Father Lord,let this Nigerian drama end soon. Forgive our past leaders,heal our land and give us a better Nigeria. Lets keep praying 4 our country. So many Nigerians have dissappointed us, God's intervention is what we need.

AMEN oooooo

there is nothing like religion in God's mind but ur personal relationship with him.

as an embodiment of Christ my belief is the likeness of Christ.

debosky:
Proof of this claim please, not an idea cooked up in your head.

If the Imams did not visit him will the christian leaders make the visit?

capital NO

the content and fervent state of the prayer is lost.

If u want to pray for him, pray in ur closest

who be Chidi Opara?

where did he.she got the info from?

u will be charged for treason,

@ all

Get it straight,

The motive of his visit is to balance religious call, not to pray for him. at least lots of christian has been praying for him for the past 5 month.

physical presence those not tell if a prayer will be answer

for the bible says in James 5:16b "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much"

all one need is to be righteous and fervently pray, if it pleases God he will heal the Guy.

the reasons for his call is the religiouneering of visit to yaradua

I support the call to send back Hausa-Fulani back to their State

Dominoifet:
I weep for this fools who don't have understanding follow pope, follow pastor, follow Bishop, follow Imam, amen. Just like fela said.

Enjoy for heaven, amen.

Open your eyes everywhere, pope na enjoyment, imamu na gbaladun ehn hahahaha. Enjoy for heaven.

Heaven wey dem papa never go. Wey dem self will  never go.

Fools will still b saying, watch d way u talk about men of devils.

mind u am not saying that they are men of Devil,  am just trying to seperate their personal intents and national intents

the free state of United State makes it porous for people of his likes to come in and out. for US to be secure they should sheave.

talkmarkay:
I think we need to give respect to our religious leader in this country,
If You are a Christian, you need to respect your leader
If you are a Muslim You also need to respect your Leader
Let God Justify them by their acts
Also Muslims must respect Christians likewise the Christians must also respect Muslims

The Issue of Religious Leader Seen President and not Addressing it in Public is best known to them
Let look at the Security risk of the Nation entirely, nobody will like to be source of problem to his/her country.
Anything these leaders says may be counted against the security of the country,

So I believe that we should be praying for fast recovery of our ailing president.

Thank God we have the acting President ruling the nation.
So why can't be calm down and see the end result of this hullabaloo?

Not that we don't give them respect,

they dnt need to deceive us, going to to the villa to display their personal ego in detriment of their calling not to avail their personal interest to God's calling.

that what am against.

because i see their going to be personal not national

US 'approves killing' US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki
Anwar al-Awlaki
Anwar al-Awlaki's has said violence is a religious duty for Muslims

The US government has authorised operations to capture or kill the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, currently based in Yemen, reports say.

The cleric, who is a US citizen, is being targeted for his involvement in planning attacks on the US, officials told journalists.

Mr Awlaki was linked to the attempted bombing of an airliner bound for the US and a shooting on a US Army base.

The US has warned Yemen is becoming a safe haven for al-Qaeda.

The order was made by the Obama administration earlier this year, but it has just been revealed after a review of national security policy, the New York Times reported.

Further approval

"The danger Awlaki poses to this country is no longer confined to words, he's gotten involved in plots," unnamed officials told the newspaper.



Awlaki knows what he's done, and he knows he won't be met with handshakes and flowers

US official


Profile: Anwar al-Awlaki

Unnamed officials quoted by the Reuters news agency confirmed the story, saying that Mr Awlaki had been placed on a "US target list" of people it had authorised to kill or capture.

The list, maintained by the CIA, is thought to be of people the US government believes are planning terrorist attacks against the US.

Because Mr Awlaki is an American citizen, his addition had to be approved by the US National Security Council, the paper reported.

"Awlaki knows what he's done, and he knows he won't be met with handshakes and flowers. None of this should surprise anyone," the New York Times quoted the official as saying.

Failed state

Mr Awlaki was born in New Mexico, but is currently based in Yemen.

