OVER AMBITIOUS SENATE PRESIDENT IN SHOWDOWN AGAINST THE PRESIDENCY

By

Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has blasted ailing President, Muhammadu Buhari, and Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, for focusing too much on loot recovery, rather than fighting corruption itself.

Recall, that the current administration, led by Buhari and Osinbajo, has recently set up a Committee on the Recovery of Looted Assets.

Saraki while speaking in Abuja, on Tuesday, called on Buhari and his Vice, Osinbajo, to pay more attention to destroying corruption, than placing emphasis on the recovery of loot.

He said: "You see, let us separate recovery, from the fight against corruption. We still believe that yes, recoveries are being done, but are we doing anything to actively stop corruption going on now.  The Presidency should focus more on fighting corruption, than loot recovery.

"This recovery has gone out there. They are two separate issues. The focus I am seeing is recovery, but corruption is still there. That is the area that we are focusing on as a Senate.

"Anybody that brings a case about what is happening now, we will go in, look at those Agencies and expose them. We want to continue to represent the people in that way."

DAILY DEVOTION FOR TODAY 23rd FEB 2017

  The Dangers Of Digging Pits   A daily devotion for February 23rd   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: Ecclesiastes 10:1-15       Whoever digs a pit may fall into it; whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake. Whoever quarries stones may be injured by them; whoever splits logs may be endangered by them (Ecclesiastes 10:8-9).       In the next section, the Searcher returns to wisdom to describe the kinds of insights that wisdom will embrace. First, there is a section on avoiding dangers, understanding that certain situations have inherent dangers. Few of us are ever going to be involved extensively in digging pits, breaking down walls, quarrying stones, or splitting logs. But Solomon is not talking only about actual physical situations; these are also descriptive, symbolic of the things we do to each other. Did you ever dig a pit for somebody,...

MUSLIMS BEING SCREENED ON ARRIVAL IN THE UNITED STATES

By

By AFP   |   28 January 2017 US authorities wasted no time implementing Donald Trump’s order halting Muslim arrivals, detaining travelers arriving at American airports within hours of the US president signing the tough new measures, media reports said Saturday. The New York Times reported that airport officials as early as Friday night began detaining travelers, some of whom already had been aboard their flights when Trump announced his executive order closing America’s borders to refugees. Trump’s order suspends entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days and indefinitely halts the admission of refugees from Syria. It also bans entry into the United States from travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries — Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen — for 90 days. The order paved the way for what Trump has pledged will be “extreme vetting” of visa applicants’ backgrounds — with some exceptions made for members of “religious minor...
