Buhari Leaves For Japan With Sanwo-Olu, Abdulrazak. *returns August 31

President Muhammadu Buhari will depart Abuja Sunday for Japan to participate in the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD7) holding in the City of Yokohama, August 28-30, 2019.

President Buhari’s participation will be his second, having attended TICAD6 in Nairobi, Kenya, in August 2016.

With the theme, “Africa and Yokohama, Sharing Passion for the Future,” the Opening Session of TICAD7 will be performed by the Japanese Prime Minister and host, Shinzo Abe.

President Buhari will deliver Nigeria’s Statement during Plenary Session Three in which he will appraise Nigeria-Japan relations and takeaways from TICAD6. He will attend a State Banquet and also honour the invitation of Emperor Naruhito to a Tea Reception at the Imperial Palace, Tokyo. In addition to a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Abe, the Nigerian President will also attend some side-events and meet chief executive officers of some Japanese companies with huge investments in Nigeria.

Formed in 1993, the now triennial TICAD, which has been convened alternately in Japan and Africa since TICAD6, according to the organisers, is the largest international conference held in Japan which “provides an open forum that generates innovative discussion among various stakeholders on African development.” Participants are drawn not only from African countries, but also international organisations, private companies and civil society organisations involved in development.

TCAD7 is expected to focus on Africa’s “economic transformation and improvements in business environment and institution through private investment and innovation; promotion of resilient and sustainable African society for human security; and peace and stability in support of Africa’s domestic proactive efforts.”

Nigeria has gained tremendously since her participation in TICAD6 at the highest level, during which Japan pledged $30 billion investment “for the future of Africa combined with the private sector;” $10 billion infrastructure investment, and $500 million for vocational training of 50,000 Africans.

Since the Nairobi Conference, Japanese government and companies have been very active in supporting Nigeria’s agriculture, healthcare, electricity and youth empowerment.

President Buhari and his delegation are expected in Yokohama to push for broader Japanese assistance in the areas of science and technology, innovation, human resource development, education, agriculture, power, health and disaster risk reduction, among others.

President Buhari will be accompanied by Governors Babagana Zulum, AbdulRaham AbdulRazaq and Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Borno, Kwara and Lagos States respectively; ministers and other top government officials.

The President is expected back in Nigeria on Saturday, August 31.

Primate Ayodele Drops 2019/2020 Prophecies! ''Nigerians Will Commit Suicide In Courts' Premises. I Foresee External Attacks At Border Posts''

+Atiku won't be president... *Dino Melaye will be Kogi gov. if... *Saraki remains PDP messiah... Senate president, Reps speaker, Oshiomhole to face impeachment plots... *New Owo must pray for life...

Famous Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has urged Nigerian government to keep a close watch on the country's borders with her neighbours as he foresees 'external aggression'.

Ayodele revealed this to journalists during the public presentation of the 2019/2020 edition of his annual prophecy handbook, 'Warnings to The Nations', which held at his church's headquarters in Lagos on Saturday, 25th of August, 2019.

While making his opening address, the seer took time to lecture critics on the importance and ethos of prophecy, noting that 'because God has a purpose for prophecy, which is to confirm His Word, there is no prophecy that is bad'. Prophecy, he notes, plays a large part in our lives, so it is more than just the bare basics.

Primate Ayodele stated further that the challenges facing Nigeria are caused by the kind of leadership it has, warning that unless the leaders change their ways and turn to God for solution, Nigeria would continue to swim in troubled waters.

Giving excerpts from the new prophecy book that is currently circulating around the world and can be read online at www.info@warningstothenations.org, the cleric, who had earlier prophesied some of the events currently happening in the country including the challenges posed to government by the activities of the Shi'ite movement, said God revealed to him that Nigeria would still not be governed by the Igbo in 2023. 

However, he warned that this may cause unforseen trouble for other ethnic tribes. ''Igbo will be disappointed on Nigeria's presidency but there will be problem,'' he revealed. In Lagos State, Ayodele said he foresaw the death of a king and a popular talkshow presenter. He called for prayer.

He revealed further;

''PDP will win Kogi governorship if it fields Dino Melaye as its flagbearer. Capital Oil CEO, Ifeanyi Ubah won't be Anambra governor. Abubakar Atiku should stop wasting money, Buhari will defeat him at the presidential election tribunal. Buhari won't win security fight unless he sacks his security chiefs. Oshiomhole will face removal as APC chairman. Also, God revealed to me that the senate president, Ahmed Lawan and the House of Representatives speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, will face impeachment plots. The senate must pray against the death of anyone.

I foresee the death of a publisher of books and a renowned educationalist. I foresee many states in Nigeria taking political decisions that will suit their environments. Nigeria needs prayers because the country will face several challenges, economic troubles and security crises. The politicians will not fulfil their electoral promises. There will be religious troubles and inflation. The year, 2023 in Nigeria, will cause a lot of tension but technically it will give the opposition problems and Nigeria will lose a publisher. I foresee the breakup of Nigeria in the nearest future.

On Ondo, I foresee the sitting governor, Akeredolu being reelected for another term. He must strategize well and pray to God. I foresee revolution and famine in Nigeria. Aso Rock needs spiritual cleansing. The country needs prayers. I foresee that there will be constitutional amendments to accommodate rotational presidency. In Buhari's second term, he will make efforts to stabilize the economy but he may not get it right.

The PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku must strategize properly so as to manage their internal crisis well because there will be problems in 2023 as the front line party office holders may be disappointed. I still see Bukola Saraki as the man who will stabilize PDP. I foresee that the ongoing election tribunal will sack some PDP and APC members. I foresee fire outbreak at APC headquarters. I foresee a rise  in cases if suicide in Nigeria and people would even attempt to commit suicide in court and company premises. The spirit of God says, the new Olowo of Owo in Ondo State will make the state progress but he will face challenges.The king must pray to live long.

There won't be transport union like NURTW in 20 years. I foresee terrorism spreading in Africa and major regions in Nigeria. The traditional council in Southwest Nigeria will face embarrassment because of involvement in politics. I foresee the suspension or removal of a Northern Emir. They should stay away from politics. Let Nigeria pray against terminal diseases and cholera. I foresee the discovery of a drug that would cure HIV. I foresee attacks at Nigeria's border posts. I foresee attacks on markets and Nigeria's military. 

There will be attacks and fire outbreaks at MTN warehouse. I foresee a case of massive frauds at Nigeria Customs and its top officers facing indictment. Also, Customs officers will be killed. I foresee dangers at airports in Calabar, Yola, Borno, Katsina, Jos, Owerri, Ilorin and Ibadan. And more...

''Kwara Gov. AbdulRazak Personally Gave N10m for Durbar Hosting'' ...forum declares

A group, the Kwara Media Forum, says Governor AbdulRasaq AbdulRahman of Kwara has donated N10 million to Ilorin Durban Foundation.

It said that speculation that the governor did not play any financial role in the recently held Ilorin Durbar festival was unfounded.

It said: “Report that Governor AbdulRahman did not contribute either in cash or kind to the event held in the ancient town last Monday went overdrive following his absence at the occasion which had in attendance an encouraging number of people from the town including dignitaries.

“The governor, who hails from the town, was conspicuous by his absence from the cultural horse riding procession just as he didn’t join other Muslim faithful at the Eid Praying Ground of the metropolis on Sallah day.”

In a statement signed by the spokesman of Kwara Media Forum, Rotimi Sulyman, the group expressed concern over alleged veiled attack on Governor AbdulRahman over the said incidents, saying the governor was deliberately being misconstrued by political jobbers and his adversaries with the view to malign his person and erode his electoral value.

It said: “Our attention has caught falsehood spewed in some circles in the state, claiming Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq contributed no dime in the successful organisation of the recently held Durbar Festival by the Ilorin Emirate despite being an indigene of the town.

“This false rumour has a political undercurrent and is spread in bad faith so as to discredit the governor and vitiate the overwhelming support his government has been enjoying across the state.
“Characteristically, the governor is not fussed about the claim but it behoves on some of us who were privy to things that went on behind the scenes in relation to the event to set the record straight.

“Our group has it on good authority that the governor in his private capacity gave N10m to the committee saddled with organising the event. Besides, it is not in Gov. AbdulRahman’s DNA to sacrifice the welfare of the generality of the people of the state at the altar of ethno-religious politics, kleptomania and self-conceited few that were the stock-in-trade of the previous ruler with its serious consequences including grinding poverty and massive infrastructure deficit.”

Sulyman said Kwara State was better off under the current dispensation, adding infrastructure was getting a boost while civil servants were now paid promptly.
It said: “It is early days, of course, but things are already looking up.
“Kwara may not be out of the woods, but there are positives to take from the incumbent governor’s altruistic leadership style.

“The state civil servants now get their salaries in whole before due date unlike the past government that was paying them in piecemeal at its convenience.
“The roads are being fixed by this administration without costing an arm and a leg.

 

     

Apostle Suleman Inducted As Fellow of Nigerian Books of Record Today

The Nigerian Books of Record Research Institute, Abuja, Nigeria, will honour the senior pastor of the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman and induct him as a Fellow of the Nigerian Books of Record today, Sunday 18th of August, 2019.

Suleman's untiring spirit of using the pulpit to fight on the side of the oppressed, has earned him a place among eminent personalities like Pastor E.A. Adeboye, President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and more, who are on the list of the Nigerian Books of Record's Circle of Eminence.

A statement by the director-general of the Nigerian Books of Record, Dr. David David, recognizes Apostle Suleman as one example of a true Nigerian who is doing so much to improve the international image of the country, especially by using the pulpit to contribute positively to issues of national interest.

The statement said that the Institute said it is honouring Suleman for his hard work, youth empowerment, humanitarian liberation and nation building.

The DG added that attitudinal re-orientation recognized as the best way to address the myriad of societal problems confronting the Nigerian society is the philosophy by the Nigerian Books of Record's behind honouring selected Nigerians in which Apostle Suleman belongs who are making remarkable achievements in their chosen professional callings to break the gap between history and achievers in Nigeria and using it to spread the message of value re-orientation and social harmony.

With this honour, Apostle Suleman, who since his knowing and accepting Christ, has not relented in fighting for justice and fairness, has been listed among such individuals in Nigeria who are elevated and positively positioned as role models for future generations to emulate their virtues and accentuates the value system of the Nigerian society.
