How are we sure you never catch the virus? You are already contradicting yourself on your own thread.
Hahaha

Why are none of the Nigeria pastors not inviting the Italian man for special Coronavirus deliverance?
Are they afraid of the virus even though they claimed they are surrounded by holy spirit
Nobody is talking about Nigerian Pastors here. or are you confused in your heart, and you ask - why must it be Prophet TB Joshua and not any other pastors'. I'll advice maybe you should ask GOD.
1 Corinthians 2:16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM?
Why waiting for rain when you could have prayed for the virus to stop ..
Or?
PROPHECY CONFIRMATION - SHOWERS OF RAIN ARE FALLING! After Prophet TB Joshua’s prophetic declaration on Saturday 29th February 2020 about showers of rain falling to wipe away all fears of the unknown, we have continued to receive reports of unusual showers of rain falling in nations all over the world. Right now, it is raining in Paris, France - one of the European countries hardest hit by the fear of coronavirus - and it is forecast by weather experts to rain across the entire country in the coming hours, which is an unusual occurrence in March! Since Prophet TB Joshua’s word of prophecy, more than two to three weeks worth of rain has fallen in the nation of France in a matter of days. Remember, whether you come in contact with the rain or not, it does not matter. Rejoice for these showers of rain are wiping away all fears of the unknown - eg. Coronavirus! https://m.facebook.com/tbjministries/?refid
TB Joshua Prophecy (March-05-2020) RAIN IS FALLING TO WIPE AWAY CORONAVIRUS!
On Saturday 29th February 2020, Prophet TB Joshua declared showers of rain would fall worldwide to 'wipe away all fear of the unknown'. In the days that followed, rain fell in cities around the world - including in Wuhan, China - the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak.
During The SCOAN Living Water Service on Monday 2nd March 2020, Prophet TB Joshua declared rain would continue to fall 'til the end of the week to wipe away the deadly virus - to the glory of God. As he is subsequently ministering God's Word to people, a young man suddenly falls under the influence of the Holy Spirit and vomits four strange stones. His subsequent confession is simply shocking...

Recall that in the early month February, news about a deadly incurable disease known as Coronavirus went viral across the globe. So far about thirty countries have reportedly been affected by the deadly disease.
So far, there has been no scientific cure for the virus but there has been public education on how the virus is transmitted and most countries across the globe are taking the necessary precautions which include thoroughly scanning people who enter the country and also wearing of nose masks and gloves.
A Borno State-based cleric and Director General, Centre for Justice on Religion and Ethnicity in Nigeria, Rev. Kallamu Musa-Dikwa, has said three governors from the North started Boko Haram in Nigeria shortly after return of democracy to the country in 1999.
Musa-Dikwa claimed to have sent messages to personalities and media organisations in Nigeria, informing them of a clandestine plan going on in the region to build and unleash the militants on the country.
“The creation of Boko Haram started in 2000. I sent some messages and statements to some people and media organisations then. When Olusegun Obasanjo became the President of Nigeria in 1999, he appointed service chiefs – all from the North Central zone – Benue, Plateau, Kogi and Kwara states. Incidentally, all of them were Christians. The development prompted three northern governors to come up with the idea of creating and raising Islamic militants to fight for Islam because they felt Obasanjo did not appoint their own (what they described as pure Hausa/Fulani northerners as service chiefs). From there, they created Islamic militants. Those governors contributed N100m each to buy working equipment, uniforms and so on for the militants. Immediately, Nigeria started experiencing religious crisis.
“After they contributed the money, those organised Islamic militants started religious crisis in Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara, saying they wanted Sharia. The aim was to intimidate and oppress the Christians. They started attacking churches and killing people. Any time elections took place and they did not favour them, they would burn churches and attack their members. They never went to offices of political parties or the Independent National Electoral Commission office to carry out their attacks.
“On February 18, 2006 in Maiduguri, those boys came out and said they wanted Sharia law and that a governor in the state then did not cooperate with them. And because of a cartoon that was designed in Denmark in 2006, they protested and burnt down 66 churches in the state and killed many Christian men, women and children. After that, they started moving from house to house, church to church, yet nobody talked – we were the only ones talking or raising the alarm about what was happening”, the clergyman is quoted by the PUNCH on Sunday.
He added that in July 2009, the insurgents “burnt down 27 churches and killed many Christians. At that time, they did not touch any Muslim man or woman. They only killed security agents and Christians.
“From 2009 till 2014, they were attacking churches – going from house to house, slaughtering Christians. They started attacking people, including Muslims in 2014 when they felt their leaders had deceived them by not backing them to fight ‘infidels’ in the North. Four of our reverends were slaughtered in 2009.”
