Day to Night! Comparing Meghan Markle's First and Second Wedding Dresses

Meghan Markle wore not just one, but two stunning dresses on her wedding day.

For her evening reception at Frogmore House Meghan changed into a second wedding dress — this one, a bit more revealing than her first.

The second dress, designed by Stella McCartney, is “a bespoke lily white high neck gown made of silk crepe,” according to a statement from the palace. The dress features a high, halter neck, with an open back and a train that Meghan carried as she walked to a blue Jaguar that would carry her and Prince Harry to their reception.

She accessorized her look with a pair of heels from one of her favorite footwear brands Aquazurra  that are “made in silky satin, with nude mesh, with soles painted in baby blue,” according to the palace. She also wore a pair of diamond drop earrings.

Though the second dress was decidedly sexier than her first gown, which she wore for the couple’s ceremony at St. George’s Chapel and their midday reception at Windsor Castle, both dresses had one common thread: simplicity. Both dresses lacked lace or any other other embellishments.

He first dress is designed by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy, was also devoid of embellishments, but was more modest, featuring long sleeves and a boatneck neckline.

AMCON seizes Stella Oduah’s assets over N20 Billion debt

The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria has taken over Sea Petroleum Oil & Gas Ltd. and other assets belonging to Senator Stella Oduah-Ogiemwonyi over a debt of about N20bn.
AMCON said the takeover followed an injunction granted by Justice M.S. Hassan of the Federal High Court, Lagos, against the Sea Petroleum Oil & Gas Ltd.

The corporation, in a statement by its Head, Corporate Communications, Jude Nwauzor, on Friday said that Oduah-Ogiemwonyi had been having a running battle with AMCON over her “inability to settle her huge debt of nearly N20bn.”

The statement said that AMCON purchased the Eligible Bank Assets of Sea Petroleum & Gas from Union Bank Plc sometime in 2012.

It said that in spite of overtures and genuine efforts made by AMCON to reach an amicable settlement, the senator and her co-promoters had been uncooperative.

“Having exhausted all avenues of peaceful resolution of the humongous debt, AMCON had no other choice than to refer the matter to court,” the statement said.

It said that the order also affected the senator’s other business interests, for which AMCON had since appointed Moyosore Jubril Onigbanjo (SAN) as receiver over the assets of Oduah-Ogiemwonyi; Sea Petroleum Oil & Gas; Sea Petroleum and Gas FZE as well as Star Tourism and Hotels Ltd.

The statement said that the court also ordered the freezing of the funds of Sea Petroleum & Gas and its affiliated companies and principal promoters, held anywhere by any entity or persons in Nigeria.

It also authorised AMCON and its receiver, Onigbanjo, to take over all assets pledged as collateral for the facility by Sea Petroleum Oil & Gas Ltd.

“In compliance with the order of the court, AMCON through its receiver, Moyosore Jubril Onigbanjo, SAN, today (May 18), simultaneously took possession of the assets of Sea Petroleum & Gas Ltd. and its affiliated companies.

“Justice Hassan specifically, ordered Sea Petroleum Oil & Gas Ltd. and its affiliated companies to hand over the company’s business, which sits on over 9000 square kilometres of land in the fastest developing area of Lagos State along the Lekki-Epe Expressway,” it said.

Other affected assets, according to AMCON, are two tank farms of 500 metric tonnes capacity; a property at Maiyegun Tourism Zone, Lekki Peninsula Scheme 11, Lagos Island and a filling station complex at kilometre 14, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ikota, Lagos.

The court order also listed a host of other assets across the country, including Plot 2, Block 12C, Babafemi Osapa Crescent Lekki; Block 5, House 4A Mobolaji Johnson Estate, Lekki, and office/filling station at Jakande in Lekki, Lagos, among others.

Okonjo-Iweala reveals how politicians fund elections in Nigeria

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former Finance Minister has revealed the “dirty secret” behind the funding of political campaigns in Nigeria.
Okonjo-Iweala said some government’s funds are diverted by politicians during campaigns.

The former Managing Director of World Bank stated this while speaking about her recent book, “Fighting Corruption is Dangerous” at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

She noted that it was not enough to fight the symptoms of corruption, while the root causes fester on.
According to Okonjo-Iweala, “People are happy to see the symptoms being taken care of, punitive measure, you know it makes big headlines when people are hauled off to jail and the media blasts the story, which is good, there ought to be consequences and punitive actions but it’s not enough.
“If you don’t fix some of the root causes, the next set of people will come in, and with those opportunities, they might do the same thing.

