Muttaqa’s story is one of destiny shaped by power plays. After the passing of President Yar’adua, he was at first considered, but ultimately overlooked for a ministerial slot. Shema chose instead to align with Obasanjo’s camp, paving the way for Murtala Shehu Musa Yar’adua to emerge Minister from Katsina.

Again, when Hajiya Turai reportedly pushed for Muttaqa under Jonathan after the 2011 elections, Shema was all out to ensure Musa Sada, his close ally, got appointed Minister from Katsina State. Today, Muttaqa is set to become a Minister, while Shema serves as a Board Chairman, reporting to a Minister. Allah kenan!

Back then, Muttaqa Rabe was among the figures that formed a powerful bloc in the villa that almost frustrated Shema during President Yar’adua’s short stay in office.

With Muttaqa edged out of the race for Katsina Central Senate due to this appointment, the path is now tilting strongly in Masanawa’s favour, not Shema, not Audu Soja, because GOC is a life bencher in Katsina politics. BTW, anyone from Katsina won’t ask who is GOC, trust me.

While I’m happy for Muttaqa, what I do know is, in Katsina Central, he’s a force that can defeat anybody, because he is to Katsina what Kwankwaso is to Kano, both command strong youth followings, driven by their commitment to educating children from poor backgrounds.

Muttaqa dan dangi ne! Congratulations.

Amerika’da 15 sene boyunca askeriyede şoförlük yapan ve emekli olduktan sonra olul otobüsü süren Marcus için sıradan bir gün başlamıştı.

Çocukları topladıktan sonra okul yoluna koyuldu. Ancak ön camı kırıp içeri gelen devasa bir taşla neye uğradığını şaşırdı.

Bilincini kaybetme ve başka cisimlerin camdan içeri girmesi ihtimaline karşı frene bastı.

Otobüste tek ciddi yara alan Marcus’un ta kendisiydi.

Ancak çocukların aileleri, hayatı pahasına çocukaları koruyan Marcus’a $500.000 dolar değerinde dava açtı.

Neyse ki Frank Caprio’yu aratmayan bir hakim, Marcus’un yaşanan kazada ölmek üzereyken bile çocukları sağ salim indirebilmek için çabaladığını, bu durumun ceza değil ödül alması gerektiğini söyledi.

Kaldı mı gerçekten böyle hakimler???

[Walter 🇳🇬 🇵🇭 🇨🇦 @gamerwalt]

Marriage is not supposed to be a “his bills, her bills” arrangement. Especially abroad.

Once you marry, both of you should stop thinking like flatmates doing cost sharing and start thinking like a family building one future.

The real conversation is not 50/50, 70/30, or “leave rent for him.”

It should be... what is our total income? What are our total needs? What is our budget? What are we saving? What are we investing?

A healthy home is not built on divided responsibility.

A healthy home is built on shared vision.

When couples keep saying “this one is for him” and “this one is for her,” they may survive, but they rarely build wealth as one unit.

Learn now or learn the hard way. You are both healing in different directions.

If you’re in the UK and you earn £2,600 monthly and your partner earns £2,200 monthly, the family income is £4,800. Drop
That Odogwu nonsense in your village.

Take £2k and sort your bills. You can support your families and friends with £500. You give each other £400 each and invest the balance of £1500 monthly.

You cannot have a working wife and all she is paying is water bill or WiFi. She is fundamentally useless. The whole point of 2 income household is that income from both parties sort family bills. We usually use UK for context so people can have sense, but this has nothing to do with location. It applies everywhere. If you earn N2m monthly and your partner earns N350k monthly, the family income is N2.350m, and the family bills would be sorted from there.

Anyone who says “do something, no matter how small” is an evil person. Nobody who says that has any intention of doing anything substantial or meaningful. It is psychology. They are simply saying that doing something small is better than doing nothing and they expect you to be grateful they did something. A family runs on “we are in this together.” You cannot exclude money in togetherness because you want to be a selfish prick with no regard for family wholeness!

Cleric recounts past involvement in 1980 bank robbery, claims spiritual transformation

By: Zagazola Makama

A cleric with the Church of Christ in Nations, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has publicly recounted his past involvement in a bank robbery carried out in 1980 in Jos.

Dachomo, who has been described as a controversial figure, disclosed this in a recent interview with a foreign media

He said he was part of a gang that successfully carried out the operation and made away with a substantial amount of money in Plateau state. According to him, the robbery was led by a close associate at the time.

“He came to my room while I was sleeping. I didn’t know that I was operating with 14 demons until Jesus encountered me.

That night there was war. He came with seven angels. I was just an observer, seeing the drama that is being done on my life. Jesus ordered the seven angels to strike the enemy.

In fact, they were killed instantly. I took the covers of those images that were killed and I covered myself as if I’m dead. But the master Jesus said there was somebody that we have not killed.

Go, fish him out. When they were coming, booting other corpses, then I had to stand up and begin to beg. I was asking for forgiveness. Forgive me, forgive me. I will never do that again.”

He further admitted his past criminal involvement, stating: “Because I went in 1980, it was our gang that robbed a bank in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. 1980, they made away with a lot of money. It was my best friend that led the operation.”

The cleric added that the encounter marked a turning point in his life:

“I didn’t know that I would come and encounter God and God really helped me. That day that I encountered Jesus, I went outside. I tried my best to smoke cigarette or cool it. The power of smoking was broken in my life.”

The cleric stated that his life later took a different turn following what he described as a personal spiritual encounter, which led him to abandon criminal activities and embrace a religious path. H

e added that the experience marked a decisive break from his past, including the cessation of habits such as smoking.

The public confessions by reverend Dachomo has generate mixed reactions, with some viewing them as testimonies of transformation, while others call for scrutiny and historical verification of the claims.

Sheikh Yusuf Haruna Baban Chinedu, popularly known as Baban Chinedu, accused the pastor of fabricated the stories about meeting Jesus after a 1980 bank robbery in Jos.

He is lying! I want you to listen and know that first of all, this man is a complete hypocrite and a total liar. I swear, it was a gun that shot them! Angels? He claims Jesus came down with seven angels who struck them and killed fourteen people while he hid in the blood? You see, even the angels God sent down… only managed to kill fourteen people and lost track of where that one man was?”

The sheikh alleged Dachomo hid among corpses and was rescued by a gang member named Emmanuel, not Jesus: “He was begging Jesus for God’s sake to forgive him and spare his life. He claims that was where he met Jesus… By Allah, he is lying! … It was a gun that shot them! No Jesus descended there; he is lying to you.” He added.

A lady told me; she heard him when he was shot, and he still has the scar from that wound on his left side. … He is lying! At that time, it was the police, Nigerian security agents, Nigeria Police MOPOL who she said shot them.”

Baban Chinedu accused Dachomo of transitioning from “practical, street-level bandit” to “spiritual bandit” and inciting religious conflict.

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare.

In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do.

And the cost?

Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

Last week Trump said he didn't need Britain's help because he'd already won this war. So we mustn't let him push the UK around now.

Any decision on the deployment of our Armed Forces should be made in the UK's national interest and subject to a vote in Parliament.
