Politics › Church Set Ablaze In Ilorin by Codedrock(op): 4:34am On Feb 27, 2013
The Prayer, Faith and Miracle Ministry, a church located at Asa Dam area in Ilorin, capital of the central Nigerian state of Krawa was on Tuesday burnt down by yet to be identified persons.
The church which is also known as Ori-Oke Majemu Agbara was said to have been set ablaze todaywhen none of the church members or security guard was around.
The suspected arsonists also burnt musical instruments, and public address system kept in the church but spared the bible and portraits of Jesus Christ which they removed to the frontage of the church.
They also reportedly carted away about 400 plastic chairs being used by the congregation and clerics of the church during
service.
Pastor in charge of the church, Paul Adekeye, said the building had been badly burnt before they got wind of the development and invited the fire fighters to douse the flame.
He said the part-time security guard they employed to watch over the church did not come for duty when the incident occurred on the excuse that his wife was indisposed.
Adekeye said they had no quarrel over the land save about five years ago when a man from Baboko area of the town who claimed to be the estate agent in charge of it asserted that the land was not meant for church building.
He said the man had since aroundthat time stopped coming to disturb them when he was disowned by the owner of the land who sold it to the church. The pastor, who said they could not yet suspect anybody as the perpetrator of the arson, disclosed that the church has reported the matter to the police and the Department of State Security Service and that
they had come to inspect it and promised to carry out full investigation on it.
Adekeye, who said property destroyed in the arson was worthmillions of Naira, urged the state government to come to the aide of the church in reconstructing the building.
Also reacting to the development, the secretary of neighborhood Christian Association Of Nigeria (CAN), Ayetoro/Jooro district in Asa Dam area, Gabriel Olasunkanmi Taiwo said urged the state government to interveneto ensure that an end
is put to burning of churches in the town.
Another church, a branch of Living Faith Church was burnt in the town about three months agowith the state
CAN suspecting a renowned University Islamic lecturer being the instigator of the arson.

