PoliticsNaira Appreciates On Parallel Market After CBN Dollar Sales by Anasko(op): 8:47am On Dec 25, 2015
The naira firmed to N266 to the dollar on the
unofficial market on Wednesday, gaining 1.5 per
cent after the Central Bank of Nigeria sold dollars
to exchange houses and as demand for the US
currency slowed, traders said.
The central bank sold $10,000 to each of more
than 2,000 bureau de change operators, Aminu
Gwadabe, the head of Nigeria's bureaux de
change association, told Reuters.
He said the intervention would be the last for the
year. The naira had fallen to a record low of N280
to the dollar last week after the central bank
advised commercial banks to limit how much
customers could spend abroad using their debit
cards.
"The pressure on the market has slowed because
most businesses are closing down for the year,
while the number of those travelling abroad has
fallen," Gwadabe said.
On the official interbank market, the naira closed
at N199.50, some 1.26 per cent weaker than the
central bank's peg rate.
Traders said since the central bank closed its
intervention window this week, the naira has been
trading at two naira above the peg rate. The
Nigerian money market re-opens next Tuesday.

Archbishop John Obiokeke

Archbishop John Obiokeke of God Pentecostal Mission Churches is reputed to have made some predictions which came to pass. However, his predictions on the 2015 presidential election seem to have missed the mark. At the early hours of 2015, he made predictions which foretold the coming back of Jonathan after the election. He had prophesied in January, “God is saying that there is no vacancy in Aso Rock. For reasons best known to him, Jonathan, even though will rig, is still going to be the president”. His prophecy ended on an assuring note that “the election is going to be tight, but Jonathan will return.”

With President Buhari occupying Aso Rock today, and Jonathan being the first to congratulate him on his victory at the polls, no further prophecy is needed to tell Nigerians that Obiokeke’s prophecy was not fulfilled.



Pastor Success Ibeakanma

Senior pastor of Royal Choice Ministries, Lagos, Pastor Success Ibeakanma, made a prophecy early this year pointing to the 2015 election. He foretold, “In the presidential election of 2015, APC will try but PDP will win.”

However, it did not come to pass as he prophesied as APC did not only “try” but won the election in a landslide victory leaving PDP, the foretold winner, as a loser in the vacuum of opposition party.



Primate Theophilus O. Olabayo:

Theophilus Olabayo, the founder of Evangelical Church of Yahweh, Lagos, somehow got it wrong on who had the divine seal to win the presidential election. He also missed the target on who was to become Lagos State governor. He had earlier predicted, “God has revealed to me that if at all there is going to be a presidential election, it will be inconclusive just like the June 12, 1993, election that we had during the time of late Chief M.K.O Abiola.”

The elections have been held. But the presidential election, in particular, was not declared inconclusive.

On the election of Lagos State governor, he prophesied: “Jimi Agbaje will have more support of the people, and this is what will cause uproar in some circles if at all there is going to be an election. Jimi Agbaje will have the upper-hand because the candidate that should have won the election for APC was not given the chance to be presented as the party’s governorship candidate in Lagos. APC should have presented Ganiyu Solomon, he was God’s anointed candidate.” But Akinwumi Ambode of the APC eventually won.

Pastor Emeka Agwu

Pastor Emeka Agwu is the General Overseer, Voice of Evangelism International, Houston, Texas, USA. Also, he organised Diaspora Prayers for Dr Jonathan’s Victory ahead of the election. His prophecy concerning the election came thus: “They want Jonathan resigned or changed, but God has given Jonathan the 2015 election key of victory.”

However, since both the key to victory and key to Aso Villa did not remain with the former president, his prophecy can be said to have failed.

Brother Joshua Iginla

Prophet Joshua Iginla is the founder of Champions Royal Assembly, a new-generation church based in Abuja. He is among those who missed the message on who will be Nigeria’s president following the 2015 elections.

Joshua once said in an interview in January this year, “I am not a politician nor do I belong to any political party. I am just speaking God’s mind. The person sitting on the seat might not be perfect but he will retain the seat. It’s not guesswork… President Jonathan will win, but he has to pray about his health and so many political blows.”

