The ‘Russian’ hack of Democrat Party servers has been dominating headlines recently, people are outraged that outside actors from Russia (Putin) and Sweden (Assange) are trying to manipulate US elections. It is hard to believe, but the Democrats have actually succeeded in deflection attention away from their scandalous leak and towards the Russians.

Wikileaks revealed how the primary system was indeed rigged all along, how the Clinton camp paid of CNN and MSNBC to spin news in her favor and how Democrat elites coordinated to sabotage the Sanders campaign – the head of the DNC even resigned amidst the scandal!

The short attention span of the American public is truly remarkable, less than a week after this leak, Democrats have seemingly all, but forgot about this and moved on. Damage control went into immediate effect and people are now more angry over the notion that ‘those evil Russians are working for Trump’ than about the contents of the leak itself.

Let us just remember for a moment that there is no actual proof yet that the Russians are behind the hack, it is all speculation. The same FBI that investigated Hillary and let her off the hook for her email scandal is now the same agency ‘investigating’ if Russians are behind the hack. Gee, I wonder how that is going to turn out for them….

Don’t get me wrong, Trump has not exactly helped the cause, going on national television the day after and stating that the Russian’s should hack Hillary and find all her deleted emails. Trump later went on to say that he was “being sarcastic“, but the damage was already done. His statements could not have fit in any better with the Democrats rhetoric – blaming the Russians for the attack – and the main stream media has since taken the story and let it run.

What you international readers must realize is that here in the west, there is almost a complete media blackout from Russian news, headlines and information. This is only speculation, but if you were to poll all Americans citizens and ask how many of them have even heard Putin speak once, based on personal experience, I bet less than 10% of US citizens would say they have.

Here in the western world we read and hear about “Russian aggression” on a regular basis. Dating back to the Cold War, US citizens have been taught to fear the Russians and indoctrinated to believe they are the bad guys – instigating and raising tensions around the world. As we are seeing today, this makes them the perfect scapegoat.

But the fact remains, if Russia did indeed hack the Democrats and are responsible for releasing so much damning evidence against them, why didn’t they do this to Republicans? If Russia did this intentionally to sabotage Clinton and ensure Trump would become elected, why are the Russians supporting Trump?

The notion that Trump and Putin are somehow working and coordinating together is completely asinine. Russia does not like or support the United States in any way, shape or fashion. If you have any quarrels about this, listen to Putin’s speech from just a few weeks ago.

If Putin and Russian’s are indeed trying to effect the American elections and support Trump, it is not because he is working with Trump, it is because Russia believes a Trump presidency would be a disaster for the west and therefore to the benefit of Russia.

Over the years, Russia and China have developed a close relationship. They are military partners, regularly conducting military drills with one another and have even signed a mutual defense pact. Their economic and political philosophies are closely aligned and they share the same common interests.

Earlier this year in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, China’s Finance Minister Lou Jiwei called Donald Trump “irrational” adding that “the United States wouldn’t be entitled to world leadership” if it elected a man like Donald Trump as President. He went on to explain how Trumps proposals, particularly towards the World Trade Organization and China would be an economic disaster, explaining how China’s economy is more intertwined with the United States than Trump realizes.

With the close relationship between China and Russia in modern times, with leaders of the Chinese government openly stating a Trump Presidency would be a disaster for the United States, it is no stretch to wonder why Russia would try to work to get Trump elected. It is not because Russia and Trump are best buddies, secretly working behind the scenes together, it is because Russia, like China, believes that Trump is an absolute joke and a Trump presidency would be in Russia’s best national interest.

The format for the lecture will be that of a panel of insightful discussants with diverse sectorial expertise and erudition.

Outlined panelists for the 2016 AELEX lecture are:
His Excellency, Mr. Donald Duke (CON), Former Governor of Cross River;

The question is "what make states work and how can we get out of recession with a working states"

I need a logical and constructive response to above post.

Sir Olaniwun Ajayi. A great Icon

Spokesperson of the Northern Elder’s Forum (NEF), Prof. Ango Abdullahi has said that the way out the current economic recession is not selling national assets but sacking federal government workers.

