Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I
say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties
of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.
It is a dream deeply rooted in the American
dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will
rise up and live out the true meaning of its
creed: "We hold these truths to be self-
evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills
of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and
the sons of former slave owners will be able
to sit down together at the table of
brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state
of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the
heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of
oppression, will be transformed into an
oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children
will one day live in a nation where they will
not be judged by the color of their skin but
by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in
Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its
governor having his lips dripping with the
words of "interposition" and "nullification"
-- one day right there in Alabama little black
boys and black girls will be able to join
hands with little white boys and white girls
as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall
be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall
be made low, the rough places will be made
plain, and the crooked places will be made
straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be
revealed and all flesh shall see it together."2
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I
go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of
the mountain of despair a stone of hope.
With this faith, we will be able to transform
the jangling discords of our nation into a
beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With
this faith, we will be able to work together,
to pray together, to struggle together, to go
to jail together, to stand up for freedom
together, knowing that we will be free one
day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day
when all of God's children will be able to
sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of
liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the
Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom
ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this
must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious
hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty
mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening
Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped
Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous
slopes of California.
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain
of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout
Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and
molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom
ring.
And when this happens, and when we allow
freedom ring, when we let it ring from every
village and every hamlet, from every state
and every city, we will be able to speed up
that day when all of God's children, black
men and white men, Jews and Gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join
hands and sing in the words of the old
Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

If this money extorted are deposited to govt account that is differnt but they keep it to themselves. CRIMINALS ARRESTING OFFENDERS, Naija i hail oooooo

They make us feel like if you are not RICH you are not fulfilling God's purpose on earth.

Afam4eva: I'm not doubting this man's story as there are similar stories that i've heard but i think it's imperative that i highlight something that does not add up.

Pls, when did we start using blackberry phones in Nigeria cos it seems this guy was referring to his childhood or teenage-hood and even if he wasn't. I was able to infer that he stayed 6 years in prison way after they had stolen a blackberry phone and gone into hardcore robbery. I may be wrong though.

you are not wrong guy, that was the first thing that struck my heart when i was reading it. It seems like afabricated story.

There has been conflicting reports on
the proposed world record move for
Welsh winger, Gareth Bale, from
Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid as the
transfer now appears imminent.
Gareth Bale Set For Real Switch But Could
Completion of This Long Awaited Move?
The London club is presently
considering a separate offer in addition
to Real’s £86m bid for the 24-year-old
forward, sources at White Hart Lane
revealed to Sky Sports and the BBC Sport.
The identity of the second suitor has not
been made public but Manchester
United have touted the Welshman
throughout the summer.
Bale spent two days at Jonathan
Barnett’s (his agent) apartment in
Marbella over the weekend and manager
Andre Villas-Boas said after Sunday’s
narrow home victory over Swansea that
the player is expected back to the club’s
training ground on Tuesday to resume a
fitness programme.
However, Bale’s career with Spurs looks
to be winding down with Real
considered in pole position to land the
Welshman, but Spurs haven’t confirmed
any agreement.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy
signed off the staggering move for the
PFA Player of the Year following talks
with directors in the boardroom at
White Hart Lane.
(Daniel) Levy, along with Bernett and
(Franco, Spurs’ football director)
Baldini thrashed out terms with
(Florentino, Madrid president) Perez
last week. The last act will be played
out when Levy and Perez sign a final
formal document, but that is seen as a
formality … reports the Daily Mail.
Reports also suggests that Spurs have
approached Chelsea about buying a
replacement for their outgoing
midfielder since the deal to include
Real’s left-back Fabio Coentrao as part of
the package, fell through. Roma’s Eric
Lamela has also being lined up as a
possible replacement for the Bale.
Bale, who joined Tottenham for £10m in
2007 from Southampton, scored 26
goals last season on the way to claiming
double gongs in the Professional
Footballers’ Association Player of the
Year and the PFA Young Player of the
Year, capped with the Footballer Writers’
Association Footballer of the Year.
Madrid have already recruited Spanish
midfielder Asier Illaramendi from Real
Sociedad for £34m and Isco from Malaga
for £23m, bringing their total spending
this summer in excess of £50m.
Having lost out of the race to sign Willian
to Chelsea, Spurs are however not happy
with the Stamford Bridge club’s
insistence on not letting one of their
attackers move the other way round,
even when the (unmentioned) attacker
wouldn’t want to play second fiddle to
the incoming Anzhi Mahkachkala’s
attacking midfielder.

