Politics‘jonathan Shortchanged Buhari Before Handing Over’ by shaddoww(op): 8:39am On Aug 17, 2015
For all the years that his party was in opposition, Alhaji Lai Mohammed was a thorn in the flesh of the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). As his party’s spokeman, he took on PDP on every issue. Now that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is in power, Mohammed has not lost steam. He is still firing from all cylinders. In this interview, he speaks on why President Muhammadu Buhari is biding his time before appointing ministers; the row over INEC chair and other issues. Musa Odosimokhe reports. Why has the President not appointed ministers over two months after he assumed office? Frankly speaking, I think we will be unfair to the President on the issue of ministerial appointment. The President was elected for a term of four years. If he spends four months planning what he is going to do in four years, I don’t think it is out of place. When you appoint ministers, they don’t come to office with their own agenda. Ministers are handed the government agenda and party manifestoes to implement. It is the government that says this is my blueprint. This is what I want you to do in education, health or agriculture. We all agree that ministers can as well contribute to it. It is the responsibility of the government or President to have a blueprint. It is the blueprint that the ministers are going to implement. In the past, ministers had been appointed within two or three months that the president assumed office, but what has been the result? What has been happening is that they are either removed, reshuffled or you have to relieve some of them because they cannot perform. The President as far as I am concerned was short-changed by the last administration. The Transition Committee that he set up was not allowed to function the way it should. In short, handover notes were not handed over to us until May 26. It was then that we knew what we were inheriting. That is why the President is taking his time, calling every ministry, and asking to be briefed. Again, there has been some useful effect to not appointing the ministers because if they have been in place, the President will not have access to the information he has. The permanent secretary would have reported to the Ministers. The perm secretary would not be able to see the president directly, except through their ministers. All the information that we are hearing about $600 million being diverted might have been buried. The information by the Ministry of Mineral Resources that touts have taken control of the industry, if that kind of briefing had not taken place, the people will not get to know. I think Nigerians should look beyond this obsession for ministers. At the end of the day, the President will be held responsible for the quality of his policy. And it will not be a credit to him that he appointed ministers within one month and things did not work. I believe that the President is being thorough, very meticulous because he really wanted to know what he is inheriting before he appoints ministers. Basically, if he appoints ministers today without knowing what is on ground, what is the brief that the President is going to give? All the report that the President is getting is forming part of the blueprint that he is working on. He has promised us September and it is just around the corner. Does that explain why he has not also appointed the Chief of Staff, SGF etc? You see, The Chief of Staff and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), are people that relate daily with the President. So, the President must appoint people that he has confidence in. I believe that the President has the prerogative to choose who he wants. If he has not found a suitable person, they should give him more time. At the end of the day he would be held accountable for any decision he takes. He has assured us, and I am sure when he will come out with the appointment, Nigerians will applaud him. They will applaud him, just like they applauded the appointment of the MD of NNPC. Nigerians and investors are worried that there is no clear cut policy direction of government on the economy for now; what path is government towing? I think the economic direction of the government is very clear, even from the manifesto of the party and also from the steps taken by our government. When people say they are worried about the economic direction or policy of the government, I begin to wonder what the problem is because the action that has been taken, would determine largely the economic direction of government. Nigeria’s economy depends on oil, for the 70 per cent of its total revenue. Unless you get that industry right, the entire economic policy will wobble. I think getting the reform in the petroleum sector right, has been the pointer to what government direction is heading. Not only do we a have world acclaimed reformer and expert at the helm of affairs in the NNPC today, but we have also taken certain bold steps. This shows that even the refineries that were not supposed to be working, by 2016 they will reach 90 per cent capacity. And when you look at the economy today, what you spend on oil accounts for more than 40 per cent of your foreign exchange expenditure. Now, if you get your oil industry right, with the refineries working, you need to import less. And then you also spend