He made the statement in an interview with Vanguard. The former presidential adviser on agriculture and food security said that sacking 50 per cent of the country’s public service workforce or the reduction of its federal government’s cost by 50 per cent or both could save the day. READ ALSO: 123 terrorists killed in anti-Boko Haram operations He said: “The Present recession was hinged on the fact that 2016 budget was pegged at N6 trillion with recurrent taking N4 trillion, while N2 trillion is set aside for capital project. “Nigeria is a poor country and it is consumption based. We import and consume and we hardly produce. “Yet we have a very unproductive workforce. Nigeria workforce is not the productive type, but it takes a good chunk of the budget every year.

This year, they said that of the N6 trillion appropriated, only N2 trillion will be generated. The rest N4 trillion would have to be sought from somewhere else. And now we are in a recession. So, I will suggest two ways from which we can get out of recession. We must cut down unproductive spending. “And I am suggesting two ways in which we can do this and they are simple. The first one will not be socially and politically good. I will advise we go for the second one. “The first one is that we have to reduce the workforce by 50%. We are talking of a large unproductive workforce with a minimum wage of N18,000 per month both at the Federal, State and Local Government levels. But, I know that it will be difficult to achieve that one.

“The second one is that we can cut salary and allowances of the workforce by 50%. Nigeria has become poor, so we have to consume less. “What kind of workforce do we have that cannot produce 5000Mw of electricity, that cannot fix broken schools, roads etc? “The idea of the National Economic Council, NEC, that our national assets should be disposed of is bad and unacceptable. Their argument cannot fly. Look at NEPA. It is a public company that is over 100 years old. It was sold to the same people who vandalised the economy and made it not to work. Is NEPA any better today? “They have stolen enough dollars and rubbished the Naira. In short time, the Naira has been devalued by over 200%. These are people who have stashed away dollars. They want Nigeria’s assets to be sold to them as scraps.

“If Government is serious about the economy, the best sector to give attention is agriculture. Agriculture alone makes 40% of our GDP. But this year, only 1.2% of the budget was committed to agriculture. “Agriculture is the solution to our economy not oil. From 1914 to 1974 everything this country got to develop the oil sector was from agriculture. They are not serious about diversifying the economy. They are only interested in a bloated budget. “Today Nigeria is broke. As I have said, the recurrent should be cut down. Labour, Federal Government, the National Assembly and all relevant sectors should dialogue over this. Our National assets must never be sold. “It is unfortunate that all the campaign promises made by this government are not being kept. They told us during their campaigns, ‘Nigeria is an oil producing country why should we buy fuel for N87 per litre? When you vote us to power, we shall sell fuel for N55per litre. Today Fuel is officially N145 per litre.’ “In place of a strong Naira, within weeks the Naira went from N197 to a dollar to about N420. And they are the ones who had the money to mop up the dollar. Now, they want to sell our collective heritage so that they can come out with their dollars and buy. That is unacceptable.

The beginning of the END

Secession is the lasting solution.

Before we jump the gun it is necessary to state that according to the Constitution, Section 36(5), Sambo Dasuki is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a competent court of law. The intention of this piece is far from to pronounce him either guilty or innocent, but to X-ray the implication of the decision made by his office on the national image.

May I ask which law court is not competent to handler a particular criminal case.

Have you experienced this embarrassing situation before where you confidently walk into a bank to cash a cheque only to be told by the cashier that there is no money in the account? This has happened to a lot of people and that type of cheque is known as a dud cheque.

A dud cheque is a worthless cheque that cannot be paid because the person who issued the cheque does not have sufficient money or has no money at all in his bank account...

Once you receive a dud cheque, make sure that the bank makes the proper entries in its register and also on the returned cheque so that you can use it as evidence, if need be.

It is a criminal offence to issue a dud cheque; an individual who is found guilty of this will be sentenced to 2 years imprisonment while a corporate body will be fined a minimum of N5 million. Anybody who issues a dud cheque can be prosecuted and sent to prison. It is a financial crime that is handled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

There is no statute of limitation for criminal offences and since issuance of dud cheques is a criminal offence, there is no statute of limitation to bring an action against the person.

Issuance of dud cheques is an act of fraud that breeds lack of trust among business partners and affects smooth business relations. It should be discouraged as much as possible.

Lots of people go ahead to issue cheques even when they know that they do not have sufficient money in their accounts. Unfortunately, people who receive dud cheques are not aware that the issuer of the cheque can be prosecuted so they do nothing about it.

In some other cases, people issue dud cheques unintentionally because they are probably expecting some money in their account or they have been debited for a transaction they were not prepared for. That is why it is encouraged that investigations are carried out to know the exact reason behind the worthless cheque.

