we all need to wake from our
Slumber instead of always claiming spirituality.

IS NIGERIA GOING THE WAY
OF TURKEY?
•Turkey is in the present day
Europe and
partly in Asia minor.
•Apostle Paul was a citizen of Turkey
because Tarsus exists in
Turkey.
•Christianity existed in Turkey
for about 1,023 years while Christianity has only existed in Nigeria for 172yrs
starting from when Rev. Birch Freeman
came to Badagry in 1842. •The seven churches Jesus
spoke to in Revelations 2&3(Ephesus,Smy
rna,Laodicea,Ph iladelphia,etc) existed in
the old Turkey.
•The disciples were first
called Christians in Turkey(Antioch)
•Turkey once had the largest
Christian auditorium in Europe called Hagia Sophia in Constantinople.
•Mary the mother of Jesus was
taken to Turkey by Apostle John and till
date, her room has become a tourist centre.

TURKEY TODAY
•Present day Turkey now has
96% muslims&0.02% Christians(less than
130,000).
•The Hagia Sophia(once largest church
in Europe) was taken over by muslims and converted to a mosque for over 400yrs and later used as an Islamic Museum

WHYCHRISTIANITY COLLAPSED IN TURKEY
•Emphasis on doctrinal differences weakened the Turkish church.
•Rivalries amongst denominations
•Petty politics in church coupled with ethnic biase
•The Turks were building big
cathedrals instead of building men.

HOW IT HAPPENED
•Osman Ghazi discovered the disunity
amongst Christians and used it
to fight a Jihad that led to a mass genocide of the Armenians, the Hellen and Turks
of that day. Infact, the weapon of war
used was designed by a Turkish Christian.
•Many Christian women converted to
Islam to save their lives and some were
raped.
•Osman Ghazi started the Ottoman
empire which gave muslims political
post and made it a religion of the
state.
IS NIGERIA HEADING THE WAY OF TURKEY
•Virtually all the mistakes the church in
Turkey made, the Nigerian church has made it.
•We are building Cathedrals at the expense of discipling men.
•Disunity amongst churches
•Ethnicity in the church
•Denominational rivalry, etc.
•Sharp division along doctrinal lines

MORE FACTS
•The spiritual foundation of Turkey is
stronger than that of Nigeria and
Christianity existed for over 1000yrs in
Turkey unlike ours which is just
172yrs but Islam Radicalism uprooted it.
If it can happen in Turkey, it can
also happen IF we are not careful.
•The menace of Boko Haram has
destroyed a lot of churches in
the north and it may take another 200yrs
to evangelise Borno state alone.
•There is a secret agenda to Islamize
Nigeria&other African nations as
contained in Abuja declaration of 1989.
DON'T SAY IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, IF
WE DON'T RIGHT OUR WRONGS AS A
CHURCH. SOLUTION
•HEART-FELT Intercession •Aggressive
evangelism- the terrorist reached out to the youths in the norths
first and gave them AK-47 and
bombs, if we had reached out to them on
time, they'll be carrying BIBLES today.
•Mission support:-God is holding
the church responsible for Boko Haram, yet we are blaming the
government .If we had supported missions and missionaries, we would have
those insurgents to Christ long ago.
•Unity of the church is key in winning
this battle. The last but not the least
christians should be actively involve in
politics. Enough of these muslims
political office holder with islamic agenda
ARISE CHURCH & LETS DO THE NEEDFUL

2cato: The person is no other person but SLS who have been globethroating shouting given the fed a bad name so as to cover up his misdeeds.

I concur with you

Now we are wating for the explanation ofthe CBN which I known would be covered up by those in authority.