How difficult was it for you to
step out of the shadows of
disappointment early in life?
I am the last child in a family of
six. My father had a degree in
demography from the then
University of Ife (now Obafemi
Awolowo University), while my
mother studied Mathematics and
Statistics at the Kwara State
Polytechnic.
Significant to my growing up
experience was my dad’s death
while I was four years old. My
mother was very strong through
those years and through her, I
learnt to trust in God from
childhood. My mother, out of her
caring attitude resigned from her
banking job before my dad’s
death, when she noticed we
were not doing so well in school.
After my father’s death, rather
than returning to her banking
job, she felt we needed her more
than ever before. Even though it
appeared to be one of the most
ridiculous things to do at that
time, God really used her to
ensure that we all had a very
good upbringing.
She chose to be her own boss in
order to spend more time with
her children.
She is 50 now and her happiness
is that we are all graduates of
various universities.
When did it dawn on you that
you have special academic
talent?
Learning comes naturally to me
although there is a reason for
that. I went through three
primary schools in Ilorin and
Lagos States before completing
my primary education at Fun Bell
Nursery and Primary School,
Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos. I can
remember that almost everything
learnt was through songs and
we had to sing so many of them
on the assembly ground each
morning.
I was not comfortable with it
because it was different from the
background I had in Ilorin but I
adjusted in a short time.
Those things actually helped
because all the formulas I had to
remember in examinations were
the lyrics ofthe songs, so I only
had to recall the songs to get the
formulas. Soon, they started
coming naturally whenever I
wanted to remember anything
learnt in the classroom.
At Government Junior College,
Agege, Lagos State, I was the
assistant senior prefect and
became the senior prefect during
my senior secondary school days.
These were public schools and
there I learnt to hold my own in
the midst of different people
with different family
backgrounds. It was quite an
experience!
What were the challenges you
experienced when you got to
university before you clocked
16?
My journey to the university
wasnot difficult because I
prepared for the transition. I had
seven distinctions and two
credits while I was in SS2 and
scored 271 in the University
Matriculation Examination (now
Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination) while in my final
secondary class. I also scored 80
per cent in the UNILAG’s post-
UME test.
Apart from personal effort, my
siblings, who had been in
UNILAG shared their experiences
with me and their
encouragement made my
admission process faster. My
name came out on the merit list
for the 2008/2009 academic
session. I was barely 16.
I faced tougher competition at
the university because I was no
longer a ‘local champion’ as I
used to be. Every secondary
school’s bests were well
represented and I faded fast into
the background. I had no hostel
accommodation and was living
with fellow coursemates in them.
There were various social groups
but I had no interest. There
weremany things going on in the
school that I considered as
distractions, so I kept to my
studies and it helped me regain
my confidence that I could be
thebest again.
How did you handle
pressurefrom your friends to
join them in social activities?
As a child, I was trained to be
independent. So despite my
young age, I knew how to take
decisions on my own and
maintain my position. At UNILAG,
many ladies received more
telephone calls between 7pm
and 11pm and to which the
common response was, “Are you
downstairs? Okay, I’m coming.”
From there, they went out with
some guys and only return
around midnight when the gates
to the hostels were about to be
closed.
The fresh students were
particularly more willing to
explore freedom but I was not, in
the least, swayed. Eventually, by
the time first semester results
were out, I topped my class and
by then many others learnt their
lessons. Of course, I learnt so
many new things too. The
importance of networking was
one of them.
Did you have a boyfriend
oncampus or anywhere?
No, I did not have a boyfriend on
campus or anywhere else.
But you must have noticed some
interest from some guys in the
school?
I saw nothing wrong in having a
boyfriend anyway, but I thought
Iwas too young for serious
relationship. I knew I still had
enough time on my hands. So,
there was really no need to rush
into it. I believed that having
one,especially in the early years
of my education, might have
being asource of distraction.
It would mean obligatory
outings; constant
communication and probably
emotional disturbance; being in
the library for six hours and
concentrating for only two
hours; reading at the pace of
two pages per hour and all the
other hindrances. It would have
had a negative effect on my
effectiveness as a student,
especially as it would mean I
would have to share my time;
time that was ever fleeting.
Did you actually study hard for
the purpose of leaving as the
best student?
I wanted to be the best and I
worked towards it but more
importantly, I did not want to
disappoint my mother who told
me that I would graduate with
the best result in my department.
I did the most important thing,
which was to pray. I can still
remember one heart-felt prayer
Isaid, just before resumption,
while studying and God was
faithful.
I chose Mass Communication
because I wanted to affect the
world by my write-ups. I
particularly want to write and
change lives.
Actually, my sister also studied
Mass Communication in UNILAG
and she once came home to
inform everyone that there had
been no full-time student with a
First Class in 30 years or
thereabout in the department.
Knowing my intention to study
Mass Communication in the same
university, my mother said with
an air of confidence, “Tutu will
go and break the record.” My
elder brother had also told
everyone who cared to listen and
I did not want to disappoint
them.
By faith, I knew God really
answers the effective, heartfelt
prayer of righteous men. Hence, I
knew I was going to graduate
with a first class. Many other
people before me were excellent
too but they did not come out
with a first class. I graduated
with a cumulative grade point
average of 4.69 and I was also
the best graduating student in
the department.
How do you feel attaining such
academic feat and what is your
plan for the future?
I am really elated and grateful to
God for He is the lifter of my
head. Much more, I’m grateful
because I didn’t just come out
with good grades. Since I love to
teach and write, I plan to lecture
after my studies and to blog
along with it as well. The
educational sector needs fresh
hands and the blogosphere
needs to be cleared of what I
term ‘vanity blogging.’
Who is your role model?
I have more of mentors than role
models. My mentors are my
mother; Ebimoboere Agbiki of
Fotizo Ministry; and Pastor Isaac
Idowu of the Great Light Ministry.
My mother, because she is such a
beauty inside out; I remember
the assistance she offered when
I had very poor grades in
mathematics in Junior Secondary
School. She took it upon herself
to teach me personally after
school. And then, I went on to
have A1 in SSCE, despite the fact
that I was in arts department.
From her, I have learnt about
sacrifice and I think parents do
not have to work so hard or pay
huge school fees for their
children in order to make them
academically excellent, if only
they can sacrifice their time and
be available for their children
andwards.
So what do you have to say
about Adetutu Wande-Kayode?
We pray God keep granting her
success in her career.

