Governor Amaechi's secret on how he won the Governorship case at the Supreme Court

While attending a Christmas Day service at Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Church in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi revealed his ‘secret’ for winning the governorship seat in the state. In his own words:
“As a government led by me, a government installed by Christ, if anybody tells you he installed me, tell him it is a lie. Tell him that I said I prayed for 10 months and I fasted from 6am to 6pm, calling on Christ to come down and Christ came down mightily and installed me as governor.
“That is why you can see that in the face of human effrontery, I have been able to stand face to face with them and I say I have Christ in me.”
Amaechi didn’t slip on the opportunity to take a swipe at the Federal government as he blamed it for the widespread insecurity in the country.Then he went all spiritual:
 “You must rise in that same spirit of having Christ in you and confront those who are confronting you. You must stand up for Christ because the Bible says ‘faith without work is dead.’
“We must not die. We must live and the way to live is to celebrate Christ and the way to celebrate Christ is to confront Satan and Satan is in different forms and shapes. If the police shoot at you, they are satanic. If government denies you your right to live, that government is satanic.”

Zimbabwe closes door at Nigerian businesses

Zimbabwe government tells foreign shop owners to close businesses by January 1
HARARE, Zimbabwe -- Zimbabwean authorities say they have given foreign shop-owners --mostly Chinese and Nigerian nationals-- an ultimatum to shut down their businesses by Jan. 1.
A top official of the black empowerment ministry said only Zimbabweans had the right to run shops that have sprung up across the country and are termed foreign businesses targeted under the nation's black empowerment laws, the state-controlled Herald newspaper reported Friday.
Those laws, passed in 2007, demand foreign businesses to cede 51 per cent control to local blacks.
The foreign shop owners have been criticized for taking retail trade opportunities from Zimbabwean traders by selling cheap imports.
Poor townships and city flea markets have in recent years been inundated by shops run by foreigners.
According to state media, shop owners who fail to comply will be arrested.

Gunmen Rape student to Coma

Some Gunmen yesterday raped a young female student of the University of Calabar to a state of Coma. The Hoodlums attacked the hostel located somewhere around Mount Zion road by Inyang Edem and molested all the female students that were found in the vicinity and carted away their valuables.
On realizing that one of the female students was a virgin, they each took turns to take a taste of virgin blood.
How Pathetic

Angola outlaws Islam

culled from barenaked

By popular demand, Angolan authorities have taken pre-emptive action and decided to ban the Muslim religion, which they consider a cult, NOT a religion. They see what Muslims are doing to Christians, especially in Africa, and are taking steps to prevent the same from happening in Angola.

Xibaaru  In early October 2013, the Muslims living in Luanda in the municipality of Viana Zango were shocked to see the minaret of their mosque dismantled into pieces on the ground without permission. On Thursday 03 October in the morning, the Angolan authorities decided to destroy the mosque Zango located in the urban district of Viana 17 km. The governor of Luanda Bento announced in a radio spot that radical Muslims are not welcome in Angola and the Angolan government is not ready for the legalization of mosques in Angola.

And on Tuesday, November 19, the Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva said. “Regarding Islam, the legalization process has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. Therefore all mosques would be closed until further notice. “ It should be noted that the Angolan government has made closing of all mosques a priority. The only two mosques located in Luanda have already received a warning document  signed by the mayor of the municipality of Viana José Moreno.

Poste reveille  (h/t Susan K) The provincial governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said on the airwaves of local radio that “radical Muslims are not welcome in Angola and the Angolan government is not ready for the legalization of mosques.” Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva explained that the law on freedom of religion will be reviewed given the current national context , noting that the Government will redouble its efforts to fight relentlessly against religious cults like Islam which are contrary to the customs of Angolan culture.

95% of Angola’s population is Christian. A quarter belongs to Protestant churches founded during the colonial period, including congregational evangelical church.

