Catholic Archbishop Of Lagos Charges Political Office Holders On Improvement Of Nigerians’ Living Standard

Archbishop-A.-Adewale-Martins

The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Most Rev. Alfred Adewale Martins, on Tuesday appealed to public office holders to demonstrate their commitment   towards improving the living standard of the electorate. Martins told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the utterances of many politicians were not geared towards achieving good governance, rather, overheating the polity.
“I think the heat that is there in the polity is affecting the quality of governance at this time.
“Those who have the charge of government now at different level need to not just be thinking about 2015 general elections but think about the present-day Nigeria and Nigerians.
“Think of how life is going to be made bearable, rather than creating the sort of tension that we are feeling at this point in time”.
He decried the undue attention being paid to the 2015 general elections, saying political leaders were losing focus on the needs of the majority of Nigerians. (NAN)

The report, published on Tuesday, also criticises the international community’s response to the crisis, noting that the peacekeeping troops have been reluctant to challenge mostly Christian anti-Balaka fighters, and have been slow to protect the Muslim minority.

The report details witness testimonies included that of a boy named Abdul Rahman who told the group that anti-Balaka fighters demanded the Muslim passengers to

Thousands flock to see 'crying' statue of Virgin Mary in Israel (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
bleeding statue of mary in isreal
Thousands of people have gathered in a small town in northern Israel to see a statue of the Virgin Mary that a family claims is “weeping oil”. Members of a Christian family from Tarshiha, near the Lebanon border, say they have witnessed a miracle in their living room.

Osama Khoury said Tuesday that his wife Amira found the statue “covered with oil” recently. Amira said the statue “spoke to her” and told her not to be afraid. After a neighbor witnessed the oil, word soon spread.

Parts of the statue appear to be slick with moisture, even after it is wiped off.
The family says it is most striking when a “tear” seems to roll down the statue’s cheek. It says some 2,000 people have come to see the statue over the last week.

Another case of CHILDBRIDE? Muslim leader oversees wedding of 12-year-old

.
The muslims meticulously want to take after their great Prophet Mohammed when the grey-haired men seek for fresh blood under-aged girls for marriage. I am not a muslim so I cannot blame them for being a faithful disciple of their master, but  As much as this is a religious practice, it has been outlawed in 90% of the muslim countries. Now what an irony. Good development though.

 It is indeed quite a shameful thing that Nigeria, an albeit "christian" country will endorse a practice that has been outlawed even in truly muslim nations! Now here is a case of such child-bride issue in another african country. Enjoy.

A Muslim leader was charged to court on Tuesday after he presided over the illegal marriage of a 12-year-old girl to a 26-year-old student visiting Australia from Lebanon. The sham marriage was performed at the home of her father, who

Mysterious 'Healing' River In Enugu State Dries Up

Since a Fulani herdsman discovered a mystery "healing river", which suddenly emerged from nowhere and took over a large expanse of land in a forest at Nnachi, in Udi LGA of Enugu State, the community has not had rest. People have continued to troop to have a spiritual bath and be made whole. However, it seems the party is coming to an end, so to say, as the river is drying up, and fast!

Checks revealed that the river is disappearing, with only a small muddy portion remaining. For the people of Nnachi, the drying up of the river is not a surprise. They said that the mystery river usually sprang up every seven years and lasts for seven days before disappearing. They, however, confessed that the last time the river emerged was  about 30 years ago before appearing last November and remaining in place for more than three months.

The water, which has been nicknamed ‘River of Bethsaida,’ is located about a kilometre into the bush, off the old Awka – Enugu Expressway. Indeed, since the water appeared in the first week of November 2013, the area has turned to a

Pastor Kumuyi Has A Message For Nigerians, SEE What He Said

Dr WF Kumuyi
The General Overseer, Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, on Sunday urged Nigerians to always resort to prayer to resolve the problems confronting them individually and as a nation. Kumuyi gave the charge during a special programme held at the church headquarters in Abuja.

He said that worry and anxiety could not bring solutions to the challenges facing individuals or the nation but prayer was necessary to turn things around. The cleric enjoined Christians not to resort to human wisdom, rioting, fighting or mere debates in addressing the challenges of life but to remain steadfast in prayers.
“When Peter was kept in the prison, prayer was made for him; not politics, not human wisdom, not debate, not rioting, not fighting, but prayer.
“When there is a problem, we should resort to prayer,” Kumuyi said.
According to the cleric, God is always ready to step in and fight for his own in time of trouble. He, therefore, urged the people to move closer to God and surrender their affairs to Him

BIZZARE: This Church Allows Members Attend Service Naked...Just like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (PHOTOS)

photo

OK, you all will be quick to refute this news but if it came from CNN, you can believe it a little. lol. Indeed bizarre things do happen...in the church! What can i say? More photos after the gist.

So A church in the US state of Virginia, White Tail Chapel, has taken the bizarre decision to allow its congregation attend church services naked. Because according to their leader, Pastor Allen Parker, the clothing requirements of other churches were overly 'pretentious'. So he decided his own flock should be free to forgo such materialism if they desire.

Pastor Allen claims that many of the most important moments in the Bible happened while the protagonists were nude, including Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Speaking to CNN, Mr Parker said:
'When he [Jesus] was born he was naked, when he was crucified he was naked and when he arose he left his clothes in the tomb and he was naked. If God made us that way, how can that be wrong?'
Mr Parker is believed to have drawn at least some of his opinions on nudity from the book of Genesis, in which Adam and Eve were originally described as 'both

 Pastor Tunde Bakare: A chameleon of words or just another politician on the pulpit? According to the NIGERIANBULLETIN, The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly and former Vice Presidential candidate under the Congress for Progressive Change, Pastor Tunde Bakare made some inciting quotes about the APC and less than a fortnight later, has distanced himself from quotes stating that APC is the Church of Satan.

