the truth of this in his last media chat before the polls that ousted him. This category of people on the surface appears to be like friends. Whereas by their actions and utterance they hurt the interest of the president like they were enemies. Let me designate the special coinage, ‘frenemies’ (adapted from Kyle XY, a season movie), to describe these special breed

of people who are close to Mr President and also have the priviledge of speaking for him. I am forced to draw on these events and parallels because, somehow, history appears to be repeating itself around President Muhammadu Buhari. Though many might deem Buhari slow delivering on his electoral promises so far, it is however clear to me that there is purpose behind every one of Mr President’s action as it were. But like his predecessor, his efforts may well be upended by those who elect to speak for him or interface with the public in defence of his actions or inaction. I say this having in mind the recent response of one Junaid Mohammed, a virulent Northern irredentist, while reacting to condemnations of Buhari’s choice of Daura as the new head, Department of State Security, DSS. Mohammed, over time, has demonstrated his incapability in seeing beyond the ethnic bar; even in the most mundane of all things. Ordinarily, I would have compared him to Asari Dokubo, a South-South militant warlord except that the later is more of resource control agitator. Ever ready to play the ethnic card, Mohammed drew allusions to the appointment of Daura’s predecessor, Ita Ekpeyong, recalling that his appointment to head the spook agency resulted in the retirement of 11 directors, one of them, Daura. Mohammed further went on to claim that Ekpeyong is Jonathan’s kinsman. By implication, Mohammed is saying that Bu-

hari’s appointment of Daura is tit-for-tat for Jonathan’s retirement of Daura, a man that hailed from the same town as Mr President. Let me state for the records: I have no problem with Daura’s appointment. As a matter of fact, the Daura-born spook is about the best appointment made so far by Mr President in the face of the mounting insurgency in the North. Many people may not know these: the new DG, DSS is very critical to the fight against insurgency in the North. Reason? Daura was part of the intelligence team that duly cased Boko Haram in its formative stages. In fact, the team’s submission more than 10 years ago, advised the Federal Government to stamp out the sect because five years from thence, the Islamist sect would have networked with alQaeda, making its defeat more difficult. That prediction has proved prophetic. I believe that Junaid Mohammed could have accessed these backgrounds as easily as I have to support Buhari’s choice of Daura instead of resorting to ethnic irredentism as he his wont to do. Indeed, alleging that Ekpeyong is Jonathan’s kinsman as stated by Mohammed is a manifestation of dangerous illiteracy, one too prevalent among the so called opinion moulders in the country. Ekpeyong, as far as I know is an Ibibio name. This makes him an indigene of Cross Rivers. Unless Junaid Mohammed is aware of contrary facts, Jonathan is from Otuoke, Bayelsa, an ethnic group closely related to Edoid languages. The Otuokes are in no way related

to the Ijaws both linguistically and culturally as it is being ignorantly bandied by most Nigerians. Again, Mohammed’s comment about Ekpeyong being a kinsman of the former president is a display of stark ignorance of the Niger-Delta, a region that accounts for more than 80 per cent of the resources that has sustained Nigeria for more than 50 years. I believe that if for nothing else other than the fact that the region is responsible for the economic survival of Nigeria as we know it, the likes of Mohammed should take it on themselves to learn the makeup of the region; that Niger-Delta is an amalgam of ethnic nationalities that include the Ibibio, Efik, Ogbia (Otuoke), Urhobo, Ijaw, Igbo, Yoruba and many others. Now, even aides of Mr President fall in the category of these ‘frienemies’ (friend+enemies) of Buhari. Reacting to opposition party PDP’s criticism on the seeming slow pace in governance, Femi Adesina, one of the spokesman for Mr President reacted that his principal is being hobbled by the cleaning the mess created by PDP while in governance for 16 years. ‘ My first thought after I read the release by Adesina was to recall that Mr President did promise Nigerians that he was not going to travel down this road, that is, put blame on previous administration rather than face the job of governance. My advice to my former Oga at the Sun is that he shouldn’t at all look backwards but face the future determined to help repair all the damage.

