Pope Francis prayed on Saturday on the second day of his visit to Turkey alongside a senior Islamic cleric in Istanbul’s Blue Mosque.

The blue mosque, known officially as the Sultanahmet Mosque, opened in 1616 and was the most famous in Turkey.
Its popular name was a reference to the fine blue Iznik tiles in its main prayer room.

The Vatican City spokesman described it as a gesture of inter-religious harmony and a joint “moment of silent adoration” of God.
Francis took off his shoes as he entered the huge mosque before bowing his head in prayer for several minutes, facing Mecca and standing next to Istanbul’s Grand Mufti Rahmi Yaran.
A similar act by his predecessor Pope Benedict in 2006 drew criticism from conservative Catholics and some Muslims.
Halil Ibrahim Cil, 24, a hospital worker from Istanbul, said there was need to show respect for each other’s beliefs.
He said God willing the pope’s visit would help in this respect.

“We want to practice our religion in peace, as we want people to understand Islam, more so we don’t want war, Islam is a religion of peace’’, he said.
Hundreds of people, many of them tourists, watched from behind police barriers as the pope then walked to the nearby Aya Sofya museum, once the Christian church Hagia Sophia.
A group of school children waving Turkish and Vatican flags chanted “Long live Pope Francis” in Italian as the Muslim call to prayer rang out across the Sultanahmet square, the heart of Istanbul’s historic quarter.
Pope would later in the day, celebrate Mass at the Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and then meet the leader of the Orthodox Church, Bartholomew.

Discussions at Bartholomew are expected to focus on healing the schism in the Christian Church in 1054 that divided Rome and Constantinople.
Islamic State insurgents have captured swathes of neighbouring Syria and Iraq, persecuting and killing Shi’ite Muslims, Christians and others who do not share their ultra-radical brand of Sunni Islam.

Op.... nice post....
Just in case

in case of?

So you love her, and you're starting to see a future. How do
you make absolutely sure she would make the right
partner?
Here are some questions you should ask her before you pop
the question.

1. Money
Ask her: What would you do if you won N70,000,000 in the
lottery? You must find out her financial priorities. One of the
biggest problems couples have is money and, specifically,
differences in styles of spending and attitudes about their
budget. You'll learn how she views money, saving, and
long-term investing. Will all of it go toward cars and trips,
or most toward retirement? It’s not essential that you share
the same investment strategies. What’s important is to use
the conversation to prompt a discussion about financial
behavior: how you pay bills, invest the year-end bonus, or
decide on major purchases. If your attitudes don't mesh,
now's the time to get the issues on the table and build a
consensus.

2. Her Family
Ask her: What's your favorite holiday? How does your
family spend it? It's important to learn about her family
roots. Where you spend the holidays can be a huge political
issue. The underlying issue is whose family comes first, and
that stands for who has the power in the relationship.

3. Religion
Ask her: Do you believe in God? This helps you find out
how compatible your faiths and religious rituals are. In a
study of 120 married couples, those who shared religious
holiday rituals reported more marital satisfaction than the
pairs who practiced holiday rituals separately. It's not
necessarily the religion itself that’s key—though the
particular religion you practice can certainly be a huge issue
with her family—it's all the things that go with it. When you
engage in celebrations and rituals, there's usually a lot of
planning involved, something to look forward to that’s
meaningful to discuss.

4. Her Work
Ask her: What's your dream job? Where would you most
like to live? You need to know her goals, and how far she's
willing to go to reach them. Just asking shows support for
her career, an important factor. Those who felt they had
more support had greater satisfaction than those who felt
unsupported. It's also a good time to find out how far she's
willing to move away from her family. It’s a very under-
appreciated area of stress — where are you going to live,
whose family are you going to live near — yours or hers?.