less money. The Federal Government has issued a statement directing everybody to pay into Treasury Single Account (TSA). If you ask me, what is the economic direction of this government? I will say transparency and accountability. Can the refineries be optimally utilized to set the economy in the right direction? As a matter of fact the Kaduna refinery is capable of producing five million litres per day and that is at a loss. Is it not better to sell them to people who can run them? What about the subsidy issue being raised regularly? I don’t share your position. Take the issue of timing, there was a time in this country, when the refineries were working and we were exporting refined products. So, why can’t we go back to that era? Without prejudice to those who want to set up refineries, if we sell these refineries today, if they work in the hands of the new owner, it is either they improved on their equipment or the work ethic has changed. I don’t think selling is the only solution. It can work, and we can reach the capacity of 20 million litres a day. I think it will solve our problem. Nigerians don’t even know how much fuel they consume in a day. We are told it is 30 other say 40 million but all we know is that when we reviewed the package only five companies were involved, now it became seven. What Buhari has read and there has been of lot of literature on this, he is yet to be convinced whether there is subsidy or not. If we refine oil locally, the issue of subsidy will not arise at all. Today, if we import the entire 40 million litres that we need, it means we are subsidising the entire 40 million litres if there is any at all. But, if our refineries start working, if we need to import at all, it is only the balance that we are going to import. We seem not to understand the mathematics, when oil was selling at $140 per barrel, Okonjo-Iweala told Nigerians that we were subsidising with N72 per litre. She said this is because the cost of crude accounts for 80 percent of the cost of refined product. Therefore, if we are paying subsidy of N72, when oil was sold at N140, the subsidy that will be available now, when oil is sold at N50 or under N50, should be an improvement. The President wants to be sure that where there is subsidy at all and if there is how do we cure it. And the best way to cure it in my view is your local production capacity. So far, he has not been convinced on the argument for subsidy removal. The issue of subsidy is not a close issue. There are many schools of thought on the issue. Members of the PDP have accused the President of being selective in the anti- corruption war; how accurate is the allegation? The President has said no member of my party will escape justice. Now, people, especially PDP members are saying the war against corruption is selective. That only PDP former governors are being probed and I said it is not true. Murtala Nyako was an APC governor, he is facing the EFCC. Silva, Goje are under probe, so that argument is not valid. The truth of the matter is that if there is going to be a probe, and it is going to affect everybody, for every one APC member, there will be 10 PDP. Let us face the truth, who were on the board of NNPC were they APC people? How many governors did APC have compared to PDP? Even at the height of our glory, we had only 14 governors, they had 22 governors. Who had been in power for 16 years? Who made all the appointments? It is only natural that they should top the list. What do you make of the row over the acting INEC chair, Mrs. Amina Zakari, who Prof. Jega handed over to? The PDP is insinuating that she was given the job to manipulate the forthcoming governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi States. People are not seeing the appointment of Hajia Amina Zakari in correct perspective of the law. They are not divorcing the person of Mrs. Zakari from her position as a national commissioner. The Constitution is very clear on who can be the chairman of INEC. The President alone can nominate the chairman of INEC. And the only condition attached to it, is that he must be a person of integrity and must not be under 50 years. Look at Mrs. Zakari, forget that she was a national commissioner. The President could today like Jonathan did the other time, pick somebody from outside the commission and make that fellow the chairman of INEC. It is also clear that if he can make a substantive appointment, he can also make an acting appointment. In other word, he can nominate the chairman of INEC. The law also inferred that I can nominate whoever is going to be the acting chairman. There is no law that says that the acting chairman must be an INEC commissioner. Mrs. Zakari, and I keep telling them this argument would have held water if she is a new appointee by us. Mrs. Zakari was appointed by the PDP government. Whether she is related to Buhari or not is irrelevant. We met her there; she was the most senior and Jega handed over to her. When her tenure expires she just became an ordinary Nigerian like me and you. Her appointment as acting INEC chairman has nothing to do with her past as a former national commissioner. Just like Buhari could have appointed you in acting capacity. And unless they can tell me, if the law gives him power to appoint a substantive, that he cannot appoint an acting chairman. They know and are only being mischievous. It would have even been