That aunty in the last picture be celebrating than Adeboye... seems she is still single.

Lol. I guess she's on duty. By the inscription, she is likely a greeter.

I was in church today with the Isreali Ambassador to Nigeria: Ambassador Simon Ben-Shoshan and it was a great experience in Gods [i][/i]presence.

What you focus on is what you will become. Where you look will determine where you will end up.

If you look down, you are likely to see problems and challenges. You are likely to be discouraged. Matthew 14: 22-33

If you look around, you will see other men like you, people with similar or worse problems like you. If you look unto men for help, you will be disappointed. Psalms 60:11

When you look up, you will see the Almighty, sitting on His throne with absolute control. Isaiah 60:1

If you look up to God, you will be blessed.
Jeremiah 17:7-8

Joshua 10:12-13
Not only can God ask the sun to stand still, he can also ask the sun to go backwards.
Isaiah 38:1-9
God can bring the opportunities you may have lost back to you.

It doesn't matter what people are saying concerning you, God knows from the beginning where He is taking you, and He will bring you there.

Daniel 3:13-30.
God is seated in the heavens and controls fire.

1 Kings 17: 2-6.
God controls animals and birds.
Every person you meet is planned from God. The connection you think you have, is controlled by God.

Do you want to look down and see problems, or you want to look around and see men who also have their own problems, or you want to look up and see the Almighty God who has control over all things?

The choice is yours!

The Senator from the Northern part of Nigeria, Shehu Sani has claimed in a Tweet that most big men who own big farms in the rural part of the country have abandoned their farms as a result of the increasing rate of kidnapping.

See what he wrote...

"Most Bigmen own Big farms in the rural areas for the sole purpose of accessing agricultural loans that comes with lowest interests & almost give away conditions.The productive peasants are disadvantaged. Now most of these farms have been abandoned because of kidnappings."

Nigerians and their awkward way of expression in English.
Big men - is it as in amount of fats gathered in the tummy, or the head? Heights or thickness?

Senator Ben Murray Bruce twitted this and a reply by a twitter user will shock you.

"Rwanda is far ahead of Nigeria in renewable energy. They are a small giant of Africa. If we don’t take steps to cover lost grounds by passing laws and implementing policies to encourage electric cars and vehicles, Rwanda may go from being a small giant to becoming the main giant"

-Senator Ben Murray Bruce

TWITTER USER RESPONDED WITH BOMB:

Why do you like to compare Rwanda with Nigeria? It's obvious you don't know the enormity of our requirements as a Nation. Rwanda's total installed power capacity is barely 220MW. Kanji dam alone is 760MW of renewable energy. Rwanda has 50,000 cars, Nigeria has over 11m cars.
[b]
Kanji dam with 760MW hydro will supply thrice what Rwanda requires. We require 25000MW, how easy is it for us to get this via renewable energy? SA, USA, India, China, Australia are heavily reliant on coal as their source of energy. They fire coal heavily to generate power.

Despite the abundant coal Nigeria has, Nigeria doesn't fire coal rather we rely on hydro and thermal.[/b]

Do we have the resources to embark on your wild goose renewable energy project when you and your colleagues gulp billions of our scarce resources annually?

Why can't you compare how much you take home annually with what the average Rwandan legislator earn? The Rwandan senate president earns 16m RWF annually, $18000. Your monthly salary is twice his annual wage.

Paul Kagame earns $85,000 annually. With your N13m monthly allowance, you earn 5 times what he earns annually doing nothing. Can you compare yourself to Kagame? Can you justify your callous wage?"

Gazzy88:
There is something binding amosun and buhari. It's beyond politics at all. Despite what happened during the last election period, buhari still have to shunned other important engagements for this ogun visit. Remember he only sent osibanjo to imo state instead of him being on ground. Infact he should be in South Africa today at their president's inauguration but he sent osibanjo again to represent him. Amosun and buhari are too close to be separated by sentiments.

Nothing special my brother, it's to let the national letter writer be aware that he (PMB) is still in charge!

Yoruba or the south? Where is obasanjo who did 8years from?

He is from the South!
Are you relieved now?

…Asks Buhari to visit Israel too

John Ameh, Abuja

The Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Shimon Ben-Shosan, said on Thursday that his Prime Minister, Mr Benjamin Netanyahu, and the President, Mr Reuvin Rivlin, could visit Nigeria soon, 61 years after an Israeli PM came to Nigeria in 1958.

Ben-Shosan also said Israel would want President Muhammed Buhari to pay a visit to the country, saying that such visits from the topmost political leaders on both sides would be “historic.”


He spoke at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, when he presented his Letters of Credence to the Nigerian President.

Buhari had already invited Netanyahu to attend Nigeria’s Democracy Day celebrations coming up on June 12.

The ambassador did not say whether Netanyahu would honour the invitation, but he spoke of the many years of bilateral relations between Nigeria and Israel.

He said, ‘‘Next year will be 60 years of diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Israel, and the last time a Prime Minister of Israel visited Nigeria was in 1958.

