Corruption is why the kidnapped girls have not been found Sarah Sewall

The United States Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy and Human Rights
Sarah Sewall who was with a Pentagon top Africa official, Amanda Dory made the assertion during a hearing at the House Foreign Affairs Committee. 
She said that the insurgency being experienced in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria would have been ended if the Nigeria military had overcome entrenched corruption and incompetence.
The US official told New York Times that the Nigeria military can only rescue the over 234 abducted school girls from Chibok, Borno State, when they completely flush out corruption.
She recalled and noted that despite the country’s $5.8 billion security budget for 2014, it was appalling to discover that the army lacks the needed apparatus to combat insurgents. 
“Corruption prevents supplies as basic as bullets and transport vehicles from reaching the front lines of the struggle against Boko Haram”.
She further revealed to the committee that the Nigerian soldiers morale were low, causing desertions to be very rampant in the 7th Army Division fighting the Boko Haram sect.  
When one of the lawmakers asked her for an update about the abducted girls location and welfare, Sewall said: “Given time, I am hopeful that we will make progress.”
It would be recalled that on May 13 in Abuja, Sewall explained the US level of involvement in the rescue mission, when she noted that their personnel would not be combative. She also said it was left for the Nigeria government to decide either to swap the kidnapped girls for detained terrorists members as offered by Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the deadly sect.
Meanwhile, Dory in her testimony, said that Pentagon expressed optimism that the girls might have been broken into several smaller groups.
“They may or may not all be in Nigeria,” she said, adding that “Nigerian military’s heavy-handed tactics with Boko Haram risked further harming and alienating local populations”.

General Overseers Wife rises from the Dead

I dont know how true this is but read and enjoy

Rev. (Mrs) Folake Achudume was recently confirmed dead by doctors but resurrected before her burial and this is what the wife of the General Overseer and Founder of Victory Life Bible Church (VLBC), Abeokuta, Ogun State, Rev. (Mrs) Folake Achudume told her congregation on Sunday.

“What I experienced was like being a drama piece. I saw myself coming out of my body, and going into a white cloud. I didn’t know where I was going, but I was asked to look down, only to see my husband, children been consoled, as my burial was been planned. I saw people crying.”

“Later, I stretched my hand and I was taken to a glorious place, where I saw people in white garment welcoming me, telling me to come in. I joined them, but a big hand stretched out, with a voice saying the place is not for me”

“I later found myself in another place, more glorious and beautiful, I was not allowed in again, but I was taken to a third place, where I was not allowed again. Then a voice came telling me to look down, and told me I should return to where I was coming from, but I was struggling to join the group. Then I heard a thunderous voice and it was at that point my eyes opened.”

“I stand to tell you that God has power over death. The consultants had confirmed that I bled to death after the operation. If you understand what I went through you will realize that life is vanity. By that experience everything in life to me has lost value. It was not a joke, I appreciate God, because God made me to understand the mystery of life,”

Dont Insult the Judiciary; we are the best -Justice Bello

The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta and Justice Adamu Bello both condemned attempts to tarnish the image of the judiciary, saying the Nigerian judiciary remains the best in the world.

Justice Auta, who spoke during the valedictory session in honour of Justice Bello, who retired from the court on December 31 last year, decried the rate of petitions against judges.

“It has become common place for lawyers and even litigants to write petitions against judicial officers when they lose their cases or even mere suspicion that they may lose their case before the judge,” he said.

On his part, Justice Bello, who lauded the reforms initiated by the National Judicial Council (NJC) led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mariam Aloma Mukhtar, cautioned critics not to undermine the dignity of the judiciary.

“We may have our ups and downs and even harboured some bad eggs but that does not give any one the licence to lampoon the whole institution of the judiciary like is being done in this country,” he said.

January 14 is a public Holiday to celebrate Eid-el Maulud

Femi Fani Kayode calls Oduah disgrace To Africa

Pastor Drowns While Attempting To Walk On Water

i Read this story on kemi Okpaka Blog dont know how true but saw it as worth sharing

An evangelist who tried replicating Jesus’ miracle of walking on water has reportedly drowned off the western coast of Africa.
 

Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation he could repeat the biblical miracle, and he attempted it from a beach in Gabon’s capital of Libreville
 

He told churchgoers he’d had a revelation that if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus,’ an eyewitness told the Glasgow Daily Record.
 

‘He took his congregation to the beach saying he would walk across the Komo estuary, which takes 20 minutes by boat.
 

So on the d-day they all gathered to watch the miracle...
He walked into the water, which soon passed over his head and he never came back.’

Its well is what i will say