5. Your Work
Ask her: What was your dad's work schedule like? You
need to find out whether she's already lived with a man
who had the same work ethic and schedule as yours.
Maybe her dad worked a 7-to-3 shift every day of his life,
came home and played with the kids until they went to bed,
and never worked weekends. Maybe he owned a business
and set his own hours so he was always home for dinner.
But your job—or your future job—may require late meetings,
60-hour workweeks, and business trips. And that can put
stress on a relationship.

6. Interests and Dreams
Ask her: How do you envision your life in 5 years? This will
help you find out whether she wants to be a career girl or a
stay-at-home mom or a mom with a career. You should
know whether she expects to live in a big house or an
apartment in the city. More and more research shows that
the "opposites attract" notion is a myth. Successful couples
usually have more similar priorities than not. A couple has
to have similar goals and a long-term plan, worked out
together, to reach these goals. And, even more important, a
similar tolerance for risk and sacrifice. If you don’t share the
same values, they’ll be a constant source of conflict in
terms of how you spend your time and money.

7. Discipline Style
Ask her: What do you think of spanking as
punishment? You need to hear her thoughts on disciplining
kids. We assume you've worked out whether you both want
children, and maybe even how many. (You have done this,
right?) But how you'll discipline them is a topic that's often
overlooked. Bring it up the next time you see an stubborn,
unruly child at a restaurant. Ask her how she'd handle it
and how she was disciplined as a child. Either we tend to
follow the way we were raised, or, if something was
objectionable about the way we were raised, we do the
opposite. Different parenting styles can cause the most
strain on a marriage because they can be a daily, even
hourly, source of conflict.

8. Genetics
Ask her: What do your parents like to drink? It's important
to know if there's a history of alcoholism in her family.
Health problems like depression and alcoholism have a
strong genetic component. If her mother had depression or
her father was a chronic alcoholic, there's a good chance it
could creep up and become a problem. It's not a
relationship killer, but talking about hereditary health risks
early will make it easier to discuss the same conflicts should
they pop up in your relationship.

9. Your Potential In-Laws
Ask her: How have your parents reacted to your previous
boyfriends? You should find out whether they'll think the
current boyfriend is good enough for their little princess
(and whether they'll pay big bucks for the wedding). If her
parents don't approve, there's a potential problem. Not that
that's necessarily a deal breaker. Who are you marrying,
her or them? What's more important is to learn something
about your girlfriend by how she responds. Is she the kind
of girl who wants to please Mommy and Daddy? Or is she
secure enough with herself to make her own life decisions?

10. Her Father
Ask her: What was your relationship with your father like?
This helps you find out her attitude toward men. Especially
toward the one who mattered most (before you). If her
father was distant and cold, she may seek male approval. If
her father was abusive or a cheat, she may have trouble
trusting men. If there's any unfinished business in her
relationship with her father, it could manifest itself in your
relationship. When people get into serious relationships,
they tend to look to their mate to give them everything they
need. Couples get into trouble when they don't look closely
at these tendencies early on. You also should consider her
relationship with her mother, which could have the very
same implications. If she can’t pee without calling her
mother to tell her all the details, that’s not going to change
after you walk down the aisle.

11. And the Ultimate Question . . .
Finally, you need to ask yourself this: "Can I ask these
questions and have an honest, intelligent conversation with
this woman when we disagree?"
Because if you can't, none of her answers really matter.

Apostle Suleiman's prophecy comes to mind. Watching lawless lawmakers in 3D from Otuoke where I schooled.

what was that? What did he prophecise

One question pls! what would be the reaction of their offsprings, wives and relatives after seen them like this? O ga oo


Train yha child the right path now.....hunmm
Here is where its started:

spenca:
No, none I can't agree with you more but in light of history and antecedence, Buhari and Jonathan, Buhari would be a better choice because he is the lesser of two evils and because the man has the clout, the leverage, the integrity and the discipline to lead Nigeria right now given the level of Corruption and insecurity in Nigeria. He has done it before. I believe He can do it again if we support him. Need I say more?