I belive if not for the scandal on ground, these audition would not even be seen anywhere. She used the pastor as a steping stone to fame. omaseoooooo.

The sack is based on looting performance and not evaluation performance.

Is there any scientific prove for the appearance of rainbow in the sky during raining season OR it is a sign to remind God not to destroy the earth with water as it is written in the bible.

What is your opinion about the Channels
Television interview that brought you
instant fame?
I have nothing much to say other than
to bless God for everything. I thank God
for all that happened; I thank God for my
boss, his support and love. He is a good
boss and I appreciate him. As far as I am
concerned all things work well for those
who love God and in all things, the Bible
says we should praise God.
The people that thought they were
going to ruin me did not know that they
would end up in announcing my destiny.
In the history of humanity, there had
never been any human being that had
instant fame like I did especially in a case
that was meant to end negatively. My
brother-in-law in London is even so
excited about the incident that he
promised to assist me make big money
out of this supposed mess. He had
already handed the matter to an agency
over there to trade mark “Oga at the
Top.” But I just asked him to forget it.
There is no need for that.
Many of my class mates are in top
positions in Nigeria currently, yet, they
said I did not go to school. I can
mention a lot of them here, including the
Attorney General in Lagos State, Ipaye.
But why should I do all that. All the same,
I give all the praises to God. It was not
the first interview I would be having
with them (Channels Tv). After that
interview we shook hands and I even
gave them my complimentary card. I
could see that they were not really
cheerful. If there was any effect, it was
on them and not me. It was the same
day I met with Governor Fashola of
Lagos State.
Theirs took place in the morning and I
met Governor Fashola later in the day.
Some people believed they were up to
something, but I did not know. I was
only being careful with words as a
security officer. We apply caution in all
that we say and do. It was a live
programme, the whole world was
watching us, so, I did not want to be too
free.
But like I said, I thank God for
everything. I blame nobody for anything;
I see everything as an act of God. They
believe they would use it to destroy my
destiny but God turned everything
around for me, for the better.
How did your family take the
development?
The day of the interview, 16th of March,
2013, was the day my father was buried.
It was as if it was designed to destablise
me on the day of the burial of my father,
but it was not so. It was three or four
days after that they apologised and said
it was not meant to embarrass me.
Channels felt bad because it backfired.
Anybody that wants to go for an
interview in Channels will be very
skeptical now and henceforth. I just felt
it was my time for divine announcement,
so I did not take it the way they thought
I would take it.
In fact, when I saw the T-shirt, I wanted
to buy one. Some had thought that my
transfer to Ibadan was a demotion, but
they are wrong. It is not. They also
claimed that my wife went to Channels
over the issue. The question I asked
was, to do what? She did not. The whole
thing has only turned around to be
God’s glory in my life.
What is your philosophy of life and how
did it apply in the case of “My Oga At The
Top” case?
My philosophy of life is to impact
positively on this generation. I want to
leave a legacy, a good and worthwhile
legacy behind that will not make my
family live or walk in fear when I am
gone. I want to sustain my good name;
and that is what I preach to my staff
every day.
I tell them to be open-minded; be
determined; do what you will do with
your best ability whether people are
there or not. Note that there are people
watching you and your work will speak
for you when you are not there. This is
what I always tell them.
What is the lesson to be learnt in your
“Oga At The Top” issue?
Everyone should identify a lesson out of
the whole saga.

