My pastor's marriage crashed last year, thou the marriage produced children and the parting seems unreconcilable even thou i think it fell on domestic issues and also the fact that the wife doesn't really flow with the pastoral call of the husband as her pastor husband wish her to.

Recently the man of God was talking about it and he said that he will take a new wife very soon anytime he is ready, and he ask us whether its scriptural but we just giggled and he told us that it is scriptural that we should open the book of 1 corinthians 7:14-15 "for the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband, else where your children unclean but now are they holy; but if the unbelieving depart,let him depart, a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases:but God has called us to peace...

This actually was a little bit confusing to me, since the wife in question wasn't an unbeliever... Is my pastor right with his assertions?

Your Pastor na confirmed guy man. signs of end times.

Born in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, Iheme progressed through Wolverhampton Wanderers' academy and made the first team squad in their 2003–04 Premier League season. Due to Matt Murray's long term injury (The then number one choice), he was promoted to the substitutes' bench for a string of games but he never played.

To gain first team action, he moved on loan to League Two side Accrington Stanley.[3] He made senior debut on 16 October 2004 when he played the first of four games for them, keeping a clean sheet at Aldershot Town. He also had a further loan move to Stockport County in Autumn 2005 which was cut short due to a hand injury.

He finally made his Wolves debut the following season, in a 5–1 win over Chester City in the League Cup on 23 August 2005.[5] However, although often on the bench, he had to wait until 26 August 2006 for his first league appearance for the club when he appeared as a late substitute in a 1–0 win over Luton Town.[6]

Iheme suffered a knee injury during the 2006–07 season and had to undergo surgery, which kept him out of contention until late 2007. After recovering, he was an unused substitute or only employed in reserve team fixtures. It was not until September 2008 that he got his chance to return to Wolves' first team after regular keeper Wayne Hennessey was suspended.[7] Impressing, he enjoyed his longest run of games in a Wolves shirt until injury ruled him out for the remainder of the season, during which the club went on to claim the Championship and reach the Premier League.

What is wrong with the Ladies of today? It is either fine face, curvy hips, big boobs or big boots, intelligence and good manners have been relegated to the background. Anyway, May God have mercy on all the bachelors.

Chairman, Governing Council, Plateau State University, Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Thursday assumed work by inspecting some projects and presiding over the council’s meeting in Bokkos, near Jos.

The projects inspected by the former INEC boss, shortly after their inauguration by Governor Simon Lalong, include the N114 million TETFund Lecture Halls and Offices.

Others were the N72 million Entrepreneurship Centre and the N69 million 250-capacity theatre.

The university’s Acting Director of Works, Mr. Aku Ayok, who took the council members round the projects, said most of the projects were TETFund’s with some completed while others at near completion.

The PLASU Vice Chancellor, Prof Doknan Sheni, said the greatest challenge of the university was non-accreditation and funding.

“A total of 319 of our students could not graduate last year due to the issue of non-accreditation of our courses by NUC and we still have another set of 400 students in their final year,” the VC lamented.

Sheni said there was need for the rapid infrastructural development in the university and recruitment of the staff to meet up with the NUC accreditation.

Jega, who expressed gratitude to the Plateau Government over the appointment, said the university was founded on very lofty objectives with a very good mission and vision statements.

According to him, the role of the council is defined by law and that it will do everything possible to see that staff worked together to stimulate the growth and development of the university.

Axeurdaddy:
A Professor of Computer Engineering at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, Godwin Ighalo, has won the sum of N58,945,553, after placing bets with N800 in 1960Bet.

It is the biggest sum ever won in the history of sports betting in Nigeria. The sexagenarian accomplished the feat after placing bets on two different bet slips of N500 and N300.

On the N500 ticket, Prof Ighalo won N36,840,971.25 while the N300 slip won him N22,104,582.75. Ighalo, who was accompanied by two of his relatives, on Wednesday, received his cheque at the head office of the country’s top sports betting company in Lagos.

On how he was able to achieve the feat, Ighalo said,
“Since my childhood days, I used to have strong
interests in probability, relationships and special
intelligence. All these with adequate sports betting research I conducted over the years, helped in making it possible.”

He hailed 1960BET for their honesty and commitment to their customers, adding he was sure he would be paid his money in full by the sports betting company, despite doubts in some quarters that they won’t be able to pay.