‘‘My dream is to bring my Prime Minister and President to visit Nigeria and for President Buhari to visit Israel.
[b][/b]

“That will be historic for us.”

A State House statement released by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said Buhari, while receiving the envoy, acknowledged the diversity of Nigeria as being the “strength for the development of the country.”

The statement added, “The President said Nigeria and Israel have enjoyed cordial bilateral relations, highlighting that many Nigerian Christians look forward to performing pilgrimage to the Holy Land in Israel.”

May 23, 2019Kemi Busari

The Nigerian Senate on Thursday passed a bill to convert the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) to City University of Technology.

In his lead debate, Mr Ashafa argued that Nigeria’s march towards providing education for all in the shortest possible time informed his introduction of the bill.

He said the new university will encourage the advancement of’ learning among other benefits.

This guy sef,
Thanks PMB ,what does that imply. Does it mean that Buhari has been islamizing appointees. This talk conveys more than the surface meaning . It think Nigerians should take notice of this statement.

What are you taking note of? So this witty comment is giving you brain heat?
Where did we get these kind into this important forum?

opebiboy:
make thunder fire you there and your generation yet unborn. In a sane society gandollar will reign. Ogun kill ur entire family generation this morning, comparing small ant like naira marley to gandollar. Bastarrd!

You still didn't disappoint me!

OK. But why is the EFCC not prosecuting gandollar and orji uzor kalu

Did you arrive from the land of the dead? Sane Nairalanders know when OUK went to court (either fake or not) or is it when hammer is applied to his head?
For "Gandollar", basic certificate should have afforded you the understanding that NO ONE can prosecute a sitting governor.
Nigeria is not run like an autonomous community!

He also encouraged them to stay on till a day to the commencement of his second term .
See the full closing remarks , as published by the News Agency of Nigeria :

CLOSING REMARKS BY H. E . PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI AT THE VALEDICTORY SESSION FOR MEMBERS OF THE FEDERAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL ( 2015 – 2019 ) AT THE STATE HOUSE COUNCIL CHAMBER ON 22 ND MAY , 2019 .

Today ’s Federal Executive Council meeting is the last time we will meet as a cabinet before the commencement of the second and final term of this Administration .

2 . Our first meeting in this chamber was in November 2015 . Over the past three and a half years , we worked together to deliver our campaign promises. I strongly believe that it is this team work that led to the successes recorded during our first term .

3 . Some of our colleagues , with whom we started this journey , unfortunately are not here to join us in celebrating our successes .

4 . Specifically , I must recognise our late brother , James Ocholi , SAN who passed away in a fearful motor accident with his wife , Blessing , and son , Joshua, only four months after being sworn in as a minister .

5 . I want us to all put him , and , indeed, his family, in our memory . He was a true patriot committed to our change agenda .

6 . I also acknowledge the contributions of other council members who resigned before the completion of our tenure to pursue other opportunities.

7 . You will recall that when we started this journey , our country was facing numerous challenges .

8 . We inherited a broken economy which eventually went into recession in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2016 . The situation was further compounded by insecurity and massive corruption .

9 . Many would have given up . Indeed , many outside commentators said our situation was well nigh hopeless . However, we all came together and pushed forward to deliver our campaign promise to rescue our country from its parlous state .

10 . Although we all had a common vision , we frequently had heated debates in this room on the best way to achieve our goals . These differing views are what made the decisions we took all the more rational.

11 . It is this quality that made me retain my cabinet for the full term . Each of you in this room has a unique skill and strength . We are a reflection of the Nigeria we aspire to achieve . A diverse but tolerant nation where no one is silenced and where every opinion should be heard and considered .

12 . I want you all to leave this meeting proud to have served your nation to the best of your ability.

13 . You should be proud to have been part of the Government that liberated the local governments previously under Boko Haram rule.

14 . You should be proud to have contributed to our food security and economic diversification agenda which led to the revival of our rural agrarian economy

15 . You should be proud to have been part of the team that developed the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan which led Nigeria exiting its worst recession in decades.

16 . You should be proud to have introduced the social investment program that enhanced livelihoods of millions of Nigerians .

17 . You should be proud to have participated in settling outstanding pensions of many senior citizens abandoned by previous governments while supporting state governments to meet their salary arrears .

18 . And , of course, you should all be proud to have overseen the most ambitious road , rail and airport rehabilitation programs in the history of our country .

19 . I want to put on record , that your achievements in the last three and a half hears has guaranteed your position in the history books of this nation . You have certainly built the foundations for an improved economy and a more purposeful government .

20 . Although today is our last council meeting , I expect all of you to continue working until Tuesday , 28 th May 2019 when you will officially hand over your schedules to your respective Permanent Secretaries . Your handing over letters should be submitted to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

21 . I want to conclude by thanking all of you for agreeing to serve our nation during these difficult times. I want to use this opportunity to recognise the silent partners to this cabinet, your spouses , families and friends , who supported you through these years.

22 . I wish you the very best of luck and pray for your successes , for dear families and our for country in the years ahead.

Thank you and God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
