PoliticsAttack On Emir: Presidency Hits Back At Buhari by blessedmayor(op): 7:57am On Jan 23, 2013
The Presidency yesterday hit back at Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) leader Gen. Muhammadu Buhari for criticising government over last weekend’s gun attack on Emir of Kano Alhaji Ado Bayero. Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) President Ayo Oritsejafor also said the Federal Government has failed in its commitment to security of the nation. He spoke through a statement on the attack on Alhaji Bayero. A statement in Abuja by the CAN president’s Special Assistant, Media/Public Affairs, Mr. Kenny Ashaka, said: “The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, is saddened by Saturday’s gun attack on the octogenarian and Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero. The attack is disturbing and totally condemnable. This attack reinforces CAN’s call to the Federal Government on the need to do more in the area of securing Nigerians and Nigeria. “Although Nigerians are yet to know those behind the barbaric act, I want to, again, appeal to northern political, religious and traditional leaders to say and do more in order to, practically, engage those responsible for the ‘madness’ going on in northern Nigeria and find ways to help end this nightmare. “Too many innocent lives have been lost in unexplainable and avoidable circumstances and this reminds us of victims of bombed churches and those who have been killed by gunmen in their homes and places of worship. “I will like to remind Nigerians of my call to join me in fasting and prayers on the last Friday of every month, beginning from Friday, the 25th of January, 2013. Nigerians should pray for God’s mercy, an end to wickedness and peace over our dear nation. “As the Emir, his two sons and others injured in the attack recuperate, I wish them speedy recovery and pray to the Almighty God that the healing process should be perfected. I also condole with the families of the local council chairman, the emir’s driver and
the three body guards who were killed in the attack.” Reacting to Gen. Buhari’s statement on the attack on the Emir, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, described Gen. Buhari’s comments as unfortunate, reckless and opportunistic. Gen. Buhari had said the Nigerian state was not just under an ominous cloud of insecurity but all the citizens under the nation space are also victims. Describing the comments by Gen. Buhari and the CPC as “irresponsible”, Okupe cautioned against politicising the attack on the traditional ruler, stressing that the attempt by Gen. Buhari, the CPC
and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to disparage the Federal Government was uncalled for. Okupe said: “Any attempt to politicise this unfortunate attack on the revered Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero and members of his family is irresponsible. “Though the attack itself is regrettable, it is difficult at present to blame it on the Boko
Haram or terrorism, or in fact on some criminal elements within the society that hid under the spate of insecurity in the state to perpetuate this heinous crime.” The President’s aide added that the police and other security agencies were working round the clock to ensure that the perpetrators of the attack are arrested and prosecuted. Okupe cited the recent killing of over 20 school pupils in Connecticut, United States by a gunman to show how difficult it is to prevent crime in any part of the world. “At that moment in the United States, no American citizen or group blamed the killings on the President or the government, in spite of the avalanche of security apparatus and expertise available to the United States Government. “What any responsible government must be able to do is to ensure that the perpetrators of these heinous crimes are apprehended, arrested and prosecuted, according to the laws of the land. “We are not impressed by similar stance by the NLC that is supposed to be non partisan in nature and in all approaches. There is indeed absolutely no need to politicise this unfortunate attack on the revered Emir. “In times like this, like in all emergencies, what the nation ought to do is to pull together in the same direction and encourage the citizenry to give full support to government and all security agencies so as to ensure that the culprits are brought to justice.”