This decisive action taken by the Angolan head of state is based on a desire to guard against the rise of the Wahhabi ideology that has created havoc, death and destruction in Africa and elsewhere. And as rightly explained Tunisian philosopher Mezri Haddad: “Islamism and Islamophobia feed each other. Worse, long-term Islamism as an ideology destroy Islam as religion. “

Baptism of fire

Some people are taking the concept of holy fire concept out of context. when an adult out of anger takes irrational actions she should be ready for irrational consequences.

A.According to P.M. News, the police at Idimu, Lagos state in Nigeria have arrested the wife of a pastor[I hope not Mountain of Fire], Mrs. Angela Uzoma, for pouring hot water on her sister.
She was arraigned before the Ejigbo Magistrates’ Court for injuring the teenager. The 28-year old housewife who is also the women’s leader in her husband’s ministry at Shasha allegedly poured hot water on Chidinma Chukwu, causing her serious injury.

The incident happened at their residence at Ifelodun Street Orisunmbare, Shasha, Lagos State, western Nigeria. We gathered that the pastor’s wife accused the 14-year old Chidinma of selling only few pawpaws on the fateful day. Angela, according to the police investigating officer (IPO), had warned Chidinma to ensure that she did not come back home without selling all the pawpaws packed in her tray for sale that day. Unfortunately, she did not sell everything and Angela became angry, accusing her of being too playful.


The culprit tried to hide the incident by refusing to take her to a hospital. Instead, she arranged with a nurse who was treating her at home. The matter came into the open when a samaritan*cough*amebor heard of it and reported to the police at Idimu. Angela was promptly arrested. Narrating what happened, Angela said she did not intentionally pour water on her, adding that she brought her from the village to train her and she was hawking pawpaw to assist the family to feed. “It is the devil’s work and I regret what happened. I want to settle this matter out of court,” she begged.

Her husband, Pastor Paul Uzoma, described the incident as unfortunate. “When I heard of it, I blamed my wife and told her she went too far,” he said. He, however, said his wife meant well for the girl and that was why she brought her to Lagos to train her[ask me,more like slave her].

When she was arraigned in court on Tuesday, she pleaded not guilty. The presiding magistrate, Mr. P.E Nwaka granted her bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum. She was ordered to be remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri, Apapa when she couldn’t fulfill the conditions attached to her bail. The matter has been adjourned till 12 December, 2013

Nigerian Makes One hundred and twenty Three Million Dollars in shares in three weeks

I guess I would have also been smiling had I made the proper choice. As at 2010 when faced with the prospect of either investing in Transcorp or investing in DaarComms, I chose DaarComms which the Executive Chairman runs with the greatest level of impunity. Not only has there been no AGM, the Chairman continues to lavish company funds on his private matters. I guess he has a lot to learn from this distinguished gentleman

It’s just paper gains, but it counts. Nigerian banker Tony O. Elumelu has become at least $123 million richer between November 1 and November 21 as shares of Transcorp PLC, a Nigerian-Stock Exchange-listed conglomerate, surged 186% in that period.
Transnational Corporation Of Nigeria, usually referred to as Transcorp, is an emerging conglomerate holding investments in hotels, power and agriculture. On November 1, the company’s stock was trading at N1.87 ($0.01), and at the close of trading today (Thursday), the stock was trading at N5.35 ($5.35). According to an analyst who did not want to be quoted, there has been an unprecedented demand for Transcorp’s shares at the bourse on account of the company’s recent acquisition of the Ughelli Power plant, a strategic power generation company that the government recently sold in a privatization exercise. Transcorp PLC, under Elumelu’s leadership,  acquired the plant for $300 million. Transcorp officially took over the plant on November 1. Investors are scrambling for the stock in anticipation of the long-term impact the new acquisition will likely have on Transcorp’s financial results.
Elumelu began gobbling up shares in the company in April 2011 through his wholly-owned proprietary investment vehicle, Heirs Holdings. In September 2011, he was appointed chairman of the company, promising to diversify the company’s business interests and deliver value to shareholders – promises he seems to have delivered on. He currently owns over 5.7 billion shares of the company (5,745,890,693 to be exact, according to Transcorp’s latest corporate filings), held in his own name and via Heirs Holdings, equating to a 22.26% stake, making him the company’s largest individual shareholder. His shares in Transcorp alone are now valued at N30.7 billion or $188 million.  A representative for Elumelu could not be reached for comment at press time.
Elumelu made his fortune by acquiring a small, struggling Nigerian commercial bank and building it into the United Bank of Africa Group, a leading financial services institution with operations in several African countries as well as in New York and London. He stepped down as the bank’s CEO in 2010 to focus on investing in African businesses through his private investment vehicle, Heirs Holdings and to groom Africa’s next generation of business leaders through his Tony Elumelu Foundation.