Celebrities › Happy Birthday Rihanna by Codedrock(op): 6:26am On Feb 21, 2013
To celebrate her 25th birthday , we’re sharing a Rihanna song to match every relationship status, highlighting how her lyrics manage to strike a chord.
https://gistville.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Rihanna-Love-Lyrics.jpg
With hits that touch on attraction, breakups, makeups, and everything in between, here are nine Rihanna songs to suit every relationship status.
Here we go……
1. The OMG Infatuation
The song: ”S.O.S. (Rescue Me)”
S.O.S., please, someone help me
It’s not healthy for me to feel thisway
Y.O.U. are making this hard
I can’t take it, see, it don’t feel right
Why it works: Sometimes those normal, flirty butterflies of a crush can start to feel over-the-top obsessive.

2. Hopelessly Devoted
The song: ”Hate That I Love You”
And I hate how much I love you, boy
I can’t stand how much I need you
And I hate how much I love you, boy
But I just can’t let you go
And I hate that I love you so
Why it works: No matter what’s happened or what kind of relationship has ended, it’s nevereasy to let go of someone you’ve loved.

3. Dating
The song: ”What’s My Name”
You’re so amazing
You took the time to figure me out
That’s why you take me
Way past the point of turning meon
Why it works: Commitment comes when somebody invests time in a relationship and moves it into more emotional territory.

4. Broken Up
The song: ”Take a Bow”
Don’t tell me you’re sorry, ’cause you’re not, baby
When I know you’re only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going, but now it’stime to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show, very entertaining
But it’s over now, go on and takea bow
Why it works: When someone’s cheated or been dishonest in a relationship, walking away can be the best way to go.
5. The On-Again, Off-Again Relationship
The song: ”Complicated”
Sometimes I get you
Sometimes I don’t understand
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes it’s you I can’t stand
Sometimes I wanna hug you
Sometimes I wanna push you away
Most times I wanna kiss you
Other times, punch you in the face
Why it works: Not every relationship can be smooth sailing, and sometimes it can turn into a game. When two people aren’t on the same page, you’re stuck with the on-again, off-again dynamic.

6. Single
The song: ”Where Have You Been”
I’ve been everywhere, man
Looking for someone
Someone who can please me
Love me all night long
I’ve been everywhere, man
Looking for you, babe
Looking for you, babe
Searching for you, babe
Why it works: Relationships are all about finding the right timing,and when you’re single, it can feel like a waiting game.

7. It’s Complicated
The song: ”Stay”
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can’t live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Why it works: When there’s a connection that you can’t put into words, it’s hard to know exactly how you feel or why you feel that way.

8. Friends With Benefits
The song: ”S&M”
Love is great, love is fine
Out the box, out of line
The affliction of the feeling
Leaves me wanting more
Why it works: A no-strings-attached physical relationship can seem like a good idea, but it’s not easy when there are feelings involved.

9. In a Relationship
The song: ”Umbrella”
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be a friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know than we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
Why it works: It’s not always rainbows and butterflies in a committed relationship, and partof making it work is choosing to be loyal and supportive even during the toughest times.

