President Goodluck Jonathan is handing over a Nation that is in Deep Crisis, But Nigerians should not Worry - APC


The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive Party has declared that the outgoing president will be handing over a nation that is deep into crisis, without any effort of solving them before handing over to the president elect, but all Nigerians should not worry.

Read below, the full statement from APC Official Website after the cut.

" The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said President Goodluck
Jonathan is handing over a nation in deep crisis, even as his Administration continues to contrive more crises without making any effort to solve any of them.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party however appealed to Nigerians not to lose hope, despite the daunting challenges they are currently facing in this atmosphere of contrived chaos, saying help is on the way.

''In a few days' time, President Jonathan will hand over to President-elect Muhammadu Buhari. Never in the history of our country has any government handed over to another a more distressed country: No electricity, no fuel, workers are on strike, billions are owed to state and federal workers, 60 billion dollars are owed in national debt and the economy is virtually grounded

''Today, Nigerians are roaming the streets, jerry cans in hand, searching for everything from kerosene to fuel to diesel to power their homes, keep their vehicles on the road and keep their businesses going. They are paying as much as 300 Naira per litre for fuel, if at all they can get it. Yet their government is not saying a word about the situation,'' it said.

APC said while the Jonathan Administration has arrogantly told Nigerians that it remains in office and in power till May 29th, all it has been doing is sacking people and making new appointments as if it had been deprived of the opportunity to do so in the past six years.

''They are not interested in how to end the fuel scarcity that has paralyzed the socio-economic lives of Nigerians, they are not interested in how to raise electricity production from its unprecedentedly-low level of 1,327 megawatts, they are not doing anything to end the strike by blue and while collar oil workers, or to stop the impending one.

''They say they are in office till May 29th, but they do not care how workers in 18 states, who are owed a total of 300 billion Naira in salaries under their watch, or federal workers who are owed 400 billion Naira, will be paid. Yet they are running a budget of 1 trillion Naira deficit.

''They have deliberately stopped meeting their obligations to oil marketers, which is now around 200 billion Naira, hence no one is lifting petroleum products anymore. If the current energy crisis is not solved soonest, the telecommunications sector could even be grounded in a matter of days as service providers will have neither electricity nor fuel to power their base stations. Of course the aviation sector has already been left comatose by the fuel crisis. The whole scenario reeks of sabotage!,'' the party said.

APC said before PDP and Jonathan Administration's spin doctors distort its message, it is important to let Nigerians know that the party (APC) is not engaging in lamentations but simply keeping the citizenry informed of the situation on the ground, with just five days to handover date.

''If we thought the nation was being well managed and there was no problem, we would not have embarked on a campaign of change. While we are ready, willing and able to begin to address the mammoth challenges facing us as a nation as soon as we assume office at the centre in a few days' time, we will not hesitate for a second to keep Nigerians informed of how we have been brought to this sorry pass, with a view to avoiding such a tragic turn in the future,'' the party said.

It expressed sadness that the nation has been on auto pilot for the past several weeks, as the outgoing administration has shown neither the capacity nor the willingness to resolve any of the crises it has contrived and foisted on the nation.

''This is the most vivid manifestation of the old saying that literally translates to a departing office holder defecating on the chair he is vacating,'' APC said.

Open Heavens 25 May 2015: YOU ARE GOD'S SANCTUARY

Open Heavens 25 May 2015: Monday daily devotion


YOU ARE GOD'S SANCTUARY

Memorise: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? -1 Corinthians 6:19
Read: 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 (KJV)

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Bible in One Year: 2 Samuel 16-17, Mark 14:10-31

MESSAGE:
The most pleasurable sin to the flesh is sexual immorality. Incidentally, this particular type of sin is the most deadly because its consequences are not only spiritually unpleasant but also physically humiliating. In our Bible reading, Apostle Paul warned the Church at Corinth against sexual immorality. He explained that we are the temple of God. The implication of this is that your body does not belong to you, but rather, it belongs to God. He further revealed to us the judgment that would follow if we defile the temple of God - our body. In 1 Corinthians 3:17 he wrote:
"If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."
Are you currently involved or planning to go into any form of sexual immorality? God is warning you today. You better desist before it is too late. If sickness has turned your body into its permanent place of abode, and you have claimed all the promises of God concerning healing to no avail, it would be wise of you to examine yourself. Is there any sexual sin you have committed and you have not confessed? I am afraid to tell you that you may be under God's judgment, and there is nothing any anointed man of God can do about it unless you repent. You have defiled God's temple; you therefore need to make amends through genuine repentance that involves confessing and forsaking this sin entirely. I know of a man of God who appeared fervent, but suddenly he was stricken with a strange sickness. This sickness persisted for so long a time that I began to wonder what was actually responsible for his affliction. One day, the Lord decided to satisfy my curiosity. Someone came to tell me some secret things about this man of God without knowing how close I was to him. He was flirting around with women, including widows! The Bible in Proverbs 9:17 says a whore sits at the door of his or her house calling customers who lack understanding to come and patronise him or her, saying:
"Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
This is the deceit of the devil. There is nothing in that strange woman or man you are going out with that is not present in your spouse. The same scripture in Proverbs 9:18 says:
"But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell."
I pray that you will not go to Hell as a result of either pre-marital or extra-marital sexual adventures.