The Yemeni government, with support from the US and Saudi Arabia, has bombed suspected al-Qaeda hideouts in the last few months.

But some analysts have warned that Yemen may become a failed state because of the fragile hold the Yemeni government has on its own country.

Mr Awlaki was linked to an attack by a US Army major on the Fort Hood base last November, in which 13 people died.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a plane on its way into Detroit airport on Christmas Day 2009, allegedly met Mr Awlaki in Yemen weeks before boarding a US-bound plane in Lagos.

The cleric became popular among Islamic radicals for his firebrand preaching in English which endorsed the use of violence as a religious duty.

He lived and studied in the US where he was an imam in San Diego, where his sermons were attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers.

He fled the US in 2007 and went to Yemen.

debosky:
Can you imagine? So as a 'Pastor' he has no ability to decide what is private and what is public to him?  

What are you on about David? How is he helping anyone perpetrate fraud? He said he visited Yar'adua and refused to say more - what have the comments made by the others who allegedly visited him done?

You guys and emotional responses - he has done NOTHING wrong by refusing to divulge matters he regards as personal. He is not a government official, neither is he answerable to anyone if he paid Yar'adua a visit in a personal capacity.

As a Public/Religious Figure, there is nothing personal what so ever he do or does has an eagle eye who is watching.

and if he has to visit the ailing presido. it must not be at the instance to balance religious equation.

He has no personal life.

I think u r the only one affected or the section where u r in now.

A word is enough for the minister, 

because they were giving both appointment and sack letter to sign,,

any bleep up they will ve 2 go.

Yar’Adua : I owe public no explanation – Oyedepo
Cover Stories Apr 7, 2010

By Sam Eyoboka & Kolade Larewaju

ABEOKUTA – PRESIDENT of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo yesterday confirmed that he actually visited ailing President Umaru Yar’Adua at the Presidential Villa but declined to give details of the man’s state of health.

Bishop Oyedepo who spoke to reporters in Abeokuta, declined further comments on their visit to the ailing president merely saying “yes” when asked to confirm the reports in the newspapers.

Pressed to speak on the president’s health, he said “that is personal. I owe the public no explanation.”

Bishop Oyedepo

Oyedepo was one of the four Christian leaders who were led by the president of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Most Rev. John Onaiyekan, who visited President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua on Easter Monday to pray with him. Others included Rev. Emmanuel Kure and the erstwhile chaplain of Aso Rock Chapel, Prof. Yusuf Obaje.

Meanwhile, as over 140 million Nigerians await the verdict of the four Christian leaders on the state of health of President Yar’Adua, feelers reaching Vanguard showed that the team was hurriedly assembled to balance a political equation as Muslim clerics had earlier prayed with him.

According to informed sources, an earlier move to get credible Christian clerics to be part of the Easter Monday visit flopped when some of them were perceived not to be too keen on the visit.
The whole idea of the Easter prayers by Christian leaders was said to have emanated from a former two-term governor who believed he could contract eminent Christian leaders to pray for the ailing president, especially after a similar exercise by Muslim clerics.

The immediate family of the ailing president was said to have bought the idea and therefore asked one of the key officials to liaise with the former governor. It was at that point that the former governor was said to have called the National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor who was expected to reach others.

The proposal was for Oritsejafor to recruit the services of the CAN president, John Onaiyekan, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and one other cleric.

3 killed in fresh Jos mayhem
Cover Stories Apr 7, 2010

By Taye Obateru

JOS—THREE people were again killed in the Plateau State capital on Easter Monday following a fracas after an inter-denomination service organized by the Jos North Branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN.
Several others were injured and are now receiving treatment in various hospitals.

While a version said the three were shot dead by members of the special task force maintaining peace in the state, the task force denied this saying its members only went to the scene to disperse the crowd.

Plateau women protest in Jos after a recent attack

Vanguard gathered that trouble started around 5.30 p.m. after some of those who attended the service at the Rwang Pam Stadium held a procession along some streets and were stoned by some hoodlums around Nasarawa Gwom.
Several other residents spoke of being attacked by the hoodlums as they returned home
in Dogon Dutse and Dutse Uku areas.