Perhaps, not only Jonathan but a crowd of his supporters might have taken the message with a pinch of salt but the outcome of the election may have convinced them to believe that there are many reasons to doubt, sometimes, the words of some ‘prophets’.

Christianity EtcRe: 2015 Prophecies That Never Occured by Anasko(op): 6:46am On Dec 25, 2015
CONTINUATION,

Guru Maharaji

The spiritual leader of One Love Family, Sat Guru Maharaji, stated categorically “There is no vacancy for Buhari at Aso Rock. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the verifiable divine choice of the forthcoming presidential election.”



Prophet Micheal Olubode

Prophet Micheal Olubode, the prophet of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) was also sure of Goodluck Jonathan’s victory. “I want to let the people of Nigeria know that The Lord will return His Excellency, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to his presidential seat” he declared.



Apostle B. B Frederick

From Ghana came Apostle B.B Frederick who declared based on ‘inspiration of the Almighty’ that “President Jonathan is the set man for Nigeria and his next term on the seat will bring liberation to Nigeria”.



Prophet Godfrey Gbujie

Prophet Godfrey Gbujie, who had predicted the deaths of former military ruler, Gen Sani Abacha and former president, Shehu Yar’Adua, told newsmen in Owerri that neither Goodluck Ebele Jonathan nor Gen Muhammadu Buhari would win in 2015.

He added that “Buhari has a mission divinely imposed on him, but he shall not rule this country again; even if he wins, God has not determined him to find His favour. Jonathan is the last elected president of this country.”



Pastor Dapo Adeniyi

Pastor Dapo Adeniyi stated that while Buhari may have good agendas to eradicate corruption in Nigeria, it was unfortunate that he would not win the election. “Though he will give Ebele Jonathan tough time, he will accuse the PDP of rigging the election, go to court but justice will not prevail. What a pity! I see him fainting and uncooperative to ensure the peace of Nigeria after his defeat.”



Dr Okhue Iboi

The most bizarre came from the National coordinator and spokesman of Witches and Wizards Association of Nigeria (WITZAN), Dr Okhue Iboi. He said “I don’t see General Mohammadu Buhari ruling this country. We don’t have a political party but if anyone seeks our help, we shall render it. There was a time witches in Benue State invited other witches across the country to offer prayers for the Senate President, David Mark, against impeachment. We flew to Otukpo and later to a village called Owetor. That was where we offered the prayers” he said.



Reverend Saviour Awusi

Reverend Saviour Awusi is the founder and General Overseer of God’s Divine Favour Evangelical Church, Okota, Lagos. His voice was not missed when prophetic utterances were rising from the pulpits at the dawn of this year. Awusi prophesied, “Thus says the Lord: ‘By my mercy, President Jonathan would surely win this year’s presidential election. And all those who are against him shall be put to shame.”

His prophecy, like others, did not come to manifestation as Jonathan lost to his opponent.





Babatunde Elijah Ayodele

The founder of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, came up with some prophecies too. He foretold ahead of the election: “Kaduna is going to be very bloody. PDP may take Kaduna, but it’s going to be by narrow margin. Yobe, Gombe, Benue, Delta, Akwa Ibom, all those states will be won by PDP.”

After the election, Kaduna was calm and not bloody. APC’s candidate, Nasiru el-Rufai, won the governorship election, beating PDP’s Ramalan Yero. Also, the PDP missed clinching Yobe and Benue governorship seats as the primate had predicted. On the presidential election, the man of God had this to say about Jonathan: “This election is a lesson for him and there are still lessons for him to learn if he now gets it back. He still needs a lot of prayers. But in the midst of all the ups and downs, he may still have a very slim chance of winning the election. I don’t see any landslide victory at all between him and Buhari. At the end of the day, PDP will win the federal, but the party will crash after the election.”

