*VP Osinbajo Will Be Used And Dumped

*APC Will Use Technical Rigging In 2019 Elections"

*NURTW Will Be Scrapped

*Northern States Will Form One Party After Buhari's Tenure

Servant of God and founder and spiritual leader at INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, has released the 2018/2019 edition of his annual prophecy book, 'Warning to The Nations'. At a parley in his church on Saturday, August 4th, 2018, the popular prophet highlights the contents of the book before a select group of journalists from Nigerian major print and online newspapers and bloggers. Below are excerpts from the encounter...

What has God shown you can stop the killings in the country?  

What will caution these killings in Nigeria, the solution if the government can do it is, (i) let’s practice true federalism (ii) let there be no election in 2019 (iii) let’s have an agreement that states should go on their own and take care of their resources, this will caution corruption, because they only bring tax or percentage to the federal to take care of themselves, that is when the state policemen can work. If we want Nigeria to move forward it is not the election in 2019 that is the way forward for the country, the solution is, let the states be independent, then our electoral body too, by the time we do that their won’t be killings, and much later if we don’t want to live together, you can now opt out. Either we like it or not Nigeria will not exceed 2035. Let us pray against the death of a prominent Emir. Let GLO chairman pray for his health and his business because I see very serious challenges facing his business soon. Benin Republic president won't win a second term in office. Ghanaian president should work hard and pray hard so that his second term would not be jeopardized on the altar of ethnicity. The international community will gang up against the Buhari government towards 2019 general elections. Rashidi Ladoja will not be Oyo governor again. He should perish the ambition,  says the Lord.

Have you given these solutions as a concerned Nigeria or as what God has showed you?

I'm not a politician, and I don’t want to be one. If we see that that is not the solution then we can go for another one, but this is a solution that will bring us from the burden we are. We are not voting for conscience any longer in election, we are voting for money, and is everywhere in the world not Nigeria only.

Do you see the youth coming to leadership positions from 2019? 

If you are a youth and you don’t have money you cannot be recognized, but when you have money you can go places. So any youth without money can’t, and you must also have a political godfather and you must know how to join political thuggery which will give them the avenue, but every politician has youths as thugs, so my fear for the youth is we haven’t seen any seriousness in them, they are not yet determined to do what is right, expect they shun violence for any political purpose and have integrity. Poverty is also the problem, there is too much of hardship.

You once spoke about senate president, Saraki, that if he didn’t contest for presidency, God will be annoyed with him. Now that Saraki is with PDP are you still standing that he should contest?

See the new prophecy book first because it is a very important issue. We said it a long time ago and you can tell what is happening now.

Do we take whatever you say here as prophecy so that people will not confuse your words with opinion?

I'm not a politician and I don’t give opinions, all I say is prophetical.

Sometimes ago you said you warned Ekiti Governor, Fayose which he disobeyed and that was why you said he failed to win governorship for his party; now in Osun State, by September there will be election. APC has broken into factions, what should we expect in Osun State?

First on the Osun State governorship election; we said it many weeks ago that the victory is between three political parties, APC, PDP and ADP. But i see APC winning if it puts its house in order. I see fight between the APC chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, and the party's Board of Trustees. This position of the Lord remains. The whole messages are contained in the book. On Fayose, I want to tell you that Fayose shot himself in the foot because of greed, self-interest and ingratitude, and these led to his party’s defeat. If he had not disobeyed God, his party would have been victorious in the July 14^th 2018 election. God revealed to us and we warned Fayose to desist from being selfish, greedy and ungrateful but he snubbed God’s warnings. He said he is also a prophet.  He kept deceiving the people that he had the gift of the prophets. Now, he has realized that God is not mocked. 

In 2014, you said that APC would take over power after Goodluck Jonathan, and that you foresaw another party coming up that would defeat APC and rule for 18 years and the party will be formed by some aggrieved elements from across the north. Are we getting close to the prophecy?

I still stand by that prophecy. God said that in the nearest future, a party will take over, and there will be no PDP or APC. We are going to see a strictly Northern party, a strong, regional party by the Northerners.

