Past Military administrations caused Nigeria's problem, not PMB

 
Senator representing  Imo North. constituency, Sen. Athan Achonu has told Nigerians not to blame President Muhammadu Buhari for the country’s problems.

Achonu also argued that the problems were caused by past military administrations.

He made the comments while speaking to Vanguard in Abuja.

“Buhari is not the problem; this problem was created by the military. It is the military cartel that has ravaged this country. The moment they came in, true federalism disappeared,” he said.

Achonu however advised Buhari to search beyond his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to get a new team that will get the country’s economy back on track.

Boko Haram Strikes in Bornu again !!

 
Terrorist sect, Boko Haram  have attacked a Makalama village just 15 kilometres from the notorious Chibok town in Borno state, the Cable reports. A resident of the village, Hassan Usman, revealed this to reporters, saying that the attack occurred on November 19.

He added that but for the intervention of the Nigerian army, the entire village would have been burnt down.

    “The attack happened two days ago, the road they (Boko Haram) normally pass through had been blocked by the military, so they took another axis and attacked Makalama, which is 15 kilometres away from Chibok,” the local said.

    “We were all afraid. Thank God there was no casualty. The military moved in and repelled them, though they set an explosive on the road, it did not affect the military, but a vehicle which had contact with it, got destroyed but the driver escaped. “They had almost burnt down the entire village leaving just a few houses before the military came in.”

According to him, the terrorists were trying to steal foodstuff from the residents, who were harvesting their farm produce. Usman continued:

    “People are using this opportunity to bring in their harvest from the farm, and Boko Haram decided to collect foodstuff.” “If the government does not take adequate measure, Boko Haram would get stronger. “We want the government to put more effort because there is no week that we have not come under attacks in the past three or four months.

“These people are not far away from Chibok, that’s the Boko Haram. We want the government to use the air force.”

Pope Francis Extends Power To Forgive Abortion



Pope Francis on Monday extended the power of Catholic priests to forgive women who have had abortions.

Pope who made the announcement in a letter- “apostolic letter” after the Catholic Church Holy Year of Mercy, said that abortion is a “grave sin” adding that the Catholic Church’s stance on abortion has not changed.

In the same way, however, I can and must state that there is no sin that God’s mercy cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a repentant heart seeking to be reconciled with the Father.

“May every priest, therefore, be a guide, support and comfort to penitents on this journey of special reconciliation.

“I henceforth grant to all priests, in virtue of their ministry, the faculty to absolve those who have committed the sin of procured abortion,” he added.

He noted that this will make it easier for women who have had abortions to be absolved for their actions, and rejoin the church.

Vote Not "Change" - Fayose Advices Ghanaians Ahead Of Dec. 7 Polls

Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, who is no atranger to the media has advised Ghanaians not to vote for "change" as they head to the polls to vote for their next president on December 7th.

In a statement released by his media aide, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said Nigerians voted for change in 2015 and are currently in hunger, suffering and economic recession. He made the call when he played host to some men of God from Gahana at the state house in Ado-Ekiti. The statement in part reads.

“By buying into the All Progressives Congress (APC) message of change, Nigerians are now facing a kind of hunger and suffering never experienced in the country in the last 30 years and Ghanaians must not fall into that kind of trap. Ghanaians should not succumb to the deceit of the opposition party that are calling for a change of government. Rather, they should return the incumbent President, John Mahama, who has no doubt done creditably well to deserve a re-election. Ghanaians should know that the change in Nigeria brought hunger, suffering, disregard for the rule of law as well as arrest and detention of Nigerians without trial and be mindful of those preaching change to them. Most importantly, the situation in Ghana at present is similar to that of Nigeria.

Like President Mohammadu Buhari, opposition party, New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo has contested the presidency two times. This is the third time he is contesting. He is also 74 year-old. In Nigeria, change is synonymous with economic recession that is even getting to the level of depression. When majority of those who brought the change are now regretting it. Tell your people in Ghana that Nigerians are already regretting the change they made last year, which has plunged the country into serious economic hardship.

Tell them to learn from Nigerians and reject those preaching message of change to them. They should hold on to the government that they have now and beware of a change that will take their country to economic recession.”
