President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday launched the 260-kilometre Calabar-Kastina-Ala Super Highway road project at Obung, Cross River.

The President expressed the hope that the road would create a new vista of business opportunities for Cross River and the nation at large while launching the project.

Buhari commended Governor Ben Ayade for his vision and foresight in conceptualising the project.

“So, I must at this juncture commend the state governor, Sen. Ben Ayade and his team for their foresight in conceptualising this project.

“Given the multiplier effect these two laudable projects are expected to generate, in terms of aggregate spinoffs, I want to assure you of my determination and as well as the commitment of the Federal Government to ensuring that this road and indeed the seaport runs to a quick completion.

“Let me commend our young Governor, Professor Ben Ayade who globe-trotted to get these core foreign investors to invest in these huge projects.”

According to the president, the road which will link south-south and northern parts of the country, when completed, will also ensure a reduction in travel time and man-hour.

He said that the project was a significant milestone in the economic transformation agenda of the state.

Buhari, who was forced to abandon his official Chopper and embarked on road journey to the venue of the event due to heavy rain, pledged to be back in due course for the inauguration of the project.

“I feel the warmth of your embrace and the passion in your gaze.

“The future of Cross River State is certain.

“I am one with you on this. I promise to come back to commission (inaugurate) this road upon completion and that is very soon too.’’

In his remarks, Ayade said apart from the road project, the state would also be constructing a deep sea port in Bakassi.

According to him, the two projects will be executed through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) .

He said the idea behind the projects rooted back to when the state lost its oil wells to Akwa Ibom upon the loss of Bakassi.

“The theological kinetics of this road started with the loss of our oil wells consequent upon the loss of Bakassi, therefore the state was reduced to wants in body and spirit.

“It became imperative that we reconstruct a new means of production; we need to open the horizon to get teeming young people employed.

“It is against such background as I sought to leave this state it became very clear and evident that we must construct new means of production.

“Within the limit of our resources, the projects would have been impossible but because we know that you are the President of all, we know that once we dream, it is his duty to make the dream a reality that is why we dreamt that we need to construct a deep seaport.

“As soon as I sent a letter to you on the Bakassi seaport, it took less than one day in your office and it was minuted out.”

On the 260km super highway, Ayade stated that it would serve as an evacuation corridor from the seaport.

“It will have a track of 14metres and a key wall of 680 metres that will allow for vessels from outside and every other vessel to berth.

“It will, therefore, provide an evacuation corridor for vessels, material and equipment lying in Calabar uniformly, effortlessly to Northern Nigeria.”

According to the governor, the existing federal road will require up to five to six hours to get to Benue State from Calabar but with the construction of this super highway, only one hour, 30 minutes will be spent.

“What is special about this super highway? It is that we have internet connectivity all through the highway, a photographic solar system with a satellite antenna.

“Mr president, it is also going to be the first to have anti-sleep bumps on the highway.

“It is also going to be the first to have speed cameras. It is also going to be the first to have ambulatory services.

“Mr President, this road is a digital road, designed for the 21st century.’’

The governor expressed optimism that the road would be completed in the next four to five years.

“We envisioned that this road will be done in the next four to five years.

“We also have people who have collaborated and partnered with us.

“ They include an Israeli-British firm, the broad spectrum that had provided 500 million euros.

“We also have Heritage, Skye and Zenith banks.

“We know that with the support Mr. President has given to us, the project will be a reality.’’

iliyande:
What does a secular church look like?

Would it be easy to find one?

If we find something in the church that is contrary to Scripture but is taught in the secular world, then that church has become--in part--secularized. The more we find from the world in the church, the more that church is secularized.

Following is a list of things that, in my opinion, are examples of secularization in the church. Of course, this list is not exhaustive nor is it authoritative. It is my opinion. Nevertheless, it is offered as food for thought.

1. Teaching that the Bible is not inspired and inerrant.

The Bible is the Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16) and is the measure of truth and righteousness. To claim that it is not inspired is to reduce it to the level of the Quran, or the Bhagavad-Gita, or the Book of Mormon which are mere man-made writings posing as inspired words from God.

When the authority of God's Word is lost, then man-made doctrines creep in. The authority and inspiration of Scripture is the anchor that keeps the church from drifting into error.

2. Using books instead of the Bible in Bible study.

It is okay to use books that assist in Bible study, but the Bible should be the central source of spiritual truth, not books about the Bible. If Bible studies are using guidebooks more than the Bible itself, then the Bible has been moved to a secondary position. If Christians are having trouble understanding God's Word, then the pastor (or Bible study leader) needs to teach them how to find its truths, so they can check all things in Scripture by themselves (Acts 17:11).