Eyebiokin

Amazing story of Eyebiokin Prayer Mountain BOLADALE BAMIGBOLA OSOGBO

ust like many other prayer mountains of note, Eyebiokin prayer mountain, Dagbolu near Osogbo, the Osun State capital, has been a place of refuge for many seeking spiritual succour from all forms of challenges. However, since its establishment about 34 years ago, the story of how the prayer mountain was discovered has been told and retold owing to its uniqueness. The mountain was discovered by seven powerful hunters, whom might not have been Christians. Eyebiokin, which can be literally translated as, “no bird like peacock”, derived its name from the lineage appraisal of the man God gave the vision to establish it, an Iloko-Ijesa-born prince, who was trained as a bicycle repairer before venturing into pastoral work. Situated on a relatively high hill of about 1,200 feet above sea level, Eyebiokin plays host to average of 5,000 people daily and about 200,000 worshippers from all parts of the world and denominations on monthly basis, who are either on spiritual pilgrimage or sightseeing. This number, it was learnt, usually increase during Sunday services and during end of the month programmes. Various churches hold several activites on the mountain. This number makes the mountain unarguably, one of the most visited sites in Osun state. The prayer mountain established by the famed late Prophet Timothy Otolorin Abiola Eyebiokin, who hailed from Iloko Ijesa, a town from the axis of Osun, with rich history of churning out fire brand prophets. A

few of whom iclude Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, Prophet Samuel Abiara, Pastor Williams Kumuyi and late Prophet Timothy Obadare, to mention but a few. The founder, Prophet Abiola, who was at the time lead pastor at Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, Ajewole Estate, built by the late foremost Osogbo businessman, Chief Ajewole Ifaloye, was just settling down in his new base after relocating from Ile-Ife, where he was working after he received vision to establish the prayer mountain. He however initially was not forthcoming about God’s command to establish the prayer mountain because of several challenges he faced when he was looking for the location and was eventually punished. Speaking with SundayMirror, during a visit to Eyebiokin Mountain, one of the first set of worshippers to pray on the mountain, a septuagenarian, Pa Paul Ogunjinmi, said late Prophet Timothy Otolorin Abiola Eiyebiokin, was initially reluctant in reacting to the vision to establish a prayer mountain because, shortly upon arriving Osogbo, he had joined other worshippers at a prayer mountain along Osogbo/Ilesa road. But the Holy Spirit had insisted that the clergy should look for another prayer mountain. He added that Prophet Eyebiokin was not making head way in the search because he was not an indigene of Osogbo and at a point; he became disinterested in continuing the search. “For not searching for the mountain as commanded, Baba Eyebiokin suddenly took ill and for seven days, he was down with strange illness. On the seventh day of his illness, the Holy Spirit ministered to him again and directed that the prayer mountain He wanted was behind then newly established

…discovered by hunters, hosts 200,000 worshippers monthly

Osogbo Steel Rolling Mill. “Prophet Eyebiokin immediately contacted his friend that brought him to Osogbo, Chief Ifaloye, who in conjunction with the manager of Osogbo Steel Rolling Mill, arranged seven powerful hunters, who embarked on the voyage and found the mountain. At the time, no ordinary man could reach this place because it was in the middle of thick forest,” he said. Ogunjinmi said during the lifetime of Prophet Eyebiokin, numerous signs and wonders were wrought through him by God. He said, many seeking fruits of the womb were blessed with babies and many others with generational or family challenges got breakthroughs. The late Eyebiokin, he said usually harboured many people in buildings near his house at Ajewole District when the mountain has not had buildings that people can stay in and he would create time to pray for them each hour of the day. Ogunjinmi shared the testimony of how a woman, whose womb was removed eventually got pregnant after visiting the mountain on the invitation of one of members of the church that was working in Lagos. When asked what his experience had been since taking charge of the prayer mountain, Pastor Titus Oluwaseyi Alo, who is the pastor in-charge, said, only one building was on the mountain at the time its founder passed on, adding that more building, including chalets and administrative blocks have been constructed. Prophet Alo disclosed that since the death of the founder, over 250 sufferers of mental related sickness have been cured through spiritual means. The cleric, however, added that several

