“The suspects were immediately handed over to the Police at Area E Command, Festac.”


Corruption kills more Nigerians than HIV/AIDS, malaria — ActionAids boss

Country Director, ActionAid Nigeria, Mrs. Ene Obi, has said corruption kills more people in Nigeria than HIV/Aids and malaria put together.

Malaria Obi, who led a delegation of ActionAid officials to the Abuja Bureau of Vanguard Newspaper said more needed to be done in the fight against corruption in every sphere of national life.

According to him, “ActionAid is an anti-poverty agency to eradicate corruption. We believe that corruption can be eradicated and we believe that if our resources can be distributed, the way it should, remove the looting and the misappropriation that is happening, no Nigerian needs to go to bed hungry.

"When we are growing up, in school, we were with children of governors in a public university but today that is not happening.

“Corruption is the major obstacle to eradicating poverty and we are looking at it as Nigerians who have said no. As Nigerians, if we do not reclaim our country, it will not even be the dust bin they will eat from, we don’t even know where they would eat.

“I think it is time to reclaim our land from the looters. Orientation is something that we seek. I think people have lost it. There are a lot of insanity in the atmosphere and that is the sanity that we need to bring back to people. People who have gone astray, we can also bring them back to the fold. And so, ActionAid is calling for collaboration in the fight against corruption.”

The name Jesus never existed, it was invented, Daddy Freeze tells Maraji

‘Jesus was invented about 400 years ago, just about the same time the truth about Yahushua, the real son of Yahweh was destroyed, to make room for a manipulative, monetized and politicized ‘Jesus’ doctrine’ Controversial on-air personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze has told young Nigerian comedian, Gloria ‘Maraji’ Oloruntobi.

Maraji and Daday Freeze Maraji on her Instagram page said the only to haven was through Jesus and not Buddha, Krishna or evolution.

Daddy Freeze on his own Instagram page wrote Jesus was invented about 400 years ago…. just as he asked how can a name the disciples didn’t even know existed, be the way to Yahweh?

If you went back in time only 500 years ago, not a soul on earth would have the foggiest idea who ‘Jesus’ was.

How can a name the disciples didn’t even know existed, be the way to Yahweh?

◄ Acts 4:12 ►

New International Version Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Ask yourself this question, if there was no other name under heaven given to mankind for salvation 2000 years ago, where did ‘Jesus’ come from only 400 years ago, when both the Hebrew and English language didn’t have a ‘J’ sound?
