Psalm 72:1-7

BUILD A JUST AND RIGHTEOUS COMMUNITY

“Endow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness.” Psalm 72:1, NIV

An unjust and unrighteous community is not a place to be inhabited by believers; if a believer finds him/herself in such a community, then it becomes his/her responsibility to intercede for righteousness and justice and act to enthrone same.

THE new plan by Governor Ambode is to either force Igbos to go and start buying lands in Badagry, Ikorodu, Epe and other areas in the hinter lands; build houses and markets to develop those areas, or go back to the South East as Governor Fashola told them to do after the deportation of Igbos in 2013.

The risk in this new plan is best captured by an Igbo proverb that says when a child starts planning to eat plenty fresh vegetable, the vegetable also plans how to give the child diarrhoea. No one, including the owners of Lagos, can say what Lagos will look like without Igbos, or what Igbos will do if they have to be forced to relocate. However, some Igbo traders may foolishly rush to those areas and start fresh struggles to own land and develop them, thereby repeating the same mistake they made after the civil war. These ones will always see themselves as wiser than the rest. They are the ones who often boast to themselves that they spent huge sums of money just to sand fill some deep swampy areas in Ojo, Abule Egba,Okota, Ejigbo areas, etc, before building. They forget that the cost of sand filling alone would have given them three mansions or more in their dry Igbo land. An Igbo proverb says that wisdom is like a hand bag: you pick up yours as you go about your affairs.

A new coach, Gernoit Rohr has been hired to coach the Super Eagles. What considerations informed his choice and given the lean finances of the federation, how do you intend to fund the salary and is there a guarantee that he is going to stay in the country and have the programme that you have for the other team Before answering the questions, let me quickly say that Rohr told me that he was really looking forward to managing a great nation like Nigeria and that he was grateful for this opportunity.

With at least 35 cases of Samsung’s new Galaxy Note7 catching fire while charging, Samsung has halted further shipments of its devices.

The South Korean company will replace the phones that have already been sold, were at retailers and were in transit, Samsung said Friday. Future shipments are delayed.

How much will the ordeal cost the conglomerate?

It’s difficult to peg given the global scale, and the greater cost may come from damage to its reputation. Indeed, while other companies, like Apple, have issued their own recalls, Samsung has not faced such burdens, especially one that is so life-threatening.

Seven months after halting production, Dangote Tomato Processing Factory, located in Kadawa Village in Kura Local Government Area of Kano State, is to resume production in December.

The Managing Director of the company, Alhaji Abdulkadir Kaita, who made the disclosure in Kano on Tuesday, explained that it halted production, principally due to the lack of raw materials to process..

The Kano State Hisbah Board said it had commenced medical screening of 1,000 prospective couples for the next Mass Wedding Programme in the state.

NAN reports that no fewer than 4, 395 prospective couples were registered by the state government to participate in the programme.

The Ekiti State’s anti-grazing law is a right move to check the excesses of herdsmen, especially when one considers what has been happening in the country in the past few years. Farmers and villagers have suffered many losses as a result of herdsmen’s activities.

In other parts of the world, cattle rearers acquire land to develop ranches. But what we have in Nigeria is different. If other states go the Ekiti way, it would go a long way to curb the excesses of cattle rearers.

ABUJA—Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa State has asked Nigerians to hold the immediate past administration of President Goodluck Jonathan responsible for the current economic recession in the country, saying despite being aware of what the future held, the then president carried on as if the economy was immune to such challenges.

The governor said for the country to get out of recession, competitiveness in line with global standard would bring about sustainability, saying aside that “there is no magic.” Badaru spoke with journalists in Abuja, shortly after he was inaugurated to head the primary election panel of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Ondo State governorship election.

Abuja – The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has allayed the fears of Nigerians over the National Bureau of Statistic’s data which indicates that the country is on economic recession. The Minister, on Friday in Abuja, said that the Federal Government is on top of the situation.

“What I can assure you is that we are on top of the situation and we are confident that the second half of the year will be better than the previous. “Some of the things that impacted on this first two quarters were the acute fall in the price of crude oil,” he said.

Nobody Can Impose One Religion On Nigeria —Kumuyi By Emma Una

CALABAR—Pastor William Kumuyi, General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has said that imposing one religion on a country will take a long process and as such, nobody can Islalmise or Christianise Nigeria.