other people with one form of challenge or the other have also been visiting the mountain to seek spiritual help with beautiful testimonies to share. He said mentally deranged patients are being treated spiritually with many of them getting healed of their ailment. Alo said with his experience over the years, Eyebiokin Mountain has special healing capacity for the mentally deranged. The first challenge facing the prayer mountain is coming from an unusual source. At the foot of the mountain, many churches with no affiliation to Eyebiokin could be noticed. Enumerating some of the challenges facing the mountain, Pastor Alo said, over the years, the management of Eyebiokin, has been having tough times dealing with many “fake churches” that have struggled to established links with the mountain when there was no link at all between it and them all in a bid to deceive people that usually throng the prayer mountain. He said, many people have been misled and duped by “fake pastors”, using the name of Eyebiokin Mountain but averred that the challenge is being tackled spiritually with positive results manifesting. Alo said the Police Post erected in the area years back is a shadow of its old self. The police post was erected when Mr. Solomon Olusegun, was Osun state commissioner of police, though he quickly added that the mountain was not desperate about getting policemen posted to the police post “as far as God’s security is on worshippers and visitors to the mountain”. During a visit to the mountain, it was observed that despite being located a bit far from Osogbo/Oba road, there was no security post there. Also, the mountain was not fenced and there was no accommodation provided for visitors. When asked what developmental plans those in charge of the mountain have for it, Alo said, a maternity clinic has just been completed and stressed that there was also plans to build a school in memory of Prophet Timothy Eyebiokin. “We are also planning to build training schools for intending pastors. Chalets to accommodate visitors are also needed on the mountain and several other facilities that can make our operations here smoother are being planned too”, Alo concluded.

‘Keshi wasn’t on same page with NFF’

Oliseh: Banana peels he must avoid PIUS ANAKALI

t the height of the crisis that engulfed former Super Eagles coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, after fans called for his head for failing to qualify Nigeria for the last African Cup of Nations, his former team mate, Sunday Oliseh, who was also critical of him, was reported to have said that he was not after Keshi’s job. But in what seems to be a twist of faith, Oliseh was announced as the man to take over from his former teammate, who was relieved of his appointment by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), sitting lack of commitment to the job as reason. While there has been mixed reactions to the sack and appointment, the question many are asking is, will Oliseh succeeds where Keshi failed, will he be able to avoid those Banana peels that eased Keshi out of the plum Super Eagles job? Well, on paper, Oliseh is the most qualified coach in the country, he has the highest coaching licence compared to his mate. Apart from that, Oliseh is a member of FIFA Technical Committee and has played football at the highest level. He is a physical, technical defensive midfielder. He was a star player with AFC Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus F.C. Oliseh played 54 international matches and scored two goals for Nigeria, and played at the Football World Cups of 1994 and 1998 and was also a member of Olympic gold medal winning team of 1996. These are some of the experiences Oliseh would be bringing to the national team. On the other hand however, Oliseh, just like Keshi, is highly temperamental. And that is the Banana peel he must work on if he is to succeed is his new assignment. Though, it’s still early to point which side of history Oliseh will end up, learning from Keshi mistakes, analyst says, will go a long way in helping his course. Success, they say, has a way of getting into someone’s

head. That was the case with Keshi who prosecuted the 2013 Nation’s cup with relatively unknown players and triumphed. Having coached Togo and Mali where he was also highly successful, the Super Eagles job was his biggest appointment. pool of appointm ment.

