“Charity begins at home. But this should end in
homes alone. Parents should help police to
tackle cultism in their respective localities.
They should endeavor to report to the nearest
police station around them if they suspect

Religion / Difference Between Preacher And Pastor. by tinziemaine(m): 8:07am On Oct 09, 2016 |
PREACHER VS PASTOR People of Christian faith are often confused between two of the prominent figures of a congregation ‘“ the pastor and the preacher. Most people use the terms interchangeably, which can be fine for some since some pastors are also preachers. Even church members mistake one with the other and most of the time, they are corrected by the said pastor or preacher. Preachers, technically, are the ones who proclaim and spread the word of God. They are usually great motivational speakers. Preachers do not necessarily perform pastoral works unless that particular preacher is also a pastor by vocation. However, it is not common for pastors nowadays, to also become preachers of their congregation. Usually, there is someone else given with the duty to preach ‘“ such as a preacher. The term pastor is rooted on its meaning or origin as ‘shepherd’. Since shepherd is associated as an overseer of the flock, it is just appropriate that an overseer of a congregation is called a shepherd. Pastors, being shepherds, guide their church members towards salvation. Technically, pastors functions as a physical, spiritual, relational and social administrator of a congregation. Often, pastors are called elders. They are the local church leaders. They are qualified to give counsel to those in need of spiritual, emotional, and even financial help. They are the authority of the local congregation but shall not exceed outside of it. In some cases, there is a possibility that a man can serve both functions — being a pastor and a preacher. It is fine but somehow, administering a local congregation is a great deal of work. Preaching is one of the duties that a pastor usually surrenders. Therefore, preachers are often designated to assist in the task of proclaiming the word of God. Summary 1. A preacher has a job that emphasizes more on proclaiming the words of God or the teachings of the Bible and Jesus Christ while a pastor’s job is the oversight of a particular congregation. 2. Pastors can become preachers by means of performing the acts of preaching while preachers can be any member of the church with strong public communication skills. 3. Pastors administer the congregation and its members while preachers are often assistants to pastors to preach the word of God to church members. 4. In terms of prominence, pastors often ranks higher than preachers. However, it should be noted that there can be preacher bishops who are certainly more prominent than pastors.

Religion / Pope Francis Says Qur'an And Bible Teach The Same . by tinziemaine(m): 7:54am On Oct 09, 2016 |
On Monday the Bishop Of Rome addressed Catholic followers regarding the dire importance of exhibiting religious tolerance. During his hour-long speech, a smiling Pope Francis was quoted telling the Vatican’s guests that the Koran, and the spiritual teachings contained therein, are just as valid as the Holy Bible. “Jesus Christ, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world. For centuries, blood has been needlessly shed because of the desire to segregate our faiths. This, however, should be the very concept which unites us as people, as nations, and as a world bound by faith. Together, we can bring about an unprecedented age of peace, all we need to achieve such a state is respect each others beliefs, for we are all children of God regardless of the name we chooseto address him by. We can accomplish miraculous things in the world by merging our faiths, and the time for such a movement is now. No longer shall we slaughter our neighbors over differences in referenceto their God.” The pontiff drew harsh criticisms in December after photos of the 78-year-old Catholic leader was released depicting Pope Francis kissing a Koran. The Muslim Holy Book was given to Francis during a meeting with Muslim leaders after a lengthy Muslim prayer held at the Vatican. St. John Paul II has courted several controversies since being elected as Pope Benedicto XVI’s replacement in 2013. Francis has gone on record to say that homosexuals are not to be judged, Proselytism is nonsense and has endorsed the usage of contraceptive by Catholics. The Vatican will meet again with Muslim leaders in late February where they plan to talk about further steps that can be taken to spread understanding and awareness of the Islamic religion. nationalreport.net/pope-francis-followers-koran-holy-bible/ Cc:lalasticlala Cc:HERSLEY Cc:berlynn 1 Like

Crime / DSS Says It Recovered Over N270m From 3 Judges’ Residence by tinziemaine(m): 7:51pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