Christianity EtcShould You Fear The End Of The World? by blessedmayor(op): 1:54pm On Jan 07, 2013
How do you feel about
December 21, 2012, the date
on the Maya calendar that
many have been saying
would
bring worldwide change? Depending on what you
expected, you might be
relieved, disappointed, or
indifferent. Was it just
another
incorrect prediction for the end
of the world? What about
“the end of the
world” described in the
Bible?
(Matthew 24:3, King James Version) Some fear that the
earth will be burned up.
Others
are fascinated by end-time
scenarios. Many have simply
grown tired of being told that
the end is near. But could
those be reactions to fiction
rather
than to fact? You might be
surprised to learn what the Bible really says
about the end of the world.
Not only does the Bible give
reasons to look forward to
the
end but it also acknowledges the
frustration that can set in if
the end seems to be
overdue.
We invite you to consider
the Bible’s answers to some
common questions about the
end of the world. Will the
earth be burned
up? THE BIBLE’S ANSWER:
“[God] has founded the earth upon its
established places; it will
not
be made to totter to time
indefinite, or forever.”—
PSALM 104:5. The earth will not be
destroyed, either by fire or
by
any other means. Instead,
the
Bible teaches that this planet is
mankind’s eternal home.
Psalm 37:29 says: “The
righteous themselves will
possess the
earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”—Psalm
115:16; Isaiah 45:18. After
God created the earth, he
said that it “was very good,”
and he still feels that way.
(Genesis 1:31) Far from planning to destroy it, he
promises to “bring to ruin
those ruining the earth”—
and
to protect it from permanent
damage.—Revelation 11:18. You may wonder, though,
about 2 Peter 3:7. That Bible
verse says: “The heavens
and
the earth that are now are
stored up for fire.” Does this not show that the earth will
be
burned up? Actually, the
Bible
sometimes uses the terms
“heavens,” “earth,” and “fire”
figuratively, as symbols. For
example, when Genesis 11:1
says: “All the earth
continued
to be of one language,” it uses
“earth” to mean human
society. The context of 2
Peter 3:7 shows that the
heavens, earth,
and fire mentioned there are
also symbols. Verses 5 and 6
draw a parallel with the
Flood
of Noah’s day. On that
occasion, an ancient world was
destroyed, yet our planet did
not disappear. Instead, the
Flood wiped out a violent
society, or “earth.” It also
destroyed a kind of “heavens”
—the people who ruled over
that earthly society.
( Genesis 6:11) In the same
way, 2 Peter 3:7 foretells
the permanent destruction of wicked society
and its corrupt governments
as
if by fire. What happens at
the
end of the world? THE BIBLE’S ANSWER: “The world
is passing away and so
is its desire, but he that does
the will of God remains
forever.”—1 JOHN 2:17. “The
world” that is to pass away is, not the earth, but
the
world of mankind whose
lives
are not in harmony with
God’s will. Just as a surgeon might
remove a cancerous tumor
to save a patient’s life, God
will
“cut off” the wicked so that
good people can truly enjoy life on earth. (Psalm 37:9) In
that sense, “the end of the
world” is a good thing. Such
a positive view of “the
end of the world” is implied
by the Bible translations that
render this expression “the
conclusion of the system of
things” or “the end of the
age.” (Matthew 24:3; New
International Version) Since both humankind and the
earth
survive the end, does it not
seem reasonable that a new
age, a new system of things,
would follow? The Bible answers yes, for it speaks of
“the coming system of
things.”
—Luke 18:30. Jesus called
that
future period “the renewal of all
things.” At that time,
he will restore
humanity to the conditions
that God
originally intended. (Matthew 19:28, NIV) We
will then enjoy A paradise
earth with securi
and prosperity for all.—Isaia
35:1; Micah 4:4. Work that is
meaningful and satisfying.—Isaiah 65:21-23.
The curing of all disease.—
Isaiah 33:24. The reversal of
aging.—Job 33:25. The
resurrection of the dead.
John 5:28, 29. If we do “the will of God,”
what he asks of us, we need
not fear the end of the
world.
Instead, we can look
forward to it. Is the end of the world
really near? THE BIBLE’S
ANSWER: “When you see
these things occurring,
know that the kingdom of
God is near.”—LUKE 21:31. In the
book The Last Days Are
Here Again, Professor
Richard
Kyle writes that “sudden
change and social chaos create
an atmosphere conducive to
predictions of the end of the
world.” That is especially the
case when the change and
chaos seem hard to explain. However, the Bible prophets
who spoke about the end
were
not trying to explain baffling
events of their day. Instead,
they were inspired by God to
describe conditions that
would indicate an imminent
end of
the world. Consider some of
those prophecies and decide for yourself whether they
are
being fulfilled in our time.
Wars, famines, earthquakes,
and epidemics of deadly
disease.—Matthew 24:7; Luk 21:11. Significant increase in
crime. Matthew 24:12. The
ruining of the earth by
mankind.—Revelation
11:18. People who love
themselves, money, and pleasures but do
not love God.—2 Timothy
3:2, 4. The breakdown of the
family.
—2 Timothy 3:2, 3. General
apathy toward the evidence of the approaching
end.—Matthew 24:37-39. As
Jesus said, seeing “all these
things” lets us know that the
end of the world is near.
(Matthew 24:33)