A female student of the University of Jos said she and her little son were almost mobbed when they ran into the hoodlums around 6.00 p.m while returning from Abuja where they celebrated the Easter.

Confirming the fracas in a statement on Tuesday, Brigadier General Donald Oji, who signed for the commander of the Special Task Force, said although due approval was given for the inter-denominational service, it was on the understanding that there would be no procession outside the venue.

The statement said the hoodlums hijacked the procession to cause the fresh disturbance adding that members of the task force moved in promptly to restore normalcy. It stressed that those killed were not shot by members of the task force.

Meanwhile, acting Police Commissioner of the state, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba has lamented the rising wave of secret killings in the state warning that traditional rulers in whose domains such secret killings take place would be held responsible henceforth.

Speaking at a meeting with representatives of the Fulani and other stakeholders held at the Gbong Gwom’s Palace on Tuesday, Aduba said investigations had revealed that some of the traditional rulers were privy to the secret killings.
He said: “The Police would arrest the traditional ruler or chief where any corpse of a victim of secret killing is found because our findings revealed that some of them know about these ugly incidents.

Jonathan heads power ministry in new cabinet

By Daniel Idonor

ABUJA—SET to make a mark within the next one year, Acting President Goodluck Jonathan is to head the nation’s moribund power industry; even as he has concluded plans to unveil new initiatives aimed at improving power supply in the next few days, in the reconstituted Federal Executive Council, yesterday.

The Acting President is to work closely with a world renowned electricity power consultant and Chairman of Independent Power Producers Association of Nigeria, Professor Barth Nnaji, who currently heads government’s sub-committee on power.

A statement by Senior Special Assistant to the Acting President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Ima Niboro, shortly after the inauguration of the 38-man cabinet, said the government’s decision not to appoint a substantive Minister for the Power Ministry was deliberate.

He said: “Acting President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, is to take charge of the Power Ministry for now. A new power team is being put in place to work in conjunction with the Professor Barth Nnaji led Power Sub-Committee of the Presidential Advisory council. This new body is to take charge of a new power initiative to be unveiled in a matter of days.”

Niboro added that “the Acting President shall chair this body, with the minister of state, power, as deputy chair. The body is to be made up of experts in the different areas of power, from generation to transmission, distribution and finance”.

The statement further disclosed that the list of two more ministerial nominees from Taraba and Ebonyi States has been sent to the Senate for clearance, adding that they were likely to take charge of the Health and Water Resources ministries.

Aganga becomes finance minister
London based Managing Director of Goldman Sachs, Mr. Olusegun Olutoyin Aganga was sworn-in as the new Minister of Finance and Chairman of the National Economic Team, a body that will be charged with the responsibility of repositioning the Nigerian economy.

The Acting President has, successfully, split the overloaded ministries of Works, Lands, Housing and Urban Development; and the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources. These were, hitherto, left untouched, despite repeated promises by ailing President Umaru Yar’Adua to de-merge the two ministries.

Contrary to expectation and speculations, the Acting President, decided that the portfolio of the Petroleum Resources Ministry be given to the immediate past Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke; even as Jonathan did not appoint a Minister of State for the ministry.

Prof. Sheikh Ahmed Abdullah heads Agriculture while Mr. Awodele Najeem Adewale serves as Minister of State.

Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, is the new Attorney General of the Federation and Minister for Justice, AGF, while Mrs. Fidelia Njeze moves to Aviation.

However, the Ministry of Health was left open with no substantive Minister, even as Alhaji Suleiman Bello was appointed as the Minister of State in the Ministry.

Akunyili retains Information portfolio

The Information and Communications Ministry portfolio was retained by Prof. Dora Akunyili, while the former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, Mr. Labaran Maku, becomes the new Minister of State in the Ministry.