He said, “I was sure the company would pay if I win. I have tried in the past without winning and always believe that one day luck will shine on me.
“There were a lot of people out there who expressed doubts on whether they will be able to pay the money, but 1960Bet has demonstrated that they are a reliable sports betting company with this prompt payment. Immediately I arrived at their office, they called me in and the money was paid into my account.”

The Managing Director of 1960BET, Mr Dotun
Ajegbile, said the company, with the prompt payment of the money, has enhanced its position as the most consistent sports betting firm in Nigeria.

“Now it is clear that 1960BET is the most consistent, having paid more winnings in the history of sports betting in Nigeria; we have been paying since 2010.
We have made it top priority in the new season to honour all transactions online and retail while
guaranteeing the best odds at all times and undiluted gaming excitement in all our shops.”

Na wash. Why is the photograph so dark?

Human rights lawyer, Mr. Festus Keyamo, has criticised the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, for faulting President Muhammdu Buhari’s approach to fighting corruption.

Kukah, in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH last week, had said, “Buhari can and should learn from ex-President (Olusegun) Obasanjo who got back so much of the loots after he came in without any noise. I recall him saying that even pastors helped to bring back loots from repentant parishioners.

“I believe the President, using the intelligence resources available, should consider surprise as the most vital tool in this fight. My worry has not been about not probing as some of my critics falsely think. I have been saying ‘think, plan and execute.’ If you make so much noise, vital evidence, data and files will be destroyed by collaborators in the civil service or the relevant offices.”

But Keyamo flayed the cleric’s argument, saying Buhari should be commended, as long as his efforts were successful in ensuring accountability.

“Whether it is publicly or quietly, the end product is to recover the loot. Who told Kukah that noise does not achieve results? Let us wait till the end of the day and see whether it will achieve results or not,” Keyamo said.

The lawyer further flayed the Peoples Democratic Party and apologists of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration for Buhari’s anti-Jonathan probe.

Five months after losing power to the All Progressives Congress, the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday begged Nigerians to join the opposition party.

The party said Nigerians interested in the PDP were free to do so without any condition.

It said that both the new and the old members would be treated equally.

The Acting National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, stated this in Abuja on Wednesday.

He spoke during the inauguration of the PDP e-Membership Registration Committee.

The committee is headed by Chief Raymond Dokpesi.

Secondus said with the idea of e-registration becoming a reality, godfatherism would soon become a thing of the past in the party.

He said, “This occasion is significant to us as a party because it is a dream come true.

“You will recall that the idea of having an electronic membership registration for our party has been in the works for so many years…

“I’m appealing to all Nigerians to come and join us. There is room for everybody. Journalists here are also free to join us and become our members.”

He said for the party to succeed in its objective of rebuilding, its leaders must be courageous enough to implement the e-membership registration now.

The acting chairman of the party, which ruled Nigeria for 16 years, said that everybody agreed that this solution was imperative for any organisation that wanted to run efficiently in the IT-driven world.

He said, “We believe that for us to succeed in our objective of rebuilding the party, we must be courageous enough to implement the e-membership registration now.

“Everybody agrees that this solution is imperative for any organisation that wants to run efficiently in the IT driven world we find ourselves.

“Also, it is obvious that this is the only thing that would empower the grassroots and ensure internal democracy in the operations of the party.”

He said that the committee had what he described as a onerous task of marketing the programmes of the PDP to ensure members that the exercise would be transparent.

He added that the committee should work with the aim of returning the party to the people.

“Look at our slogan, which is ‘Power to the People.’ We are now returning the party to the people. While the committee will determine the cost, the duration of this exercise is just six months,” he added.

Dokpesi, who is the chairman of the committee, promised that the exercise would be transparent.

Some other members of the committee, which has the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the party, Senator Walid Jibril as secretary include Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, Governor Ibrahim Dankawambo of Gombe State and Senator Godswill Akpabio as members.

I Think This Should Be A Crime Henceforth.

THERE is no doubt that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has portrayed himself in recent times as a governor that believes so much in prayers as there is hardly any Sunday that the Ikwerre-born politician is not seen among congregations of different Christian denominations.

Ordinarily, clerics would not have noticed Wike as a man that has a penchant for going to church to pray, but because he occupies a position of authority, he is always the cynosure of all eyes any time he is in church.