Man Sues Italy, Israel and Pontius Pilate over the crucifixion of Jesus Christ

Like Seriously? According to ChristianPost; Dola Indidis, a lawyer, Roman Catholic, and former spokesperson for the Kenyan Judiciary, filed the lawsuit regarding Jesus’ death with the International Court of Justice, the primary judicial branch of the United Nations based at The Hague in the Netherlands. Indidis filed the lawsuit against Pontius Pilate, several Jewish elders, King Herod, Tiberius (Emperor of Rome 42 BC-37AD), the Republic of Italy and the State of Israel. “I filed the case because it’s my duty to uphold the dignity of Jesus and I have gone to the ICJ to seek justice for the man from Nazareth,” Indidis told the Nairobian in a recent interview. “His selective and malicious prosecution violated his human rights through judicial misconduct, abuse of office bias and prejudice.” Indidis claims the goal of his lawsuit is to have “a declaratory judgment declaration that the trial judgment and sentence entered were badly done and therefore null and void,” according to The Blaze. Additionally, the lawyer argues that Jesus’ sentence was incompatible with Galilean law at the time, as the sentence for blasphemy was being stoned to death, not crucifixion. According to the Jerusalem Post, Indidis named the Republic of Italy and the State of Israel in the lawsuit because when these two states gained independence, they incorporated the laws of the Roman Empire into their new government systems. These are the same laws that were in effect when Jesus was crucified. Indidis initially submitted his case to the Kenyan High Court in Nairobi in 2007, but it was rejected for not having enough legal standing, especially since parties Indidis wishes to prosecute have been dead for 2,000 years. Although Standard Media reports that the International Court of Justice has created a preliminary panel to consider Indidis’ case, an ICJ spokesperson told Legal Cheek that it would not be considering the case, as it is out of its jurisdiction. The ICJ usually focuses on territory disputes between countries belonging to the United Nations. “The ICJ has no jurisdiction for such a case. The ICJ settles disputes between states. It is not even theoretically possible for us to consider this case,” the ICJ spokesperson told Legal Cheek. - See more at: http://www.ghanacelebrities.com/2013/08/01/obs-a-lawyer-sues-israel-italy-and-pontius-pilate-for-jesus-crucifixion/#sthash.rUeJmr18.dpuf

Navy to start generating revenue for government

 Could this be true- that the Nigerian Navy that has the statutory responsibility of defending the territorial integrity of the nation by protecting the waterways of the country is now so idle that it wants to start building war ships for sale. Apart from the fact that this is outside their statutory responsibility, it is pertinent to note that this is not the first time that such comments would have been made without any efforts being made to achieve it.
In other climes, Governments encourage private sector participation in defense projects while the members of the armed forces are preoccupied with defending the nation. A report emanating from NAN goes thus

 The Nigerian Navy says it is building commercial war ships for export within the African countries.The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Adm. Dele Ezeoba, said this on Tuesday when he inspected the second indigenous patrol ship under construction at the Naval Dockyard, Victoria Island, Lagos.Ezeoba expressed confident that the Nigerian Navy was skilled enough to build patrol ships between 10 and 38 metres in size for export.“The Nigerian Navy will no longer buy a ship of between 10 and 12 metres in size, because we have the capacity and capability to build them in our dockyard,’’ he said.According to him, the ship under construction is in the same class with first indigenous 31 metres patrol ship, NSS Andoni, but was redesigned and upgraded to 38 metres.Ezeoba said that the ship building business would not only attract economic value but create job for hundreds of thousands of Nigerians in the maritime sector and beyond.He assured that the second indigenous ship would be delivered to Nigerian Navy by the dockyard for its inauguration into the fleets latest by June 2014.At the NSS Beecroft, the Naval Chief also inaugurated four new patrol shaldag mante boats to enhance operational capability of the base in addition to the six of their class which were inaugurated in December 2012.Earlier, while addressing officers and rating at the Naval Training Command, Apapa, Ezeoba announced plan to build a new Navy barrack in Abuja in order to address the accommodation problem in the service.He said that the Naval Headquarters was looking at the possibility of channelling the lodging allowances of officers and ratings, which amounted to N3.6 billion annually, into building more houses within a year