The Quote was:
“APC is like a newly opened church of Satan with the evil as a Pastor which could not be distinguished by Nigerians from a true living Godly Church and hence could be mistaken for a real Church, even when it was made of thieves (Legitimate Pen Robbers), that is why they ganged up against Local Government fiscal Autonomy using crumbs from stolen

UNBELEIVABLE: 10 Most Corrupt Countries in the World...NIGERIA didnt make the list.

most corrupt

Everybody despairs at corruption in government, and it’s unsettling to see how prevalent and deep it runs. While some countries enjoy high levels of freedom and transparency, others are cloaked in secrecy to hide incidents of embezzlement, nepotism, and violence. Some of the countries on this list are dictatorships; others try to put on the pretense of democracy and fail dismally. The following countries are scored on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean) on the 2012 Corruption Perception Index, created by Transparency International. Although no country had a perfect score, more than half scored below 50, indicating an endemic problem with corruption worldwide.

Now these are one of those moments am proud to be a citizen of the "Giant of Africa": of the list of 10 most corrupt countries in the world, NIGERIA was not shortlisted. am sure we also didnt make the top 20 most corrupt list but By faith, i hope we wont be listed in the 50 most corrupt list. *wink*
so see the list below:

You thought you were just one little family in your cottage, you had good times and bad times with your nuclear family and at the exit of your dad (or husband as the case maybe) you thought, "well, Life goes on. atleast i still have my brother and sister, my mum, or my little children are okay for me to take care of" but not until some other "wife"s and "children" begins to prop up to lay claims to your father's name? Well, even a world hero, MANDELA was not left out.

News lately are becoming rather surprising. Well, we should take with a pinch of salt. Recently Obama confessed publicly that he accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour and Justin is taking a cue--path to reconciliation. So the story today can be likened to the prodigal son remembering his roots.

Justin Bieber reportedly scoured New York City over the weekend for a private pool where he could be baptized through Hillsong NYC church, led by his close friend Pastor Carl Lentz.”Justin and his team spent time on Saturday searching for a place with a pool where they could conduct a baptism for him, a cleansing ritual, with the Hillsong Church. But they couldn’t find a place in time,” one person, among “multiple sources,” told the New York Post’s.

The publication reports a second source as saying, “Justin is serious about his Christian faith, and after recent events, he needed to take a pause.” Bieber, reportedly in NYC on Saturday for Maxim magazine’s Super Bowl party, was

Rapper turned singer, OBIWON, is famously known for his hit tract,’Obim o’. He has been said to have left his career as a banker for music where he did relatively well with his first album. It was a shocking surprise when he left the secular world to join the gospel music but had to strive to convince the Christian community that he was for real.

He admits It took Obiwon six years for him to be accepted as a gospel artiste. Then he was able to bring out two albums and he was fully welcomed. the rin an interview with the NET, he opened up about his career and how far he has fared in the industry since he joined the gospel artistes
He said, ‘Christians are very difficult to convince, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. I really don’t blame anybody because I think it takes a while to get into the role of being a minister of music in gospel.’
He added, ‘I even had an occasion where the youth of a particular church invited me to come and minister at a church and when the pastor heard, he said “On my altar? Obiwon? Never!” These were some of the early challenges until I started getting accepted.’

WORD FOR THE DAY: Nothing Lasts Forever, Invest Your Money---Singer Kefee

Click for Full Image Size
Add caption
It has always been a ringing tone advice to every celebrity to invest their money, while some are investing theirs, others are living lavishly, having babymama's here and there. Popular singer kefee has said she thinks every musician needs to have another source of income, especially when they are still young and so much in the game. According to her, all creative talents are from God and what we gain from them should be regarded as gifts; they come free and while we still work hard to make a living from them, we should also do other things.
"I work hard on my music and I earn money from it, but it does not end there for me. I am very passionate about food and cooking and that is why I started a restaurant business two years ago.
They also have to channel the money they have made from music into another business, by doing that they will have an insurance and pension for their old age and for their younger generation. Nothing lasts forever", she said.
Word for the wise. It is quite a pity how we reminice artist who were mega-stars in yesteryears when money had good value, only for them to emerge 10 - 15 years later been broke and probablly down with one terminal illness and seeking for public funds to do a life-saving surgery.

Unfortunatly for them, the world is getting harsh by the day,  and most of them ends up dead before the could gather enough sympathy. The message is not only for artist though, but also for you and I. Save for the rainy day.

new version of bible to be written by Harry Potter's author, JK Rowlings

News has it that Pope Francis has hired famous and revered children’s author JK Rowling to rewrite the Bible. You know JK Rowlings, the woman that wrote the Harry Porter series. It is hoped the author, most famous for her Harry Potter series, can make it the bible more accessible and believable for a new generation of Catholics and Christians.

While the specifics of the rewrite are not yet known, it is believed Rowling is tasked with producing a compelling tale that young Catholics and Christians can engage with. Figures such as dementors and other popular creations may take the place of less realistic Biblical creatures such as unicorns and the leviathon.
Rowling’s selection has raised some eyebrows but the decision by Pope Francis to select the wildly popular author is mainly due