The Department of State Services, DSS yesterday said it recovered over N270 Million from the residences of three judges following its simultaneous raids on Friday night of the residences of over seven justices of the Supreme, Federal and high courts across the country. A break down of the monies recovered from the residences of the unnamed three justices include N93,558,000; $530,087; £25,970 and €5,680. Addressing a press conference at the DSS headquarters yesterday to explained why it carried out the raids, an official of the service, Mallam Garba Abdullahi said it was aimed at restoring “sanity and sanctity to the esteemed third arm of government”. According to Mallam Garba, a planned raid on the residence of a judge in Rivers where the service, he said, had intelligence that he had $2million in cash at home was frustrated by Governor Nyesom Wike who brought in thugs to prevent the service from carrying out its mission in connivance with an unnamed sister security agency. He explained that the operations were based on allegations of corruptions and other acts of professional misconduct by the suspected justices. The DSS official further defended the action of the service saying it was in line with us core mandate, adding that the affected justice’s “expensive and luxurious” lifestyle was being monitored by the service for some time www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/dss-says-it-recovered-over-n270-million-from-3-judges-residence/ Cc:lalasticlala Cc:HERSLEY |
Politics / How The North Tamed Yoruba Ambition – Tanko Yakassai by tinziemaine(m): 10:25am On Oct 08, 2016 |
•Says restructuring a Yoruba agenda •Renewed agitation is gang up against north •Why the north continues to dominate Nigerian politics By Abdulsalam Mohammed, Kano When the Action Group sent a large contingent of lawyers to Bornu to fight the NPC tactics, the NPC got the lawyers arrested immediately they arrived and sent them to detention centre. They were made to remove their shoes, their wigs and trekked to detention centres where they were all locked up. Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, elder statesman is known for his frankness when it comes to issues of national interest. In this interview with Saturday Vanguard, he took us down memory lane and declared that the renewed agitation for restructuring of the country was a Yoruba agenda that has refused die Excerpts: Nigeria is 56 years old, what can you say of the journey so far? Before we can objectively assess how far we have gone, we have to take stock of what we have been able to achieve so far and also look at where we have failed. At independence, the British created a democratic system of government which was followed by our leaders who took over from them. We madeappreciable progress in the transportation sector. Although the British left us with a functional rail system, our leaders however extended the rail to boost the transport system in Nigeria . On water transportation they decided to dredge the river Niger to facilitate water transportation to the north for increased commercial activities. By independence, the road from Kano to Lagos was not tarred like several other major roads we have today, but the story is different today. Thousands of kilometer of road network has also been built across the country. As at the time of independence, roads were classified as federal road, regional road and local roads. If you look at the statistics, you would agree with me that a tremendous progress was made in this sector. Similarly, we have Nigeria Airways, Nigerian National Shipping Line, we built a number steel industries such as Ajaokuta and Katsina steel, as well as Jos steel rolling mill and host of others. I can vividly recall that by 1959, the only tertiary institution we had was the University College, Ibadan which was not even a full fledged university, but today, we have over one hundred tertiary institutions. But for the misfortune we had to be ruled by the military, our progress would have surpassed that of our peers then in the world like Brazil, India, Korea, Pakistan, Malaysisa, and Singapore. Brazil today has an edge as it has started producing home grown automobile at a time Nigeria’s assembly plants such as Peougeot, leyland and host of others are either moribund or have packed up. Three military coups that took place in Nigeria destroyed our future. The 1966 coup destroyed the foundation of our political development. That single sabotage destroyed the foundation of the leadership, and without leadership, you can not achieve anything in this world. The second coup of 1975 destroyed the fabrics of the civil service of Nigeria, because the tenure security of civil service as practised globally was compromised. In the civil service, there was due process to be followed. Those who committed an infraction would be warned and queried, and if it happened again, the same processes must take place. Unfortunately under the military, a permanent secretary would leave his home to his office only to be informed by his messenger that he had been dismissed via a radio broadcast. Faithfulness was sacrificed. The affected officials were not only dismissed but they also lost their gratuity and pension. Therefore, civil servants who hitherto flaunted unflinching loyalty started registering companies for business. The morale, the commitment, and loyalty of civil servants were destroyed over night and after the destruction of political leadership, the man who would develop the idea, and the other that would translate it to reality are