Some human rights activists have called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to restore sanity in the nation’s electoral system by disqualifying President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party from participating in the February 2014 general elections. The activists argued on Thursday that since the President and the PDP knowingly flouted the Electoral Act which prescribes N1bn as the maximum amount a presidential candidate could incur on electioneering, they deserved to be sanctioned. The rights activists – Debo Adeniran, Lanre Suraj, Femi Aborisade, Malachy Ugwummadu and Wale Ogunade, also slammed the police authorities for their indifference to the open breach of the Act. Section 91(9) of the Act reads, “An individual or other entity shall not donate more than N1m to any candidate.” Sub-section 10 of the same section adds that a presidential candidate “who knowingly acts in contravention of this section commits an offence and on conviction is liable to a maximum fine of N1m or imprisonment for a term of 12 months or both.” Section 91(2) of the same Act states that, “The maximum election expenses to be incurred by a candidate at a presidential election shall be N1bn.” Adeniran, who is the Chairman of Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, said in an interview with The PUNCH on Thursday, that the donation by PDP governors government agencies and public agencies to the Jonathan campaign war chest was distasteful. According to him, their action ran contrary to the call by the Federal Government on Nigerians to brace for austerity measures. The anti-corruption campaigner also pointed out that the donation by players in the power sector amounted to forcing Nigerians who had been made to pay for electricity they were not provided with, to donate to Jonathan’s re- election bid. He said, “The donation of over N21bn is a demonstration of immorality in government. This is a clear violation of the Electoral Act that specifies just N1bn for expenditure in campaigns. Then that many of those who donated are government agencies accentuates the recklessness and impunity that governs the minds of our rulers. “In a country where the government is asking the people to tighten their belts, its agencies are donating several millions of naira. “These also included the people in the power sector who have not been able to supply electricity which the people have paid for. This is to say that people are being forced to contribute to the campaign of the incumbent regime and that is another level of immorality. “INEC needs to bar Jonathan and his party from participating in the general elections next year because they knowingly contravened the law governing elections in the country.” He also challenged the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other-Related Offences Commission to investigate the breach. “It is not direct robbery that the police can intervene without being invited. It is the duty of the ICPC to set up the Anti- Corruption and Transparency Unit that has the mandate to call to question, all the authorities that are violating transaction and procurement rules like it is being perpetrated by Jonathan and his political party. “We expect the ICPC to move to check these financial shenanigans. The ICPC does not need a petition before they could act.” On his part, Aborisade argued that since the police authorities were fully represented at the PDP dinner/fund- raiser on Saturday, they did not require any report or invitation from any quarter to commence investigation. He said the police “should not give us the impression that they are only there to protect the interest of the ruling party at the centre.” “They are to investigate and prosecute crimes committed against the law of Nigeria. The 1999 Constitution and the electoral law have been breached and the police are empowered to so act,” Aborisade, who is also a lawyer added. While he made reference to section 4 of the Police Act to corroborate his stance, he advised INEC to go ahead and disqualify Jonathan and the PDP . He said, “They are part and parcel of the Nigerian society. They are fully aware. The police were well represented at the donation. They witnessed it and they do not require any other form of report from anybody. It is public knowledge and they ought to have acted appropriately. “But not only the police, even INEC ought to disqualify PDP from presenting a candidate and ought to disqualify the candidate of the PDP because they have flouted, in a very disgraceful and condemnable manner, the Electoral Act. “I think the INEC should introduce sanity into the Electoral process because with that kind of donation, they are merely saying they can induce every voter so that they can win the 2015 election. “Our elections should not be monetised; they should be based on issues or ideas that can uplift the lot of our people as contained in the constitution.” Also, Ugwummadu lamented that the donation had demonstrated that “Nigeria has now become a huge theatre of absurdity and one in which clear criminal actions and activities have now worn a garb of comedy.” He said, “On the day of the donation which was streamed live on the television, I personally called the leadership of several law enforcement agencies in this country to tell them that they don’t need a complainant to begin to arrest those people who were donating. “And the fact that the arrest didn’t happen, even as I knew it would not happen, clearly describes the poverty of the situation we find ourselves which is indeed hopeless. “We are now at the last bus stop before anarchy – that bus stop where 18-year-old girls are now enrolled as suicide bombers in legions; where crimes and criminalities are perpetrated with impunity and encouraged by the ruling political party.” The activist advised INEC to disqualify the PDP and Jonathan from participating in the elections as “they have been involved in a clear case of criminality. source; http://www.punchng.com/news/n21bn-activists-ask-inec-to-disqualify-jonathan-pdp/ |