In the cell block reserved for nursing
mothers and pregnant inmates at the
Kirikiri Female Prison, Lagos, toddlers
clung to their mothers’ chests. They
observed newsmen, when they visited
last week Saturday, with a bemused
expression on their young face.
They are in prison because their
mothers are inmates. Apparently, they
weren’t aware of a better life out there.
They probably thought it was normal to
be confined only to the four walls of the
prison. No friends, no birthday parties,
no relationship at all with other children
outside the prison walls. They are
victims of circumstances and will remain
so until they are 18 months old.
These children – nine of them – were
born within the walls of the prison. They
live a regimented life; one brought
about by the fact that in prison, rules are
meant to be obeyed. When to sleep,
when to eat, when to wake up, when to
switch off the light and when to put it
on are all regulated by prison authorities
and this is the life these children have
been born into.
The children are all below 18 months, so
they could not interact verbally with our
correspondent during the visit, which
was aimed at shedding light on their
lives.
“When the children are a year and half
old (18 months), the mothers have to let
them go. That is the regulation. Families
of the inmates take the children away
and take care of them till the mother
gets out,” spokesperson of the Nigerian
Prisons Service in Lagos, Mr. Biyi Jeje,
had explained to Saturday PUNCH.
When the gate to the main yard of the
prison swung open on the day our
correspondent visited, dozens of
inmates were seen doing their laundry
on the grassy open ground.
Chattering while some were laughing,
the inmates (the prison officials forbade
them being called prisoners) were
cheerful. An official of the prison told
Saturday PUNCH why.
“They have the opportunity of doing
their laundry once in a week. It is like a
social time for them. They are able to
wash their clothes and beddings and
interact more,” the officials said.
A prayer and counseling session was
ongoing in another part of the prison. A
dozen inmates in white prison-style
gown clapped and sang in a small hall,
thanking God for life and good health.
Our correspondent was ushered into
the cells of the nursing mothers.
A couple of them shared a small cell with
bunk beds and the others shared a
bigger one.
Twenty five-year-old Shade (not real
name) had her five-month-old baby boy
in her arms when our correspondent
entered the cell she shared with five
other nursing mothers. Prison officials
were also in tow.
It was not eating time, so newsmen
could not observe how the children
were fed.
“You can ask them any question so far
as it has nothing to do with why they
are here and you protect their identities.
We don’t want trouble from their
lawyers,” an official said.

PROPHESY FOR ARSENE WENGER
And the Lord said unto
Wenger,"Behold I have heard your
cry and indeed I have seen the
works of the Mancites, the
Manuzites, the Chelshites and the
Tottentites. I have seen how the
Mancites have put their trust in
filthy mammon. I will not permit
them for this season. I have also
seen how the Manuzites lean on
the arm of Moyes. I will pity them
for more seasons since their
father, Alex Ferguson obeyed and
worshipped me!
However the sin of the Chelsites
and the Tottentites are beyond
pardon. The Chelsites have made
gods of their old prophet
Mourinho and have not allowed
my previous prophets to prosper.
But the Tottentites have vexed
memost of all. They have made
proudboasts of their skill and
their winger, Bale. They have
taunted their better rivals and
kicked themeven as they lay on
the floor. For verily verily I say
unto them Europa league is their
due.
Wenger my Economic prophet,
Fabregas had returned to the
land of his birth and Nasri had
moved on to the land of oil and
gold. And Robin the son of Van
Persie of the tribe of holland
moved to Old trafford, the
Promise land which I gave to
Manuzite
My son, Arsene Wenger For this
sin of not signing quality players,
I have instructed mighty angels to
seal up the goal post of all your
opponents on every pitch of play.
In vain will Walcott shoot, for
nought will Wilshere sprint. Your
midfield will wallow in confusion,
even as your defence swims in
goals.
When these things happen,
Arsene be aware and know that
signing quality players is the
source of your success, but also
endeavour to buy Rooney, Gotze
Lewandoski and Bale.
If you do this before the closure
of transfer window, the drought
of trophies that has assailed you
will end.
I have spoken"!