3. Teaching that there is more than one way to God besides Jesus.

In this world of relativism, it is not popular to claim that Jesus is the only way to be saved. But this is what the Bible says. John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me." Also, Acts 4:12, "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved." There is no other way to be saved. The Muslims, the Buddhists, the Taoists, etc., cannot be saved without Jesus.

4. Being embarrassed to say that Jesus is the only way to salvation.

Like the issue above, Jesus is the only way (John 14:6). Christians should never be ashamed (Rom. 1:16) to speak the truth of God's saving work in Christ. For some, to be timid and embarrassed means that one's eyes are off of God and on people.

5. Teaching that there is no absolute right and wrong.

As mentioned above, moral relativism is the norm of society. We often hear, "It is true if it is true for you." The Bible tells us that there are moral absolutes independent of what we think is right. Exodus 20:1-17 is a list of the ten commandments which are moral absolutes. The Bible teaches us there is absolute right and wrong. Without moral absolutes, no one can say anything is right or wrong.

6. Being careful to not offend anyone at the expense of Biblical truth.

Whether or not someone likes what the Bible says does not change the truth of the Bible. We should not be offensive just to be offensive, but we should not be afraid to speak the truth of God when the need arises. The gospel that offends no one is not the gospel of the Bible.

Is your church becoming secular? Are you? If either, start praying, repent of anything you believe or do that is contrary to Scripture. Start praying for your church and study God's Word. Let it be your guide.

U forgot to add the crave for worldy wealth e.g private jets and personal estates...as common in naija...No need to shy away from this fact

StealthIdeals:
I was recently employed in a farm as an assistant manager. I studied animal production and health. The manager studied political science. Since the resumption at the farm, I direct all activities ranging from feed formulation in the feedmill, animal treatments and handling, biosecurity measure, arable farming etc. The management hold meetings with me alone concerning farm reports, feed managements, sales and anything that concerns the farm's progress. They specifically hired me 'cause animal farming is my field. Note that I'm an expert in animal production and health, agronomy, and agricultural economics. So, I see myself as the manager, cause the only thing the manager does is withdrawing money in the banks to procure farm inputs as a result of decisions reached by me and the management. The manager is using official car, but I'm using nothing. I have no problem with him using the car, but I see it as an insult on my person. Should I protest?

Go get ur own farm...workin as an employee means being an employee u have to learn to take all d shit

@livebullet I don't know why wood is so expensive in the East. See ehn, let me give you an advice. Buy your wood in the West especially in Ibadan. Its way cheaper. Transport from Ibadan to East is like 30-35k. Labour is alot cheaper here too. The workmen can follow the truck delivering the wood.

You will save almost 100k with this approach.[/quot

U mean to transport wood frm ibadan to d east will cost jst 30k?

money121:
Getting the girl of your dreams does not necessarily have to depend on how much you have in your bank account. A girl who truly loves you and desire to be with you will be charmed, not by cash, but by some other great things you can offer.
Let us take a look at some of the things that can help you land the girl without putting yourself in debt.

1. Look the part: The first thing that would draw a girl’s eye to you is the way you look. You do not have to break the bank to look good, clean and well kept-together. If she sees how well you look, and she finds it appealing, then that is one step closer to getting her attention, and hopefully, her heart.

2. Dazzle with your personality: When all you’ve got is your personality, make sure you make it count. Do not be afraid to show off what you are made of. If you are funny, brilliant, or talented in other areas, let her experience this. Show her that she can have a good time with you and have a lot of other reasons to respect you without you having to resort to buying her expensive gifts.

3. Be inventive: When you do not have money to distract her, you can actually focus on inventive ways to spend time with her. The whole point of winning her heart is to make her love being with you, it does not matter where you are or how much you spend.
No doubt, having the big bucks is an easier way to get her interested, and not having this to your advantage could make things a little challenging. But, get creative, work for her attention, she will see your effort and reward them.

4. Make her feel special: Everyone loves to feel special, and that includes women. So, to make her keep thinking about you, let her know how beautiful and special you find out. Make her feel like the only girl in the world and let her have nothing but positive feelings when she is around you or talking to you.

5. Get to know her: Another way to her heart is to make sure you take your time to get to know your lady. No information is too small or too useless. Know what makes her thick and what drives her. Be her best friend and confidante. Let her share her successes with you and come to you when things are not so good.

6. Avoid insecurity: It is easy, when you are not so affluent, to focus on the things you do not have and some men often take it to another level by taking it out on the girl. Do not keep bringing up the fact that you are still struggling, do not let her see any sign of insecurity or jealousy.