What do you foresee on the international scene?

Democrat will win the next election in America. President Donald Trump will survive impeachment but will not get a second term. He will be technically defeated. I see Texas in America being recognized as an independent state in 2038.

Who is God telling you will be the next president of Nigeria, do you see Buhari coming back; you said some political dynasties will go away by 2019, are you specifically referring to somebody, is Saraki the man God said will help Nigeria?      

Buhari’s second time is very dicey, and the honest truth is that if Buhari goes for a second term by force, there will be problems. God wants to use Saraki for something symbolic for four years only. If PDP can give him the presidential ticket, the party will bounce back and Nigeria will change for good. Otherwise, I don’t see any positive changes ahead.

You said God wants to use Saraki for four years, don’t you think that he could probably have achieved it because, in this present time that he is the senate president, some of the things happening under his leadership are not good enough.           

You as journalist can analyze that, but me I cannot because I’m not speaking as a politician but God’s servant. That is what I know and that is how I will answer it. If PDP wants to win, let them give Saraki the presidential ticket. Saraki's leadership will change a lot of things.

You said you don’t see Nigeria existing beyond 2035, I want to know if there will be bloodbath or the breakup will be peaceful?

Yes, Nigeria will break up but God says Nigeria’s breakup will be peaceful. 

Can you speak on why men of God contradict one another while giving prophecies?

God can give a prophet a message and for one reason or the other, He can take the message to another prophet to deliver. This is how God works. That is why I cannot analyze God the way He works. Either positive or negative, either it come to pass or not, I’m not in a position to judge God or any prophet or speak on anybody’s prophecies.

You said in the book that so many PDP governors will decamp, who are the governors?

They are both PDP and APC governors. Let’s wait and see. The book also talks about our warning in 2017 that the governorship ambition of Senator Solomon Yayi will hit the rocks. But if he can apply more strategies, I see him returning to the senate. Also, the book warned about the deaths of both former UN secretary-general, Kofi Annan and American lady singer, Aretha Franklin. I see INEC and Police being used by the ruling party in 2019 to get what I call 'technical rigging'. I see new billionaire businessmen  emerging in Nigeria while the likes of Dangote and Otedola will fizzle out. I see the government scrapping NURTW and new, corporate body will be established to run the transport union as a separate ministry and government will be appointing the leadership. This is what the Lord says. Akpabio will not be able to hijack the PDP structure from Akwa Ibom governor.

What do you foresee about the forthcoming Osun State governorship election, especially concerning the dancing senator

I don't know any dancing senator. But APC should put their house in order if they want to win the election. If they don’t they will lose it. I don't see Ladi Adebutu realizing his political ambition in PDP. Likewise, Adebayo Adelabu will not be given governorship ticket in Oyo State. That is what the Lord says. He is just wasting his time and energy. I see pride killing his political ambition. He needs to seek God's face. Amaju Pinnick's time at NFF is over. Ambode should be careful not to fight Tinubu after winning a second term in 2019. I see him winning. There will be no Lagos State in some years from now because Lagos State will be divided into two different states. I see Ekiti, Ibadan and Ondo producing food for the whole country in the nearest future. I foresee Kwara State becoming a political Mecca for other parts of Nigeria and it will be rich in rice production and cattle rearing. Kwara will also discover petrol, tin and gold in large quantity. 

     

"Why We Got NBC To Ban Falz's 'This Is Nigeria' Song" ...MURIC

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has said that after unsuccessfully trying to get Falz, a Nigerian singer to take down his viral video “This is Nigeria” they ‘ambushed’ him using National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).

A statement, Monday by MURIC Director Ishaq Akintola, stated that they avoided going to court as that might take years to resolve.

“We asked Falz to withdraw the video or we would sue him,” the statement read.

“Instead of showing remorse he dared us. We knew he could delay the court case for years because he is a lawyer and he would use every trick in the books to frustrate us. That was why he was boasting.

“Therefore, instead of going to court, we decided to ambush him by sending a petition to the video board. This week, the NBC banned the video and others like it.

“He should be the one to go to court now if he likes. Let him go and show how brilliant he is in court.