When the newspaper asked him if he had evidence to back up his claims, the man responded: “We have over 20 VCDs recorded by Islamic scholars and they said if a northerner did not get to power, they were going to fight Christians in Nigeria. A scholar once preached and incited Muslim youths not to be civil if the President of Nigeria was not a Muslim. We have the videos – he preached in Hausa. He alleged that all the former Muslim Heads of State that died, including Umaru Yar’Adua, were killed by the infidels and therefore, they would not allow a non-Muslim to lead Nigeria.”
The National Economic Council (NEC) a body comprising operatives of the federal government and governments of the 36 states of the federation, Thursday ruled out the establishment of regional security outfits saying that it runs contrary to provisions of the 1999 Nigeria Constitution as amended.
Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi state, while fielding questions from State House Correspondents after the 102nd NEC meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, noted, however, the states are at liberty to make their security arrangements.
This is just as the Council said it is now set for the implementation of the controversial National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP) Programme, otherwise known as “RUGA”
Umahi who recognised security as “issue that affects the length and breadth of the country”, added that “we expect the issue should be on the front burner” .
He disclosed that the states had continued to brainstorm with the security agencies, among themselves and the federal government on this issue of security in various places in the country.
The clarification is coming against the backdrop of agitation for regional security outfits including the recent establishment of the “ Amotekun” in the southwest, “Shege Ka Fasa” in the North, “Ogbu N’igwe” in the South East, and similar moves in the North Central.
“When people continue to mention regional security, as chairman South East governors forum, I said there will be nothing like regional security but there can be something like regional cooperation, state cooperation.”
“Because, security is state-based. I watched the Lagos State governor said Amotekun law is state-based because when you talk of regional security, you are talking of something higher than state police.
“You are looking at one central command, one law, one office, and one command and there can’t be anything like that with the present constitution and every governor swore to uphold the tenets of the constitution.
“I think the governors are doing quite a lot, we have in our various states private security outfit be it in herdsmen, kidnappings and so on and so forth. I think the governors are rising to the challenges of insecurity in the country,” he said.
Umahi also revealed that the NEC is now set for the implementation of the controversial National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP) Programme.
The decision to commence implementation is the direct result of an extensive process involving engagements with stakeholders and a detailed analysis of opinions.
“After the initial decisions were made by the state governors, the focus of the initiative shifted to the implementation.
He noted that the outline of the established engagement process includes: “Letter of intent and counterpart funding, state livestock transformation office, and community engagements”.
He disclosed that NEC had completed a preliminary analysis of survey results, which includes data capturing analysis, such as analysis of enumerated data of five gazetted grazing reserves now in Adamawa state.
“We also have two gazetted reserves data obtained in Plateau and in Nasarawa, we have four gazetted reserves, so data is being collected and analysed.”
“We had prayers to Council, one of which was that Council should consider and approve that the three states should submit their detailed plans for the 80% funding of the total cost by the federal government, as stipulated in the National Livestock Transformation Plan and of course the states that are participating will have to pay 20% counterpart funding.
“The second prayer was that these states should commit 5% of funding to support the work of the secretariat, in line with the National Livestock Transformation Plan’s policy.

Let’s talk about national integration and cohesion in Nigeria. Our theory of evolution as a country appears fast degenerating and the thing is that we are no longer acting as a whole. If a Nigerian gives birth to a baby in America the child becomes an American citizen. But a Nigerian from the South, for instance, who resides all his life in the North will have a child that will not be allowed to benefit from the citizenship status of the host state. It is the same for a northerner who resides in the South. Why is this so?
This is a problem that was brought about by the level of educational disparity. The discrimination started from the more advanced part of Nigeria and then it came down to the less advanced part of the country. The South was the more advanced part of Nigeria. The issue now is that we have this disparity there. There is no doubt about it. So, those of them who are far ahead will not be prepared to come to terms with the level of those who are less advanced. It is a national problem; but I think it is only time that will solve the problem. The most important thing is that there should be real orientation on the part of government, federal and state, with the intension to eliminating these differences. But you the media people also can contribute by way of drawing the attention of those in authority to the programmes that exist so that they can make use of them and solve the problem; secondly, by alerting the general public on how to go about overcoming these problems. You can also help citizens when they encounter difficulties on where to go to solve the problem. It is a general problem that requires synergy of citizens and those in authority. The political leaders should also be made aware of these problems so that they too can in their own way do whatever they can to minimize the problem until they are able to eliminate them altogether.
The southerner is also likely to say the problem really is from the North.