If you have been issued a dud cheque, you have basically two options. You can choose to report the matter to EFCC so that they can institute criminal proceedings in court against the person. Some people are however not interested in dragging the person to court because of the stress and time that will be spent; they would rather just get their money and be done with it.

You also have a second option of amicable settlement or mediation between yourself and the person who issued the dud cheque to resolve the matter. You can bring a civil action against the person who issued the cheque so that you can get full value of the cheque.

It is advisable to get a lawyer who will provide suitable advice on the best line of action to take but it is important to act quickly.

This is an interesting event we implore brothers and sisters in islam to attend.

Lots of fun awaiting you and your children

Allah is generous in His bounty to those who are generous in this life. He announces good tidings in both worlds to His faithful servants who strive to win His favor, fear and respect Him, obey the Qur'an as best as they can, and tell others of the Qur'an's morality. While still in this world, believers are honored with blessings that resemble those of Paradise.

Except for those who repent, believe, and act rightly. Allah will transform the wrong actions of such people into good – Allah is Ever-Forgiving,
Most Merciful. (Surat al-Furqan, 70)

The Qur'an reveals that those who do good will enjoy many blessings:

Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will give them a good life and recompense them according to the best of what they did. (Surat an-Nahl, 97)
… "Good!" There is good in this world for those who do good, and the abode of the Hereafter is even better. How wonderful is the abode of those who guard against evil. (Surat an-Nahl, 30)


Abraham was a community in himself, exemplary, obedient to Allah, a man of pure natural belief. He was not an idolater. He was thankful for His blessings. Allah chose him and guided him to a straight path. We gave him good in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the righteous. (Surat an-Nahl, 120-122)

From the Qur'an, we learn that it announced blessings first for the prophets and sincere believers. For example, Allah made our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) wealthy in this life, "Did He not find you impoverished and enrich you?" (Surat ad-Duha, . In addition, David (pbuh), Solomon (pbuh), Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh), Abraham (pbuh) and his family all enjoyed great wealth.

It is a glad tiding from Allah that His faithful servants receive wonderful blessings in this life both as a reward and as a source of joy, and as an indication of His generosity and protection. Just as the unbelievers' eternal pangs begin in this life, so do the believers begin to receive the eternal blessings promised to them.

Another blessing on the sincere believers is that their bad deeds are changed into good. As we said earlier, a human being is a creature that can easily make mistakes. A person may fall into error, commit sins unknowingly, behave incorrectly and say bad things. But the important thing is that he later repents of these errors and corrects his behavior. To His servants with such a sincere morality, our Lord gives glad tidings in the Qur'an:

Those are people whose best deeds will be accepted, and whose wrong deeds will be overlooked. They are among the Companions of the Garden, in fulfillment of the true promise made to them. (Surat al-Ahqaf, 16)

These glad tidings manifest the All-Merciful and Most Merciful Allah's endless generosity to His servants, as does His changing of bad deeds into good. The Qur'an tells us of this in the following words:

Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a mumin, We will give them a good life and We will recompense them according to the best of what they did.
(Surat an-Nahl, 97)

Except for those who repent, believe, and act rightly: Allah will transform the wrong actions of such people into good – Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. For certainly all who repent and act rightly have turned sincerely toward Allah. (Surat al-Furqan, 70-71)

But as for those who believe, do right actions, and believe in what has been sent down to Muhammad – and it is the truth from their Lord – He will erase their bad actions and improve their condition. (Surah Muhammad, 2)

Believers believe in Allah Who created them, obey His commands and prohibitions, live according to the Qur'an's morality, and, most importantly, have great hope and expectation for the Afterlife. As a result, they are far removed from all sadness and spiritual anxiety, for they believe in destiny and that Allah has created everything. And so they submit to whatever happens, for "nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us"(Surat at-Tawba, 51). They seek Allah's favor and say: "Allah is enough for us and the Best of Guardians" (Surah Al 'Imran, 173).

Since the world is a place of trial, believers will encounter hunger, illness, sleeplessness, accidents, material loss, and other hardships as part of their destiny. Understanding that these events were designed to test their belief and that their patience will be the source of their eternal reward in the Hereafter, they also realize that these ordeals will help them mature. Thus they entrust themselves to Allah and remain content, joyful, and happy, free of all anxiety and spiritual imbalance. In fact, their joy and excitement actually increase.