how to impress your boss

Regardless of whether you love or loathe your boss, this is the individual you need to impress if you want to get ahead and enjoy a fruitful career. Get on the right side of your boss and you’ll not only have a better chance of future promotion, the workplace in general will be a more pleasant environment for you. Below, we look at 5 tips to help you get in the good books of the boss. We are assuming that you’re a competent employee with a reasonable work ethic since most staff members in an organization have issues getting recognition rather than merely completing their daily tasks.
Be the Vacuum
By this we mean that you need to become the employee that completes all the little tasks everyone else forgets about. This can range from a specific work process to ensuring the air conditioning is turned on in the morning. This doesn’t mean you should become the office mule but it’s important to take some pride in your work. Un-jamming the photocopier is a perfect example; it happens a lot, is irritating and most people have no idea how to fix it. Becoming the office problem solver will garner attention from the boss.
Highlight Innovations
Although the ideal scenario is for you to be the innovator, the next best thing is to show that you’re on top of the latest trends in your industry. Look for news stories that cover your industry, scan and send a copy to everyone, including your boss, via email. By showing your awareness of the organization’s role in the bigger picture, you send out a powerful message to the boss.
Keep a Neat Work Space
This isn’t as easy as it looks! Too neat and it looks like you’re doing nothing, too cluttered and you look disorganized. Assuming you have a personal filing cabinet, use it! Make sure your papers are neatly ordered and take a minute or two at the end of each work day to clean it up. Savvy bosses notice this kind of thing.
First In, Last Out
This is another balancing act because staying too late makes it look like you’re falling behind. Think of punctuality from the perspective of your boss: an employee that barely makes it in on time looks like he doesn’t care about work and is only there because he has to be. An employee that is always 10-15 minutes early looks eager to be at work and gives off a positive impression.
Improve Your Fashion Sense
If you want to be promoted, be aware of how employees a step up from you dress and emulate it. Arriving at work looking scruffy makes it appear as if you don’t care about promotion and don’t worry, you won’t get one!

GOOGLE GLASS

It is clear that nowadays Google Glass is creating a lot of hype in the media. Google has said that the product will eventually create mainstream once it reaches the marketplace. Estimates have indicated that Google glass will not be available until 2014.
You may be asking yourself “why all the buzz?”.  The truth is Google Glass will have a vital impact on how to use digital media and how to carry out various functions like taking photos or videos and sending speech-to-text messages.
Google glasses are worn just like any other glasses and they can be activated to function via commands. You may for example want directions to a local pub or restaurant, you can use Google Glass commands to get there. The directions appear right in front of your eyes.
You can update your current view by building a web cam and using it with the Google maps or GPS to help you get to the location you want. The results for the information or direction you want will be shown on a prism which is also located above your eye line.
Another good thing about Google Glass is that it can be used to record videos. You may want to record a special occasion for your family. All you need is to record the event and then send it direct to email or text.You can also share it with your friends and loved ones. Google Glass will also help you to hang out with groups on Google plus and this will help you engage in different activities.
Google Glass contains Apps that help with the development and the process of how it works. Video conferencing is one of the additional options that come with the glass as it is easier to implement.
Even with the high technology and efficiency that Google glass comes with, It does raise concerns on how many problems it can bring on one’s privacy.
For instance, you may be in a party and you find someone wearing the Google Glass, you may not be sure whether or not he is recording you or the other people on the party. Google glass functions in a less flashy if not totally hidden manner.
The truth is that you may not be too sure of what Google Glass can do with your information. As you wear the glass your privacy and security is not assured any longer.

