Politics / APC Hasn’t Managed Victory Well – OKOROCHA by DAVECENA(m): 4:38am On Nov 03, 2016 |
ABUJA—CHAIRMAN of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors’ Forum and Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, yesterday, said the party has not managed properly, its victory as there were hunger and serious hardship in the country. Governor Okorocha, who was at the National Assembly to mediate peace between the President Muhammadu Buhari-led executive and the legislature, which have been having frosty relationship, stated that there was anger among members of the ruling party, the APC. He said that in the next few weeks, President Buhari will be bringing the members of the party together to ensure amicable resolution of the problem threatening to tear the party apart and promised that the party will soon be rebranded. This came as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara said that the party will not afford to fail the people that voted them into power, even as he said the legislators are loyal party members. Okorocha said: “As you can see, this is my very first time coming to the office of the Speaker. I have come here to look at issues as it affects our nation, our party in particular. I have been to the national office of our party and I have had meeting with the national working committee. “I have also visited the Senate, where we also had deliberations and I am here with the leadership of the House where we have also deliberated on a lot of issues on how to move our nation forward and how to move our party forward. “Today we are proud to say APC is not an opposition party, it is the ruling party of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “This victory of ours is very dear to us, but we are concerned that our victory so far has not been properly managed due to anger, bitterness among the members of our party at different levels and at different cadres. “This calls for concern and that is why we are trying to bridge the gap to close ranks on how to unite, provide governance, leadership to our people, Nigerians and also move our party forward. “It is true that our nation is going through difficult times, but with unity of purpose, we shall overcome. There have been so many complaints and distrusts, confusion and we have resolved as a people, as governors, as senators as federal House members, as national working committee members to come together and resolve these issues once and for all. “The president will be talking to the party and the leadership very soon on this matter. Nigerians expect so much from us and at the end of it all,nigerians will not ask us how far have you dealt with each other, but they will ask us how much food have we put on the table of the common man…?” source: www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/apc-hasnt-managed-victory-well-okorocha/

Religion / Halloween And Africa’s Mad Rush To Conform – Reno by DAVECENA(m): 5:28am On Nov 02, 2016 |
Romans 12:2 says “do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed”. When, as a Christ follower, you celebrate Halloween, what do you think you are doing? You are conforming! Growing up as a child in Africa in the 80s we knew nothing about Halloween, but today Africans want to celebrate Halloween and wear our costumes in our mad rush to conform to anything from America and Europe without caring about its origins. Halloween is harmless you might say. Really? A day to wear scary costumes designed for the purpose of eliciting fear is harmless? Hebrews 11:6 says “without faith it is impossible to please God”. The opposite is true-without fear it is impossible to please satan! Why do you think the first thing angels tell humans when they manifest in their presence is ‘fear not’? You can read it all over Scripture in Luke 2:10, Isaiah 41:10 and Luke 1:30. Fear is a satanic tool and without fear satan is powerless to harm you. That is the reason why he has promoted this profane celebration called Halloween all over the world. 1 John 4:18 says: “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” In fact, Halloween, just like Christmas, is a successful attempt to Christianize a previously pagan festival known as Samhain. The reasoning behind this passing off of Samhain as Halloween is that as Europe surrendered to Christendom (a completely different phenomenon not to be mistaken for Christianity or Christ follower-ship), it became necessary in the eyes of the various kingdoms of Europe that merged with the Holy Roman Catholic Church to Christianize their pagan holidays and bring about a Catholic (the word just means universal) or acceptable holiday. Thus Samhain became known as Halloween, the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice known as Yule (hence the term Yuletide) became Christmas and the celebration of the goddess named Ēostre, became Easter. In truth, whether called by their original pagan names or their new Christendom names, none of these festivals appear in the Bible (the King James Version translates Passover as Easter in Acts 12:4, but all other translations reject that and left it how the original Greek Scriptures described it-Passover). Modern day Halloween originated from America and now every Tom, Dick and Harry is into it. Thanksgiving also originated from America. Why aren’t people all over the world participating in Thanksgiving? Sure, they can say ‘Happy Thanksgiving’ but unlike Halloween, do they go out of their way to perform the rituals of Thanksgiving that require preparing a solemn meal to eat with family as friends and list out all that you are thankful to God about? Of cause not! So why the disparity? The disparity lies in this verse from 1 John 5:19: “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.” And to those who would say Thanksgiving is not in the Bible, I would urge them to read and reread Ephesians 5:20 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” My message to Africans is that not everything the West does should be blindly copied hook, line and sinker. Never make the mistake of thinking that Christianity has more of a Western or European origin than it does an African one. Before there were Christians in Europe, there were Christians in Africa. The first non Israelite Christian was not Cornelius the centurion. The first non Israelite Christian was the Ethiopian Eunuch of Acts chapter 8. That man took Christianity back to Ethiopia and their kings and citizens became Christian such that by 613 AD when M uslims fled from the persecution of the ruling Quraysh tribe of Mecca, they went to Ethiopia in Africa and were giving asylum by the Christian King Negus of Ethiopia who cited their belief in Isa (Jesus) as the reason he gave them asylum (Though they believe that Nabi Isa is a Prophet of God not His Son). So know for certain that Christianity and even Judaism have strong African roots. Not only is Cush (old name for Black Africa) the First Nation mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 2:13) but Moses was married to a Black African woman (Numbers 12:1) whose Father taught Moses much of what he knew (Exodus 18:17-24). So as Africans, you have a strong and deep history and culture. You do not need Halloween. You have enough within your culture that you can celebrate without alienating yourself from God. There is nothing polished or classy about celebrating Halloween. If we as Africans like to celebrate then we have New Yam Festivals, Durbars, Harvests and coronations we can celebrate. I remember as a child, on moon light evenings I would sit with my siblings, cousins and neighbors and an adult would share stories about tortoise and other African tales with us. We no longer do this because we are now ‘polished.’ So, instead of teaching our kids such innocent fun, we teach them to serve satan in the name of Halloween because that is what they do in America!