That would be an unpatriotic thinking. You see the Whiteman came to the South and it took a long time for him to come to the North. When he came to the North, not through their fault he decided to adopt the indirect rule. If you take, for instance, university education, the 60 years of Nigeria under colonial rule we can only boast of the University College, Ibadan in the whole of Nigeria. That was the only university facility we had in the whole of Nigeria as tertiary education and to be admitted you must pass the prescribed examination. That did not help the other people to catch up. But after independence, today we are not yet 60 years and yet the number of universities we have in Nigeria are so many, public and private. So, you can see if you work for yourself you do better because you will put in efforts. But if somebody is doing it for you he wouldn’t put in more effort. So, it is a problem which time will solve because the number of people now is high. Perhaps a time will come when the South will produce one and the other will produce two. By that time we would have tried to eliminate the difference between the South and the North.
There appears to be in Nigeria today the absence of what some people would call the leadership recruitment process unlike in your days. That made the regions then to engage in a sort of competition, one region trying to undo the other in a competitive fashion. The system we have today has some limitations to the extent that it is like we have merely used the nearly 60 years of our independence to plan for where we are today with all signs of nepotism, religious bigotry, ethnicism manifesting in a negative way. Could the problem really be what some have said is the “unholy” marriage between the South and the North and given the name Nigeria by the British?
You see you can look at the problem from this perspective. The motion for independence in 1953 by Enahoro was actually moved by 1956. That was only three years interval to when we were supposed to get independence. If that had happened at that time almost 90 per cent of the senior civil servants would have either been foreigners or southerners. If that had been allowed to happen the time would have come when northerners would have felt they are being subjugated. That would not have augured well for the unity and peace of the country. If one section feels that they are being subjugated there is the tendency for such a section to agitate. That was when they realized that there was going to be a problem for Nigeria. So, they later on made a deliberate effort to get northerners into key positions in, first, northern Nigeria and later on took their own position in the national government that was equivalent to the ones occupied by southerners, maybe not entirely the same, but it was an effort that ensured that northerners were given positions at federal level and at the same time to run their government according to their capabilities. That was a problem that needed to be resolved because it couldn’t have been allowed to perpetuate. People don’t see it from that angle, but they ought to see it from that angle. It is not possible to have a nation where a section, half of the country is feeling that it is being subjugated by another half. That was what caused the delay so that efforts would be made so that gradually each side would be given a sense of belonging.
Could this idea of regional police now springing up not be a sort of vote of no confidence along the path you are painting because it appears some of the people in these regions have lost confidence in the federal system and …
(Cuts in) This question of insecurity is all over the country. This is why this initiative by the Southwest is seen as a kind of regional police. It is not the same like the ones we had at that time. If you allow one zone to have its own security outfit it would be a negation of the principles of the uniformity of police service so that the police are seen as a neutral body all over the country. I think the idea of having an establishment that will help in reducing the security challenges to help the police is better solved if we handle it holistically at the national level. I supported the initiative by the president when he set up a committee to advise the Federal Government on how to tackle the security problem all over the country. The committee is yet to submit its report. But I do not know whether this initiative by the Southwest is having this committee in mind or not. My concern and that of patriotic Nigerians is that when you do this you are sending signal to other regions to do their own. If this happens you will then have a situation where these regional setups will be controlled by the regional people. When this happens with the kind of political situation we have in the country today you cannot guarantee that recruitments into the various outfits would be based on merit. In that case where you have PDP in power, the recruitment will be limited to their supporters. The same thing will go for areas controlled by the APC. Ultimately, you will find out that you are helping political parties to develop a security establishment that is largely populated by their supporters or party thugs. It is not going to help the situation we find ourselves in this country. In fact, it would set up competition and it would also undermine the integrity of the country.
You have raised another point for which there is the need for another question in relation to the regional security outfits. Don’t you think that the establishment of these outfits is a vote of no confidence in the central policing system, especially when some parts of the country are against the composition of those in charge of these security arms?
You are looking at the issue with a kind of jaundiced mind. What you need to do is to look at the number of policemen in Nigeria. Are they enough to take care of the security challenges of this country? We should ask ourselves this question. The answer is no. But for how long have we been working with this number of policemen? It is said that we have 300,000 policemen. In my opinion if we find out this 300,000 is not enough why can’t we double it and make it 600,000. The money that people are going to waste in creating regional structures can be contributed to augment the national allocation for the sustenance of the national police service and, therefore, you will have more policemen in the country and have more policemen to tackle the problem more effectively. I will suggest that we do it at a national level. Let us increase the number of policemen and create a synergy between federal, state and local government police.
Let’s come to the issue of national integration and cohesion which is the main subject matter. How do we now reset Nigeria to achieve national integration and cohesion because truth be told, we have lost all to nepotism, ethnicity and religion?