Prayer Point: Dear Holy Spirit, please prepare me as a pure and holy dwelling place for You in Jesus' Name.

A pair of two-bedroom former council flats have been placed in to the real estate market for more than 1 Million pound each in London.

More Pictures below

Modern: The near-identical apartments in South Kensington are marketed as being in 'a highly sought-after location which hosts an array of local amenities as well as upmarket shops, bars and restaurants'


Novel: The most expensive ex-council house – rather than flat – ever sold is thought to be two adjoining properties in south London, which fetched a joint price of £2.96million at auction in October 2013

The second bedroom in the £1million flat has been decked out in almost identical furnishings to the next door flat, owned by the same person

The view from the front doors looks out over Fulham Road, in an exclusive part of London. Both flats have been kitted out with the same look

Keppel House, where the two former council flats are situated, is close to Knightsbridge and the Victoria and Albert Museum






Nigeria -- Africa's largest oil producer -- crippled by fuel shortages




Some months after the Presidential Election and some Days before the swearing in of the President Elect in Nigeria, fuel shortages have paralyzed the country that was declared Africa's largest Economy and Oil producer, What an irony!

Large crowd are seeing gathering at every filling stations, with the hope of buying petrol, many cars were seen on a very long queue down the road creating gridlock.

This shortage has been going on since March 2015, despite the fact that NNPC produces about 2.5 million barrels of crude oil per day.

The fuel scarcity has crippled many businesses and rendered many people jobless.

The only solution to the lingering issue is for the federal government to pay the fuel importers/marketers as soon as possible.

Until that is done, the fuel scarcity will go on and the little filling stations that will open shall continue to sell the petroleum product for nothing less than 200 - 250 Naira per liter.

This is a BIG puzzle that the incoming government have to resolve.




Senate President gave President Jonathan $200, 000 24k solid Gold customized watch as a gift.


Can this be true? The Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria David Mark has reportedly given the outgoing President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Goodluck Ebele Jonathan the above $200, 000 24k solid Gold customized watch as a gift.

Na wetin eyes no go see for this our own Nigeria, when thousands of souls are dying daily due to extreme poverty in the land.

Security Zero, Health care Zero, Accommodation Zero, Free access to quality water Zero in this same country that corruption is now the order of the day.

I hope Buhari will do something miraculous to rescue this nation from the hands of many corrupt leaders.

How a school in Ajah killed my son - grieving mother writes

         


An aggrieved mother wrote linda ikeji, narrating how her son was choked to death while eating.

Read her very heartbreaking story below courtesy Lindaikeji  

"Please share my story to the world. I would have sent this earlier but it took God's Grace and courage because I am still in pain. My son's name is Oluwatamilore Holloway. I enrolled him in Debiruss creche on the 16th of September as soon as he clocked 1 on the 13th of sept, 2014. He was loving and peaceful, but I wanted him to mingle with people. On the 26th of November, 2014, I was called by the school authority to meet them at Budo Hospital in Ajah around 2pm. I was in Ajah market so I rushed there, unfortunately I did not meet my Tamilore alive, he was dead, I asked them what happened and they couldn't give me an answer.
I was told probably he was dehydrated and the hospital told me he was brought in dead. I asked the Nanny what happened, she said he woke up and she was feeding him, that she gave him the first spoon and that when she was about to give him the second spoon, he started closing his eyes, thank God for autopsy which revealed that my son died due to Aspiration of Food particles in the lungs, definitely, he was choked to death with food.
As soon as they heard the result was out, they started coming to my house to beg me, they even went to my priest in church. It had to take the intervention of my priest that I should just leave everything to God.
They came to me and they offered to close down the creche and get a Nurse for the school and that they would write my Family an Apology letter , that was in January which I haven't gotten as I write this .
I also noticed that during Christmas they had the effrontery to decorate their school, despite the fact that my son just died, they told me they had already contacted the decorator and that they couldn't stop him, they even had Christmas party which I felt it wasn't fair on my part.
I gave them 3 conditions that they should get a professional Nurse, get a CCTV for their school and they should get a Qualified child minder , but they only came back to tell me they were going to close the creche and that it will only be opened for the children of their staff.
On the 6th of May,I went to the school to find out what was happening, if they had truly closed the creche, I went in through the back gate and I went straight to the creche,I found out , they had no Nurse, one of the child minders who was working there,was still there, there was no CCTV and the crèche was not closed down, because I saw other children from outside who was also with my son in the crèche.  I was told they got a Nurse and I think the working conditions was not suitable for the Nurse so she had to leave.
My grievance is that they carried on in their normal Business as if nothing happened, and I expected them to do the needful, I did not even ask them for a dime, but I said for the sake of other children, they should get Qualified people who will take care of the children should in case first Aids has to be given but because they are money conscious, they would rather let the worst happen than prevent it, and what they do is to convert an ordinary cleaner to a Nanny or child minder to save cost. A Nanny who is not experienced and who can't even feed a child. They have to do the needful before they kill other children, who can't speak for themselves like my poor son.