destroyed, then what is left. That was how the fabric of the society was destroyed. By the time the Sardauna, Awolowo, and Azikiwe started their development effort, they were working side by side with the people who would take over from them before they were overthrown in 1966 and between 1966 and 1979, it was military rule all through for 13 years. Luckily, we still had the disciples of the first generation of leadership, people like Bola Ige, Shehu Shagari, Lateef Jakande, Maitma sule, Michael Okpara. During the second republic, we attempted to replicate what our political leaders started in the first Republic. These disciples started with a brand new constitution, and were learning fast on the new constitution when the military struck again in 1983. They held onto power for 19 years before handing over to one of their own again in civilian uniform. General Obasanjo was tactically released from prison while the military was in a hurry to create their own version of Mandela, but they forgot it was a different scenario. Obasanjo was in power for eight years, and went ahead to install his successors in office. General Obasanjo’s style of leadership was purely military in nature as he bulldozed his way to get whatever he wanted with complete disregard to democratic ethos. Now we are back to the same situation under General Buhari. These are the reasons we have a stunted growth and what happened over these long years since independence was a big step forward and a multiple steps backwards. Nigeria needs a brand new experiment on democracy where every actor would be a bloody civilian to enable us rediscover our self. Don’t you think that bitter political rivalry among the elites across the country was equally responsible for our stunted growth? No, no. The struggle for power was on a personal basis or how do you explain IBB coup against Buhari, how do you explain Vatsa abortive coup against IBB, it was purely a military thing, not North and south thing. Can we continue to live like this? No, we can not continue to live like this because it is wrong, and I am praying that we will in not too distant future have a leadership that will be committed to the Nigerian project, that would not think of where he hails from, that would not be bias, no nepotism, but think of the totality of Nigeria, while appointment would be guided by competence and not because of friendship. But the problem with the military is that when they are in power they appoint friends and relatives. And you can see what is happening now under Buhari, the military mentality of appointing people close to you. We can only get out of it when we insist on having a pure democracy. You cannot have it when the man at the helm of affairs is half military and half civilian. Why are you so afraid of restructuring Nigeria? No, no, this kind of agitation is not driven by patriotism, it is driven by hate and envy. I will tell you the genesis of this campaign, it started with some politicians in the south west way back in 1959… Are you saying agitation for restructuring preceded independence? Yes, before the independence. Originally, Action Group as a political party was not formed to rule Nigeria. The leaders of Action Group were only interested in controlling the Western Nigeria. It was their intention to make the western Nigeria first among equals and in fairness to Awolowo, he declared free education that placed the Yorubas ahead of other ethnic groups in Nigeria. They produced first class lawyers, engineers, quantity surveyors, architects and other quality professionals. But human nature been what it is, they realized that when you have knowledge, there is need to control political power, and that was how they started the idea of ruling Nigeria. This was captured in a document tagged Yoruba Agenda. In that idea on how to rule Nigeria, they plotted to secure the largest representation in the parliament which would put them at an advantage to form Government. Their calculation was to support the minority in the North and consolidate on the home soil and in the process secure the nod to form Government. They planned well, made alliance with minority groups in the north, and in the east as well, and provided the desired fund for the project. But as they were planning, the NPC also planned. Already, the constitution guaranteed the north to provide 50 percent of the elected representatives of national legislators and NPC concentrated her effort on that in the north and they never in 1959 bothered to sponsor a single candidate in the whole of southern Nigeria because the calculation was to capture the fifty percent to form the largest block. Subsequently, they employed all sorts of tricks, both wholesome and unwholesome. Opponents were harassed, intimidated, hounded into jail, and if you go through the electoral results of that era, you would notice that NPC won unopposed. Bornu Youth Movement held sway in Bornu, and the Action Group was attracted and formed alliance with them and their calculation was that Bornu Youth Movement would join them. But NPC decided to go brutal. When the Action Group sent a large contingent of lawyers to Bornu to fight the NPC tactics, the NPC got the lawyers arrested immediately they arrived and