JABU’S VC DECRY STUDENT UNION OVER AWARD NIGHT

The vice chancellor of Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Professor Sola Fajana has expressed bitterness towards JABU Award Night, during the Wednesday community prayer service.

He decried the student Union, for deceiving the school management, and also condemned the award given to the most beautiful girl, as this was because the lady did not dress to glorify God. He further explained that he was happy that a whole Bishop that was invited to the event did not make it, as this would have tarnished the image of the school in his presence.

According to a student, who does not want his name to be disclosed, said the management only wanted to cover up for their actions, because they were laughing and enjoying themselves while olamide was performing. He further explained that Olamide should not have been accepted, when they know the kind of songs he sings, and still they paid him huge money which should have been distributed freely to JABU students.The service was later brought to an end, when Pastor D O Alabi, took the school in a round of Prayers and deliverance

Nigeria Gets Foreign Aid from 17 countries to Fight Boko Haram

     While some Nigerian politicians are talking about negotiating with Boko Haram, the military is preparing for battle with the militant group. Seventeen countries have signed on to help Nigeria increase security. 

The Nigerian military is acquiring new boats and helicopters and is fixing up fighter jets. In a speech in Abuja, Minster of Defense Bello Haliru Mohammed said training and re-training military personnel is a top priority, considering the security threats in Nigeria. The minister said Nigeria has signed military deals with 17 countries to help quell attacks blamed on the Islamist extremist group. The group is believed to have killed more than 1,000 people since it began violent operations in 2009, attacking churches, markets, schools, security forces, the local U.N. headquarters and newspaper offices.
Wole Olaoye, a political analyst with Nigeria’s Leadership newspapers, said foreign assistance could allow Nigeria to benefit from lessons learned abroad. He said this kind of clandestine insurgency is new to Nigeria and while the government looks at security approaches and the possibility of negotiations, they also should be looking at new solutions and a greater reliance on technology. Like many Nigerians, he makes a point of saying foreign assistance will not be welcomed if it threatens national sovereignty. 

Other analysts also say the longer Boko Haram is able to carry out attacks, the more reason the world outside Nigeria has to be worried. Political columnist Idang Alibi said if the group continues to operate inside Nigeria, it could branch out like al-Qaida. “If you allow a group like Boko Haram here it will become a base for the training of terrorists, they become more sophisticated and become a threat to other countries,” said Alibi. Alibi said Nigeria also should be wary of military aid because he believes the Boko Haram threat is a result of social problems, like extreme poverty and unemployment in Nigeria’s mostly-Muslim north. He said foreign assistance should not bring more weapons into Nigeria, but help the country’s economy grow.

SPORTS: AC Milan ready to sell Pato, Robinho, Cassano or Boateng

  Rossoneri might be forced to sell at least one of the four attackers to generate more funds for the transfer without selling Ibramovic and Thiago Silva.

          Rossoneri needs to sell some players ahead of the 2012/2013 season to generate more transfer funds. Ibramovic and Thiago Silva have attracted a lot of clubs and their sale will boost up the cash flow of the club but AC Milan has refused to sell them out.

Pato, Robinho, Cassano and Boateng are very important players and are part of the eleven for the past two seasons but the club sees no reason not sacrifice at least one of the players to save the team.

Pato, a 22 year old player. He is a Brazilian striker. P.S.G coach Carlo Ancelotti has interest in the Brazilian striker. He might make his move this summer.

Robinho, a 28 year midfielder and also a Brazilian player. He has been linked with a return to Santos. Although the Brazilian giant appear reluctant to pay a hefty transfer fee for the attacker. Rossoneri can’t sell him a cheap price.

Boateng has caught the attention of several Premier league clubs. The sale of the former Ghana player would generate high price for the club.

Cassano has not really caught  the interest of clubs at this point but Rossoneri that a fine display at EURO 2012 will help the attacker catch the attention of some big Europe club.

NEWS: Goodluck Jonathan Almost Fights Priest For Praying Against Corrupt Leaders !!

It was with great shock that Nigerians watched how their president, governors, ministers and many of those managing the nation’s resources failed to demonstrate a public commitment to the fight against corruption on Sunday in Abuja.

At the service held at the Ecumenical Centre, Abuja, to commemorate the 2012 Democracy Day, nfc observed that the guest preacher, Most Reverend Peter Akinola, in his sermon, challenged Mr. President and his entourage to pray against politicians stealing Nigerians wealth but unfortunately, they went blank.

The congregation, including the President, his wife, Patience, the Governor of Bayelsa, Seriake d*1*ckson and Kaduna, Patrick Yakowa, Deputy Governor of Nasarawa state, Dameshi Luka, as well as ministers failed to respond to prayers to take corrupt officials “to the court of God.”

Apparently, expecting to hear a thunderous YES from the congregation, the Reverend, who instead got a deafening silence, exclaimed: “There you go! Oh, corruption! So, you are not ready to fight it, because you are all beneficiaries of it. Whether you steal in a small or big way, stealing is stealing.”Apparently disappointed with the response he got, the clergyman shot angrily at President Jonathan and his delegation, “See, it is very clear. You are not interested in fighting corruption. If you do, let us take our case to the court of God, if you dare. Who is deceiving who? You are only deceiving yourselves, not God. And you who is stealing government funds, subjecting the poor to untold hardship; you who steal oil subsidy money, making Nigerians pay for fuel through their noses; you who steal funds meant for improving our power supply, deliberately making Nigerians live a life in utter darkness, will you repent today? I doubt it!”“

It is true that ICPC, EFCC, the Police, judiciary may not catch you stealing. But believe me, the all-seeing, all-knowing, all-wise and the almighty God sees you very clearly. But, He is patiently waiting for you to return to the path of sanity and righteousness.”
