Politics / Saraki To Resign As Senate President When ‘this’ Condition Is Met by owisdom58: 8:47am On Aug 09, 2018
Senate President Bukola Saraki says he is not desperate to stay in office. However, a condition has to be met: his removal must be by two-thirds majority of the upper chamber.

Saraki said this on Wednesday while addressing a ‘World press Conference’ on Tuesday’s siege to the National Assembly by the Department of State Services (DSS).

The Senate President defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in July, sparking calls for his resignation/impeachment by the ruling party.
He said: “Let me reiterate that neither myself, Deputy Senate President nor Speaker belongs to the class of politicians that are desperate to stay in power by all means and at all costs. The day, two-thirds of our members feel they do not have confidence in our leadership, we will gracefully bow out. I repeat, again and again, this is not about us, but about respecting the constitution and the rule of law…”

Analysts posit that a quorum of 73 out of 109 senators is required to effect the impeachment of any principal officer of the red chamber, excluding the leadership of party caucuses.

The lawmaker also called on the Federal Government to hold accountable agencies and heads of government establishments who go out of line or default on their duties.
e also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the amended electoral act sent to him by the National Assembly.

He denied insinuations that he directed sacked DSS boss, Lawal Daura to invade the Senate. He described the allegation as an insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians.

Politics / Protest Rallies Rock Akwa Ibom Over Akpabio’s Defection by owisdom58: 7:49am On Aug 09, 2018
Several rallies were held on Wednesday in some local governments in Ikot Ekpene senatorial district of Akwa Ibom State against the defection of former governor Godswill Akpabio from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Before Akpabio was received into the APC, some stakeholders in the senatorial district gathered at Ritman College to denounce Akpabio’s defection, while also reaffirming their support for Governor Udom Emmanuel.

According to Emmanuel Ibok Essien, former deputy chief whip of the senate and founder of Ritman University, the resignation of Godswill Akpabio as senate minority leader was without the support of the people, adding that his defection was a shameful act.
Essien, who said he was the director general of Akpabio’s senatorial campaign, expressed dismay that the former senate minority leader took the decision to defect without the courtesy of informing him and other dignitaries in the district, maintaining that the people had withdrawn the endorsement and the support they had earlier given to Akpabio.

“Since we heard that Akpabio was going to defect, it has been a shameful thing to us and we as a people have withdrawn the earlier endorsement given to him,’’ he said.

Essien, who addressed the rally at the Ritman College, said his defection would mean a liberation to the people of the area, since according to him, out of the 54 appointments in the district, Akpabio got 34 for the people of his local government area, while Ikot Ekpene got only five.

He maintained that Udom, who is from Akwa Ibom south senatorial district of the state would serve for eight years since Akpabio from Ikot Ekpene senatorial district had also served for eight years.

Other speakers, including serving commissioners, like the commissioner for science and technology, Nse Essien and chairman of Ibom power company, Etido Inyang, as well as Sunny Ibuot, former chairman of Ikot Ekpene Local government, all denounced Akpabio’s defection, while pledging their support to Governor Udom Emmanuel.

It was gathered that similar rallies were held in all the local government headquarters in the senatorial district as a demonstration of the people against the defection of the former senate minority leader.

Meanwhile, at the Ikot Ekpene township stadium, Senator Akpabio was formally received into the APC by the party’s National Chairman Adams Oshiomole.