Unfortunately, I do not believe that we can achieve a lot of success under the present situation because those in power today didn’t come to power with a defined programme. They do not care about the problem in the country. So, what we need to do is to try to find, through our political party system, where there will be a political party for Nigeria that will look at the problem of Nigeria holistically and introduce programmes that would address these problems. That party will then be able to promote national unity by way of implementing those programmes perceived to be helpful in promoting national integration in the country. The political parties we have in Nigeria today are not equipped to do such things.
I will ask you this question because it is like a practical consequence to what you have just said that those in power today do not have defined programme. Because it is like what we have today is one strong man, Buhari and not strong institutions that can resolve our problems in Nigeria. So, if I got you correctly it is like we have today in Nigeria passive leaders and not proactive ones. Would that be right?
Unfortunately, for Nigerians if this situation were to continue we will end up with one party state in Nigeria. This is the trend. See how bye-elections are conducted. You will find that if there is a bye-election no matter how strong the opposition is in such area the outcome will favour the weaker party. We have seen it. I think the problem is that of all of us in Nigeria. In fact, if there are Nigerians that can be exonerated they are the people of the Southeast and South-south; but the North and the Southwest are responsible for our problems today under this regime. I said it right from the beginning that Buhari is not competent and therefore cannot lead. There is a northerner who was my friend but because of what I told them about the incompetence of Buhari till today we are not on speaking terms. He is not a young man, but he is my junior who is above 80 years. He is an experienced person, but at that time there was this mentality that it is only Buhari that can solve the problems of Nigeria. The CPC, which was Buhari’s party was a regional party. It was not a national party. Then the ACN thought that by aligning with Buhari supporters it would be a short cut to accessing power to control four states in the Southwest and ultimately the country. They used that to get Osun State on their side and subsequently Ondo and the rest of them to support APC. Now, we are crying. It was our shortsightedness. People did not behave the way they are supposed to behaved when Buhari was looking for power.
In other words, the North and Southwest foisted on Nigerians the problems they are going through now.
Yes, they did. Look at the votes. It is not hearsay. It is a factual thing. Look at the votes.
You said Buhari is incompetent. How incompetent is he really because there are those who still believe in him as we speak and…
(Cuts in) I wouldn’t answer this question. Look, you will answer that question yourself or ask other Nigerians, not me.
Can we have your position on the latest row in Nigeria’s sit of power; the one between the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno.
Look, the problem between the Chief of Staff and the NSA is not a good omen for Nigeria. It exposes the complaints that I have been making about Buhari. I am being vindicated. There are people who have come to apologise to me for their hostility towards me because I did not support Buhari. And some of these people are even from the South. I saw it coming because I watched Buhari when he was military Head of State when he combined two powers; powers of the legislature and that of the executive. And for two years with all the powers at his control what did he achieve for Nigeria? My impression of him became confirmed when I read the interview of his ADC, Al-Mustapha Jokolo when he was giving the background to Buhari’s position when he became Head of State. Jokolo was his ADC. The interviewer asked him why Buhari didn’t perform within the two years he was in office. His answer was that it was because they asked Mahmoud Tukur and Mamman Daura to give them a blueprint and they waited for two years without the blueprint from the two people. I think we Nigerians should be patriotic this time around. We should be able to say the truth and stand by it. A whole country like Nigeria should not be governed by an individual just because people believe that he can do things. He cannot do miracle. Nobody can claim that NPN belonged to him alone. Nobody can also claim that PDP belongs to him alone. But what can you say of the APC? You see Nigeria’s problem started when Obasanjo under PDP crowned himself as the leader of the party and crowned the state governors as leaders of the party in their respective states. After that nobody can be anything in Nigeria except the person has the sympathy of the president or the governors. You cannot be even an Assistant Organising Secretary in the PDP if you are not enjoying the support of either the president or your governor. And this is what is happening today. PDP was not like that before Obasanjo came into the party. Obasanjo created that problem and now every governor sees himself as party leader. Have you not seen the PDP constitution? Up till today it is not in the APC constitution. But it is being practiced and implemented. It was not like that during the NPN era and it was not like that at the inception of the PDP until Obasanjo introduced it. You can go through history and see the truth of the matter. But we will remain like this until Nigerians particularly you media people come out and fight the situation so that we can change for the better.
What do you expect us to do in the circumstance?