a different case, it the law says that only a national commissioner can become the chairman. The we would say, you cannot become chairman because your tenure has expired. When Jega was appointed, he was from the university. As to the elections in Kogi and Bayelsa, a President must never be intimidated. Once you are convinced of the correctness of your position, you have checked with the Ministry of Justice and you have not violated the law, no matter the noise, just remain focused. And that is where the issue of Mrs. Zakari comes again, she is not our appointee, we met her in office. There is no record that she has been biased. But, if you allow them to intimidate you, the next person you are going to bring, won’t that person be an appointee of the President? What is the guarantee that the elections in Kogi and Bayelsa will be free and fair? In addition, what are you doing about electoral reform? If you had listened to the President, he keeps saying that there will be free and fair elections under him. For the electoral reform, if not for the adoption of the Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) and the Card Reader, he would have not won. Clearly, we will uphold the innovation. Our government is going to improve on the level of transparency that helped us to get to power. The President has said so, even in his inaugural address that the electoral reform will ensure that henceforth, government will be elected solely on the wishes of the people of Nigeria. I don’t think the government is going to micro-manage any particular agency responsible for election. We came to power on the back of a ‘free and fair election'; I think it is morally right to ensure that the elections do not come short of expectations. What have been the President achievements since assuming office? If you look at the areas which we have based our campaign, security, corruption and economy, I think he has achieved a lot in these areas. If you look at the area of security, he has succeed in channelling international, national and regional supports in the fight against Boko Haram. We now have a rejuvenated Nigeria army, that is far more purposeful and mechanical to tackling the challenge of Boko Haram. We now have the Multi-national Joint Force (MNJF) to combat the insurgents. We have been able to impress it on the US to review its law to allow their troops to come and train our personnel to combat the menace. We are of the view that Boko Haram cannot only be combated with weapons, but we are looking at the underlying causes of what have made the ideology attractive to young men. This we believe is the economy, the lack of jobs and things like that. I think it is a step in the right direction that the Vice President is visiting the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), to give them hope. I think the facility by the World Bank of $2.1 billion will go a long way in making the Boko Haram fight successful. It is true that in recent time there have been cases of suicide bombings in the Northeast, anybody who is familiar with insurgency phenomenon, will know that it normally happens when insurgency is on its way out. A year ago, about 14 local governments were under the full control of Boko Haram in Borno State alone. They had their emirs and collected taxes, they even hoisted their own flags, today you cannot find such a thing. But Jonathan was able to handle them… There is no doubt Jonathan did a lot, but we kept the pace. We could have lost territories back to them, but we have not lost one inch. We have been able to dislodge them from the Sambisa Forest. What we have now is lone suicide bombers. I believe that the new crops of Service Chiefs, many of them have intelligence backgrounds which they will deploy to the combat. On the economy, I think the trip to the US has been largely successful. We have been able to get commitment in the area of power, agriculture and health. We have been able to secure almost $11.5 billion commitment and we have been able to get 20 committed business interests of international repute to invest in our economy. Locally on the economic side too, I think we must give credit to the government for the bailout package. Without it many of the states would have been on strike by now. There would have been massive industrial unrest. What the President did much more, I think is the restructuring of the commercial bank loan for 20 years tenure. Most state governments were choked, they were spending between 20 and 30 per cent of the allocation servicing debts. Now, they have enough money not only to pay salaries but to embark on projects. I think in the area of transparency and accountability, he has encouraged lots of people, to come and invest in Nigeria. The cost of doing business in Nigeria is now far cheaper than it used to be. Again, the President’s directive that all payments be made into a treasury single account will also help in enhancing the economy. On the war against corruption, the President has achieved a lot. He is one person that has the political will. And sincerely there is enough laws in Nigeria to address the issue of corruption and bad government but what has always been lacking is the political will to tackle it. There is no new head in ICPC or EFCC but all of a sudden they have reopened all cases, all because there is a man at the top that will not stop them from doing what they ought to do.

