Welcome on board sister......

Are they threatening or they are saying they have already blown up some more:

NDA blows up another pipeline as FG considers action against militants


[b]The Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, which vowed on Monday to continue to obstruct all avenues by President Muhammadu Buhari to export crude oil because of his refusal to address its demands, blew up the Qua Iboe 48-inch oil crude oil export line belonging to Exxon Mobil in Akwa Ibom State in defiance of him.

Que Iboe returned to operation after a month long force majeure in June, buoyed by the now aborted ceasefire between the Niger Delta Avengers and government, but the militant group, which claimed responsibility for the attack, wondered why the International Oil Companies deceive themselves with government’s false sense of security. Spokesperson of the group, self-styled Gen.

Murdoch Agbinibo, said: “At 7:30p.m., the Niger Delta Avengers blew up ExxonMobil Qua Iboe 483 crude oil export pipeline. When will these International Oil companies learn to listen, we (Avengers) said no export.” Qua Iboe which crude oil grade stood at a $0.90 per barrel premium had witnessed strong trade interest since the release of its provisional August programme on June 27. Same day, Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, shut down the Trans Niger Pipeline, one of the two major pipelines that carries the Bonny Light crude grade for export following an outflow in Gio, Ogoni land, Rivers State.

The company had only last week resumed export on the pipeline after almost two months of force majeure, following the restoration of production to Bonny Terminal. Officials said the company was working on a joint investigation into the leak on Trans Niger Pipeline. However, the militant group, which said it was closely monitoring repairs on damaged pipelines, attacked the Nembe 1, 2 and 3 Tedeba Brass trunk lines in Bayelsa and Rivers states on June 8, after the company carried out repairs on leaking Nembe Creek Trunk Line, NCTL.

It also bombed the Forcados 48-inch Crude Export Terminal in Delta State afresh, last month, because Shell flouted its order not to carry out repairs of any sort on its installations damaged by the militant group until government addressed its demands. Series of deliberate attacks on facilities of Chevron Nigeria Limited and Nigeria Agip Oil Company, by the militant group to stall export had also hampered oil production by the companies.

It was gathered that the gain of the temporal ceasefire by militants, which saw an increase in oil export, has disappeared with the recent attacks. The militant group, it will be recalled had said: “Until President Buhari takes our demands seriously and set up a genuine framework to address the Niger Delta question, we will continue to obstruct all avenues to export our crude oil to develop his 97 per cent (95 per cent).

In fact, whenever we have any contact to establish a genuine negotiation and dialogue, we will not hesitate to let the world know that we are in dialogue with the government and her representatives.”

The armed forces are reportedly considering the next line of attack against the Avengers. The Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen Tukur Burutai, and other security chiefs are not disposed to dialogue with militants. They are supposedly mobilizing for a combined fresh offensive by all the relevant security agencies.

I was just listening to this pastor on Channels TV preaching about Finance, he practically told his members not to borrow other members money when they are in need. He went on to say if you must help, let there be documents in a way of agreement in order to be able to retrieve the fund.

Now in a non-christian setting that should be the ideal thing, but what about cheerful giving that the bible teaches?

This same pastors hate poor people so much that they can say this kind of thing, but they encourage members to pay for construction of church, pay first fruts, tithes etc without any evidence of getting the money back.

Is this not broad day light robbery and deception?

How can a pastor collect enough from members and buy private jets and become billionaire, and this man have the guts to say members should not help each other.

soulpeppersoup:
Deut 14:22-29
Tithe was change to money.

Sorry am not a pastor. Let assume am a pastor, is nairaland my church to hoodwink your suppose people who pays me tithe?

Are all Levi high priest? No! They stand in for the high priest in their region. Read my post again, your pastor receive your tithe for Jesus.

Jesus never received tithe because he was not a priest on earth. As a high priest in heaven, he receive both our tithe and our offering.