has technology reached its end


Do you think that technology has started to reach its limits and that there isn’t much room left for innovation? Do you think that at some point, we simply won’t be able to develop any further? Or do you think that technology will never stop progressing and that the world will become more and more interconnected? Personally, I think we will continue advancing until the human race dies off, and no one can even imagine how far we will go. The best thing for buyers and providers  is that they are in an ideal position to succeed as technology advances.
Moore’s Law
Moore’s Law is one thing that shows that the human race will continue to advance in terms of technology. In 1965 Gordon E. Moore, a co-founder at Intel, noticed that the number of transistors on integrated circuits was doubling every two years or so. This means that every two years integrated circuits are much more advanced than they were previously because more transistors means that the circuits can work faster. This “law” has been consistent since the 1950s, and this is evidence that technology is advancing ever onward.
Where the Freelancers Fit
How many of you have providers or buyers who live in a different country from you? Despite being hundreds if not thousands of miles apart, you are still able to work together. As technology advances, the world gets smaller and smaller. This means that the things that used to be barriers, such as distance, matter less and less.
Freelancers are already accustomed to this. As a group, we are used to using innovative technologies like Skype, Dropbox, Google Drive, and more. Technologies like these make it easier to work with buyers all around the world. In many instances, freelancers are some of the first users of technologies like these because freelancers are used to trying new things. Most freelancers are very flexible. They can work from just about anywhere, and many of them work in a variety of fields. As technology makes the traditional office setup more and more obsolete, freelancers will be ready.
As Technology Advances, You Can’t Stand Still
If you stand still, everyone will pass you by. Freelancers need to stay up to date in order to stay competitive. You can do this by reading various blogs about new technology. Take note of what you can use in your freelancing business. For example, Dropbox might be useful for content writers since it can be used to send a large amount of documents to buyers.
Staying up to date also means keeping your hardware and software up to date. Computers and laptops need to be replaced periodically. Most people replace their computers every two to five years, and desktops generally last a little longer since they’re not moved around as often. No matter which field you work in, you will want to keep your software up to date as well. For example, a writer shouldn’t use a really out of date word processor.
As long as the human race exists, there will be innovation and new technology because the imagination of the human race simply cannot be repressed. Freelancers will thrive as technology advances because they are used to breaking traditions and trying new things

outsourced hosting versus in-house hosting

Do I really need managed IT hosting? This is a question many business owners encounter at some point. Managing your IT hosting means that you need to buy, build and run IT infrastructure on your own and this is no easy feat especially when you should be giving your business more time and energy to grow. Taking the big picture into consideration, outsourcing is not just the most convenient option it also makes most sense in terms of costs as well. Here are some of the advantages of managed services as opposed to in house.
Costs
The first advantage of having an IT hosting service as opposed to managing your network in-house is costs. Though most people are of the opinion that outsourcing hosting costs more, it is in fact more cost effective. To begin with, you do not have to acquire expensive hardware and equipment. You also need to remember that technology is ever changing and you may need to constantly upgrade and maintain utility costs which in the long run cost you more. With an IT hosting service, you only need to pay a monthly cost and you are sorted. There are no uncertainties or unpredictable costs.
Quality Assurance
You get predictability when you have a service provider. These services come with service level agreements or SLAs that guarantee the client constant uptime, quick hardware replacement, fast response times and more. This means that your business is always up and running no matter what. Such assurance cannot be overlooked as it also guarantees your clients of great services all the time as well.
Productivity
Managing your IT internally comes with a lot of risks and could threaten productivity in the workplace. Should the key employees running your infrastructure leave your company, this could destabilize business especially when you have no one else capable of running the internal environment. Outsourcing saves you from having to deal with such a situation since you are guaranteed of constant uptime.
Security
Web host services work with different businesses and environments. This means that their security efforts are always in best form. Some of the security measures put in place are: employee background checks, video surveillance, controlled access to facilities, vulnerability scanning and file integrity monitoring just to mention a few. They guarantee you of security since they have the compliance certifications which by the way are really expensive to acquire as an in-house provision to your clients.
The list goes on and on, the advantages you get with managed IT hosting are vast. There are many things you need to consider and quite frankly, outsourcing relieves you of the burden and responsibility while guaranteeing you constant uptime and security.