Acting PDP National Chairman has ruled out Resignation of Other NWC Members

Prince-Uche-Secondus-022205.jpg - Prince-Uche-Secondus-022205.jpg

The PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu and Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees (bot), Chief Tony Anenih, resigned their positions on Wednesday.
Speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Secondus said there is no reason for any of the remaining NWC members to resign as they all have their tenures still running.
He also explained that Mu’azu was not forced to resign from his position.
The Director of Media And Publicity for the Goodluck-Sambo Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, had expressed hope that more members of the NWC will resign.
Giving his opinion after the Chairman of the PDP, Mr Adamu Mu’azu, resigned on Wednesday, Mr Fani-Kayode said the leader’s resignation was the beginning of a process.
“No Longer Popular”
He said: “Rather than create more fractures or division, it actually enhances unity and gives hope to those that are seeking change at the leadership of the party.
“I sincerely hope that one or two other members of the NWC will follow queue and also leave honourably before they are pushed out.
“When this sort of thing happens what you are in fact doing is that you are enhancing the party’s fortunes.
“When leaders that are no longer popular and no longer have the confidence of the people and party members decide to resign, it give room for fresh new leadership.
“This is a process that has just begun and I sincerely hope that it goes all the way,” Mr Fani-Kayode said.
He, however, pointed out that “not all the NWC members are bad”.
According to him, “there are few like Uche Secondus, who now leads the party, and others that are really good and have done their best”.
“Frankly speaking, there are a number of them that are still there and simply have to go. We will not keep quiet until the others have gone as well,” Mr Fani Kayode said.
The former National Chairman of the PDP had in his letter to the party’s leadership cited health reasons for his decision.

THE POWER OF SIGHT II

Memorise: By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; -
Hebrews 11:24

Read:
Genesis 13:14-18 (KJV)
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.

Bible in one Year:
Samuel 11:1-12:23, Mark 12:28-13:2

MESSAGE
The power of spiritual sight is apparent in anyone who has it. Such a person can see into the future and therefore does not exercise any form of fear. We can see these attributes manifested in Elisha in
2 Kings 6:11-18. Elisha’s servant could not see what his master saw, and so he was afraid of the human army attempting to arrest them; but read what happens in 2 Kings 6:17
“And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around about Elisha.”

People often ask me why I don’t go about with police escorts like many great men of God do. My answer is simple: it is great men who need human protection, and if only God would open the eyes of those who are so concerned about my safety, they would see that those who are with me are more than those with the enemies who would want to attack me.

What really kept Abraham going in his journey of faith was the power of what he was seeing. God, in several instances used audiovisual aids to build up his faith (
Genesis 13:14-17, Genesis 15:5-6). What God showed Abraham was so convincing that he stopped worrying about his state of childlessness until the child of promise came.

Moses also was endowed with the power of sight; he saw into the future of the Hebrew while they were still in bondage (
Hebrews 11:24-26). He saw that someday these people would be set free, while their tormentors would be in agony. He therefore preferred the temporary shame of identifying with the people of God, to the enjoyment of temporary bliss that would lead to eternal damnation. This quality qualified Moses to lead the people of God. He who sees what others can’t see will ultimately lead the rest. I pray that whatever is blocking your vision will be removed today in Jesus’ Name. A man with the power of sight will often act reasonably well. For example, after King Nebuchadnezzar saw a fourth man in the fiery furnace, his perception changed (Daniel 3:23-30). May the Lord open your eyes to see the pleasant surprises that God has in store for you, so that you don’t backslide before the time of your divine visitation.

Prayer Point: Father, please grant me the grace to remain committed to my future, and strengthen me to do all that is required of me to attain the glorious future.

THE POWER OF SIGHT I 


Memorise: Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. -Proverbs 29:18



Read: John 9:1-7 (KJV)

1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.