Stand against mediocrity , stand against saTANist , we deserve a better Nigeria

Well, I agreed with you in terms of GEJ Vs BUHARI. Though, I still prefer PDP to APC because of their characters of the same feather.
Nevertheless, Something in me just "hate" (sorry! neglect) GEJ.

spenca:
The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life. He doesn’t seem to know that the cost of living, the price of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines, all depend on political decisions. He even prides himself on his political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he hates politics. He doesn’t know, the slowpoke, that from his political non-participation comes the prostitute, the abandoned child, the robber and, worst of all, corrupt officials, the lackeys of exploitative multinational corporations.

This is the kind of government the saTANist want , if not why promote mediocrity? I don't see why this man should be in government he is just a mere farce like the man that sleeps in Aso Rock and celebrates his birthday today in a cowboy hat when people are dying of hunger and poverty he has unleashed in the country

Has any Messiah shown yet?

HE DREAMED of owning a fast car . . . And he didn’t let his money problems stand in his way.
Samuel Ngubeni (37) from Siluma View in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni got clever and built his own sports car.
The qualified mechanic has so far spent R60 000 on his car which he calls The Cat.
It is covered in funky denim fabric and uses a combination of original and home-made parts.
The car looks like a miniature BMW. When Daily Sun asked him if his car can move, Samuel opened the
bonnet and proudly displayed the car’s six cylinder engine.
He then jumped in behind the steering-wheel and drove his car up and down the driveway.
He started building his car two years ago as a present for Nelson Mandela. Samuel told Daily Sun: “I drive
my car around the streets ekasi.
“I wanted to thank Madiba for his contribution to Mzansi and the world.
“Unfortunately he died before I finished it.” Samuel now wants to become a professional car designer.
“We don’t have cars designed in Mzansi,” he said. “I believe if I was given a platform by car companies, I
could show them what I can do.”
Samuel did all the work on the car himself. He did the interior of the car, including the gauges, the steering-
wheel, as well as the wheels and body panels.
“People said I’d never do it but I never listened to them,” said Samuel.

(Shortly after he was sworn-in as governor last month, Fayose ordered the closure of a petrol station in Ado Ekiti giving a standard made-in-Nigeria excuse. That filing station belongs to one Adewale Omirin. Omirin also happens to be the Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly and one of the progressives in the state. Last weekend, Mr Omirin retaliated by promising Fayose a second dose of impeachment before Valentine’s Day, 2015. Clearly, these two are not lovers.

But the Federal government and Fayose moved in first. 24 hours later, Mr Omirin was “impeached” by seven House members and a battalion of heavily armed Federal police. I guess when the Peoples Democratic Party promised Ekiti voters more Federal presence in their state they weren’t kidding.

A few days before that, the judge presiding over a lawsuit looking into Fayose’s eligibility to contest the governorship removed himself from the case. His reason? He got a couple of death threats. Ekiti seems determined to keep itself in the news – bad news.

Fayose’s second coming was always going to play out like this. If you are a dealer in boxing gloves, I’d suggest you relocate your business to Ado Ekiti.

There’s no doubt that Ekiti is suffused with redoubtable men and women. But an Ayo Fayose is their governor, for the second time. You could see why there would be tension. But because of that tension, some folks down there are giving the word ‘Progressive’ a bad meaning.

The first time Fayose called the shots in Ekiti, the place was in a mess, the state became an object of ridicule. But his people wanted him back. He was, surprisingly, their choice as leader. Well, the people’s choice must be respected always. This is one bitter pill, one fact with which the elite and the progressives have got to come to terms – and quickly too.

The last time Ishmael saw his son alive was when he handed him over to a group of men in a kombi.

“But later, the cops came to see me. They said my son was dead,” Ishmael Buthelezi from Protea Glen in Soweto told Daily Sun.

His son Zakhele (19) had been beaten to death. His body was in the mortuary with a broken neck.

Ishmael said a group of men he didn’t know arrived at his house on Monday night while Zakhele was out.