“The type of democracy we’ve adopted is costly, you have to campaign, you have to have money to campaign and it is a dirty little secret nobody talks about, how do you finance this campaigns?
“Part of the monies for the treasury are diverted to finance political campaigns. Is this right? The answer is no.”
The former Minister of Finance, had revealed why she refused to resign from the past administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan

Army releases report on Taraba govt, TY Danjuma’s allegations (Full text)

The Nigerian Army has released reports of investigation into allegations against it by the Taraba State government and retired General TY Danjuma.

Danjuma had advised Nigerians to defend themselves before killer herdsmen wiped them out.

“You must rise to protect yourselves from these people, if you depend on the armed forces to protect you, you will all die.

“This ethnic cleansing must stop in Taraba, and it must stop in Nigeria,” the former Defence Minister had warned.

On Friday, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, announced content of the report.

He said in the process of conducting the operations in Taraba State, concerns were raised by some government officials and very senior citizens of the State on the approach of the Nigerian Army.

“In view of these allegations, the Chief of Army Staff, ai set up a 10-man Panel comprising senior Army officers (both serving and retired) and members from the National Human Rights Commission, Nigerian Bar Association and other Civil Society Organizations, to investigate the veracity of the allegations made against the Nigerian Army.

“The Panel was inaugurated on 9 April 18 and it visited government officials, security agencies and other stakeholders covering the 3 senatorial zones of Taraba State, including His Excellency the Governor of Taraba State.

“The major findings of the Investigation Panel were as follows: There was no collusion on the part of the Nigerian Army and units operating in Taraba State with any bandit(s) as stated by Lieutenant General TY Danjuma (Retired).

“There were few instances where locals drag soldiers outside strict military duties to intervene in civil disputes.

“There was good collaborations, synergy and cooperation between the Nigeria Army and other security agencies operating in Taraba State.

“There is sustained media campaign to belittle the military operations in Taraba State.

“Most of the crises over the years in Taraba State were particularly in Takum, Wukari, Ussa, Donga and Sardauna Local Government Areas.

“There was absence of Nigerian Army deployments in some crises prone areas in the hinterland in Taraba State.

“The Nigeria-Cameroon common borders in Taraba State were porous.

“There was a massive proliferation of small arms and light weapons in Taraba State, some of which have been recovered from warring parties, criminal and unauthorised persons.

“Troops deployed in Taraba State for Operation MESA were not paid RCA by the state government since February 2018.

“There was inadequate communication equipment in the units which impedes Nigerian Army operations.

“Some of the localities in the hinterland in Taraba State were not accessed by road.

“The Commanding Officer 93 Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel IB Gambari commands his unit effectively and professionally and was only being vilified by some people/government of Taraba State for his refusal to act outside his professional duties or do the biddings of some government officials.

“The Executive Governor of Taraba State made several attempts to ensure the removal of the Commanding Officer of 93 Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel IB Gambari from command for his refusal to be dragged into the state politics.

“Taraba State is highly heterogeneous and divided along ethno-religious lines.

“The Chairman of Takum LGA, Hon Shiban Tikari made several attempts to undermine the authority of the Commanding Officer 93 Bn through some officers of the unit.

“The troops have a good understanding of the Code of Conduct/Rule of Engagement.

“There were security breaches/clashes in Taraba State till date which has necessitated the deployment of troops in the state.

“The responses of Nigerian Army troops deployed to forestall these crises were commendable despite daunting challenges.

“The 20 Battalion operating at Sardauna Local Government Area lacks combat motorcycles.

“Some of the challenges facing the unit’s operating in Tarana State include terrain, inadequate intelligence, inadequate communication and manpower problem.

“There was verifiable evidence that 2 Nigerian Air Force helicopters with registration numbers NAF 574 and NAF 575 landed in Gembu on 15 March 2018 and 11 April 2018 respectively without the knowledge of the local authority.

“The Nigerian Air Force helicopters and personnel that landed in Gembu area were for the proposed establishment of Nigerian Air Force Base at Gembu.

“Dairies and other relevant documents pertaining to some major security breaches/clashes were maintained by units operating in the State, however the units did not document the after-action review.

