  • Cross River Assembly Speaker Pledges Support To Prison Ministry After Visiting The Afokan Prison

    The Speaker Cross River State House Assembly, Hon. John Gaul Lebo has pledged to support the Chapel of Mercy, Afokang Prison Calabar.

    He made the pledge during a routine monthly visit to the Chapel of Mercy Chaplaincy Afokang Prison.

    Hon Lebo stated that the Gaul Lebo Foundation and Prison Ministry, tagged “Welfare Evangelism” which he had inherited from his father had been in existence for 15 years.

    The Speaker promised to make available Gideon Bibles, Devotionals and other Biblical literature to help uplift the spiritual well-being of inmates, emphasizing that the gospel should not be preached on empty stomach hence the need for the humanitarian gesture to provide food stuffs for inmates.

    He enjoined inmates to respect prison authorities and see the prison as a reformation ground, reiterating his resolve to train former inmates at the CBN- Entrepreneurship Development Center.

    According to the Speaker, this gesture would help the former prisoners acquire trade skills and capacities that would enable them to live well and easily re-integrate into the society.

    Speaking, Barrister William Anwan, officiating minister of the Chapel of Mercy Chaplaincy, Afokang Prison extolled Hon. John Gaul for his magnanimity while wishing him well in all his endeavours.

  • The maladministration of the Buhari’s government and the shift of blames on every setback the Government faces

    I’m actually not perturbed over all that is going on in the country.

    The maladministration of  the Buhari’s government and the shift of blames on every setback the Government faces to the  previous administration,is nothing surprising. I anticipated all these.

    I also warned those who cared to listen, that Buhari is a tyrant, and autocrat and a Chief in disrespecting the law.

    All his lab rats however, will always come out with their deadly viruses like the lassa fever(come to think of it, i think these his lab rats are the ones who brought back the lassa fever to Nigeria 😕)

    I remember posting this during the Campaigns ;

    All of you walking around with thick mist of sentiments clouding your judgments like a Blur vision, and continue wallowing in ur self inflicted ignorance, or shld I say you have made urself experimental objects in Buhari’s lab test, which from day one has been a failure and has proven falsification. With such obvious Perjury and disrespect against the Rule of Law.

    Because of the shallow mindedness of some supporters, they are yet to see that Buhari is no respectant of the rule of Law, because of the Shallow mindedness of some supporters of failure, they are yet to see that the federal government allows every TV station the right to Air criticism without threat of being banned. If Buhari were president, do you think after what Channels Aired against the Jonathan’s admin, Channels will still be operating today? AIT you are calling a tool of the presidency, did you know they Aired that same program? Tunde Bakare was preparedly condemning the Admin, Campaigning Openly and directly for Buhari with  pages of written Condemnation of the Jonathan’s Admin…..

    Do you think its unconstitutional for jonathan to decide a ban on Channels? Which he could have done with a flimsy excuse, but he didn’t.

    I read something up somewhere, and someone was saying AIT was showing the ills of Buhari’s government without a Pro-Buharist there to defend it. Tell me the Pro-Jonathanian Tunde Bakare called to defend the Jonathan’s admin in his church whilst Condemning the same government he admitted is now the 23rd largest Economy In the “World” under the Jonathan’s admin, and went further to agree that Nigeria’s Vision 2020 is coming to past.

    Whether You all blinded, parochial and shallow minded Buharist admit it or not, or call it development on paper, Nigeria is three countries away from attaining the Vision 2020, and under the Jonathan’s Administration, Nigeria is the second fastest growing economy(Next to china)

    All these Buhari Supporters just put bullets in Jonathan’s Gun, it was quite funny seeing some comments and updates condemning AIT for broadcasting the ills of the Buhari’s government. Did anybody, even the talkative Doyin Okupe say anything when Channels Aired live Tunde Bakare’s condemnation on the Jonathan’s Administration? Some Of us are Scared of Opening the Book of truth because we are scared of what we will find.

    This thing is simple, we are here today to see the Ills of the Jonathan’s government, with little or no appreciation to what he has achieved, but why are you scared after checking the achievements of the buhari’s government (without searching for the failures) and someone decided to bring to our knowledge the Failures of his government? Why are we so scared of what they had to say about Buhari’s government? Why not go and ask the older ones for explanations on what was alleged against buhari?

    You will end up putting yourself in an Excruciating Pleasure which you can extricate yourself from now already, by knowing the truth. mtcheeeeewww#such Fear to find out the Truth#Y’all take a seat#MakeGej Your Val#or make a man that has love as an allergy your Val#Come february14#im not moving forward to my Past#I say NO To Buhari#im forging Ahead#GejTill2019#Haters Please jump into River Nile #Suckers in Losers clothing’s#Like Fela called buhari#Craze Man In Animal Skin…..Lol, I wish fela were Alive today(R)eturn (I)f (P)ossible Baba Fela. Buhari for see something….Bye bye#TTYL”

    I dey watch the Government for 100D Screen *Make I go sip garri a abeg. I go drink the lassa and the fever all sef for the garri 😕😕

  • Oh, did you know Buhari purportedly budgeted 10 billion + for Cars at the Villa?

