“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 movements of their children. This will help the Police to nip the cultism to the bud,” she advised. The cult suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigative Department (SCID), Panti, for prosecution.

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.

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

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.

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/

Politics / Owerri Refuse: We Deliberately Left It To Punish Indigenes – Imo Govt by tinziemaine(m): 12:37am On Oct 07, 2016
OWERRI—IMO State Government yesterday, affirmed that it deliberately abandoned the mountain of smelly refuse along the ever busy Douglas Road, Owerri, to get back at the indigenes who have been fighting the administration.

Governor Rochas Okorocha’s Chief Press Secretary, CPS, Mr. Samuel Onwuemeodo, made the disclosure during an early morning public accountability phone-in programme anchored by Hot 99.5 FM, Owerri.

“Government deliberately abandoned the refuse along Douglas Road, Owerri, to get back at Owerri people who have been battling the state government, over the relocation of the market”, Onwuemeodo said.

The Governor’s CPS, who poured invectives on the leadership and indigenes of Owerri municipality, also fumed that “Owerri people must be made to understand that they cannot eat their cake and have it.”

He further explained that “there is a court order restraining government from tampering with the market and this also explains why we left the refuse.”
Most of the citizens who called into the programme, described the abandonment of the huge refuse as “a damnable plot to inflict hardship and disease on the people and not to respect a court order.”


A caller, who simply identified himself as Amanze, wondered why and how a government should deliberately hoist pain and disease on its people, in a democracy.

“From what the Governor’s Press Secretary has said, it is now very clear that the palpable hatred which Owerri people have been complaining about is real,” Amanze said.

While recalling that Owerri used to be the cleanest city in Nigeria, Amanze, however, said that “the Governor must hate Owerri so much to allow this level of devastation and dirt in the city.”

My Deputy not incoming Governor of Imo —Okorocha

Meantime, the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has said that his Deputy, Eze Madumere will not succeed him as the next Governor of the state, even as he said that those who will assume the leadership of the state in 2019 will be politicians who are “rescue mission compliant.”

Okorocha spoke yesterday at Concord Hotel, Owerri, during the launch of the book written by Mr Peter Clever titled: Eze Madumere: A True Manifestation of a Loyal Prince.”

He said: “I have not decided who will be the next Governor of Imo state. I want to also tell you that, this is not a launch for a path for Madumere as the incoming governor of the state. I want to say this before you start to distort the political landscape of Imo State.

“But he is my son in whom I am well pleased. I have confidence in him. The joy of an aging father is to see the son rising.”
Kano Governor urges him to shun sycophants

Also speaking at the book launch, the Kano State Governor, Abdulahi Umar Ganduje, has advised his counterpart Governor Rochas Okorocha, to desist from listening to sycophants if he wants to go far in governance.

“ For you as a governor to succeed in the affairs of governance, you must shun sycophants. Sycophancy is a deadly disease in government. It is HIV in governance.”

On his opinion about the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere, he said: “I congratulate you for being loyal to your governor and also for the
confidence the governor reposes in you.”

However, he said that deputy governors should act according to the situation they found themselves and not to engage in any activity that would undermine the relationship they have with their superiors.

“With what we have seen today, you have helped and are still helping to move Imo State forward. I am happy that, what has been written is an honest contribution of the deputy governor to the development of the entire state. The subject of the book has portrayed your loyalty to the governor,” he said.

Okorocha snatched Imo from political hyenas —Akintola


Also speaking at the book launch, a lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Adeniyi Akintola said that the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, snatched the State from political “hyenas.”

“Okorocha snatched the patrimony of Imo State from political hyenas who are busy feeding their stomach,” adding that, he could go ahead in explaining how Okorocha started with his deputy.

“ I consider it as a great honour to come and chair the occasion of a book launch written in honour of the Deputy Governor of Imo state, Prince Eze Madumere,“ he said.

Politics / Stay Away From Rivers, Wike Warns Election Riggers by tinziemaine(m): 12:22am On Oct 06, 2016
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.

Politics / "Islamisation Of Nigeria Is Real" - Ben Nwabueze by tinziemaine(m): 9:05pm On Oct 05, 2016
ENUGU – The dominance of the country’s security outfits leadership by Muslims, was Wednesday, identified as a grand plan by President Muhammad Buhari to Islamise Nigeria regardless of its constitutional provisions which stipulates freedom of religion.

This revelation was made known by the renowned constitutional lawyer, Prof Ben Nwabueze who was almost close to tears over what has become of Nigeria under Buhari.


Nwabueze said while fielding questions from newsmen haven hurried out of a meeting of Igbo Leader of thought, ILT, in Enugu that,”This is a very crucial meeting for us because we have not met for more than a year. And if you look at our agenda, such critical issues for discussion, issues like Islamisation agenda and its impact on the unity of the country.

“Islamisation agenda is real, it’s not something that somebody has just conjured up, it’s there. And it’s been implemented gradually. Look at the security agencies; every aspect of security islamists are in control in its entirety. They are methodically, the way they are going about its implementation. Look at
Fulani herdsmen menace, it is part of it.

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.”

Fowarding:
ABUJA – The United States government has
reminded president Muhammadu Buhari that there was still so much work to do in Nigeria to bring about economic prosperity of the country.

This was contained in a congratulatory message by US Secretary of State, John Kerry to the government and people of Nigeria on the occasion of the country’s 56th Independence Anniversary today.

Writing on behalf of President Barack Obama and the American people, Kerry however expressed confidence in Nigerians who he said were working hard to address current national challenges.

Kerry’s statement read thus:
“On behalf of President Obama and the American people, I congratulate the citizens of Nigeria as you celebrate your Independence Day on October
1. “I recently returned from my third trip to Nigeria as Secretary, and I came away with a strong sense of the nation’s resolve to build a better future. During my trip, I was reminded that many Nigerians are engaged in bringing people together across the divides of culture, religious practices, and ethnicity.

“There is still much work to be done to provide economic opportunities for all, end corruption, win the fight against Boko Haram, ensure broad respect for human rights and provide humanitarian relief for millions of displaced people. But we know that Nigerians are hard at work to address these challenges.

“The United States looks forward to deepening our partnership and friendship with Nigerians from all walks of life, so that we may work together for the betterment of Nigeria and all of Africa.

“Best wishes to all of you on this the 56th
anniversary of your independence.