The Ministry of Interior has Capt. Emmanuel Iheanacho while the immediate past Minister of State for Commerce, Mr. Humphrey Enemakwu Abah, becomes the new Minister of State in that ministry.

Mr. Chukwuemeka Ngozichineke Wogu is to oversee the Ministry of Labour and Productivity; while Mines and Steel Development now has Arc Musa Mohammed Sada, as the substantive Minister. The former Minister of State for Niger-Delta Affairs, Elder Peter Godsday Orubebe, is now the substantive Minister of that ministry; with Hon. Samuel Ode as the Minister of State.

The Power Ministry, like Health, was not assigned a substantive minister, instead, the former minister of State in the Ministry, Arc. Nuhu Somo Wya was retained as the second in command.

The Police Affairs Ministry has former Minister of State for Agriculture and Water Resources, Alhaji Adamu Waziri, as the substantive Minister; Prof. Muhammed K. Abubakar, was appointed to head the Science and Technology Ministry.

A one-time Military Administrator of Bayelsa State, Navy Capt. Ernest Olubolade (rtd), is to head the Special Duties ministry; while Yusuf Sulaiman becomes the minister of Transport.

Immediate past Minister of Youth Development, Sen. Akinlabi Olasunkanmi, retains his job; just as the his former colleague in the National Planning Commission, NPC, Dr. Shamsudeen Usman, returned as the NPC boss.

Abubakar Rimi was a indeed a fine gentleman during his life time and probably one of the most unique and sincere politicians Nigeria has ever produced. This was a man that willingly resigned his post as the Governor of Kano state during the second republic.

I think this man atleast deserves some respect.

he was neva gentle, and not sincere,  he was a political Prosti tute, just within a year left AC to PDP,

where are the remaining list and portfolio?

Ekiti expired milk scam: We are vindicated –AC •They are confused –Govt

| Print | E-mail

Written by Stephen Gbadamosi
The Action Congress (AC) in Ekiti State has said that it had been vindicated on its allegation that the Segun Oni-led government in the state was feeding expired milk to pupils in government schools as officials of the state Ministry of Education visited the schools last week.

But the government, in a swift reaction said the AC was a bunch of confused politicians.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government, in a reaction by the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the governor, Mr. Wale Ojo-Lanre, said it had warned the people of the state that members of the AC were confused.

“As we said before, these characters in the AC are confused. They are just looking for something to say so as to justify their fake existence and the crumb that they get from their Lagos paymaster.

“Last week, what they said was that we were feeding students of public schools in Ekiti State with expired milk. Now, they want to justify their falsehood with the Saturday Tribune story. But unknown to them, they have further exposed their stupidity.”

The AC, in a statement by the Director of Communications of the Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Mr. Yemi Adaramodu, made available to journalists in Ado-Ekiti, at the weekend, said, “We have been vindicated about the alarm raised concerning the alleged distribution of expired milk to Ekiti pupils and students of secondary schools by officials of the Ministry of Education last week.

“An Ibadan-based national newspaper on its front page on Saturday published a story warning the public to beware of consuming expired milk of MILCOW brand which is currently in circulation, thus, confirming our earlier position on the matter. Interestingly, the same brand of powdered milk with the name MILCOW was referred to by the newspaper story and it was the same company, ROFICO, based in Lagos inscribed on the sachet of the milk distributed to schools in Ekiti that was mentioned as the packaging company.

“In his attempt to deny the obvious, the Commissioner for Education corroborated the fact that powdered milk was actually distributed to Ekiti schools by his ministry. He further confirmed that some of the powdered milk had actually expired but that those that had expired were kept in a warehouse.

“However, our worry is that we don’t know which warehouse the commissioner kept the expired powdered milk, neither are we aware when and where the said expired milk had been destroyed in accordance with the directive of NAFDAC to the packaging company.

“It is, therefore, safe to conclude that the commissioner’s claim that the expired products are in a warehouse is an afterthought and a face saving measure for his ministry and officials who engaged in the distribution of the expired products to pupils and students of Ekiti Schools.”