“The Panel recommended that Army Headquarters should:

a. Device a means to be independent in its operation across Nigeria so as to insulate soldiers from the overbearing influence of politicians in government especially with particular reference to sponsorship of Nigerian Army operations in states.

b. Address the challenges of manpower, communication and provision of adequate and timely intelligence to support Nigerian Army operations in Taraba State.

c. Emphasize the need for multi-stakeholder engagement at all levels to douse tension in Taraba State.

d. Beef up the manpower of units in Taraba State.

e. Project its civil military cooperation relationship by creating awareness prior to the provision of people oriented programme and sustain it through vigorous pursuit and provisions to Tarabans.

f. Inform the Defence Headquarters on the need for the Services to follow due process in establishment of any new military location/base in any state.

g. Commend the Commanding Officer of 93 Battalion Lieutenant Colonel IB Gambari for his professionalism.

h. Impress on its Commanders the need for after-action review in order to improve on future Nigerian Army operations.

i. Educate the political class on the implication of polarizing the military to achieve their selfish gains.

j. Impress on Taraba State government to prosecute criminal elements arrested and handed over during the course of Nigerian Army operations.

“It is apparent that the clashes in Taraba State are a result of clan and communal crisis that predates this present Government. Most of the crises in Taraba State are politically motivated and some persons are deliberately escalating the situation in Taraba State for selfish gains. With respect to the statement by Lt Gen TY Danjuma (retired), it is clear that the allegations were not true, hence there is a need to urge for caution on the part of the elder stateman, in view of the security implications of such comments”.

Miyetti Allah vows to resist Benue anti-grazing law, asks Buhari to warn Ortom

The leaders of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) say they have not changed their position on the anti-grazing law passed by the Benue state government.
The law, which was passed in May 2017 and it took effect in November same year, has generated a lot of controversy, with Miyetti Allah describing it as a time bomb.

In April, Samuel Ortom, the state governor, had said the association had finally accepted to adopt cattle ranching as a solution to the clashes between herdsmen and farmers in the state.

“I think that, in Benue, we are winning because Miyetti Allah and MACABAN have accepted that ranching remains the best option to rear cattle,” Ortom had said.

But in a statement by Abdullahi Bodejor, national president of Miyetti Allah, Saleh Alhassan, its secretary; and Garus Gololo, chairman communiqué drafting committee, the group insisted the law is a violation of its fundamental human rights.
The leaders of the group reached this position on Friday after it rose from an emergency meeting in Kaduna state.

They urged urged President Muhammadu Buhari to call Ortom to order, adding that “his actions are a fundamental threat to peaceful coexistence and food security in Nigeria.”

“We condemn the call by some desperate and jobless groups parading the streets of Abuja looking for crumbs from corrupt politicians agitating for the profiling and stigmatisation of Fulani pasturalist in Nigeria,” the statement read.

“We urge the attorney-general to ignore their letter as they are hired agents by a sinking governor.

“We totally reject the repressive and oppressive ‘Anti-open Grazing Law’ as it is fundamentally going against our culture, economic interest and constitutional rights and will deploy all the necessary legal means as enshrined in our constitution to challenge it.”

The group commended the action of its sister organisation which filed a suit to challenge the anti-grazing law.

It also argued that it had the right to move freely in any part of the country.“Consequently, we affirm our support and solidarity for the legal action taken by the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Fulani Socio- cultural Association to challenge the negative Benue anti- grazing law at the federal high court, Abuja,” the statement read.
“That pastoralists, like all citizens of Nigeria, have the right to move freely and to reside in any part of the country. They also have a right to own property in any part of the country and enjoy the right of freedom from discrimination like any other citizen of the country.

“We call on the national assembly to live up to their responsibility because the inter-state movement of pastoralists is analogous to inter-state commerce, which is an exclusive preserve of the legislative powers of the National Assembly under item 62 of the Exclusive Legislative List. To this effect, any action taken by a state Assembly is in conflict with above section of the 1999 Constitution as amended.

“We are calling on the minister of justice, inspector-general of police (IGP), the senate president, speaker of the house of representatives and our royal fathers to call the Benue state governor to order, as his actions and continuous threat to the leadership of the Fulani pastoralists is a serious threat to peaceful coexistence.

“We appreciates the efforts being put in place by the federal and state governments in addressing the security challenges facing the Fulani pastoralists, particularly cattle rustling, kidnapping and banditry.”