NYSC / NYSC Reacts To Members Allowance Increase From N19,800 To N48,900 by owisdom58: 7:35am On Aug 09, 2018
On Monday, August 6, 2018, a twitter handle, APC Newspaper, which claims to be a social media mouthpiece for the ruling party, All Progressive Congress announced that President Muhammdu Buhari has raised NYSC allowance to N49,800.
This writer, however, tweeted at NYSC to confirm the credibility of the APC Newspaper’s tweet about the allowance increase and @officialnysc replied saying it is a rumour.
Shortly after responding to the tweet that asked the agency to clear the air on the rumour @officialnysc immediately deleted the tweet.
Silverbirdng.com also spoke NYSC official in Edo State about the rumoured allowance increase. The official who prefers to be anonymous however said he is not in the best position to confirm the increase in corps member allowance.
Recall that the Director General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig. Gen. Suleiman Kazaure recently has reportedly said the Federal Government has already started the review of the NYSC corps members’ allowance.
The DG also said that the Presidency also copied the Ministry of Finance in the letter.
Kazaure announced this on Thursday, August 2, 2018, during a tour of the NYSC orientation camp in Abuja.

Food / 10 Table Manners You Should Always Follow by owisdom58: 11:50am On Aug 08, 2018
You may have seen examples of good manners in films and TV shows, but it’s not enough to give you a clear idea about the way you should behave at the table. Wondering what are good table manners? Check out these top 10 table manners right now!

1. Let the hosts sit first
If it’s a formal dinner party, you can expect cards marking the seats assigned to each guest. If it’s a less formal event and you are free to choose your own seat, show off your knowledge of good table manners by allowing the hosts to sit first and then moving on to sitting yourself.

2. Using the napkin
An important part of the etiquette for a lady is the correct use of a napkin. If there is a fabric napkin folded on the table, put it on your lap immediately after sitting down. When you leave the table, put the napkin beside your plate. It’s also acceptable to tuck the napkin into your collar if you’re going to eat a potentially messy food.

3. Fork and knife
If you rarely use a knife at home, you may be confused about the correct way to use it. You can use this little memory trick to get it right every time: fork goes on the left because they are both four-letter words, and knife goes on the right because they are both five-letter words.

4. Cut one piece at a time
When you are served a large piece of food at the dining table, whether it’s a steak, a whole fish, a piece of chicken, or any other food served whole, one of the biggest etiquette missteps is cutting it into pieces at once. Instead you should cut one piece at a time, eat it, and proceed to cut the next one.

5. Sitting position
One of the most essential table manners to follow is the correct sitting position. Avoid slouching and try to sit upright for the duration of the event. As for the elbows, keep them off the table while eating, but it’s okay to sit and talk with your elbows on the table between meal courses.

6. Keep your phone away
This is one of the latest additions to the list of table manners: your mobile phone should never be placed on the table. Additionally, it is considered to be rude to take out your phone and check it during dinner, as well as answer calls. Place your phone on mute and resist the urge to look at it while you’re having dinner.

7. Don’t reach for far away objects
If there is something on the other part of the table that you need – for example, a salt shaker, a bread basket, or a juice pitcher – don’t make the mistake of trying to reach for it yourself. Instead, you should ask the person sitting next to you to pass the needed object.

8. When can you eat with your hands?
Some cultures prefer eating almost any meal with their hands, but the general rule is that there is a limited list of foods you can eat with your hands. This list includes bread and most baked goods, pizza, French fries, fried chicken, and the group of appetizers known in Nigeria as small chops.

9. Drinking and eating
Drinks are an essential part of any kind of dinner, but there are certain rules associated with drinking while eating. Most importantly, you should chew and swallow your food before taking a sip of the drink, unless you are choking on the food – in this case you can drink water to help the food go down.

10. Finishing the meal
The universal rule for signalling that you are done with your food is placing the fork and the knife diagonally beside each other on the plate.

Celebrities / Re: I’ll Contest For President If Youth Urge Me To – Shatta Wale by owisdom58: 11:31am On Aug 08, 2018
Celebrities / I’ll Contest For President If Youth Urge Me To – Shatta Wale by owisdom58: 11:26am On Aug 08, 2018
I’ll contest for President if youth urge me to – Shatta Wale: Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has disclosed that he will not hesitate if an opportunity presents itself for him to contest for president.
https://silverbirdng.com/2018/08/08/ill-contest-president-youth-urge-shatta-wale/

According to him, politicians have disappointed the youth over the years and it will soon get to a time when the youth will be fed up. Expressing disappointment in successive governments’ attitudes towards the youth, Shatta Wale noted that the “youth are complaining” and thus will present himself as a presidential candidate if they (youth) call on him to contest.