    Okay, let’s call a spade what it is.

    During the campaigns, Buhari said he and his deputy will use one sachet of milk & milo in making their Tea, while condemning the amount Jonathan allocated to the Villa’s feeding.

    Now, here we are. From what he budgeted, i think;

    1)He’ll be washing his hands with Ciroc
    2)Use a customized Louis vuitton hand towel once to clean his hand after every wash.
    3)He’ll need to take a flight from his bedroom to his sitting room😕
    4)The vehicles at the villa will be using Jet Fuel, and not ordinary Fuel😂😂
    5)He’ll be eating Yeezy_Boost Rice, Marc_Jacobs Bean, Pierre_Cardin Soup😀😀

    Oh, did you know Buhari purportedly budgeted 10 billion + for Cars at the Villa?

    And i heard he spewed a certain Gibberish, aimed at saying he’ll stop the National Assembly of 469 members from buying cars worth 4.7billion naira.

    Who is Buhari? Just laugh at the end.

    BUHARI IS A FRAUD

    FRAUD IS BUHARI

    CLASS IN SESSION: class, what is the Comparative for Fraud?

    Ans: APC

    What is the Superlative For Fraud?

    Ans: Buhari.

    Good.

    Now, class, make a sentence with the word Buhari.

    Ans: Abacha is the most corrupt Head of state Nigeria ever had, he Buharied Nigeria of Billions of naira.

    Teacher: Good, very good example. Young man, you deserve a double promotion 😂😂😂

  • VP Osinbajo Clears Misconceptions About Promised N5,000 Youth Stipend


    Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, says contrary to the misconceptions about the Conditional Cash Transfer, the scheme is well thought out and will cater for thousands of unemployed youths.
    In an exclusive interview with Channels Television’s, Chamberline Usoh, at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday, Professor Osinbajo stressed that the cash transfer promised during the campaign of the All Progressives Congress was meant for the poorest in the society and not for the unemployed people, as popularly believed.
    “There is a bit of misrepresentation of what it is.
    “Some people have suggested that we are giving 5,000 Naira to unemployed young people. No!
    “What we are doing for young people, graduates and the unemployed is the teachers’ scheme as well as the vocational training,” the Vice President explained.
    He stressed that the government was looking at other aspects of social investments that would tackle the youth employment situation in Nigeria.
    “Youth employment is very crucial, especially because we know now… with all of the percentages of out of school graduates and undergraduates who have been out of school for a while and have no jobs.
    “We think that for graduate employment, a direct creation of jobs and the ‘Teach Nigeria’ scheme that will employ 500,000 teachers, will address some of that concern,” he told Channels Television.
    Professor Osinbajo further stated that the government was also looking at addressing the challenges of those who were not graduates.
    “We are looking at investing in that also substantially and how we intend to do that is by this youth employment scheme that will involve a lot of training in vocational skills, entrepreneurship, business methods and all of that”.

  • No Cross River Government Website Is Functional As ICT Commissioner Promises To Revive Them

    The news as reported by a concerned persons from CrossRiverWatch :

    Months after the Cross River state, Governor Ben Ayade created a full fledged Ministry of ICT in Cross River State, findings by CrossRiverWatch reveal that almost all state owned websites and their affiliates are either left for long durations without updates, or not functional at all while others have bugs and coding errors.
    The official website of the state government which is www.crossriverstate.gov.ng when visited severally over the course of one month showed only a few press releases from the government, a profile of the governor, Benedict Ayade and his wife, Linda Ayade and a photograph of the deputy governor, Ivara Esu while every other thing was from the past administration.
    The Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs dropdown menu is outdated with those functional under governor Liyel Imoke still displayed with newly created ministries such as ICT, Transport, Power and several others not listed on the site. Some links when clicked, displayed a page ridded with coding errors.
    Also, the Commissioners list is outdated as none displayed on the site is still in office as all vacated office with their principal, former governor Liyel Imoke.
    The Carnival Calabar Queen site could not be accessed as the domain had been flagged by the host seemingly for failing to renew subscription.
    Also, the official carnival website had no information regarding the 2015 carnival with the festival website the only one functioning with a few events uploaded to the site which still had features of the 2014 festival dominant.
    State owned media affiliates like The Giant Strides and Mofi News links embedded on the state website failed to open severally and when opened, displayed nothing.
    The ICT Commissioner, Ofu Ayia when contacted on telephone, thanked this reporter for showing interest in the affairs of the state. He acknowledged the websites were down but quickly added the reason why.

    He said that, “yes they are issues and this is due to several technical issues which began with a thunder strike in some ICT installations but they are been fixed and will be updated soon”.