FG ‘yet to refund’ £200,000 used for Ekwueme’s treatment

The federal government has reportedly not refunded the £200,000 used in the treatment of the late former Vice-President Alex Ekwueme.

Ekwueme died in a London hospital in November 2017, at the age 85.
Prior to that, the federal government had undertaken to fund his medical treatment abroad. Upon his death, it also set up a committee to oversee his burial.

However, six months after, one of the persons involved in the events surrounding Ekwueme’s treatment and burial has said the family is yet to get the money it used in treating the late icon — a claim the federal government has denied.

Emmanuel Chukwuma, the archbishop of Enugu ecclesiastical province, Anglican communion, who is said to be a counselor to the family, told Daily Sun that the federal government “delayed” the payment, forwarding the money after the family had done so.

He also said the hospital had to return the money to the government but Ekwueme’s family is yet to get a refund, six months after.

“A lot of things are wrong in this administration … Right now, the money meant for Ekwueme’s treatment is not yet released,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.

“The hospital has returned the money but government has refused to release it back to the family. Over 200,000 pounds and so on and so forth. They delayed in paying the medical bill of late Ekwueme until the family paid the bill to the London clinic.

“When the London clinic was paid by government after the family had paid, the hospital said the family had paid and returned the money to the Central Bank. Now, the money, which CBN should refund to Ekwueme’s family is now being held.
“This money has been signed out. Where is the medical bill refund released by the Central Bank of Nigeria, which was returned by London clinic? That is the question, where is it? It should be refunded to the family and if this doesn’t happen, I am going to speak more and this is going to cause serious scandal for the federal government.”

FG SAYS ‘NO TRUTH’ IN THE BISHOP’S CLAIMS

The newspaper said it was not able to get replies from both the CBN and Lai Mohammed, minister of information, regarding the matter.

But Chris Ngige, minister of labour, who was the deputy chairman of the committee that oversaw Ekwueme’s burial, was quoted as saying Chukwuma’s claims are false.

He also denied that the hospital bill was up to £200,000.

He reportedly told Daily Sun: “No truth in that at all … the bill was not up to that but FG picked the entire bill and other ancillary bills like air ambulance, casket, etc. I’m deputy chair of FG burial committee hence in a position to know.”

Femi Fani-Kayode: The sons of Satan and the seed of Beelzebub (Part 2)

Sadly the madness does not stop there. On February 3rd 2018, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo, the President of Miyetti Allah which is the umbrella organisation of the Fulani herdsmen, said

“Nobody should try to remove Buhari in 2019. All the Fulani in Nigeria today, our eyes are open. All of us are behind Buhari; we have seen that they want to destroy the Fulani because of Buhari. We would not allow anybody to intimidate the Federal Government or to take Buhari’s mandate. We would be ready to follow him and fight it. We are ready to do anything to ensure that Buhari comes back to complete the good work he is doing.”

Simply put, what he is saying is that if Buhari does not come back to power in 2019 there will be war.
There is another aspect of the Buhari doctrine which is worthy of consideration.
Professor Ango Abdullahi, a notable Fulani leader and the spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, exposed the mindset of the Fulani conquerors and provided the ethos and rationale for the unprecedented carnage, mass murder, genocide and ethnic cleansing that Buhari’s kinsmen, the Fulani herdsmen, have unleashed on the Nigerian people, and particularly Christians, over the last three years by saying the following:
“Where we originally came from (meaning Futa Jalon in modern day Guniea) you don’t buy land: you only ask for permission to use the land”.

What Abdullahi did not tell the world is that where that permission is denied the practice of the Fulani and the sons of Futa Jalon is to slaughter its owners, wipe out their entire family, eliminate their tribe and steal everything that is on it.

They kill our people like flies. They kill them in the same way that the Islamists, the Jihadists, the Salafists and the Wahhabists killed the Christians and Jews of Lebanon before and during their civil war.

They killed the young, the old, the rich, the poor, the educated, the uneducated, the women, the children, the weak, the vulnerable and the infants.
They killed everybody in sight until the heroic Christian Phalange, with their gallant fighters and courageous warriors, organised themselves, rose to the occassion, and fought back.

