Vicky and her friends took a tour of Badagry Slave Port where they were shown the first storey building in Nigeria.She shared the photos on social media and wrote...

'Then we had to work some few kilometers away from the first administrative building to the first Storey building in Nigeria built in 1845. Outside this building use to be an AGIA TREE where Christianity was first preached by Rev. Birch Freeman of Methodist Church. Discretely, everyone said a silent word of prayer here because we were told that prayers said here always get answered. Oh! The miracle well that houses the cleanest water I have ever tasted was there. It was dug by Slaves. It’s called miracle well because it is the only well free from salt in the whole environs.

Inside the building were portraits of men like Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther and several other notable men who work on establishing Christianity in Nigeria.

We also saw a broken Chair that was so much taken care of like glass wares cared for by a woman. “What is so special about this Chair Mr Ade? “ One of us asked our tour guide. We learnt it is the last chair standing since 1859 in the iconic building. I felt blessed to be there and some of spiritually just engulfed me. But our tour was just about to start'

A blind man, who had been booked for eye surgery, arrived at The SCOAN and was placed on the Prayer Line during the Monday Healing Service. After Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed for him, he began shouting "I can see! I can see!" He then started walking around and shaking hands with people nearby, identifying the colours of their shirts. He also identified the man of God, to the glory of God.

'Players and officials of Enyimba Football Club of Aba went to Katsina yesterday to honor a football match with Katsina United in the Nigerian Professional League.

They were beaten 2-1 by their hosts. That was not enough for them.

After the match, the crowd became violent and attacked the players and officials, destroying their bus. Some of the players and officials got wounded.

These people will come here and be treated with respect and their safety will be assured. It is on record that no visiting team has ever been molested by our people.

This nonsense has to stop.

I am sure that the Management of Enyimba will put up a very strongly worded protest letter to the Nigeria Football Federation'

Fayose celebrates Chief Akomolafe at 100

Ekiti State Governor, Mr.  Ayodele Fayose alongside his Chief of Staff, Barr. Dipo Anisulowo was on Saturday at Jogor Centre, Ibadan, venue of 100 years birthday bash held in celebration of Chief Adepoju Akomolafe.

Chief Adepoju Akomolafe who clocked 100 years on 4th April 2017 is a member of the federal parliament representing Ondo Province during the First Republic.

Chief Adepoju Akomolafe  is among the first people to be educated in Ekiti in the then Western Region, having obtained a B.A. London degree as a private candidate.

Chief Akomolafe made history when he became the pioneer principal of Ekiti Parapo College, Ido-Ekiti, the second secondary school to be established in 1954 in Ekiti after Christ’s School, Ado-Ekiti. Ekiti Parapo College emerged from the joint efforts of Ekitis and in remembrance of Kiriji War the Ekitis fought with Ibadan.

The centenarian was later elected into the federal parliament on the platform of then Action Group (AG), led by the late saga, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

Governor Fayose in his remarks at the ceremony described Chief Akoms as he's fondly called as an outstanding Nigerian worthy of emulation.  He wished him more years in good health, sound mind and all round happiness.

As shared by Dogara......

'Sequel to last week's resolution, the House of Representatives today engaged the ministers for finance and budget & planning regarding #pensionmatters. The ministers took turns making submissions and fielding questions, some of which correlated with questions you asked.

Pensioners were not left out, as Dr. Abel Afolayan - national president of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners - also addressed the House.

We made it clear that no excuses would be accepted for non-payment of pensions and urged the Executive to to ensure that all outstanding payments are made soon. When H.E., President Muhammadu Buhari made a commitment that he was going to release bailout funds to states so that they can pay backlog of salaries & pensions, it happened, despite the biting recession. I am therefore hopeful that now that the President has said #pensionmatters will be resolved, then this issue of unpaid pension for federal civil servants must be solved'.

I also want to believe that this will be the last intervention we will have regarding #PensionMatters in this country, and would like to thank you all for your contributions.

Sadly, Wali lost his parents and could not continue with his university education. 

Their paths crossed again in 2011 and he decided to take responsibility of his university education after hearing of his inability to further his education as a result of his parents' death.