”I’ll contest for President if youth urge me to – Shatta Wale”

“I’ll go for it (presidency) because I believe Ghana is not for one person… It is for all of us and if people feel I have that strength to talk for them [why not?]. They [politicians] shouldn’t come and blame me in future when the eyes of the youth open and they feel like we are tired.”

Also check: “Mr President, We are not lazy” – Nigerian Youths Reply President Buhari with evidence

Shatta Wale made the revelation while speaking on Citi FM’s Traffic Avenue on Monday afternoon.

He further criticised politicians for not focusing on issues that will help give better opportunities to young people in the country.

“Let’s give the youth the chance. Don’t let us watch the country like that and when we go to Dubai we want to take pictures…When you come to Circle to campaign and they vote for you, do your job…If the leaders don’t pay attention to us [the youth], and they feel the only thing they can do for us is to come on TV and speak big grammar, they’ll get pissed. Politicians need to wake up, otherwise one day, Ghana will wake up one morning and they will hear people say Shatta Wale should be president,” he said.
Born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., Shatta Wale is known as a controversial character for his outspoken nature but he is not known to be political. It will be interesting to find out how he his candidacy will be if he indeed decides to contest. Moreover, he cannot contest until 2024 when he will be 40 years, the minimum qualification age to contest for president in Ghana.

Shatta Wale is currently promoting his soon-to-be-launched album, ‘Reign’, which will be launched on October 13, 2018, at the Fantasy Dome in Accra.

DVD vs Blu-ray – entry-level models go with the primer, while high-end systems focus on excellent sound quality.
Connections – decide what you are going to play through speakers and make sure your system allows it; be clear about what you want to connect.
Power rating – decide how loud you need to play the content, especially if you throw a lot of parties or are going to use home theatre for commercial purpose.
Size – as always, more compact options are rather pricey, so set up your priorities.
Prices – consider your budget, for it is one of the final arguments for or against making the final decision.

Abakaliki street returns to Akwa, Anambra state: A great leader is not known for making unnecessary noise but the proactive handling of issues when necessary. Example of such leader is His Excellency, Apostle Dr.Nweze Umahi. Earlier this week, there was an uproar on social media over the renaming of Abakaliki street by the government of Anambra state.
https://silverbirdng.com/2018/06/25/abakaliki-street-returns-akwaanambra-state/
The opposition tried to twist the issue but our peaceful and dynamic governor, Dr Nweze umahi handed it diplomatically. Just a phone call, everything was resolved.
I commend the government of -Anambra state for its understanding.

Sports / Is This The Moment Cristiano Ronaldo Trolled David De Gea? by owisdom58: 12:17am On Jun 16, 2018
Cristiano Ronaldo trolled David De Gea? : 'Why Cristiano Ronaldo stroked his chin after scoring a penalty' in Portugal's World Cup clash with rivals Spain
The Real Madrid forward found the back of the net just four minutes into Portugal's Group B clash

kick-started Portugal's World Cup clash with Spain in the best way possible - with a goal in just four minutes.

The Real Madrid forward was taken down in the box by Nacho as he attempted to find some space to get a shot away, and the referee pointed to the spot.


Ronaldo quickly got to his feet and made his way over to the spot with the ball in his hands before setting it down and preparing to find the back of the net.

As he waited for the referee to blow his whistle before striking the ball, David De Gea left his goal line and approached the Portuguese forward.

He stood in front of him and stared him in the eyes, apparently trying to get inside his head and put him off his stride.
Also, check Cristiano Ronaldo has more Champions League goals than Ronaldinho and 5 other stars

Initially, Ronaldo stared back at the Manchester United shot-stopper, but then he decided against engaging with him.

