There are many thousands of manuscripts of the New Testament. They all have mistakes in them. Lots of accidental mistakes (hundreds of thousands) from times that scribes were inept, inattentive, sleepy, or otherwise careless; and even lots of mistakes that appear to be places that scribes altered the text to make them say something other than what it originally said. You don’t appear to get that with the Qur’an. - Bart D. Ehrman

Anxiety and confusion enveloped the rustic Inuosegba community in Abeokuta as residents discovered items suspected to be severed human wrist, school pupils’ bags and uniforms in a locked building while searching for a missing 18 months old baby.
The 18 months baby identified as Hezekiah Opeyemi Ogundele was taken to a naming ceremony at Inuosegba community around 4pm on Sunday by his brother but while the ceremony was to commence, the baby was discovered to have disappeared mysteriously.
The Nation gathered that the naming ceremony was put on hold indefinitely while apprehensive guests and residents began to comb surrounding bushes and home, searching for the baby.
The mother of the baby, 26 years old Fashion designer, Elizabeth Ogundele, said her elder sister gave birth and was preparing to the naming when it was discovered that her son had disappeared.
In the course of the search, they discovered that a building near the venue of naming, severed wrist and school children’s items were found in a suspicious building within the neighbourhood, forcing the residents to place the property under surveilance as there was no one inside at the time.
The Nation gathered that later in the day, a commercial motorcycle operator visited the building in the wee hour and was arrested and handed over to the Police at the Lafenwa Divisional Police Headquarters, Abeokuta.
The Nation visited the building believed to be owned by one Chief Olasile Ifayemi, about 26 years old young man, and witnessed vandalising the over seven room bungalow and desecrated his shrine inside and over a dozen pots of fetish objects.
Operatives the Speacial Anti – Robbery Squad (SARS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) were sighted making frantic effort to control the enraged crowd bent on bringing down the building.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that he maintains his view, as expressed in his three-volume autobiography, My Watch, that Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has better expertise in wine matters than in political analysis.
In the book, Obasanjo wrote, “For Wole, no one can be good, nor can anything be spot-on politically except that which emanates from him or is ordained by him. His friends and loved ones will always be right and correct, no matter what they do or fail to do. He is surely a better wine connoisseur and a more successful aparo (guinea fowl) hunter than a political critic.”
However, last year December, shortly after the book went public, Soyinka had, in a piece titled, ‘Watch and Pray, Watch and Prey’, vehemently protested such a description (of him), calling Obasanjo ‘’an expert liar, who lies to boost his ego.’’
But in an interview granted a private television station, Channels, on a programme tagged, ‘Book Club’, Obasanjo, while holding on to his words, said what he wrote about Soyinka was purely his view, adding that Soyinka did not have to agree with him.
The former President, who added that he did not write the book to please anybody, also disclosed that there was a lingering feud between him and the Nobel laureate, who, he said, had vowed that the differences between the two of them would not be resolved on earth.
Obasanjo, however, said he had told Soyinka that, in that case, whichever of them gets to heaven first should wait at the gate to welcome the other.
He said, “Wole Soyinka is a gifted man. I have always acknowledged that but he is a bad politician and I have also always said that. That is my own point of view. He may agree with it, he may not agree with it.
“But having said that, I also, in my book, bring out Wole Soyinka as I see him and that’s my own judgment; that’s my own perspective of him. He may agree, he may not agree but anybody can bring out his own perspective of me.
“For instance, I know that if I want somebody to give me the best wine, one of the people I will go to is Wole Soyinka and I know he has a taste for good wine and I said that in the book.”
Obasanjo also dismissed a rejoinder to his book titled, ‘Watch the Watcher’, written by the Publicity Secretary of the Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, saying the book was not worth being kept in anybody’s library.
Obasanjo, who said Odumakin was paid by former President Goodluck Jonathan to write the book, said he could not be worried because Odumakin did not write anything that will last.
Obasanjo said, “Yinka Odumakin was hired to do the hatchet job and he did it. “It was part of the campaign of Goodluck Jonathan and he did serve the purpose of Goodluck Jonathan. But whether Goodluck Jonathan gained from it or Yinka Odumakin gained from it, well, it’s now left to history.
“But how should I worry about that? That Yinka Odumakin was hired by Goodluck Jonathan to do a job, which he did and Yinka Odumakin didn’t write anything to last. He wrote current affairs, not a book that anybody will seriously want to keep in his library and that’s the way I see it. And a book should be something that somebody wants to keep in the library.”
US President Barack Obama on Saturday called for gay
rights in Africa, comparing homophobia to racial
discrimination he had encountered in the United States.
In a joint press conference after talks with Kenyan
President Uhuru Kenyatta, Obama also pushed a tough
message on Kenyan corruption, the civil war in South
Sudan, controversial elections in Burundi and the fight
against Somalia’s Al-Qaeda-affiliated Shebab militants.
“I’ve been consistent all across Africa on this. When you
start treating people differently, because they’re
different, that’s the path whereby freedoms begin to
erode. And bad things happen,” he said in a moment of
open disagreement with the Kenyan leader.

