AMERICA NO BE NIJA...CHRIS OYAKHILOME SAYS THE HATE TRUMP BECAUSE HE SUPPORT CHRISTIANS....

Nigerian clergyman, is on the march again! Chris Oyakhilome, is of the opinion that US President, Donald Trump, is hated by many in the US and the world in general because of his support for Christians and the tenets of the Christian faith.

While speaking in his church on Friday, November 6, Oyakhilome said;

''There are those who think that Trump, the Presidnet of the United States, is hated by many Americans. He is not hated many Americans. I want to tell you the truth. He is not hatred, Trump is not the problem. They don't hate Trump. They hate those that Trump seems to support. 

They are angry at Trump for supporting Christians. So the real ones they hate are you who are Christians. That is what the hatred of Trump is all about. It's got nothing to do with Trump.

Before he started giving his voice in support of Christians and before he started giving his voice in support of Israel, he was their darling, they loved him. But because he didn't come for their sponsorship and they didn't expect him to become President, they blamed the Christians for voting him into office and that is what they hate him for.

If you are a Christian, better know this. Don't think that if we just get Trump out of the way then everything will just calm. It will not be calm. They hate you and he seems to protect you, that is the problem.''he said

 

 

ARMY WOULD APPEAR BEFORE THE PANEL ON THE DIRECTIVE OF LAGOS GOVERNMENT~~ARMY SPOKESPERSON

The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate area of the city on the night of October 20, 2020 had summoned personnel of the Nigerian Army to appear before it.

But the army, according to Sunday PUNCH, has expressed unwillingness not to honour any summons or invitation by the panel except it was from the state government.

But when Sunday PUNCH reached out to the Nigerian Army over the invitation sent to it by the panel on the need for it to state its story regarding the incident, the Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations and 81 Division’s spokesperson, Major Osoba Olaniyi, said it was not the duty of the judicial panel to invite the army to answer questions regarding the reported shooting of unarmed protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate.

Olaniyi stressed that the army intervened in the Lekki incident based on a request from the Lagos State Government and that it would only appear before the panel based on the same directive from the state government.

He said, “If we receive a letter from the state, we will go. Are we not under civil authorities? Are we not part of Nigerians? Have you forgotten that we did not go there (Lekki Toll Gate) on our own?

“It is not the duty of the members of the panel to tell us that. If the state wants the (81) Division to come, they will write and we will oblige. See, if they have written to the division, it is our duty to go. It is not for them to go through the media as if we are scared of coming.”

The army had come under heavy criticism over how its personnel, while enforcing the curfew imposed by the state government, shot peaceful protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020, killing some and leaving others with varying degrees of injury.

The army authorities in a tweet on October 21, initially denied that its personnel were at the scene of the shootings, describing it as ‘fake news’.

But following evidence and pressure from different individuals and groups, the army later admitted that its personnel were at the scene but were invited by the state government.

This contrasted the earlier submission of the state governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who on the morning of October 21 blamed the shootings on “forces beyond our direct control”.

The army denied shooting the protesters while the governor also said no one was killed in the exercise, but available information showed that people were killed.

Amnesty International also said it had evidence that no fewer than 12 protesters were killed at the Lekki Toll Gate and Alausa areas of the state.

AMUWO-ODOFIN YOUTHS CALL FOR IMMEDIATE RECALL OF LAGOS LAWMAKER THAT USE PALLIATIVE ITEMS AS GIFTS AT HER BIRTHDAY

 Lagos Assembly member, Mojisola Alli-Macaulay, ignated the wrath of the youths in her Amuwo Odofin Constituency over her statement " that Nigeria’s young people were high on hard drugs was inciting and aimed to malign the good intentions of young men and women in reforming the country.

However, the group in a statement by Kingsley E. Nwanze, Convener, Amuwo Odofin Intelligentsia, and Gbenga N. Akinbinu, NYCN, Amuwo Odofin Chapter, said young people in the community stopped thugs from attacking businesses during the violence that broke out in Lagos recently contrary to claims by the lawmaker.

