PoliticsPDP Governors’ Visit To Obasanjo Unnecessary – Fayose by ElRey01(op): 2:26pm On Dec 05, 2014
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the visit of five Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors to former President Olusegun Obasanjo as unwarranted, unnecessary and uncalled for.
The governor said PDP as a party must stop condoning indiscipline, saying; “nobody should be treated as being bigger than the party.”
He said further that Obasanjo, who does not appreciate others deserves no respect, adding that “no amount of mudslinging from him will stop President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election.”
The governor said visiting Obasanjo to plead with him to rescind his decision not to participate in the party’s activities was capable of encouraging other members of the party to openly disrespect the office of President and Commander-in-chief of the Armed forces of Nigeria as being done by Obasanjo.
Governor Fayose, who called for the immediate suspension of the former president from the PDP, said; “A man who has refused to respect the office of the President of Nigeria that he once occupied does not also deserve respect from anyone.”
He urged the party to set a panel to probe Obasanjo’s anti-party activities.
The governor, who described Obasanjo as one of the major problems of Nigeria, added that the former president’s open castigation of President Goodluck Jonathan was unbecoming of someone who led the country for 11 years and wasted billions of Naira in his attempt to perpetuate himself in office beyond the constitutionally recognized two-terms.
He said: “Have you ever heard a former president of the United States of America, USA openly abusing a sitting president of the country?
“Does it mean that former US president, Bill Clinton agreed with all the policies of George W. Bush and the incumbent president, Barack Obama?
“Obasanjo is behaving un-presidential and he must be told to respect himself.”
Speaking further, Fayose said Obasanjo was already a member of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and that he was pushing for one of his loyalists to be the party’s Vice presidential candidate.
He said; “Obasanjo is a man who can never be pleased. His principle of life is; if it is not his way, it must not be another person’s way.
“Even if President Jonathan gives Obasanjo his blood today, he (Obasanjo) cannot change because he is already neck deep in the APC agenda, with his eyes on the vice presidential ticket of the party.
“Therefore, no amount of visits by PDP governors can make him change his mind about President Jonathan, whom he hates not because he has not performed, but because he (Jonathan) did not hand over his presidency to him.

PoliticsNigeria Tops List In Global Fund Allocations With $1.1 Billion by ElRey01(op): 9:57am On Dec 04, 2014
The Centre for Constitutional Governance (CCG) has called on all Nigerians to demand for greater transparency and accountability in the utilization of Global Fund (GF) Allocations to Nigeria for 2014-2017.
In a press statement released by Juliana Iregbu-Ihejirika, the Programme Officer (PO), it was disclosed that Nigeria with an allocation of $1.1billion tops the list of a group of 15 countries who will receive over half of the total allocation of $14.67 billion by the Global Fund.
According to an analysis done by AIDSPAN, an independent observer of the Global Fund, the GF allocation for HIV in Nigeria is pegged at $477 million, while malaria gets $500 million.
“The optimistic determination of the Global Fund donors to fight HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB to a halt with such a laudable commitment should also translate to a heightened resolve of those in charge of utilizing the funds in Nigeria to do what is right and a steadfast zeal of civil society and key populations to police these monies”, she said.
The PO also made reference to the recent World Health Organizations’ (WHO) statistics on Nigeria’s Health Status which she described as a cause for concern, with the average life expectancy at 52 years for men and 54 years for women, which she said was way below the global average of 73 for women and 68 for men, and especially worrying for a country like Nigeria, categorized as middle-income.
“It is also alarming that maternal mortality rate is 608 out of every 100,000 live births which is twice as high as South Africa’s 300 per 100,000 and almost ten times Egypt’s 66 per 100,000″ she said.
According to her, “only about 3 per cent of HIV positive mothers in Nigeria are said to have access to antiretroviral treatments, a large number of inmates in congested prisons across Nigeria are living with HIV and AIDS and most often without treatments. The rate of TB infections is also tilting towards an epidemic level.”
In addition, she described malaria as a major public health problem in Nigeria where it accounts for more cases and deaths than in any other country in the world.
Quoting a malaria factsheet by the Nigerian government, she stated that “malaria is a risk for 97 per cent of Nigeria’s population with the remaining 3% of the population living in the malaria free highlands.”
The report also specifies that there are an estimated 100 million malaria cases in Nigeria annually with over 300,000 deaths per year. This, she said, compares with 215,000 deaths per year in Nigeria from HIV/AIDS.
According to her, “malaria contributes to an estimated 11 per cent of maternal mortality. Malaria accounts for 60 per cent of outpatient visits and 30 per cent of hospitalizations among children under five years of age in Nigeria.”
In conclusion, she called on all stakeholders to play their roles effectively in ensuring that there is effectiveness and efficiency in the utilization of the current global fund allocation to Nigeria “to enable us turn the current state of the Nigerian health sector around.”