Celebrities › Goldie's Death: Goldie Was ‘brought In Dead’ –hospital by Codedrock(op): 3:50pm On Feb 16, 2013
Nigeria’s singing sensation Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey, popularly known as Goldie who died last Thursday was dead on arrival at Reddington hospital where she was rushed to. Management of the hospital disclosed this yesterday while confirming the sad incident.
The confirmation comes even as another Nollywood actor, Lugard Onoyemu was said to have slumped and died while playing football on the pitch of the national stadium, Surulere, Lagos yesterday. A statement by the hospital’s Corporate Affairs Manager, Franklyn Ovbigbahon, stated that around 7.30 pm on Thursday February 14, 2013, “a high profile media personality was brought to the Reddington Hospital.
She was clinically dead on arrival at the hospital.” The statement further said that despite that fact, some emergency response staff on duty made every effort to resuscitate her adding that the case was now being handled by the Coroners Office to determine the cause of her death. The hospital however offered its condolences to the family of the deceased on the unfortunate incident.
Goldie who represented Nigeria inlast year’s edition of the reality show Big Brother Africa was said to have taken ill soon after returning from the United States where she had gone to attend the2013 Grammy Awards that held last weekend. Goldie reportedly died after an asthma crisis. Just asNigerians, especially music lovers are trying to come to terms with the sudden death of Goldie, a Nollywood actor, Lugard Onoyemu has been reported dead.
Onoyemu who was the pioneer secretary of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Lagos chapter slumped and died during a football training yesterday evening at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos. Confirming his death, the state chairman of the Guild, Emeka Rising Ibe said that the deceased who had been battling a heart related ailment, was immediately rushed to the hospital but couldn’t make it.
Ibe added that Onoyemu’s body has been deposited at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). With tear soaked eyes, an actress, Angela Phillips said “ I couldn’t cry when I heard the death of Goldie but up till now, I have not stopped crying since I heard of the death of Lugard. It is too painful.
This was a man that sacrificed everything for AGN and got nothing. AGN is like a baby to him and he just suffered for this industry and look at the way he died? People have been dying but this one is different.
The well to do in the industry know that he has been ill yet, did nothing to help him, now that he is gone, they will start making donations. It is sad.” It was gathered that the late thespian from Delta State had featured in numerous flicks.

We have just been reliably informed that the Akwa Ibom State Government has approved the release of the sum of N403,108,900, (403Million plus) to facilitate the registration of candidates for the May/June2013 West African Senior Secondary Certificate examination , Waec.
The Commissioner for Information and Communication,Mr. Aniekan Umanah, who announced this, yesterday, 12th February 2013, in Uyo said that the approval was in furtherance of the Akpabio administration’s commitment to ensuring that all the Nigerian children in Akwa Ibom public schools were availedof the opportunity to access basic education from primary to senior secondary school, at no cost to their parents or guardians.
If we recurred, in the year 2008, the Akwa Ibom State governmentdeclared a free and compulsory education for all Nigerian children resident in Akwa Ibom State. So far, the administration has expended over N50 billion torevamp the education sector in the State, paid examination fees, provided textbooks and other learning materials for the students.
Umanah went further to say that the administration has engaged in massive rehabilitation and construction of educational infrastructure.
Kudos to the Akwa Ibom State Government

Celebrities › Facebook Ceo:mark Zuckerberg&wife Become America’s 2nd Biggest Charitable Donors by Codedrock(op): 1:19am On Feb 14, 2013
The Facebook founder and his pediatrician wife donated a total of $498.8million to charitable causes in 2012, putting them in line after billionaire Warren Buffett.
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/02/13/article-2277837-178AE289000005DC-656_306x423.jpg
Mr Buffet gave more than six-times more than his youngercounterparts, giving away$3.1billion to various causes, butit was the rapid ascent of the Zuckerbergs in the ranks of the country’s philanthropists that comes as more of a surprise .
Mr Zuckerberg, 28, made his first massive donation two years earlier when he announced that he was pledging $100million to the Newark school system in NewJersey.
Low key: The couple are notoriously private but Mr Zuckerberg has been public with his donations in the past
That donation was tainted with cynicism as it came around the same time as the film The SocialNetwork which portrayed him ina somewhat negative light.
The spending spree didn’t stop there, however, as The Chronicle of Philanthropy reported that he donated 18 million shares of Facebook stock to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation in 2012.
The shares are valued at about$498.8million and he directed it towards the local group.
Education and health programs are two of the many ways that the non-profit directs their funds.
‘ Together, we will look for areasin education and health to focus on next. I’m hopeful we’ll be able to have as positive an impact in our next set of projects,’ Mr Zuckerberg posted on his Facebook page at the time of his December donation.
Aside from the donation to the Newark education system and thelatest boost to the Silicon Valley fund, Mr Zuckerberg has used tools other than his deep pockets.
In May of last year, Mr Zuckerberg said announced thathe integrated a way for Facebook users to publicize their role as organ donors in an effort to connect those in need with people willing to help.
This was one of the clearest ways that his wife’s interests influencedhis charitable efforts.
