"Those in leadership should not allow God to kick them into the forest and if they do not key into this warning of today so many of them will not live to see 2019".Bishop David Oyedepo, the Presiding Bishop and Founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka (Winners' Chapel), has warned leaders in government against being insensitive to the feelings and sufferings of Nigerian masses.The Bishop said this during a special prayer session for the nation at 58.Oyedepo, while urging Leaders to repent and have value for the lives of citizens, said if they do not repent after this warning, they would fall down for the sake of the nation.He said, "Those in leadership should not allow God to kick them into the forest and if they do not key into this warning of today so many of them will not live to see 2019."No agent of the devil will cause problems for this nation any more," he said. He, however, stated that Nigeria was set for a turnaround as the hidden treasures of any nation dwell in the hands of the believers. "God has a plan for a dramatic turn around for Nigeria. The hidden treasure of any nation is in the hands of the believers. "Nigeria shall be healed and the wounds have been cured because Nigeria is not a private business of anybody but a God's own nation," NAN quoted him as saying.

| God Punishing Ambode, Wife For Sacking & Evicting Lagos Chaplain - Lagos APC Primary Posted: 01 Oct 2018 06:40 PM PDT
"Mrs Ambode is a Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, let her go and ask the RCCG Pastor, Enoch Adeboye, whether what she did was the right thing to do to a minister of God," Rt. Rev. Adeyemi fumed.A senior Pastor of the Awaiting The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ in Akure, Ondo State, Pastor Adewale Giwa has stated that the political travails of Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode was caused by the sack of Presiding Chaplain of the Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Venerable Femi Taiwo.The cleric advised him and his wife Bolanale, to beg God for forgiveness over the matter.Venerable Taiwo had angered the governor's wife, Bolanle Ambode, who visited the chapel on Sunday, May 14, when the church held an anointing service.Mrs. Ambode had reportedly claimed that she was not given any preference during the service, and this development infuriated her.She was reported to be visibly angry and allegedly shunned entreaties from the women, which included the wife of the presiding chaplain. The cleric got the sack the following day, a situation that led to outrage and attracted condemnation from the Christian community. In reaction, Rt. Rev. Adeyemi, head the African Church, Ifako Diocese, who supervises Venerable Femi Taiwo, condemned the sack and eviction in strong terms. The cleric compared Bolanle Ambode, to Abimbola Fashola, the heartthrob of ex-Governor and current Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola. Similarly, Rt. Rev. Adeyemi, head, the African Church, Ifako Diocese, told Bolanle Ambode to seek counsel from RCCG leader, Enoch Adeboye, over the incidence. "Mrs Ambode is a Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, let her go and ask the RCCG Pastor, Enoch Adeboye, whether what she did was the right thing to do to a minister of God," Rt. Rev. Adeyemi fumed. However, Pastor Giwa in a statement sent to DAILY POST, said, "God cannot let a sinner go unpunished. I will advise Governor Ambode and his wife to seek God for forgiveness. "Their action to remove the person called a Man of God from office is uncalled for. "From my findings, I was told that despite pleadings from church leaders and other reputable elders, Governor Ambode insisted the cleric must leave the church. "Can you imagine that some church members reportedly contributed money to buy gas cooker and other household items for the family as they vacated the vicarage? "Do power and recognition take you to heaven? This is what is happening virtually all over the churches today. "The moment they see powerful persons in their midst, they quickly give honour to them. In the case of Venerable Taiwo, he did not do that and got sacked." Related Topics: #Ambode #LagosAPC #2019Election Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||
| See Reasons, Senator Ben Bruce Withdrew From Senatorial Race (Full Statement) Posted: 01 Oct 2018 06:11 PM PDT
Senator Ben Murray Bruce, the Senator representing Bayelsa East constituency, on Monday withdrew from the senatorial race.The Senator revealed this in a letter posted on his Facebook page.Read his full statement:Letter of withdrawal from the Bayelsa East Senatorial Race I thank God and the good people of Brass, Bayelsa East Senatorial District who offered me the golden opportunity four years ago to represent them and the state in the Senate, Nigeria's highest lawmaking chamber.It is without doubt that I have tried to discharge my duties as a legislator and representative of my people creditably to the best of my ability so far.My voice has been very loud on the issues that matters to our people and our country at all time.My support to our party, my people and state government is unquestionable. I am humbled that the national leadership of my party supported by the State chapter in appreciation of my efforts offered to support my re-election to the senate to continue my service. I have also intensified consultations in the last couple of week in the course of which I have come to realize an existing local rotational arrangement of over 20 years beginning with the late Great Chief Melford Okilo, by which arrangement the Senatorial seat rotates per local government area among the three councils for four years in the Senatorial District. Even with the support of my party at the National and state levels with the full backing of my state government and leadership, as a man of honour interested in the well being of my people, I hereby announce my withdrawal from the Senatorial race. I do not want whatever reason to appear to have used my privileged position and influence to do anything that other than the well-being and the stability and the good of the people. I am in all of these for the people, not for myself. Once again, I thank the former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, my colleagues in the Senate and Governor of Bayelsa State, the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson for their support and encouragement. I also thank the leadership of my Senatorial District and state, for being there for me. I thank specially the people of my constituency for their trust and confidence in me to serve and represent them in the Senate. By trusting me with this mandate, I have come to know them and our people even better, an experience I will never forget for the rest of my life. I am indeed grateful to my darling wife, my children, other members of my family for their support and prayers. I appreciate the efforts of my hardworking campaign staff for their support and dedication. Again, I thank the leadership of the party for their continuing support. I also assured the party of my availability and readiness to serve at any capacity when the opportunity comes. Best Regards, Senator Ben Murray Bruce.

