"If I had kids, my kids would hate me. They would have ended up
on the equivalent of the Oprah show talking about me; because
something in my life would have had to suffer and it would've
probably been them.
Gayle was the kind of kid who, in seventh grade home ec class,
was writing down her name and the names of her children. While
she was having those kind of daydreams, I was having
daydreams about how I could be Martin Luther King."
First African-American female billionaire, one of the richest women on
the planet, 59 years old Oprah Winfrey said this in a new interview
with The Hollywood Reporter.
Winfrey, at 14 gave birth to a baby who only lived for a number of
weeks.
Gayle is her best friend and is a mother of two.

Technically, the ASUU strike has come to an end as government has
finally done the needful...
The Federal Government and the leadership of ASUU led by its
President, Dr. Nasir Fagge, has signed the much talked about
Memoradum of Understanding on the restructured 2009 Agreement, on
Wednesday.
ASUU President, Dr. Fagge said the document signed would be
presented to the union to take an affirmative and positive stand on
the suspension of the 5 months old industrial action. He said with
the signing of the MOU the 5month old strike would come to an end
in approximately one week from now...
In the words of the ASUU President:
"This is the response to the letter we wrote to Mr. President and this
document would now be forwarded to our members and our members
would give us direction. We are hoping that we would be able to meet
with our members in less than a week.
"I don’t have the power to call off the industrial action, it is only our
members that can do that. And our members gave us a message to
give to the Federal Government which we have done and within one
week our members would meet. We already have the document which
shows that Government is committed”.
The ASUU President said the development and revitalization of
Nigeria’s education sector is for our benefit.
“It is never too late for the nation to turn a new leaf and do what is
right. Other countries that are smaller and less powerful than Nigeria
have done it and have succeeded. It is rather unfortunate that Nigeria
is not close to some of these smaller nations around us. It is now, we
must properly fund our universities, we have lost lot of capital to
nations like Ghana and Togo”, Fagge said.
He therefore assured Nigerians that ASUU would not take long in
ensuring that the right thing is done.

Veteran and award winning actor Olu Jacobs and wife Joke Silva have
been married for 27 years now.
While most men would insist their wives change their last names
immediately, Mr Jacobs, in this new interview with .Com
explained why he let his wife maintain her maiden name.
Since you got married, your wife has maintained her maiden
name. Why has she not adopted your own name?
She is her own individual. When I met her, she was an actress known
as Joke Silva so why should marrying me now deny her and her
audience her name. She is Miss Joke Silva who is Mrs. Joke Jacobs.
It is as simple as that. People now begin to say what they like. They
have even written that we are separated and all sort of stuffs. When
she is working, she is Joke Silva but she is Mrs. Joke Jacobs at
home.
Aside: Network in my area has been sooo poor since yesterday. I've
been on my laptop all day today but can't publish posts. Had to
switch from MTN to Airtel, still no major difference. Mbok, bear with
me.

Kora award winner and Ex Project Fame winner, Chidinma Ekile, tells ‘Nonye Ben-Nwankwo how she has been able to manage the recent controversies surrounding her

You won Kora Awards last year and this year again, you were nominated for an international award, Channel O Awards. Did you ever imagine that you would get to this stage?

No way. I never imagined it in any way. All I did was just to be focused. I knew this was what I loved doing and I decided to just keep doing it. I didn’t expect that it would get this big. Sometimes I sit back and I think back of how it started.

But did the awards have any impact on your career?

Oh yes. When I won the Kora and got back to Nigeria, it was a whole different experience. People started treating me differently. They wondered how ‘small’ Chidinma could go to Cote D’ivoire and bring the Kora home. It added to my profile. Being nominated for the Channel O Award is a big deal for me even if I didn’t clinch the award.

How has it been since then?

It has been good and challenging. It has been a lot of work.

Did you go back to school?

Oh yes. I am managing my career and my studies. I don’t have a choice. I wake up every day and I realise I have a lot of things to do. This is really the best time to tidy up my education. This is my youth. I get busier by the day. It will get tougher. I have to do what I have to do before time gets tougher.

Are you not scared or intimidated competing with other bigger female artistes in the industry?

I have never been a competition person even though I am a product of a competition. But I didn’t see Project Fame as a competition. I was doing what I love doing. In the industry, I am not in any competition. I am just Chidinma. I have tried to carve a niche for myself. I try to be different all the time. I don’t like a situation where somebody will say ‘Chidinma sounds like this person or that person.’ When that comes, competition arises. I am not in for that. I just want to be me and I always try to improve. I want to be versatile. I don’t want to be put in a box. I am here to have fun and make money at the same time.

