Bishop David Oyedepo Tasks President Jonathan On Terrorism

Popular Nigerian clergyman, Bishop David Oyedepo, has advised the Federal Government on the wave of terrism being perpetrated by the Boko Haram insurgents across Nigeria.

Punch reports that the founder and Chancellor, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, told President Jonathan to find means of resolving the crisis rocking some states in the North so as to prevent the country from turning into a war zone during a workshop organised by the African Leadership Development Centre on the university campus early in the week.

Speaking on the theme: “The Leadership Imperative: Conflict Management and Conflict Resolution Demands for Inspiring Transformation and Driving Change”, Oyedepo stated that though conflict was unavoidable in any part of the world, it was important that the leadership of the country dealt with such in order to avoid a state of war.

“War is a sucker. It sucks the resources of a nation. Only those who don’t know its cost propagate it. We must not have war in Nigeria. We should not even think of it. Its consequences are unimaginable. War is a crime against humanity. It erodes human dignity, destroys and devastates. It is staring at us in the face but we must avoid it.

“I once saw a family in Iraq who were feeding on leaves from graveyard. That is what war can do. It destroys the humanity in us. There is no life in war,” he added.

4 Chibok Girls Listed As Missing Were Found At Home With Parents

Presidential committee on the abduction of schoolgirls in Chibok was reportedly informed that 4 girls previously listed as missing, escaped but their parents failed to provide the information on time.

According to Sahara Reporters, Borno State Commissioner for Education Musa Inuwa Kubo made this known last Friday.

The discovery was made when Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima ordered the Education Ministry to create detailed profiles on each missing girl. During that process, involving visits to parents, 4 girls were found safe at home.

It was learnt that these girls could be among those students who escaped when Boko Haram transported them to the unknown location. Following the return the parents probably failed to notify the competent bodies because they were afraid the abductors would return for the girls.

Having taken into consideration the latest data, Kubo concluded that the current number of missing girls is 219.

This however conflicts with the information provided by Chibok official Bana Lawan, who said 4 girls were released by Boko Haram insurgents due to illness. However, the government is said to be unaware of the alleged released, a source revealed to the journalists.

Is She Mrs Right?

For centuries now, or at least for as long as tabloids have been in existence, a copious amount of pages have been dedicated to the failed romances of celebrity couples. Some married for years, some for months and some for only days. This poses a scary question: if famous people can't choose a spouse, how on earth are we expected to?

It is of primary importance when planning how to propose that you don't go beyond your means when choosing a ring, but also that the woman you are proposing to is the right one for you. There is nothing worse than dragging yourself through proposal ideas, intricate wedding plans, flower arrangement selections and table centre pieces, only to end up divorced a few years down the line. In fact, it may surprise you to know that the divorce rates for first marriages is 50%, rising to 67% for second marriages and those who believe in the 'third time lucky' mantra get divorced an average of 74%. So how do you ensure you don't end up wifeless and divorced? Well, you follow our checklist, of course, and as we all know, there is nothing in life that cannot be determined through a 'tongue in cheek' list.

First on the list is: Does History repeat itself?
