The Redeemed Christian Church of God announced the retirement of 20 Senior Pastors who have attained the age of 70.

The announcement was made at the conclusion of this year’s ministers’ conference (it yearly preceedes the convention) with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E. A Adeboye.

Six of the pastors received awards of Excellence while the remaining 14 got the award of “Fruitful”. Moreover, they all received the G.O’s handshake, plaques and undisclosed sums of money. The church thanked the retirees and prayed for them.
Also, the church gave awards to some of its pastors who have put in 20 years and above. They are in the categories of 20, 25 and 30 years.

To prevent the health crises recorded during the marathon fast declared by the church last year, Adeboye advised members to always break with pap or other soft items, rather than solid food which takes longer time to digest.

But we do not need to use hate speech on each other, but that does not stop us from seating in a beautiful hall and discussing how to stay together.
And those who still think they want to go should be allowed to do so peacefully.

England allowed Scotland to do theirs recently

Or are some zones scared of other zones
Does it mean they cannot survive without depending on those zones

History and Amazing Facts About Eid al-Fitr 2015

Eid al-Fitr or ‘festival of the breaking of the fast’ in Arabic, is celebrated at the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal, the 10th month of the lunar Islamic calendar.

Muslims around the world observe the holy month of Ramadan by fasting from dawn to dusk. The festival of Eid is a reward for them.

Apart from fasting, Muslims restrain themselves from all kinds of vices including, lying, cheating, violence and theft during the holy month.

The celebration of Eid also marks the anniversary of the Quran being revealed.

History of Eid al-Fitr

The history of the most significant Muslim celebration dates back to 610 AD when Prophet Mohammed, while meditating, had visions of angel Jibril, the messenger of Allah.

Over the years, Prophet Mohammed, under the guidance of Jibril, wrote the holy verses of wisdom which later became the code of conduct for followers of Islam and were documented as the holy book of Quran.

CrimeRe: Man Jailed For Threatening, Injuring Dog At Dutse by ican2020: 1:49pm On Jun 23, 2015
DONSMITH123:
An Abuja Grade 1 Area Court has sentenced a 29-year-old furniture maker to two months’ imprisonment for amputating the leg of a neighbour’s dog.

Ekene Ukachukwu of New Jerusalem, Dutsen-Makaranta in Bwari Area Council was convicted for cruelty to animal, an offence that contradicts Section 207 of the Penal Code.

The police prosecutor, Kaura Arziki, told the court that the complainant, one Kasimu Braimoh, of same address on March 3, reported at the Dutsen- Alhaji Police Station how the accused, on March 7, threatened to kill his dog whenever it goes to his house, and that when confronted, the accused repeated the same threat to him.

The prosecutor further said the complainant, on the following day, discovered that his dog valued at N25,000 had been macheted and the right leg amputated.

He said the accused admitted committing the act when accosted, adding that he was going to do more.

When the charge was read to the accused, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment by the judge, Mohammed Marafa, with an option of N10,000 fine.

The court also ordered him to pay a compensation of N25,000.

Similarly, a 24-year-old technician was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment by the same court for assisting a suspect to escape arrest.

Felix Benjamin of New Site Dutsen-Makaranta was convicted for screening of an offender, an offence that contradicts Section 167 of the Penal Code.

The police prosecutor, Kaura Arziki, told the court that the complainant, Kasimu Braimoh of same address, invited a police officer from Dutsen-Makaranta Police Outpost, on same date, to arrest one Ekene Ukachukwu for amputating the right leg of his dog.

He said the accused asked the suspect to run away to escape arrest, which he did, adding that the accused admitted committing the offence during police interrogation.

When the charge was read to the accused, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment by judge Mohammed Marafa with an option of N20,000 fine.