Before the heat of the general election in March and April 2015, the governor’s level of appearances in churches was not as high as it is now.

Within the past one month, he has been to many churches seeking and getting prayers for himself and the success of his administration.

Just last week, Wike was at the Royal House of Grace International Church where another guest of the church and a renowned cleric, Dr. Uma Ukpai, prayed for him and described him as an asset to the state.

The General Overseer of the Royal House of Grace, Apostle Zilly Aggrey, also prayed for the governor.

A week before his visit to Apostle Aggrey’s church, Wike had been to The Lord’s Chosen Church, Pastor Lazarus Mouka where he also got a large dose of prayers from the general overseer of the church. It was at the Lord’s Chosen Church that he ordered that a major road leading to the church be reconstructed based on his pledge during his previous visit before the general election.

The ‘praying governor’ has also received clerics from the Methodist Church and Archibishop Ignatius Kattey of the Anglican Church at the Government House in Port Harcourt and none of them left without praying for him and the success of his administration.

There is no doubt that this coming Sunday, Wike is likely to be found on his knees in a church praying or being prayed for.

With such an outpouring of prayers for Wike, his supporters hope that the ongoing election petition tribunal will rule in his favour.

The husband and son of immediate past Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, are set to open a multi-million dollar hospital in the Gwarimpa area of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
https://saharareporters.com/sites/default/files/styles/normal_medium/public/Iweala_hospital.jpg?itok=zhgQztJE
Prototype of Iweala's multi-million dollar hospital in Abuja

Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala’s husband, Ikemba Iweala, and their son, Uchechi Iweala, are teaming up to establish the Capital Health and Surgical Care Center in Abuja. Both men, who are medical doctors, will serve as chairman of the board and medical director respectively at the medical facility described as state of the art. 

The hospital was originally to be formally opened last June by former President Goodluck Jonathan, on the assumption that he would be reelected. Mr. Jonathan’s defeat froze the idea.

Information available on the hospital’s website, http://www.chscnigeria.com/home/page?id=Press, states that the hospital “is conceived to improvetertiary-level healthcare delivery in Nigeria and Greater West Africa by providing top-rate service of international standard.” The hospital, which has been quietly under construction and development in the last three years, is equipped with 50 beds, three operating rooms, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and CT scan.

The undisclosed financiers of the project apparently spared no expense in conceiving the project. The project’s architectural design was undertaken by Perkins + Will Global (http://perkinswill.com), a major player in the world’s architectural scene. The firm is based in Washington, DC with offices in more than 24 countries all over the world. The firm of architects has designed various multi-billion dollar projects in the US, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. The hospital’s interior design was done by Perkins + Will/DAR Group.

Another US-based multinational company, General Electric, handled the hospital’s technological equipment and infrastructure. The project does not list any indigenous Nigerian company as being involved in the conception or execution of any aspect of the hospital. 

While the hospital’s website does not provide any cost estimate, two sources familiar with the project claimed that the Iweala’s hospital cost between$100 and $150 million.

An Abuja-based architect also told this reporter that the profile Perkins + Wills suggested that the hospital was pricey. “If we go by the scale of projects that Perkins + Wills gets involved in, then we can conclude that this was a major project,” the US-trained architect said.

Screenshot of Dr. Iwealas announcing the project

The hospital’s website provides no information about the financing of the project. SaharaReporters contacted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to ascertain whether the anti-corruption agency knew the financial backers of the project. “No, we are not aware,” a senior EFCC official told our correspondent. He added that the agency had no reason to investigate the source of the hospital’s funds. He added, “The only issue is that the arrowheads of the hospital are family members of the former Coordinating Minister of the Economy. But we cannot just investigate unless we receive information that public funds were somehow committed to the project.”

This is a very good development. I believe the funds used for the execution of this projects are earned legitimately.

How much is it?

Last year over 1.5 million people were diagnosed with cancer. But few people know that foods they are eating contain deadly carcinogens or are harming them in a way that might cause cancer. Is what you are eating killing you?

1. Highly Processed White Flours

After refining, processed white flours not only lose most all of their nutrients but they are also bleached with a chemical called chlorine gas. The EPA sites this gas as dangerous, irritant, that can be lethal. It is also very highly glycemic and bad for your blood sugar. Not only are they making us fat they might also be contributing to rising cancer rates.