The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Wednesday said that though Nigeria is a rich nation, its people are extremely poor due to bad governance. He also promised to involve serving and retired military generals to devise an effective strategy to crush insurgency in the country, if elected as President in 2015. Buhari, in his Christmas goodwill message signed by the Director of Communications, Buhari Campaign Organisation, Mr. Dele Alake, expressed displeasure at the security challenges in the country and the poor state of Nigerian roads. He said his administration would focus on how best to “make the condition of living of the common man the index for the assessment of our policies and not the amount of billionaires our administration would have made.” Buhari felicitated with Christians in the country as they celebrated Christmas, assuring Nigerians that they would have better reasons to celebrate the festival if he is elected in 2015. He said, “On my part, I intend to initiate consultations with serving generals and those who have served our country and distinguished themselves on the battlefield across the world to work out an alternative and effective strategy to crush this insurgency within the shortest possible time if elected president on February 14, 2015. “I have said that I live the life of a pensioner. I share the burden and anxiety of majority of our poor, powerless people. I have offered myself on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, the party of change, because I desire to give back to a country that clothed, fed and trained me to be what I am today. Our people are poor. But our country is rich.” The former Head of State, who berated the President Goodluck Jonathan administration over rising poverty in the country, said, “In a nation where a few individuals could raise N21bn because they wanted to make their friend President, millions of citizens, who truly own the resources being accumulated by a few, are left to suffer in sorrow, tears and blood. Buhari said while many Nigerians travelling towards the eastern part of the country would encounter “the failed promises of the Second Niger Bridge;” those travelling through the South-West would “have to bear the gridlock on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.” He noted that millions of Nigerians would celebrate the Christmas season in poverty and misery because “the system of production and distribution of national resources has been rigged against the vast majority of our people.” He said, “We promise that, by Christmas 2015, our administration would have brought out efficiency in management and allocation of public resources to make the inter-state roads smoother and easier to ride. “Christmas is a season when we all embark on journeys to join our brothers and sisters in our native towns to hold town hall meetings, inaugurate community projects and exercise our cultural rights. “This year’s celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ symbolises peace, love and togetherness to mankind. It reminds us, once again, of the exemplary life of Jesus Christ and the ordinary yet spectacular circumstances of His birth. His life enjoins all of us to follow his path by offering to sacrifice our selfish desires for the good of our country and mankind in general. This event, however, is taking place at a period of serious security challenges across the length and breadth of our dear country. “The right to life, guaranteed by our constitution, is under savage assault. The stories of murder in the print and electronic media make you shiver to the bones. The daredevilry of the Godless Boko Haram, which penetrated battle lines in the North-East to commit suicidal blasts in the north central capital cities of Bauchi and Gombe, demonstrates the crucial need to review the military strategy of our defence forces.” Buhari also promised to initiate policies that would ensure the empowerment of the masses, adding that his presidential ambition was borne out of the need to alleviate poverty and establish a system where the rule of law prevails. He added, “Certainly, there will be changes in policies. We cannot continue to enslave our country to those who tell us that we are in economic crises because of loans.” http://www.punchng.com/news/ill-meet-other-generals-to-draft-anti-terror-plan-buhari/ |
President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday wished Nigerians a merry Christmas and promised that his administration would give security agencies the necessary support to ensure that the 2015 general elections are violence-free. The President said the Independent National Electoral Commission would be given the necessary assistance to conduct free, fair and credible elections. Jonathan said this in his Christmas message to Nigerians, copies of which was made available to journalists in Abuja. To ensure peace before, during and after the elections, the President called on all politicians to ensure that they conduct issue-based campaigns ahead of the elections. He said, “We are also celebrating this Christmas against the background of preparations for next year’s general elections. “I seize this opportunity to reassure the nation that my administration will give the Independent National Electoral Commission all necessary support to ensure that it delivers very free, fair, credible and acceptable elections in 2015. “National security agencies will also be given all necessary support to enhance their ability to ensure that the elections which should strengthen democracy in our country are peaceful and violence free. “I urge our political class to be law- abiding and place the greater interests of our nation above all personal or sectional interests in the countdown to the elections. “Let us all be more statesman-like, conduct issues-based campaigns, and eschew the promotion of falsehood, division and hatred of others as we seek the votes of our countrymen in what should be a peaceful competition among contending points of view for the progress and development of our dear nation.” The President said all Nigerians should offer special prayers for a greater manifestation of divine peace in the country. He also asked for prayers for all those who have suffered and continue to suffer hardship, deprivation and death at the hands of terrorists and insurgents. His statement read further, “Let us also continue to pray for our gallant soldiers and security agents who remain at the forefront of the national effort to overcome terrorism and violent extremism, even as the rest of the nation celebrates Christmas and the coming New Year. “In this season of goodwill, I urge all patriotic Nigerians to rededicate themselves to doing all within their powers to support the brave men and women of our armed forces in the ongoing war against terrorism, and also support the Federal Government’s efforts to provide more succour to the hapless victims of terrorist atrocities. “The Victims’ Support Fund which we have established to raise additional funds to assist our compatriots who have been adversely affected by continuing insecurity in parts of our country remains active. “I call on all individuals and corporate organisations who have not yet done so, to donate more generously to the Fund which is being efficaciously deployed to ease the sufferings of victims of terrorist violence in the country.” The President urged Christians and non- Christians alike to reflect deeply on the virtues and ideals which Jesus Christ espoused during his earthly mission. He said the internalisation of the virtues of love for fellowmen, tolerance, Godliness, honesty, fairness to others, selflessness, and peaceful co-existence with others by all adult Nigerians, and the inculcation of the same in youths, would help the country to overcome most of its present challenges.