WHEN the Australian negotiator, Dr
Stephen Davis, alleged that an unnamed
top official of the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) was among the sponsors of the Boko
Haram insurgency in Nigeria many people
took his words with a pinch of salt as he had
also named a former Chief of Army Staff,
retired Lt Gen Azubuike Ihejirika, and
former Governor Ali Modu Sheriff.
Nigeria’s Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole
Soyinka, has added his voice to this
allegation, affirming that his own
independent inquiries showed that the
same individual is indeed culpable. He went
on to say that the name of the person has
been made available to the highest
authority in the land.
The question on the lips of Nigerians is:
who is this person? What is so special about
him that he cannot even be named? Why
can’t he be brought out for the public to see
the person who has helped in sending
thousands of Nigerians to their early graves
while the nation is faced with the greatest
threat to her unity since the Nigerian civil
war nearly fifty years ago? Why has the CBN
remained mute about this issue, since its
name is being dragged to the mud? Why
hasn’t the CBN seen it fit to tell Nigerians
what it knows about this matter?
Happily, the Socio-Economic Rights and
Accountability Project (SERAP), a social
crusader organisation, has taken up the
gauntlet and given the CBN a fourteen-day
ultimatum, based on the Freedom of
Information (FOI) Act. SERAP demands
information about the persons involved in
the money laundering and sponsorship of
Boko Haram sect. A statement from the
group said the CBN Governor, Mr Godwin
Emefiele, is required to explain the exact
nature of any such transactions.
We commend SERAP for wading into this
matter clinging to the force of the FOIA. We
are waiting patiently to see how the CBN
under a new manager, Emefiele, will
respond to this challenge. It will be a major
metric for measuring the seriousness he
attaches to his work and the need to keep
the Bank clean of scandals.
We are greatly worried that the Presidency
and the security agencies have chosen to
keep the Nigerian public in the dark about
the truth or otherwise of this individual’s
involvement.
Although the very thought that an
individual in the top echelon of Nigeria’s
ultimate Bank and regulator of the financial
system will become a bankroller of our
enemy, yet it is only such a high level
conspiracy that can make Boko Haram to
grow into the monster it has become.
When this fellow is identified, tried and
convicted, we will expect him to face the
full wrath of the law.

I dnt known what tfpe of president we have in thes country

ABUJA—President Goodluck Jonathan
promised yesterday that by next month, the
security challenge posed by members of the
Boko Haram sect who have engaged in
massive killing and wanton destruction of
property would change drastically. This is
just as the troops have killed 60 of the
insurgents.
Speaking yesterday at the 66th National
Executive Committee, NEC of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, President Jonathan
who admitted that the nation’s greatest
challenge was that of insecurity, stressed
that what obtains presently in Nigeria has
gone beyond terror, but plans to secede
where members of Boko Haram want to
install their own leadership.
Commiserating with victims of killings in
Kaduna and Kano states, the President
disclosed that he would be attending the
United Nations General Assembly summit
on Global Terrorism which all the super
powers would attend.
He said: “Nigeria is having an unfair share.
Terror is a global problem, and Nigeria
situation is going beyond terror. When
terrorists think about holding ground,
attempting to install leadership, it is no
longer terrorism, it is almost like going into
the line of succession. Between now and
October, things will change.
He appreciated the Senate and the entire
National Assembly for their statement and
joining the government in this regard,
promising to bring it to an end.
Meanwhile, following the regrouping of
Boko Haram terrorists and a second attack
on Konduga town by the insurgents on
Wednesday night, the Nigerian Army said
another 60 insurgents were killed in the
battle that ensued.
After the confrontation which lasted from
4pm to 8pm, several military hardware
recovered from the insurgents included 13
AK-47 rifles, five RPGs, two General Purpose
Machine Guns (GPMGs) and one anti-
aircraft gun.
Two Ford Ranger pick-up vehicles that could
be used to mount anti-aircraft attack
ordnance were also recovered.

nairalife2013: D teacher is mo silly, askin such a question in saudi arabia!

Is it the teacher or the principal that is daft

A new CRK teacher, transferred to a JSS 2
class during the mid term, wanted to know
how well the students understood the
syllabus so far. He decided to start from the
last topic the previous teacher had taught,
"Hello class, who broke down the walls of
Jericho?" There was a full minute of
absolute silence. All the students just stared
at him blankly. The teacher then pointed at
the students in the front desk to answer the
question. The students began responding.
Amos: "Sir I'm a new student here, I just
started this school last week." John: "Sir the
day the walls was broken, I didn't come to
school, I swear" MARY: "Sir I only passed by
the walls of Jericho, I didn't even touch it,
as it was already broken when I passed it."
Rufus: "Sir, I didn't even know the walls had
been broken, until you mentioned it now."
The teacher became so shocked and
infuriated, "What!!!" He screamed. The
Students began murmuring amongst
themselves that the new teacher is so
mean. The teacher, shocked by their
ignorance, stormed to the principals office
to tell him what happened. The principal
kindly responded, "Sorry about that. You
know how mischievous these JSS students
can be? Always destroying things and later
denying it. But be rest assured, this matter
would be fully investigated. Just write down
the total cost in fixing the said wall, and at
the next PTA meeting the issue would be
discussed" Who is more stupid, the
students or the principal?

FarmTech: With snails, you start with mature ones. I've started one very small one, but not with the large one though. I just want to measure their growth rate with a particular feed.

Which feed are you talking about pls tell us.