We fight for a change. We should highlight the problem and file out for a change. I am too old. I am 94 years, but I will continue to fight. But without your support I cannot succeed. You can help me tell Nigerians that this system is bad. You can help me tell Nigerians that we need to change it. And you can help me tell Nigerians what type of change we need unlike the one they shouted change, change, change before Buhari came in. Nobody bothered to ask what kind of change. People are talking about restructuring. I am not against restructuring, but I want to know what it is all about. Let the protagonists come out with a blueprint. If they restructure Nigeria how would it look like? I know I am going. At 94 the best I can hope for myself is six more years. Even if I stay more than that maybe I will not be able to speak to you the way I am speaking to you now because age will catch up with me. I have been fighting for justice in Nigeria right from my youth days. I joined politics in Nigeria when I was 25 years old. I left my profession and joined politics. Till today that is what I am doing. Go to my bank account I don’t have up to N100,000 of my own, but I am happy. I have my children and I live comfortably well. But Nigerians must come and fight this thing and bring it to an end. Let all the political parties be changed into a people’s party. APC is now like an appendage of the CPC.
The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has taken over the Abuja residence and company of Buba Galadima, a former ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, over “debts to the tune of N900 million”.
Jude Nwauzor, the corporation’s corporate communications head, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
He said Galadima and Bedko Nigeria Limited, his company, owe AMCON nearly N900 million, obtained as loan during the first phase of Eligible Bank Assets purchase from Unity Bank Plc in 2011.
The spokesman said the order to take over the assets was granted by a federal high court in Abuja, with suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/1136/2019.
The properties taken over from Galadima in Abuja are located at 15, Addis Ababa crescent, Wuse zone 4, and 4, Bangui street, Wuse 2.
“The loan was purchased during the first phase of Eligible Bank Assets purchase from Unity Bank Plc in 2011. Since then, AMCON has offered the obligor a good measure of olive branches and explored all avenues to resolve the matter amicably, but the obligor, and his company, Bedko Nigeria Limited have remained recalcitrant and unwilling to repay the huge debt to the Corporation,” the statement read.
“The enforcement on the properties of Bedko Nigeria Limited and Alhaji Buba Galadima is one of the many others that would happen this year given the additional powers AMCON received from President Buhari late last year.
“Recall that aside the fact that the federal government set up the Inter-Agency Committee on the recovery of AMCON debt, President Buhari also signed the 2019 Amended AMCON Act into law. The amendment gives AMCON additional powers to go after all obligors of the Corporation no matter how highly placed in the society.”
Nwauzor said the corporation will take all necessary actions, which includes asset take over, liquidation, winding-up and garnishee proceedings against Galadima’s company and its directors in line with the court judgement and relevant sections of AMCON act as amended.
Galadima is one of the nine signatories who signed the merger agreement between some political parties to form the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
He fell out with Buhari shortly after the president assumed office and since then, he has hardly missed the opportunity to attack the president.
Galadima, who served as one of the spokespersons for the campaign of Atiku Abubakar, Buhari’s rival in the 2019 presidential election, accused the APC of rigging the election.
He had challenged Buhari to swear with the Quran that he knew nothing about the alleged rigging.
Galadima also served as a witness of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the presidential election tribunal, testifying against Buhari.

meavox: WHY PRESIDENCY SHOULD NOT RETURN TO SOUTH IN 2023
People of the South and MB.
NIGERIA IN ITS PRESENT ARRANGEMENT WILL NOT WORK! NIGERIA IN ITS PRESENT ARRANGEMENT WILL NEVER WORK.
Please people of South and MB, don't let us be distracted by nonsense of "Presidency in 2023" when RESTRUCTURING is the most important and urgent matter.
Nigeria's arrangement is a FRAUD that will never allow South and MB to progress. It is this fraud we urgently must scatter.
Goodluck was president. Obasanjo was president. Did Nigeria improve at all? So why are we talking about "Presidency in 2023"?
When Goodluck wanted to do a census, did they let him?
When we wanted National Conference see the trouble! Then did they let Goodluck implement it?
Fucken "Presidency in 2023"! It is RESTRUCTURING that counts.
Who owns the oil blocks? Is it the people of oil producing areas?
Who is building West Africa's biggest oil refinery in Lagos, is it someone from the oil producing areas?
Please let us not keep on being stupid and allow those who are not even indigenous to keep on setting agenda for us. Agenda that is never going to be good for us. Must we just keep on fleeing to Oyeebo because others keep on ruining our ancestral land? When will enough be enough?
Please my brethren of South and MB, freedom is smelling closer so now is to push all out for it. The only MINIMUM thing we will accept is: Resource Control, Borders Control, and Self-determination for every ethnic group. So that means either proper CONFEDERATION or proper SPLIT UP. Not any Fucken "Presidency in 2023"!
Please remind ourselves and our people of this. Let there not be another 60 rotten years of slavery for our children.