Instead, he looked up into the sky and waited for the match official to send De Gea back to his goal line and blow the whistle for the game to resume.

Without wasting any time, the ex-Manchester United star sprinted towards the corner flag where he performed his trademark celebration.

https://silverbirdng.com/2018/06/15/moment-cristiano-ronaldo-trolled-david-de-gea/
However, he then leaned forward slightly and stroked his chin while sticking it out.

It's not clear why Ronaldo did this, and he could be referring to a number of things.

hat said a number of fans watching the action at home are convinced Ronaldo was, in fact, taking a shot at De Gea.

They're apparently convinced that the Portuguese - who clearly wants to get back at the keeper for attempting to put him off - was mocking his beard. Make of that what you will.

Sports / 2026 World Cup: What Cities Will Host USA, Mexico & Canada Finals? by owisdom58: 10:29am On Jun 14, 2018
With FIFA set to announce the winners of the bid to host the 2026 World Cup on June 13, Goal takes a look at which cities will be participating

FIFA has decided to host the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada as part of a joint bid that defeated Morocco on Wednesday.

The North American nations' pitch outscored Morocco on the official evaluation, which laid the groundwork for a return to the continent for the first time since USA hosted alone in 1994.

Goal takes a look at the joint bid from the USA, Mexico and Canada joint bid to see which cities will be hosting the 48-team tournament – as well as the major cities who notably are excluded from the 23-city longlist.

The three bidding countries submitted a 23-city list to FIFA – whittled down from an initial list comprising of 44 – and the governing body will pick from 16 cities.

Chicago is a notable major American city to have not participated in the bid, with Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel spokesman Matthew McGrath telling PA: "FIFA could not provide a basic level of certainty on some major unknowns that put our city and taxpayers at risk. The uncertainty for taxpayers, coupled with FIFA's inflexibility and unwillingness to negotiate, were clear indications that further pursuit of the bid wasn't in Chicago's best interests."

Three cities from Canada and three cities from Mexico were also submitted, leaving the United States with the bulk of the hosting duty – with 17 cities submitted in the longlist.

Vancouver, which hosted the 2015 Women's World Cup final, will not be participating in the 2026 bid.

United States: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York/New Jersey, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington D.C.

Canada: Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto

Mexico: Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey

Have any of the bidding nations hosted a World Cup before?
https://silverbirdng.com/2018/06/14/world-cup-2026-cities-will-host-usa-mexico-canada-finals/

The United States was the last of the three nations to have hosted a World Cup, last hosting the finals in 1994 which were won by Brazil. The final was held at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, California, and were played across nine cities throughout the country – a small handful compared to their 2026 bid.

The nine participating cities were Los Angeles, Stanford, Pontiac, East Rutherford, Dallas, Chicago, Orlando, Foxborough and Washington, D.C. – mostly at professional or college American football teams.

Mexico hosted the tournament in 1970 and 1986 – the most recent finals taking place in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Puebla, Monterrey, Queretaro, San Nicolas de los Garza, Nezahualcoyotl, Toluca, Leon, Iprapuato and Zapopan.

Canada has never hosted a men's World Cup final but hosted the 2015 Women's World Cup in Vancouver, which was won by the United States.

As per the FIFA rules, the 2026 World Cup is not allowed to be held in Europe or Asia due to the two continents hosting Russia and Qatar in 2018 and 2022 respectively. There must be a 12-year gap between continents hosting the finals. An African bid, a North American bid, a South American bid and an Oceanic bid were the only possible outcomes.

There are set principles as relayed by FIFA as part of the process to select the host nation of the 2026 World Cup, such as: requirements relating to stadium and infrastructure, sustainable event management and human rights, and environmental protection.

Morocco has been deemed "high risk" in the above factors – including transport, accommodations and stadiums – leading the United States to outscore them ahead of the June 13 bid. However, the North African country is believed to be popular among many of the voting countries and could cause an upset ahead of Russia 2018.