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Chelsea Sack Di Matteo After Juventus Defeat by blessedmayor(op): 10:50am On Nov 21, 2012
Chelsea have sacked Roberto Di Matteo following their 3-0 defeat to Juventus on Tuesday evening which has put the
club's prospects of qualifying
for the Champions League knockout stage in doubt. The Blues needed a positive
result in Turin to maintain
strong hopes of defending
their European crown, but
Antonio Conte's side destroyed
the Premier League club to leave their chances in ruins. And with their Premier League
form slipping after a bright
start, owner Roman
Abramovich has decided to
sack the manager, with the
club revealing: "Results have not been good enough." A statement on Chelsea's
official website read: "Chelsea
Football Club has parted
company this morning with
Manager Roberto Di Matteo. "The team's recent
performances and results have
not been good enough and the
owner and the Board felt that
a change was necessary now
to keep the club moving in the right direction as we head into
a vitally important part of the
season." The club face a season-defining
period over the coming weeks,
with a clash against Premier
League champions Manchester
City on 25 November followed
by the must-win game against Nordsjaelland on 5 December. The statement continued: "The
club faces a difficult task
ahead in qualifying for the
knockout stages of the UEFA
Champions League as well as
maintaining a strong challenge for the top of the Premier
League while competing in
three other cup competitions.
Our aim is to remain as
competitive as possible and
challenge strongly on all fronts." Despite winning the
Champions League and FA Cup
after taking over from Andre
Villas-Boas in March of the
2011-12 season, Di Matteo is
the latest in a long list of managers who have failed to
appease owner Abramovich. After winning seven of his
eight opening Premier League
games this season, two points
from the last four league
matches and seven points from
a possible 15 in the Champions League have sealed the
Italian's fate. The statement read: "The
owner and the Board would
like to thank Roberto for all he
has done for the club since
taking over in March. Roberto
helped guide us to an historic Champions League victory and
a seventh FA Cup. We will
never forget the huge
contribution he has made to
this club's history and he will
always be welcome at Stamford Bridge. "The club will be making an
announcement shortly
regarding a new first team
manager." by Taboola

PoliticsHow To End Boko Haram Attacks, By ACF by blessedmayor(op): 9:39am On Nov 12, 2012
The North’s premier socio-
political organisation, the
Arewa Consultative Forum
(ACF), has listed ways out of
the Boko Haram insurgency. Boko Haram (western
education is a sin), whose
attacks have led to the death
of thousands of people and
paralysed economic activities
in Borno and Yobe states, last month offered to talk with the
government. As the government weighs the
option presented by the group
to facilitate the talks, the ACF
has raised a 10-point solution
to the insurgency. The Forum demanded that all
those arrested on suspicion of
committing any offence
relating to security challenges
in the region should be
investigated and prosecuted “without undue delay”. It asked Federal and state
governments that had raised
committees and panels on
security challenges in the
North to implement the
recommendations of such committees without
immediately. Besides, the ACF is seeking the
adoption of the United Nations
(UN) ratio of one policeman to
400 citizens in the country. The ACF called for the removal
of immunity clause in the 1999
Constitution to make the
President and governors more
transparent and efficient. The suggestions are contained
in a 19-page “Roadmap for
peace, unity and development
of Nigeria.”. The roadmap, exclusively
obtained by The Nation, was
submitted to the Chairman of
the Northern Governors Forum,
Dr. Babangida Aliyu, by ACF
Chairman Alhaji Aliko M. Mohammed. The ACF said: “Operatives of
intelligence and security
agencies must be given
adequate training and
retraining on a continuous
basis. They must be well- equipped and motivated. “There should be a complete
and purposeful reorganisation
and reorientation of the Police
to make (a) the beat constable
more efficient and effective;
(b) the investigator to exercise independence, professionalism
and efficiency in order to
achieve good results(c)
members of the Police Force
themselves to respect the
human rights of citizens as enshrined in the Constitution. “Ensure proper screening of the
background of all prospective
police recruits using police
apparatus and traditional
institutions i.e. ward, village
and district heads, Emirate Council and similar outfits in
other parts of the country. “Continuously screen the
existing manpower of security
agencies, weed out the unfit
and train and continuously
retrain. “The procedure laid down for
military take-over from the
police during civil unrest or
disorder should be revised and
strictly adhered to. The current
practice of deploying the military too frequently on
police duties should be
discouraged. All such
deployments should be given
adequate legal cover. “Those arrested on suspicion of
committing an offence should
be investigated properly and
prosecuted without undue
delay. “Government should undertake
total reform of the criminal
justice system in order to
achieve speedy dispensation
of justice. “There is continuing debate
about the desirability of “State
Police” but this should be
avoided as we are still not
politically mature enough to
ensure that it is not abused. “In the wake of rising wave of
rising security challenges
across the country, the Federal
and state governments raised
various committees and panels
to investigate and recommend ways of addressing the
problems. Governments are
urged to as much as possible
implement the
recommendations of these
panels without further delay to sustain the public confidence in
such committees. “The Police Council, in
conjunction with the
Inspector-General of Police,
should work out an
establishment for the Force,
based on the United Nations ratio one policeman to 400
citizens The distribution of the
agreed figure should be made
on pro-rata basis. “Thereafter, other factors, such
as industrialization, crime
wave, sophistication and so on
should be taken into
consideration to determine
deployment to the states. “Statistics should show the
manpower contribution by
each state to the Federal Police
and, if any state exhausts its
quota, no recruitment should
be made from that state until vacancy occurs. “This will enhance the sense of
belonging and provide
opportunity for employment of
qualified citizens in the North.
It will also check the
dominance of the police by a section of the country. “State governors should
therefore closely monitor the
recruitment of their citizens in
the Police.” Besides security challenges,
the ACF called for the removal
of the immunity clause from
the 1999 Constitution to enable
the president and governors be
more transparent and efficient. The roadmap said: “Political
leaders must show greater
openness and accountability.
The most serious impediment
to the realization of the goals
of peace, security and development is corruption,
which fosters bad governance.
Bad governance leads to all
sorts of evil; treasury looting,
misplacement of priorities,
nepotism, injustice and distortion of national ideals
and moral values. “There is noticeable disconnect
in the country between the
citizens and governments at all
levels. As a result of rampant
corruption, there is also
noticeable dwindling of resources available to
governments. More positive
impact will be made by
governments in people’s
welfare, if leaders take
concrete steps to eliminate corruption at all levels. “The immunity clause in the
constitution, which is intended
to allow governors and the
President to do their work
unhindered, has become a
cover behind which some hide to drain the treasury with
impunity. This clause should be
expunged from the
Constitution. “No group is so pampered by
the corrupt Nigerian
environment, is so protected
from the consequences of their
actions and so compensated
for their inadequacies than political office holders. As a
result, politics seems to be the
only thriving in the North. Good
governance needs to be
enthroned to reverse this ugly
trend.”

