Sule Lamido, the former governor of Jigawa state, has attributed his arrest and perceived persecution to his desire to run for president in 2019. This was disclosed by his chief press secretary, Umar Kyari, in a chat with The Vanguard on Monday. He said the current state governor, Mohammed Badaru is “scared stiff ” of Lamido’s ambition and clout and “raised a false alarm” as his party might lose the local elections slated for July 1. “But it is rather too late for anyone to stop Lamido from achieving his political ambition come 2019 since the people have already seen that he has what it takes to rule Nigeria and lift it out of the woods.” Lamido, according to the Force public relations officer (PRO), Moshood Jimoh, was arrested and is being investigated after the “state government complained against his directive to his supporters to cause trouble and we had to wade in.” Meanwhile, the Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded...

(AP: Eric Paddock) Stephen Paddock appeared to be settling into a quiet life two years ago when the wealthy 64-year-old apartment manager and high-stakes gambler bought a home in a rural Nevada retirement community, an hour's drive from his beloved Las Vegas casinos. Those who knew him say there was no indication he was capable of holing up in a room on the 32nd floor of one of those casinos, the Mandalay Bay, and opening fire on a country music festival across the street. But Paddock killed 59 people, including himself, and injured more than 500 others on Sunday in the worst mass shooting in modern US history.

  God's Provision   A daily devotion for April 9th   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: Genesis 1:29-31       Then God said,  I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food  (Genesis 1:29).       The point of this whole narrative is that God has made a marvelously complete provision for His creation. The world of nature is full of the most astonishing evidences of the care of God. How is it that certain birds can fly with an unerring instinct halfway around the world and find a tiny pinpoint of land in the middle of the ocean, though this is the first time they have made the flight? How is it that bees can maintain the temperature of their hive within a variation of a few degrees, regardless of whether it is a hot summer's day or a cold winter's morning...