‘Keshi wasn’t on same page with NFF’ F ormer Super Eagles head coach Stephen Keshi was “not on the same page” with his employers, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) vice president, Seyi Akinwumi, has revealed. Akinwumi said that Keshi’s position became untenable because it looked unlikely he would achieve set objectives. “We (NFF) are not very eager to open old wounds because this is a new era where we are about to appoint a new coach for the national team. “We looked at the whole scenario surrounding his appointment with us and we thought that we were not going in the same direction in terms of what we hoped in the short and long term. “As a result, we took the option open to us to terminate his contract and that is the end of it,” Akinwumi said on popular Nigerian magazine programme, Naija

Made, on SuperSport TV. Keshi was fired on July 4 with an official statement of the NFF noting that the former Nigeria captain flouted several clauses in his contract. “To this end and pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.3 of the Employment Contract between Mr.

Stephen Keshi and the NFF (the contract) and the various clauses therein, the Nigeria Football Federation has decided to exercise its option to summarily terminate the employment contract of Mr. Stephen Keshi with the Federation with immediate effect,” part of the statement read.

ormer National Boxing Coach, Obisia Nwankpa says there is need for more boxing championships to be organized in the country as a way of keeping pugilists in shape ahead of major international championships. He told knockout that for Nigerian boxing to regain its lost glory, the National Sports Commission and corporate organizations must emulate other countries and invest in the game. “Part of the reason why Nigerian boxers do not

perform well at international competitions is lack of regular tournaments. “It is through these tournaments that the technical crew can have a proper assessment of their pugilists as well as keep them in top shape ahead of major tournaments. Obisia while commending the President of Nigeria Boxing Federation, Kenneth Minimah for hosting the maiden Kenneth Minimah National Open Boxing Championship stated that unless other Nigerians emulate him and sponsor similar championship, the gains of the tournament will be lost.

Emenike confident of filling Gyan’s shoes

igerian striker Emanuel Emenike, who was officially unveiled by Al Ain late on Friday, was straight away put under the pump by the local media. He was bombarded with questions as to how he would fit into the shoes of Ghanaian star striker Asamoah Gyan, who has scored 95 goals in 83 games helping Al Ain win the league thrice and in the process finishing as UAE Pro League top-scorer on three occasions. “I’m happy to be here and in a great club like this. I also like to be in a club that wins title and I’m here to win more trophies,” said Emenike, who hasn’t been in the best of touch in the Turkish League having scored just 16 goals from 55 matches for Fenerbahçe. Last season, he only managed four goals in 27 appearances and hence there is a lot of apprehension in the media and among the Al Ain fans about Emenike being an

ideal replacement for Gyan. However, the Nigerian tried his best to justify his selection saying that he has the striking prowess and can deliver the goods to see Al Ain achieve its goals. “I have scored goals starting from when I was with Karabükspor and then Fenerbahçe. I have won tropies in Turkey but last season wasn’t that great for me but I made a lot of impact as I got a lot of assists. However, yes, it wasn’t a good last season for me,” said Emenike, adding, “Gyan is a very good player and I’m here to replace him and I hope I do well. He has achieved a lot in his career and so have I. I have won the African Cup. It doesn’t worry me that I’m replacing Gyan as my plan is to work as a team-man and then do well as a player.”

