Bolanle Raheem's Murder shows that our leaders are heartless-Labor Leader

/>
The gruesome murder of Bolanle Raheem by an Assistant Superintendent of Police(ASP) has been described as a reflection of the depraved mindset of those in government. This assertion was made by a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Andrew Emelieze. ''This kind of tragedy shows that those ruling Nigeria are heartless, wicked and do not value the lives of Nigerians. This is the kind of nightmare that Nigerians face daily at the hands of men and officers of the Nigeria Police Force. The police are doing the opposite of what they were recruited to do. Rather than protecting Nigerians, the police are on the streets, extorting, attacking and maiming innocent Nigerians. It is quite unfortunate, pathetic and very sorrowful that Mrs. Bolanle Raheem was killed in cold blood by a drunken police officer. We pray for the repose of her soul and also pray that God will give the family the fortitude to bear the great loss.''

Nigerian Children's Place in a Sane Society

  Most public primary and secondary school students learn in environments that are not encouraging in Nigeria.  The facilities have been stretched to obsolete conditions as a result of improper planning by the government at all levels.  Considering the dilapidated toilet facilities in several of these schools and the absence of potable and drinkable water, the potential outbreak of an epidemic cannot be ruled out. Teachers are no longer dedicated to duty due to their nightmarish working conditions.  Cultism has taken root in most of these schools, while "armed robbers" in school uniforms dot the nooks and crannies of every part of the country.  Indeed, cultists, mostly young people, are now strategic stakeholders in elections in many states. Of worry is the lack of sincerity on the part of the government in the implementation of programs and policies.  On the part of private schools, moral decadence, which is a major feature in public schools, is the issue,...

Be very familiar with the word of God and also, go further to put it practice for you to receive the abundant blessings and protection of God. Matthew 7 : 24-29 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

The President Nigeria Needs by Eze(Dr.) Alex Anozie

I want to encourage our people, South Easterners, to continue in their prayers trusting God, because I can see God's hands at work trying to use a personality from the South East to deliver and secure Nigeria. To use a personality from the South East as a messiah like God used Moses in the Bible. And I can see a lot of good things, positive things beginning to happen when that person gets into the position of President, and I am very happy because that person is a person of integrity, and he respects everyone from the North, everyone from the South. I have never heard him using any foul or abusive language on any personality. That scores him very high, gives him very high marks in my own assessment. I hail him for that. I don't like the way, for whatever reasons, anybody is using abusive language on anybody, it is not good for our politics, it is not good for our country, Nigeria, because that is how war started in many African countries. Throw me, I throw you. We must no...