sent them to detention centre. They were made to remove their shoes, their wigs and trekked to detention centres where they were all locked up. However, they were granted bail on the adjourned date and the moment they secured their freedom, none of them ever stepped on Bornu soil again. Eventually, NPC emerged the largest block, and were invited to form government. After that experience, the Action Group went back to the drawing board again to plot how to break the North monopoly in Nigerian politics. They sustained the agitation by propping up different groups and in the end, so many movements sprang up here in the north. The intention was to plant discord among the northern elements to allow them have easy ride in the next election. When the election came in 1964, the NPC used the same strategy and got the majority. The Action Group then started to campaign that the north was too big to be allowed to remain like that and should be split into smaller units. During the military, they were somehow silent but during the civilian regime when Ojukwu was about to declare a cessation, minority leaders from the East met the late Military Governor of Northern Nigeria, Hassan Katsina and appealed to him to use his good office to press for a state of their own. A week before the cessation, South Eastern state was created. Having divided the east into three, the federal Government was forced to divide the west into three. The North accepted the creation of six more states and that was how 12 state structure was adopted. But when we had a shot at another election in 1979, NPN led by Shehu Shagari won the Presidential election, and that was when it occurred to the Action Group leaders who formed Unity Party of Nigeria that splitting the North into whatever number would not be a solution because the South is naturally divided into three, but the division in the north is not clear cut till today. That was why they came up again with the idea of zonal arrangement. The idea was that the states would be Republics unlike the arrangement we have now. They were expected to have full constituent power. In their own thinking, that would make the three southern states to have an edge with their mistaken belief that the North central state which shares border with the North West and North East will work with them. Unfortunately, I came to realize, in this blind pursuit, that most Nigerians don’t understand their country. They don’t understand that an Igala or an Ebira in the North Central shared so much affinity with his brothers in the North West and North East. They think alike like their brothers from across the region as far as Nigerian politics is concerned. Their mentality and approach to national politics are the same. Because of these setbacks, they now came up with this idea of zonal arrangement. Unfortunately, the proponents could not come up with a comprehensive definition of what they want, some would ask for true Federalism, some are calling for fiscal federalism, and there are others who combined the two and are calling for restructuring. From Action Group to UPN, to NADECO to PRONACO, the agitation for restructuring has always come from the people of the west Nigeria. The whole thing originated form Action Group, and the intention was to deny the North the benefits of its population and land mass. The agitation for restructuring was not borne out of good intention but a gang up to deny the north the benefits it should get for being richly endowed. They know that they have evil intention on this idea of restructuring and to date no body has come out with a blue print on what this restructuring is all about, because they don’t want to expose themselves, as people will be against it. The idea is impracticable because before you can force Nigeria to restructure, you have to change the constitution, and to change the constitution, you must have the support of a number of legislators in the states and 2/3 federal legislators and without the North you can not get the 2/3. Unfortunately, the intricacies of the situation have made it difficult for anyone to nurse such ambition. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/north-tamed-yoruba-ambition-tanko-yakassai/ Cc:lalasticlala Cc:HERSLEY |
Politics / I Pray God To Give Me Courage To Be Fair To All Nigerians – Buhari by tinziemaine(m): 2:31am On Oct 08, 2016 |
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in
Abuja said that his greatest wish from God was the
courage to be fair to all Nigerians irrespective of