Altidore

s n a f y e Turk l a c i t a n are fa USA and Toronto FC striker Jozy Altidore sat down with FIFA.com to chat about his early start in the professional game, his love for Turkish football and why, for a self-professed lover, he hates losing so much. The muscular striker, still just 25, opens up about his career so far and what’s still to come. FIFA.com: You were only 16 when you began your professional career. Were you mentally ready for that? Jozy Altidore: I actually signed for New York Red Bulls when I was 15, but I didn’t start playing until the next year. It was a difficult time forr me in many ways, especially in the States where we e didn’t have too many professional players coming g through at such a young age. It was a challenging g time, but I don’t have any regrets about it. I enjoyed ed it and it helped me become the player I am today day. You must have missed a lot of the fun stuff that your schoolmates were getting up to… Yeah, that’s true. You miss your high school dances and those types of things, although I did manage to go to my prom. At least I got to do that. You’re not a normal kid in a lot of ways. But for me football was always in my blood. It’s something that was a part of my family and the love for it was always there. We shared a passion together and the sacrifices weren’t that a big a deal to me. e. I enjoyed every moment of it and looking g back I wouldn’t change a thing. You’ve lived and played in many y different cultures – Spain, England, Turkey, the Netherlands, Canada - which was the toughest hest to adapt to? Turkey. I was there for six months and I really didn’t know what to expect. It took me some time to settle. The fans are so fanatical and so passionate about their teams and players, and I had ad to get used to that. I grew to really love it. It was a very good experience for me and one I would recommend mend to a lot of young players. Which country was easiest to adapt apt to? Holland. I was there at AZ Alkmaar with a sporting director that I had a very good understanding nderstanding with. I was playing with players that liked ked the same type of football that I did. That’s a key for or any player – to go into an environment where you’re u’re comfortable. It was an easy transition from day one. You played in the FIFA U-20 World orld Cup in Canada in 2007. What did that tournament mean to you? It’s an amazing competition. You play y against the stars of the future and, for me, it wass a great moment. I remember we played against Uruguay uguay, and in that team were a lot of the players that are now leading world football.

And now you’re back in Canada with Toronto FC. How does it feel to be back in MLS after a long g time away? I’m excited to be back. I h ave n’ t here p l aye d in a long t i m e , s i n c e I was v e r y young. I feel like I’m at a point in my

life where I’m ready for this different type of challenge, and I can still take my game to the next level. It’s a big thing for me to go somewhere where I feel like I’ll still be challenged. That’s where I am now. You’re very active on Twitter. How did this come around? I don’t even remember. I’ve been on Twitter for so long; I can’t even remember when I got started. I think it’s a good platform to express your engage with fans and e views. I think the fans appreciate that, to see that you’re normal and someone they can talk to. Do you usually answer tweets from fans? Sometimes. I’m a big joker.

It’ It’s a part of upbringing. my u I’m so close to my family. They’ve been Th there for th me forever. m They’ve been there in the tough times and the great times too, and e ve r y thing in between. For me, there are no other people that have y o u r back the way family does. You reY cently tweetcen ed ‘I hate los-

I try to not be violent, so I save my hate for losing only. But everyone loses control sometimes… I’m human, so I have my bad days like everyone else does. I’m not always in a good mood, but I try to keep things in perspective. There’s not enough time in life to get bogged down with the negatives. You say you’re a lover. So, what do you love? I love football. I love my family. I love sports. I love to be around positive people. I don’t waste my time on people who are always looking for the negative, or are always complaining. What can you say about the current moment in the US national team? Positive things are happening since the World Cup in Brazil. If you look at the trajectory of US soccer – where we’ve come over the last 12 or 15 years – it’s incredible. We’re constantly growing and getting better. Out football is improving all the time. The best is yet to come and we’ve got exciting times ahead in Russia. We will have another strong team and hopefully we can surprise a few more people. You must imagine that the USA will qualify for Russia 2018? I would like us to qualify for Russia. But nothing is a given. We still have to go to these tough places and work hard and qualify. It would be a huge disappointment if we didn’t qualify. You’ve been around a long time, but you’re still only 25. What are your goals for the future? I still feel like my best football is yet to come. I understand the game in a way that I didn’t before. I’m excited for the next five or six years. I’m getting better with every game and I want to see where that goes.

ast week’s comment here ended with questions why bank customers form the habit of operating several accounts within one bank and a number of other accounts in other competing commercial banks. Why indeed would an individual need to operate several accounts with a number of commercial banks, instead of operating just one account or just remaining a customer of just one commercial bank? This combined, double-barreled question is as dumb and stupid as the problem created by the way the banks treat reference forms for introduction or attestation supplied by the banks where customers wish to open new accounts. The banks say it is the regulator(s) requirement that a new customer or an intending customer of a bank should solicit referrals from old bank customers, as an insurance against dubious characters flooding the banks and creating security issues for depositors’ funds in their custody. In a host of such reference forms, it is usually printed in bold red ink that “It is extremely risky to referee or act as a guarantor for anybody you cannot vouch for his or her conduct.”