Lol.. Christians and their misconception to everything,who told you that satan is the one assigning demons to torment human and bring them to hell

Listen,the number one reason demon possess a body is for shelter,any demon that lives outside a human body is like a man without home,those demon make their choice of whom they attach to,lucifer didn't assign any demon to anyone

You said if the demon failed to bring the person to hell then he'll be tormented? So that means if he succeeded he won't be tormented?

My dear it may interest you to know that these demons don't even know how their end will be,they don't even know how the hell will look like,they are as clueless as human waiting for their last day
If a demon fails on his mission, he is tormented by Satan for now.

Satan and the demons know that their end is in the lake of fire, and they know that their time here is short, that is why they are working so hard to win many souls that will burn with them in the lake of fire. Their sole mission is to possess as many people as they can by means of sin. Demons are not possessing men because they seek for a place of rest alone, no, they possess men because they hate God, and remember God made man in his image. And being that they cannot harm God, they therefore seek to possess man who is the Image of God so they can use man to fulfil Satan's agenda which works against the will of God. Satan and the demons know what God has prepared for his children and they are jealous about it and do not want man to inherit it.

Right now as we speak demons are tormenting the souls of many they've won in hell while awaiting for the last judgement where they will all with the lost souls be cast into the lake of fire.




My brother I am not writing as an inexperience person in the things of the spirit but as one who have had a great experiance with these demons and their modus operandi and was delivered by the power of Jesus.

you are wrong,if demon don't love their host they'll flee,its love they have for the host's body is what actually keep them around

Queen yachikka once told me that if anyone else is like me she would switch to that person since I no longer want her
Demons don't love. The bible says that Satan came to steal, to kill and to destroy. Satan and his demons are only after your soul. If a demon is assigned to a man, that demon's mission is to frustrate that man's life here on earth till it kills him and take his soul to hell. and when in hell, the same demon that possessed and tormented that man while alive will be the same demon that will torment him in hell. If a demon fails on his mission in bringing any soul assigned to him to hell, that demon ends up being tormented by Satan. That is why it is very deficult for a demon to release a man after taking possession of the person, except through deliverance in Jesus name from a spirit filled servant of Jesus.

Demons are out to frustrate man's life so he can doubt God and his ability to fufil all He has promised in the Bible. When a man starts doubting God's sufficiency and not living by faith such a person is separated from the presence of God. And that is one of satans' aim '' To separate man from God's presence'' so he can deal with him.

PoliticsStop Destroying PDP From Within, Join APC – Afenifere Youths Tell Obasanjo by ElRey01(op): 12:33pm On Dec 02, 2014
The Afenifere Renaissance Youth Congress (ARYG) has asked former President Olusegun Obasanjo to formally declare for the All Progressives Congress (APC), instead of working to damage the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from within.

The group, comprising many members of the PDP in the South-West zone, also said Obasanjo’s attacks on President Jonathan, was unfortunate.

While noting that as a former president, he had unfettered access to the Presidential Villa, the group described his action as unstatesmanlike.

Lamenting the recent attack by Obasanjo on President Jonathan, the group leader, Mr. Abimbola Owolabi, said it was difficult to believe that Obasanjo was still a member of the PDP.

The group wondered why Obasanjo could not respect the provisions of the constitution of the party, especially the section that frowned at bringing the name of the party to disrepute.

Continuing it said, “Obasanjo is not only denigrating the presidency, the person of Jonathan and the ruling party, which he claims to be a member by his constant lies, unwarranted attacks and mischievous blackmail to portray President Jonathan as weak, corrupt and dictatorial, but also manifestly executing the propaganda of the APC.”

