If you always spend your money outside or on yourself, leaving out your family, God will curse you. Sure! In fact the word of God said that you should love and protect your family as Christ loves and protects the church.

Later at a press briefing, apparently after having some intel, the Governor announced that there were no fatalities. Note also that the army had already tweeted “fake news” earlier in the day when the social media was awash with videos of soldiers in an armoured tank
I currently serve as Media Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, but I remain essentially a newspaper man. There’s nothing I love better. And when done in government, the media still beckons, by the grace of God. So I felt quite at home at the NNPC event, which was designed to update the media on current developments in the petroleum industry.
I had been so busy that morning — conducting a two-hour long interview. The mobile telephone was on silence. But when her name appeared on the screen, I had to read the short message, then scream: “What? No, this cannot be true!”
But my interest grew from knowing to fascination and from fascination to respect when Mohammed became the National Publicity Secretary of the Action Congress of Nigeria, a legacy party of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
In the Nigerian universe, the EndSARS aftermath and CNN documented savagery of the Nigerian military has placed Hon. Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a fierce dilemma. Rather than refute the allegations of butchery of EndSARS protesters with official facts, the information supremo, Alhaji Mohammed, is busy gaslighting CNN and threatening sanction against transatlantic informational exchanges between Nigeria and the American news network. Such is the potent power of gaslighting that it demonises perceived enemy, opponent, rival or ambitious upstarts and make them question their own sanity.
At the turn of 2021, the next US Ambassador to the United Nations is a career diplomat who has focused her career on Africa in the past decades. Appositely, Biden has nominated Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who has been Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs and former Director of Human Resources at the State Department.
Our attention has been drawn to an ‘investigation’ by CNN, entitled ‘How a Bloody Night of Bullets Quashed a Young Protest Movement’ and aired on 18 Nov. 2020, in which the international news organization said it had ”uncovered that Nigerian security forces opened fire on unarmed protesters” at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos, Nigeria, during the #EndSARS protest.
Since May 29, 2015 when it bumbled into power, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has been moonwalking along the path of tyranny and confusion, yet pretending to be on a roller skate to integrity and democracy made in Katsina
Though the Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, is being ferociously attacked by the leadership of ASUU over his insistence on the full implementation of the IPPIS across the board, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, where IPPIS is domiciled, is also responsible for all receipts into and payments from the Federation and Consolidated Accounts.
Yes, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an already bad situation, however, we could have avoided this fate by a disciplined and prudent management of our economy.
“When are we going to raise population control to the level of a national discourse?” was the poser I posted on the social media. In the responses that followed, I saw anger. I saw frustrations. I saw sentiments. I saw despair. I saw desperation and I saw determination.
Political science scholars have been scrambling to explain this weird and atypical Nigerian political prostitution culture where a politician wakes up in the morning as belonging to a political party, by midday, is divorced from that party and by nightfall, is in bed with yet another.
Kagame has since held forte for 20 years as President of Rwanda. As he does, a world which, like a famished hyena, hungrily proclaims “democracy,” has been looking the other way as the baboon is daily bathed with blood in Kigali. In 2017 when he sought re-election, Kagame went down in the Guinness Book of Record as the first president in the world who would be elected by his people with 99 per cent votes.
We are expected to put in every effort possible to see that our kids become responsible members of the home and the society and these including proper and foundational training at home, good education, monitoring their activities, their relationships and development, giving them solid godly background and most importantly living exemplary life.
The fun is now abroad for many fans but national team football still bonds everyone together. The senior national football team is the biggest brand in the country’s sport and anything about the team is a big deal.
The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, gave an idea of what was, and what now is, in Abuja in February 2020 when President Buhari inaugurated two Agusta 109 Power and one MI-171 E helicopters.
2020 has been the year of the lockdown, masks, social distancing and regular washing of hands. 2020 has been the year of sudden departures of loved ones, here today, gone tomorrow, due to a brief illness with COVID-19. 2020 has wrought so much turmoil.
Ghana is in seven days of mourning, but Nigeria is crying more than the bereaved. Among Nigeria’s political elite, there has been a “condolence contest.” And among the wider public, the outpouring of grief and tribute on social media makes Ghana look like Rawlings’ distant second home.
There are a number of perfect justifications that the Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Umahi, could have advanced for his decampment from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress in pursuit of the presidency of Nigeria. Grounding his reason on the purported “injustice” meted out to the South East by the PDP betrays a complete absence of conscience. This ludicrous claim is fed by nothing but blind ambition.
