Pope's refusal to ride in a bulletproof... Could it be a lesson for Nigerian church leaders and followers?

The refusal of Pope Francis to ride in a sardine can specially designed to provide a bulletproof cover, sits deep in my heart as a great example of what Christ represents "love".

He understands the reason for the Popemobile and knows about the possible dangers but chooses his "love for the people" over his personal security.

Read the Pope's comment:

Exposed: Nigerian gIrls going naked in the name of fashion

The rate at which our girls, famous and locals expose their natural content baffles my reasoning. Is it fashion, attention seeking or unconscious effects of evil possession...

How do you define our women going naked in public places and a huge number of them sticking out with no "pants on"?

Happy Father's Day! Top Quotes.

Wow... It's Father's Day!

"I have a dad... A good, great and God-given mentor! A soul I so much cherish to have met. My dad is my guy, my man and my father!
Happy Father's Day to you dad, Lawrence N. Aniagoh

"What Is A Dad?

A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again. 

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt. 

A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DAD,
When i was born,
You were there to catch me when i fall, whenever and wherever.
When i said my first words,
You were there for me,
to teach me the whole dictionary if need be.
When i took my first steps,
You were there to encourage me on.
When i had my first day at school,
you were there to give me advice and help me with my homework.
I still havent finished school,
or walked down the aisle, or had my first child.
But i know you will be there for me through all these times and more, the good and bad.
So i just wrote this to say 'I LOVE YOU DAD!!!'

Write yours for your Dad!

Obiano inaugurates Local Government Service, charges them to inject new life

In what seems  as a move to decentralize and democratize grassroots governance in order to boost the third tier system of government, Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano has inaugurated a five-man Local Government Service Commission to run the affairs of local government system in the State.

The five-member Commission which is made up of three males and two females comprise Dr. Peter Egenti as Chairman, while the other members are Chief Austin Anyaeji, Mr. Ugochukwu Ezeani, Mrs. Rosaline Ifezulike, and Mrs Uju Okeke.

Speaking at the Inauguration Ceremony at Governor’s Lodge Awka late Wednesday, Chief Willie Obiano charged members of the Local Government Service Commission to inject life into the management of local government system, and reminded them that they were selected based on their pedigree. Stressing the importance of the task before the Commission, Governor Obiano said,” you are charged to bring your wealth of experience to bear in the performance of the onerous task of making sure that the local government system works effectively by injecting new life in the system, and ensure fairness in the discharge of your responsibilities.”

Responding, on behalf of other members, the Commission’s Chairman, Dr. Egenti assured that they would justify the confidence and trust reposed on them and thanked the Governor for finding them worthy of the assignment.

In his reaction, the State President of Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Comrade Jerry Nubia expressed satisfaction with the reconstitution of the body which he noted would now attend to affairs of local government workers to strengthen the system. He also commended Governor Obiano for choosing people with proven integrity and huge wealth of experience to handle the affairs of the Commission and urged workers to give them all the necessary cooperation.

Tinubu, Buhari and 13 APC Governors betrayed me - Rotimi Amaechi

Still on the fall-outs from the just concluded APC National Convention, the embattled governor of Rivers State says he feels betrayed.

Hear him:

"Let it be known, that I didn't just join the APC, I was wooed by the legacy parties and four other PDP governors then. Naturally in every bargain, interests must be spelt out.

Of course they did promise me the Vice Presidential ticket in the forth coming election with a condition to sell the party and make President Jonathan unpopular. The initial arrangement was to pair me with Hon. Tambuwal (Speaker of House of Representatives) . But when other entrants like Atiku and others entered the party, everything changed. It was Gov. Nyako that opened up to me on the recent changes, and pleaded with me to take the position of the National chairman of party, that it will be zoned to the South-South.

I can go nude, if...

In a recent interview, Nollywood actress, Chulwuka Favour aid she can go nude but only if the right price is matched.

When asked about What Role Can You Not Play In A Movie? She replied:

"I cannot go nude for nothing. If I’m to play nude I have to consider how much it is worth.