This situation is quite the opposite for the unbelievers, for they suffer spiritual distress and various kinds of physical pain. Their sense of fear, despair, apprehension, pessimism, and negativity are the first stirrings of the pain they will suffer in Hell. In the Qur'an, Allah describes those people who deviate from the true path:

When Allah wills to guide someone, He expands his [or her] breast to Islam. When He wills to misguide someone, He makes his [or her] breast narrow and constricted, as if he [or] she were climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles the unbelievers. (Surat al-An'am, 125)

For certainly all who repent and act rightly have turned
sincerely toward Allah.
(Surat al-Furqan, 71)

Allah will show His kindness to those believers who approach Him with fear and awe, repent, and ask forgiveness. If they are sincere, they will receive many wonderful blessings in this life:

Ask your Lord for forgiveness, and then repent to Him. He will let you enjoy a good life until a specified time, and will give His favor to all who merit it. But if you turn your backs, I fear for you the punishment of a Mighty Day. (Surah Hud, 3)

Believers do good to win Allah's approval and mercy so that they may attain Paradise. All they want is to serve and please Him; they have no desire to serve or seek any person's favor or respect, to acquire high rank or position. They fear, respect, and love Allah, always remembering that He is their sole friend and advocate. In the Qur'an, the Lord tells us that His devoted servants will be rewarded with a great and never-ending reward, that this reward will be perfect in all respects and that it will be given to them twice over:

When it is recited to them they, say: "We believe in it; it is the truth from our Lord. We were already Muslims [bowing down to Allah] before this came. They will be given their reward twice over, because they have been steadfast, warded off the bad with the good, and gave from what We provided them. (Surat al-Qasas, 53-54)

Those who believe and do right actions will have a wage that never fails. (Surah Fussilat,

[O Prophet, tell your wives:] "But if you desire Allah, His Messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter, Allah has prepared an immense reward for those among you who do good." (Surat al-Ahzab, 29)

As for those who believe and do right actions, We will erase their bad actions and recompense them for the best of what they did.
(Surat al-Ankabut, 7)

Those who recite the Book of Allah, pray, and give of what We have provided for them, secretly and openly, hope for a transaction that will not prove profitless. [Believers hope] that He will pay them their wages in full and give them more from His unbounded favor. He is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Thankful. (Surah Fatir, 29-30)

But those of you who obey Allah and His Messenger and act rightly will be given their reward twice over; and We have prepared generous provision for them. (Surat al-Ahzab, 31)

Those who produce a good action will receive ten like it. But those who produce a bad action will only be repaid with its equivalent; they will not be wronged. (Surat al-An'am, 160)

Men and women who are Muslims, men and women who are believers, men and women who are obedient, men and women who are truthful, men and women who are steadfast, men and women who are humble, men and women who give charity, men and women who fast, men and women who guard their chastity, men and women who remember Allah much: Allah has prepared forgiveness for them and an immense reward. (Surat al-Ahzab, 35)

We see in the above verses that Allah promises a great reward in return for His servants' sincere efforts to win His favor, do good, and spread the Qur'an's morality to all around them. The greatest reward is earning Allah's favor. Moreover, Allah promises a great and generous reward to those believers whose only goal in this life is to win His favor and mercy and attain Paradise. Another reward announced in the Qur'an is that the Lord will encompass these sincere believers with His mercy:

As for those who believed and did right actions, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is the Clear Victory. (Surat at-Jathiyya, 30)

No matter what conditions believers live under, they always trust in Allah, turn to Him, think about pleasing Him, and never compromise the Qur'an's morality. For this reason, Allah's mercy, love, and generosity are always with them. Allah has announced good tidings to His sincere servants who sincerely try to follow His way and gladly spend their energy and resources to win His favor; as a reward for what they have done, they will be endowed with blessings that will never end;

There is good news for them [the believers] in this world and in the Hereafter. There is no changing of Allah's words. That is the great victory! (Surah Yunus, 64)

Their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy and good pleasure, and Gardens in which they will enjoy everlasting delight. (Surat at-Tawba, 21)

In other words, Allah has given to believers the good tidings of Paradise, revealed that He will accept all of their good works, and that the beauty and happiness they will attain is very near. The knowledge that Allah's endless mercy and love are always with them, as well as the hope that He will reward them with Paradise give the believers' great contentment and relief. Allah also says that these glad tidings will be announced to believers by angels:

The angels descend on those who say "Our Lord is Allah" and then go straight: "Do not fear and do not grieve; rather, rejoice in the Garden you have been promised." (Surah Fussilat, 30)

As for those who believe and do right actions, We will lodge them in lofty chambers in the Garden, with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, forever. How excellent is the reward of those who do (good). Those who are steadfast and put their trust in their Lord.
(Surat al-Ankabut, 58-59)

These glad tidings can be seen in the lives of several prophets mentioned in the Qur'an. For example, Allah answered Solomon's (pbuh) prayer: "My Lord, forgive me and give me a kingdom the like of which will never be granted to anyone after me. Truly, You are the Ever-Giving"(Surah Sad, 35), and gave him great possessions in this world. Elsewhere, the Qur'an mentions that great wealth and resources were given to prophets. As a generous reward, Allah has made believers inheritors of many blessings and beautiful things in Paradise. Along with this, He gives them blessings in this life and increases their closeness to Himself, as well as their zeal and desire for Paradise.

Allah promises that believers will always be happy and secure in this world, that He will give them strength and power to live under the rule of the moral teachings of the Qur'an:

Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land, just as He made those before them successors; will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased; and give them, in place of their fear, security. "They worship Me, not associating anything with Me." Any who do not believe after that, such people are rebels. (Surat an-Nur, 55)

This is Allah's promise to all believers. Believers must thank and praise Him constantly for His incomparable generosity.

With Allah's permission, those who obey the Qur'an, listen to the Qur'an's advice, and prepare themselves for the Afterlife will live a good and endless life without defect and cleansed of all sin. Believers who follow the Qur'an's advice, show trust, submit when told to do so, and fear and respect Allah will enter His presence purified on Judgment Day.

This life will be eternal, as a manifestation of His name All-Merciful and Most Merciful, and every believer will give Him endless praise. As the Qur'an says:

As for those who believe and do right actions, We will admit them
among the righteous. (Surat al-Ankabut, 9)

Those who shun the worship of false deities and turn toward Allah will have good news. So give good news to My servants. Those who listen well to what is said and follow the best of it are the ones whom Allah has guided. They are the people of intelligence. (Surat az-Zumar, 17-18)

Elsewhere in the Qur'an, Allah tells us that, when that day comes, those who fear and respect Him will be greeted warmly at the gates of Paradise:

And those who fear [and respect] their Lord will be driven to the Garden in companies. When they arrive there, finding its gates open, its custodians will say to them: "Peace be upon you. You have done well, so enter it timelessly, forever." They will reply: "Praise be to Allah, Who has fulfilled His promise to us and made us the inheritors of this land, letting us settle in the Garden wherever we want. How excellent is the wage of those who work!" (Surat az-Zumar, 73-74)

Certainly, the best news people can receive is that they will live forever in Paradise, and that they will be welcomed by angels at the gate of Paradise as a reward for what they have done. These are glad tidings for those who listen well and follow the Qur'an's morality.

Believers, unlike unbelievers, have been promised that they will be welcomed upon their deaths by the beautiful words of angels, that their souls will be taken gently, and that their life in Paradise will begin:

[Those who guard against evil are] those the angels take in a virtuous state. They say: "Peace be upon you. Enter the Garden for what you did." (Surat an-Nahl, 32)

Allah has promised all of these things to those who submit sincerely to Him. Indeed, the endless life of Paradise will be His greatest reward to those who live according to the Qur'an's morality and thus enjoy the contentment sent by Him.

Their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy and good pleasure, and of Gardens in which they will enjoy everlasting delight. (Surat at-Tawba, 21)

Congratulation to you, Gov Bello

Though the tongue may seem like a simple organ, it has a wide range of purposes, such as licking, breathing, tasting, swallowing and articulating speech. Its many talents are due to the construction of the tongue.

Size

Typically a human tongue is around 3.3 inches (8.5 centimeters) for men and 3.1 inches (7.9 cm) for women. The world's longest tongue is 3.97 inches (10.1 cm) long, from the tip to the middle of the closed top lip, and belongs to Nick Stoeberl of Salinas, California, according to Guinness Book of World Records. The longest toungue for a woman is 3.8 inches (9.75 cm).