After the election, PDP, however, was estimated to have lost with about 2.5 million votes.
Christianity Etc2015 Prophecies That Never Occured by Anasko(op): 6:40am On Dec 25, 2015
A prophecy is a message of revelation which a prophet or clairvoyant, believed to be in divine communion with God, receives from God and passes to people concerning what is to happen in future. Nigeria has had a bumper harvest of prophecies in 2015, majority of them predetermining the outcome of the 2015 presidential election. In this edition, LEADERSHIP Friday highlights those prophecies that never occured. Abah Adah, Andrew Essien and Paul Chiama write.

Prophet Olaniyi Odutayo

Prophet Olaniyi Odutayo of the World Prophetic Church, Ikeja, had in the countdown to the March 28, 2015 presidential poll affirmed that God revealed to him that President Goodluck Jonathan would defeat three strong contenders to emerge victorious.

Odutayo, who was said to have fasted for 40 days, declared that God revealed to him that although the opposition would win more states in the election, President Goodluck Jonathan would still remain in power till 2019.

He said, “During the prayer/fasting, the Lord showed me three men trying to bury Goodluck Jonathan. Each one of them was trying to bury him one after the other, but as they pushed down his head, he rose up again. After the third man pushed down his head, he thought he had prevailed, he was already jubilating but suddenly Goodluck rose up.”


Prophet Joseph Oladipupo.

Prophet Joseph Oladipupo is the shepherd in charge of Faith and Victory Church located in Akure, the Ondo State capital and one of those whose prophecies concerning the 2015 presidential elections never were.

According to him, God said Muhammadu Buhari, the major challenger of the then incumbent president, Jonathan, would not win.

“The upcoming election will be very tough for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but they will win the presidency,” he said.


Primate Elijah Ayodele

In January, 2013, founder and General Overseer of Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, predicted that God showed him Jonathan would continue to rule till 2019.

“The 2015 elections will hold but will be peaceful in some areas and not in other areas. As it is, from what I see at the moment, PDP will win, amidst serious criticism,” he said.


Apostle Johnson Suleman

“With the level of bloodshed I saw, it is better Goodluck goes now to his village quietly.

2015 election is another June 12. The man who truly won will not govern or rule,” was how Apostle Johnson Suleiman put his own.

These words of Apostle Johnson Suleman of Auchi-based Omega Fire Ministry implies that Jonathan was favoured to win but after that, violence may consume him. He thus advised that the “divinely favoured candidate quit the race or face the regrettable consequences.

Alhaji Musa Ayeni

Alhaji Musa Ayeni was the Presidential candidate of the African Peoples Alliance (APA). Like the prophet of old, he had before the election claimed that he had been ordained by God to take over the mantle of leadership from President Jonathan after May 29.

The politician told newsmen in Akure, that his decision to join the presidential race was in obedience to divine call from God.

“I came into the race because God directed me to contest the election. God told me categorically that I will succeed President Goodluck Jonathan and I believe what God says, hence, my resolve to contest the forthcoming presidential election,” Ayeni, who was former deputy governor in the old Ondo State said.

After the election, Ayeni came third after polling 53,537 votes, meaning his self-favoured prophecy never was.

Prophet Paul Okikiiesu

A Lagos prophet, Paul Okikijesu was not quite clear with his prediction, but said correctly that Buhari might be voted for. He said “If Buhari can surrender his heart to me, he will win the election. Nevertheless despite people’s mandate, they will neither release power to him nor swear him in as the president of the nation. His situation will be similar to Abiola that had people’s mandate, but was not given the chance to rule the country.” It is not known whether the APC candidate “surrendered his heart” to the cleric, but as for now, he has been declared the winner.

Others however did not see any glimmer of hope for the APC presidential candidate.