2. Microwave Popcorn

Everybody loves a yummy bag of popcorn. Making it in the microwave is easy and convenient. Unfortunately, according to wikipedia the bags of microwave popcorn are lined with perfluorooctanoic acid ( PFOA). This chemical is also found in Teflon. Studies have shown that this chemical can be linked with infertility in women and exposure significantly increases risk of kidney, bladder, liver, pancreas and testicular cancers. Find more out at cancer.org. Many microwave popcorns also still use diacetyl which Conagra stopped using due to employees using it getting lung cancer.

3. Alcohol

Over consumption of alcohol can lead to many health issues including diabetes, obesity and many types of cancers. A recent study showed that postmenopausal women who drank one drink per day or less had a 30% increase in breast cancer rates than women who did not drink at all. Alcohol is the 2nd leading cause of cancer following tobacco. Experts working with the World Health Organization Research on Cancer found evidence that alcohol is the main cause of mouth, esophagus, liver, colon, mouth, rectum, and female breast cancers.

4. Artificial Sweeteners

If you have to avoid sugar, are on a diet or have diabetes you might be using artificial sweeteners. However, many studies show that people usually GAIN weight when using them and can make it harder to control blood sugar. More studies are coming out that show aspertame, when broken down becomes a deadly toxin called DKP. This breakdown of chemicals is known to cause certain brain tumors.

5. Processed Meats

Like some hot dogs, sausages, bacon and other processed meats? Most of them have excessive salts and chemicals. Some studies show that people who regularly eat processed meats increased their chance of early death by as much as 43%. Sodium Nitrates are the biggest offenders and also a well know carcinogen with smoked meats being particularly bad.

6. Refined Sugars and Soda Pop

Many believe that refined sugars are the preferable food for cancer cells which helps them grow. High Fructose Corn Syrup being one of the main culprits because it is most easily metabolized by cancer cells. This puts most cakes, sodas, sauces, juices, etc on the NO NO list.. Sorry sweet tooths!

7. Canned Foods

Many canned foods and obviously found in cans. Most cans are lined with a chemical called bisphenol-A or BPA. Study about 2 years ago showed that BPA’s affect the way genes worked inside rats’ brains. The FDA seems to agree this is a problem and is supporting efforts to reduce, replace or eliminate the amounts found in canned foods. The high acidity leaves tomatoes more dangerous because they can leech the BPA more readily from the can lining.

8. Potato Chips

They sure make a great tasting quick snack but the negative effects far outweigh the short term pleasure. High in both fat and calories the cause weight gain. Add in often high Trans-Fats with sodium and you have the recipe for cancer and heart disease related health problems.

9. Smoked, Pickled and Salted!

These foods often have nitrates that turn into N-nitroso that is associated with higher cancer risks when digested. Smoked meats that are high in fat can help lead to stomach and colorectal cancer.

10. Hydrogenated Oils

These are vegetable oils. They must be chemically removed from their source and are often deodorized and colored. Also, excessive Omega-6 fatty acids cause health problems.

Kemi Arobieke, May your gentle soul rest in peace.

My girlfriend is an official member of a leading Pentecostal church and she takes her religion seriously – so much so that she always recoils at the idea of having sex. She says it’s against the teachings of the Bible. This makes me sad. I am a Christian myself and I go to a reputable orthodox church from time to time. My girlfriend’s attitude is really upsetting me. I know a lot of our religious friends who are happy in fulfilling sexual relationships, why should our situation be different? At times I even wonder if she’s not hiding something more sinister from me. I’ve asked her to reach some sort of compromise by giving me MouthAction but she says nothing can be done sexually until we are married. It seems as if she is using her religion as a bait for us to get married. What can I do? If she turns out to be a pig-in-a-poke after we get married, what could I do? Do you think there’s anything I can say to change her views? I want her so much.

Please advice on what to do.

www.vanguardngr.com

AN ad hoc group of influential Nigerians, known as the National Peace Committee, has been parading the corridors of power of late, scheming to exploit its connections at the highest level of government to advance a suspicious agenda. Led by a former head of state, Abdulsalami Abubakar, the NCP contingent met with President Muhammadu Buhari last week to “update him on the activities of the committee and how members could help nurture peace in the country.” The intention about peace is apparently noble, but the agenda of the committee is nebulous and its real motive is unclear and questionable.