Still on bank customers referees

This is a precautionary measure intended, I suppose, to create an ambience of safety for the banks to relate freely with their customers. You do not have to be peeping suspiciously through the rim of your glasses at you customers all the time. All this is well taken; but that still does not answer the question why individuals open and operate several bank accounts both within and outside the initial commercial bank of choice. This is important because an understanding of why this happens will enable the banks to appreciate their error in the handling of bank customers’ reference forms and, hopefully, assist them to make amends before the problem begins to attract loud and embarrassing public outcry. Now among the many reasons why individuals open and operate several bank accounts are (i) employers requirement when signing up for a new job (ii) requirement of due diligence and due process when doing business with an agency of state (ii) demand by the individual commercial banks on their customers to create new accounts through new products intended to expand their depositors base and swell their balance sheet, and (iv) the desire of the bank customers themselves to spread their risks when the original commercial bank of choice is threading on dangerous grounds in such a way as to jeopardize their deposits. This is how it happens: you are completing a staff profile form in a new

place of work and you are required to open a salary account in a particular bank often different from your old bank before securing the new job. Can anyone tell his employer that he would not open a new bank account different from his old bank account because he fears he might not get acceptable referees, and hope to be taken seriously by the new work-place? Unfortunately, since most of the people he would approach to act as guarantors or referees are from his old bank, the referee forms are normally deviously shut down by the officers of his old bank for fear they might lose him to the new bank; unconcerned by the fact that it is a requirement of the customer’s new place of work. Even the commercial banks which grudge their customers their right to good referrals to other banks do create all sorts of new products requiring the existing customers to open new accounts such as Current account if the customer had only Savings account; Domiciliary account if the customer in question already had both Current and Savings account or a U-care child education account for the children, et cetera. These normally require that the customer complete reference forms for attestation or introduction depending on the bank in question. Even at this level of intra-bank diversification or is it proliferation of accounts, referees or guarantors could be sourced from within or outside the bank. If references are shut down on account

ALL THIS IS WELL TAKEN; BUT THAT STILL DOES NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION WHY INDIVIDUALS OPEN AND OPERATE SEVERAL BANK ACCOUNTS BOTH WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE INITIAL COMMERCIAL BANK OF CHOICE.

of the fact that the bank customer already had existing account, how could the banks ever sell the new products that they inundate their customers with on a daily basis? Finally, you have a situation in which some bank customers desire to open new accounts in different banks to spread their risk in the event of bank failure; thus, avoiding a situation where all the eggs are carelessly kept in one basket. What is wrong with that? If a commercial bank is reckless with depositors funds and some customers become apprehensive of what might happen to their deposits and decide to open and operate accounts in other banks, is that why they should be frustrated by the banks? This misunderstanding amongst the commercial banks which look like witchcraft against the bank customers surely calls for the intervention of the regulator to halt decisively.

Cech move was a tough decision – Wenger A

rsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Petr Cech will bring a winning mentality to his squad after he completed a move from Chelsea. Wenger spoke for the first time about his decision to sign the 33-year-old Cech, as he conceded it was a tough decision to sign an extra keeper to provide competition for Wojciech Szczesny and David Opsina. “You always want to improve the experience level of your squad and I thought he could help us gain something on that front. “I still think he has a huge

hunger. When I saw him with Chelsea last year he was always convincing and I’m happy that we could do it. His kind of knowledge and experience can help us.”

Four-time Premier League winner Cech was a somewhat surprising signing by Arsenal, after many observers did not believe the reigning Premier League cham-

pions would sell a player of his proven quality to one of their chief domestic rivals. Meanwhile, speculation continues to link Opsina with a move away from Arse-

nal following Cech’s arrival, with Turkish side Fenerbahce among those being linked with a move for the Colombian stopper.