PoliticsCustoms Generates N26.3bn At Tin-can Port by Anasko(op): 2:29pm On Dec 21, 2015
The Tin-Can Island Port (TCIP) Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on Monday said it generated N26.3 billion in November, up from N24.7 billion generated in October. The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Command, Mr Chris Osunkwo, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos. Osunkwo in his breakdown said that the command generated N15.15 billion from import duty and fees, and N5.4 billion from five per cent Value Added Tax (VAT). He said the Federation Account levies consisting of charges on wheat flour, rice, cigar and wheat grain fetched the command the sum of N2.1 billion. Osunkwo said N3.5 billion paid into the Non- Federation Account by the command was collected from levies on sugar, Iron, Comprehensive Import Supervision Scheme (CISS) and ECOWAS Trade Liberalisation Scheme (ETLS). “In October, we made approximately N24.7 billion, while we made N26.3 billion in November. “A lot of factors are responsible for the increase, particularly the warning by the Area controller of the command, Comptroller Zakari Jibrin, that we must collect every kobo for government. “The level of compliance is gradually improving because we have just celebrated the second anniversary of PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report) “PAAR just clocked two on Dec. 1 and among the things PAAR is here to achieve is to make the trading public become more compliant,’’ Osunkwo said. He said that honest declaration reduced the time in doing business, adding that the level of compliance by importers and exporters had increased. Osunkwo commended the Comptroller-General of Customs, Retired. Col. Hameed Ali, for “taking the service to the next level’’. He said the comptroller-general was working tirelessly in making sure that the service would be the pride of the nation. (NAN)

The Nigerian Army on Thurdaysaid its troops,
deployed for the counter-insurgency in the
troubled North-east, killed 49 Boko Haram
insurgents within the last one week in a series of
assaults in Borno State.
Also during the same period, the army said 150
persons who were being held by the insurgents
as human shields in confrontation with them were
rescued.
It also revealed that several arms, ammunition
and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were
recovered in the battle with the insurgents.
Addressing a press conference in Maiduguri, the
Theatre Commander of the military counter-
insurgency operation in the North-east, Operation
Lafiya Dole, Maj. Gen. Yusha'u Abubakar, said the
operation was carried out in various hideouts of
the Islamists in the Bama-Fulka and Alagarno
axis of Borno.
He said: “It is important to announce that our
gallant troops conducted various operations along
Bama-Fulka and Alagarno areas of Borno State,
which yielded fruitful results in the ongoing fight
against Boko Haram elements.
“During the episode, the troops had an encounter
with some terrorists, who suffered serious
casualties.
“In the Alagarno axis, 15 insurgents were gunned
down, while 34 others were killed along Bama-
Fulka Road. The troops have also rescued 150
people, mostly old men and women, as well as
children.
“The captives who were abducted from their
homes by the terrorists, were being held as
human shields.”
He added that recent successes recorded by the
troops followed the serious setback suffered by
the terrorists after losing their major enclaves.
“Let me make it clear that Boko Haram has been
degraded and weakened by the military after a
series of assaults, and the morale of our troops
has been very high.
“Nigerians are very impressed by the performance
of the task force in recent times. The military has
no time to waste but to crush the remnants of
the terrorists and move forward,” Abubakar said.
Abubakar however regretted that a convoy of
fleeing Boko Haram insurgents ambushed a
convoy of military vehicles along Maiduguri-Bama
Road on Tuesday, killing an officer and soldier.