CrimeSexual Offences Bill: No 11 Years As Age Of Consent by ican2020(op): 6:47am On Jun 14, 2015
Sexual Offences Bill: No 11 years as age of consent
SENATOR CHRIS ANYANWU
In the past three days, I have been inundated with calls, emails and text messages from all over the world over some mystical issue called “age of consent” supposedly pegged at 11 years in a bill passed in Nigeria. What is amazing to me is that some of the people who have been furiously ped­dling this story are supposedly learned people. But for some reasons best known to them, they have failed to ap­ply the usual rigor to check out their facts before broadcasting.

I am not just amazed, I would say I am even amused that the furor is about a bill that I presented, something that has been in the works since the Sixth senate, has gone through the scrutiny of legal drafters, has passed through an intense public hearing with many judges, state attorneys general and law reform people participating. What is most intriguing is that with the ex­ception of a few persons, most others simply joined the wave, ranting and cursing on the web over something that they have no clarity on. Rarely did the conversations I read flow in the direction of a genuine search for the veracity of the story. And when I read a former Minister join up with utter banalities like: “the Senate has passed a law which makes it legal to have sex with an 11 year old child”, I was ashamed for the hecklers, wor­ried for the young men and women out there who may be looking to such persons for example.

Now what exactly did Senate do? It passed a bill to protect Nigerians big or small, male or female and espe­cially the young and vulnerable per­sons—children, persons with mental disabilities, elderly persons– from all forms of Sexual offences. It is called “The Sexual Offences Bill 2015” and I am proud to have proposed it.

Last Friday, I read a story in one of the national dailies about a little six year old girl who was first raped to death and then set ablaze.

In the past, such stories would have been aberrations that would domi­nate news for weeks. But now, people hardly notice because they are com­mon occurences. Nigerians have been numbed by horror. Many don’t feel anything anymore. The crimes that happen here are so horrendous they cry out to heavens. But no one listens. This time, the Upper Chamber decid­ed it is time to not just listen but act. It passed the 47 page landmark bill. On the two occasions that I have pre­sented the bill, not one Senator op­posed the spirit and intent of the bill. Infact, the Senate was so concerned this time around that it toughened the proposed bill, prescribed stiffer penalties, minimizing the gaps in our legal system which created room for dangerous offenders to get away with a slap in the wrist each time they com­mit a more heinous crime.

From clause 1 to 46, the bill com­prehensively covers offences ranging from the common to the unknown: from rape, sexual assault, defilement, gang rape, child sex tourism, child prostitution and child pornography; incest by male and incest by female persons; to indecent exposure, sexual harassment, sexual offences related to positions of Authority, administer­ing substance with intent to stupefy and overwhelm, deliberate transmis­sion of HIV and any other life threat­ening sexually transmitted diseases. It updates laws passed as far back as 1945 and handed over to Nigeria by the Colonial Administration and brings them up to scratch with con­temporary practice. We also include some crimes that have not yet mani­fested in Nigeria but which we know will soon arrive because Nigeria is well hooked into the global village.

The bill also introduces innovations to strengthen the practice and fur­ther protect the vulnerable such as supervision for dangerous offenders, disclosure of conviction of sexual of­fences, vulnerable witnesses protec­tion, punishment for false allegation, admission of forensic evidence, and medical treatment orders for offend­ers etc.

In the 47 page document, there is no where it states that 11 years is “the age of consent”. Infact, the bill passed by Senate, makes no mention of 11 years. The whole noise and fury is a clear case of someone reading a legal document up-side down; choosing to retain a phrase in the draft which had been rejected and cancelled out dur­ing the final reading and then reading it totally out of context.

It was a classical case of mischief or ignorance but here’s what Senate passed in reference to the Defilement of Children in clause 6 (2): “A Person Who Commits An Offence Of Defile­ment Shall Upon Conviction Be Sen­tenced To Imprisonment For Life”. No age. No 11 years as age of consent. If that had happened, many of us would not have been party to that kind of law.