The youth reacted to  the comment by the lawmaker thus, “In respect of gross misrepresentation of the constituents of Amuwo Odofin Constituency One (1) in Lagos State House of Assembly by Mrs Mojisola Kehinde Alli Macaulay. We woke up to see a viral video where she alleged that Nigerian youth were high on hard drugs. According to her, this action has resulted in the sudden consciousness of Nigerian youth on social media.

“This statement is not only inciting but also callously targeted at maligning the good intentions of peaceful Nigerian youth in birthing a Nigeria that works in the interest of all her citizens.

“We would like to state emphatically, that we are not in support of destruction of properties by hoodlums. It is on record that Amuwo Odofin youth protected all business premises within the local government and they were highly commended by well-meaning Nigerians including the Executive Chairman of the local government council, Engr (Dr) Valentine Oluwaseyi Buraimoh.

“It is unfortunate that our representative at the Lagos State House of Assembly did not have a good grasp of the positive contributions of Amuwo Odofin youth during the crisis that ravaged other parts of Lagos State.

“It is more saddening to hear that our representative is joining a bandwagon in regulating the social media space for selfish reasons. Nigerian youth are synonymous with social media and that has been the only available platform to vent their frustrations and misgivings about government irresponsibility.

“Our representative made an attempt to draw a comparison with the United Kingdom on mitigating youth unemployment. But unfortunately, she did not mention the several cushioning programs designed by the United Kingdom Government to mitigate the challenges resulting from youth unemployment.”

The group, therefore, called for her immediate recall from the Lagos State House of Assembly.

“We seize this opportunity to inform the global community and Nigerian populace that our representative has not in any way made an attempt to sponsor or support bills aimed at addressing youth unemployment in Lagos State.

“The following under-listed are the grounds for her immediate recall from the Lagos State House of Assembly.

“She does not have a functional constituency office as required by law within the constituency for almost two years in office.

“She has not prepared any bill aimed at improving the lives of her constituents and by extension Lagos State.

“Her continuous representation is totally against the wellbeing of her constituents.

“It was widely circulated on major social media platforms that she used COVID-19 palliative items as gifts at her last birthday party.

“She has refused to give her account of stewardship at the Lagos State House of Assembly since she assumed office.

“She has also religiously remained inaccessible since she assumed office.

“These grounds have given impetus to the commencement of legal proceedings in recalling her as our representative at the Lagos State House of Assembly.

“This document is signed on behalf of the good people of Amuwo Odofin Stakeholders Consultative Forum

 

PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER RETIREES ARE SUFFERING IN LAGOS STATE

Lagos State civil service pensioners, especially the primary school teacher retirees have accused the Lagos state government of depriving them of their pension rights. According to our source, the primary school teachers that retired between 2017-2000, have not been paid a dime!

Sometime ago,the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (Lagos State Civil Service branch), Mr. Victor O. Ogundimu accused the state government of making pensioners to suffer indignity. He pointed out that instances abound where pensioners dropped dead after collecting their pensions because of the stress they went through on pay days.

However, it baffled me to read that "The Lagos State Government says it has paid over N1 billion retirement benefit bond into the Retirement Savings Account (RSA) of 218 retirees under the state public service for the month of August.

According to the Director-General, Lagos State Pension Commision (LASPEC), Mr Babalola Obilana made the disclosure at the 78th Batch Retirement Bond Presentation ,said  that N1.01 billion was paid and assured that the commision would continue to be resolute in forging ahead with the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS).

Director-General, Lagos State Pensions Commission (LASPEC), Babalola Obilana, in a statement , said the approval was to ensure that retirees get their terminal entitlements paid at the appropriate time

Obilana, who urged the retirees to always make use of the commission’s electronic platforms to send their correspondents, said: “Scan and send all your documents to the agency through the e-mail address: info@laspec.gov.ng or morenike.makinde@laspec.gov.ng

“For enquiries, retirees can also check their retirement bond certificates readiness at LASPEC portal which is laspecportal.com.ng.”

However, what about the Primary school teachers that retired between 2017-2020? When would they enjoyed the fruits of their labour?