innovation and entrepreneurship in sub-Saharan Africa.

“I’ve been consistent all across Africa on this. When you
start treating people differently, because they’re
different, that’s the path whereby freedoms begin to
erode. And bad things happen,” he said in a moment of
open disagreement with the Kenyan leader.
“When a government gets in the habit of treating people
differently those habits can spread. As an African-
American in the United States I am painfully aware of
what happens when people are treated differently
under the law. I am unequivocal on this.”
He said that for “a law-abiding citizen who is going
about their business, and working at a job and obeying
the traffic signs and not harming anybody, the idea they
will be treated differently or abused because of who
they love is wrong, full stop.”
Homophobia is on the rise in Africa, and for his part
Kenyatta only repeated that for him, gay rights was “a
non-issue.”
“There are some things that we must admit we don’t
share. It’s very difficult for us to impose on people that
which they themselves do not accept. This is why I say
for Kenyans today the issue of gay rights is really a non-
issue,” Kenyatta said.
Obama arrived in Kenya late on Friday, making his first
visit to the country of his father’s birth since he was
elected president.
– Corruption, conflict, security cooperation –
Obama also had firm words for Kenya on corruption,
describing it as “the single biggest impediment to Kenya
growing even faster,” and saying people were being
“consistently sapped by corruption at a high level and
at a low level.”
Obama said there was a need for “visible prosecutions,”
to show citizens action was being taken.
“They don’t have to be a forensic accountant to know
what is going on,” Obama said, giving the example of
officials driving around in expensive cars or building
houses far above what their salaries would allow.
The two leaders also pledged greater cooperation
against the Shebab, who have stepped up attacks and
recruitment inside Kenya.
“We have systematically reduced the territory that Al-
Shebab controls. We have been able to decrease their
effective control within Somalia and have weakened
those networks operating here in East Africa. That
doesn’t mean the problem is solved,” Obama said.
“We can degrade significantly the capacity of the
terrorist organisations, but they can still do damage.”
The president called for an end to the 19-month-old
civil war in South Sudan, urging the country’s warring
leaders to “put their country firs.” The conflict there is
set to be high on the agenda for the next stage of his
visit to Ethiopia and the African Union.
“The situation is dire. We agree that the best way to
stop the fighting is for South Sudanese leaders to put
their country first with a peace agreement that ends the
fighting,” Obama said.
This week’s elections in the central African nation of
Burundi, which delivered a controversial third term to
President Pierre Nkurunziza, were “not credible,”
Obama said.
“We also discussed Burundi, where the recent elections
weren’t credible. We are calling on the government and
opposition to come together in a dialogue that leads to
a political solution to the crisis and avoids the loss of
more innocent life,” Obama said.