Bible in one Year: 2 Samuel 7:18-10:19, Mark 12:13-27



MESSAGE
There are 3 categories of sight, all of which are very important. These categories include: physical, mental and spiritual. Today’s memory verse rightly summarises the risk a person without the power of sight is taking in life. The story of the man born blind in our Bible reading shows us some of the challenges a person without the power of sight faces. For as long as he was blind, this man had to be content with sitting on one spot, begging (John 9:8). Before Jesus met this man, he was already on the verge of frustration and despondency, but after his encounter with Jesus, many things took place in his life. His life was transformed for good, such that the one who had been a liability to his parents suddenly could go out and work for a living. Also, those who had been passing black to him as white before his miraculous experience would desist from doing so, because he could now see. Moreover, the danger of falling into ditches was now history in his life. The Bible in Luke 11:34a says:

“The light of the body is the eye.”
It is a great thing to have physical sight. More often than not, what we see affects our personality and our perception of life generally. For example, because my father never saw a house fitted with a modern toilet or bathtub, he never aspired to build a house with such facilities till he died.


However, some people with physical sight lack the power of mental sight. Lack of mental sight leads to lack of knowledge which in turn leads to lack of wisdom, and as we know, wisdom is the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7). Wisdom has been defined as the correct application of knowledge, but it is only the knowledge that you have that you can apply. I pray that you will not lack mental sight in Jesus’ Name. I am praying this prayer for you because of what the Bible says in Proverbs 17:25:

“A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.”

In addition to physical and mental sight, we most importantly need spiritual sight. Having spiritual sight is the bedrock of all good success. Spiritual sight exposes you to deeper truths in the word of God. Every word of God suddenly becomes meaningful to you (2 Timothy 3:16). Those who don’t have spiritual sight to illuminate their understanding cherry-pick only those areas of scripture that favour their easy-going Christianity. You need to pray for all three categories of sight today so that you can fulfil your destiny here on earth.


Prayer Point: Father, open my physical, mental and spiritual eyes to see and buy into the great future You have for me.

Eleven days to the assumption of office, close associates of President-elect Muhammadu Buhari and  some former governors are plotting to move against the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola tinubu. The plot is to whittle down the influence Tinubu will have on the incoming government.

Obasanjo Blackmailing Buhari- Senator

Obasanjo Blackmailing Buhari- Senator

A former member of National Assembly, Senator Rowland Owie, has described ex-Pres­ident Olusegun Obasanjo’s Think-tank report as a document of blackmail for the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari,
In a statement issued in Abuja, Owie, who is also a former Chief Whip of the Senate, asked: ”How can Obasanjo be preparing a blueprint for Buhari? A Bini parable says, “how can an impotent man get medicine for his brother, who suffers weak erection”?
The Niger Delta ex-senator was disappointed that the in-coming Buhari administration is in romance with Obasanjo, saying, “Obasanjo will tell the world that the solutions he prescribed for fixing Nigeria were ignored.”
He said: “I just read Obasanjo think-tank has submitted a blueprint to Buhari. Blue what?
“I am shocked that great Nigerians of the likes of Prof. Akin Mabogunje, Dr. Idika Kalu and Dr. Christopher Kolade were involved. That Obasanjo is linked to the blue-print, it will be a document of blackmail to Buhari very soon.
“Wonders will never end! How can Obasanjo who allegedly wasted eight years in government pursuing perceived enemies, and tried to ruin the legislative and judiciary arms of government in Nigeria; wasted $16 billion on power and not a single kilowatt of energy was produced, destroyed Aladja Steel, Itakpe Steel, Ajaokuta Steel, NITEL, just to mention a few FGN parastatals, now begin to advise Buhari?
“How can Obasanjo, whose government received, in one year, a revenue equivalent of the total revenue that IBB regime received in eight years, yet, nothing to show for it, be handing over blue-print to the in-coming administration?
“While there are great legacies left behind by IBB, but Nigerians can’t find any useful legacies by a government that received the highest revenue, since the amalgamation of Nigeria.
“The legacies left behind by Obasanjo are allegedly hate, divisiveness, Zaki- Ibiam and Odi destruction, impunity in government business and the business of the PDP that was put together by well-meaning people, including my humble self, when he, Obasanjo, was in prison,” Sen. Owie said.
Owie also revealed that “the present state of PDP was created by Obasanjo when the late SB Awoniyi was rigged out in 2000 at Eagle Square and another attempt to rebuild the party through Chief Audu Ogbeh was frustrated when Ogbeh was forced to resign as PDP chairman.
“We thank God that now that Obasanjo has left the PDP, we can rebuild the party. Has Obasanjo not seen now the major achievements of Yar’Adua-Jonathan government within a short time,”? he asked.