“He and his fans laughed at us when we complained about his provocative and vulgar video. But there is no doubt that he who laughs last laughs best. It is hoped that Nigerian artistes will borrow a leaf from this episode.”

The group commened the NBC they said  “Falz and other artistes should encourage the youth to emulate our heroes instead of pushing them to ape rogues. Finally, we commend NBC and the video censors board for acting swiftly.”

"I Love Being Free Without Clothes On" ...Top Model

ShugaTiti is a model making waves on the Ghanaian social media scene. The most obvious reason is because Shuga dares to pose nude in most of her photos and it has encouraged a huge following.

The young woman has skillfully played on her looks and physique to a very good extent. She is now very popular on entertainment blogging sites.

Now, 20 something-year-old model is riding on the waves of her newfound popularity. ShugaTiti is not shy of the spotlight neither of the cameras.

In a recent post on her Instagram page the model pose naked with the caption “I was born naked, no clothes on”. It does seem for Shuga that the endgame is to stay relevant in the news.

It seems for Shuga this is only the beginning of a good career. Even as a freelance model, her brand is fast growing up and that can only mean a good thing for the young woman.

METRO: Nigeria's Oldest Prisoner Clocks 100

Nigeria’s oldest prisoner, Pa Celestine Egbunuche, clocked 100 last Saturday, August 4, within the confines of Enugu Maximum Prison.

The centenarian, who hails from Akokwa in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, was condemned to death along with his son, Paul and another relation, now 87.

They were said to have been engaged in a fight over a piece of land and in the process, somebody died. With such fate, Pa Egbunuche has for over 17 years lived in desolation and hopelessness.

But all hope is not lost as a non-governmental organisation, Global Society for Anti-corruption (GSAC) is pushing for his release. GSAC has appealed to the Federal Government and Governor Rochas Okorocha to use their board of mercy and release Egbunuche, his 78 years old relation and son from prison.

Zonal Resource Executive of GSAC, Amaka Nweke, commended Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Priscilla Emehelu, for her recent prison visit where many inmates were granted freedom pleaded with her to look into the case of Pa Egbunuche whom she said their investigation showed might be Africa’s oldest inmate.

According to the NGO, Egbunuche has suffered from diabetes over the years, adding that with his age and failing health, it will be proper to release him to go and possibly die peacefully at home. If eventually released, the organisation would also want the Federal and State Governments to take care of Pa Egbunuche’s rehabilitation.

Experts said that in other jurisdictions, inmates above 65 years are eligible for either parole or state pardon.

Dangote To Create Jobs, Up Investments in Niger

Dangote Group has assured the Niger State Government of its resolve to increase its investment in the state as a way to create employment opportunity for the youths, which will ultimately lead to real growth and economic development of the state.

Dangote’s Group Executive Director, Eng. Ahmed Mansur who represented the President of the Group, Aliko Dangote at the ongoing Niger State Trade Fair, said the state has all it takes to be industrialized given its vast land and natural resources, even as he commended the government of Abubakar Sani Bello for being proactive in the partnership with the Group and other private sector investors.

President of the Niger Chamber of Commerce Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NCCIMA) Dr Umar Ahmed Bakai commended the Dangote Group for supporting and sponsoring the Trade Fair, adding that Alhaji Aliko Dangote has helped in job creation in the state.

He called on other investors in the country to emulate Mr. Dangote.

Speaking also, Chairman House of Assembly Committee on Investment Muhammad Nurudeen said the State House of Assembly welcomes private sector participation in driving the economy of the state.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Commerce and Investment Uthman Shehu urged the Dangote Group to scale up its investments in Shea Butter, saying the State has about 64% share of the total global shea butter production.

Africa’s industrial giant-Dangote Group-said its sponsorship of the ongoing Niger State Trade Fair was part of its commitments to support states toward the industrialization of Nigeria.

In partnership with states’ Chambers of Commerce, the Group has, over the years, sponsored most of the Trade Fairs across the country, a statement from the Group’s Corporate Communications Department said.

