Military chief vows to free kidnapped school girls

Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, has said the military was avoiding the use of heavy power attacks on the abductors of school girls in Chibok, Borno, for the sake of the girls’ safety.

He, however, assured that the military would free the girls.

Mr. Badeh, an Air Chief Marshall, made the remark when the Board and Management of National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA, paid a visit to the Defence Headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday.

The chief of defence staff assured that the military would soon free the school girls from their abductors.

He condemned the activities of the insurgents in the north, saying “what is happening in the northern Nigeria is pure madness.”

“It is not the number of those abducted that is the issue but the attendant psychological trauma of every parent.

On The Structure Of Government BY HASSAN RILWAN

As a follow-up to the first session wherein a viable youth agenda was outlined, I have in this second session deliberated with my think-tank on the Structure of Government as an agenda for the National Conference. Under this broad topic ‘Structure of Government’ other clusters of sub-topics were also treated. These include: Fiscal Federalism/Resource Control, Indigene-Settler Crisis, Federal Character/Quota System and Single-term Tenureship.

Before the think-tank session, we had set up an online polling system to take a poll of the position of the youths on these subjects. The results from the online poll formed a basis for further stormy deliberations by the think-tank; a deliberation which resulted in harmonized positions reflecting the general trend of views on each of the subjects. This however does not remove the right of some youth who may have a different opinion no matter how small their number.

1. Structure Of Government

Background

Exclusive: Nigerian Girls 'alive' and Deal is 'within reach'

A hostage negotiator in direct contact with the kidnappers of more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria tells Channel 4 News their safe release is "within reach", but that their fate rests on a knife-edge.

"The girls, we believe, are alive but they have been moved from the location to which they were originally taken," the intermediary told Channel 4 News. "It would not be hard to engineer a deal. It looks like they want to release them."

The kidnappers have warned, however, that attempts by the military to launch a rescue attempt "may result in the deaths of many of the captives".

"They want a way out," said the negotiator, who has long experience of dealing directly with the Islamist group Boko Haram in previous hostage crises.

Boko Haram: More than State of Emergency urgently Needed - David Mark

He made the call in a speech at the resumption of plenary session on Wednesday adding that it is clear Nigeria state is at war with Boko Haram insurgents.

According to him; “The enemy has clearly and unequivocally served the nation notice of its vile intentions and therefore, a clear, unambiguous and decisive military response from the Government, beyond the imposition of a state of emergency, is urgently required in this circumstance.”

MEMORY VERSE: Philippians 4:19

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

READ: ROMANS 15:25-27

25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.

MESSAGE

Apostle Paul in the Bible reading for today, teaches us one missing ingredient of true discipleship in today’s contemporary Church; which is the ministry of care. Despite the great anointing with which Apostle Paul was ministering to both Jews and Gentiles, it is amazing to read that the ministry of care was not absent from his vocation as a preacher of the gospel. It is also interesting to note that the lives of the early apostles of Jesus Christ were not only in alignment with the teachings of Jesus Christ but were also in alignment with their own teachings. Jesus Christ taught that his followers should be hospitable, kind hearted and generous. He said to us in Matthew 10:42 that:

A power transformer exploded today at the UniAbuja mini campus causing scare as many thought it was a bomb explosion upon hearing the sound.

Cristiano Ronaldo Emerges Highest Goal Scorer ever in Champions League

Real Madrid Star and World football best, Cristiano Ronaldo has broken Lionel Messi's goals record for a single Champions League season following his double in Real Madrid's 4-0 win over Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old's two goals in his side's superb second-leg victory at the Allianz Arena took his tally for the 2013-14 season to 16. He has now netted one more than Messi's previous record, with the Argentine registering 14 times in 11 games during the 2011-12 tournament.

Champions League: Bayern Munich 0-4 Real Madrid (Agg: 0-5)

Result: B Munich 0-4 R Madrid (Agg 0-5)

During the course of tonight's match, Bayern Munich made 656 passes compared to Real's 287. More tellingly, however, is the performance of each side's star player. Cristiano Ronaldo scored two and helped to create another while Franck Ribery failed to even put a single cross into the box.

"It will be fascinating to see how the Bayern Munich hierarchy respond to this. As for Carlo Ancelotti, I don't think he will be going anywhere. They'll be happy with him at Real for another year.

The popularity of Gen Muhammadu Buhari showed prominence and became unquestionable once again, Irrespective of the facts that Buharis major support group is the unenlightened and uneducated in the North, Buhari convincingly won the APC online presidential polls conducted by an independent body.

He also denied that the former Minister of Sports, Alhaji Yusuf Suleiman, was planning to defect from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC), stressing that there was no iota of truth in the malicious rumours making the round in the state. Speaking in Sokoto on Friday, Magaji maintained that those insisting on northern presidency in 2015 were only after their selfish interest.

Memory Verse: 1 Corinthians 2:7

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Read: 1 Corinthians 2:6-10

6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Message

The Lord in His infinite wisdom has always hidden His divine plans and purpose in codes. Obviously, it is impossible for the devil and his cohorts to understand or crack these heavenly codes. One of such codes is: “the seed of the woman”. The Almighty God gave the very first hint about the “seed of the woman” in Genesis 3:15, where He said that the woman’s seed shall bruise the head of Satan. Here, we have the very first direct individual reference to the Lord Jesus, which is also a direct messianic prophecy pointing to Calvary, where the Lord Jesus would defeat the devil and his hosts. This was a mystery through the ages as there is no passage of the Bible with a clue as to when this would happen. Later down the line, God gave generic information about the nature of the woman who would bear this “seed” through Prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 7:14).

"PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ENTERTAIN THEIR WORLD" Romans,8v8. Matth,5:48.

You can say, "Devil is wicked, merciless, cunning, trickiest, arrogant, pride, "But don't ever say..... Devil is FOOL!!! Devil and all his fallen angels has taken over the Entertainment industry and polluted the atmosphere with immoral songs and seductive video so that you won't be READY for Rapture.

Many of these secular musicians and their promoters are carrying-on their missions, they are fulfilling their goal unknowingly to those called Christians. Both secular musicians and their promoters Including their sponsors are speedily working to make this WORLD Uncomfortable for "Born Again Christians" and to make them compromised like Lot's wife.

The spokesperson for the Vatican officially announced some days ago that the second coming of Jesus, the only son of God, may not happen now after all, but urged followers to still continue with their faith, regardless of the news.

Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore told WWN that this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the Vatican’s last in regards to waiting for the Lord to return to Earth.

"UNGODLY THOUGHTS, *DIRECT TICKET TO HELL" BY OLUMUYIWA

"UNGODLY THOUGHTS, *DIRECT TICKET TO HELL" Isaiah,14v12-15. Luke,12v57.

The world is so attractive, looking for opportunity to waste you. The destination of all Uncleanness is Hell Fire, no argument about it.

In my last post, I told you that Jesus said, only (6) people are ready for Rapture in Nigeria, many people condemned me instead of asking questions. In my "ALONE with CHRIST" I asked him, why only six people in Nigeria? what about me? What about all the men of God? The Choirs, ministers, Pastors, Evangelist, Bishops, Christians, etc? Jesus gave an answer and send me to tell you the reasons probably you may take the advantage and SAVE your Soul from Hell.

Memory Verse: Exodus 14:15

And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:

Read: Matthew 14:22-32

22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

There appears to be no end in sight for students of polytechnics and colleges of education to return to school as the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) announced plans to embark on a peaceful protest in Abuja on Tuesday.

At a joint news conference in Abuja on Sunday, the National President of the ASUP, Dr Chibuzor Asomugha and the Abuja chapter chairman of COEASU, Dr Ahymed Lawal, criticised the Federal Government’s refusal to implement agreements reached with the unions in order to suspend the indefinite strike.

The Africa Cup of Nations defending champions, Super Eagles of Nigeria have been drawn with South Africa and Sudan in the group stage of qualifying for the 2015 African Nations Cup in Morocco.

The Group A line-up will be completed by the winners of a preliminary tie involving Namibia, Congo Brazzaville, Libya and Rwanda.

Nigeria can be confident of making the 16-team finals between January 17 and February 8 in Moroccan cities Agadir, Marrakech, Rabat and Tangier.

They are a bogey side for South Africa -- never losing a competitive match to Bafana Bafana (The Boys) -- and Sudan have struggled lately.

Every draw creates a 'group of death' and Group G fits the bill with Tunisia, Egypt, Senegal and one from Burundi, Botswana, Central African Republic and Guinea-Bissau.

Egypt have lifted the Cup of Nations a record seven times, hosts Tunisia triumphed in 2004 and Senegal were the strongest third seeds.

Another mini-league set to generate fierce competition is Group D, which includes Ivory Coast, Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Chelsea defeats Liverpool and keeps title hopes alive. Ba and Willian blow title race open after Gerrard slip.

Every single player in blue was magnificent out there today. It's very hard to single anyone out for praise as Blues earned a famous win at Anfield to end the Reds' 11-game winning streak and breathe life into their own hopes of winning the Premier League Title this season.

Boko Haram Kidnapping children for battle, from Uganda to Nigeria

Although about 30 of the girls escaped from captivity while about a dozen, who fled into the bush when the sect attacked the school, have since returned to the school.

Interim manager, Ryan Giggs was delighted to oversee Manchester United's 4-0 victory over Norwich on Saturday, his first as acting manager.

After the victory of the visitor, Giggs said walking out at Old Trafford in this new capacity made him feel "10 feet tall". "I was nervous, but as soon as I came out of the tunnel the reception I got, the staff got and the players got was brilliant," he told MUTV. "I've got to thank the fans for that because it’s not been an easy week, but I felt ten feet tall."

Goals from Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata handed United the win, although the Reds were frustrated for the majority of the first half. Giggs says he encouraged attacking football at the break, and was full of praise for the response shown in the second period. “We looked like scoring goals and creating chances," he told Sky Sports. "In the first half, we were a little bit slow, so I just reminded the players that the tempo needed to be quicker and they reacted well to that.

“They’re all good players and all of us have let ourselves down this year. We haven’t played to the level that we’re capable of this season, but we did that today. I said yesterday that it can’t just be for one game, it has to be for longer than that. Every time you play for Manchester United you have to stay at that level, and they have to keep to these standards against Sunderland.

Read: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
