A cleric, Prophet Christopher Owolabi, has predicted a rapid socio-economic development for Nigeria with President Muhammadu Buhari at the helm of affairs.

Owolabi, is a Prophet in-charge of the Christ Apostolic Church, (CAC) Ori- Oke-Irapada, along Omu-Aran-Ilofa Express road, Omu-Aran in Kwara.
He made the prediction during a special prayer organised by the Church for peace, good governance, stability and national development for the country on Saturday.

Owolabi said what the president and its team needed most was the prayer, cooperation, perseverance and support of all stakeholders to achieve the desired change.

He urged Nigerians in all spheres of endeavour to learn from their past mistakes, misdeed and shortcomings by embracing righteousness and godliness.

“This second coming of the newly sworn-in President Muhammadu Buhari, no doubt, is clearly a divine intervention as revealed by God to salvage Nigeria’s battered socio-economic and security.
“It is only left for us as citizens and non citizen alike to be alive to our responsibilities by giving the necessary supports needed by this administration to succeed,” he said.


Owolabi, who had earlier predicted the emergence of Sen. Bukola Saraki and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila as the next Senate President and Speaker House of Representative respectively, said the prediction still stands.
The prophet, however, said the prediction was not borne out of love for any of the aforementioned leaders.
According to him, it is based on God’s interest in directing the affairs of the country at this critical period of its history as it is revealed to me.
“No matter any act of political commission or omission, God is the one presently in control and directing the affairs of the country,” he said.
Owolabi, who was known to have made many predictions regarding Nigeria current affairs including the emergence of Buhari and other notable governors, urged politicians to eschew corruption and other fraudulent practices.
He said election of leaders in the country presently has gone beyond personalities or individuals but through a divine intervention.

Gunmen on Monday kidnapped a Kogi High Court Judge, Mr Justice Samuel Obayomi, and killed his orderly, Cpl. Usman Musa in an early morning attack.

Obayomi of the Ebogogo High Court in the Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi was kidnapped while on his way to work.

His driver, Mr Ajayi Kolawole, told newsmen in Lokoja that the incident took place in front of the Executive Guest Villa at Okene GRA in the Okene Local Government Area of the state.

Kolawole said that the judge’s orderly, Musa was shot dead on the spot by the kidnappers in an operation that took place between 8:40 a.m. and 8:45 a.m.

He described the three gunmen as heavily armed, unmasked and wearing dark glasses.
The driver said the gunmen ordered the judge and his aides to lie face-down.
Kolawole said that the kidnappers opened fire on the orderly killing him on the spot.

NAN recalls that the judge had recently survived a ghastly accident and had just resumed work after three months in hospital.
The Police Area Commander at Okene, Mr Kehinde Kolawole, said the driver had been detained to help in police investigations.

The Chief Judge of the state, Justice Nasir Ajanah, who visited Obayomi’s family, told his wife to let him know as soon as the kidnappers made contact.

Ajanah promised that effort would be made to ensure the release of Obayomi. (NAN)

Pregnant women have been warned that taking paracetamol could harm their unborn baby.

The popular painkiller is believed to have lifelong effects on baby boys, raising their risk of everything from infertility to cancer.
Edinburgh University researchers said Britons have become 'blasé' about paracetamol’s potential dangers – and urged pregnant women to think twice before taking the drug.

They said that if the tablets are taken, they should be used in the lowest possible dose, for the shortest possible time.

Pregnant women have been warned that prolonged use of paracetamol could harm their unborn baby boy
The Royal College of Midwives said mothers-to-be should seek medical advice before taking paracetamol at all.
And the medicines’ watchdog is to carefully evaluate the research.

Paracetamol is the most widely-used painkiller in the world. And as the only painkiller deemed safe in pregnancy, it is taken by most mothers-to-be.

However several studies have suggested it interferes with the development of the male reproductive system while still in the womb.


This is important because it is thought that if this programming goes wrong, it has lifelong effects, putting the child at higher risk of a range of problems from genital birth defects to infertility and testicular cancer.

Testosterone, which is made in the testicles, is thought to be key to the whole process, so the researchers carried out an experiment designed to show if exposure to paracetamol in the womb cuts levels of the hormone.