Pastor Kumuyi, who is in Calabar, Cross River State, for a crusade, told Vanguard at the Margaret Ekpo International Airport, that no religion advocates the killing of others, so the reported killings of Christians in some parts of the country have to be investigated before reaching a conclusion on the motive behind the killings.

Uzbek President Islam Karimov has died after suffering a stroke at the age of 78, three diplomatic sources told Reuters on Friday, leaving no obvious successor to take overCentral Asia's most populous nation.

The Uzbek government did not immediately confirm the reports. Earlier on Friday it said in a statement that the health of Karimov, who has been in hospital since last Saturday, had sharply deteriorated.

The graph of life is never straight and steep as many human beings would prefer it to be. There are the straight parts, the curves and then the twists. Economies also behave in similar fashion. We call the growth period economic prosperity. When it contracts, we say there is recession.

So, recession is not only a regular occurrence in economies; it is also a universal phenomenon. It occurs in different places at different times. This means that both developed and developing countries often take their turns on depression or recession.

All my life I have fought addiction. From the basic juvenile ones such as watching porn and stealing sweets, down to the urge to rise up and beat everyone who dared curse me in school. Not that I didn’t beat those people. I was puny but had the strength of tiger and the speed of a rabbit. So I fought, got beaten, had my fair share of victories and became a legend.

How can Nigeria revive its economy?

The Federal Government should pump money into infrastruture development, which will create more jobs and boost liquidity, economists and private sector players said yesterday.

The Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS), in its Second Quarter Report released on Wednesday, said the economy contracted by 2.06 per cent to record its lowest growth rate in three decades.

The report said the economy shrank by 0.36 per cent in the first quarter of 2016 to hit its lowest point in 25 years. Unemployment grew from 12.1 per cent in the first quarter of 2016 to a record high of 13.3 percent in the second.

Finance Minister Mrs Kemi Adeosun said: “It’s the worst time possible for us”. She, however, assured all that things will get better.

I feel sorry for the manager of the U-23 national football team, Samson Siasia. The same demons that hunted down Stephen Keshi and Amodu Shuaibu are coming for him. And they are determined to get him.

But he’s a small fry – their real target is the soul of Nigeria.

We know the Keshi-Shuaibu story too well – two casualties of the system, who died within a week of each other after emptying themselves for their country.

Keshi played for Nigeria and became one of the most outstanding defenders of his generation. He later became coach and, against all odds, the first Nigerian coach to win the African nation’s cup. He was also the first black coach to go beyond the group stages in the World Cup.

TheCable is reporting that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced covert investigation into allegations of budget padding leveled against Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the House of Representatives.

According to the story, the anti-graft agency is inviting finance directors of federal ministries and agencies to come forward with details of their draft budgets and what was finally approved by the national assembly.

Ordinarily, the choice before Edo voters on September 10 should not pose a burden heavier than the simple ceremony of sieving the grain from the chaff. The contention is between APC and PDP.

But given the ongoing legal cockfight in PDP resulting in its iconic umbrella being literally torn in the courts of law between Markafi and Sheriff, it is safe to assume that a fatal preliminary own goal is already scored against the Edo branch of the once “biggest party in Africa”.

British Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt on Thursday condemned as “totally irresponsible” a plan by junior doctors in England to hold a five-day strike after the industry’s trade union escalated a long-running dispute with the government.

Eating meals late at night is putting millions of Britons at danger of suffering heart attacks, doctors have warned.

Having dinner within two hours of going to bed can leave the body on “high alert” and mean blood pressure does not fall properly overnight, increasing the risk to the heart.

Experts recommended that adults should eat ideally eat dinner before 7pm to allow the body time to wind down and rest, and warned that eating late can do more damage to the heart than having a diet high in salt, the Daily Telegraph reported.

HTC branding will apparently not appear on the devices.

Wednesday was supposed to be the day Donald Trump clarified his immigration stance.

But in a key speech on that subject he misstated facts about immigration policy, life for those in the country illegally and their impact on the US economy.

Here is a look at some of his statements in an Arizona rally in the evening and after a meeting earlier in the day with Mexico’s president.

“President Obama and Hillary Clinton have engaged in gross dereliction of duty by surrendering the safety of the American people to open borders.”
