Stop defending the indefensible.
This woman is threading into areas they promised us they will not go.
What is wrong with a simple letter without all this crap Excellency and seal and simply invite kids to the party she is organizing.
Power has a way of encroaching into the sensibilities of otherwise sane persons.

Arguing or debating with Oshiomole is like debating with NL's Coogar.
you have lost even before the debate began.
There staying power is legendary.
NOI should just give up, Adams is not a man to be messed with in arguments and debates.
He is not your average Nigerian politician.
It is like arguing with El-Rufai.

Omololu Ogunmade in Abuja

There seems to be no end in sight on the crisis of confidence rocking the Senate, as a fresh discovery by THISDAY monday showed that the amended Senate Standing Rules 2015 prescribes equal committee chairmanship positions for each of the six geo-political zones of the country.

This provision, which is found in Section 3(iv) of the 2015 Senate Standing Orders, does not exist in 2011 edition used during the seventh Senate. This implies that the zones controlled by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will chair almost the same number of committees in this eighth Senate with those controlled by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The section provides that “the appointment of senators as chairmen and members of committees shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the six geo-political zones of the country and there shall be no predominance of senators from a few geo-political zones.”
This new development is a deviation from the hitherto existing tradition in the Senate in which chairmanships of two committees - Public Accounts and Ethics and Privileges - were the only two committees reserved for the opposition.

But this new development has changed the status quo in which the opposition existed at the mercy of the majority party. The Senate president would hitherto give the headships of both committees to his favourites among the opposition senators.

In the seventh Senate for instance, Senator Ahmad Lawan (Yobe North), who was one of the senators loyal to Mark, headed the Public Accounts Committee while Senator Ayo Akinyelure (Ondo North) was given the chairmanship of Ethics and Privileges’ Committee because of the affinity of Labour Party (LP) with PDP at the time. Akinyelure was then a member of LP.

However, Mark deviated a little bit from the norm by conceding three more committee chairmanships to the opposition. The committees were Science and Technology, Capital Market and Privatisation chaired by Senators Ajayi Borrofice (Ondo North), Ayo Adeseun (Oyo Central) and Gbenga Obadara (Ogun Central) respectively.

There are currently 57 standing committees in the Senate. During the Seventh Senate when committees were not chaired on the basis of geo-political zones but at the discretion of the Selection Committee chaired by the then Senate President, David Mark, the positions were unevenly distributed as the then PDP caucus proudly made away with about 50 committee chairmanships.

The breakdown as cross-checked monday showed that South-south produced 14 committee chairmen which was the highest among the existing six zones. This was followed by North-central which produced 10, South-east (10); North-west (10); North-east (7) and South-west (4).

But going by Section 3(iv) of the 2015 Senate Standing Rules, 57 committee chairmanships equally shared on the basis of six geo-political zones will imply that each zone will produce nine committee chairmen which will amount to 54 while the remaining three slots will be allotted at the Senate President’s discretion.

This development which appears not to be in the consciousness of members of Senate Unity Forum yet is likely to herald another round of crisis within the fold of the APC, which is yet to overcome the crisis caused by the emergence of Saraki as Senate President on June 9 in contrast to the party’s wish.

Both the party leadership and the Senate Unity Forum, which promoted the aspiration of Lawan for Senate Presidency, had been more pained that the opposition PDP produced Senator Ike Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President. The party believes the office exclusively belongs to APC which possesses the majority status in the eight Senate.

Further rejection of Lawan as Senate Leader by his zonal caucus as opposed to the recommendation of the party leadership has further pitted both factions of APC in the Senate against each other.

The latest cold war in the Senate was orchestrated by the petition written by the Unity Forum to the Inspector General of Police (IG), Solomon Arase, alleging that some sections of the 2015 Senate rules had been forged by certain senators from the PDP.

The contention was that the Senate Standing Rules 2015 was secretly produced with an amendment which replaced the provision that provided for the election of presiding officers of the Senate using open ballot with secret ballot.

Whereas the dust generated by the petition is yet to settle, the situation may be aggravated when it dawns on members of the Unity Forum that the committee chairmanships will be shared equally with their PDP counterparts on zonal basis.

This is moreso that Lawan’s camp which lost out in the recent power game which produced Saraki and Ekweremadu had hoped to be compensated by committee chairmanships when the selection will eventually be done. The Senate will resume from its three-week break on July 21.

The commission’s Executive Secretary, John Keneddy-Opara, told State House correspondents after briefing Buhari on the commission’s activities at the State House, Abuja.



President, so that the Federal Government and states will spend the necessary resources on other things while the pilgrimage is self-funding as time goes on.

“We are already running four pilgrimages in one year. The first is the Easter pilgrimage, which has passed, the Youth Pilgrimage which we termed operation catch them young, the family pilgrimage and the overall pilgrimage. For those going to Israel for the 11 days trip, it is N379,840 and for the youth pilgrimage, it is going to cost N357,000.”



He added: “We are introducing the pilgrimage pilot lottery scheme that will enable people who are lucky to be able to go on this trip without much dependence on the state and the Federal Government.”


Modern day scams.
If you are a Christian and you are not ashamed and disgusted by these schemes, then your conscience is dead.

Kaduna state governor, Nasir El Rufai says NNPC has to die for the Nigerian oil industry to move forward. According to him, if the nation's oil corporation is not 'killed', it will kill Nigeria. He said this while speaking at the 7th Wole Soyinka Lecture holding in Lagos today July 13th
"If you don’t kill NNPC, it kill Nigeria,”

Shame dey catch me to watch the video sef.