This is a secret every businessman should known to be successful

Is that really necessary

Nigerians have been assured by the
Director-General of National Agency for
Food and Drug Administration and Control
(NAFDAC), Dr. Paul Orhii that some drugs
and vaccines are likely to be discovered
soon to contain the dreaded Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD).
A statement handed to newsmen in Abuja
by the Director of Special Duties in the
agency, Dr. Abubakar Jimoh quotes Dr.
Orhii as saying: “We have some Nigerian
remedies that we are looking at very
closely and after investigation we hope
that they will be able to contain the Ebola
virus, so Nigerians do not need to panic.”
He clarified that the deadly virus is not a
death sentence in Nigeria as the Federal
Government, through the efforts of the
Federal Ministry of Health has managed
the situation effectively and halted the
rampaging spread of the disease.
Dr. Orhii who recently returned from an
emergency meeting of health Authorities
of member-nations in Geneva convened
by the World Health Organization (WHO)
to stepped up the global efforts for the
discovery of vaccines for the cure of the
deadly Ebola, asserted that there would
soon be a lasting solution to the deadly
virus as some vaccines are clinically being
evaluated with very high prospect of
combating the disease.
He said Nigerians were full of
commendation and appreciation to
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and
the Minister of Health, Professor
Onyebuchi Chukwu for effectively
containing the Ebola virus through
prompt deployment of adequate funds,
material resources and personnel to
strategic locations.
The NAFDAC boss informed that many
countries are now learning from the
methods and strategies adopted by
Nigeria in combating the Ebola menace.
He enjoined Nigerians in the diaspora to
feel free to visit home as the threat of the
deadly disease has been effectively
contained by the government.
Dr. Orhii, however, requested vigilance
from Nigerians as some unscrupulous
elements have started taking advantage of
the Ebola virus scare to market counterfeit
test kits and sanitary products.

Afrocatalyst: Good news. Can we pls have election every two years in this country?
That's the only thing that keeps our govt focused.

Going to the national assembly as fast as possible with this your report

samflexxy: We need prayers o shekau have been escaping death since 1000BC am sorry to say but can't dey just drop a nuclear bomb in sambisa forest so as to kill and stop this menace of this bokoharam that is if they are sure shekau is there

Are u for real nuclear bomb for that matter,by the way where do we get the bomb in the first place

Then whom do we believe now because am confuse

Australian negotiator Stephen Davis,
who has recently provided a series of
scandalous allegations regarding the
Nigerian sponsors of Boko Haram, gives
another interview on the issue narrating
how Shekau hijacked the Islamist group
and revealing he had not been actually
hired by the Federal Government.
In a recent month Davis, allegedly hired by
the Nigerian federal government to
negotiate fro Chibok girls release. has
made a number of breaking claims.
He insisted that Chief of the Army Staff, Lt.
General Azubuike Ihejirika and the former
governor of Borno State Senator Ali Modu
Sheriff were among the major sect
sponsors , which information he was given
by Boko Haram commanders themselves.
Moreover, the Australian disclosed the
scheme according to which the insurgents
were passing a substantial amount of their
funds through the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) with the help of its top official.

This weekend Stephen Davis gave interview
to Vanguard making clear some
information about being “hired” by the
Nigerian authorities and speaking about
the sect leader Abubakar Shekau.
“The Boko Haram we see today is not the
Jama’atu Ahlul Sunnah Lih Da’awa wal
Jihad (JAS) that was operational under
Yusuf – former JAS leader killed by the
police in 2009… Shekau formed Ansaru
which he used for kidnapping and
beheading victims. This behaviour was a
major departure from the original
mandate of the JAS which was to purify
Islam and return it to the exemplary life of
the Prophet. Many among the JAS
leadership are no longer active and others
have been killed.”
According to Davis, it allowed the terrorist
to take up more extreme action, including
abduction, bombing and mass killing.