It said Niger State has vast arable land, mineral resources and great potentials for industrialization, adding that Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has taken the path to industrialization and job creation through his government’s partnership with the private sector.

The Trade Fair which opened on Saturday July 29, is expected to close on Thursday July 9, 2018.

The theme for the 16^th Niger’s National Trade Fair which is holding in the state’s capital, Minna is: ‘Exploring Agriculture and Solid Minerals as Panacea for Nigeria’s Economic Growth and Development.’

Our reporter said the Dangote pavilion at the Trade Fair is a Mecca of a sort as participants thronged the pavilion to have a glimpse of its innovative products, while others want to be distributors for the company.

Some of the products with pocket friendly prices on display include the recently improved pasta (Slim spaghetti and macroni), cement, Dan-Q Seasoning, sachet sugar, salt among others. 

It said the participation of the Group was part of the strategic move to grow market share and expand customer reach.

LIVING: Meal Preparation Points For Busy People

When it comes to healthy eating, there’s one strategy that works time and again which is planning ahead. This is because the time you probably may throw your healthy eating goals out the window is when you are busy. This said you do not have to spend hours preparing your meals. These points shared by Jumia Food, Nigeria's no 1 food ordering platform will help you quicken your food preparation process.

Buy, wash and chop

While this tip may appear time-consuming, washing and chopping necessary groceries after purchasing it, in the long run, saves time because you only have to go through this process once. Doing this will make meals like soups, and salads take a fraction of your time to make.

Clean as you go

Clean dishes and wipe down counters so you won’t have to spend time doing it after dinner. You will also have an easier time getting things cleaned if the mess is still fresh.

Master your microwave

Almost everyone has a microwave, but most of us only use it to warm leftovers. A microwave can be your best friend if you’re trying to eat healthily and spend less time in the kitchen. You can make tons of healthy foods in the microwave, including oatmeal, eggs, fish, and sweet potatoes.

Save new recipes for weekends

When you stick with your tried-and-true recipes during the week, you won’t be rushing to get ingredients together or hovering over the recipe card to make sure you did everything just right. Experiment with new recipes when you’re less pressed for time, like during the weekends.

Freeze leftover ingredients

If you have any leftover food, package all of them and free them. Once frozen, store them in freezer bags for quick and easy use in future recipes.

Five Mistakes That Can Wreck a Healthy Diet

Working hard usually pays, but it may not necessarily be the case in the quest to attain the ideal body weight. There are lots of contributing factors like age, exercise routine and proper diet that can affect a weight loss plan. However, it could simply be because of some unknown nutrition traps that had a hand in wrecking your plan to attain a healthy diet. Jumia Food, Nigeria's no 1 food ordering platform, discuss some of these traps of mistakes.

Buying on impulse

Going to the supermarket without having a shopping list handy is treading on dangerous grounds. Chances are that there will be lots of unneeded items in the shopping cart based on the store’s special promotions, usually from the snack and junk food.

Eating at night

Eating at night can lead to trouble. For example, maintaining a habit of eating while you watch TV can lead to overeating. Saving up your daytime calories for a nighttime meal is also unhealthy. You need calories during the day when you're expending energy. And if you're not eating enough in the day, you may be so hungry at night that you overeat.

Depriving yourself of your favourite foods

The more you tell yourself not to eat something, the more you desire it. Obsession can set in, and all of the sudden you’ve downed an entire cup of ice cream. Healthy eating isn’t about deprivation or drastically changing every aspect of your lifestyle. It’s about learning how to enjoy what you love in a healthy way.

Not keeping track of your food intake

Research shows that people who track their food intake if they're trying to lose weight or monitor sodium in their diet, are more successful. It makes you aware on a regular basis of what you're putting in your mouth and how much you're eating. Also, tracking your food provides you with an overall picture so you can figure out what's working and what isn't.

Keeping unhealthy foods within reach

It's more challenging to avoid unhealthy foods if you stock them in your refrigerator, even if they are intended only for a special occasion. The best thing to do is surround yourself with healthy food. That's what you'll eat when you find yourself looking for a snack. But if you buy a half gallon of ice cream, eventually it will go into your stomach.