But you must look up to some of the female artistes…

Definitely. Most of the time I was preparing for the Project Fame competition, I listened to Omawumi a lot. I followed her right from the time she came out of West African Idols. I just loved her kind of music. It is African and she has lots of messages at the same time. I love Onyeka Onwenu as well. I can learn from any one. I am still able to talk and ask question. I am still their baby.

Do you owe Project Fame all you have achieved?

I owe it to Project Fame to a reasonable extent. I don’t think I would be here if not for Project Fame. I didn’t take music seriously. I felt it was something I could do during my leisure. I didn’t know it would become a profession.

If you hadn’t won, you wouldn’t have been bothered?

It wouldn’t have mattered. I didn’t even know I was going to win. I felt I was having fun and if I got money, it was okay. I didn’t want to be the winner. I didn’t want everybody’s eyes to be on me. But it happened and I didn’t have a choice. I decided to give it a trial. That is why I am here today.


You eventually came into the spotlight and it opened doors to controversies and scandals…

I have been in the news lately. My manager told me that I am a balloon on top of lots of needles. People want me to drop on those needles and get deflated. He told me to be careful. The first time was when my nude picture went viral. I actually went for a photo shoot for my friend. I wore a tube dress. Some mischief makers actually cropped off the lower part of the picture and posted it on the Internet. It was as if I was nude. I wasn’t happy at all. I had that picture. I had to post the real picture on the net and people now got convinced the nude picture wasn’t original. I thought that was the end, I didn’t know a bigger scandal was coming…


You mean the sex video?

Oh yes. I woke up one morning and I was greeted on the internet with ‘Chidinma and sex tape’. I was worried primarily because of my mother. I didn’t let her see the video but I had to show her the photos. I didn’t want to go out that day. I couldn’t go out. But my mum felt otherwise. She told me to ignore the mischief makers. I almost took some actions but I thought against it. I met Sound Sultan on a set. He told me, ‘Babe, you are now a star. I welcome you officially into the industry.’ I trended for three days. Even people who didn’t know me got to know me. My fan base grew. And then, I was happy because more than 90 per cent of the public didn’t believe I was the one in that video. There were people who didn’t need to see the video to believe I couldn’t have done such thing. I am just grateful to everyone who didn’t believe the story. My twitter account was hacked and the people created another account. They kept releasing nasty pictures and they were even responding to the tweets as if I was the one doing it. I was just watching and laughing. It put me in the spotlight. I used it for good.

But such scandal shouldn’t be good for your career…

Ever since I started, I have been scared of scandals. I didn’t want to have any. But I realised that I cannot run away from it. It is just normal. It is not everybody who is happy seeing me rise. Some people are trying to do something to stop me. But sex tape is not enough to stop me. They should bring up something else. The sex tape just took me to another level in my career. It moved me up. This is no more ‘little’ Chidinma. It didn’t bring me down in any way. I am still doing a lot of things.


One of the Skuki boys said he is in love with you and would want to marry you…

Oh yes. Everybody wants to marry me but I am not ready for marriage.

But the boy came out publicly and declared his love for you…

I laughed when I saw that story. I have not considered his request. I still have to make more money before I consider marriage. He is actually my friend and he never told me something like that. I have been linked with so many people. People cannot imagine me being a saint. They are just looking for something to attach to me.

How does it feel like being a star?
It is a lot of work. People see me and envy me and say ‘ohhh, she is now a star and she must be enjoying’. I am not enjoying. The more you are there, the more you do things. The expectation is now so high. Being a star is not so much fun because you have to do more work. You have to please people. You have to smile even when you are not in the mood. It is so frustrating. But then, you owe it to some people, you have put yourself out there. This is what I have signed for. Nobody begged me to do this.