“What we see now is not the Yusufiya
which wanted very much to settle a score
with former Governor Ali Modu Sheriff. It
is Boko Haram as a partner to ISIS and Al
Shabaab.”
“I was not hired by the Federal
Government”
The Australian did not deny the fact that
he had not been hired by the Nigerian,
authorities, which the latter had claimed in
the official statement .
Davis admitted that he came to Nigeria in
April to facilitate the release of the Chibok
girls abducted by Boko Haram, but denied
that he was engaged by any party.
“I was not engaged by the Federal
Government of Nigeria, any state
government or any other party. I went to
Nigeria in late April in an effort to facilitate
a handover of the Chibok captives after
discussing such a possibility with former
commanders of JAS (Jama’atu Ahlul
Sunnah Lih Da’awa wal Jihad otherwise
known as JAS) and others close to Boko
Haram.”
Speaking again about motives of the
insurgency sponsors, Davis warned the
politicians involved that they would not be
able to stop the militants like they might
think:
“Therein the sponsors assume they can
undermine any efforts of the current
government to be re-elected in 2015…
Should the sponsors of Boko Haram win
government in 2015, they will likely find
that they cannot turn Boko Haram off or
that Boko Haram will demand control of at
least Borno State in return for reducing
their attacks. Borno State may be just the
beginning of an expanding caliphate.”
Davis didn’t speak with real Boko
Haram leaders – Nigerian negotiator
In another development of the allegations
saga, there appeared a Nigerian negotiator,
who pleaded anonymity, saying that Sheriff
and Ihejirika could not have been Boko
Haram sponsors as the two men were
actually sworn enemies of the Islamist
group.
The source, who was said to have been
aiding the government to put an end to
insurgency in the country, even told
Vanguard that Sheriff was one of the three
most wanted enemies of the sect.
“I can tell you that the group has not
forgiven Sheriff over the killing of its
leader, Mohammed Yusuf, who was
arrested and killed during his tenure as
governor.”
The source narrated that Davis had come
to Nigeria on his own to secure the release
of Chibok girls abducted on April 14.
However he said that the Australian never
met the real commanders of Boko
Haram but depended on information
from a member of the Presidential
Committee on Dialogue and Amnesty
for information on the activities of the
sect .
“We can say with all amount of seriousness
that Davis did not meet the leadership and
main commanders of Boko Haram during
his visit to the North-east. If Davis insists
that he met with any senior commander or
leader of the sect, we challenge him to
mention their names and ranks.”
Meanwhile the ex Borno governor
threatens Davis with the legal proceedings
over the allegations. Reacting to the
threats, the Australian dares Sheriff to sue
him saying that in that case Sheriff would
not be able to escape from the truth.
At the same time the Nigerian Department
of State Security (DSS) is believed to have
started investigation over the allegations
provided by Davis however it was
mentioned that there were no plans to
prosecute “any Nigerian” based solely on
the claims of the Australian expert.

May his soul rest in perfect peace .