Crime / Man, 40, Impregnates 15-yr-old Step-daughter In Ogun by DAVECENA(m): 5:19am On Nov 02, 2016 |
ABEOKUTA—A 40- year-old man, Victor Emafolomi, has been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command for impregnating his 15-year-old step daughter. The suspect, who lives on Olokosusi Street, Java Agbado in Ifo Local Government Area of the state, was said to have been arrested following a complaint from his wife, who is the mother of the said girl. The Police Public Relations Officer in the state Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement, said: “The mother, Taiwo Emafolomi, who noticed that her daughter is pregnant, pressurised the girl and she eventually opened up to her mother about how her step-father had been making love, which resulted in the pregnancy. “The DPO, Agbado Division, CSP Abioye Shittu, detailed detectives to get the man arrested after a pregnancy test had been conducted on the girl, which came out positive. “The Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered that the case be transferred to Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the Criminal Investigation and Intelligent Department, CIID, for further investigation.” source: www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/man-40-impregnates-15-yr-old-step-daughter-ogun/ |

Politics / No Hike In Fuel Pump Price— Kachikwu by DAVECENA(m): 5:12am On Nov 02, 2016 |
ABUJA—The Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, has dismissed insinuations of any increment in the pump prices of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, popularly called petrol. The dismissal came on the heels of widespread panic in Abuja yesterday that major petrol stations, including the retail outlets of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, NNPC, had jerked up their pump prices from the official N145 to N149 per litre. Kachikwu, who was approached by our reporter at the end of a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and the leaders of Niger Delta at the presidential Villa, Abuja, said government had not announced any change in pump prices. “Have you heard me announce any increment? Wait until you hear from my mouth,” he said. source: www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/no-hike-fuel-pump-price-kachikwu/

Jobs/Vacancies / Senate Lifts Suspension On Police Recruitment by DAVECENA(m): 6:15am On Nov 01, 2016 |
The recruitment of 10,000 personnel into the Nigeria Police will now continue as the Senate has lifted its suspension on the exercise. The new condition is that the new policemen will be employed based on their local government areas and would be deployed in their communities. The recruitment was suspended following a clash between the Senate and the Police Service Commission. The Senate had, in a letter four weeks ago, asked the PSC to suspend the recruitment over alleged irregularities in the criteria adopted. The lawmakers had asked that the recruitment be done on local government but the PSC insisted that it should be done on state basis. The Chairman, Senate Committee on Police Affairs, Senator Abu Ibrahim (APC, Katsina-South), however, told journalists in Abuja on Monday that the commission could now continue with the recruitment. Ibrahim announced that the clash between the Senate and the PSC had been resolved. “We have resolved the issue and the recruitment would be done on local government basis. Very soon, the exercise will resume,” he said. The lawmaker stated that the new intakes would form the foundation for the commencement of community policing in the country. He said, “Nine personnel would be recruited per local government area. The policemen would be used to form a unit for community policing in all the 774 local government areas of the country.” source: http://punchng.com/senate-lifts-suspension-police-recruitment/ 1 Like 1 Share |

Politics / I’ll Beat Ibrahim, Jegede Combined, Akeredolu Boasts by DAVECENA(m): 6:05am On Nov 01, 2016 |
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, Chief Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), on Monday boasted that if the two factional candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Jimoh Ibrahim and Eyitayo Jegede, combined forces and contested against him, he would emerge victorious at the poll. Akeredolu said this in an interview with State House correspondents shortly after the Chairman of the APC Governorship Campaign in the state, Mr. Solomon Lalong, led him to a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. When told that he must be happy contesting against Jimoh than facing Jegede who had the backing of the state Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, the APC candidate said he was not scared of any of them. He said he would be happier if Jimoh and Jegede could hold a joint ticket and confront him. “I can assure you that I would have been happier facing both of them together. If Eyitayo Jegede was chosen as the candidate and Ibrahim as his deputy, I will still win. “In fact, Jegede happens to be a friend and Ibrahim too. Jimoh Ibrahim went to Ife, so we have known ourselves for long. I have no fear about both of them. We know that we are going to win this election and I have no doubt about it,” Akeredolu boasted. When asked if he had settled his rift with a national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the candidate said there was no rift. He claimed Tinubu had accepted the result of the primary that produced him as the candidate. Akeredolu said, “I don’t have any rift with him (Tinubu). Since the primary, you would see that as the leader of the party, he has not said anything about it. “He has accepted the primary and we are moving on. So, I don’t have any rift with him at all and we are moving on.” On the protest being embarked upon by the PDP members over Jimoh’s recognition as the party’s candidate, Akeredolu said the position of the APC was that security agencies should not allow miscreants to take over. He insisted that the PDP’s internal problem should not lead to demonstration outside, saying protesters were paid to do so. Lalong, who is the Plateau State Governor, on his part urged Mimiko to stop bothering Buhari about the PDP problem. He said, “Let me say it was even wrong for them to start running to Mr. President to help them solve the problem of the PDP in their party. “Mr. President is the President of Nigeria and he is not a member of the PDP, even when we have problems in the APC we don’t run to Mr. President.” source: punchng.com/ill-beat-jegede-eyitayo-combined-akeredolu-boasts/ |