PoliticsBuhari Goes After Jonathan’s Men For Fg’s Looted Assets by shaddoww(op): 10:19pm On Aug 16, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari has concluded plans to recover all government property still in possession of government officials who served under former President Goodluck Jonathan. The government assets including vehicles, buildings, generator sets and others were said to still be in the possession of the former government officials weeks after they left office. Irked by the development, Buhari was said to have set up a committee made up of civil servants and security agencies to identify and recover the unreturned public assets from the former political appointees. The development is in continuation of ongoing efforts of the President to reclaim as much of Nigeria’s stolen resources as possible. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, confirmed the development to journalists on Sunday. He said, “That is precisely the case. Even here at the Presidential Villa, there are cars and other property belonging to the government which are yet to be returned. “The property belong to the Nigerian people. We are not trying to humiliate anyone by asking them to return their cars or houses.” The presidential spokesman however did not disclose the identities of former government officials said to be still in possession of government property. But he expressed the conviction that the committee set up by the President would recover all the government assets. When asked whether the state and local governments were facing similar challenges with retrieving government property from their predecessors, Shehu said he was not in a position to confirm or deny this. He added, however, that he would not be surprised if that was the case, as this attitude of holding on to government property even after leaving office must be a natural outcome of the culture of impunity that has prevailed in Nigeria over the past years of the Peoples Democratic Party’s rule. “But change has come. That is why we have to do things differently now. Imagine how much Nigeria will save by retrieving and re-using these government properties instead of purchasing new ones for new government officials,” he said. "The punch"
PoliticsBuhari In Support Of Apc’s Attack On Abdusalami Abubakar, Others – PDP by shaddoww(op): 10:10pm On Aug 16, 2015
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has said that it has no doubt President Muhammadu Buhari was in support of the All Progressives Congress’ criticism of the peace committee headed by former head of state, Abdulsalami Abubakar. The committee met with the president last week and reportedly cautioned Mr. Buhari over probing the Goodluck Jonathan administration, a suggestion the APC lambasted in a statement afterwards. The PDP suggested it was Mr. Buhari who made details of the meeting the committee had with him, available to the APC. “The intolerance of the APC and the glaring insensitivity of this government, in spite of the outcries of well-meaning Nigerians against their undemocratic leanings, raise fears about the future of our democracy and the general health of our dear nation,” the PDP said. “For example, how can we begin to explain the venom and disparagement with which the APC has been attacking our highly revered national leaders in the National Peace Committee, which has as members, former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, respected clerics; Archbishop John Onaiyekan and Bishop Matthew Hassan Kuka, retired justices of superior records as well as others highly respected patriotic Nigerians, for daring to counsel Buhari’s government on some observed undemocratic tendencies and processes. “The crass attacks are more astonishing, considering the much appreciated role these great Nigerians played in ensuring a peaceful and violence free 2015 general elections. “This is especially as we have no reason to believe that such weighty attacks from the President’s party can come without his approval, more so as the APC spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who authored the statements was not part of the meeting between the President and the Peace Committee. The PDP said it has carried out a review of the political developments in the country since the APC took office, and was alerting all Nigerians and the international community that all is not well with the nation’s democracy. The party said this fear is derived from the facts of some conscious actions and inactions of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government that undermine critical institutions of democracy, emasculate the constitution and ostensibly set the stage for a return of dictatorial regime in Nigeria. PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Sunday said despite claims of being a converted democrat, President Buhari has allowed, under his watch, incessant violation of sections of the nation’s constitution, a development that has become a huge threat to democracy and the stability of the nation. “For instance, how can this government explain the fact that a major institution of democracy like the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been deliberately debilitated to the extent that it can no longer perform its statutory responsibility for lack of quorum? “Nigerians are aware that before his tenure expired on June 30th, the former INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega wrote to President Buhari, intimating him of the fact that the tenure of majority of the national commissioners will expire before August, yet the President never acted, resulting in the present crisis in the commission, where more than 80% out of the statutory 13 members remain vacant, even as eleven states of the federation are also without Resident Electoral Commissioners. “We note that this anomaly is in addition to the uncertainty surrounding the controversial appointment of an Acting Chairman of INEC in the person of a national commissioner whose tenure has since expired, not minding that there is no provision for an acting chairman of INEC in our constitution. “This development has completely enervated the commission from carrying out its functions as stipulated in part 1 of 3rd schedule of the 1999 constitution as amended, thereby putting our electoral system under severe threat. “We ask, if not for a possibility of an ulterior motive to inject a constitutional crisis and undermine the nation’s democracy, why should President Buhari wait to be urged before he upholds his responsibility of forwarding replacements to the Senate for confirmation so as to enable the commission effectively carry out its constitutional responsibilities to the nation? “Could this be a ploy by the APC-led government to use a decapitated INEC to conduct the forthcoming governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa to pave way for their planned ‘capture’ of the two PDP states? “Is the weakening of INEC not part of the plot to use the commission to put the PDP in precarious position in various electoral tribunals to the advantage of the APC? “Furthermore, Nigerians are witness to the undue interferences of the Department of State Services (DSS) in the activities of election tribunals in Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and other PDP states, where electoral officers are being harassed, intimidated and detained, ostensibly to influence judgments against the PDP. “Akin to these are reported cases of abuse of security agencies by the APC- led government. Of particular note is the July reprehensible sealing of Rivers state local councils by the Police, who also barred members of caretaker committees, that were duly appointed by the state government to take charge of the councils following the pronouncement of the court. “Also, of grave concern is the adamant stance of this administration in running a government without the statutory components of a full cabinet as prescribed by the constitution, even when the negative consequences of this strange and totalitarian tendency are taking serious toll on the economy and the polity in general. “The intolerance of the APC and the glaring insensitivity of this government, in spite of the outcries of well-meaning Nigerians against their undemocratic leanings, raise fears about the future of our democracy and the general health of our dear nation. “The PDP and indeed all discerning Nigerians are therefore left with no other option than to conclude that there is a clear agenda to undermine critical institutions of democracy, intimidate Nigerians and pave way for dictatorship in the land. “In view of the developments, the PDP, as a party that nurtured and sustained democracy in Nigeria for 16 years, beckons on all lovers of democracy within and outside the country, to rise up to the occasion and impress it on President Buhari and his APC to imbibe, in its totality, the tenets of democracy and the rule of law in the general interest of our dear nation. “In raising this alarm about disturbing national issues, we however wish to reiterate our earlier position that the PDP, as a responsible and patriotic political party, is not in anyway averse to the fight against corruption, as long as it is carried out within the ambits of the due process of the law. “Our nation is a state built on the principles of freedom and social justice; the essentials of democracy, where ‘sovereignty belongs to the people, from whom government, through the constitution derives all its powers and authority’ for the good of all, irrespective of creed, class, political, ethnic or gender considerations; tenets that must be protected and upheld at all times. “Finally, we call on some well-meaning Nigerians who have found themselves in the APC, especially, those who at one time or the other, were pupils of the teachings and visions of the founding fathers of the PDP, to rise above the shallowness of their temporary enclave and join in this major defence of democratic ethos”.