PoliticsRevealed: Why Obasanjo Is Fighting Jonathan by ElRey01(op): 3:16am On Dec 01, 2014
IT emerged at the weekend that recent outbursts by former President Olusegun Obasanjo against President Goodluck Jonathan stemmed from the latter’s refusal to implement a proposal from the former president in respect of the 2015 elections.
Sources in Abuja told Sunday Tribune that the former president had sent emissaries and also whispered to Jonathan that he would back his 2015 ambition if he (Jonathan) agreed to drop Vice-President Namadi Sambo as his running mate.
It was gathered that the former president had spoken in favour of Jonathan fielding Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, as his running mate.
A source confirmed that some common friends of the former president and Jonathan who attempted to talk Obasanjo into dropping his opposition against the president were told that he (Jonathan) had to agree to drop Sambo as his running mate.
It was also confirmed that the former president had confirmed the proposal at a recent encounter between him and Jonathan.
A source said the president was told that he would be on the same page with Obasanjo, if he agreed to pick Lamido as his running mate in 2015 and dropped Sambo.
Sources spoken to by Sunday Tribune also confirmed the development, saying that Jonathan was, however, non-committal.
“The president could not give Obasanjo any affirmative answer, because he believes that the request was uncalled for,” a source said.
Sources also told Sunday Tribune that Jonathan believed that dropping Sambo would open a new fiat of trouble for his camp.
“You don’t try and solve a problem and create another in the process,” a source said, adding that Sambo had worked assiduously with Jonathan without frictions.

MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CANTEEN- MENU... EXPLAINS WHY

Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb. The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval,has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why...

“Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that's where they chose to immigrate. “They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in Quebec. “They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not the Canadians who so generously welcomed them. “They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (whereas the reverse is not true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants).

“That no more than other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up their identity, their culture.

“And if Canada is a land of welcome, it's not the Mayor of Dorval who welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.

“Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals, religion must remain in the private domain. The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and Sharia. “For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in accordance with Shariah. “If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have considered that life is better in Canada than elsewhere.

“Ask yourself the question, just once, “Why is it better here in Canada than where you come from?”

“A canteen with pork is part of the answer.”

BusinessJonathan Refutes MURIC's Allegation Of Jewish Symbol On N100 Note by ElRey01(op): 2:16am On Nov 25, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday refuted the allegation made against him by the Muslims Right Concern (MURIC) that a Jewish symbol in the proposed commemorative new N100 note which will be officially issued on December 19 was his ploy to promote a Zion nation.

In a statement issued by its Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola on Sunday, the Muslim group had made some grave allegations against the president, including that the security system in Aso Rock was saturated with Israeli security operatives, while Jonathan had chosen to marginalise the North as was seen at the national conference.

But the President in his reaction explained that, while the purported symbol MURIC’s statement was referring to is the Star of David, “there is no where on that proposed note as indicated in the specimen that has been widely publicised where there is any Jewish or Zionist symbol or the Star of David.”

Speaking through his Special Adviser on media and publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the President accused MURIC of attempting to cause disaffection because of the design of the note, “the value of the note is written out in the three major languages in Nigeria, recognised in the constitution: Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa.

“No attempt has been made to use this proposed naira note to discriminate anybody and the attack on President Jonathan is undeserved, unwarranted and totally unkind. I believe that MURIC will see the need to quickly apologise for misleading the public and for issuing that kind of statement that can cause disaffection against the President,” Abati stated.

He described the claim by MURIC that the security system in Aso Rock is saturated with Israeli security operatives as “a blatant lie”, just as he maintained strongly that “there are no Israeli security operatives saturating the security system in Aso Rock.”

In a statement he issued on Monday evening, Abati said, “To convince himself that this is true, we will like to invite Prof. Akintola on a visit to the Presidential Villa, to see whether indeed it is Israelis that are in charge of security.

“The security operatives in the Villa are not foreigners, they are Nigerians and there is no connection with Israel whatsoever. The premised of the issue that formed the basis for Akintola’s vituperation is wrong and he is misinformed.”

Noting that the group’s allegations against the president were rather curious, the presidential spokesman said the Akintola needed to be told that “President Jonathan is not anti-Muslim as he alleges.