| PundiX Moves Into Nigeria, With First Bitcoin-Fiat Transaction In Africa On Its Platform Posted: 01 Oct 2018 05:38 PM PDT  In one small step toward wider adoption of cryptocurrencies, a small business in Nigeria claims to be the first in all of Africa to trade bitcoin for Nigeria's national currency, the Naira, using PundiX's (NPXS) in-house hardware Point of Sale terminal (XPOS).PundiX released a short video of the event on their social media platforms. The firm completing the transaction is listed on one commercial website as an "Agriculture Importer", and the transaction was accomplished using both PundiX's crypto-debit card, the Pundi XPASS, and the XPOS together.PundiX's line of products are designed to facilitate and streamline the purchase of goods and services using cryptocurrencies, in physical shops and points of sale. The crypto-company is based in Singapore and has more than 150 employees as of August, 2018, according to their website.Africa is Ripe for Crypto AdoptionMichael Lawal, Business Development Manager at PundiX and featured in the short video, laid out his case for cryptocurrencies -- and PundiX -- in Africa in a Medium article. He points to high inflation rates in African countries, high volumes of remittances coming into the continent from abroad, and Africa's already-completed "mobile payments revolution" (probably having in mind services like M-Pesa, the very successful Vodafone-owned micropayment mobile-phone platform) as arguments for cryptocurrency adoption in Africa in particular.The status of acceptability of cryptocurrencies and crypto-assets in Nigeria has been uncertain. CryptoGlobe reported earlier this year that the Central Bank of Nigeria warned the country's banks from using or transacting with any cryptocurrencies, although there seems to be no explicit illegality in doing so.In Africa more broadly, BitPesa, a Kenya-based digital asset exchange and payment service, recently partnered with prominent Japanese financial services company SBI Group to facilitate payments between Japanese and African entities. The partnership hopes to leverage the speed and independence of cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange between Japanese yen and various African nations' currencies, instead of more regulated and restrictive global reserve currencies like dollars or euros. PundiX will attend the Blockchains for Sustainable Development conference, hosted by the UN Conference on Trade and Development, later this month. Some heavy hitters in the crypto industry will be in attendance, such as Binance's Changpeng Zhao ("CZ"), as well as representatives from IBM, UNICEF, and the European Parliament among others.

| Supporters Of Ambode Take Protest To Tinubu’s Residence Posted: 01 Oct 2018 05:16 PM PDT
....Ambode's supporters besiege Tinubu's house in Ikoyi, bearing different placards.Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, supporters, thronged the residence of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jagaban Bola Tinubu, at Bourdillon Street, Ikoyi, Lagos.The protesters who were, bearing different placards with Ambode's picture, marched to the front gate of Tinubu's entrance on Monday.However, they were prevented from gaining access into the premises, by armed security men.As such, the protesters remained at the opposite side of the road with their placards hoisted high, while they danced to songs from their band, Sahara Reporters, reports.Recall that Ambode has been in a running battle with the leadership of Lagos State APC for the party's governorship ticket. The APC National leader, Jagaban Tinubu has, however, not been economical with words, in his preference for Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Ambode's main contender, for the governorship ticket.

The National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jagaban Bola Tinubu and Lagos state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has been summoned to Abuja by President Muhammadu Buhari.The meeting was held this afternoon at the presidential villa, DAILY POST reports.A source close to the presidency told DAILY POST that Buhari is worried over the strained relationship between the duo.Meanwhile, Tinubu and other APC leaders in the state have already endorsed a former commissioner, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the party's governorship ticket.On Sunday, Ambode, apparently infuriated by the development, opened a can of warns against Sanwo-Olu.He said: "The aspirant being put up to compete against us is not a fit and proper person to take this job. I have done everything in the last three and half years to serve people selflessly and to serve the poor. "This particular aspirant is somebody that has been arrested for spending fake dollars in a nightclub in America, and he has been detained for months. "He doesn't have the competence to do what he is being propelled to do. This is somebody that has gone for rehabilitation before. The records are there at the Gbagada General Hospital, we don't want to go too far. Our leadership should have a rethink". Meanwhile, the APC primary election in the state has again been shifted to Tuesday. Related Topics: #Buhari #Tinubu #Ambode #2019Election Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||