SportsEPL Preview: The 3 Things That Will Decide The Chelsea Vs. Man. City Clash by shaddoww(op): 8:57am On Aug 16, 2015
While it may be too early to be a title decider, the match between Manchester City and Barclays Premier League defending champions Chelsea, on Sunday at the Etihad will still be used as a marker. City were in cruise control against West Brom last Monday while Chelsea had all sorts of challenges with Swansea at Stamford Bridge.The medical staff saga is still
rumbling with Jose Maurizio deciding not to issue any apology to his medical staff, whom he branded ‘naïve’ for running unto the pitch to treat Eden Hazard
Jose and Chelsea will be five points behind their main
title rivals with just two matches gone so you could expect not only the London bus at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon but an accompanying of Roman Abramovich’s large yacht.
Manuel Pellegrini must therefore have prepared his
team for how to break down the armada while Maurizio must have prepared for a smash and grab affair.

3 things that will decide the match…

Sergio Aguero being fit

For City’s first match, Aguero came off the bench and
showed he was still lacking some sharpness after his
extended holiday after the Copa America, for which he represented Argentina and they got to the final. The 26- goal striker is still the main talisman for Pellegrini and if he is fit and raring to go then Mourinho could be under more pressure after the 90 minutes.

Eden Hazard’s mood

Last week against Swansea, Hazard showed a side that many thought he had outgrown – nonchalance. He did not start playing until 15 minutes to the end of the encounter as Chelsea, down to 10 men chased an unlikely win. City captain and fellow Belgian, Vincent
Kompany says ‘immediately Hazard starts running, then there is chaos’. Mourinho will be expecting a big
performance from his talisman at the Etihad on Sunday.