“President Jonathan is the President of all Nigerians, whatever may be their beliefs. It is not true that President Jonathan is using the highest office in the country to promote Zion nation. I think that is a most unfortunate statement coming from Prof. Akintola of MURIC and for which they owe President Jonathan an apology.”

On allegation on Muslims’ marginalisation, Abati said, “Two, the MURIC’s director also alleged that Muslims were marginalized in the national conference. Again, this is a very unfortunate thing to say. The truth is that that national conference organised by this administration has been praised and described as probably one of the best of such conferences ever organised in this country. It was a purposeful conference, a conference in which a lot of maturity was displaced.

“Religion was not a big issue at that conference. Rather, the conference was a platform for addressing many issues of general concern to various groups, ethnic or religious. MURIC cannot claim not to know that the conference very successful.”

Clarifying on the claim that the president was planning to create a Zion nation, Abati said, “The Star of David is a hexagram which is two triangles of equal lines superimposed on each other. The hexagram is a very popular symbol, but it is not on that naira note.

“The symbol that he is referring to is not a Jewish symbol. It is what they call spark security feature. It is an optical magnetic feature which enables the public to authenticate a currency note whether it is genuine or counterfeit. That is the function of that particular design.

“That design is not an hexagram and it is not in any way associated with Israel or Jewish or Zionism. It is two squares merged into one with a Manila briquet, which is a symbol of the cowrie money used during the colonial era.”

Christianity EtcWhy I Converted From Islam To Christianity – TV Host Jumai Shaba by ElRey01(op): 5:42am On Nov 24, 2014
In a recent interview with Punch, TV personality, motivational speaker and model, Jumai Shaba opened up on why she embraced the new faith. See excerpts below:

Ques: You shocked many with your recent conversion to Christianity, how did this happen?

Ans: It is something I have been thinking of for a long time. I come from a family of Muslims; my father and siblings are Muslims while my mother is a Christian. To come from a predominantly Muslim background and then become a Christian has to be your calling especially if you are into entertainment. It was my calling. I had to not just be a Christian, but to also live as a Christian. I am very compelled to spread the gospel and that is what I do on my Sunday Vlog series.

Ques: But you were happy being a Muslim?

Ans: Yes, as a Muslim, I was happy but I always yearned for a deeper connection with my creator. One day, I accompanied a friend of mine to a Catholic church and I loved the manner in which they communicated with God. I knew at that moment that I would never turn back. I turned down the chance to run a huge reality show with my sisters in order for me to attend Discipleship School. I got baptised shortly after and gave my life completely to Christ.

Ques: How did you handle reactions from family, fans and friends?

Ans: I didn’t really face any criticism from my father, who is a Muslim but married to a Christian. Obviously, he wanted his children to practise his own religion, but I chose to go with my mother’s side of the divide. As a Muslim, I was very pro-Islam and now as a Christian I am very passionate about my faith. I think my siblings were very shocked at my conversion. They see my lifestyle and have also come to realise that it is not just a phase that I am passing through. The bulk of the criticism I faced was from my Muslim fans and followers especially, on Instagram. They challenged the reason for my conversion.

Ques: Many people are of the opinion that you were looking for an excuse to run a Vlog like some of your colleagues?

Ans: That is not true. I spread the gospel on my Vlog and also talk about how to live your life to the fullest abiding by the tenets of the religion.

Ques: Do you believe in love and marriage?

Ans: I can’t be a born-again Christian and not believe in marriage because it helps. I like the whole idea of a man and a woman coming together to help each other. My idea of an ideal marriage is one where respect and love thrive.

Ques: Your industry is associated with a lot of fakeness. What are your thoughts?

Ans: Even if you are the most real person people will still speak ill of you. However, if you are consistent with being yourself, after a while, you can’t fake anything again. I am true to myself, I don’t put on any airs and I am proud of all that I have achieved for myself by sheer hard work and resilience.

Christianity EtcDon't Be Another Judas Iscariot! by ElRey01(op): 1:01am On Nov 19, 2014
DON'T BE ANOTHER JUDAS ISCARIOT!

You can't outsmart Satan, but you can only overcome him through Christ Jesus.

Luke 22:3, “Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.”