“The values of freedom, respect for human rights and the principle of
holding periodic and genuine elections by universal suffrage are
essential elements of democracy. In turn, democracy provides the
natural environment for the protection and effective realization of
human rights. These values are embodied in the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights .” –UN.
Nigeria does not have a democracy. There is politics in Nigeria, in fact
too much of it, but no democracy. Having civilian rulers does not
make a democracy. And unlike the USA, where as Hilary Clinton said-
in-Nigeria, “our democracy is yet evolving,” Nigeria does not yet have
a democracy, so nothing is evolving.
Democracy is about the provision of, and protection of Human Rights.
It is not simply a process of putting papers in ballot boxes. The
conditions to test; questions to ask ourselves are: Are we lead or
ruled? Are any of those who rule us the people we would really choose
with our eyes open? Do those who rule us represent us and provide us
our basic rights? Do they lead us to where we need be, or do they
only rule over us for their gains? Are we able to remove them when
they fail?
And then, can we honestly say that the 80 million rural dwellers are
represented, know candidates and vote for candidates to lead them in
our current system, or these villagers do not count in the selection
but suffer the most from its consequences; these rural dwellers who
account for 80% of our 100 million destitute population. These
questions are essential conditions democracy fulfils; do we have
them?

Here is what President Olusegun Obasanjo said on Friday in his
tribute to the icon, Nelson Mandela:

"Certain that his task was completed, Mandela modestly refused
to seek re-election after his first term in office as his presidency
elapsed. I still recall his pragmatic words when he said to me
‘Olu, show me a [reasonable] place in the world where a man of
80 years is running the affairs of his country' .

"This, to me, reflects an unequaled sense of modesty for a man
who spent 27 of the prime years of his life in prison for a just
cause."

When will our leaders in Nigeria begin to exhibit such unequaled
sense of modesty?

We hope Governor Babatunde Fashola will not copy the part that a
President has to watch ASUU strike to go on for about five months
before stepping in and later he started issuing threats to the striking
lecturers?
The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has called
on Governor Fashola to learn from their Oga at the top, President
Goodluck Jonathan, especially in the area of development.
“Governance must be distinguished from partisan politics and we
salute President Jonathan for practising this. We hope Fashola
would learn such sincere governance from him.”
The party said this against the backdrop of the Federal Government’s
approval of a $200m loan sought by the Lagos State Government.
The party, in a statement by its publicity secretary, Taofik Gani, read
in part:
“In the opinion of the party, the Federal Government’s gestures to an
opposition state government has further confirmed that the
Jonathan-led PDP Government is indeed a government of
development with human face and with clear direction, contrary to the
impression being sponsored by the All Progressives Congress.
“Unlike Fashola and his council chairmen who are deliberately witch
hunting our few councillors by denying their wards developmental
projects, the PDP Federal Government has continually supported the
Lagos State Government to develop. This is how progressive
government is run."
The party also applauded the decision of the Federal Government to
approve $1.3bn for the commencement of construction of a deep
seaport at Lekki.
The PDP also claimed that many of the structures in La were laid by
the Federal Government.

These shocking revelations were sent to www..com by Dioru
Sidney. And he says, kindly find attached some revealing truth about
the Catholic Church. Please read this with an open mind:

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
SCRIPTURE LIST FOR VIDEO START ON PAGE 2 **

Scripture Versus Tradition. The Roman Catholic Church has always
been identified with Christianity because it upholds four fundamentals
of the Christian faith:• The deity of Christ
• The Triune God
• The virgin birth, and
• The bodily resurrection and return of Christ to the earth.
However, Catholic teaching opposes the doctrine that is most
essential to the Christian faith – the doctrine
of justification by faith alone. The Vatican not only denies this
doctrine, but also condemns anyone who believes it. Other Catholic
doctrines deny that Christ’s work of redemption is finished and that
His atonement is sufficient.

For this reason...
ROMAN CATHOLICISM MUST IDENTIFIED AS AN APOSTATE CHURCH
AND CATHOLICS NEED TO BE EVANGELIZED. In spite of this there are
some Catholics who do
not adhere to all the teachings of their church and have had a
genuine born-again experience. Still, with
over one billion Catholics in the world and a growing ecumenical
movement to unite all religions under
the power and influence of the pope, the truth about Roman
Catholicism must be told.