And make no mistake about it, if the genocide does not stop, that is precisely what is going to happen in Nigeria.
Mr. Tony Masha put it in a nutshell and hit the nail on the head when he wrote the following:
“The Fulani conquered the Hausas and Ilorin, part of Yorubaland, during the first jihad. Indeed, all the Hausa Kings, who were accused of being corrupt and not practising true Isam, were murdered and the Fulani took over their palaces and installed themselves as Emirs since 1804 till today. The Hausa, the Yoruba, and the Negroes in Nigeria never mustered enough courage to challenge the Fulani Arab and never tried to regain their freedom from them. This is what has given the Fulani the effontry to start the second jihad. And while the Chief Fulani warrior, Muhammadu Buhari, is giving the Fulani jihadists a shield, again the timid and timorous Negroes cannot organise to protect themselves from the Fulani jihadists and their Arab cousins”.
Masha has spoken well and captured the moment in a succinct and insightful way.

To make matters worse anyone that expresses concern about this evil agenda and barbarous outrage or attempts to stand in their way is targetted for demystification, humiliation, incarceration, destruction and ultimately death. Not even their fellow Muslims are spared.
Consider the following. When the reverred and highly influential Sheik Abdulraheem Aduanigba, Chief Imam Yoruba Ilorin and Chief Imam of Yorubaland, a deeply courageous, wise, God-fearing, pious, devout and righteous man called for the emancipation of the Yoruba Muslims from Fulani domination and manipulation and insisted on the liberation of Ilorin from Fulani hegemony he was promptly arrested and briefly detained by Buhari’s Fulani-controlled police.
Yet despite this vicious persecution I make bold to say that Sheik Aduanigba, who is my friend and brother, is a rising star in the political and religious firmarment of Yorubaland and Nigeria that cannot be easily eclipsed, shot down or dimmed.
He has the tacit support and respect of virtually all the Yoruba nationalist groups in the south-west and he is undoubtedly a man to watch going into the future and a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Killing him, locking him up or harrasing him for speaking the bitter truth about the excesses and atrocities of the Fulani invaders and aggressors will have grave, far-reaching and disasterous consequences for the Buhari government and will not augur well for the unity of the country.
As an additional insight to our precarious situation permit me to share the words of a core northern commentator by the name of Nuhu Bama. He said,
“I am a Muslim but not Fulani. Let me tell Nigerians the truth. The massive killing in Benue, Taraba and other areas in the country is being strategised, sponsored and carried out by you people’s President Muhammadu Buhari. It will not stop. Buhari told us that the time to Islamise Nigeria is now and must be carried out by all means. Enuogh weapons have since been purchased and people trained to carry it out. It will be worst in 2019. Nobody will stop him from winning in 2019 because he has his gunmen everywhere. The only person to stop him is Allah, the Almighty God. He has nothing good for Nigeria. If he has why does he not stop the killing? If he wants the killing to stop today it will stop. Every one should come out and condemn him. It is now! Nigerians don’t sleep: evil is on the increase by this very government. If nobody will talk now, I laugh: very soon they will regret. This government is evil!”
These words are relevant and pertinent and they reflect the black heart and diabolical agenda of the Buhari administration.
And anyone that still doubts this should consider what the government-backed Fulani terrorists and militias and the Nigerian Army and Airforce are doing to the proud and courageous Bachama tribe of Numan in Adamawa state.
There is an ongoing attempt to wipe them off the face of the earth and exterminate their entire race by the powers that be and the whole thing is being spear-headed by a former Governor of the state who is a Fulani Muslim himself and who is also a farmer.
This man’s hatred for Christians is legendry and his farm has often been used as a launching pad and rallying point for attacks against the Bachama and other Christians in Adamawa state.
Luckily for us the people of Numan have proved to be irresistable, irrepressable and unbeatable despite suffering heavy casulaties and despite the sheer torment, mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide that they have been subjected to.
In spite of their travails they have fought back gallantly, defending themselves courageously, giving as good as they get and often repelling the vicious attacks even though the government and the military have refused to offer them any assistance and have, more often than not, joined forces with the Fulani to bomb and kill them.
Yet Buhari, who is the Life Patron of the murderous Fulani herdsmen and terrorists and the master-puppeteer of this godless heathan agenda, never hid his reprehensible views or evil intentions from the start and I must say that I respect him for that.
When he said that “an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north” in 2014 I knew where he was heading.
When he said “the Fulani herdsmen are your brothers and kinsmen: please accomodate them” in 2018 I understood where he stood.
When he said “I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the sharia movement ALL over the country” in 2001 I got the message.
When he said “Christians should not complain when Muslims cut off their limbs in the name of sharia: after all the limbs that are being cut off are Muslim ones and not Christian” in 2001 I heard him loud and clear.
And his proselytising ways and radical Islamist tendencies were confirmed by the fact that a man that he was to later appoint as his Minister of Information, another Muslim by the name of Lai Mohammed, described the proscription of Boko Haram in 2014 and its being declared as a terrorist organisation by the Jonathan administration as “unjust” and “unconstitutional”.
No matter how evil and reprehensible his intentions were at least Buhari has been honest about them from day one. No-one can fault him on that or deny it.