Your believe is in your action. If you really believe your Jesus is alive, you will always present your tithe and offering to him. But if yours is dead, while waste your money?

Your free to secure your treasure either on earth or in heaven. The choice is yours.

You better go and look for a better job than gambling with God's name. I bet u survive on tithe.....

vizkiz:

1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an
argument when she knows she is right and you need to

3) Go Ahead: this is a dare, not permission, don’t do it. Abort I repeat Abort.

4) Whatever: A women’s way of saying screw you. I guess all guys are used to this already

5) That’s Ok: She is thinking long and hard on how and when you will pay for your mistake. Bro you are in trouble

6) Wow: This is not a compliment; she’s amazed that
one person could be so stupid. They mostly do this and don't reply the next message till probably 4 hours time

7) Awwwwww: They usually do this when you say something sweet. Translation be fooling yourself mumu. And you will be saying in your mind (chai...this babe is feeling)

8.) KK: Bro when a lady replies you with this on a chat, just forget it i mean forget it you are gone

9) Hian: What does this even mean. Nitori olorun

10) Ishhh: Seriously where did this even come from? Who created this.

Ladies please help out

You screwed up with your font size, and why should i care about "words women use" ? do those words bring money?

KingEbukaNaija:
The source is naija church news so its not credible - the story is more likely a canard .

And the story could be made up to defame the church . We should be aware of such calumnies

Ironically your monicker has "naija" on it, that naija word smells foul.

The best title for this post is: "8 things false Christians believe" QED.

Shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration will not hide anything from Nigerians in its resolute commitment to restore the economic fortunes of the country and deliver prosperity to Nigerians, it reveals yet again a surprising profile on Nigeria’s no.1 online forum nairaland.com which the presidency uses in mingling with Nigerians on the online platform.

The Presidency has been very vocal and maintaining a two way communication channel through major social networks such as twitter and facebook, and to a large extent it has been very effective as most press statements and Aso Rock activities are communicated through these channels.

Nairaland.com is Nigeria’s premier online forum where most Nigerians discus topical issues on almost all subjects. By joining the forum, the Presidency has made good it’s promise never to hide anything from Nigerians.

The link below is Presidency's profile on nairaland:
https://www.nairaland.com/Presidency

Typical of the false prophet, after shamely committing spiritual formication with powers that be, they will go on to prophesy prosperity to their gullible followers, that is why the bible says that when they shout blessing and prosperity, a sudden destruction comes upon them.

I still don't understand why this story is not properly credited.

Following the voluntary resignation of the management board of Sky Bank Plc, Adetokunbo Mukhail ABIRU has emerged as the new Managing Director/CEO of the bank.

Also appointed is Alhaji Muhammad K. Ahmad, OON who will serve as the Chairman of the board.

The former leadership of the Bank voluntarily resigned their positions in order to pave the way for a new team to further the new strategic direction of the Bank in the retail and commercial business space, having laid the foundations and set the necessary processes and structures.

In this wise, the challenge of accelerating growth in the new strategic direction becomes more urgent and compelling, given the poor performance that we recorded in the 2015 financial year end, and the attendant challenges.

The Executive Management of the Bank also take the opportunity to most sincerely thank the former Board led by Dr. Olatunde Ayeni, and the former Management team led by Mr. Timothy Oguntayo for their service, sacrifice and dedication to this institution. As they take their leave, we wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

Muhammad K. Ahmad, OON, has about 35 years distinguished experience leading and working in various public sector organizations and financial services institutions in Nigeria.

He was the pioneer Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the National Pension Commission and oversaw the establishment and growth of the Pension industry in Nigeria with over ₦5 trillion in assets to become a major contributor to Nigeria’s GDP. He is currently the Chairman of the Interim Management Board, International Energy Assurance and is the founder of Jewel Development Foundation, a graduate assistant platform; and Certium Consulting, a strategy advisory and business applications company.