Function

The tongue consists of eight interwoven, striated muscles that can move in any direction, making it quite flexible. Throughout the muscles are glands and fat, while the outside is covered by a mucus membrane. The top of the tongue, also called the dorsum, is covered with papillae, tiny nodes that contain the taste buds and the serous glands

The serous glands secrete some of the fluid found in saliva, while the taste buds taste food through receptors that send information to the brain. Receptors are nerve endings that have a chemical reaction to the food that is being eaten. There are different reactors for different types of flavors, and there are around 50 to 150 taste receptor cells inside each taste bud.

It is a myth that different parts of the tongue taste different things. While it is true that different receptors taste different flavors, these various receptors are bunched in four places on the tongue. Most of the taste receptors are found on the tip of the tongue.

The bottom of the tongue is smooth. Its purple color comes from the many blood vessels that run along the bottom of the tongue.

The root of the tongue is the bottom part of the tongue that can't be seen. It has arteries, bundles of nerves and muscles that branch out to the rest of the tongue.

Sticking it out

Sticking out your tongue is considered unacceptable behavior in many cultures, but it is a sign of respect in others, according to Bright Hub Education. In Tibet, sticking out the tongue is a greeting. When two people meet, they stick out their tongues at each other. Among the Maori people of New Zealand, sticking out the tongue is part of a war chant and is meant to intimidate the enemy. If a Maori woman sticks out her tongue, it is a sign of defiance.

Many people make the mistake of filling 234 as Nigeria Zip code, this is wrong. ZIP (Zone Improvement Plan) codes apply to the United State only. 234 that many regard as Nigeria zipcode is actually the international dialing code for Nigerian phone numbers What is used for other countries is Post Code. The code serve the same function in different both US and non-US states. Show me the Nigeria zip code Whenever you are prompted to fill in the zip code for Nigeria; Ekiti state zip code or zip code for Lagos, you don't need any Nigeria zip code finder. What you should use are: 110001, 23401 or 00176. Any of these codes should work. So when anyone ask for Nigeria zip code list, what you should give is a list of all Nigeria postal codes for different states. In essence Nigeria postal zipcode, Nigeria zip code and postal code mean the same thing.

Have a look at a list of all Nigeria's post codes

The Lagos state House of Assembly has disagreed with the request by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s attorney general and commissioner for justice, Adeniji Kazeem, to suspend some bills supposedly inherited from the previous Assembly.

The House however, categorically said that the attorney general did not have the power to ask it to suspend the bills, saying that the fact that he had requested for the revival of the bills made the latest request unnecessary, Daily Post reports.

In line with that, the Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, on Monday, November 23, was reported to have ordered the clerk of the House, Ganiyu Segun Abiru, to invite Kazeem for a meeting with the principal officers of the state hallowed chambers over the request.

According to the report, the commissioner, was apparently acting on Ambode’s directive, as regards asking the 8th Assembly to stop legislative activities on outstanding Bills inherited from the previous assembly.

The commissioner of justice was reported to have listed 15 bills in the letter which he proposed to be suspended.

Speaking on the heels of the disagreement, the majority leader of the Lagos state House of Assembly, Sanai Agunbiade, opposed the Attorney General’s request, saying: “We cannot stop work on the bills as requested by the Attorney General. So, I will suggest that we should continue working on them.”

Similarly, Gbolahan Yishawu said the executive could send any addition to the bills rather than calling for the suspension of works on them, adding that each arm of the government had its own responsibilities.

The Bills requested for suspension are as follow:

Lagos State Public Private Partnership Amendment bill 2013

Lagos State Sunset Agency bill 2013

Lagos State Police Regulatory Authority bill 2014

Lagos State Public Works Corporation 2014

Lagos State Examination Board bill 2014

Seal of Lagos State Government Amendment bill 2014

Lagos State Public Procurement Agency repeal and re-enactment bill 2014

Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection bill 2014.

Lagos State Tourism Promotion Agency bill 2014,

Ibile Holding Corporation bill 2014

Lagos State Safety Commission swimming Pool Regulations 2014

Lagos State Water Infrastructure Development Fishery Regulation Bill 2014

Lagos State Waterways Authority boat safety regulation 2014

However, it was also reported that Ibile Oil and Gas was already a law and that it should not have been part of the bills suggested for suspension by Governor Ambode’s attorney general.