life coach by uju onyechere

A group of experts decided that all coaches "should have proficiencies in listening, creating an environment for change, facilitating self-awareness, and should be able to work with personal, professional, and perhaps organizational issues about which their clients want to focus."

Dr. Lee Smith and Dr. Jeannine Sandstrom further noted that "executive coaching is a facilitative one-to-one, mutually designed relationship which exists... for the benefit of a client who is accountable for highly complex decisions."
...

A good coaching interaction should include such elements as "the ability to be fully present, conscious and spontaneous, the ability to ask powerful questions, be a direct communicator, and raise the client's awareness."

An advanced coach would also "hold a high level of confidence, challenge people at high levels, speak the truth and the secrets when no one else will. They also must be a confidante, which allows adults to share all sides of themselves; their hopes as well as fears, their wants as well as their needs; their dreams for themselves as well as for their organizations."

Coaching is getting the attention of church leaders, too. George Bullard wrote: "Coaching is an emerging right brained approach that sees relationship as more important than tasks, significance as more important than success, stories as more important than strategies, experience as more important than rule books, people as more important than institutions, soaring with strengths as more important than problem solving."
Life coaching may not have gained enough recognition in this part of the world, but those who have experienced it so far seems to be better than their peers. If I were you, I will make every effort to get one soon. It is worth the sacrifice.

principle of success by uju onyechere



Christine was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given a short time to live. Dan and Christine began to live each day with tremendous clarity and love.

When it was nearly the end, a friend got up the courage to ask Christine the question: "What does it feel like to live each day knowing you are dying?" She raised herself up on one arm, and then asked him, "What does it feel like to live each day pretending that you are not?"

An author once said that one of the most powerful questions for focusing is asking yourself: "What would I be doing with my time if I knew I had only six healthy months to live?" It can immediately cause you to reorganize your priorities.

It is up to you to decide on who you want to be and what you want to be about in this world. For a tree too bear fruits the shoot must be in constant touch with the roots.

My assignment is to help you go from being a lightbulb, illuminating a small space, to a laser beam, powerful enough to cut through steel.

Paul writing to Philippians said, "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead." (3:13)

Remember: A new broom may sweep better, but it is the old broom that knows all the dirty corners. My gospel is for You to succeed!

follow your heart

In his twenty-year study of some 2,000 individuals, most of whom were businessmen, Dr. Srully Blotnick noticed that “the companies run by executives who inherited their position were characterized by the highest level of destructive competition among its top management.” This refers to inherited situation, not where the family builds the firm together.

One of two sons of company founder Dean Witter, Bill worked his way from registered representative to head of institutional sales, learning the brokerage business as he progressed. At the age of 36, he decided that, for him, success would not be spending the next 20 years waiting to take over the firm which bore his father’s name.
...
Noting that many of his friends were working for themselves, Bill Witter founded his own brokerage firm, specializing in servicing institutional clients with information on small business. He later merged this operation with another company to head his own organization, William D. Witter, Inc., managing investments worth over $400 million for pension funds and other institutional investors. Rather than becoming an insecure manager following a set line of progression in the family firm, Bill Witter aggressively pursued and achieved success on his own.

I have had a lot of young people come to me with one problem. Their parents always want them to do this or that. Others are required to study a particular course to enable them take over the family business. It happens that these young people want something different from that of their parents. My advice is always “follow your heart.”

If you don’t love what you do, there is no way you can excel in it. If you are in an environment where you can’t express yourself, how can you unleash your full potentials? Don’t be a traditionalist. Don’t do something because others are doing it. Don’t ever think of doing something that will displease you in other to please some other people. It’s your life and only you will be accountable for it.