I attend the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries where we are always taught about the mystery of the spirit husbands/wife but i was bamboozled when i was listening to pastor chris ojigbani of covenant christian center on STV this afternoon as he was preaching against it..he was like"Speaking with many people, online and in real life, it is becoming apparent to me how deep the twin trick of the enemy has taken root in the Christian community. Spirit husband or spirit wife? Ever heard of it? Most Nigerian Christians have. I am thinking now that all people exposed to Pentecostal/evangelical messages from Nigeria have heard this taught or mentioned or “testified” about. I am beginning to think that this trick of the enemy is the leading cause of separation, divorce, and delayed marriage in the body of Christ where this fable is taught. Yes, it is a fable. Many people teach about spirit husband and wife. They teach that when a woman or man has such a spirit that the person will not succeed in marriage in real life. But they are all in error. It's a trick of the devil. There's no scriptural basis for such a teaching. There's no such thing in the Bible. Demons don't have sex. The spirit husband/wife teaching is a complete make-believe story – from the start of it to its end, there is no truth to it. Why? Spirits don’t marry. Jesus Christ said so. Since there is no such thing as spirit wife or spirit husband, there is therefore no such thing as spirit children. Spirits don’t have sex. God created sex for procreation – “multiply and fill the earth” – sex is an earthly activity. Spirits don’t procreate. Marriage was created in the Garden of Eden for man and woman – human beings. Before Adam found Eve, there was no marriage in creation. So angels who predate man don’t marry. You can’t be married to someone without knowing it. There is no way you can be married to a demon. Just no way! But, we hear stories of people saying they had it and testifying of being delivered of it? People make up stories and relay them to other people. It’s a game of the mind. If a person that one thinks is a man of God tells him consistently that he has a spirit wife. And the man of God in question comes across as one who has deep spiritual insights, and the person believes that he has a spirit wife. Then, symptoms of those who have spirit wife according to what he has been taught would become more prominent in his mind. And because he believes there is something like spirit wife and that he has it, he will begin to think on those things and then create those things in his life. So if that person is taken through a series of activities called “deliverance” and the person is then told that he has been delivered that the spirit wife has left him. The symptoms may cease and then he would testify of being delivered. Then why do people have sex in the dream and sometimes they wake up with “evidence” of sex on them? An understanding of what a dream is would explain why such things happen. Check out the “Trick of Dreams" teaching by Pastor Chris Ojigbani. Those physical manifestations are body fluids of the dreamer. A demon cannot be touched or felt as such a demon cannot have sex. Demons don't have physical bodies. Demons are fallen angels. Jesus Christ said that angels don't marry. People could have sex in the dream because: 1. They think about sex before they go to bed; 2. They fill their thoughts with sex during the day or they have strong desires for a loved one whom they have not seen for some time; 3. They watched a film of people being intimate; 4. They have abstained from sex for a long time; 5. They saw someone they are attracted to and began to desire the person; 6. MOST PRIME - They heard that they have spirit husband or wife and because the teacher of this fairly tale story told them that someone who has spirit husband or wife is visited in the dream for sex by the spirit. It’s a two-fold problem. The second aspect of it is the trick of deliverance. Because spirit husband or spirit wife is a demon. The person is told that he or she needs deliverance and taken through a series of activities for this deliverance. This fable sends Christians out on wild goose chase seeking to be delivered from something that does not exist. This is not a joking matter. I know many people that have sown wedding gowns and bought wedding bands to return to the spirit husband and taken through series of useless events including bathing in a river in the name of divorcing from spirit husband. The devil is so wicked. There are some deliverance merchants out there who specialize in diagnosing spirit husbands and wives. “I don’t feel love for my husband anymore.” “You have spirit husband.” “Nobody proposes marriage to me.” “You have spirit husband.” “My husband is having an affair.” “You have spirit husband.” he gave me money in my dream-is spirit husband CBN''He's even selling some books now that reveals against it....SOURCE:STV (let discuss abt it plz).. |