It is not possible for you, as a person, to outsmart Satan; you can only overcome him through Christ Jesus, but you cannot play game with Satan and outsmart him. That was what Judas Iscariot did, and he regretted it. Judas needed money, and he wanted to have it by all means, and so he thought he could play game with Satan and get the money from him. Judas thought he could get the money from Satan and then run away with the money to Jesus, since Jesus would always be there to forgive and help, and Satan is always there to offer the money; so he thought he could play a smart game on Satan by collecting the money and then run to Jesus.

But the true is that, it doesn't work that way, because we can’t mock God by willingly going against His word, and we can’t make fool of Satan by playing game with Him. Judas decided to sell Jesus and get the money, hoping that they would not be able to arrest Jesus, and he would have gotten the money from them; he believed the priests and Pharisees would be the looser, and he would get the money and still have Jesus Christ. He might have thought, “It’s absolutely impossible for them to arrest Jesus, never possible. Jesus who performed a lot of mighty miracles, who walked away several times they attempted to kill Him? Oh never, they can’t arrest Him. Since our agreement would just be for me to betray Jesus, and it is left to them to arrest Him; if they fail to, that is their problem, but then I would have gotten the money in my account. This is a golden chance for me to make money and get my dreamed properties and materials.”

But things didn't work out as he planned and played it. He lost Jesus, he lost the money, he lost his position in the ministry, he lost God’s purpose for his life and he lost eternal life, everything! Matthew 27:3-5, “Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.”And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!” 5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.”

The same trick Satan used to deceive and destroy Judas Iscariot, he is using with so many followers of Jesus today. You need money, you need car, you need house, or you need a job, a position or promotion; you need admission, traveling documents or contracts; you need marital partner or children, whatever you need, Satan knows them. As you are trusting God for everything, then Satan would bring sinful suggestions and ungodly opportunities to you, that, “You can get the money, though in a sinful or satanic way, but after you get the money all you need to do is to run back to Jesus for forgiveness, God is always merciful, He will forgive you and you will retain the money.” Does that not sound beautiful for many people to consider? But it is a trick from the pit of hell.

He will also suggest that you can give the sinful demand to get the job, contracts, admission or documents, “just for you to get what you want and after that you go back to Jesus for forgiveness. Is it not just for a day or once? And you get what you need for life and go back to Jesus? You better be wise. The Bible says wisdom is profitable to direct, be wise!”

Satan may also suggests that you can marry the person, though not genuinely saved, but “after you get married, he or she will be saved, you can help her or him to be saved and then you serve God together” Satan will also tell you that you can give premarital sex so that you don’t loose the person. “No one will know, and after that you ask God to forgive you and get married. You have nothing to loose as long you are wise.”

The secret is that, every suggestion that you should commit sin or compromise your faith to get what you want, and after all ask God to forgive you, such suggestion is originated from Satan to deceive you and ruin you, he is trying to make another Judas Iscariot out of you. It was Satan who deceived Judas to do what he did. Luke 22:3, “Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.”

You cannot eat your cake and have it at the same time, you cannot mock God and make it, and you cannot play game with Satan and outsmart him. Judas Iscariot tried it, and he could not retrieve his way back, he lost everything. You must be wise to be warned not to become another Judas Iscariot of this generation, by thinking you can quickly get something in a sinful or satanic way and quickly get back to Jesus; you may never find your way back again, Judas could not make it back even though he cried and was remorse.

This trick of Satan of “Go Against God And Go back To Him After you Get What You Want” is an old trick and so deceptive; he even attempted to use it against Jesus Christ. In the wilderness, he came to tempt Jesus Christ, that Jesus should fall down, and God would be there to go Him. Luke 4:9-12.

The suggestion of Satan that you can quickly fall and God is there to raise you up is an act of tempting God, and you must not turn to such so that you will not be turned to pieces.

After you are saved, never attempt to succumb to satanic suggestion to play game with your soul; never think of going quickly into sin to get back to God; that will be a dangerous trip. “For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgement, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.” Hebrews 10:26, 27.

Wait upon the Lord for what you need, and be content with what you have. Never yield to the trick of Satan to take a short trip to sin to trap you. Do not be another Judas Iscariot, and do not become another Esau.

“Lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterwards, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.” Hebrews 12:16, 17.