The death of the celebrated journalist and
Vice-Chairman of Sun Newspapers Limited,
Mr. Dimgba Igwe, in the early hours of
yesterday threw the media industry into
mourning. He was 58 years old.
According to earlier reports of his demise,
which went viral on the social media by
noon, and which was later confirmed by a
statement signed by the Managing Director/
Editor-in-Chief of Sun Newspapers Mr. Femi
Adesina, the deceased died by 10 a.m. as a
result of injuries suffered in an accident
caused by a hit-and-run driver as he jogged
in his Okota, Lagos neighbourhood.
The statement reads: “Mr. Igwe passed on
today (Saturday) around 10am at the Lagos
State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH)
of injuries suffered from a hit-and-run
driver, as he jogged in his Okota, Lagos,
neighbourhood.”
It explained that “First aid was administered
to him at St Raphael Hospital, Ago Palace
Way, before he was moved to LASUTH for
surgical emergency. He did not survive.”
The statement quoted Chairman and
Publisher of the Sun Newspapers, Dr. Orji
Uzor Kalu, as describing the development as
“tragic, shocking, and a dark day in the
annals of journalism in Nigeria.
“Dimgba Igwe was too much of a
gentleman, fine brain and mind to die
tragically like this,” he added.
Meanwhile, reactions have continued to
pour in over his tragic death, which
President Goodluck Jonathan described as
very painful and tragic.
A statement by the president’s spokesman,
Dr. Reuben Abati said the deceased would
always be remembered as a hardworking
and dependable professional, who through
his various writings as columnist, author
and public speaker, demonstrated a special
ability to convey the truth and his
convictions in lucid, compelling prose, and
in a style that was shorn of cant and
foppery.
“As they mourn him, the president enjoins
Mr. Igwe’s family, friends and associates to
be consoled by the knowledge that he put
his God-given abilities to the best possible
use in a very purposeful life that was wholly
devoted to the defence of truth and the
public interest, as well as the promotion of
the highest standards of his chosen
profession of journalism,” the statement
said.
On his part, the Lagos State Governor, Mr.
Babatunde Fashola, in a condolence
message to the widow of the late journalist,
said the death is a sad loss to the
journalism profession in particular and the
literary world in general.
A statement by the Special Assistant to the
Governor on Media, Hakeem Bello, quoted
the governor as describing the late Igwe as
a trail blazer, who along with his age-long
friend and partner Mike Awoyinfa,
pioneered a refreshing brand of
newspapering with the Weekend Concord,
the Governor recalled the vibrancy which
late Dimgba Igwe brought into journalism
with his inimitable writing style and
comments on contemporary issues as well
as the stimulating biographies which he has
authored.
In his reaction, the Ondo State Governor, Dr
Olusegun Mimiko described Igwe’s death as
shocking, tragic and a colossal loss to the
pen profession, the literary world and the
Nigerian nation.
Mimiko, in a statement issued by the Ondo
State Commissioner for Information,
Kayode Akinmade, said the columnist of
repute bestrode the journalism profession
as a colossus winning many professional
awards and distinguishing himself as a
worthy practitioner of the Fourth Estate.
According to him, the late journalist took
his job as his passion and his passion as his
job.
The Nigerian National Committee of the
International Press Institute (IPI), in a
statement signed by its chairman, Kabiru
Yusuf, said the deceased will be long
remembered and celebrated as a well-
rounded journalist who distinguished
himself as a reporter, writer, columnist,
editor, media manager, author and
publisher.
In his condolence message, Gov Liyel Imoke
of Cross River State, according to a press
statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr.
Christian Ita, said he received the news of
Igwe’s death with shock, pain and deep
grief, saying it is saddening and regrettable
that he died in such a gruesome manner
while jogging.
Recalling the late journalist’s incisive
commentaries in his popular and well-read
column, “Side View,” Governor Imoke noted:
“He was a seasoned and consummate
journalist who used his column, ‘Side View’,
not only to inform but to deplore the socio-
political ills in the society.”
On his part, the Speaker, Lagos State House
of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji
described the late journalist as one of the
very best of media professionals to ever
come out of Africa.
In a statement signed on his behalf by his
Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Rotimi Adebayo,
Ikuforiji declared: “The sudden death of one
of Africa’s best professional media
practitioners, in the person of
internationally acclaimed Dimgba Igwe, is a
national tragedy. All Nigerians had wished,
never happened.” He therefore urged the
relevant security agency to “Do everything
possible to bring the killer of the late
Dimgba Igwe to justice without delay.
However, Adesina, who is also President of
Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), Adesina
said, “It is very sad; it is a colossal loss to
journalism; he was a very dedicated
journalist; a General of the Guild and an
impeccable writer. At our last conference in
Kastina, he contributed a lot and was one of
the discussants in a paper.
Speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN), Adesina said “To hear that he is dead
one week after is indeed devastating;
Nigerians in general and journalists in
particular will miss him.

I love this! Sounds like the genesis of world war III

Hmm me I dnt known ohh

Do farts carry germs? It’s probably
something you’ve never thought about, but
now that you’ve heard the question, we bet
you’re sort of curious. But be warned, this
isn’t going to be pretty.
“It all started with an enquiry from a nurse,”
said Dr Karl Kruszelnicki during his science
show on the Triple J radio station in
Brisbane, Australia. “She wanted to know
whether she was contaminating the
operating theatre she worked in by quietly
farting in the sterile environment during
operations, and I realised that I didn’t know.
But I was determined to find out.”
According to the Seriously, Science blog
at Discover Magazine, Kruszelnicki
investigated the question by getting in
contact with Canberra-based microbiologist,
Luke Tennent, who helped him design and
carry out an experiment. The aim was to
discover whether or not the wind emitted
from a human was filled with germs or just
simply smelt bad.
Kruszelnicki explained what happened
next:
“[Tennent] asked a colleague to break wind
directly onto two Petri dishes from a
distance of 5 centimetres, first fully clothed,
then with his trousers down. Then he
observed what happened. Overnight, the
second Petri dish sprouted visible lumps of
two types of bacteria that are usually found
only in the gut and on the skin. But the
flatus [gas] which had passed through
clothing caused no bacteria to sprout, which
suggests that clothing acts as a filter.”
Kruszelnicki and Tennent noticed two types
of bacteria in the second Petri dish - in the
centre were the bacteria caused by the
subject’s fart gas, they said, and a ring of
different bacteria around the edge of the
Petri dish "was caused by the sheer velocity
of the fart, which blew skin bacteria from
the cheeks and blasted it onto the dish”,
reports Seriously, Science.
The good news? The bacteria that grew was
not in any way harmful. The other good
news? Scientific evidence for why you
should never, ever get naked and fart near
your food. You're welcome.

reedonne: We dont need it.
