 Authorities say a gunman shot the 33-year-old midfielder several times.

 Another two people were wounded. The player died at a nearby hospital.

LAI MOH'D DENIES EVER LYING TO NIGERIANS 18th Feb 2017, The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has called on those labeling him a liar to provide evidence of one lie he has told to warrant giving a different meaning to his first name.  Mohammed said in as much he was ready to answer different names based on the nature of his job, one thing he did not get himself prepared for was the pure hatred he was getting from the opposition. The Minister was speaking in an interview with the Sun in Lagos, where he noted that he did his job while in opposition with clear mind and did not attack any individual. Mohammed, who was the All Progressives Congress, APC’s mouthpiece, noted that the opposition will always attack him no matter what he did, since he played a major role in their downfall. His words, “I think anybody who occupies a public office should know that this sort of thing goes with the terrain. But probably what I was not prepared for was the viciou...

A young teenage couple accused of snatching their newborn baby from hospital have been briefly reunited with their daughter after five days apart. Jayden Lavender, 14, and fiancée Jenifer Morrison, 15, smuggled three-day-old Aria out of the hospital in Sydney at 12.30am on Thursday. Their disappearance sparked a huge search before the pair were found safe and well 16 hours later after spending a night camping with the infant. The teens were briefly reunited with their baby girl on Tuesday amid the family's fears they would never see her again. Jayden and Jenifer said they hid Aria under a blanket and left Nepean Hospital in the middle of the night because they feared their baby would be taken into care by social services. But an emotional Jayden told 7News the reunion gave the young couple hope Aria would be returned to them permanently. With his arm around his fiancée, the 14-year-old said: "Definitely brought a smile to my face, I haven’t been able to smile ...

Buhari’s health: Only a fool will henceforth believe anything from Lai Mohammed – Reno Omokri March 11th, 2017 RENO OMOKRI Former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari unwittingly exposed the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed’s penchant for lies and propaganda when he addressed the nation after a closed door meeting with senior members of his cabinet.

By

  The Word For The Hour   A daily devotion for September 14th   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: 2 Corinthians 5:18-6:2       That God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19).       This is the message above all else, that the world needs to know. The problem with people everywhere is they have no security, no sense of acceptance, and no sense of worth. Most people have a poor self-image--even the blustering people who try to portray that they are self-sufficient. Deep inside they know their actions are a cover-up; they know they do not really feel as confident as they would lead others to believe. They are often scared and frustrated. They have to pretend that they are able to handle everything, but at the end of the day they know they did not. The reason people lack security is because they feel an alienation, an estrangement, from God. They li...