As a consequence of this I have far more respect for him than the quislings, the accursed slaves and the useful idiots from the Middle Belt and the south that surround him and that were used by him to come to power.

I have more respect for him because, like his father Lucifer, he is totally committed to his evil agenda and he does not pretend that it does not exist or attempt to hide it.

I consider him to be a worthy adversary and an implaccable foe who I will opppose and fight until he leaves office simply because of what he represents and stands for.
Even though I despise and hate his racist and bigoted agenda that does not mean that I do not respect him.
I accord him the same respect that I accord a poisonous rattle snake, a venomous viper, a starving Boa Constrictor and a hungry python.

I respect him because he is dangerous, ruthless, cold-blooded, totally focused on achieving his sinister objectives, deceptively charming and exceptionally calculating.

I respect him because no matter what anyone says or feels about him he still enjoys the love and support of the vast majority of his people in the core Muslim north and he champions their cause in a way that is second to none. How I wish Middle Belt, southern and Christian leaders would do the same for theirs.
I have said it before and I will say it again, Buhari is not viewed as a politician in the core north: he is perceived as a religion and he is regarded as the third Muslim Mahdi of Nigeria (Usman Dan Fodio and Ahmadu Bello being the first and second respectively) and something of an Islamic messiah. Love him or hate him, that is the bitter truth.

And when when we lock horns and fight in both the spiritual and physical realms with prayers and words respectively it is done with mutual respect, knowing that the struggle is till the end.
Warriors and kings must always respect one another: whether they be warriors and kings of darkness or warriors and kings of light.
They must respect one another because each is prepared to give his life for the struggle and for his cause.

I and those that think like me and that stand behind me represent the light and Buhari and all those that are with him represents the darkness.

And as the Bible says “darkness cannot overcome light” but rather “flees before it for it comprehendeth it not”.
Permit me to add the following. Whether anyone likes to admit it or not many of those in the ruling APC that are being ruthlessly persecuted by Buhari today are paying the price for the senseless, self-serving, self-seeking and downright stupid choices that they made during the 2015 presidential election.

Supporting Buhari comes with a heavy price. As they say, when you dine with the devil you better use a long fork and knife and if you choose to ride a tiger you better be prepared to end up in its stomach.

The truth is that every single one of those that had a hand in bringing Muhammadu Buhari to power, whether big or small, will pay that price because they have offended God deeply. And whether they have had a Paulian conversion or not is neither here nor there. It is just a matter of time.
Do you know how much money Buhari’s men have stolen over the last three years? Do you know how much they have wasted and squandered?

Do you know how much they have borrowed from international monetary agencies, the Paris Club and the Bretton Woods institutions and shared amongst themselves?

Do you know how much they have looted? It goes into billions of dollats and trilliions of naira!

And these are the people that a cowardly turncoat, servile quisling, ranking imbecile, reprehensible reprobate, useful idiot and accursed slave like Vice President Yemi Osinbanjo, who, apart from being physically challenged, is intellectually, morally, spiritually and morally bankrupt, would have us believe are saints?

The truth is that the Vice President is fast becoming one of the most hated and despised Christians in the country today simply because he has betrayed his Christian brothers and sisters, his faith and his God and he constantly seeks to defend and rationalise the actions of an administration that kills believers at will and treats them like vermin.

He is indeed the Cain of our time. This is a man that claims to be a “pastor” but whose Lord and Saviour is not Jesus Christ but Muhammadu Buhari.
Worse still this is a man who is supposedly a respected lawyer, a Professor of law and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria who takes pleasure in describing others as “looters” even when a court of law has not found them guilty of any wrongdoing.
Quite apart from all that do you know how many people the Buhari administration have slaughtered and murdered in cold blood? It is an ocean of blood.

Do you know how many lives they have destroyed and how many dreams they have shattered? They are legion.