Messi, who on monday already
grabbed the European Golden Shoe award for scoring 50 La
Liga goals last season, being
eager to score his third
consecutive award. Real Madrid star Cristiano
Ronaldo is expected to be a
strong contender for the
prestigious prize as well,
having played a big role in his

long-term injury. For Arsenal, Abou Diaby may
make his return from a thigh
injury, but Theo Walcott picked
up a nasty looking rib injury in
England’s 5-0 hammering of
San Marino and will miss the trip to Carrow Road, as will
Kieran Gibbs (thigh) Bacary Sagna, Wojciech
Szczesny and Jack Wilshere are
still being eased into
competitive football after
long-term injuries, while
Tomas Rosicky (leg) could return to training next week. Arsene Wenger's main
headache will be over who to
play up front. Gervinho has
been in form so far this season,
but Olivier Giroud followed his
first Premeir League goal against West Ham with a last-
gasp equaliser for France
against Spain on Tuesday. DID YOU KNOW? Arsenal have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League
away games, winning seven
and drawing four. Norwich, in stark contrast, have only won one of their last
12 Premier League matches,
losing seven. The Gunners have an excellent
record at the home of the
Canaries - they're unbeaten in
their last twelve trips to
Carrow Road. Santi Cazorla has scored more
goals from outside the box
than any other player in the
top European leagues since
August 2011, with nine. Maybe expect a long range
screamer from the Spaniard on
Saturday evening then -
Norwich have conceded the
most goals from outside the
box of any Premier League side, with five. Norwich striker Steve Morison
was amongst
the goals last season - scoring
against the Gunners both home
and away.

Anyway, 4 ђã†̥ its worth, Persistent application of Olive oil after bath will do d trick.

A more pronounced SM will need Vitamin E capsule broken, and mixed with Avocado oil also to be applied twice a day after bath.

Daily exercise is also a remedy to it.

It should however be born in mind that d solution is not instanta. Time and dedication is needed.

Hold the door open for her. Let

around you. Women like to feel
special, and by treating her like a lady she will think you