Their mission, which was to emerge after the meeting, is to advise Buhari to tread with caution in his iron-cast resolve to rid the country of corruption and culture of impunity. In its sanctimonious arrogance, the self-appointed group purportedly lectured Buhari: “This is no longer a military regime and under our existing laws everybody is innocent until proven guilty,” Matthew Kukah, a Catholic priest and their spokesman, said. Although investigations are ongoing, the group jumped to the conclusion that the rule of law had not been followed.

Uncomfortable with the public perception of the NCP mission, Kukah, the priest who claimed to have empanelled the committee in the first instance, said there was no way that he or any member of the committee could have been told to go and beg Buhari for favour in anything relating to corruption. “His body language does not suggest that and only a fool would undertake that kind of mission.”

But Kukah unveiled the true mission of the NCP when he deployed shrill rhetoric in an interview later that Nigerians should be eternally grateful to Jonathan for conceding defeat in an election he clearly lost. As he puts it, “the singular decision that Jonathan took and I think that, as Nigerians, we must become sufficiently serious and realise that that singular act is what has kept us as a nation. So, I think that even for that singular act alone, Nigerians must be appreciative of what President Jonathan did…even if he stole all the money in the world.”

That is a patently dishonest argument. It also raises larger questions about our values. Whatever peace deal the NCP struck, it only offered Jonathan a ladder to climb down. The appalling revelations of financial scandal and corruption that engulfed his administration like a dust cloud also enraged Nigerians.According to Adams Oshiomhole, governor of Edo State, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation allegedly withheld N3.8 trillion out of the N8.1 trillion the country earned from crude oil sales between 2012 and 2015. In another telling insight, the Department of Petroleum Resources was alleged not to have remitted N109.7 billion royalty from oil firms, while a minister in the last government reportedly made away with $6 billion. The Niger Delta Development Commission has not accounted for N183 billion, while $13 billion dividends from the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas is also said to be unaccounted for. All this must not be lost in the heat of partisan warring. Open government is the very essence of democracy.

But it sounds even more comical that Buhari has reaffirmed the need for this committee to continue and robed it with the title “council.” The group that came into prominence during the 2015 general election, over the fear that there might be violence after the elections, if it had any relevance at all, should consider its assignment completed. Its rumoured peace deal brokered between the two presidential candidates then was at best a good gesture to save a good friend from self-destruction. Now, the NCP, which also has the likes of Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto; Ayo Oritsejafor, president, Christian Association of Nigeria; John Onaiyekan and Nicholas Okoh (both clergymen), has become a distraction, a veritable platform for making excuses for tainted former public office holders. What manner of advice or intervention do most of the NCP members want to give Buhari beyond what can be offered by the existing constitutional bodies of which some of them are already members?

Indeed, Buhari erred in conferring such specious legitimacy on the NCP. As a group, the committee has the right to come together either as a pressure or interest group, but certainly not with an official stamp. Running government through illegal ad hoc committees should not happen again. The 1999 Constitution makes provision for enough bodies and agencies through which the Nigerian state should operate.

The Third Schedule assigns the role of advising the President on a number of issues to the Council of State, where Abdulsalami holds a permanent seat. This includes “the maintenance of public order within the Federation or any part thereof and on such other matters as the President may direct.” There is also the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council, similarly initiated as a voluntary association, but which the Olusegun Obasanjo government later granted the quasi-government agency status, and where Oritsejafor and the Sultan’s positions are secured.

Under Buhari, Nigeria has a rare opportunity to make a break with the oppressive yoke of corruption. And in waging the war, there should not be any sacred cow. There must be no room to tolerate crooked public officials and those who hope for windfalls from powerful friends in high places. Last April, the anti-corruption war in Guatemala claimed a major scalp when the vice-president, whose private secretary was implicated in a fraud that saw the customs reducing import duties for kickbacks, was forced to resign his job. The President, Perez Molina, ordered his deputy’s bank accounts frozen, property raided and banned from travelling abroad during the period of investigation.

It is said that peace without justice is tyranny. Buhari should set the wheel of justice rolling without let or hindrance. “Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organised conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them,” Frederick Douglas, an African-American writer and statesman, once said, “neither persons nor property will be safe.''