religious, tribal and cultural backgrounds. He said his administration would continue to promote unity and peaceful co-existence of all Nigerians by ensuring fairness and social justice to all. The president spoke while receiving Sheikh Abdul- Muhsin Muhammad Al-Qassimi, Imam of the Mosque of the Holy Prophet in Medina, Saudi Arabia at the State House, Abuja. President Buhari said God had a purpose of bringing people from different ethnic backgrounds into one country- Nigeria. “God knows best- a population of 180 million people comprising more than 300 ethnic groups many of them with cultural ties stronger than religion can only co-exist peacefully in an atmosphere of social justice,’’ he said. President Buhari urged Muslims and all other citizens to imbibe and practice social justice as a norm and prayed to Allah to guide his government in doing the same. “I pray that God gives us the courage to be fair to people he put in our charge so that we can enjoy his mercy,’’ he said. Citing several personal life lessons from the country’s political crisis in 1966, the civil war, his incarceration for three and half years in solitary detention, and his attempts to win presidential election, President Buhari told the visiting Imam that he had learnt ‘‘an important lesson about social justice.’’ The President commended the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their efforts to create a better understanding and practice of Islam. He welcomed the visit of the Imam to Nigeria, noting that it would strengthen the bond of ties between the two countries. A statement by senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu said that Sheikh (Dr) Al-Qassimi in his remarks commended the peaceful co-existence of Nigerians of different faiths. He expressed satisfaction with the cordial relations between government and religious leaders and called for a better teaching and practice of Islam devoid of extremism. Speaking to State House Correspondents after the meeting, Zamfara State governor, Abdulaziz Yari said that peace was central to the development of country. He urged Nigerians across all religious strata to embrace peace for the progress of the country. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/pray-god-give-courage-fair-nigerians-buhari/ Cc:lalasticlala |

Ahead of the re-run elections in Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Wike has warned election riggers to stay away from the state, saying that they would be resisted. The governor spoke, yesterday, in Port Harcourt when he flagged off the reconstruction of Bonny Jetty at the Bille/Bonny/Nembe waterfront. He said: “Anyone planning to steal our mandate will be resisted. Nobody can intimidate us. They will rig themselves into the water. “I hear some persons are celebrating that they will repeat what they did in Edo State, here in Rivers State. Somebody who is suffering from malaria can say anything. But nobody will use the police to rig the re-run elections in Rivers State. “If you want to take our mandate by force, you will go by force. All the people of Rivers State must remain vigilant. Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, may want to take us unawares.” He assured that the Jetty will be built into a modern platform, adding that dilapidated roads in town area would be rehabilitated. He enjoined residents of areas around the Jetty to create the needed atmosphere for the contractor handling the Jetty project to do a good job. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/stay-away-rivers-wike-warns-election-riggers/ Cc:lalasticlala |

Webmasters / Breaking: Zuckerberg Adds Hausa Language, Fula To Facebook by tinziemaine(m): 6:27am On Oct 01, 2016 |
Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, Friday, added Hausa language, Fula, and two others, Maltese and Corsican to Facebook, making the social media platform become available in more than 100 languages. Zuckerberg announced this yesterdaywhere he expressed optimism that the addition has halted the disappearance of some of the added languages. “Facebook is now available in more than 100 languages — with more than one billion people using a language other than English! Today we added Fula, Maltese and Corsican.” “Our community makes this possible. Over the last decade, hundreds of thousands of people around the world have worked together to find the right translations for words and phrases in the Facebook interface. Because the idea of a “Like” in English may mean something different in Arabic or Japanese.” The Fula language, also known as Fulani, is a non-tonal language spoken in Northeastern Nigeria and in a continuum that stretches across some 20 countries of Western Africa and Central Africa. Spoken as a first language by the Fula people, it is also spoken as a second language by various peoples like the Kirdi of Northern Cameroon. Recall that Zuckerberg who visited Nigeria on August 30th where he met with software developers and ICT entrepreneurs in Lagos pledged to use Nigerian languages in offering services on Facebook. However, on the reasons for the added languages, he said, ” For people to share what matters to them and see what matters to the people they care about, they need services available in a language they know. Some of the languages we’ve added don’t have meaningful presence on the internet.” “Others, like Corsican, are in danger of disappearing altogether, according to UNESCO.” Zuckerberg also reiterated this resolve to make the platform available to people no matter where they are on the globe. “So thanks to everyone in our community for helping us hit this milestone of 100 languages! We’ll keep working to open up our community to everyone – no matter where they live or what language they speak.” www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/breaking-zuckerberg-adds-hausa-language-fula-to-facebook/ Cc:lalasticlala Cc:Tosyne2much Cc:Eleniyan15 Cc:Berlyn Cc:Naijaboiy |
