THE UNITED NATION’S DOUBLE STANCE IN WORLD AFFAIRS



Question mark are beginning to appear over the real mission of the United Nation body.  These questions are pertinent especially from three main angle: The North Korean debacle; the Iranian Intransigence in the strait of Homuz and the murderous wars in Syria and Yemen.  The recent destruction of part of the Saudi’s Aramco Oil fields by the Houthi rebels, without a strong response from the United Nations are cause for concerns to the civilized world.  “Their inactions are sending the wrong messages”, said one Paul Usoro.  “You get the impression that they are toothless and weak”, he stressed.

In reality, the world is drifting into chaotic environment with individual nations threatening to wipe out another without any serious rebuke or reprimand.  With North Korea firing ballistic missiles daily, Hezbollah amassing rockets; Houthi rebels bombing oil installations and civilians massacred in Syria, the United Nations must live up to expectations – or fold up!  The level of intolerance cannot be allowed to exacerbate further.  Otherwise, the unexpected may erupt.  The first step to enforce is the condemnation of the Iranian standoff.  They must be called to order.  The world can least afford another conflagration

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...

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...