[b] Oh Please!
I promised I'd stop doing any comments, but mehn! this topic piqued my interest.



Minion: Dark Master of Destruction! News reach us. The Nigerian men of God have commanded that they be exempt from all works of comedy. They warn that their highly anointed offices wields great spiritual power. That mockery of that office, is dangerous affair.

Hades: Hmm! Lowly minion! The people do not understand, how beautiful it would be if they did. How can one man stand up and say to another "mock me and be done with", in this time and age where even their Presidents and World rulers are used as subject of comedy. Even their Obamas and their Buhari can be freely laughed about, then why not them. Why will he say "do not mock men of God"? Why not say "do not mock God"? Is the man of God not but still a man? A mere buildup of bone and hair like other men. Does blood not still run in his veins? Why does he not say also "respect all men in high places, respect all elected officials, people that weild political power over other people"? He only says "Respect spiritual power" and he remains indifferent to the people that weild all other forms of power. Men should not be ao blinded. They should not forget that Men who claim to have power have wreaked the most destruction and the most beauty upon their world. Do not forget to think with logic.

Minion: Dark King! Your knowledge illuminates and baffles me all at once.

Lovely!
Reads like a sequel to Screwtape Letters!!

gbabi69:

You are wrong. Life is spiritual. You can express anything you like but be careful with spiritual things.
That's the lesson here.

So the doctors, presidents and nurses are not spiritual beings?

lucksonlight:


'Don't joke with pastor they occupy a sacred office'. When God wants to destroy a man he sends him against a prophet(man of God). He said there are many things to joke or play with but not with a man called by God.

This is classic MANIPULATION, SEDUCTION AND CONTROL.
God it is who should not be joked with. However, even those who joke with God are not liable to be struck by thunder and lighting s the God of the Bible is not into such business. Jesus, His Son makes it clear that it is the devil that kills, steals and destroys. Jehovah does not kill.
Every Child of God is called by God and this thing of Men of God being some exception is laughable, manipulative and crass.

HopeAlive14:
Neither judge them.

Let He who called them be their judge.

God called all of us.
So no one should judge another,abi?
Every child of God has a calling.

Yinka Odumakin is filled with so much bile and hatred for Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu has rendered the bunch of old men that Yinka Odumakin hangs around so useless they they all feel traumatized for live.
Tinubu might be biting more than he can chew at present but the old senile men of Afenifere can never hold a candle to his path.
No Yoruba man, living or death can match the myth of Awo.

Stinking Corrupt báśtárd

Unlike Saraki, akpabio, bode George, Obanikoro, t.a. Orji and odili.

I have long suspected his sudden loss of weight.
My only worry is how a guy like him with all the resource at his disposal did not fly out and have a thorough medical evaluation when he started losing unexplained weight. We need to be more vigilant over our health,especially when funds are not a limitation.

MosakuAW:

Whaooo! One of my best standup Comendian

Julius, may God continue to protect you. You will not die before your time. Wishing you more recovery.

To the so called Yes Magazine: Is this journalism, because what i read in your write up was just crap to me. Am not a journalist but how can you be reporting about someone's health which is life threatening and you are including nonsense in your report like:

"One of his car"

"Sumptuously&Stylishly furnished"

"His wife Ibiere who he lavished with"

"Their hospital in lekki"

Health is Wealth.

We are talking about health, you are pointing out his wealth.

We all know Julius worked hard to put all these wealth together but his health is paramount.

Azuh is a close friend of Julius and I am sure he feels emphatically about his condition, however, he comes from the Dele Momodu school of gutter journalism. They do not know where to leave tabloid prose and write with empathy.

player007:

This thing get K leg no be small. Is there a way you can get back to the prophet? Or you pray about it if you can't find him. God's prophecy works in funny ways. Seems to me that you were in a hurry to marry that's why you are in this predicament.

God's prophecies do not work in any funny way. He is not a comedian.

Arami92:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."

If I were this woman I would take into fervent prayer and fasting. One thing about Gods word is he will always make a way..

And I think this also requires her to be very honest with herself..did she marry this current man out of impatience or out of true genuine love, let's be honest many Nigerian women force marriage on themselves based on time or money..so if she's only been married for 2 moths it's better to put a halt to it now than be looking back on regret 20 years later...


But the best advice I can give you is that this is between her and God. She needs to go into serious prayer and fasting, when I'm in a big issue I even call my parents to pray and fast with me..something's are too big for us to understand and if this is TRULY Gods word he will make the path clear to her. She should be wise and not act in haste because there are many false prophets in this world...be careful and be prayerful. I wish her the best.

This how you guys abuse fasting.
What is there to fast about?
She should call of her marriage for a doctor that does not even respect the sanctity of her marital vows? What if the guy is a doctor but godless and an abuser?

nkemdi89:
Impatience, but if that prophecy will come to past two things are involved divorcee or widow. The widow own may come first so that the prophecy will work.

The prophecy is from the pit of hell.

kingsleyuk2003:
There is a difference between God's perfect will and permissive will. It is left for us to choose which on we want. If she is with the permissive will, then God knows and can help them leave together as a happy home. There is no option for divorce. Infact a good prophet would not support divorce. Please tell her to live her life with her current husband. However, perfect will is the best, because they might be so many things she could have been enjoying which she is not enjoying, only if she is with the permissive will.

God does not have anything like a perfect will when it comes to the choice of a partner.

Let us stop roping God into the errors of our choices.

God does not choose spouses for anyone.
Neither does he have one individual for another specific person.