The Gospel of Grace Reveals: The Gospel of Roman Catholicism
Reveals:
Jesus Christ, His life, death and resurrection
(1 Corinthians 15:1-4)
A religious system of sacraments,
indulgences, purgatory, and prayers for the
dead (1032;1471-79, 1498)*
Salvation is….
Only through Christ (Acts 4:12)
A gift of God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8,9)
Attained by Christ (Romans 5:9)
At the moment a sinner believes the gospel
(Ephesians 1:13,14)
Secured by God (John 10:27)

Salvation is…
Through the Roman Catholic Church (846)
Merited by doing good works
(1815,1821,2010,2027)
By faith plus the law, sacraments, and good
works (1129,1131)
Attained by man (2010,2027)
A process from baptism through purgatory
(161-2,1254-55)
Never assured in this life (1036,2005)
Sins are expiated by Christ’s blood (Romans 3:25)
Sins are expiated by suffering in purgatory (1030-31)
Salvation glorifies God alone (Ephesians 1) Mary and all the saints
are also glorified (1476-77)
The work of salvation is finished (John 19:30)
This work continues with daily sacrifices (611,1405)
The Holy Bible scriptures * Catechism of the Catholic Church, San
Francisco, CA: Ignatius Press, 1994.
2. A Word About the Motivation of Catholics
It is important to realize that most of the clergy and lay people that
teach Roman Catholic
doctrine are not deceiving people with malicious intent. They are
simply passing on what has been passed
on to them, sincerely believing that they have the truth. Catholics
must believe all dogmas of their church
or be anathema (eternally cursed).
Prayer, love, compassion, and understanding are needed along with
the power of the Word of
God to penetrate their hearts. Patience is needed to untangle Roman
Catholics from the dogmatic web in
which they are held captive.
(Colossians 2:8 KJV) Beware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit, after the
tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
When witnessing to Roman Catholics, remember to:
1. Pray before, during, and after (Colossians 4:2-6).
2. Establish agreement on truth (John 14:6; 17:3.17).
3. Stay focused on the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
4. Establish the relationship between the Scripture and tradition
(Mark 7:7-13, Psalm 119, 2 Timothy 3:15,16).
5. Establish the relationship between the teachings of men and the
Word of God (Acts17:11, 1 John 2:27).
6. Persuade them to repent of their dead works and turn to Christ
alone in faith alone (Hebrews 6:1).
7. Make disciples of them by inviting them to a Scripture study
(Matthew 28:18-20).
Most of the information above was taken from a tract by, Mike
Grendon, a former devout Roman
Catholic for 37 years and a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary.
** Our Ministry View FROM THE VIDEO
“IS ROMAN CATHOLICISM CHRISTIANITY?”
We are often confronted with the following question and we have done
extensive research to
provide you with a fair and Biblical answer to the question. We realize
when we deal with such topics
there might be some who are offended by our views. As we near the
return of Christ we are compelled to
clearly and boldly point people to Jesus Christ and the Bible as the
only way of salvation and spiritual truth.
There are 945 million Roman Catholics in the world. We are
concerned about their souls.
THE SCRIPTURE TELLS US THAT IT IS A WISE PERSON WHO TRIES TO
WIN THE SOUL
OF HIS FELLOW MAN FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
(Proverbs 11:30 KJV) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he
that winneth souls is wise.
We reflect on this Scriptures as we sincerely strive to approach the
subject of Roman Catholicism.
If Catholics are saved by following the teachings and practices of the
Roman Catholic Church, we
should leave them alone. If that is not the outcome, we have an
obligation to witness to them for the sake
of their eternal soul.
The concern for souls should be our only reason for studying the
Roman Catholics; not to win
arguments or debates, but to give us knowledge to help deliver them
from deception.
3. We should always examine our attitudes and motives when we deal
with this subject or any other to make
sure that love for the soul dictates how we deal with those concerned.
(2 Timothy 2:23-26 KJV) But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes. {24} And the servant of the Lord
must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, {25}
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the
truth; {26} And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of
the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
The subject of Roman Catholicism is a volatile subject and no matter
how gently one deals with the issue,
you are guaranteed to make a few people mad. The following
statement made in 1917 accurately accesses
the situation.
"I am aware that, if I undertake to prove that Romanism is not
Christianity, I must expect to be called, 'bigoted, harsh, uncharitable.'
Nevertheless I am not daunted; for I believe that on a right
understanding of this subject depends the salvation of millions." (p.
288 THE FUNDAMENTALS Volume III, Reprinted 1993 by Baker
Books.)
The speaker was T. W. Medhurst, of Glasgow, Scotland. It was a true
statement in 1917 and also today. It
came from an article entitled, IS ROMANISM CHRISTIANITY? that
appeared in a four volume set of
books called, THE FUNDAMENTALS, a series of articles by ministers
that sought to address and defend
the basic Christian truths that are the most precious to us.
At that time in history they saw the demonic floodgate of liberalism
opened and were wise enough to know that the war for the truth of
the gospel was happening. This work was headed up by R. A. Torrey
and its purpose was to put into the hands of ministers and laymen
the information they needed to defend the gospel.
These men felt the need to 'draw a line in the sand' on the issue of
the Roman Catholics and let the world know that it was not
Christianity. In their day the Roman Catholics were considered by
some as another form of Christianity. Medhurst said:
One reason why Popery has of late gained so much power in Great
Britain and Ireland, and is gaining power still, is that many
Protestants look on it now as a form of true Christianity; and think
that, on that account, notwithstanding tenderly. (p. .288, THE
FUNDAMENTALS)
The problem that these men saw in 1917 has been compounded many
times over through the years up to
now. The shepherds of the flock of God have allowed Satan to kick the
sands of confusion of the clear
insight that these men shared with the body of Christ. More than ever
before people today accept the
Roman Catholics as another form of Christianity, and more than ever
before people who claim that
Catholicism is not Christianity are persecuted and ridiculed as hateful
and divisive.
The Bible says that everyone who lives for Jesus will be persecuted.
(2 Timothy 3:12 KJV) Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus
shall suffer persecution.
The Bible also says that this persecution will be a great blessing for
us.
(Matthew 5:10-12 KJV) Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. {11} Blessed
are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. {12} Rejoice, and be
exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted
they the prophets which were before you.
4. WHY ARE SO FEW CHRISTIANS PERSECUTED IN AMERICA TODAY?
The answer is simple: they are not witnessing for Jesus and standing
up for the truth of the gospel. We need to determine if the words of
Medhurst are true. Does the salvation of millions of souls depend on
us sharing the true gospel with our Roman Catholic friends? Was
John Wesley correct when he taught that no Roman Catholic could be
saved by believing what their church taught?
But I pity them much; having the same assurance, that Jesus is the
Christ, and that no Romanist can expect to be saved, according to the
terms of his covenant. (p. 220, Volume One, WESLEY'S WORKS, Baker
Book House.)
We need to pay close attention to Paul's words to the church in
Galatia.
(Galatians 1:6-9 KJV) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him
that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: {7}
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would
pervert the gospel of Christ. {8} But though we, or an angel from
heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed. {9} As we said before, so say
I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that
ye have received, let him be accursed.
IN THE PASSAGE ABOVE PAUL PLACES THOSE WHO PREACH
ANOTHER GOSPEL
UNDER THE CURSE OF GOD.
He repeats this fact twice to give it special emphasis. We should think
long and hard about what it means to be accursed by God. Some
comments on this passage from scholars will be helpful. J. B.
Lightfoot comments:
This word is used in the Old Testament of a person or thing set apart
and devoted to destruction, because hateful to God. Hence in a
spiritual application it denotes the state of one who is alienated from
god by sin. (J. B. Lightfoot's Commentary on the Epistles of St. Paul,
Hendrickson Publishers)
R. C. H. Lenski spoke about being accursed:
As the apostle and representative of Christ and the Father Paul
pronounces the verdict; 'Let him be anathema!' He repeats the verdict
of Jesus himself, uttered against the Pharisees in Matthew 23:13-39.
Anyone who promulgates a different and contrary gospel is eo ipso
"accursed", not because we say it so, but because Christ has said so,
we only repeating his judgement. (p. 41 The Interpretation of
Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, R. C. H. Lenski, Lutheran Book
Concern)
THIS PASSAGE AND THESE COMMENTS MAKE IT CLEAR THAT TO
PREACH ANOTHER GOSPEL IS TO BE TOTALLY CUT OFF FROM
CHRIST AND TO BE SET APART FOR TOTAL DESTRUCTION BY GOD.
WE NEED TO REALIZE HOW SERIOUS AND REAL THIS IS.
We now need to determine: Do the Roman Catholics preach a false
gospel? The Bible says that the true gospel is salvation by grace
through faith alone.
(Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: {9} Not of works, lest any
man should boast.
IT IS ONLY NECESSARY TO READ TWO SENTENCES FROM THE NEW
CATECHISM OF
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO DETERMINE THE TRUTH THAT THE
ROMAN CATHOLICS
TEACH A FALSE GOSPEL!
5. Justification is conferred in Baptism, the sacrament of faith. It
conforms us to the righteousness of god, who makes us inwardly just
by the power of his mercy. (p. 482, CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH, The Liturgical Press.
When the Catholic Church teaches that justification is conferred in
Baptism, they do so in direct opposition to the word of God, which
teaches that we are justified by grace through faith alone.
(Titus 3:7 KJV) That being justified by his grace, we should be made
heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Romans 3:24 KJV) Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus:
(Romans 5:1 KJV) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
(Romans 4:16 KJV) Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace;
to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only
which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham;
who is the father of us all, The Bible clearly teaches that human
words can play no part in our justification.
(Galatians 2:16 KJV) Knowing that a man is not justified by the
works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have
believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of
Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law
shall no flesh be justified.
(Romans 3:28 KJV) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by
faith without the deeds of the law.
(Romans 4:4-5 KJV) Now to him that worketh is the reward not
reckoned of grace, but of debt. {5} But to him that worketh not, but
believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for
righteousness.
The Catholic Church does teach the importance of faith for salvation,
but they say that faith alone is not enough for justification. The
Catholic position on justification could fairly be described as:
Justification = Faith + Works
The Bible states plainly that if you are trying to be saved by 'faith
plus works' the true gospel of justification by grace through faith
alone is cancelled out and made void.
(Romans 11:6 KJV) And if by grace, then is it no more of works:
otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no
more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
(Galatians 2:21 KJV) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if
righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
(Galatians 3:10-11 KJV) For as many as are of the works of the law
are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that
continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to
do them. {11} But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of
God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
(Galatians 5:4 KJV) Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever
of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
6. Not only does the Catholic teaching proclaim salvation and
justification by faith plus works but they also place those who teach
salvation by grace through faith alone under the papal anathema.
This word 'anathema' is the same word used in the Galatians 1:6-9
passage (previously quoted) in which the explanation of the word
meant to be 'cut off' or 'accursed'. The Roman Catholic Church says
because we teach justification by grace through faith in Jesus Christ
alone we are to be 'anathema'.
The Council of Trent made this clear:
If anyone says that the faith which justifies is nothing else but trust
in the divine mercy, which pardons sin because of Christ; or that it is
that trust alone by which we are justified: let him be anathema.
(quote from Council of Trent, p. 47, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ROME, Harvest House Publishers.)
FROM EVEN A VERY BRIEF STUDY OF THE ROMAN CATHOLICS WE
ARE FORCED TO
MAKE SOME SERIOUS CONCLUSIONS.
1. The Roman Catholics teach and preach a different gospel than the
true gospel of justification by grace
through faith alone.
2. Preaching a different gospel proves the Roman Catholic Church a
false religion, and not true
Christianity.
3. This places the Roman Catholic Church under the curse of God
according to Galatians 1:8-9, cuts them
off from Christ and places them under the judgment of God.
4. If Christians take the great commission seriously they will prepare
themselves by study and prayer to
share the gospel with our Roman Catholic friends.