How many teams are participating in the 2026 World Cup?

The 2026 World Cup is expected to be the first tournament to feature an expanded 48 teams, following FIFA's expansion from 32 participating teams.

This will likely mean three-team groups in which 16 winners qualify for the knockouts, where the format will remain identical to the one that has been present since 1986.

Celebrities / Nigerian Man Shares Story Of 19-year-old Orphan Girl Who Refused Abortion by owisdom58: 4:27pm On May 28, 2018
A Nigerian man, Ifeanyi Odiaka, has shared the story of a 19 yr old orphan who was gang-raped and impregnated. The story which he shared on Facebook is in reaction to an advice given by OAP Daddy Freeze in regards to the news of 19 yr old orphan l who was impregnated by armed robbers who gang-raped her.

Reacting to the news, Daddy Freeze advised the young girl to disregard her parents and her Church’s opinion against aborting the pregnancy. According to him, it is her decision to make because she owns her body.

However, Ifeanyi Odiaka feels his advice is quite wrong as he cited the case of a 19 yr old orphan girl who now nurses a baby who is the product of rape.

He wrote:

”A sensitive situation but I do not stand with Daddy Freeze….

Just as I was about starting my day, I came across a story online about a 17yr old lady who was raped by robbers and now she is pregnant. Despite now gaining admission into the University, her parents and church are against the lady aborting the baby. And my dear friend Daddy Freeze has come out to say that the lady reserves the right to abort the child, stating that it is her body.

Well, it is not her body, it is God’s. Let us not be quick to take out God in certain situations. God remains God and no man can take his place. Lucifer with all his powers failed. God is the great master planner and he knows us even before we were born. God has the final say and He allows things to happen for specific reasons. Abortion i.e taking the life of an innocent child will always be an evil act. Children, no matter the circumstances they were conceived, remains the best gift from God!.

In saying this, let me share a story about Gift in this pics. The gift is a 19yr old orphan, who was gang raped. As a result of that, she got pregnant. She decided not to abort and today she has a 4months old baby. The road has been very rough for her, to be honest. She is virtually homeless and has also been diagnosed with hepatitis B. Her dreams of becoming a nurse has been distorted (certainly not over). Hearing her speak melts my heart and as I carried her baby in my arms, I knew immediately that God has designed something great for both mother and child. Her sorrows will not endure till the morning….that’s for sure. If you want to be part of Gift’s journey to total restoration, in whatever capacity, you can inbox me.
And so, I urge the 17yr old lady who was raped by robbers to listen to her parents (and church). Go through with the trauma. Go through with the pain. Go through with the disgrace. Go through with the shame. One thing I know is that God in heaven, who sees all things and can do all things will make you smile at the end.
Don’t do it….Don’t abort the precious baby. God has a greater plan for you and the baby. Just hold on to God.
God bless!”

Religion / Why Do We Pray With Our Eyes Closed? by owisdom58: 12:42pm On May 27, 2018
Why do we pray with our eyes closed?  Have you at any point wondered why do we pray with our eyes closed? Is it necessary to close eyes when we pray? Prayer is one of the basic practices of Christianity and this post investigates the reason why such huge numbers of individuals close their eyes while praying.

Why do we pray to God?

Before we investigate the reasons why we pray with our eyes closed, let us remind ourselves of what prayer is and why we pray in any case. "Prayer" was coined from the Latin word "precari" which intends to request that genuinely or ask or to implore. A prayer is a type of religious act or practice where a person speaks with a question of love to look for their assistance, bolster, protection, and so on.

Prayer can be an expression of appreciation additionally to a protest of love. Praying is a demonstration of love, and it is an integral piece of numerous religions and culture, not simply Christianity alone. Prayer is polished in each religion however in various courses or through various mediums. There are numerous ceremonies or routines individuals or religious gathering perform when they pray.