Meanwhile, Adewale Omirin, a former speaker of Ekiti state House of Assembly recently accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of trying to blackmail him following his attempt to reverse his impeachment.l

In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful

The word mercy comes from the Arabic rahama, meaning pity, protect, compassion and forgiveness. The name All-Merciful and Most Merciful of our Lord comes from this root. The adjective All-Merciful, which is used in the Qur'an only for Allah means "He Whose mercy embraces everything; Who wishes goodness, mercy, and beauty for all created things; Who imparts countless blessings without distinguishing who He loves from who He does not" The adjective Most Merciful, which is also used for our Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him in peace) (Surat at-Tawba, 128)

when refers to Allah, means "He Whose mercy embraces only believers in the Hereafter, Who rewards those Who use His blessings well with greater and infinite blessings."

The name of Allah All-Merciful and Most Merciful is repeated numerous times in other verses of the Qur'an. All the surahs in the Qur'an except Surat at-Tawba, begins with the ascription in the name of Allah, the All-Merciful and Most Merciful. The name All Merciful of our Lord has a wide range of meanings: protecting, pitying, compassionate, and merciful names of Allah are all manifestations of Allah's name All Merciful.

His mercy encompasses all things and is limitless, timeless, and eternal. Of all those who show mercy, our Lord is the Most Merciful. The Qur'an tells us that Job (pbuh) used this beautiful name in his prayers:

And Job, when he called out to his Lord: "Great harm has afflicted me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful." (Surat al-Anbiya, 83)

Allah the All Merciful manifests His infinite mercy in everything seen and unseen. It is possible to see the All-Merciful name of Allah in the miracles of creation pervading the universe; the creation of humans and in the billions of details in the human body; in animals, food, drink, water, and air. In short, in every aspect of the universe. The universe manifests this mercy, for only He makes countless seeds sprout from under the ground; creates fruits and vegetables, sends down rain, feeds and nourishes the infinite number of creatures inhabiting our world; and creates the oxygen that life needs to survive. Our Lord surrounds every being with countless blessings, and thus no being can prevent the appreciation, generosity, and favor He shows toward humanity. In Surah Fatir our Lord announces His infinite Mercy upon the humans as below:

Any mercy Allah opens up to people, no one can withhold; any He withholds, no one can afterwards release. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surah Fatir, 2)

Does He Who created not know? He is the All-Pervading, the All-Aware. He made the land submissive to you, so walk its broad trails and eat what it provides.
The Resurrection is to Him.
(Surat al-Mulk, 14-15)

Every creature living on this planet, including human beings, can survive only if numerous conditions are met every moment, such as the existence of oxygen for them to breathe in, water and food for them to sustain their ability to carry out the countless processes. Moreover billions of processes take place in the human body every second. For the continuance of life, every single cell performs its own tasks upon Allah's will. Even one single person's survival, meeting all his physical needs, is bound to infinite number of details. Our Lord with his endless mercy has predetermined and supplied whatever is necessary.

He created human beings and placed them in the most suitable place to live. In return, all that human beings have to do is to be His servants. One manifestation of His name All-Merciful and Most Merciful is His sending of holy books through his Messengers to enable human beings to find the true path, and Prophets to explain the verses in ways that they could understand. In this way, Allah revealed Himself and invited them to the beauties of religious morality and told them how to lead a superior moral life. All of these things are clear evidence of our Lord's endless mercy.

The unbelievers, idolaters, and hypocrites benefit from the air, water, and all blessings that Allah has bestowed, in His endless mercy, upon humanity: property and possessions, a beautiful house and children, sustenance, health, strength, and beauty. These are all manifestations of Allah's infinite mercy. He does so in order to draw all people toward His religion and so that they will think reasonably and thank Him. Those who, nevertheless, continue to reject Allah will find that these blessings will only increase their misery. Those who turn away from Allah will enjoy these blessings throughout this short and temporary earthly life, while in the Hereafter, all of these blessings will belong to the believers who strove to draw near to Allah, earn His favor, and thanked Him without pause. Allah is eternal Justice and has announced the good news of Paradise, adorned with incomparable blessings, to the believers:

"Prescribe good for us in this world and the Hereafter. We have truly turned to You." He said: "As for My punishment, I strike with it anyone I will. My mercy extends to all things, but I will prescribe it for those who guard against evil and give alms, and those who believe in Our Signs. (Surat al-A'raf, 156)

… Gardens of Eden, which the All-Merciful has promised to His servants in the Unseen. His promise is always kept. (Surah Maryam, 61)

He admits whoever He wills into His mercy. But He has prepared a painful punishment for the wrongdoers. (Surat al-Insan, 31)