A pioneer staff of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), he rose to become Director/Head of Department and a member of the Interim Management Board. Mr. Ahmad has served on the boards of various corporate and not-for-profit organisations as well as Presidential Committees.

Ahmad Chairs the Technical Committee that produced the North East Transformation Strategy (NESTS), a medium term Regional Development Strategy, for the sustainable socio-economic transformation and reconstruction of the Region and currently supervises its implementation. Alhaji Ahmad is also a member of the Presidential Committee for the North East Intervention (PCNI).

Prior to his appointment, he was a Director on the Board of FBN Holdings PLC, where he brought his rich experience in the financial services industry to bear on the institution. He strongly promotes building institutions based on the highest corporate governance and ethical standards and would bring his extensive experience to bear on his role on the board of Skye Bank PLC as Chairman.

He has a Masters Diploma in Innovation and Strategy from University of Oxford and has also attended courses and programmes in various first-rate business and management schools, including Harvard Business School, IMD and INSEAD. A co-author of the book, “The Extent and Effectiveness of Bank Supervision in Nigeria”, Ahmad is married with children.

Mr Adetokunbo Mukhail Abiru (Tokunbo), is an alumnus of Harvard Business School (Advanced Management Program) and Lagos Business School (Senior Management Program). He holds a B.Sc (Economics) from Lagos State University and is a Fellow of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and an Honorary Senior Member of The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN). Tokunbo has had a distinguished career in banking spanning about 26 years, of which his early ten (10) years were spent in the formative years of Guaranty Trust Bank 3 Plc.

Thereafter, he spent about Fourteen (14) years with the premier and most valuable banking brand in Nigeria, First Bank of Nigeria Limited, where he functioned as Executive Director, Corporate Banking between 2013 and 2016.

Equally during his banking career, he was at various times between 2013-16 a Non – Executive Director in the following companies: Airtel Mobile Networks Limited; FBN Capital Limited (now FBN Merchant Bank Limited); and FBN Bank Sierra Leone Limited.

The Federal Government is set to start consultations with beneficiaries and other stakeholders on the restructuring and refocusing of the multi-billion Naira Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YouWin) programme with the objective of injecting new ideas for its sustainability.

The Federal Ministry of Finance, which has been running the programme from inception, has scheduled the consultation for July 22, 2016 in Abuja, where representatives of the beneficiaries drawn from the six-geo-political zones and other stakeholders would chart a way forward for the programme.

Read also: OPINION: FG SHOULD BRING BACK THE YOUWIN PROGRAM

Under the programme which took off in 2011, a total of 18, 000 young entrepreneurs have been trained in various aspects of Small and Medium Enterprises management and business skills; and 3, 900 of them, including 1, 200 women, were each given non-repayable take-off grants for businesses of their choice ranging from N1 million up to a maximum of N10 million.

The third edition of the programme, which is still running with 1,500 beneficiaries, has received the sum of N11.2 billion in funding, and so far grants totaling N7.4 billion have been disbursed to the awardees. In June 2016 alone, the sum of N1.687 billion was paid to 638 awardees.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, said that as part of the change agenda of the current administration, the YouWin programme has to be restructured to ensure efficiency, transparency and accountability in investing the capital grants given to the beneficiaries by the Federal Government.

Mrs Adeosun confirmed that all FG commitments under the YouWIN programme will be fully met, but due diligence would be carried out on every beneficiary, using tools like the Bank Verification Number (BVN), and before disbursements.

Bank of Industry – The Youth Entrepreneurship Support (YES) programme is an ambitious programme by the Bank of Industry (BOI) aimed at addressing youth unemployment in Nigeria which is currently over 50%. According to a 2013 survey by the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research (NISER), most of the capacity building programmes aimed at addressing youth unemployment, have concentrated more on training without any tie-in to the provision of small business loans, which is a critical success factor to the establishment of small businesses.

Hi, glad I meet a JW online for the first time. Wish I can connect you with in some other means