Do you really believe that any one of those that brought or helped to bring this monumental disaster and unprecedented affliction upon the Nigerian people, no matter how highly placed, will go scot free?
God said, “vengeance is mine, I will repay!” He is not asleep and He will honor His word. It is only a matter of time.
Whether they have repented and left Buhari or whether they are still with him they cannot escape it. Whether they are realigning today or not realigning they will not escape it.
Every single one of them will pay a terrible price for their grave error of judgement and the innocent blood that is on their hands.

They will suffer for aiding and abetting this vicious tyrant and supporting this villainous beast and the innocent blood that they have collectively shed shall haunt them until the day that they die.
Permit me to end this contribution with the words of Sheik El Zaky. He said the following to the court registrar who went to issue a summons to him in detention a few days ago:

“We were brutally attacked. They opened fire on us, shot us with guns, killing over a thousand including my sons. I was also shot with my wife. I was dragged over the corpses of my sons. We were then brought here and detained. Our bodies were sore all over, riddled with bullets”.

As someone said, “what a nation, what a leader!”

Can any serious-minded person doubt the fact or dispute the assertion that President Muhammadu Buhari is a heartless ingrate and wicked beast who has no sense of decency or compassion?
Perhaps that is what informed Professor Farooq Kperogi when he wrote,

“I seriously doubt that Nigeria can survive a Buhari second term. The man simply doesn’t have the temperament, emotional maturity, and intellectual preparedness to govern a complex, multi-ethnic, and multi-religious country like Nigeria. Anyone who can’t see this is worse than blind”.

Kperogi is right. What we need in this country is a biblical Cyrus with a heart of David on the throne. We need a strong and righteous believer as our President who has no fear of the enemy or any reservations about confronting evil.

We need a man who both Christians and Muslims can trust to protect and fight for their interests. We need a man who respects southerners and Middle Belters and who treats them with the same degree of decorum, dignity, decency and sensitivity as he does core northerners.

We need a man who loves not just his own tribe and ethnic nationality but ALL the tribes and ethnic nationalities of Nigeria.

We need a biblical Gideon and a strong-willed and courageous Jehu. We need our very own Donald Trump who has the courage of his convictions, who is prepared to keep his promises and who is not clothed in the deceitful garb of double-speak and political correctness or fettered and bound by the satanic chains of irrational fear and morbid cowardice.

What we do not need or want is another four years of cruelty, evil, madness, carnage, mass murder, ethnic cleansing, genocide, monumental corruption, selective justice, persecution of the opposition and all perceived enemies, suppression of the media and dissent, unprecedented theft, deceit, lies, economic recession, poverty, hardship, suffering, northern hegemony, religious bigotry, islamisation, sheer wickedness and the covert and subterranean promotion and support of murderous islamist and ethnic terrorist organisations like Boko Haram and the Fulani herdsmen.

We do not need another four years of obsessive, egocentric, hateful, divisive, rudderless, callous and insensitive leadership from the sons of satan and the seed of Beelzebub.

We do not need another four years of calamity, torture, torment and failure from the disciples of Lucifer and the servants of the Prince of Hell.

(N.B. I dedicate this write up to my friend and brother Dr. Musa Asake, the Secretary General of CAN, who passed on last week and who dedicated his life to the spreading of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and to defending the Church and the Christian community in Nigeria. You fought a good fight and you were faithful to the end. Rest in peace soldier of Christ.)

BREAKING: Okorocha absent as Imo APC congress holds at secret venue

A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State has gone ahead to conduct the state congress of the party on Saturday despite an order by the Federal High Court in Owerri stopping the exercise.
Earlier in the day, over 200 operatives of the state Police Command barricaded the APC state secretariat.
But in order to beat the police security, APC members, who are not in tandem with Governor Rochas Okorocha, conducted the state congress at an undisclosed venue.

The APC state chairman, Hilary Eke, said that the idea was to ensure that security agencies who, according to him, had become partisan did not truncate the exercise.

Eke, in a telephone chat with the Punch, disclosed that over 1,500 delegates from the 305 wards of the state were electing state executive members of the party under the supervision of officials from the national secretariat and members of staff of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He said, “Over 1,500 delegates have elected the state executives.
“The venue of the congress was not disclosed because of security reasons.
“INEC officials and officials of the party from Abuja are here.

“Okorocha is not part of the congress; the delegates are the ones electing the state executive.

“The congress is very peaceful and we are working hard to make sure that the people take back Imo APC,” Eke said.