PoliticsZaria Killings: El-rufai Bans Shi’ites, Others From Blocking Roads by Anasko(op): 9:40pm On Dec 17, 2015
December 15, 2015
The Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai, says
he will set up a judicial commission of inquiry into
last weekend’s deadly clash between the Nigerian
Army and members of the Shi’ia Islamic
Movement, which left more than 60 people dead.
The army said troops used force after members
of the group barricaded a road in Zaria and
attempted to kill the chief of army, Tukur Buratai.
The exact number of casualties is still unclear,
but majority of the victims are believed to be
members of the Shi’ia sect.
Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, the sect’s leader, was
arrested by the military, after his wife and son
were killed in the violence, the group said.
The killings have sparked international
condemnation, with calls for a transparent
investigation.
In a broadcast Thursday, Mr. El-Rufai announced
a ban on processions — in all parts of the state —
that could result in roads being barricaded.
He also said a judicial commission of inquiry
would be set up by the state government to look
into the incident in Zaria.
The governor said the composition and terms of
reference of the commission would be announced
within two weeks.
He assured the people of the state that the
government was committed to securing the state
and upholding the rights of every citizen.
“We have witnessed sad events in Zaria,” the
governor said. “There have been tragic
consequences and needless loss of lives, and we
extend our condolences to the families that have
been affected.”
“In this sombre moment, the government has
directed that steps be taken to address the
humanitarian fallouts of the security operations,”
he said.
Mr. El-Rufai said, “everyone has a fundamental
right to their faiths and beliefs, but no one has
any right to practice their faith in ways that
diminish, distress or inconvenience others”.
He therefore announced that “henceforth, no
person or group, under any guise will be allowed
to block any road, obstruct public highways,
occupy public facilities or inconvenience citizens
in Kaduna State”.
“Anybody that needs to march may do so, but
they cannot take over public facilities or disrupt
social services and commercial activities in
Kaduna State, and any march or procession can
be undertaken only with the prior knowledge of,
and protection of the police to prevent the
breakdown of law and order,” he said.
The commission of inquiry is to be set up under
the Tribunals of Inquiry Act. It will examine the
immediate and remote causes of the Zaria
incident, and assemble a factual and authoritative
account that the government can study and act
upon, he said.
The governor added that he would not tolerate
any escalation of lawlessness, insisting that “the
government continues to invest heavily in security
as a foundation for the successful execution of
our economic and social agenda to develop
Kaduna State”.
“We all should jointly say no to actions that
divide people, reject conduct that ignores or
violates the legal and constitutional rights of
others and oppose practices that contest the
prerogatives of state institutions to safeguard and
protect every citizen,” Mr. El-Rufai said.

nature of job that was given to him and how
much was involved.
Olisa Metuh
Addressing Journalists yesterday, Metuh cried out
that the All Progressives Congress, APC led
Federal Government has concluded plans to
“silence” him.
In a text titled, ” Government Out to Silence Me”
said, “Gentlemen of the press, this press briefing
is expedient, taken into consideration the times
we find ourselves, especially as they relate to me.
“In the last seven months, as opposition
spokesperson, I have been hounded, harassed,
intimidated and threatened severally. In order to
avoid personal and family pressure, I had
refrained from bringing them to the public
domain.
“However, on account of recent information
available to me, I now have cause to believe that
the Federal Government is desperate and may
have finalized plans to silence me.
“Nevertheless, I make bold to state the following:
As someone who has been a private person,
having not taken any public office, the choice of
where, how and when to invest and conduct my
personal business remains my prerogative. In this
regard, I note that I never had any contract
dealings with the immediate past Federal
Government or any of its security apparatus.
“In the course of my duties as the National
Publicity Secretary of our party, the then leader of
our party and President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria invited me and directed that I carry out
some assignment relating to my office and which
he duly funded. It is important to note that the
former President was fully satisfied with the way
and manner I handled the assignment.
“Finally, I reiterate that the present government
should not use the apparatus of state power to
settle personal scores.”

PoliticsOmokri Condemns Silence Of Christian Leaders Over Killings Of Shiites by Anasko(op): 9:16pm On Dec 15, 2015
Pastor Omokri noted that ‘if you are quiet when
Shiites are killed because you are not a Shiite,
don’t be surprised when others are quiet when
your brother is killed’.
“As a Christian, the greatest shame that I feel is
the silence of Christian leaders over the killings of
Shiites. Would Christ be silent!”
“If you are quiet when Shiites are killed because
you are not a Shiite, don’t be surprised when
others are quiet when your brother is killed!,” he
posted on his Twitter handle, @renoomokri




“@GEJ_Official was stoned by youths, not one
youth was killed in retaliation. Human life is
sacrosanct. If others can be killed, you can too!,”
added the former aide of Goodluck Jonathan

I see some people are quick to debunk the statement on behalf of PMB, but if Dasuki had said he gave 100 dollars to mama peace as a birthday gift no one will ask him to prove it.

You people should continue ok.
because they are birds of same feathers.