On point. Very upset whenever i hear or see some of our southern brethren jubilates because the so called born to rule region are considering to allow power go to the south in 2023. The ignorance is real and sickening
If you think El rufai said this because he want to be fair to the south,It means you don't know the mentality of the 'born to rule' region( The Parasitic region) They have no choice. But i don't know about the rest of the south. What we want in the south south & by extension the south east is absolute resources control, they can keep the presidency forever. You can't use the resources from my land to rehabilitate kill.ers and "bandits" and to develop your self imposed ravaged region while you contribute nothing but pain,poverty, illiteracy, deaths to this contraption called Nigeria.

State Profiles
In analyzing price movements under this section, note that the CPI is weighted by consumption expenditure patterns which differ across states. Accordingly, the weight assigned to a particular food or non-food item may differ from state to state making interstate comparisons of consumption basket inadvisable and potentially misleading.
All Items Inflation
In January 2020, all items inflation on year on year basis was highest in Sokoto (15.20%), Kebbi (14.37%) and Niger (14.23%), while Delta (9.95%), Benue (9.61%) and Kwara (9.49%) recorded the slowest rise in headline Year on Year inflation.

Annual inflation in Nigeria rose in January to its highest level in nearly two years, data released on Tuesday by the country's National Bureau of Statistics showed, as prices increased across all categories measured. Inflation stood at 12.13% in January, compared with 11.98% in December, marking the fifth straight month of increases. Nigeria closed parts of its borders in August to fight smuggling of rice and other goods, but economists say the move has driven inflation. In October, the head of customs confirmed that all trade in goods via land borders had been halted indefinitely. The consumer inflation rate in January was the highest since April 2018, when it stood at 12.48%. Inflation had dropped to its lowest in almost four years in August but has risen steadily in the wake of the border closures. A separate food price index showed inflation at 14.85% in January, compared with 14.67% in the previous month. "This rise in the food index was caused by increases in prices of bread and cereals, meat, oils and fats, potatoes, yam and other tubers and fish," the statistics office said in its report. The central bank has said it expects to keep monetary policy tight in 2020 to combat inflation and support the currency amidst slow growth. The bank, which has targeted single-digit inflation, held its main interest rate at 13.5% at its last meeting, in January.
KEVIND: What kind of comparison is this? Mbaka told us that Buhari is the Messiah Nigerians have been longing for.The Fulani herdsmen have killed & maimed so many people including rev Fathers,Mbaka kept quite. but when it comes to anything associated & benefit this evil in power.... Mbaka will suddenly find his voice. So from all indications are Nigerians life better now than what it was prior to 2015? Just wait and see what will happen. The Cherubs will descend soon and something big will happen that 'll baffle & surprise a lot. Nigerians will rejoice when this happens this year 2020
South-East leaders, comprising members of apex Igbo body, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, traditional and religious leaders, yesterday, called on the Federal Government to declare killer herdsmen terrorists and tinker with the constitution to allow digbo to establish a regional security outfit to be known as “Operation Ogbunigwe.”
The Igbo leaders made the call during a security summit, with the theme: “Strategic partnership for defective community policing in the South-East,” organised by the Nigeria Police in partnership with governors of the five states of the zone.
The event was attended by police hierarchy led by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu; Governors Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), David Umahi (Ebonyi), Willie Obiano (Anambra), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and the deputy governor of Imo State, Prof. Placid Njoku, who represented Governor Hope Uzodinma.
Also in attendance were a cross section of Igbo leaders, including Ohanaeze President General, Chief Nnia Nwodo; religious leaders and prominent traditional rulers.
Nwodo, who decried rising insecurity across the country, called on the Federal Government to allow the South-East to establish a security outfit to be named “Operation Ogbunigwe” to tackle the menace.
“Section 14 of the Constitution gives the governors as chief security officers, the power to provide security for their people. If the governors are not fully integrated in the processes of community policing, including recruitment of the special constables among other things, then it is dead on arrival. What our people want is to own our domestic security. There must be a way our law will allow us to have our own Ogbunigwe,” he said.
Also decrying a situation where no police commissioner of Igbo speaking state was posted to any state of the region and posting of one State Director of the Department of State Services (DSS) of Igbo extraction to one state in the zone, the Ohanaeze President General wondered how people with a different language, religion and culture can effectively police other people with opposing features.
He consequently called for dismantling of excessive and oppressive security check points within the region, saying that he personally counted 17 of such roadblocks along the Enugu-Onitsha expressway and they all serve as toll gates for financial extortion.
The Archbishop of Enugu Anglican Ecclesiastical Province, Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma, who spoke on behalf of other religious leaders, called on the Federal Government to declare killer herdsmen as terrorists.
“The Federal Government should declare Fulani herdsmen as terrorists. Our men and women don’t go to their farms any longer. Government should reduce the number of roadblocks in the South-East and reduce the number of policemen attached to politicians. Some politicians have 20 policemen, while we don’t have enough,” he said. However, governors of the South-East in their submission resolved to adopt the Community Policing Programme of the Nigerian Police Force to solve security challenges in the zone.
Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum and governor of Ebonyi State, Umahi, who stated the position of the governors at the summit, said they were satisfied with the Inspector-General of Police strategies for the implementation of the community policing programme in the zone.
Umahi, who noted that the governors had earlier had a closed door meeting with the police boss at Enugu Government House before coming to the Base Event Center, Enugu, venue of the summit, stated:
“We reached satisfactory and acceptable decisions and agreement. We can assure you that all the concerns of security challenges we have here in the South-East as presented here by the President of Ohanaeze, our religious leaders and of course our traditional fathers was not different from what was handed to us and we went through that with the IGP without letting you know the details. We assure you that all the challenges are being addressed.”
The governors noted that explanation and details provided to them by the IGP gave them the confidence to assure the people of the zone that community policing is not different from the neighbourhood watch, vigilante operation and forests guards as well as the herdsmen and farmers peace committees.
Umahi further said that the governors resolved as follows: “We decided as your governors to embrace the initiative of community policing, which is an official endorsement in line with the Police Act as part of what we are doing to safeguard the lives and property of our people. We commend the IGP so much, he is a man that is committed to professionalism. Even the roadblocks, we have discussed it and you will begin to see a lot of changes from today.
“Taking into cognisance the existing security initiative instituted by governors of the states in the South-East geo-political zone at the various local level such as vigilante group, the neighbourhood watch, forest guards among others which are in conformity with the community policing strategy, the state governors have accepted and adopted community policing as an effective tool in bringing policing to the grassroots.
“Community policing committees made up of traditional rulers, community leaders, town union leaders, religious leaders etc., within the locality will be charged with the responsibility of selecting and recruiting community policing officers that will work within the communities.
“The governors of states within the South-East geo-political zone are to reinforce and provide improved capacity for the police and other security agencies in their respective states in support of the community policing programme. This is as the states within the South-East zone will individually and periodically undertake operation against crimes and criminality in synergy with the police and other security agencies.
The Chairman of Enugu State Traditional Rulers Council, HRH Amb. Lawrence Agubuzu, who spoke on behalf of traditional rulers in the zone, said the royal fathers stand with the position of the governors.
The IGP had earlier stated that the community policing model being envisioned for Nigeria under the current dispensation is one that will draw on the legal opportunities provided by the Police Act for the engagement of special constables, who in this instance, will be engaged as community policing officers under the coordination of the Nigeria Police towards evolving a community-focused policing architecture.
His words: “Provisions for the establishment and utilization of Special Constables is provided for under Section 49 of the Police Act and they are appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 50(1) of the Police Act.
“In view of these provisions which approve them to serve particular purposes and which also confer upon them, the powers, privileges and immunities of police officer within their localities, special constables will be trained and used as Voluntary Community Police Officers to drive the Community Policing initiative at the grassroots level.
“This event is convened within the framework of our community policing initiative and as part of the strategies of the Nigeria Police to employ an all-inclusive strategy toward aiding us in the achievement of our internal security mandate, particularly in the South-East states.
The IGP said the summit was the sixth in the series and that all ended with very successful outcomes and the strategies jointly developed as well as partnerships built have so far been effective in addressing the security threats that are peculiar to each zone.
“Open my eyes to faith” prayed Gift, a 12-year-old girl, as she knelt at the Living Water section of The SCOAN Altar during today’s Living Water Service. Her eyes suddenly felt itchy so she instinctively poured some of the Living Water she had just collected onto her hand and rubbed it on her irritated eyes. Suddenly, she saw a puff of smoke, then a light so bright she began to shout drawing the attention of all around. “There is a man there! He’s wearing white! He says, ‘Repent! Jesus is coming soon! Bring more souls to the church.’… 24 elders are bowing down singing, ‘Holy, Holy is the Lamb’ Angels are all around. He is tall, His face is shining…’” After describing a tall man with long hair, wearing a crown and seated on a golden throne, Gift repeated the word ‘repent’ a number of times before gently falling to the ground. Awaking from the trance, Gift recounted her heavenly encounter, a scene she thought others were witnessing along with her. However, she found out that she was the only one who had seen the divine vision. All who were watching were captured by the spontaneous scene and touched by young Gift’s experience. This starkly reminded all listening of what is written clearly in God’s Word that Jesus will return soon and He came that we may repent and return to Him in Spirit and in truth. What a blessing to witness such an event out of the mouth of a child.
Set to complete. Hope to complete! Since 2015 this govt is still in a set and hope to complete mode.
Modified: It quite obvious some fellow don't know the meaning of the word hate.So because PDP looted in 16years, APC want to complete the destruction & looting where PDP. hmmmm. Where is the Change then?
