Every Sunday, many parents remind their children of the obligation to go 'church'. Any child who refuses to go is blackmailed, screamed at, abused and sometimes even beaten.

So my question is , if the bible says we should not provoke our children and since God is also tender with his children, why do parents use brute force to make many children go to church against their own will and then use the basics of life like shelter and money to threaten them if they fail to comply ?

Is this productive ? Could this be the reason why such families / homes are 'manufacturing' more atheists/agnostics/unfundamental Christians than those from other backgrounds?

Is a child going to church evidence that he is a Christian ?

Comments welcome.

Wedding is part of every little girl's
dream. It is often imagined as lovely
and romantic. And one of the most
anticipated aspect of the event- the
bride's gown! Could it be from Vera
Wang, Monique Lhuillier or from a
dainty bridal store across the street?
Ahhh, a bride is indeed a beautiful sight
on her big day. But, wait 'til you see
some horrible wedding dresses that
were actually worn by (crazy) brides. I
mean it, they're horrible..

Bridal dress or circus costume? Are you sure about
walking the isle?

FNNEWS:
This week, CEO of Apple Inc, Tim Cook in a press conference announced to the public his sexual orientation, leading to a hot topic that has been discussed severally all around the world.

However, not all the feedback from this announcement has been positive, as news reaching FNN seems to indicate that the federal government of Nigeria, as well as a few other African countries, is set to place a ban on the sale or usage of all Apple products within the country, with prosecution and a sentence of up to 14 years imprisonment as the penalty for disobedience.

Speaking to an FNN correspondent, an FG spokesperson explained that the government would not go back on its stance on homosexuality and same-sex marriage, and also explained that the reason the penalty was 14 years is that purchasing or using goods made by such a company is tantamount to encouraging and practising such unlawful acts, and as such would carry the full punishment accorded by law.

It is not yet clear whether this law will be passed, or the reaction of the general public to these reports. More as this story develops.

Borno-born Nigerian journalist, Ahmad Salkida, who
has been a go-between in previous Federal
Government-Boko Haram negotiations, has argued
that the outlawed Islamist sect is not
factionalised.
The reporter on self-exile in the United Arab
Emirates described the reports of factionalisation
of the insurgent group as a “media hype,”
adding that the Federal Government negotiated
with an “unknown faction.”
Arguing that it was true that Boko Haram was
full of “cells and cadres,” he dismissed the
insinuation that there is a group of Boko Haram
members who do not take orders from their
leader, Abubakar Shekau.
Writing on his Twitter page on Tuesday, Salkida
described Shekau as the “imam” of the insurgents,
noting that if Boko Haram had been factionalised,
other imams would have emerged for each of the
splinter groups.
He stated that Muhammadu Marwana, who
claimed to be an influential member of the
Abubakar Shekau-led Boko Haram sect last year,
and Danladi Ahmadu, who reportedly led the
insurgents’ team for the latest botched
negotiation, were fraudulent.
“The media hype now is that Boko Haram is
fractured and factionalised and that this new
challenge affected the release of hostages and a
wider peace settlement.
“Boko Haram has cells and cadres that all
operate under one imam, but there are no
factions. If there were, another ‘imam’ would
have emerged anywhere in West Africa.
“It is unpardonable for such a Jihadi group not
to openly have an imam. Therefore, we would have
seen a new or another one if a faction exists.
“When you look at history of botched ceasefires,
starting from Marwana and now Danladi, none of
them denounced Shekau but he (Shekau) dismissed
them,” Salkida said.
According to him, assuming there are indeed
factions seeking peace, the important thing
expected of the Federal Government is to talk
“only to” those that have hostages and seized
territories rather that those without
“deliverables.”
The President Goodluck Jonathan-led Federal
Government, he added, must desist from
negotiating with the “unknown faction” but set
necessary machinery in motion to reclaim
territories under Boko Haram control.
Stating that he was not against the ceasefire
request of the government, he noted that the
military forces must take the anti-terror war to
the door-steps of the terrorists considering the
realities on the ground.
“Why speak to an unknown faction if they don’t
have deliverables? Government must first reclaim
territories and take responsibility.
“To fight is better, giving the new realities. It’s
pointless for the FG to negotiate from the
position of weakness; hence, the inability by
Nigerian Army to reclaim lost territories since
September.
“When you have lost territories, you can no longer
negotiate unless you are ready to let go part of
it. Reclaim these areas, then seek a peace
settlement. May the Lord help Nigeria,” he added.
He also explained that the majority of the foot
soldiers and commanders of Boko Haram were
mostly of the Kanuri ethnic stock.
Explaining the rationale behind this, he stated,
“This is because it (insurgency) all started there
and the sect is deeply rooted in Kanuri land.
Kanuri is not the motivation here, it is their
interpretation of Islam that is.”
When contacted by our correspondent via an
electronic mail to speak on the fate of the
abducted Chibok girls in view of the botched
ceasefire, he referred him to his Twitter
timeline, adding that he had nothing more to
say.
“I have said what need to be said regarding this
issue. Let us allow posterity to vindicate the
claims either by government or some of us,” the
terse statement sent by Salkida to our
correspondent read.
Meanwhile, the Defence Headquarters has kept
mum online since the ceasefire agreement
collapsed. The DHQ had taken to the social media
on October 17 to celebrate the ceasefire which did
not last more than 24 hours.
A check on the Twitter page of the DHQ and that
of the Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen.
Chris Olukolade, on Tuesday evening showed that
their social accounts had simply gone inactive
since then.
However, the development had not deterred online
commentators from expressing their views on the
controversial ceasefire agreement.
A social commentator, Abdullahi Buhari, stated on
Twitter that the “speed” with which the Chief
of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh,
and the service chiefs welcomed what he described
as the “bogus ceasefire” depicted “war weariness
and cowardice.”
“Boko Haram should be the ones celebrating the
ceasefire not the military chiefs. What is
happening to our military generals?” Buhari asked.

The Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima,
has said that the All Progressives Congress will
win all the six states in the North-East in the
2015 elections.
He boasted that after the 2015 elections, the
party would not be only at the helms of affairs
in both Yobe and Borno states, it would also be
controlling affairs in the remaining four states
and their Houses of Assembly.
The remaining four states in the geo-political
zone are Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi and Taraba.
Shettima, who was represented by his deputy,
Alhaji Zanna Mustapha, said this while taking
delivery of 100 bags of rice donated by the APC
national leadership to those displaced by Boko
Haram insurgency in Maiduguri, Borno State.
He advised the people of the troubled Borno State
against voting for politicians who were never
around to console them during their trying time.
He said, “Many of these politicians, who are now
regrouping to launch their political ambitions
ahead of the 2015 elections, fled our state. They
could not even come around to sympathise with
our people in distress. I am urging our people not
to support the political ambition of such
politicians.”
The governor’s representative, who received the
food items from the National Welfare Officer of
the APC, Alhaji Dikko Umaru, lauded the party
for the donation, assuring that the items would
be delivered to the displaced persons.
He noted that the APC had continued to support
the three north-eastern states of Borno, Yobe and
Adamawa, insisting that the party leadership
should be commended for constantly persuading the
Federal Government to show more interest in the
Boko Haram crisis and the plight of the affected
states.
Umaru, who delivered the items on behalf of the
National Chairman of the party, Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, said the gesture should be seen as
a show of support and not politically motivated.
“What is important is the heart to do it, the
motive behind it and not the quantity,” he
pleaded.

National Assembly okays autonomy for local governments

The National Assembly on Tuesday, granted full financial and administrative autonomy to all the 774 local council authorities across Nigeria by ammending section 124 of the nation’s constitution.

The section provides a consequential provision for the making of the local councils, a full third tier government without undue interference from the state governments.

The ammendment was one of the 22 others approved by the House of Representatives last week and ratified by the Senate on Tuesday.

Both chambers had through a conference committee harmonised versions of the ammendments into the constitution carried out by each of them last month.

By the development, the National Assembly had ratified all the 23 clauses and sections that had been ammended by both chambers.

The newly ammended document which would be sent to States Houses of Assembly, for approval, also approved the creation of the Office of Auditor – General of the Local Government as well as the State Local Government Service Commission.

The section equally deleted the State Independent Electoral Commission from the constitution thereby vesting the powers to conduct council elections on the Independent National Electoral Commission.

It however, retained the immunity clause in the constitution for the President and Governors by adopting the Senate version of the ammendments on the issue and rejected the House of Representatives version which removed the immunity clause.

The National Assembly also made provisions for Independent candidacy in future elections in Nigeria by ammending sections 65 and 106 of the 1999 constitution.