“One of the men said said my son had stolen cellphones and a video game. I took his details and said Zakhele would contact him,” said Ishmael.

“They had my son’s friend in the boot of the car. He was badly beaten.”

He went to the police station on Tuesday but they said there was nothing they could do.

The next day, Zakhele came home and told his father he had not stolen anything.

However, Ishmael told his son to go with the men when they arrived later that day in a kombi full of people to show them where the stolen items were.

“The man said he would return my son safely but I later found out he had been beaten to death,” said Ishmael.

Zakhele’s friend told Ishmael they were locked in a shack and beaten with planks with nails in them.

Soweto police spokesman Warrant Officer Kay Makhubela confirmed that eight suspects were arrested after a 19-year-old boy died and were facing charges of murder.

The suspects appeared in the Protea Magistrates Court yesterday and will appear again next week.

Men are well known for cheating. The earlier u adapt to their infidelity lifestyle, the better for u.

another female testified to it. hunnn

Last month PLAYGROUNDTV broke the news that Popular actor and comedian, Olaniyi Afonja, better known as Sanyeri has a secret he’s keeping away from his wife, Awawu Omolara Jimoh and the world.

He has a love-child from one of his longtime intern and girlfriend, Omotoyosi Jaiyesimi. Toyosi, a beautiful lady who has been shuttling as an intern in Sanyeri’ s drama group and fellow actor, Adekola Tijani also known as Kamilu Kampo put to bed a baby girl last month.

Though Sanyeri then denied that he is the owner of the baby, while his 11 months-old marriage almost collapsed.

His wife, Omolara has revealed in a recent interview said she is aware of her husband suspicious move with different women anytime he leaves the house for movie locations.

According to her, “Of course I knew that he fornicates. I can’t be hundred percent sure that he doesn’t have any girlfriend, he has but I have not caught them red-handed. I can’t really describe her but I know that he does. If he plans not to have any girlfriend, the babes will not make that happen because they carry themselves to them and that is the world of entertainment industry for you.

So, it’s a kind of unavoidable. But let’s us wait to see what happens any day I caught him red-handed with any woman. So many people have called me to gossip about his movement but I always ignore it and whenever I ask Mr. Niyi about it, he always deny it and I believe him.

I don’t need to be monitoring my man’s movement because his legs are very long and how long would I do that, so it is normal for men to cheat because that is their nature”.

Dear Niralanders, Is it truely "normal/good" for men to cheat?

APC are just generating income.

Some members of the House of Representatives on Thursday obtained presidential nomination form for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal.
The Representatives stormed the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at about 5pm to collect the form from the National Organizing Secretary of the party, Senator Osita Izunaso.
Shortly after, the Representatives headed for the residence of the Speaker to present the form to him.
It is left to Tambuwal to accept or decline the nomination form.
The Special Adviser on Media to the Speaker, Imam Imam, confirmed that some members of the House had purchased the form for the Speaker.
He said: “Earlier today, some friends and political associates of the Speaker notified him that they have bought presidential nomination forms for him.”

I'm not of if Obj Christianity in terms of forgiveness has up to this stage of getting revenge on ungrateful fellows.

Can you imagine how insults were calling for insults during #Open-Letter era.

All these because of GEJ?? How really I like the name "PDP" but it's disappointing that GEJ always fold my hands.

Must he ruin this party finally.......??

Here is what they wrote about Nigeria https://www.nairaland.com/1974810/what-insult-bbc-describe-nigeria

That man is a pincipality. APC leaders even had a meeting wit him in his house in abeokuta abt a month ago.
I didn't believe Tinubu cld visit Obasanjo. They were avin challenges wit candidates naa ni o. Obasanjo leading Nigeria since 1999.

Should he still be leading?

Nobleval:
Such a pity....this is a very good lesson to all the clueless pro PDP AND APC supporters here. Your "heroes" care less about you.

They only remember you when they want to score a cheap political card....or when they need your votes.

Talking about votes...do you people think your vote really count?

Exactly!