The Nigeria Labour Congress has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to tackle insecurity, saying Nigerians are not safe anywhere in the country. NLC President Ayuba Wabba, at a press conference in Abuja yesterday, noted that recently and on a sustainable basis, Boko Haram insurgents had been hitting soft and military targets on a scale and regularity “that makes one wonder if the gains of the past have not been reversed or wiped out.”
“Nowhere are we safe in the current situation. Two days ago, a very close ally of mine was to take a taxi to the city centre, and in the taxi, he was actually abducted where they had a PoS machine, they collected his ATM card and in the same vehicle, they used the same machine to withdraw every money in his account.”
“So, clearly speaking, it is a very dangerous trend and therefore, the issue of insecurity needs to be addressed and all hands must be on deck,” Wabba said. He said while he would not “want to be in the politics” of whether the service chiefs should go or not, “what we demand is that the issue must be addressed. If in the process, they need to go, that is the decision that the president and commander-in-chief needs to take. But we want the issue to be brought to an end.”
Wabba also called for a downward review of the salaries of political office holders whom, he said, were being overpaid. He was reacting to the recent announcement of a plan by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission to review salaries of public office holders.
Last year October, a brand designer, Osuolale Farouq on Twitter displayed a new company Logo for the Innoson Group which got the attention of a good number of Nigerians who saw the logo as a masterpiece creation.
@TheonlyFarouq, where he revealed that the CEO had stated reasons why his logo doesn’t fit into the company’s vision and mission presently, but that it could be a thing for the future.
Update: Meeting with the Chairman
On the 30th of January, 2020. After a tour around @innosonvehicles‘ factory, which was eye-opening. I met with the Chairman, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, at his home in Nnewi, Anambra. The meeting started at a good pace. We talked, laughed.
The chairman commended me for a job well done on the logo. However, he mentioned that he won’t be using the logo now. He explained that this is because a rebrand is going to be a costly project for a manufacturing company like Innoson. Stating the factors, it’s“quite understandable why.
A rebrand will surely be of significant effect and can only be done if a specific target can be met *which is why the company needs every Nigerians’ support*. Not to leave out the fact that I was well-compensated, and he encouraged me to keep working,“doing what I do best – Branding.
I did show him the other designs (see some below) I made for the company, and he said the organization would have me aboard whenever a new project takes place. In all, I made new friends and got to understand how things work there too.
With this, I’ll implore every Nigerian to support them in any way they can; that way, we get to progress together, which will also boost our standard and economy as a nation. I also use this opportunity to thank God and appreciate every single person that made this moment possible for me. Without you guys, I wouldn’t have gotten here. I sincerely appreciate it.
Nigeria is in deep trouble because it is a fierce battleground of civilizations. The Yoruba would say ‘ìrònú ò papò’ – our thoughts are not the same; neither are our priorities. You watched Hon Alhassan Ado Garba Doguwa, Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, with his street-show last week. The 21st century lawmaker’s main leadership thrust was his super groin and its fertile fire. He made a show of his four wives and 27 children right in the chambers of the House and broke the Internet. He announced to his colleagues that his nest of four layers was brimming with many children and he was “still counting…” I feel like sending him a complete set of the Alawiye series – Yoruba books of timeless poems and stories – especially the one containing a poem on “omo beere, òsì beere…” He may not understand what the poet means by that title just as Tanko Yakasai agonized over what ‘Amotekun’ meant and why that Yoruba word. ‘Omo beere, òsì beere’ means “Lots of children, lots of misery.” To be in misery is to live in want. But the powerful man from the North will snigger at any thought of him lacking money because of the innumerable kids he is siring. The real meaning of misery is lack of peace, to be unwell. Where I come from, the people moved away from number to substance over 100 years ago. It was our great grandparents who spoke the way Doguwa bragged. They were the ones who numbered their years with the number of their wives and kids. Unfortunately, the value spot my great grandfather left over a century ago is where Doguwa stands. And we are supposed to be in the same country.

On the streets of Kano which Doguwa represents are millions of unsmiling children, possible products of uncontrolled breeding. We call them Almajirai. They wander from street to street in search of, not love, not hope; they are in search of leftovers. They grow up angry and hungry. They soon move to Lagos to ride okada and are soon dazed there with a ban from major streets. They respond loading their motorcycles into trucks back to the North. They get home broke and broken and become bandits. They link up with deviants across the border and form terror cells. And the borders up there have no doors while our immigration system lacks credible platforms to sieve the chaff off the grains. The world then looks at our country and freezes at what we offer: insecurity. The result is what President Donald Trump did to us on Friday – a visa ban.