A few people pray kneeling down. Muslims have a routine of kneeling and bowing down in particular directions when they pray. Some pray lying on the ground. And some more. Be that as it may, individuals praying with the eyes closed is curious to Christians.

As Christians, prayer isn't only a routine or some religious ceremonies. It is a fundamental piece of our love. Jesus talked about the significance of prayer in numerous spots in the gospel books. In Luke 18, he told an illustration to demonstrate why men ought to dependably pray and not lose heart or never surrender. The Paul while writing to the Thessalonians composed of the significance of prayer in 1 Thess. 5 verses 16-18: "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything express appreciation, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

There are numerous reasons why prayer is essential. Let us rapidly show a portion of those reasons previously we move to why we pray with our eyes closed.

The primary reason why we pray is that it is the will of God as found in 1 Thess. 5 verses 16-18.

The God instructs us in the Bible to pray.
We likewise pray on the grounds that Jesus prayed and gave us a case of how to pray.
We pray to know God progressively and to move closer to God.
We pray out of appreciation to God.
We pray to approach God for things, to look for his direction.
We pray in light of the fact that we have confidence in God that when we approach Him in prayers, He hears and answers us.
There are numerous more reasons I can't mention yet these one's synopses why we pray. So currently, let us move to the genuine question,

Reasons why we pray with our eyes closed

Did the Bible instruct us generally to close our eyes when we pray?

The answer is no. The only thing Jesus told us about praying can be found in Matthew 6:5-6:

"At whatever point you pray, do not resemble the charlatans, since they want to pray while standing in synagogues and on-road corners with the goal that individuals can see them. Really I say to you; they have their reward. Be that as it may, at whatever point you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in mystery. And your Father, who finds in mystery, will remunerate you."

And this is a greater amount of not trying to flaunt but rather instead genuinely praying from our heart not for individuals to see but rather from a craving to address God. There is no place in the Bible where it is obviously expressed that we should close our eyes when we pray. In any case, praying with our eyes closed is imperative for the following reasons.

Crime / See The Viral Massage Man Typed Over Death Of Joy Seraph by owisdom58: 2:40pm On May 25, 2018
WITH TEARS DRIPPING DOWN MY CHEEKS, I TYPE THIS:
My hands keep swaying and fretting since yesterday evening each time I tried to articulate my thoughts on this. I can’t just get my words. Since yesterday pictures and videos have been circulating the internet about a young man who murdered his “girlfriend”. She was no longer a girlfriend as her BRIDE PRICE WAS JUST PAID LAST MONTH AND OZOEMENA JUST RETURNED TO LAGOS WITH THE GUY.
The deceased lady was my sister from Umuayom, Umuobeye, Nkalaha in Ishielu local government area of Ebonyi State where we were both born and brought up. The last post she made on Facebook was on the 16th of this month with her username, Nina Joy Seraph. The first child of her parents… The last time I travelled to the village, I did ask her mother about her and she said she was fine.
My peace has eluded me. I cannot articulate my thought. For a certain lady who is busy peddling the rumour that the deceased (Oz) recked the guy financially and wanted to jilt him , I need to tell you that Oz’s bride price was paid recently and she was brutally killed by the guy for what from every indication was for ritual purpose .. Pray neither you nor your sisters will be a victim of this kind of horror . I can recall how this girl went with her poor mother to work on people’s farms to make ends meet. She had her secondary education at the only secondary school in our village. Her mother had lost so many children before her birth, hence the name Ozoemena which means let another one not happen, given to her. How will I get over this ? This cannibalism ………… I feel like writing on materialism and human absurdism, I feel like attacking certain greedy and desperate cowards called men who make ladies their sacrificial lambs but I cannot get my words…….Oz, Rest in peace… This Nkalaha blood which also flows through my veins that was shed like that of a ceremonial ram must not go unavenged ……Good Night …my blood… https://silverbirdng.com/2018/05/25/see-viral-massage-man-typed-death-joy-seraph/
