PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND THE AMERICAN PRESS


 President Donald Trump of the United States may not be that eloquent, but apparently he sure has guts.  The way a section of the American Press have treated him is anything but humane.  The embattled President have had to contend with all manner of insults – especially from those around him and the Press whom he has since branded as “fake”.  Nowhere else are these attacks so vicious than the Robert Mueller Probe into the Russian meddling of the American 2016 elections.  Instead of being rattled, the American President is fighting back—and the fight is becoming real dirty. Decorum has even been sacrificed with the combatants using any weapon available to inflict maximum damage against each other. But the question must be asked: are the Americans not exposing their flanks? A poll result conducted recently in a section of the Nigerian community showed that a good number of respondents are unimpressed. Yet, it is true that Americans must protect their Democracy, but at this rate, they should be rattled—at least for the giant stride the Russians are making in the weapons development region.

Take Syria for example; Putin is consolidating; Iran is creeping closer than ever to Israel, and even arming their proxies.  North Korea is inches away from being nuclear capable, not to mention rising domestic violence.  Will the Democrats—perceived as the major foes in this crushing—fight-to-finish- let go? Will the Republicans simply fold their hands for their man to be destroyed? The endgame may not be predictable; but certainly, Americans may just be the losers.  This is not the time to implode—or chase shadows; the world has become too dangerous to be left in the hands of the gathering forces from the middle-east.

WORSHIPPERS THRONG TO KUJE FOR BISHOP DAVID EDOBOR (ANGEL 1)

Kuje, a suburb in the capital city of Abuja is witnessing an unusual traffic: hundreds of worshippers are seen trooping to stadium road in Kuje where Bishop David Edobor, General Overseer of the Joshua Generation Church is blazing the trail, performing spiritual feats, healing, delivering and restoring damaged destinies. The young General Overseer popularly known as “mathematical prophetic” “accuracy bazooka” has declared repeatedly: ‘you can doubt my prophesies, but you cannot doubt the outcome!” Preaching last Sunday, 16 th September, the cleric disclosed that the examination of life has no timetable unlike that of common exams. He said that is the reason why worshippers must not toy with their destiny background-and where they come from. Bishop Edobor has restored many destinies and not a few people have had breakthroughs in marriage, travel overseas, employment, healing, etc. The Edo State born man of God has been variously described as “small oyedepo” from the way he prea...

STOP THE ILLEGAL DETENTIONS IN ICPC NOW BUHARI TOLD

The Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Matters Offences Commission (ICPC) were set as an anti-corruption agency to rein in persons involved in suspected shady deals and sharp practices. But in recent times as investigations have revealed The commission appears to have derailed as it is fast losing that tag as an anti-corruption agency.  Preliminary investigations have unearthed some sharp practices of illegal detentions on spurious charges, unauthorized raid and sealing of victims houses and unwarranted blockages of victim’s accounts. “This bad practice must be discontinued” declared Mr Rafiu Ibrahim, Secretary-General of Association for Good Governance and Transparency (AFGT). Throwing more light on the sad development, the Secretary-General wondered why the ICPC would detain without charges any suspected Nigerian for upwards of two weeks without proceeding to court, while systematically extorting various sums of money from the detained Nigerian.  The Secretary-Ge...
