Stop blaming Buhari for Nigeria’s woes – PDP Governor

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta on Sunday urged Nigerians, especially political leaders, to stop blaming President Muhammadu Buhari for Nigeria’s challenges.

Mr. Okowa spoke in Benin at the end of a seven-day convention of the Rock of Ages Christian Assembly International (RACAI).

The convention had the theme: “Too Faithful to Fail”.

The governor, a member of the opposition PDP, said that Nigerians should support the president instead of the ‘undue’ criticism.

He urged Christians to constantly pray that the nation would surmount its numerous challenges.

According to him, Delta had many challenges shortly after he took over power, but the challenges were surmounted with the help of prayers.

“I refused to be disturbed or regret being in power at that difficult moment. Apart from plans made to tackle the problems, we embarked on prayer, especially the one we organise every May 29, since 2015.

“This is a way to say thank you God, we still believe and trust in you. The church must continue to pray for this country.



“If you do not pray and you continue to complain about the nation’s woes, you are not a Christian.

“When our nation is sick, we as a people are also sick. We should take the burden of the country as that of ourselves,” he urged.

The Pastor of RACAI, Charles Osazuwa, said that it was time Nigerians took responsibility of proffering solutions to the nation’s numerous challenges.

He said that the convention was to sensitise Nigerians to the need to contribute their best to solving the country’s problems.

“In the course of this conference, knowledge has been imparted on the people; when the people apply it, it will make a significant difference in their lives and that of the country.

“It is time for individuals to rise up to take responsibilities rather than complain,” he urged.

UK sanctions Oyakhilome’s TV over 5G/COVID-19 claims

Posted By
The Office of Communications, the regulatory authority for the broadcasting and telecommunications industries in the United Kingdom, has sanctioned Loveworld Limited, operators of  LoveWorld,  a religious cable channel, for airing “unsubstantiated claims linking the pandemic to 5G technology”. The television network owned by the Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, was also penalised for feeding viewers with the claim that coronavirus is a ‘global cover-up’. In a statement on Monday published on its website, Ofcom stated that the caution followed an investigation into the matter. The statement read in part, “Our investigation found that a report on Loveworld News included unsubstantiated claims that 5G was the cause of the pandemic, and that this was the subject of a ‘global cover-up’. “Another report during the programme suggested hydroxychloroquine as a ‘cure’ for Covid-19, without acknowledging that its effectiveness and safety as a treatment was clinically u...

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...