Yaya Toure vs. Nemanja Matic

Toure seemed to be back to his swashbuckling self in the thrashing of West Brom as he combined very
effectively with David Silva, scoring a peach of a goal but against Chelsea, he will come up against a Matic, who did not play well in the first match of the season. One thing that is sure is that Toure will not have the kind of licence he had last Monday and that Matic
would raise his game.

Managers’ Quotes

“We’re playing against champions, against one of the team that has chances to win the title, so to try to win the three points at home is very important and try
to be a bigger Club in all senses. – Manuel Pellegrini

“This season we tried to go in another direction. We went for a slower start, with a short pre-season. We know what we are doing, but clearly some didn't react as well as we expected.” – Jose Mourinho

LiteraturePeople Who Bite Their Nails Aren’t Anxious - They’re Perfectionists by shaddoww(op): 7:19am On Aug 15, 2015
Most of us see nail-biting as evidence that a person is nervous and stressed-out - but tht might not be the case. Instead, compulsive nail biters are perfectionists - and bite their nails when they’re bored or dissatisfied. University of Montreal researcher Kieron O’Connor said, ‘We believe that individuals with these repetitive behaviours maybe perfectionistic, meaning that they are unable to relax and to perform task at a ‘normal’ pace. ‘They are therefore prone to frustration, impatience, and dissatisfaction when they do not reach their goals. ‘They also experience greater levels of boredom.’ University of Montreal researchers interviewed 48 people with repetitive behaviours such as nail- biting - and then exposed them to situations designed to provoke stress or boredom. In the ‘boredom’ part, the volunteers were simply left alone in a room for five minutes - and researchers noticed they were more prone to nail-biting at that time.

PoliticsPDP Begs As Members Plan Defection Today by shaddoww(op): 1:45am On Aug 15, 2015
No fewer than 570 key members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State are planning to dump the party for the All Progressives Congress on Saturday (today). But an association within the PDP in the state called the Unity Group begged the aggrieved members to reconsider the move. The group made the appeal at a news conference in Yenagoa on Friday against the backdrop of mass defections of prominent members of the party to the APC. Addressing journalists on Friday, Coordinator, PDP Unity Group, Mrs. Marie Ebikake, urged the aggrieved members not to defect to another party. Ebikake, a former Commissioner for Transport in the state, who was recently relieved of her position because of her alleged closeness to the former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, said the group was committed to the unity and resolution of the crisis confronting the PDP. She said, “We cannot deceive ourselves. Some of our people have vowed to go to the APC. We want to use this medium to appeal to them to return. The home they have built, they cannot allow it to collapse. “We are a group in the Bayelsa State PDP that is committed to the unity of our party, particularly after the outcome of the recent general elections. “We believe that losing power at the centre after 16 years should unite rather than divide us. We salute the commitment of our members and supporters in the last 16 years. “However, we are not oblivious of the most recent defections from our great party in Bayelsa State to the opposition APC. We cannot also pretend to be unperturbed of the planned defection of our esteemed members on Saturday (today) in Yenagoa. “There is no doubt that some of these defectors are men and women of high political substance and pedigree who have contributed to our past achievements.”

Your moniker confirms it: SHADOWw - a phantom- a cast-off of Hades' worst imaginations.

Remind me when you create an identity that is yours and not a SHADOWw of your simpleton-esque bandwagon.
the most foolish thing to do is to pick up a fight with someone on social media without his true identity, it makes u look like a mad man trying to fight with air, d more he does it the more people see him as a mad man, keep it coming, it won't grow on my body.....

Over time you APC folks should know we can beat you at your shenanigans.
You were always insulting and attacking pro-PDP monikers vehemently for no reason until the trio of Truckpusher, 'Snape and myself started hounding you guys with more toxic venom. Ask Rilwayne001 and his crew.

All this thing na logic, if PMB performs, tackle corruption to a reduced level, creates employment, n separates government from religious activities like he is doing, it only means there will b less income for the church, no more jamboree trips sponsored by government, youths will get engaged n therefore only few will attend churches, cos I don't think u can have a job dat gives u good pay n u will b attending church service everyday, n also people who give millions as tithe n donate millions to church will stop cos they know they are being watched, so people should understand our MOGs worries too.
