Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Terver Akase Mr Akase said the report published on social media by some opposition elements had once more brought to the fore the sponsored publications to attack the person of the Governor in order to distract him from continued delivery of good governance to the people of the state. According to him, the original report on the interception of the consignments‎ did not name the owner of the containers. "That report on the intercepted consignments in Calabar which was skewed and published on facebook by opposition members in Benue State is proof that most of these young men who call themselves opposition on social media are bereft of any idea to help develop their state.

I don't regret changing professions, not one bit," Awuor added. She narrated her journey to being ...

TODAY'S DEVOTION

By
Why Prayer Is So Important Five reasons why prayer is the answer when life turns upside down. The Lord is there to rescue all who are discouraged and have given up hope. Psalm 34:18 The doctor’s news crushed me. I squirmed on the examining chair. “There is nothing that can be done for this retinal disease,” he said as he pulled back from examining my eyes. “No one knows how long you’ll have your sight. You need to prepare for the inevitable.” He was right. Despite my frantic search for a cure, a few months later my vision closed in completely. Horrified, anxious and desperate, I trembled at the notion that without sight, I would not be able to care for my three small sons. I tossed awake at night questioning God. Where was He? Why didn’t He hear my prayers as I begged for a miracle? Hope threatened to leave me. But one day God showed up. That day a friend invited me to a Christian church, and everything changed. My eyesight wasn’t healed, but my heart was. I faced ...