We hope this has informed you of some very important issues
concerning the differences between the
Roman Catholic Church and true Christianity.

President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience Jonathan, have
both checked in at a hospital in Germany as a result of a yet to be
disclosed ailment.
On Tuesday night, President Jonathan had abruptly flown out of
Abuja ostensibly to attend a Summit on peace and security in Africa
organized by French government. Several ministers and service chiefs
accompanied him to the airport for the late night flight, but only a
handful of officials travelled on the actual flight.
A reliable source at the Presidency told Sahara Reporters that,
contrary to the impression created that the trip was for the French-
sponsored security summit, Jonathan and his wife are undergoing
tests and receiving treatment in the same German hospital where
Patience spent several months last year.
According to Sahara Reporters, the source added that Mr President
had been feeling unwell since returning from a recent trip to London
where he was hospitalized for a serious stomach-related ailment.
Sahara Reporters had disclosed that the president fell seriously ill
after a bout of bingeing on alcohol.

But the Presidency had denied that report before now.

The source revealed that plans were made for President Jonathan to
receive medical attention in Germany after he suddenly fell ill last
weekend in his home-state of Bayelsa during a visit there.

The
president’s sudden illness almost led to his emergency evacuation to
Germany, the Presidency source said.

www..com stated that Mr. Jonathan has had recurring
abdominal troubles in recent weeks.

Many people, especially Catholics in Nigeria have been reacting to the
statements credited to the maverick and controversial Pastor of
House Hold of God, Chris Okotie, that Catholics will go to "Hell Fire"
due to their way of worship, which he claimed is not in accordance
with what the Bible teaches the Christians.