Mercifully, The Sexual Offences Bill, as passed, does not deal with the defi­nition of who is a child. That has al­ready been done by established laws . However, in clause 6(3) it makes allu­sion to the age of 18 years as the ter­minal point of childhood when it talks of deception as defense. This con­forms with section 29 of the constitu­tion and the Child Rights Act. Given these facts, all the fire and brimstone rained by the online mob was about nothing and came to nothing. People were merely making vacuous noises without attempting to get the true facts. Had some reporters who were quoting the social media taken the trouble to get and read through the Votes and Proceedings of Senate for that day, they would have been able to educate the public on what actually transpired.
No one who has gone through this revolutionary bill passed by Senate and concurred by the House would have nothing but gratitude and re­spect for the 7th Senate. It is now clear that mischief and ignorance fired this undeserved insult. In these “change” times, it will help if we all learn new ways. We must refrain from being too quick to judge and con­demn. I so

PoliticsYou Tambuwaled Me, I Sarakied You by ican2020(op): 5:19am On Jun 13, 2015
“Senator Bukola and Hon. Dogara are not the candidates of the APC and a majority of its National Assembly members-elect for the positions of Senate President and House Speaker…. The party is supreme and its interest is superior to that of its individual members.

Consequently, the APC leadership is meeting in a bid to re-establish discipline in the party and to mete out the necessary sanctions to all those involved in what is nothing but a monumental act of indiscipline and betrayal to subject the party to ridicule and create obstacles for the new administration… There can be no higher level of treachery, disloyalty and insincerity within any party”.
-Alh Lai Mohammed, National Publicity Secetary, APC

Unless you saw the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed, gallantly defend the party’s position on national televisions, you would hardly believe that he indeed issued the statement, which excerpts I quoted above. It is a typical case of talking from both sides of the mouth.

It is easily recalled that the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN’s spokesman applauded when Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal beat Hon. Mulikat Akande-Adeola blue and black against the zoning formula and directive of the former ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP through ACN’s conspiracy with some ‘rebellious’ PDP lawmakers. It was all about Ahmed Bola Tinubu ensuring that the PDP did not have any rallying point in the South West and also to trigger internal discord. And indeed, the PDP and Jonathan’s administration never recovered from that blow.

Fast-forward to October 2015 when Tambuwal defected from the PDP to the APC. Again, hear Lai Mohammed: “I must say that this historic development means that our democracy is growing by the day and it is dynamic. On a more serious note, we welcome the defection of Tambuwal to APC. With this defection, APC has now taken the leadership of one arm of the national legislature. We think that having the head of the legislature from the opposition party makes for a balanced setting in government and it’s good for democracy”.

Citing the example of the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN) and Nigerian Peoples Party (NPP) accord in which the ruling party, the NPN, shared the leadership of both chambers of the National Assembly, NASS, he enthused: “When the accord concordia broke down, the then Speaker, Chief Edwin Umezoke, did not relinquish his position. Those who are saying that this has not happened before and that Tambuwal should step aside as speaker, do not have the backing of history and the constitution”.

Today, the former Minority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila is also crying foul. Hear him on Tambuwal’s defection: “We welcome and applaud the speaker’s decision… We are proud to acknowledge that the speaker remains not only a member of the House of Representatives but also its speaker. This position is consistent with the law and practice in a presidential system of government and Nigeria is no different. For the avoidance of doubt, the constitution requires only that the speaker or deputy speaker of the House of Representatives shall be elected by members of that House from among themselves. As a caucus, we pledge our continued support to the current leadership of the House of Representatives”.

Also, speaking at the APC Special Convention on October 29, 2015, the now incumbent President praised Hon. Tambuwal to the high heavens for defecting to APC and smartly retaining his office by shutting down House. Buhari’s exact words: “We will like to thank Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal for what he did yesterday. We were overwhelmed. Taking such a remarkable risk and sending everybody on holidays till December is an achievement”.

In view of all these, one wonders what moral grounds the APC cries blue murder over the successful democratic revolution that took place at the NASS on June 9 against impunity. It is an incident that has further bared the ugly underbelly and hypocrisy among the APC leaders.
